I missed you sooooo much. I'm loving your hectic pattern mixing. You are very creative and confidant - you lucky lass.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm going with #2, 3, 4 and 14 as my faves. Those are extra killer. But each outfit is a visual delight. And your smile and stellar attitude is the stylish cherry on top. Thanks for sharing.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1495371 Sat, 23 May 2015 14:57:45 +0000 catgirl 1495371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW WOW WOW!&nbsp; Love a slew of Aida outfits!&nbsp; It's interesting once again to see how the same items fit us differently.&nbsp; Those pleather capris were a disaster on me, but the plaid Kuts (in the same size!) look pretty similar.&nbsp; I adore the hi-low and cropped over longer looks here so much.&nbsp; And for some reason 17 jumped out at me, maybe because I'm not seeing you in jeans as much.&nbsp; These are very cohesive in color generally, and the plaid mixing is too much fun.&nbsp; XO </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1495217 Sat, 23 May 2015 00:01:26 +0000 Carole 1495217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your WIW's Aida...your outfits are so fun and interesting and you are an expert pattern mixer and Accessorizer. Well done. Thanks for the visual candy today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1495189 Fri, 22 May 2015 22:33:05 +0000 Debora 1495189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every one is a winner, Aida. I especially love your red jacket and the dress in #14. You look so pretty in blue. The blush jacket is super flattering too with your coloring. You are an inspiration, as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1495171 Fri, 22 May 2015 21:54:37 +0000 Windchime 1495171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Elizabeth P that a pic heavy post from you is a real treat! I love your furry scarf in #1; your coral shirt and jacket in #3; your dress in #14, and the various lengths and styles of pants you are wearing. Okay, I love all of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1495165 Fri, 22 May 2015 21:37:34 +0000 tulle 1495165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an assortment of great looks!&nbsp; And you get such an interesting difference depending on whether your hair is slicked up or down and tousled. If I had to pick just one, I think it would be #7, because you look so fresh and pretty in those drapey pants and periwinkle ikat blouse--nice how the uncluttered neckline shows off your beautiful throat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1495077 Fri, 22 May 2015 16:45:51 +0000 Diana 1495077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many amazing outfits, I can't pick a favorite!&nbsp; I really love the double plaid in #2, the gorgeous soft pastels in #3, both outfits with the new red print tank (#4 and #6) and #8 is so cute and fun and sporty.&nbsp; You are really rocking the red this spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1495054 Fri, 22 May 2015 16:04:04 +0000 texstyle 1495054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all these pics - hard to pick favorites but I really like #1 quite a lot, then #4, 9, 13, 14, 17 - okay, so&nbsp; they are all fab! I especially love it when you wear light toned shoes I&nbsp; guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1495040 Fri, 22 May 2015 15:26:42 +0000 Anonymous 1495040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, lots of purty pictures! Some fabulous outfits. A few stand outs for me are 1,3,4, 6,10, 13,16. </p> <p>I love the new bright red jacket and those pleather cropped pants look great too..nice proportions created by the capri length. I also love how you often echo the lightness of your skin tone in your outfits, or contrast with it for&nbsp; more drama, though I think your lovely hair always adds a touch of drama too. There's some really nice pattern mixing&nbsp;and our earrings and great clutches add some lovely interest as well.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1495027 Fri, 22 May 2015 14:50:17 +0000 Tanya 1495027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many lovely outfits, what a treat!&nbsp; As much as I have tried, it was impossible to pick favorites as all are amazing.&nbsp; Love that plaid tank top and red jacket, and you look wonderful in pastels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1494979 Fri, 22 May 2015 13:39:07 +0000 donnat 1494979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I did what Karie did, as I looked at each picture I thought , that's my favorite, then the next one, no that's my favorite. Great group of looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1494959 Fri, 22 May 2015 13:13:48 +0000 Summer 1494959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All fabulous outfits, Aida, but I can't take my eyes off that lovely red jacket - 6 and 16.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1494949 Fri, 22 May 2015 12:46:08 +0000 jackiec 1494949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooooh, Aida, it is so great to see you post a batch of outfits! What a treat! I love them all. Congrats on the closet edit. I'm there too, and it feels good. I am noticing a sleeker silhouette overall with these outfits (on the most part). I was in love with the outfit you wore to the meetup. That long tank under the jacket was spectacular. I thought to myself, of course Aida is in orange! I loved it!! But you mentioned it was red? Was it an orangey red? Nonetheless I love the tank and see it again here. The jacket is fantastic over the crisp black and white stripes as well. I haven't worn my pleather crops once yet this year? Can you believe it? I better pull 'em out. They look awesome on you. I could wax on forever. I so love your style and analysis. All your new stuff for SS15 seems perfect. Love seeing them in action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1494940 Fri, 22 May 2015 12:06:36 +0000 Elizabeth P 1494940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm not picking a favourite either, but just wanted to say that a pic heavy post from you is quite a treat!&nbsp; You manage to pull of many silhouettes, well.&nbsp; Which is great to see, as I also like to vary mine.</p> <p>Totally in love with the new red blouse (that you wore to the meet up).&nbsp; No chance that is available is there?&nbsp; I don't see it in the finds... :(</p> <p>I also have those pleather shorts/capri's (as does Jackie) ... aren't they awesome!&nbsp; I have yet to wear them - the weather here is just so messed up - but I have a bunch of outfits lined up and waiting.&nbsp; So, waving!!</p> <p>I missed the ROG Aida post, so will go off to read that now. I'm<br /> quite interested to see how what you discovered compares with the<br /> collection here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1494930 Fri, 22 May 2015 11:38:20 +0000 Olivegreen 1494930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so good in icy pastels and bright bright bright.<br /> I don't know where you work but I would be waiting everyday to see what you came up with, with interest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1494911 Fri, 22 May 2015 10:13:09 +0000 Karie 1494911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know how I missed the post on where your style is headed, but I will definitely go back and take a look at it.&nbsp;I've been doing a HUGE closet edit too - the biggest in my closet's history, which I plan on posting about at some point in the future. </p> <p>So as I was clicking through your outfits, I kept saying, "This is my favorite" - next outfit - "OK, this is my fav" - next outfit - "Oh I love this one too!" - you get the idea. I love them all, with a loud shout-out to the double plaid in #2, that one is super fun.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1494895 Fri, 22 May 2015 08:16:32 +0000 lyn67 1494895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delighted, thanx for posting these! So much to study and contemplate, all are fab, but would only point out nr 15, is that a skirt or a dress underneath the tunic sweater? Great idea, and suits you to a tee:-) </p> <p>ETA: My finds, are also just &nbsp;fantasy(I cannot shop any of those brands here in the eu) so thanx for the link, I missed that thread entirely. Now will go mulling over, as &nbsp;full of science to me-great idea with ROGmefantasy:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1494860 Fri, 22 May 2015 04:25:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1494860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great collection of outfits. It's so interesting to read about what you learned about your style from the ROG and its use of your aspirational pieces. I can see a slight shift but probably wouldn't have been able to describe as you have. <br />A few things that caught my eye in this totally winning set of looks:<br />The cool furry scarf in 1--how fun!<br />Your signature plaid on plaid in 2 and 6--you are the plaid-mix-mistress!<br />Love the drapey, pleated, tapered trousers in 7 and 12! <br />And the fact that you wear them just as beautifully as you do the cropped faux-leather skinnies!<br />Dresses! in 8 and 14. You look fab in them.<br />And layers over leggings in 15--squeeee (as they say here on the forum)! A look after my own heart. You look adorable in it.<br />If I were to pick a favorite (but I'm not--it's too hard) it might be 16: simple, bold, and looks fantastic on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1494843 Fri, 22 May 2015 03:30:03 +0000 Jaime 1494843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a delightful way to start the morning! These are all fab so I am just going to mention some things that struck me.<br />#9 is an excellent illustration how skin tone shoes work with cropped trousers<br />#14 I love that dress on you. My raw edge culottes are from Monki - a brand to watch.<br />Your white booties add a lot of character to your outfits.<br />You look gorgeous in light blue.&nbsp;<br />I truly can't pick favorites because these outfits are all so good, and suit different moods.&nbsp;<br />(And when I see you I always think of blueberries.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1494838 Fri, 22 May 2015 03:15:02 +0000 rizamei 1494838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great, but I really love 3, 6, and 8! The mix of patterns in 6 is especially fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-favorites-aprilmay#post-1494828 Fri, 22 May 2015 02:34:40 +0000 Aida 1494828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you gals don't mind indulging me with a photo-heavy post so I can get these outfits in my YLF blog These are my favorite work outfits from April and May, excluding this week which I'll (hopefully) post tomorrow. Unfortunately I don't have time to do up my usual editing and collages, so I'm just including an image or two per outfit; please pardon the color/contrast inconsistencies and occasional wind-related blurriness.</p> <p>Not going to write about each look, but here's a quick rundown of "newer" (SS15, FW14) items. I've also put these Finds, and anything still available, first:</p> <ul> <li>Red printed hi-low tank (SS15)</li> <li>Rose gold sparkle sweater (SS15)</li> <li>Faux-leather capris (SS15, wildcard and totally love 'em)</li> <li>Black pleated trousers (SS15, gift from the lovely Claire)</li> <li>Blue watercolor dress (SS15)</li> <li>Dalmatian pointy flats (SS15)</li> <li>Navy floral sweater (FW14)</li> <li>Dark plaid skinnies (FW14, from Suz though YLF this season)</li> <li>Cream block-heeled booties (FW14)</li> <li>Leo clutch (FW14)</li> </ul> <p>Everything else is older, and actually a pretty good representation of the all-season items that are currently in my wardrobe. Even though these outfits are all prior to my <a href="http://aida.lookfab.com/post/wiw-0516-ylf-seattle-meetup-little-updates" rel="nofollow">recent closet edit</a>, everything here remains in my wardrobe -- probably a big factor for why these looks were faves. I'd basically been wearing items from the edited section already, but having the excess cleaned up helps quite a bit! I've been repeating a lot more (for those who know me, that's a big shift), both entire and partial outfits; several of these have been worn a couple times now. (#3, 6, 12, 14, and 17 were in the running to wear to the meetup if the actual outfit I wore didn't work out.) </p> <p>I've also been strict with myself about keeping in mind my <a href="http://aida.lookfab.com/post/style-direction-thoughts-aka-thanks-rog" rel="nofollow">findings on Collection ROG Aida and where my style is headed</a> and, coupled with the closet edit, I've since been feeling <i>much</i> happier with my outfits.</p> <p>Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome! </p> <p><i>EDIT to future selves: I've since added a "header" photo so these are<br /> easy for me to spot when searching for outfits; so don't forget that<br /> all number references are shifted by one!</i></p>
