I think both necklaces work, but I have a slight preference for the pearls because they glow so nicely against the purple backdrop. I think the jeggings and boots totally work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290866 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 23:45:56 +0000 catgirl 290866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday! You look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290832 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:52:33 +0000 Inge 290832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same here, Julie, I never remember to include my handbags in my pictures. I wore my red structured handbag and added a black coat for outside.<br /> Chuffed that you love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290829 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:50:01 +0000 RoseandJoan 290829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a simply fab outfit! Love it, you always look refined. Did you carry a handbag Inge? I think that is the only accessory to add, I'm trying really hard to remember to photograph the arm candy when taking pictures. It does give a clearer perspective.</p> <p>All of the pearls work and I like your experiment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290822 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:32:00 +0000 Inge 290822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all the extra comments and suggestions, ladies. (still floating on air here;-)</p> <p>Aida: you certainly have a point there, my hair does add extra texture and interest. And I also added small pearl stud earrings (not pictured)<br /> Melissa: a ring would be lovely, yes. The thing is that I almost never wear them, I only have a few that I don't really like anymore. I think I need a fab pearl ring, in fact, I've been looking for one for some time now, but I'm so picky;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290446 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 06:26:59 +0000 AJ 290446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you look just lovely, Inge! The pearls just glow on top of the royal purple! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290432 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 06:07:14 +0000 Lena 290432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday, Inge!</p> <p>Such a great outfit all around. This shade of purple is stunning on you, and it looks terrific with white and black. I like either necklace combination, with slight preference for the longer ones. I think no.5 works great, too. You have lots of options here and can't go wrong </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290261 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 02:18:22 +0000 yublocka 290261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge you looked glorious on your birthday. Either necklace works for me, they are both gorgeous. Love the way you have knotted it though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290226 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 01:27:48 +0000 Aida 290226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the simplicity of the outfit as well, and I've a feeling that hair/make-up would be just the extra accessory you're thinking is missing from the photos (since we can't see it). Lovely! Hope you had a great day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290183 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:48:43 +0000 Lisa 290183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the simplicity of this outfit with the knotted pearls. The pendant is nice too. You can't go wrong with these variations here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290119 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 23:19:53 +0000 Melissa 290119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday! I hope you had a wonderful time. Your outfit is fantastic. The color really suits you, and the simplicity of the look has a very nice clean feeling to it. What about a ring to add a bit of color in another place? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290114 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 23:11:20 +0000 Louise 290114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooo I love these they all work x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290107 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 23:07:03 +0000 Inge 290107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm absolutely delighted that everyone loves the outfit as is! Thank you for all your comments and birthday wishes! I'm saving this thread for times when I need a confidence booster!</p> <p>Great to know that the jeggings + ankle boots work with the dress too. I'm definitely going to sport that look more often then.</p> <p>Lynne: no, my hair's been this short for quite some time now. It seems to fit my facial structure best...</p> <p>Angie: thank you again for all your lovely posture compliments, I'm chuffed to bits! I actually wore my black S&amp;K coat because the extra purple looked a bit off to me. And I paired it with my red bag. Quite a bright combination for me;-)</p> <p>Debora: how fun! Great minds think alike, right;-) I bet you looked stunning.</p> <p>April: grin:-)))</p> <p>Scarlet: oooh you need to get a pair of leggings, those poor dresses miss you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290073 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 22:07:34 +0000 Scarlet 290073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks wonderful, Inge. I totally get what you mean about the cold weather. I haven't worn a dress in months because I don't have any leggings, and it is just too cold! I think 4 works, by the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-290070 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 22:03:29 +0000 April 290070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

I love you in purple. You look so long and lean in your tunic and leggings. The pearls are perfect and I don't feel like anything is missing. Love it with the jeggings too. The colors work seamlessly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-289809 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 15:29:19 +0000 Queen Mum 289809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfit!

And I know that your dark boots bookend your hair perfectly :)</p> <p>I love the last outfit too! Perfectly fun and fab! I l adore the way the pearls contrast against the richness of the purple, Inge. Did you wear your purple coat and which bag? </p> <p>So glad that our wonderful posture role model is posting again (*happy sigh*). I spent two days with Inge in Belgium last year and she truly does have the best posture in the world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-289789 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 15:09:30 +0000 Lynne 289789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>beautiful - fwiw, 4 is my fave....have you had your hair cut shorter? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-289788 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 15:07:40 +0000 Isabel 289788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS !!!! What a great color . But most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-birthday-outfit#post-289781 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 14:53:01 +0000 Inge 289781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies,</p> <p>I promised you a picture of my birthday outfit (sorry about the no make-up and disheveled hair, I didn't go out like that;-), so here it is.<br /> - purple dress with epaulettes, Benetton<br /> - pearl necklace, Nordstrom<br /> - black boots, Frye (Rory)<br /> - black ponte knit leggings, H&amp;M</p> <p>I felt fabulous wearing it yesterday, but seeing the pictures now, I feel it looks a bit unfinished? Not polished enough?<br /> It didn't look bad with regular patterned hose, but it was just too cold for that.</p> <p>I tried two pearl necklaces with it, and in the end went with the double knotted one.</p> <p>The last picture is a little experiment. Do you think I can get away with wearing the dress like this? (blue jeggins and purple booties? Or do the proportions look off? I've never paired these booties with jeggings before, hence the question). </p>
