This is gorgeous. I think the scarf adds a really pretty touch to the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773756 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:52:15 +0000 Inge 773756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is FANTASTIC Diana!! This just works so well, WOW! I love the preppy vibe of the blazer (gorgeous by the way with that yellow piping) and white top paired with the playfulness of those sweet shorts and the slightly grungy boots. The scarf in the similar colour to your top is the perfect finishing touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773745 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:39:36 +0000 Diana 773745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! This was a really fun outfit to put together. </p> <p>Zap, I can't wait to see you rock your shorts!</p> <p>Rachy, I'm pretty sure citron/yellow isn't a great color for me either but I've decided it's awesome for accessories or accents (like the piping on this blazer). I'm still lusting after a neon necklace. Might have to pull the trigger on that. </p> <p>Shannon, this blazer has led me to the conclusion that I can in fact wear lighter greys. In fact, another grey blazer just might have come home with me yesterday... a lightweight wool Nanette Lepore, so a very different vibe than this one. </p> <p>Mochi, thanks for posting the inspiration! I actually wasn't sure how many copycat outfits I was going to do this week because I didn't have a lot in mind, and some that I liked would not have worked in this weather. Actually, I had to do this one today because it's supposed to get too cold for shorts after tonight... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773705 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 21:10:19 +0000 JR 773705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773596 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 18:47:14 +0000 Anonymous 773596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this, Diana! I like how you took the original and put your own spin on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773593 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 18:46:02 +0000 Mochi 773593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I really liked the original outfit so much, but I'm dying from the sheer fabness of your superior version! It's something that (at least I) would never have thought up, but it works so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773588 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 18:42:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 773588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omigosh - I love this and think it's better than the original! Those pieces all work brilliantly together Diana. I predict that blazer is going to be a major workhorse for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773560 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 18:24:08 +0000 rachylou 773560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, I love this! Love it! Makes me want to wear shorts and tights too.</p> <p>I think I look terrible in citron probably, but I don't care. It is the best color ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773525 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 17:38:42 +0000 TraceyLiz65 773525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this wonderful job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773497 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 17:18:09 +0000 Kristin SF 773497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great interpretation!!

This is killer in my book! Just love the subtlety that the trim on the blazer provides. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773393 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:47:28 +0000 modgrl 773393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I really love the top part of the outfit. I know you were going for a copycat look, but I think I would have preferred the shorts with more opaque hose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773379 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:36:43 +0000 Suz 773379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this, Diana. I may even like it more than the original! You look so terrific in those shorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773376 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:34:56 +0000 krishnidoux 773376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute. I prefer your version to the original. Boots are a focal point to the eye, and it's perfect that they should be black, laced and coming up on the calf. Low heel is also perfect. It makes for a very grounded outfit. You are so lucky to be able to work in an environment where hot pants are ok! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773375 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:33:41 +0000 Anonymous 773375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome! I need the shorts inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773372 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:27:50 +0000 bj1111 773372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this is one of my faves so far! i love seeing your legs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773371 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:27:32 +0000 Carole 773371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana, this is fantastic, I like your version so much more. This seems like it would be a difficult one to copy but you made it look so easy. This is a great look for you and seems very seasonally appropriate, good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copycat-challenge---thrown-together-grey-citron-black-and-white#post-773367 Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:19:06 +0000 Diana 773367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I've decided to copycat an inspiration pic that Mochi posted last week from Japanese Elle. I'm not really sure what I was thinking as this outfit contains light grey, white, and citron, which are all extremely underrepresented in my wardrobe (black is another story altogether). So, I had to improvise a bit and here is what I came up with. </p> <p>The bottom part of the outfit was a cinch. Black slouchy shorts, grey tights, black lace up boots. For the top, I knew I wanted to wear my Gap academy blazer, which is the perfect colors. I knew I wanted to make the whole outfit more sophisticated, so I chose a simple button-down (white with tiny green pinstripes). For the scarf, I looped up my cream summer scarf - hopefully it does not look too unseasonal! Since I was going to work, I needed to have a big bag, so I chose my structured tooled leather black bag. Finally, skipped the arm candy as I don't have anything right for this look.</p> <p>ETA: Outfit details - Gap Academy blazer, Theory shirt, BCBGeneration shorts, H&amp;M tights, DV boots, H&amp;M scarf, Maxx New York bag. </p>
