Sometimes you just want a day of head to toe neutrals. And you have interesting shapes here, especially with those trousers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-587113 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 04:20:00 +0000 catgirl 587113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I actually FELT great in this but wasn't sure of the look and the proportions... Will do a revised version to see if I can spring-ify it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-587026 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 02:44:44 +0000 Mo 587026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would like a slightly UWP belt with this to jazz it up, but it's definitely not a 'miss'. Maybe just doesn't feel as true to the core you that you wish to present? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586998 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 01:45:10 +0000 taylor 586998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Major Mojo going on!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586990 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 01:39:31 +0000 Angie 586990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a straight shooter, Una. This outfit *is* a 10 without even trying. </p> <p>Great fits - clean lines - flattering proportions - attractive colours - the right amount of trend with the classics - long leg line - no nonsense - not trying to be too clever - a good amount of *cool* - authoritative but fun - interesting - quite polished...(Yes! You might need to live with that Madame RATE:)) </p> <p>Can't be more succinct than that. Rock on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586986 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 01:28:22 +0000 catgirl 586986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie! If I didn't know you, I would be asking if that was a mercy K-rating... thank you SO much!</p> <p>Now I need to know WHY! Because I don't know, other than that I like it. Jacket not too big/boxy/dark for the outfit? </p> <p>These pants will be seeing a lot more action now that they fit. I am going to look for inspiration on what tops to pair with a slouchy drop-crotch trouser! I'm thinking a cropped fitted black suit jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586947 Wed, 04 Apr 2012 00:42:38 +0000 Angie 586947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>Onto the next outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586755 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 21:15:29 +0000 catgirl 586755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies. Love you all for putting up with me!</p> <p>bj1111, I WISH! I am pretty sure a shredded leather jacket is not going to go over well. As far as other issues, hmmm.... midlife crisis, perhaps? Nothing is scaring away business, actually - I'm swamped and overwhelmed with work, which is part of the reason I need to step up the dressy factor and also the reason I'm unable to concentrate on wardrobe issues.</p> <p>Jonesy, thanks for the compliment on the pants! I got them a year and a half ago on final sale (they are some fancy brand from shopbop) but then gained weight. They finally fit again and thankfully still seem to be on trend.</p> <p>The RL jacket is one I've had forever. It has a covered placket so to be honest, I sometimes wear it buttoned up like it's a shirt. There's something I like about the fit.</p> <p>I tried this without a jacket, but the neck of the top is very open and needed to be anchored to keep from sliding around my shoulders... fashion tape?</p> <p>Agree it's a dark color palette and could use some color. Probably reflecting my current mood about getting dressed.</p> <p>Can you see the shadow of Kona's ears in the sun behind me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586717 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 20:31:21 +0000 bj1111 586717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>why not swap you blush leather moto for the brown jacket?</p> <p>also, i'm not sure that your regular clothes are,scaring away business? has someone told you so? is there something els going on? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586712 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 20:22:31 +0000 Vildy 586712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My preference for me is to show more bodice but I think your outfit, with the jacket that doesn't deign to show much shirt, looks incredibly hip. On me, frumpy. On you, cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586695 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:54:12 +0000 Jonesy 586695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, these pants are GORGEOUS on you!! They are an 11! And you're saying that they have a tuxedo stripe?! How fabulous! I adore the pants with the shoes! You should wear these pants at least once a week! Overall, the outfit is fab. If I am being nitpicky, I would say that replacing that particular jacket would up the style ante even more (less brown, two button or one button stance, vs. three button), but I think it works just fine. I like the color palette a lot.</p> <p>I think you are being too hard on yourself, Ms. Una :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586661 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:13:24 +0000 kellygirl 586661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I really like this, Una. I think the only missing signature element is some color. I don't recall seeing you in brown before--it's softer than black, definitely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586654 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:10:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 586654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like it just the way it is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586646 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:08:50 +0000 Kirti 586646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, although I agree that I'd love to see a more open blazer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586637 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:02:24 +0000 RoseandJoan 586637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. I would wear this look from top to toe but I think my style is softer than yours Una, how do you feel in a softer silhouette and colour palette? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586635 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:01:31 +0000 Diana 586635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I really like this outfit concept but I agree with the other ladies that the blazer seems a little too covered up and boxy. I think either a blazer with a deeper neckline or a more shrunken fit would be better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586631 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:55:39 +0000 texstyle 586631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a bracelet that has the blue color from the blouse in it by chance? That would help "pull" the color out. The slacks are great if you're going for slouchy. I never really wear slouchy or pleated pants so I'm not a great reference for those. Overall it looks good but the jacket could be a bit more fitted in the waist if I were being picky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586589 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:11:36 +0000 ManidipaM 586589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like I want to see more of the blouse --- but possibly one does, in real life, while you move around and the topper is unbuttoned? That's my only critique really. </p> <p>Beyond that, if it jibes with your style, I might consider adding a cuff or something in the line of UWP wristwatch or jewellery (or sunglasses). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586586 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:10:03 +0000 HelenInCanada 586586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this silhouette alot. Not frumpy or a mess at all. It's definitely a bit on the sombre side, colour wise with the earth tones, but your hair and the blouse inside perk those shades up! Maybe add a bold coloured watch or bangle? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586584 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:08:42 +0000 cciele 586584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the slouchy trousers and how the oxfords and jacket echo each other colorwise. But I agree about colors on the top -- would love to see more of the blue. I can't quite articulate how the colors for the jacket, pants, and shoes aren't cohering for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586579 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:05:11 +0000 jayne 586579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, me likey! I assume when you move the top shows so I think it looks perfect UWP. Perfect slouchy slacks. Awesome structured jacket. Cool shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586564 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:48:48 +0000 Isabel 586564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something like this over long sleeves ?</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/elizabeth-and-james-woven-vest/3269183" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/el.....st/3269183</a>?</p> <p>From afar this looks like ombre, kinda...</p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?navAction=jump&#038;id=24473068&#038;parentid=SEARCH_RESULTS" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....CH_RESULTS</a><br /> origin=keywordsearch&amp;resultback=800</p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/baynote/22778328.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....778328.jsp</a></p> <p>would you evah wear ruffles on leather ( down the placket...bad ass in the back ).</p> <p><a href="http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=39&#038;pageId=1&#038;productId=570027855&#038;viewAll=&#038;prd=Leather+Blazer&#038;subCatId=&#038;color=001&#038;fromSearch=true&#038;inSeam=&#038;posId=14&#038;catId=&#038;cat=&#038;onSale=&#038;colorFamily=&#038;maxPg=3&#038;size=" rel="nofollow">http://www.whitehouseblackmark.....#038;size=</a></p> <p>I love this, without the big bow...I could see it with allot of your stuff:</p> <p><a href="http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=39&#038;pageId=1&#038;productId=570037768&#038;viewAll=&#038;prd=MilitaryInspired+Jacket&#038;subCatId=&#038;color=048&#038;fromSearch=true&#038;inSeam=&#038;posId=13&#038;catId=&#038;cat=&#038;onSale=&#038;colorFamily=&#038;maxPg=3&#038;size=" rel="nofollow">http://www.whitehouseblackmark.....#038;size=</a></p> <p>Something like this, because of the lack of hardwear would be great. You could wear a dress, a skirt, more tailored pants and still look very appropriate. If you wanted to throw on a more conventional blazer for court, toss this in the office and have a court blazer ready to go !

Have you ever tried vests ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586551 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:36:38 +0000 christieanne 586551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I might it better with a little more color on top - the blazer is hiding the pretty blouse. Plus it is a bit boxy on you - it's the high lapel RL does so well. I have one of those and it's definitely a "low contrast" bullet proof type of jacket. </p> <p>That said, the pants and top and shoes are very UWP and Office wear. I just think you need a softer blazer to carry the look through </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-another-miss#post-586543 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 17:30:13 +0000 catgirl 586543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Attempting to get my mojo back... Old Ralph Lauren blazer, old slouchy pants with tuxedo stripe (that fit me again after a year or so), F21 floral silk blouse (tan, grey and blue), Crown Vintage two-tone oxfords. </p> <p>Frumpy? Mismatched? Just plain off? Don't hold back if you think this is a mess! </p>
