I love this! Sal on "WIW: As the holidays come to a close" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-holidays-come-to-a-close#post-1433387 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 23:08:47 +0000 Sal 1433387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love both these looks Deborah.  I especially love the first one, it is so elegant, edgy and elongating. I think the black beads will get a lot of wear, you have a great jewelry collection that really adds to your look. Deborah on "WIW: As the holidays come to a close" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-holidays-come-to-a-close#post-1433369 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 22:33:08 +0000 Deborah 1433369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks  much, I really enjoyed wearing these outfits. Ruth, I have worn all four versions and I like them all equally.  Angie, yes I love knit fabrics. My most structured and woven garments would be my jackets/blazers, but it is likely that any future blazers will be knit.  I am looking at updating my jackets for autumn/winter and have already replaced two older ones with a new Metalicus knit jacket.  It looks tailored and semi structured but it's so comfortable with it's stretch and movement. rachylou on "WIW: As the holidays come to a close" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-holidays-come-to-a-close#post-1433291 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 19:17:36 +0000 rachylou 1433291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wicked is right (!)

Killer look, Debs. I love the addition of the white - and the black beads look fresh and fun on the white. The combination brings out your pretty eyes too.  And I only *just* realized that you are a knit-gal. You're wearing 3 knitted pieces here in both outfits - and I think all of them jersey. I never made that connection. xo lyn67 on "WIW: As the holidays come to a close" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-holidays-come-to-a-close#post-1433147 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 14:47:09 +0000 lyn67 1433147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The vest is really a great piece. Love the almost ankle length, and the front drapings. Love the white long, assimetric  tank underneath. The skirt, and thed the harem pants. And the new black glass beads. They all come together in a great and distinct artsy, dramatic with and edge style. Love!:-) Helena on "WIW: As the holidays come to a close" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-holidays-come-to-a-close#post-1433114 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 13:37:20 +0000 Helena 1433114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, what Rae said ... drama and elegance. Really gorgeous!

Thanks for the assist though, I may have to take you up on your offer Now if I could only get my hair to be as cool as yours...I have highlights on the sides that I'm thinking of coloring magenta (GASP!). I'm sure the moment I do it, I'll have to interview for a new job or something!  Deborah on "WIW: As the holidays come to a close" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-holidays-come-to-a-close#post-1432982 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 04:40:40 +0000 Deborah 1432982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Dashielle, we definitely share a love of a similar aesthetic :)  Metalicus does ship internationally and if you ever need any assistance, just let me know.  Between myself and Lyn D, I think we have tried on every piece in their current range lol. dashielle (Ann) on "WIW: As the holidays come to a close" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-holidays-come-to-a-close#post-1432979 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 04:33:57 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1432979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wicked you are, Deborah! I seriously share the love you have for the drapey, asymmetrical pieces (as evidenced by my dress today) and only wish we had access to Metalicus here! You look a treat and I can only imagine how you stand out in any situation when dressed as such. Serious envy here jackiec on "WIW: As the holidays come to a close" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-holidays-come-to-a-close#post-1432971 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 03:47:21 +0000 jackiec 1432971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What an amazing piece, that vest! Love it. Love all your looks. Wow; just outstanding! I would suggest what Elizabeth said...we've had a nasty winter virus circulating around here...kept DS1 out of school last week, DS2 out this week, and it's kept me pretty miserable but no sick days for mom.

Here is a picture of the best worn as a dress :)  It can be secured in a number of different places allowing for at least 4 different looks.  I figure that should ensure good cost per wear :) shipskitty on "WIW: As the holidays come to a close" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-holidays-come-to-a-close#post-1432943 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 03:02:12 +0000 shipskitty 1432943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the drapey look of the vest/dress in both outfits. You look sylish, casual and interesting. No suggestions for improvement here. If you do think of a good excuse let me know I am struggling to get back in the work-groove myself. Elizabeth P on "WIW: As the holidays come to a close" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-holidays-come-to-a-close#post-1432941 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 02:57:18 +0000 Elizabeth P 1432941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh my goodness, these are two wicked outfits. Queen of drape. No question. Have you shown us the vest worn as a dress? Love to see it if you haven't. Will pay more attention now I know. Cool piece. My dd, also 11, has been off school since Thursday with a nasty virus. Not how I suggest you wangle a few more days off :(. I hope my other dd doesn't get it! Or me for that matter. And there's probably no chance of a snow day, huh :).
