You look so not rumpled. Lol, says the perplexed innately RATE rachylou </p> <p>It also amazes me how much I like the plaid jeans on you and how much I hated them on myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others/page/2#post-1339833 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 23:36:33 +0000 Aida 1339833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, happy to help Your outfits make me happy, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others/page/2#post-1339827 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 23:29:57 +0000 Sveta 1339827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I always enjoy your detailed and thoughtful comments and usually go like: " Ah, this is why I like this outfit! Now when Aida explained it is perfectly clear to me!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others/page/2#post-1339821 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 23:17:48 +0000 Aida 1339821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh what fun, you had another fabulous week Sveta!</p> <p>LOVE #1, wow. The flats are superb with the outfit, and both the conventional and the rebellious side of me thinks so ^^ Also totally dig that oversized tan studded clutch.</p> <p>#2 is graphic fabness, the jacket length is great with the longer length top. (Actually, I want to steal every piece in this outfit!) The back looks especially dramatic with the shorter jacket IMO.</p> <p>Totally adore the pants in #3, your alterations were spot on. A slouchy blush look? Right up my alley. I quite like the gray satchel with this, for some reason it's unexpected but so perfect a pairing. Adding the faded biker jacket somehow makes it look even slouchier, even though normally a jacket adds structure. I like the look best without the jacket personally, but the jacket works nicely and that version looks good too.</p> <p>The idea of the top in #5 seems good, and the color looks like it'd especially pair well with those jeans, but hey if it's too fussy and feels unfab I'm glad it's out. Also, all of your looks with those jeans are making me extra itchy to pull mine out! But I keep reminding myself I'll have 6+ months to wear them, so I'm being good and enjoying my summer wardrobe while I still can. You're giving me lots of ideas!</p> <p>Going with the ink top in #6 was clever and looks very trendy to me with the pairing of the light-bordering-pastel blue blazer. That's how I plan to wear my dark colors this fall/winter, with pastels. The nude and natural sandals are a great foil to the dressy skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others/page/2#post-1339817 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 23:07:51 +0000 Sveta 1339817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies for the compliments - they made my day today (and yesterday)!<br />Colette, I would be happy if my outfit inspires you to wear yiur mesh sweater - and I hope to see it too!<br />Inge, this blush blouse is from Ann Taylor, not JCrew Adn you are right, these plaid skinnies are amazingly versatile!<br />Reneeb, unfortunately the silver flats are not the most comfortable shoes. They are OK but not stellar. :-(<br />Windchime, I wear a black wide belt with pants in #3: otherwise they won't stay in the place. Beacuse of the black colorblocked belt of the pants The only belt I like with them is black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others/page/2#post-1339756 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 21:03:29 +0000 CocoLion 1339756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the best sense of style Sveta. &nbsp;Everything is tip-top with just the right blend of polish and effortlessness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others/page/2#post-1339643 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 16:55:16 +0000 Missey 1339643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style has been hitting an all time high lately, I said "wow!" with every ensemble you posted!&nbsp; You are looking glamorous, chic, and naturally effortless in every outfit you have put together.&nbsp; Wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others/page/2#post-1339640 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 16:46:36 +0000 Tanya 1339640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such a wonderful style Sveta, all of these are amazing.&nbsp; The red and blue outfit is smashing, and something about #2 just speaks to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1339508 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 12:07:11 +0000 viva 1339508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I love your style in all of these pictures. So hard to pick a favorite but if I must, that last outfit is just amazing. Stunning and luxurious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1339505 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 12:00:56 +0000 Windchime 1339505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's always an inspiration to look through your chic and elegant outfit photos, Sveta. Great example of dark red and light blue in #1, and I'm filing away your smart idea to use your leopard print loafers to sync with the cognac belt.<br /> #2 looks smashing and very on trend.<br /> Ah, there are those wonderful pants again in #3. I love the sheer blouse with the black piping with those pants. Do you wear a belt with them or tuck into the waistband?<br /> #4 Too bad that pretty grey sweater isn't working IRL. But glad you're finding so many used for the plaid jeans. Great shoes too!<br /> I love your mixed blues in #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1339495 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 11:26:03 +0000 Karie 1339495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad about the sweater in #5 - that's one of my favorite outfits - but if you don't feel fab wearing it, then out it should go. Although I prefer the outfit in #3,&nbsp;I also really like the denim biker with the outfit in #4. And that dotty dress, oh that dotty dress is wonderful! Your rendition of Angie's dark red with blue formula is spot on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1339475 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 08:04:20 +0000 Ingunn 1339475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm amazed at your coherent and effortless style. Sveta. Never overdone or forced, always elegant and great looking. It's very hard to choose a favorite, but I think #1 and #5 are mine this time. The drape of the skirts, the silhouette, the colors - all gorgeous. I love your rendition of the dark red/light blue formula, so inspiring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1339450 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 05:33:14 +0000 catgirl 1339450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all knocking it out of the park.&nbsp; The plaid skinnies are wonderful on you.&nbsp; And the last outfit is like something from another era brought forward to today.&nbsp; I love it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1339449 Mon, 25 Aug 2014 05:26:25 +0000 Reneeb 1339449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow they are all lovely but 5/6 are stunning. I love all the outfits you have posted with the plaid skinnies. Are the silver flats comfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1339064 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 14:18:48 +0000 Inge 1339064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking exactly the same thing as Angie: your style quotient is through the roof, Sveta, and you look stunning, elegant and absolutely fantastic in all these outfits.</p> <p>The shorter length Zara jacket looks brilliant with the longer navy striped top (stunning). And the combination with the trousers is beautiful.</p> <p>I'm still so thrilled you kept the blush J.Crew shirt. It's fantastic on you, and looks beautiful with the tapered trousers (that was an excellent decision). Totally fab with the faded denim jacket too.</p> <p>And boy, you are really rocking those plaid skinny jeans!! They have turned out to be super versatile already, haven't they? I really love them with the white shirt under the mesh sweater, and the loafers are the perfect finishing touch. But good decision: if the sweater isn't working out for you, then out it goes;-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1339029 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 12:31:55 +0000 Colette 1339029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm very inspired by you.&nbsp;I was not loving dark red with light blue until I saw your first outfit.&nbsp;You look wonderful in all of your outfits!</p> <p>It's funny you mentioned you are giving away the mesh sweater from pic 5,&nbsp;because when I&nbsp;looked at your picture I thought that sweater looked great layered over&nbsp;the white shirt. (I was thinking I also have a mesh sweater that I have a difficult time styling and this may be my answer.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1339012 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:34:02 +0000 krishnidoux 1339012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My, are you ever so elegant!<br />My favorites: 2-3 and 6. Although they ALL look good.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1339001 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 11:19:25 +0000 Sveta 1339001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, the skirt is black and white and the tee is ink - it is hard to see dark colors well on the computer.<br />Aubergine and Shevia - thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1338891 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 02:09:29 +0000 Jaime 1338891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love #1 on you and the rest of the week is fab too. Light blue is an excellent color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1338772 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 21:42:02 +0000 Vicki 1338772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, you radiate elegance, no matter what you wear and this week certainly proves it!</p> <p>#1 Adding your leopard flats to Angie's dark red/light blue ensemble is brilliant.</p> <p>#2 This is a WOW for me; love that jacket on you.</p> <p>#3, 4 &amp; 5 I love blush and neutral colors on you so much, again, letting your radiance shine. &nbsp;I see why you don't want a topper as I like it that way, too, but A/C often dictates layering.</p> <p>#6 <i><b>A twist and a semi-tuck for structure!</b></i> &nbsp;I must try this excellent idea, Sveta. &nbsp;This is another favorite. &nbsp;Is this an ink skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1338716 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 19:42:59 +0000 Anonymous 1338716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits all around, but I especially like the first and the last. The dark red looks like it's just made for you, and something about that polka dot skirt is so playful and feminine.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1338704 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 19:20:01 +0000 Sveta 1338704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for you kind words!&nbsp;<br />Jules, I tried my silver pimps with this outfit but I liked the leopard loafers better for some reason - especially with this belt.<br />Suz, this is so true about purchase mistakes. I still love the color of this mesh sweater&nbsp;and how polka dots play against the white background but I am bot happy with the overall shape: too long and welt on the bottom does not have enough structure: I cannot pull it up. If I could shorten it it may be staying but it is impossible with sweaters...<br />Jjsloane, it is amazing. When I looked at the online picture of those plaid jeans I was sure it will not keep them - but they look amazing IRL and prove to be very versatile!<br />He-he Gracie, I did not match the lipstick really - this is the one I was able to find in the morning - &nbsp;but it must show how well this shade of red suits me :-)<br />Angie - thank you. You make me blush.&nbsp;You definitely should get credit for #1 with your blog post!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1338643 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 17:21:28 +0000 Angie 1338643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, each time you post - you look MORE elegant, beautiful, and stylish. Truly. And your poses are fabulous. I vote killer week.&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE #1. What a great take on yesterday's outfit formula. But I can't pick a fave. All so gorgeous. You shine from the inside out, Svetlana. xo</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1338593 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 15:29:13 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1338593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything you post! You have fantastic style and I enjoy how many different looks you can pull off while still looking completely you! Amazing... My personal favorite is #5. You and Suz are killing me with these pants. I would have never guessed how many choices there are for a pair of plaid pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1338592 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 15:24:41 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1338592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all Sveta but the last one is swoon worthy. &nbsp;I don't even know why I love it but have gone back to look at it a few times. &nbsp;Perhaps the ladylike skirt with the asymetrical jacket. &nbsp;Love it.</p> <p>The sheer top with the plaid skinnies is a close second for me. &nbsp;You look good in so many shapes and styles. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1338584 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 15:00:31 +0000 Anonymous 1338584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great -looking week you had! &nbsp;I love your closet - and how you use your clothes. &nbsp;What I like about this week is that every outfit is different, yet you. &nbsp; I am also sorry the Madewell sweater isn't right because it is such a cool piece and looks excellent with the plaid jeans. &nbsp;But I know how it is with growing sleeves and stretching and general knit misery :)</p> <p>I keep looking back at the photos and honestly cannot pick a favourite. You look proportioned, coloured and styled to perfection in each one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1338573 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 14:52:46 +0000 Gracie 1338573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow-wow-wow! All these outfits are beautiful on you. The red dress really suits your coloring and I can't get over how you matched your lipstick shade to the dress so beautifully - a very cohesive look with the surprise of the rebellious jacket. The white pants outfit leaves me speechless! The blush blouse has such beautiful piping details and drapes perfectly with the semi tuck, I like your bookending it with your pumps. I lust after your knit moto jacket every time I see it every time I see it I adore the mesh sweater! It immediately caught my eye as it provides a very interesting textural and color effect with your shirt... I wish you were keeping it, but if it "grows" and bothers you while wearing it, well then, parting with it is the right choice. The column of black pairing is also outstanding specially with the added drama of the blue jacket. You a're an inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-dark-red-with-light-blue-and-others#post-1338547 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 14:17:10 +0000 Carla 1338547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Sveta, you nailed the dark red/pale blue beautifully! Love #6 very much, but I have a sugar eye for this full skirt profile. The plaid jeans are so much fun and are turning out so versatile. Love your weekly WIW posts. </p>
