Love the look, you look super in olive and in a big graphic stripe.</p> <p>Re the shirt length, I think the tall would be a better length but I don't mind the sorta cropped look of this one. I thought it was tucked, too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-aida#post-1267126 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:50:15 +0000 lyn67 1267126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot believe you&nbsp;are wearing this ensemble first time? It's as simple, strong and appealing as Aida's was. I think half tuck could be also working, but love it as it is, too:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-aida#post-1267122 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 10:40:53 +0000 Mona 1267122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun copying another fabber!

Full stop.</p> <p>This is a wonderful example of how to take inspiration as opposed to doing a full-on copy, and how taking inpsiration can actually lead one to their own individual look (as opposed to just being derivative). I am very glad you shared!</p> <p>And, speaking of copying - where did you get that jacket? I've been on the hunt for an O.D. utility jacket for months, i love the color and cut of the one you're wearing. Any info you could share would be very welcome :)&nbsp; Happy Day! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-aida#post-1266434 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 15:57:25 +0000 Ornella 1266434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you&nbsp;*grinning from ear to ear*&nbsp;<br /><b><br />Angie</b> ::&nbsp;<span>It's regular top from Gap&nbsp;on long me, which I guess results in&nbsp;short top Same as in the middle of&nbsp;the&nbsp;first photo <b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/from-guidelines-to-pearfect-outfits">here</a></b>.<br />Good or bad?</span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-aida#post-1266390 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 15:07:40 +0000 Anonymous 1266390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-aida#post-1266389 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 15:04:21 +0000 Angie 1266389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super duper.&nbsp;Bold, yet simple for our wonderful Mrs. O.</p> <p>Did you fully tuck, or is that a short top?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-copying-aida#post-1266361 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 14:37:25 +0000 Kristin L 1266361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great interpretation of Aida's outfit.

I was only waiting for my chance to wear my interpretation of it.</p> <p>My adaptations:&nbsp;I wore flats instead of my wedge ankle strap&nbsp;shoes&nbsp;as the jeans is not exactly PPL and dark soles would stand out in an uncomfortable-to-me way. Also, I intentionally did not do semi-tuck as I thought with the detailing on the jacket there would be too much going on.</p> <p>All in all, for me this was hat-trick:&nbsp; </p> <ol> <li>Comfort factor: high.</li> <li>Happiness factor: high.</li> <li>Repeatability factor :-): high.</li> </ol> <p>What do you think?</p>
