The silhouette of the shirt over the pencil skirt is fabulous! Great job taking the bombshell out of the pencil skirt; it's a beautiful look on you. I kind of want to try it now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defusing-that-bombshell#post-660449 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 00:18:41 +0000 Vicki 660449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, this is one of my faves of yours and I just did a copy shot for my YLF folder, which means I love it. I love that striped skirt. Like Aida, you're inspiring me to try my Nexx blouse with my black and white polka dot H&amp;M skirt and booties. I wouldn't have even thought about it, until you did this. You're amazing!</p> <p>As for the traveling cat photo bracelet, any time is cat time in my world, and I think this is such a fab and smart idea. I think, with everyone's DIY creativity here, we could open up an entire YLF Emporium at a place like the Ferry Bldg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defusing-that-bombshell#post-660437 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 00:09:52 +0000 Aida 660437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! This is how I like to wear my pencil skirts, too (and now you've got me wanting to try my avocado silk blouse with my black pencil....). I peeked at this fab outfit this morning, and was inspired to pair brown shoes with my black/white/violet outfit in your honor :D</p> <p>(I ADORE that DIY photo bracelet, soooo awesome!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defusing-that-bombshell#post-660308 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 20:04:18 +0000 Janet 660308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it all -- the blouse, the skirt...and your DIY kitty watch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defusing-that-bombshell#post-660285 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 19:26:59 +0000 Inge 660285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That striped skirt is just fantastic, and it looks gorgeous with your green silk shirt. Also: you rock the skirts/dresses + ankle/calf length boots, Rae, wow. The cat watch is very cool:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defusing-that-bombshell#post-660218 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 18:48:04 +0000 Jonesy 660218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello Nexx blouse with striped skirt!

You are sooo clever. And you look awsome, too.

That is the coolest DIY! You do a great job of defusing the bombshell. Nice mix of black and brown too! Whoa there--you got your bag at Goodwill and the boots at a swap meet? That's awesome! Great finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defusing-that-bombshell#post-660010 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 15:12:29 +0000 rachylou 660010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love your wrist locket. That's so clever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defusing-that-bombshell#post-660009 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 15:09:11 +0000 Abie 660009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic DIY!! Great outfit, I love that stripey skirt!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defusing-that-bombshell#post-660001 Tue, 03 Jul 2012 14:57:17 +0000 rae 660001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black with brown isn't everyone's favorite look, but I file it under the same category as wearing black with navy or white with cream. It looks a little softer and more natural to me, especially with brights. I shouldn't have worn my bag on my shoulder for this picture; the slouch is reading kind of sloppy... but I don't *think* it looks that bad in real life. </p> <p>DIY July continues with Day 2's handmade item: the flip-up cat watch. I found the face alone at a swap meet and picked it up for a buck or so. Then I cobbled together a leather strap from a broken belt and some rivets.
