If I'm in court, I'm going to try it on Wednesday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281971 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:52:05 +0000 Lisa 281971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie-Thanks! It's been work, but all the information I've been gathering from YLF is starting to sink in, and materialize. :)</p> <p>Lynne-Thanks! A tiny waist, you are too kind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281970 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:51:53 +0000 Isis 281970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your legs look a mile long in 4, my favorite! I like the two-color look, as shown. For a variation, a brighter scarf of a different color could change this one up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281874 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 18:45:16 +0000 Lynne 281874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! 3,4, and 6 are my favourites because they accentuate your teeny tiny waist! Lucky you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281868 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 18:40:18 +0000 Angie 281868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could model for Express, Lisa! Your outfits are great!</p> <p>You seem to be really fine tuning and streamlining your looks this year and I'm digging it. I am all over #5 = clean, cozy and casual in a fabulous way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281865 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 18:38:02 +0000 Lisa 281865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bump (because I bumped my own post off the page after responding to others) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281809 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 15:36:09 +0000 Lisa 281809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mellllls -Thanks! I'm often cold so layering is a must for me. I find if I layer a thin knit under a chunky one I can layer two knits. If the knits are too thick, it doesn't work for layering. Then I use blazers to layer with my bulky knits.</p> <p>Tara-Thanks! Yes, these Express sweaters are really quite nice. And I like the design of this one, it slims the areas that need slimming. :)</p> <p>Sveta -Thanks!</p> <p>Jonesy -Thanks! You are spot on about this sweater, I wish they still had it in stores as I would have doubled up on these.</p> <p>Bella -Thanks! It's going to be great to catch up. Last time in NYC was too short. If I wear those boots I don't think I will take them off. :)</p> <p>Kellygirl-Thanks! I want to start incorporating your idea, more dresses at some point. Maybe when SYC is over.</p> <p>FoolOfATook -Thanks! I enjoy when my posts start new ideas. Don't forget to share your copoycat looks. :)</p> <p>Taylor -Gosh, thanks! *blushing*</p> <p>Refugee -Thanks! I find the gray looks off to my eye with black, and with white. Maybe I'll just post with those colors and see what the verdict is. I like the bootcut idea. It appears my current bootcuts are thinner than they used to be. I'm excited to try out some of the newer bootcut/flare styles that are in stores. So fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281717 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 04:56:15 +0000 Refugee 281717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure why you're having trouble wearing the gray blazer. Looks a versatile basic to me. The sweater and shirt in number 4 looks like they might have possibilities for a 70s vibe with some bootcut/flared jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281709 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 04:43:53 +0000 taylor 281709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great week as usual. I almost feel I could spot you in a crowd ..I have come to know and love your style:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281703 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 04:37:08 +0000 FoolOfATook 281703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love each one, but I LOVE that furry vest. It looks so warm and soft! I'm going to have to try some copycat looks. Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281686 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 04:03:27 +0000 kellygirl 281686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab week, LIsa! I especially love 1, 4 and 6 on you. That furry vest is so fun--I love it unbelted. Love the layering in 4 and the body hugging fit of 6 with those boots and gorgeous scarf! You look like you've found your style groove! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281632 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 02:29:38 +0000 bella 281632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you wear those Cole Haan boots to swap on Saturday, I am gonna steal them from you! I am really looking forward to seeing you again irl Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281602 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 01:27:59 +0000 Jonesy 281602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Sveta said! I especially love 6 because of the jazziness the scarf brings to the mix, and how the sweater hugs your curves, especially your waist, and shows them off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281567 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 00:45:03 +0000 Sveta 281567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice week, Lisa. My favorites are ##4 and 6 - they are the most flattering on you IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281506 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 22:59:22 +0000 tarzy 281506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Sorry - duplicate!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281495 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 22:46:05 +0000 tarzy 281495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits. You have a great jeans collection! (I just bought that same sweater you have in #6/#7! I love the length on it.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281490 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 22:41:35 +0000 Mellllls 281490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>your outfits are great! i really love the vest in the first 2. and i like how you layer two different knit sweaters on top of each other..i struggle to do that. with respect to the gray jacket, i think it would look better with a shirt with more color underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-stuck-on-express#post-281451 Sun, 16 Jan 2011 21:29:57 +0000 Lisa 281451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>It would appear I was stuck on Express this past week. Every outfit has something from Express in it.</p> <p>#1/2-Furry Vest (again)<br /> I previously wore this furry vest <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boots-and-jeans">in this post</a> and the suggestions were to wear a lower contrast top and remove the belt. Any better now? #2 is a close up of the vest's texture.</p> <p>#3-Two Tone<br /> I am continuing to play with the whole minimalist/classic idea. This day was another attempt. This top is similar to the tank version Angie recommended previously. It is indeed very soft.</p> <p>#4-Shirt and Sweater<br /> It's funny I always grab shirts in the store and then struggle to wear them at home. Here was a layered look. I tried pushing up the sleeves, it looked nicer that way, but I was too cold to leave them pushed up.</p> <p>#5-Gray Blazer<br /> I am trying to SYC. This blazer has sat unworn since August. For some reason it's been a struggle to wear this piece. This is another day I suspect pushing up the sleeves would look nicer, but until it gets warmer (it was 9F when I got up this day) I'll keep skin exposure to a minimum.</p> <p>#6-Stand By Look<br /> My winter stand by formula, top, scarf, boots and jeans. #7-To show the sweater alone, sometimes I think my scarves hide my sweaters too much. </p> <p>Comments/Suggestions are welcomed and thanks for looking!</p> <p>Outfits:<br /> #1/2-Furry Vest (again)<br /> Vest/Waistcoat-BR<br /> Sweater-Express<br /> Tank-American Eagle<br /> Jeans-Hudson<br /> Cowboy Boots-Durango</p> <p>#3-Two Tone<br /> Cardigan-Eddie Bauer<br /> Leans-Kenneth Cole<br /> Top-Express<br /> Tank-Halogen<br /> Boots-Cole Haan</p> <p>#4-Shirt and Sweater<br /> Sweater-BCBG Maxazaria<br /> Shirt-Express<br /> Scarf-Nordstrom<br /> Jeans-Lucky Sweet n Low<br /> Booties-Clarks</p> <p>#5-Gray Blazer<br /> Blazer-Esprit<br /> Top-Tommy Hilfiger<br /> Tank-Eddie Bauer<br /> Jeans-Express Stella Skinny<br /> Boots-Frye</p> <p>#6-Stand By Look<br /> Scarf-Rachel Zoe from QVC<br /> Sweater and Skinnies-Express (Jeans Stella cut)<br /> Boots-Ugg<br /> Tank-Halogen </p>
