I also love the purple on you but not keen on the purse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-evolution-of-an-outfit#post-1000919 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 21:14:49 +0000 Hil 1000919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback! I must add more purple to my wardrobe... I really enjoy the colour. </p> <p>It was actually quite a good exercise to analyse how I dress in the morning. I now know and recognise when it time to go for a FFBO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-evolution-of-an-outfit#post-1000722 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 17:15:12 +0000 rachylou 1000722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you, and think I might prefer the more fitted look actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-evolution-of-an-outfit#post-1000649 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:36:16 +0000 Ornella 1000649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this silhouette on you, blazer + rolled jeans. The buckle adds some brightness to the outfit, and it's really refreshing. The bag is pretty, but to my eye maybe more suitable for spring/summer outfits.<br />Purple loves you, btw. And the necklace is adorable - perfect choice and looks like it was made with this top in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-evolution-of-an-outfit#post-1000643 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:30:37 +0000 Lisa 1000643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purple is lovely on you.&nbsp; Thanks for the outfit insight, I find that very helpful.&nbsp; I always start my outfits with one key item in mind I want to wear.&nbsp; Usually it's which topper (blazer, or cardigan, or a sweater) and then build from there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-evolution-of-an-outfit#post-1000517 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 11:48:39 +0000 Mona 1000517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit and I loved reading your thought process behind this. Your hair is so shiny and healthy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-evolution-of-an-outfit#post-1000506 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 11:14:00 +0000 Mochi 1000506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No no no, I really like this. It's a great silhouette, and the blazer is a bit oversized (or at least not too fitted)&nbsp;so works somewhat like an oversized top and&nbsp;balances everything out. It's a fresh, modern look and all aspects of it are interesting to me. I love the belt, and the purple stripes, and your hair and makeup are just icing on the cake. Please wear this again, and keep experimenting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-evolution-of-an-outfit#post-1000505 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 10:55:07 +0000 Hil 1000505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your honesty Rute... I am playing with the idea of this silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-evolution-of-an-outfit#post-1000474 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 07:36:16 +0000 rute 1000474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I confess I prefer your voluminous tops. Love the colors, but there is something about the jeans.. maybe it's the lenght.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-evolution-of-an-outfit#post-1000453 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 06:34:06 +0000 Hil 1000453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There was a blog post recently on how to build an outfit. I generally choose a key item that grabs my attention and then build the rest of the outfit evolves from there. Sometimes the inspiration happens the day or night before, but more often as I'm showering. Sometimes it only happens when I open the closet. And if nothing jumps out at me then it's time for a FFBO.</p> <p>Today's key item was the blazer. It got lots of love in the first few days after I bought it. I realised today they I hadn't worn it in a week or two so I decided it was time for another wear. </p> <p>The purple stripes came next as I pondered what I felt like wearing under the blazer. I didnt want to be as playful as a print tee but not as quiet as a plain black tank. And I thought the purple stripes were overdue some love.</p> <p>Finally the bottoms and the boots. I thought of how much I enjoyed the cropped, rolled boyfriend jeans and boots look that I wore a few days ago and decided they would be ideal. </p> <p>Accessories that followed were my usual watch and a string bracelet. This beaded necklace that my DD made me for Mother's Day caught my eye as I was leaving... I thought the colours were perfect. Oh and finally - the bag... I turfed my entire handbag out onto the bed in search of something and since it was empty, I felt it was time for a little change. I pulled out this rarely used little thing. It was a freebie with a makeup purchase from ages ago but I've always thought it cute so I decided to give it a day out. The pink and plum picks up on my stripey purple top. And it's tininess is practice for when I buy a clutch!</p> <p>So there you have my thought process. Did it work? </p>
