This formulae work so well for you - both style wise and in comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae/page/2#post-1341372 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 00:19:45 +0000 Missey 1341372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a fall back for a reason...it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1341352 Thu, 28 Aug 2014 00:04:54 +0000 Jjsloane 1341352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For $7 why not if it looks this good? Who would be concerned if you repeat a formula? you? coworkers? I find it comforting to have a FFBO so stock up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1341342 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 23:58:22 +0000 Aida 1341342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well your formula certainly is working for you Una! #1 is WOW good, that is an awesome skirt (Is it recent? I kind of want it ^^). Glad you're finding ways to work the Carven dress, it's beautiful. I've a hunch that your black tops are different enough from each other that this formula is plenty interesting. Plus I hear you've got boatloads of knit skirts to keep things further interesting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1341265 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 22:48:10 +0000 catgirl 1341265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DV, I am actually fine with both of these looks! I'm just wondering if they are too much of the same thing since i wear some variation of this on so many days... </p> <p>Thanks for all the sweet compliments. It's so easy for me to find knit skirts that fit, as opposed to interesting non-black tops... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1341143 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 19:57:07 +0000 LACeleste 1341143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super outfits! &nbsp;I love that knit pencil on you! &nbsp;Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1341140 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 19:48:05 +0000 DonnaF 1341140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This silhouette and look works for you.&nbsp; Think of it as a signature.&nbsp; Why wear a look, e.g. Lyn's fit'n'flare with a blazer/short cardi that you know won't *feel* like *Una*? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1341126 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 19:09:52 +0000 Day Vies 1341126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1. I like the print, the color, and the shape. Not sure why you're not loving it. I love the fit + volume and the height of the boot. #1 just really "works" for me and I think it fits in with your signature style.&nbsp; <br />#2 features your softer side -- the print, the drape, relaxed fit and the white/clear frames. It's a nice remix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1341110 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 18:43:43 +0000 shedev 1341110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both.Glad you found a way to make the carven dress work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340898 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 14:08:43 +0000 Angie 1340898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You truly look killer spectacular in #1.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340896 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 14:07:54 +0000 jackiec 1340896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This silhouette works brilliantly for you, so work it!!! Absolutely love the boots with both looks. Well done.

And yes I think you are wearing a tube skirt :). F21 sometimes has some hidden treasures! Their jewellery especially is fun!</p> <p>My deep red tube skirt is from F21 too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340823 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:19:55 +0000 Parsley 1340823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are two ultra-fabulous outfits, Una! You have found a silhouette and style that works beautifully for you, so it only makes sense that they would be your FFBO. And, sigh! That Carven dress is just gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340822 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:17:48 +0000 Anonymous 1340822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both! Can't believe that skirt was only&nbsp;$7.</p> <p>I end up doing a lot of print skirt/black top and print dress/black cardigan outfits too, and I <i>wish</i> mine looked as good as yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340816 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 12:03:27 +0000 Traci 1340816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress! &nbsp;*plonk* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340810 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:53:18 +0000 viva 1340810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both outfits -- my fave pieces are those consigned boots (I love how they fit so close to your leg) and the Carven dress (gorgeous moody print). Just fantastic!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340802 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:48:45 +0000 Jaime 1340802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, my hi/lo dressing sister! I did not even see the roots until you mentioned them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340783 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 11:21:32 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1340783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two great outfits for you Una. &nbsp;The pencil skirt is a great silhouette for you and the UwP is perfect with it. &nbsp;That dress is also very nice. &nbsp;No suggestions for improvement at all. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340772 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:45:24 +0000 gryffin 1340772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my personal favorite silhouette.&nbsp; I wish, as Deborah said, I could find more muted prints but in the carven vein.&nbsp; I think this looks fabulous on you.&nbsp; Nothing wrong, IMHO, with having a uniform.&nbsp; Elegant, edgy, professional, powerful and comfortable&nbsp;- with a pair of great boots to stomp on anyone who gets in the way&nbsp; ;-)&nbsp; What could possibly be better?!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340761 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:04:32 +0000 Anonymous 1340761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are super! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340745 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 08:15:19 +0000 lyn67 1340745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love them both very much, AG!&nbsp;&nbsp;I do this very same&nbsp; formula (printed pencil and black top) for&nbsp; my office a lot, too! (see for ex. my thread I from today:-)) And I, too, need to stop buying them(pencils:-)). BUT I jus can't...:-((.</p> <p>Sigh.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340744 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 08:13:19 +0000 Zibbets 1340744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! That skirt is a fab find and fantastic with your coloring.&nbsp;</p> <p>These may feel formulaic, but they look great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340737 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 06:39:22 +0000 christieanne 1340737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love. And for 7 bucks? That is some fun fast fashion.&nbsp;<br />Like the dress contrasted with flowy sweater. And again with the F21.&nbsp;<br />I can never get past the stuff on the ground in our store. The retailer in me just wants to run out screaming. Maybe worth a look though!&nbsp;</p> <p>Another thought on your formula/closet assessment post. Just because you have a "formula" does not mean it is boring! You are rockin these looks.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340716 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 04:53:57 +0000 gardenchick 1340716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both great. I LOVE the color/pattern of the skirt, and that dress looks great on you too.<br /> I also have a hair appointment on Thursday and the same root issue...so much maintenance! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae#post-1340711 Wed, 27 Aug 2014 04:33:51 +0000 Alana in Canada 1340711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Deborah said. Really fab. </p>
