I'm glad it's over! And I'm so glad your cat returned. What a relief!</p> <p>All your outfits are fab, Sveta. You are always so polished and attentive to detail. I love the tomato red! I need to add more to my closet. In general, I like all your color combos here. As for the blush top, I prefer it semitucked, I think because the outfit is on the simpler side. The semituck exposes the belt and gives the viewer&nbsp;a focal point for the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week/page/2#post-1252155 Thu, 15 May 2014 03:50:26 +0000 Jaime 1252155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The light blue blazer looks great on you. I also love the last one with the pink sweater. You look terrific in all of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week/page/2#post-1252149 Thu, 15 May 2014 03:47:09 +0000 lyn* 1252149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry to hear that you have had such a tough week! I am glad that your kitty is okay, but sad that your car isn't doing too well. Replacing the car though, will give you piece of mind for many years (vs. deck furniture or NAS, as wonderful as NAS is!) - I need to do this for my car soon too!</p> <p>You make blush pink look so easy to wear, I am super jealous. It always looks weird on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week/page/2#post-1252090 Thu, 15 May 2014 02:38:12 +0000 Sveta 1252090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry I was away from my computer for several days and did not get to respond before - this car hunt was pretty&nbsp;exhausting!</p> <p>We found a car. After driving big American cars for 16 years we decided to try Toyota Corolla for a change. I have signed the papers today and we are taking possession on Saturday (hopefully our old car will last that long). This is an expensive purchase and I am a bit&nbsp;nervous right now - hopefully we did not make a mistake &lt;knock on wood&gt;</p> <p>As for the kitty - I tried to keep her indoors the first summer but it is almost impossible. She came to us when she was about 6 months old so she was already familiar with the outdoors and the joy of freedom. She is the one who is going out in any weather and sometimes does not come home until morning ( one time during a blizzard! ) However she was never away for 3 days in a row so I was worried. I would like to know&nbsp;where she has been all this time (but I definitely do not want to know what she ate then )</p> <p>Thank you all so much for your comments, they were so lovely to read after a busy day!<br />Windchime, white jeans are waiting for you somewhere for sure!<br />Mona, I have also seen that Zara blazer is not available anymore: I am glad I pounced in time! BTW the yellow one would look striking on you.<br />Karie, he-he, actually my pants do not fit that well right now as I am still losing weight. The ones in #3 are fine because my mom altered them for me but #1 and #5 are clearly on the bigger side now...<br />Angie, I almost sent the blue jacket back but in the last minute decided to treat myself to one fun peace this season BTW my first version on outfit #2 &nbsp;(with striped white/silver tee and mini-check trousers) was vetoed by my hubby so I had to change into jeans and white shirt. I think this blazer does requires a&nbsp;simpler background...<br />Katie, yes - this blue blazer is the one I tried in Toronto! The style and length got Angie's approval in Boston so I went for it :-)<br />Ornella, you are so right about mirror boost at work and about the shoes <br />:-(&nbsp;<br />Aida, I think black belt looked more streamlined and this appealed to me.&nbsp;<br />JenA, I did try the yellow jacket in Boston as they did not have blue in my size - just to show Angie the fit.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week/page/2#post-1251265 Wed, 14 May 2014 07:14:48 +0000 Asingh 1251265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, Sveta! The first one is my fav! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week/page/2#post-1250988 Wed, 14 May 2014 00:23:30 +0000 Windchime 1250988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad Kitty is home safe and sound! Once again, I'm finding inspiration in your outfits. You wear the Danier jacket fabulously and your blue blazer is gorgeous on you. I just got the same Gap marled sweater, in soft yellow. I love how you've styled yours. White ieans are high on my spring/summer shopping list. Good luck with the car hunt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1250984 Wed, 14 May 2014 00:20:03 +0000 Anonymous 1250984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad your kitty came home, Sveta! &nbsp;Naughty girl to worry you.</p> <p>I like the confident Katherine Hepburn vibe I get from these outfits. &nbsp;Out of this batch, #1 and #5 are my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1250983 Wed, 14 May 2014 00:19:11 +0000 JenA 1250983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow what a week. My heart starting racing when I read about your kitty. So glad that she came back. I'm sorry to hear about your car and work. I hope things get better next week.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your outfits are FAB. I love those maroon shoes peaking out of the grey pants. You look so strong and sophisticated&nbsp;in grey. My personal favs are #2 -&nbsp;I love that blue jacket on you&nbsp;(did you try it&nbsp;on in&nbsp;Boston or was it the yellow one?)&nbsp; and I love the red color with it&nbsp;and #5 - which is a beautiful, soft&nbsp;color on you.</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1250971 Wed, 14 May 2014 00:03:35 +0000 annagybe 1250971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1250962 Tue, 13 May 2014 23:54:47 +0000 Aida 1250962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear last week was a rough one! I'm sooo glad kitty came home, I don't know what I'd do if that happened to me (my cat is an indoor cat and has terrible instincts!). Hopefully with the car you can get something that you like beyond just what's purely functional; I don't know about you, but we spend a lot of time in the car so&nbsp;may as well have it look and feel good just like with clothes :)</p> <p>How interesting that you liked the black belt with #1! Perhaps because it echoes the top's stripes and lends a longer torso look? I quite like the light belt, it definitely shortens the torso and highlights the jacket hem. I really like #2, the pastel blue with the white and dark denim (hello, new BF!)&nbsp;is superb. Plus I do dig a good shoulder puff ^^ #3 goes from being moody to being graphic with the addition of the jacket, very nice. LOVE #4 and #5, everything about both outfits. Both tucked and untucked works in #5, they just have slightly different vibes; semi-tuck for a little whimsy, untucked for clean elegance. Those white BFs look so good on you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1250741 Tue, 13 May 2014 19:18:58 +0000 unfrumped 1250741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab! My Pleione blouse twin. I have not tried tucking it in--now am inspired to do so! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1250725 Tue, 13 May 2014 18:59:05 +0000 Thistle 1250725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Despite a week of adversity, you look fabulous.

But hey, you look good Very strong outfits, esp. the odd # pics. </p> <p>I *am* thinking with the blue Zara - the jacket provides mucho drama. So maybe I'd take away something - the red bag or stand up collar or fancy belt buckle...</p> <p>What kind of car are you thinking? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1250686 Tue, 13 May 2014 18:08:26 +0000 Ornella 1250686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowza... tall, dark and handsome the new BF is!</p> <p>Sveta, whatever is going on at work, you look smashing! It must give you a little boost at least when you look at yourself in the mirror ;-)</p> <p>Munro booties are amazing. I sometime think the fact you have it a bit harder than average woman to find the shoes had made you an excellent curator - you don't give in to temptation of buying anything just because it's the right size. You with for THE shoes.</p> <p>Outfit 5 is faint-alicious. In a good way.&nbsp;</p> <p>So were the news about the kitty, in a bad way&nbsp;- but all's well that ends well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1250643 Tue, 13 May 2014 17:15:16 +0000 doubleh 1250643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these looks! &nbsp;And&nbsp;I think you might be my body-type twin! &nbsp;Please keep up the WIW&nbsp;posting; if only for me. #5 is fave.</p> <p>Glad your kitty has returned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1250594 Tue, 13 May 2014 16:09:34 +0000 Ledonna N. 1250594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1&amp;2 are my favorites so glad kitty came back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1250557 Tue, 13 May 2014 15:48:09 +0000 Lisa 1250557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad kitty made it home safe and sound. <br />#1-fun bit of color with the shoes peeking out from a wide leg trouser.<br />#2-mixing tomato red and light blue, lovely together.&nbsp; I also think this blue jacket will work quite well with silver.<br />#3-the shoes and trousers pair so well together, it's one long line of color, nice!<br />#4-Another great mix of colors here.<br />#5-My favorite of the week, because of that peachy color.&nbsp; I like the top styled both ways.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1247819 Sat, 10 May 2014 15:53:49 +0000 Marmee 1247819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfits. You look amazing in all, but #4 and 5 are my favorites!

Didn't you try on the baby blue Zara blazer on the meetup? I remember us commenting how nice it looks on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1247778 Sat, 10 May 2014 15:19:58 +0000 Angie 1247778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Sveta. What a week. (((HUGS))). SOOO relieved that your kitty found her way back home. Best Mother's Day gift of all. Sorry about the rotten luck with the car.&nbsp;</p> <p>Despite the adversity, you look beautiful each day. My hat off to you.&nbsp;THRILLED you got the light blue jacket. Wooohoooo. #2 is killer - and #5 is my next best. Hang in there, gorgeous lady. xo</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1247775 Sat, 10 May 2014 15:15:03 +0000 Day Vies 1247775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a rough week! Sending you hugs. Bright spot #1 (Kitty, the only irreplaceable thing you mentioned, is safe!) Bright spot #2 you have fabulous taste in jackets. I am drooling over the Danier blazer in #1. So maybe missing out on the NAS isn't such a bad thing when you have wonderful pieces to work with already.<br />In all honesty I am just a Sveta fan I think you can do no wrong. I think of your general look as cool and no-nonsense. However I LOVE #2. (OK Blue is my favorite color but I have real reasons why #2 is my favorite) I like the fact that it's casual and playful yet very much you. It captures spring and yet has a perfect punch of color in the orange/red bag which I think is the PERFECT accessory for this look. Soon I will copy this look but in the mean time I will mark it as a favorite.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1247747 Sat, 10 May 2014 14:36:15 +0000 Suz 1247747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, what a week -- in more ways than one! I am so glad kitty came back. But sorry to hear about your car and all the additional expenses. Not to mention the work woes.&nbsp;What a shame.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look great in all your outfits. The blue jacket is super fun with the tomato bag. Love that the new oxfords came out to play.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1247737 Sat, 10 May 2014 14:25:17 +0000 jackiec 1247737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - love them all. I especially love how you have something unexpected and edgy in every outfit you wear. From the colour of the shoes, to the clutch, or the gathered shoulder of the blazer. Every outfit is special - and I need to study each one closely. You are one super stylish person </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1247674 Sat, 10 May 2014 12:33:22 +0000 Karie 1247674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad kitty has returned safe and sound! My Jasper was gone once for 1 1/2 days and it was awful, I had half the neighborhood out looking for him!</p> <p>Sveta, I know I've said this before but it's so true - you wear pants like no other. The fit and drape of your trousers is perfection. And I hear you about the gray shoes - I have a pair and it seems like I am always reaching for something with a fun/funkier edge.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's so hard for me to pick a favorite because I love them all - but I think my fav here is #4. I have yet to wear my KUT BF's this season - I wish the weather would cooperate for more than a few hours. I love how you've paired yours with the Gap sweater and red pumps. I like both untucked and semi tucked versions, but have a slight preference for it untucked.</p> <p>It may have been a hard week at work but it was a gorgeous week of outfits! Good luck car shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1247673 Sat, 10 May 2014 12:33:09 +0000 dustt 1247673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel for you on the crummy weather and car issues Sveta - the weather&nbsp;was bad here - except Thursday!! Playing dress up was your go to game instead - way to go!! </p> <p>red booties in the first outfit are brilliant!!</p> <p>red bag with the blue blazer - I never would have thought of it but it works really well. and I'm so sorry they were sold out of those oxfords in my size - I keep checking back!!</p> <p>I like the grey wedges with the red and peach - it allows those 2 pieces to take center stage and doesn't read safe at all!!</p> <p>white BF's - with the gap sweater. I much prefer the untucked because I like the detail of the hem slit. It looks lovely with your skin tone!!</p> <p>good luck with the car search!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1247672 Sat, 10 May 2014 12:31:02 +0000 Anonymous 1247672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit posts always delight me. I can't pick a favorite. The neutrals with the red booties look sleek and sophisticated in 1. You glow in light blue jacket and the silhouette is fun. In 3, I love the crossover blouse tucked and want to try that with mine.<br /> The blush/red in 4 looks delicious. I like the grey shoes and the way they go with your pewter bag but are a very different texture. And 5 is simple elegance. I like the sweater best semi-tucked for the nonchalance.<br /> Thank goodness kitty is ok and back home. You must have sick at heart with worry on top of everything at work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1247656 Sat, 10 May 2014 11:45:50 +0000 Anonymous 1247656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look good in all these outfits Sveta - as always!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1247645 Sat, 10 May 2014 11:05:20 +0000 Neelie 1247645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! &nbsp;#2 and #5 are my favourites. &nbsp;Good luck with the car replacement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-hard-week#post-1247643 Sat, 10 May 2014 10:59:31 +0000 Anonymous 1247643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Swoon!
