I enjoy seeing your outfit pictures, you're a natural at this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-308138 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 18:28:41 +0000 rae 308138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Note to self: grab that plaid dress in event of fire!</p> <p>Nicole, I only just started posting the prices after someone requested them. Before, I was pretty shy about who I told about my bargains. I am glad you find it helpful -- I for one would LOVE to see your bargain prices as well. I find it so inspiring to see what people do on a budget. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-308081 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 17:14:01 +0000 nicoleb 308081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 is my favorite also! I want to steal your bag!</p> <p>I love how your priced everything out. I do this on my Facebook WIW album but I wasn't sure if anyone on here would care what a barginista I am. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-308077 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 17:02:04 +0000 Angie 308077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look great Rae, but outfit #6 is spectacular! I just adore you in that checked frock </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-308008 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 15:02:14 +0000 Debora 308008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I second Joy's suggestion of the Magic Eraser. I use it for marching band on the kids' white leather gauntlets and shoes. It works wonders!</p> <p>I'm in awe of your bargains and that is such a sweet ring. All your outfits are great, but I just LOVE your Chanel interpretation with the plaid dress. You look adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-308003 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 14:53:05 +0000 rae 308003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Joy, I will look into a magic eraser -- thanks! I have a feeling turquoise would go with more of my stuff, though. Decisions, decisions...</p> <p>Anna, any suggestions how to fix the bottom halves?</p> <p>As always, thank you for the feedback!! I started keeping all the "approved" looks in a folder and discarding the rest. My plan is to review the file when I'm stuck for an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-307939 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 06:16:42 +0000 AJ 307939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 is my favorite...the green tights make me smile. Nicely styled!</p> <p>Yes, a DIY purse dye tutorial would be a fun post! Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-307927 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 05:33:39 +0000 kellygirl 307927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice, Rae! Love 6--the dress, tights, jacket and boots are perfect together. #3 also really appeals to monochromatic me. I have a feeling there is a lot more going on than what the picture shows--the texture of the vest and color of your top don't really show well. I love the rugged boots with this as well. #1 and 5 are gorgeous on you too. You look fab in red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-307914 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 05:01:24 +0000 chouette22 307914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your vests, bags, boots and all of your outfits - so wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-307909 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 04:47:25 +0000 annagybe 307909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the top 1/2 of #1 and #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-307906 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 04:43:11 +0000 lyn* 307906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 is my favorite.... girl, I love that bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-307889 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 03:59:50 +0000 Anonymous 307889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your Chanel look is my favorite of the group. Those are beautiful boots.<br /> Have you tried a "Magic Eraser" on your bag in #2? It might do the trick to clean it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-307881 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 03:44:19 +0000 MsMary 307881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab as always! So glad my little pendant ended up around your pretty neck! And I love the outfit your built around it!! I love your "Chanel" look -- the green tights especially just tickle my fancy!</p> <p>And yes, I'll egg you on with the turquoise bag-dying! Sounds like fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-finally-a-chanel-interpretation-to-be-or-not-to-be#post-307878 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 03:37:36 +0000 rae 307878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1- Redid the outfit with the swapped red top, only this time I had to wear boots to stay warm! ($1 sweater vest, free top, $50 J. Crew cords from outlet, $20 boots, bag was a gift)</p> <p>2- Convince me to dye this bag turquoise... I actually love its current color with my black/brown/gray outfit, but... it's so dirty and will not clean. ($1 Express cashmere, $1 Bloomingdale's skirt, $120 MK boots, $10 Italian handbag).</p> <p>4- Outfit based around swapped pendant -- the matching earrings got snapped up, but this little guy was left behind just for me. ($7 Ben Sherman shirt, $1 Betty Paige vest, $1 Ann Taylor pants, $20 Steve Madden boots). </p> <p>6- Didn't know what to wear, so used the Chanel formula as loose inspiration: B/W color scheme, tweedy jacket, chain bag, floral ring. ($1 tweed jacket, $1 Target dress, same MK boots as above, London Fog bag bought with X-mas money, $1 green tights, $1 flower ring). </p> <p>8- Can't believe I wore these pants in public. OUT THEY GO! ($30 BR wrap sweater, $10 Calvin Klein belt, $1 Poleci pants, gifted handbag). </p>
