You look amazing Suz. Love those booties. This looks like "you". It's modern, a bit of trend, crisp clean lines love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-709247 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 11:42:59 +0000 Sveta 709247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So cool and it does feel like you. It is amazing like BF jeans can look so flattering in a right outfit even being slouchy and baggy. Mystery of the fashion!<br /> I now wear my BF almost weekly and this comfort factor cannot be beat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-709213 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 09:35:33 +0000 krishnidoux 709213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, this is definitively your style. Your signature look: a crisp button down shirt. Suits you marvellously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-709196 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 09:09:52 +0000 Kiwichik 709196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708995 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 01:40:29 +0000 Aida 708995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great take on Angie's BF look! I like the bright belt :D</p> <p>(I also want to see the hems rolled up higher with these boots, but that's probably just me.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708899 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 23:27:48 +0000 RunningSue 708899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you look just fantastic! And so happy. Maybe I should look at some BFs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708897 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 23:25:25 +0000 Suz 708897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, everyone. This has been a HUGE and fantastic learning experience for me. I think I've turned a corner and had a major style epiphany. More posts to come! </p> <p>By the way, do you know how helpful all of you are? This place is amazing!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708689 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 20:06:49 +0000 jayne 708689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is exactly the type of outfit I think of when I think Suz...it is you. But there is more than one side to you....so we just have to find the right balance for a new uniform in addition, not substitution of the old, huh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708667 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 19:55:28 +0000 kellygirl 708667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smashing! You are just too fab for words! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708664 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 19:54:58 +0000 Mona 708664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big hugs to you, Suz! love your interpretation of Angie's outfit. I read your other post about the two dresses yesterday but honestly I had no feedback on that. I hope you got a lot of good advise from more experienced YLFers and are able to decide which dress to keep. This is my last post on YLF for next week. I just could not resist after seeing your outfit. I am leaving early morning tomorrow for England. I will be on the forum on and off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708628 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 19:21:50 +0000 catgirl 708628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so great! I am glad you have a better handle on this whole situation now. YAY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708483 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 17:45:43 +0000 Arya 708483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great look, Suz, in no small part because you look like you feel GREAT in it! I hadn't given much thought to BF jeans, nor noticed the trend (my summer has mostly involved wearing scrubs and catching babies, what can I say?). I have seen some photos here on YLF lately, though, that makes me nostalgic for the look, which I wore in the mid-to-late 90s as a college student. Back then, they were actually my boyfriend's jeans...lol</p> <p>I've been thinking about your style exploration, and feel grateful to you for sharing your process. I liked the dresses you posted the other day, but I think it's so important that you feel like yourself, no matter what you're wearing. You didn't seem to feel like *you* in those outfits, which I think says a lot. In this outfit, you're incorporating on-trend with classic Suz touches, which makes for the perfect combination. Kudos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708474 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 17:34:06 +0000 MNsara 708474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, this LOOKS like you :-)</p> <p>It's okay to have alter egos (like Vix's three personas) - so maybe there will be the occasional day where unstructured drapey is your mood. That's where we can keep things fresh and not feel pigeon-holed.</p> <p>I like your comments: "The reason this one works? It is fitted, it is tucked, and it is paired with the more trendy BFs. If I wear a regular untucked button down with my shorts or a denim skirt I end up looking like a boring mom. And feeling frumpy. "</p> <p>I've felt like I needed a tutorial on how to wear button downs, so I grow to love them like others do. Maybe your ideas are a key . . . ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708399 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 16:40:00 +0000 lyn67 708399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is on of the most fabulous your outfits in a while Suz! Esp love the striking red(pink?)belt and lips.YLF!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708347 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:59:01 +0000 Angie 708347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>This looks like "Suz". Loving the belt and booties! </p> <p>(I am humbled to have inspired your outfit). </p> <p>Does Angie say: "Plunk"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708328 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:44:05 +0000 Suz 708328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everybody! Nice to be me again! </p> <p>Texstyle, I do have several button down shirts. And do wear them quite a lot. And I agree they are a good wardrobe staple for me. In fact, I "stocked up" on a couple for summer wear this year.</p> <p>But I've made some discoveries about those, as well. </p> <p>They can easily look altogether "too" classic and/or sporty/preppy on me for my style direction. </p> <p>The reason this one works? It is fitted, it is tucked, and it is paired with the more trendy BFs. </p> <p>If I wear a regular untucked button down with my shorts or a denim skirt I end up looking like a boring mom. And feeling frumpy. </p> <p>Sleeved button downs are also too hot for my regular summer wear. Even yesterday I ended up feeling uncomfortably warm in this outfit. So...the search for crisp, structured, yet NON preppy tops for summer continues! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708315 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:31:19 +0000 texstyle 708315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, this is so spot on YOU and it looks Amazing. You could wear a version of this every day and look perfect. Do you have a lot of button downs? They love you as much as your BF does. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708304 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:23:22 +0000 Astrid 708304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, this is perfect! And you look really comfortable too. I second Gaylene, maybe you think too much? Although I understand, I don't trust my instincts enough either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708296 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:18:18 +0000 Isabel 708296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Angie would say, " Plunk". I remember when you wanted to torque up your "cool" artist factor: I would say that you have definitely arrived. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708292 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:11:21 +0000 RunnerChick 708292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How cute are you?! This is such a terrific look. Like Gaylene, I'm not a fan of the BF jeans, and have resisted the trend for myself, but YLF posts sure are making rethink that stand from time to time. This post is inspiring - denim and white is one of my favorite combos, and it's good to see you rock it! </p> <p>BTW, I did not have a chance to comment on your posts about avant-garde style (with very little experience in the style department and a closet that consists mostly -- only? -- of classics, I didn't feel very qualified). But I did want to say that you looked terrific in the both the outfits you posted yesterday. The black dress was my favorite, but I liked the teal tunic as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708271 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:47:47 +0000 shiny 708271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708267 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:44:33 +0000 nancylee 708267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO so great, Suz. You look totally comfortable and at ease in this look. The sure sign of a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708263 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:43:14 +0000 Gaylene 708263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is totally a "Suz" outfit. As everyone on the forum probably knows by now, I am not the biggest fan of the BF jeans, but, when I see how you wear them, I'm becoming a convert. Those boyfriends look amazing with the shirt and belt!</p> <p>Just a thought, Suz-- maybe, if you start listening to your instincts, you'll find that your style evolution will just happen without you having to force it. This outfit makes it quite clear that you have a good idea of what you like and what looks good on you. Experiment with other shapes and cuts (otherwise you'd have never tried the BFs, right!), but don't forget to bring that confidence with which you pulled together this outfit with you when you are trying something new. Pay closer attention to your own fashion sense; if this outfit is any indication, your instincts are in fine form. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708237 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:25:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 708237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, yes you do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708231 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:18:11 +0000 Suz 708231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, the shirt is by Jackpot. I got it on sale last summer at a local boutique. </p> <p>You see, I do occasionally make a GOOD sale purchase, LOL!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708228 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:17:49 +0000 Anonymous 708228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, Suz! I think you have room for both of these styles in your persona. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708224 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:15:48 +0000 Lantana 708224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you look gorgeous in this gear but...<br /> please don't abandon exploring the "other" you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708221 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:15:18 +0000 Sona 708221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what an incredible look on you Suz!! PLONK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-angie-inspired-bf#post-708215 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 14:10:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 708215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhhhhhh....gorgeous Suz! I really think crispness and structure are a HUGE part of your style and what makes an outfit feel like "you". What brand of shirt is that Suz? I really like the fit and shape.</p> <p>This is simple and fabulous - now I need to go fix the cuffs on my BF jeans to look like yours! </p>
