I was worried it was all "been there, done that" looking. I adore glam - I find it's in just about everything I do.&nbsp;Even if I'm drowning&nbsp;in bohemian styles, I find a way to insert some amount of&nbsp;glamour. &nbsp;I think I just like shiny. If I could, I'd wear glitter on my cheeks like a teen transported from the 1990s! HA!<div><br /></div><div><b>Celeste</b> &nbsp;that is most fair of you. (I don't have any courage to show my messy kitchen right now, that's for sure!!)&nbsp;You are absolutely gorgeous!&nbsp;I have always swooned over red hair, and yours is perfection. I think red hair deserves to be a bit wild, like Merida in Disney's "Brave."&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-emerald-spearmint-satin-denim#post-1307246 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:50:41 +0000 LACeleste 1307246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Keturah,<br />I truly do not see generic. Just awesome.<br />I am very camera shy but admire all the members who put themselves out there. &nbsp;In the spirit of fair play,&nbsp;here is a pic of my messy hair in my messy kitchen! &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-emerald-spearmint-satin-denim#post-1307241 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:45:57 +0000 Suz 1307241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty! Love the colour of the blouse on you. And this outfit includes a bit of the "glam" that was your old love. A perfect juxtaposition.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-emerald-spearmint-satin-denim#post-1307227 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:37:00 +0000 Keturah 1307227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Alana</b> thank you so much! The shoes...I &nbsp;couldn't leave the store without them. They are a bit wobbly -- almost a 5" heel with a 1-1/5" platform. But I do love them, and for short periods of time I totter about in them without much pain&nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-emerald-spearmint-satin-denim#post-1307207 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:22:37 +0000 Keturah 1307207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Celeste</b> thank you darling&nbsp;&lt;3 We do speak the same language!&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>In some ways I feel the overall look is a bit "generic." (I mean, have you seen Pinterest with the 1mil+ ladies in jeans/shorts, heels, and blouse? I think we need a new fashion label: the Pinterest look.) But that's why I wanted a lot of contrast.&nbsp;I didn't want it too polished or preppy, and nothing cutesy.<div><br /></div><div>Where are photos of you and your hair??? We need a YLF curly hair club here, me thinks :)&nbsp;<br /></div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-emerald-spearmint-satin-denim#post-1307199 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:15:59 +0000 Alana in Canada 1307199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your juxtaposition! I covet those shoes. What a find! Your hair is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-emerald-spearmint-satin-denim#post-1307165 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 16:33:03 +0000 LACeleste 1307165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go with the juxto! Such a great look Keturah! &nbsp;You did a great DIY job on those shorts and the blouse color is wonderful on you! &nbsp;I am a big fan of that neckline too! &nbsp;Sales and vintage estate purchases. &nbsp;Woman--you are speaking my language!<br />PS: As a fellow member of curly/wavy (wild?)&nbsp;hair club, your hair is very pretty. &nbsp;I know how you feel when you need a cut but it still looks great!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-emerald-spearmint-satin-denim#post-1307124 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 15:41:27 +0000 Keturah 1307124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't worn this particular look for a few weeks, so time to pull it out while I still have some summer left in the mountains!</p> <div><br /></div><div>I don't even know what to call this look. Urban? Euro Chic?&nbsp;It's not my usual bohemian look -- more the modern&nbsp;(almost Pinterest, if you will) look I like to switch to, just to give myself a break from my usual mix of bohemian. Though, I suppose with the jorts, it still has a bit of bohemian edge.&nbsp;</div><div><br />Mostly, I was craving&nbsp;contrast, juxtaposition, and&nbsp;color! Emerald and spearmint. Distressed cutoffs with satin heels and blouse. I half-tucked the blouse to pare down the volume and give shape. I made the jorts from an old pair of too-large Gap skinny jeans. (Who knew a serrated knife and super heavy grit&nbsp;&nbsp;sandpaper could work so much magic?) They are my summer wildcard!</div><div><br /></div><div>The heels were my glorious sale find -- $16 for&nbsp;satin and patent leather heels. I've worn them several times because they make me so, so happy! Makeup is restrained smokey eye with rose-beige glossy lip. Please ignore the hair; I need a haircut and my hair was still damp, so it looks rather straggly. </p> <p> </div><div>heels: Guess<br />jorts: self-made distress cutoffs<br />blouse: thrifted Dana Buchman<br />bracelet: vintage estate, snagged from a roommates "goodwill" pile </p> <p> </div></p>
