I like how they're both gold (glamorous) but also leather (gritty) - perfect encapsulation of your moniker! </p> <p>Those little magnets are handy, aren't they? Have been using them in my scarves - especially my delicate silk ones, which I don't want to snag with a pin or brooch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burnout-velvet-on-a-rainy-day#post-2256278 Thu, 24 Mar 2022 12:16:33 +0000 RobinF 2256278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, love that top.

Often involves blowing bubbles on street corners… ahem </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burnout-velvet-on-a-rainy-day#post-2256201 Wed, 23 Mar 2022 17:46:30 +0000 Lana 2256201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, why did you have fear?

I took two magnets and put one under the blouse and folded it in the middle waist height to create a gather, then I put another magnet on top. Btw the magnets are tiny but incredibly strong. You could do this in the back, off center, a hair band or use a brooch, but I was afraid to put a pin in this fabric. </p> <p>I think this is a short term solution though, and I hope to get it altered. They don’t always stay in place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burnout-velvet-on-a-rainy-day#post-2256185 Wed, 23 Mar 2022 16:19:12 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2256185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been loving watching you embrace your new style monikers.

And clever idea about magnets…would you mind clarifying that if you have the time? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burnout-velvet-on-a-rainy-day#post-2256183 Wed, 23 Mar 2022 15:46:57 +0000 Lana 2256183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! I like to feel alluring but not too much. I’m glad it comes across that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burnout-velvet-on-a-rainy-day#post-2256182 Wed, 23 Mar 2022 15:42:04 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2256182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your looks are often a little sexy. Not in an overdone way, just in an “I haven’t forgotten about that part of life” way. I really like that, would like to do it myself. My looks are less grown-up than that usually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burnout-velvet-on-a-rainy-day#post-2256181 Wed, 23 Mar 2022 15:36:16 +0000 Lana 2256181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WIW today. Just got back from walking the dog in time to miss the rain. Wearing a burnout velvet top over a light blue cami, light wash jeans, light taupe leather high tops with white soles. </p> <p>I love this top, with its blue sheer background and velvet flowers that pick up the light as you move. It’s pretty shapeless so I used a couple of strong magnets one underneath and one on top to create some waist definition. I may take this to my alterations person and see if there’s a way to create some waist shaping with this delicate fabric. </p> <p> I started with a denim blue bag but felt like I needed more light so switched to the the lighter bag. Light blue leather cuff and light taupe leather leaf earrings for accessories.</p> <p>Edited to add: I think this top would look nice with my burgundy snakeskin booties for going out. (Note to self! ) </p>
