Maybe we will be lucky like last year when it did not really fall until January - or unlucky like several years ago when we got the first foot of snow in the end of October.<br />Lantana, I have discovered this summer that I like white with tan/taupe/nude very much.<br />Angie, I hear you on the jacket. Actually it was this tux which helped me to make my mind about the navy blazer: I liked it well enough but then I would put the tux on and there is no comparison! On the bright note this tux is by BR as well so there is hope...:-)<br />Una, the booties are reddish purple more that burgundy although it may be a fine line between both of them...<br />Vicki, the funny thing is that the belt in #1 is silver but it does look gold I the picture- I guess it reflecting the yellow-orange of the deck I wished I have worn gold though. Next time... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045638 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 19:12:31 +0000 Vicki 1045638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, what a brilliant shout out to your summer!</p> <p>I loved seeing your gold belt here, as Angie wore a gold belt last week with her Kut jeans and I've been wanting to do this, too.</p> <p>We are Pleione red and black twins and I'm so happy to see your stylings here. &nbsp;Why didn't I think of white!</p> <p>You know what? &nbsp;I love #7, because of the way you've brought white into your autumn days. &nbsp;This one is one of my favorites as you blend light and dark tone. &nbsp;There's no way you can do a faux pas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045635 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 19:09:18 +0000 lyn67 1045635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderfull farewell to summer, Sveta!

Your style is absolutely stellar at the moment Sveta. Each look is stunning. Soft tone, dramatic tones, texture, fluidity. It's all there. Adding this to favourites </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045515 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 16:04:00 +0000 JAileen 1045515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The expression "You look fab" was made for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045510 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 15:58:46 +0000 Susie 1045510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't choose a favorite because they all look fab. You really do have such flair, Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045501 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 15:53:12 +0000 jurocha 1045501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock white pants. I love all outfits, but #2 and #6 are deserve a special mention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045498 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 15:50:27 +0000 celia 1045498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A perfect week as always.My favourites are the one with the pleione blouse(gorgeous on you) and #7.<br />You are a very glamorous dresser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045483 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 15:02:34 +0000 Day Vies 1045483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 &amp; #2 are my absolute favorites! Just elegant, simple and chic. Summer is hanging around in my area too, but I am really ready to move on to my fall wardrobe. Thanks for the post this gives me the shot in the arm (of inspiration) that I need to push through these last few warm days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045469 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 14:12:54 +0000 Angie 1045469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer week. Sveta owns her look and it's 100% inspirational.</p> <p>Sveta, I see you in&nbsp;blazer&nbsp;#3 and it's just <b>so perfect.</b> I love that length and cut on you. Thoroughly modern and with just the right amount of swagger. My best.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045453 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 13:26:29 +0000 Lantana 1045453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for posting these Sveta. I am taking careful note of the pants length in #1. This is how I need to wear my cropped white jeans.<br /> The taupe and white is divine, my favourite of all these fab looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045414 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 12:20:31 +0000 amiable 1045414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa - the white with burgundy is amazing! &nbsp;I'll be copying that idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045411 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 12:02:46 +0000 deb 1045411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all but #7 is absolutely fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045404 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 11:13:33 +0000 Jjsloane 1045404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great week. I particularly love 1, 2 and 7. The soft neutrals of 2 and the fluid are just gorgeous.&nbsp;I like 5-6 best with the cardi - it really does work.<br />The deck is looking great - your hard work is paying off.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045397 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 10:56:41 +0000 Anonymous 1045397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045374 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 09:30:12 +0000 Lyn D. 1045374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your leather jacket in #7 is striking! It looks as soft as suiting material, and is beautiful with the shades of purple.<br />Your deck looks great- will it actually be covered in snow in soon? Hard to imagine being used to our mild Aussie Winters! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045370 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 08:52:31 +0000 Deborah 1045370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All gorgeous, but #7 knocked my socks off:) &nbsp;I just love the proportions of this outfit. &nbsp;I have a quiet evening at home with DH out so I think I may have to have a play and see if I can replicate this:) &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045346 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 05:50:15 +0000 Adelfa 1045346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are the queen of long and fluid. I get to enjoy it on you because I will never be long! Your lines just go on and on and it's beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045339 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 05:39:51 +0000 Suz 1045339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As usual, you look amazing in every one! I think my favourite is #2, but #3 is a close second -- no faux pas in sight! Your hair is dark enough to provide cohesion for the black jacket. Lucky you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Animal print and red definitely not too much (to my eye) in 5/6. And the last one works, too, to my eye. It's all about balancing visual weights somehow, and you have done it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045336 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 05:20:09 +0000 Amy 1045336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, each and every one is elegant and perfect down to the smallest details. I'm in awe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045307 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 03:43:59 +0000 Karie 1045307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! You wear pants like no one else. Nice deck too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045289 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 03:09:16 +0000 annagybe 1045289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A seriously great week. Wow! Nicely done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-farewell-to-summer-1#post-1045284 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 02:54:13 +0000 Sveta 1045284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The summer is over but still&nbsp;lingers so I tried to wear my summer pieces just a bit more this week before I put them away until the spring.</p> <p><b>pic 1 </b>Very simple almost white outfit. After I left the house I wished to change the belt from silver to gold to play better with the gold buckles on the shoes and the warm color of the tote...too late but a mental note for the next time!&nbsp;<br />Kut BF jeans - Nordstrom<br />BR striped sweater<br />Me too red patent pumps - Nordstrom<br />Silver belt from the discounts store<br />"Monty cousin" tote from Winners</p> <p><b>pic 2 </b>This outfit was inspired by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/blog/page/3/">Angie's post from last week on bootcuts and fluid knitwear</a>&nbsp;I am not sure if this mesh sweater is fluid enough for this look but I tried anyway. I only wish it was a bit shorter or the shirt was a bit longer for shirt ends to be exposed...<br />Foxcroft shirt - Nordstrom<br />Taupe mesh sweater - Madewell<br />Editor white trousers - Express<br />David Tate animal print booties<br />Nude clutch from Portugal</p> <p><b>pic 3 - 4&nbsp;</b>Another take on Angie's post but with fluid fit blouse rather than knitwear. I was not sure if this black tux makes the outfit "top heavy" but looking at the pictures I think it works.&nbsp;Actually I think it was my favorite from this week! It may have been a faux pas to wear the same pants twice in a row &nbsp;but they promised rain for the whole week starting the next day so wore them while I could!<br />Note that I used color repetition but not color bookending here! :-)<br />Pleione blouse - NAS<br />BR tuxedo jacket<br />Editor white trousers - Express<br />Pos Hommerson bone slingbacks<br />Nude clutch from Portugal</p> <p><b>pic 5-6</b> Long shorts again before I store them away! I needed a topper but none of my jackets seems to work for some reason so I decided to go with BF cardi because I was running late for work. This is so unusual for me to prefer a cardigan to a jacket!&nbsp;I got a subtle pattern mix here with micro stripes of the cardigan and micro-check of the shorts. Some bright red and animal print to liven the black / white outfit - or was it too much?<br />Silk shirt - Club Monaco<br />Halogen striped BF cardigan - Nordstrom<br />Micro-check long shorts - Winners<br />Vince Camuto slipper flats - NAS<br />Chromia satchel</p> <p><b>pic 7</b> This was really trying to &nbsp;wear summer BF jeans with the fall in mind. I am using a color repetition between footwear and top (per Angie's recipe) but no bookending for white jeans here - another faux pas? Even if so I liked it!:-)<br />Purple lurex top - Reitmans<br />Brown leather jacket - Danier<br />Kut BF jeans - Nordstrom<br />Naya purple booties - Nordstrom<br />Nude clutch from Portugal</p> <p>As usual any comments and suggestions are very much appreciated!<br />Have a nice weekend!!!</p> <p>P.S. You also can get a glimpse of my new deck in some of&nbsp;these pictures &nbsp;- still under construction but we can see the light now! I spend my whole last week of vacation slaving over it (instead of a trip to Michigan) and I am tired to the bone...but we have to finish it before snow comes!</p> </p>
