Something to think about though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ghost-of-gangster-past#post-864528 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 19:57:29 +0000 Suz 864528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE it!! You look so much fun in this. I remember Salvatore! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ghost-of-gangster-past#post-864520 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 19:51:08 +0000 catgirl 864520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, I love Salvatore! Do you have a fedora? That would literally top it off here. You look fantastically sassy and dashing with just a touch of gangsta chic. Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ghost-of-gangster-past#post-864513 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 19:47:08 +0000 Ornella 864513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I find several people responsible for today's outfit.</p> <p>Angie, take 1 - for encouraging me to wear button downs more often even though I don't work at the office at the moment. They work for casual lifestyle as well. She's right - again, what a surprise.</p> <p>Angie, take 2 - for wearing her white shirt in <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/03/01/unstructured-structure-on-a-windy-day">today's blog post</a> and one detail I love on it a lot - double buttonning at the collar. I had to reach for my shirt with the same detail.</p> <p>JulieJohn for picking up the men's vibe in my yesterday's WIW. That encouraged me to keep playing with the theme, I am realizing I actually have strong preference for menswear inspired outfits.</p> <p>As I was taking photos, I felt very gangster-y - partly thanks to the strong pinstripe, this shirt always makes me feel fierce - and remembered <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/old-photos-navy-black-as-worn-by-salvatore">the old post in which I introduced my alter ego, Salvatore,</a></strong> so photo 2 is just for fun and photo 3 to show my old creation... perhaps I should blame Deborah for inspiring me for some more fun with her <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ffbo-photo-fun">today's WIW</a>.</p> <p>Anyway, hubby liked this a lot, but he's always loved button downs on me, so no surprises there. And the kid was also complimentary (his dad seems to be doing a good job as a role model in that area).</p> <p>Over to you, thanks for reading. </p>
