I am impressed. The hot pink and turqoise are your colors indeed. You also wear black so well. My favorite is maybe the black and lace in #5/7, but I have a hard time choosing. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise/page/2#post-1261187 Mon, 26 May 2014 03:19:42 +0000 rabbit 1261187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>LaCeleste, Cerinda,</b> and&nbsp;<b>Parsley</b> - I like the lacy black a lot too and will try pushing up the jacket sleeves next time. <br />&nbsp;<br />Aw <b>Angie</b> I'm honored &nbsp; I'll keep an eye out for a narrow belt. &nbsp; Glad that you see a common style thread.</p> <p><b>Aida</b> - thanks for sharing your wise eyes. &nbsp;I do think the skirt would be good with winter white, and will remember to show bare&nbsp;arms with jackets!</p> <p><b>dustt </b>- the hologram silver flats are Deena and Ozzy from UO - sold out now I think but&nbsp;I've seen similar silver flats without an ankle strap at Old Navy recently. &nbsp;The black boots are BC Footwear cub booties from Amazon, and the taupe booties are Clarks from a previous year, as are the gladiator sandals (those are actually a few years old). &nbsp;I'll definitely try the skater skirt in a summery version - I've been trying to find more cropped length top that works well with it. &nbsp;White + sandals is a good idea.</p> <p>Thanks<b> Ms.KatieKat</b> - I think some of the dreaminess is the great light that comes through into my living room (and the many, many dust motes, lol), but I do like wearing black with a historical/poetic/soft vibe as well as a contemporary one.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1261048 Mon, 26 May 2014 00:11:18 +0000 MsLuna 1261048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@rabbit: I really like the brighter, softer colours on you. For some reason it works well on your skintone. I also like the black outfits though - somehow you give it a sort of "dreamy" feel. Maybe your attitude/personality! I definitely encourage you to experiment with colours because YOU CAN ROCK IT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1261036 Sun, 25 May 2014 23:56:41 +0000 dustt 1261036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rabbit - these are all so good and all so different - I love that you are always switching it up and still keeping true to yourself. Really loving the turquoise on you. It's really good with your skin and hair!! and tell me more about the shoes in those outfits - they look so COOL!! </p> <p>I think the skater skirt works and I'd like to see it in a summery iteration - perhaps with those black gladiator sandals and some white?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1261034 Sun, 25 May 2014 23:49:30 +0000 Aida 1261034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure it's no surprise to hear that I enjoy seeing such a variety of looks; you definitely still have common elements threaded throughout. I hear you on taking queues from the weather, I do the same.&nbsp;The pink was such a surprise but I love the color for you, gorgeous! I agree with a thin white belt there to keep things lighter. I really like the draping in #2, and the jacket length totally works for me in a short-over-longer-over-long way (I tried that recently and enjoyed the look). You look just as good in turquoise, another gorgeous color on you! I don't think replacing the buttons is too much, those little details <i>are </i>important. The printed skirt in #4 looks like it'd be a 3-season skirt, spring/summer/fall, though I think it could be really fun paired with white winter pieces in winter. Love #5, especially without the jacket (looks good with it, but I wanna see those sleeves pushed up to add some of that skin exposure back in). Great print mix in #6! Dig those cool holo sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1261024 Sun, 25 May 2014 23:20:27 +0000 Parsley 1261024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great bunch of outfits! I love the variety here, from pretty in pink to edgy in black.<br />My very favorite of the bunch, in spite of all that I've said recently about being over black, is the leather and lace one. Go figure!<br />I love the outfit without the jacket, but if you're cool and need a topper I can't think of a better one than the black leather. You look fabulous in black!<br />Actually, you look fabulous in all of these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1261020 Sun, 25 May 2014 23:04:53 +0000 Cerinda 1261020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the contrast of leather and lace!

You are very fab. xo</p> <p><div><br /></div><div>And your style is soooo fun. Just look at you in that pink frock. (A skinny white belt is a good idea). And the rest of the week was a mixture of soft and hard edge - but all quite arty, eclectic and creative - which is a common thread running through your style. There’s the occasional dose of humour too. I can’t pick a favourite. You rock it all with panache. xo</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260875 Sun, 25 May 2014 17:14:12 +0000 LACeleste 1260875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous Rabbit! &nbsp;I love all your looks here but am partial to Lacey Black. &nbsp;You also wear turquoise so well. &nbsp;I really enjoyed this series and am inspired. &nbsp;Thank you for sharing your cool style and artist's eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260858 Sun, 25 May 2014 16:44:02 +0000 rabbit 1260858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much <b>rute</b>!</p> <p><b>kkards</b> and&nbsp;<b>Ms.KatieKat</b> - wearing brighter colors is pretty new for me - black has always been my fallback, but I'm enjoying mixing it up.</p> <p><b>Neel</b> - that pink&nbsp;dress is so fun to walk in, the swishy hem kind of spins out around your calves when you walk as the fabric is a little heavy.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>TraceyLiz65 </b>- it's a little schizophrenic seasonally, &nbsp;but I don't see many of the same people day to day and am happy to use cloud-cover as a indicator of how to dress ;). &nbsp;I really like how you embrace a diverse range of looks but your sense of color, pattern, and proportion makes them largely cohesive with one another&nbsp;and puts your personal stamp on them. &nbsp;I'm trying for something similar.</p> <p><b>Aubergine</b> - thanks! &nbsp;I've discovered putting up my hair can sometimes help&nbsp;when I'm wearing higher collars, which shorten my neck -- but it can go either way with lower necklines.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260850 Sun, 25 May 2014 16:23:49 +0000 Anonymous 1260850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these all!

I really love the style/mood mixing as it really changes thing up! Pink and turquoise are BEAUTIFUL colours on you and I can see that you like turquoise as well as you have 3-4 outfits in the colour. What I'm a huge fan of, though are your moody black outfits like the ones in 2,4 and 5! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260706 Sun, 25 May 2014 06:51:51 +0000 rute 1260706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing!

The top has enough shape to it and I think it draws the eye upward, while the straight skirt has a nice pattern without standing out too much. &nbsp;It's a great outfit, IMO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260644 Sun, 25 May 2014 03:52:07 +0000 Gigi 1260644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another set of gorgeous outfits, rabbit! You are very much an artist.</p> <p>I think that a slimmer belt might look better in the first outfit. Right now the belt seems to be the center of attention, and I wonder if a slimmer belt might create a more balanced outfit.</p> <p>I don't have any problems with the jacket length in the second outfit. I think that because the entire outfit is black, the length isn't as important (?).&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think that the leather jacket is too heavy for the lacy skirt.</p> <p>As for replacing buttons, I wasn't quite sure which tops you meant. Is it the drapey top in #2, with the three shiny buttons? It's not obsessive to want to change buttons, but I kind of liked the shine in outfit #2. I felt like it gave my eyes something to rest on in the large area of black.</p> <p>I love the color of the turquoise on you. And you wear black so well! Excellent job with layering. My fave outfits were the second one (all black) and the turquoise maxi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260586 Sun, 25 May 2014 02:54:46 +0000 ManidipaM 1260586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a flawlessly fabulous week you have had, rabbit! I am bowled over. cannot choose favourites, though I lingered over the FFBO in #2 -- such beautiful layering!</p> <p>I think there is a certain coherence in colour depth/intensity, as well as fluid, soft fabrications in your 'capsule'. Visually v coherent, vs your description! </p> <p>I actually don't find the skirt too casual summer but this may be because I am used to similar patterns in formal contexts in India. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260584 Sun, 25 May 2014 02:54:06 +0000 Anonymous 1260584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I have only just started looking at your WIW's but they are stunning. You look really, really good in black (lucky you!!) and equally well in the bright pink and turquoise. You layer the drapey tops so well. And no, I don't think the jacket in 7 is too heavy for the (leather?) skirt. Very well done! Oh, and replace the buttons if that would make you happier--or paint them with black nail polish.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260576 Sun, 25 May 2014 02:49:41 +0000 Peri 1260576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I've decided...I love the black lace skirt set the best. I was calling this 5 but just noticed you called it 7. And then I think I've switched second favorite to set #3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260567 Sun, 25 May 2014 02:43:33 +0000 rabbit 1260567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>pil </b>and <b>Firecracker</b> - what a great idea to scrunch the jacket sleeves, why did I never think of that! &nbsp; In the mixed media jacket (leggings outfits)&nbsp;it works great. &nbsp;The leather jacket it will work if I unzip the cuffs and turn them, need to play with that some more.</p> <p><b>fuzzylogic</b> - I like your boho idea for the pink dress. &nbsp;Got to try that with tan leather (goes to closet...) &nbsp;I have the straw hat! &nbsp;and some potential sandals...</p> <p><b>Firecracker</b> - I'm totally going to cut off those buttons, they do nothing, and might sew the top of the&nbsp;'henly' gap at the neck closed - right now I wear a cami just to cover that part. &nbsp;Great idea.</p> <p>Thanks <b>Peri</b> and<b> jackiec</b>! &nbsp;Good to know which outfits are favorites :)</p> <p><b>shevia</b>, thanks! - yeah I realize by posting a lot at once (when I have camera access) it gets a bit confusing unfortunately. &nbsp; &nbsp;But I can follow feedback without numbers (which I can't remember either ) just&nbsp;fine, appreciated.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260558 Sun, 25 May 2014 02:37:54 +0000 Jaime 1260558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! Matching the outfits with the numbers seems to be to much for my early morning brain,&nbsp;but my favorites are the one with the tube skirt, the one with the mixed media or leather jacket with olive tunic, and the lacey skirt with the sleeveless top - the jacket looks good but maybe a bit heavy as you say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260554 Sun, 25 May 2014 02:30:19 +0000 jackiec 1260554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look marvelous in all the shots! You are fantastically creative to come up with your layers and combinations. I love them all. My fav is group 3 with the tourquoises. Your FFBO's are all perfection as well. They are all fab!! I love looking at your outfits - and have to go back and study them a little more closely - so so so well done. Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260553 Sun, 25 May 2014 02:29:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1260553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of these outfits, Rabbit. Definitely keepers worth repeating.</p> <p>I do not think it's obsessive to change the buttons on the tops. Darker buttons will make the tops more versatile, in my opinion. Do you even need the buttons? Are they functional? If not, you could just leave them off. In outfit 2, where you asked about the jacket length, I had the feeling the jacket hem was fighting with the drapey pockets. Then on #5 (same jacket and same style top, right?) I was not bothered by the drapey pockets peeking out from under the jacket. I think the difference is that in #2 the buttons on the top are exposed and in #5, the jacket is closed over the top front, hiding the buttons. Hence, my thoughts on the buttons complicating things a bit. </p> <p>I love your pattern-mixing in 6, especially with those fab metallic shoes! I like your other styling with that skirt, too. And I like the leather jacket with the lace in #7. The leather jacket and sandals are an unexpected combination that I like. I don't know if you can scrunch the sleeves, but I think that would look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-batting-for-team-pretty-team-darkedge-and-team-tourquoise#post-1260536 Sun, 25 May 2014 02:04:51 +0000 fuzzylogic 1260536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy smokes, rabbit! You have found your stride! These are all fabulous!!!<br /> I love your moody black outfits and you look so elegant in the turquoise maxi! Too obsessive about buttons? No way! It's all in the detail!<br /> #1 warm weather swooshiness! If you are after a more relaxed boho vibe you could try this dress with light tan/rope shoes and belt. And maybe a straw bag or hat!<br /> #3 looks great- I don't think there's too much knit here. You have contrasted the knit with the leather sandals and bag!<br /> #7 I think leather/lace looks great! Elegant rock-chic! </p>
