It looks so great! I have that same cardi but in white. I love it to death. It is so versatile and seems to go with just about anything.</p> <p>The Okalas look great too, even though you can't see the ankle straps. I just ordered them in black...probably keeping the nude...yes, you are an enabler! But I do need a pair of basic black heels for my wardrobe, so I might as well get one that has a modest heel and is comfortable, right? I have problems with shoes slipping off my feet, so the ankle strap is an added bonus. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1277087 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 05:19:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1277087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yes, the shoes really look great with this outfit. What a fantastic FFBO! I can't see the makeup, but you look terrific. It's fun to have new makeup--I like how it feels to refresh my look, even if it's not really noticeable to others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1277081 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 05:05:13 +0000 Beth Ann 1277081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With so many well fitting, versatile items in your closet, your mind can afford a little "nap while dressing."&nbsp; The fit and proportions are lovely and flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1277042 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 03:38:00 +0000 Adelfa 1277042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, that's an interesting benefit of posting brand information. Not only what to buy, but what not to buy! We can all help each other out.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276848 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 00:27:25 +0000 Aida 1276848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really lovely! I can see why it's a FFBO, it works wonderfully. Great classic look with updated details.&nbsp;I don't mind the full length pants here (as you said the strap shows when you sit, and they're not thaaaaat long), though they will probably look good rolled too. You're also making me realize that I need to send my pair of those pants back; they fit you beautifully and mine don't fit nearly so well, so I should move on to the next fabulous thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276695 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 22:01:54 +0000 Adelfa 1276695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, can't wait to see the gray ankle pants! I know what you mean about covering the ankle strap for work. Thanks for the kind words! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276668 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 21:23:56 +0000 rachylou 1276668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This really looks great! I'm into grey ankle pants. I just got a pair myself. I might even prefer that the ankle strap is covered for work. I feel like you've upped your game to a new level, Adelfa... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276633 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 20:51:09 +0000 Adelfa 1276633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, I'm a shameless enabler when it comes to these shoes. They up your style quotient and your pretty quotient and are comfy! Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276560 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 19:14:27 +0000 viva 1276560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those pants on you! And you are making me rethink the Okalas. I know I Will get a black pair someday. It's in the cards. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276559 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 19:13:55 +0000 Adelfa 1276559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Shannon!</p> <p>Gracie, that's so true--the slit means that flipping once doesn't work!</p> <p>Cc, I love clean and modern-- thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276554 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 18:43:04 +0000 cciele 1276554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it -- clean and modern style. And the Okalas look fantastic with the outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276535 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 18:25:24 +0000 Gracie 1276535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a terrific FFBO, the length of the pants with the Okalas looks pretty good to me. I think you can wear the Okalas without showing the ankle straps all the time – I see your pants have a notch on the side seam, so they would probably need at least two rolls to hold and that might be too high...&nbsp; I can't see your new makeup in these photos, but you look great – maybe you are sporting the natural look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276521 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 18:03:48 +0000 Adelfa 1276521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ami, pil--thanks!</p> <p>Mona, that's so true. Well selected well fitting items will see you through!</p> <p>Claire, I'll take that espresso! I agree, simple sophistication is the goal!</p> <p>MsMary, what can I say? It's amazing how happiness can show! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276492 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 17:39:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1276492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simply lovely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276481 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 17:29:07 +0000 Anonymous 1276481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That outift is so perfect! The colors are low-key but it reeks of that simple sophistication that I'm always striving for. Okalas really do make everything better. I wear my pants covering the straps too. They show when I walk or sit, and I like that subtlety. You look fab, and I hope you feel revived soon. Have a Starbucks on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276473 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 17:17:35 +0000 Mona 1276473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh the okalas are just perfect on you. You look very classy and nicely put together in this outfit. The pants fit you so well. I think this is what one needs when dressing up in a hurry. Well fitting wardrobe items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276455 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 16:57:13 +0000 MsMary 1276455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super love!&nbsp; I swear, Adelfa!&nbsp; I think you have found the Fountain of Youth down here in So Cal!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276392 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 15:28:17 +0000 pil 1276392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are some great looking shoes - they make your already sharp outfit that much more polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276391 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 15:27:03 +0000 amiable 1276391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is perfection on you! &nbsp;No wonder you were happy all day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276383 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 15:21:57 +0000 Adelfa 1276383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie I'll show these rolled soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276332 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 14:07:37 +0000 Angie 1276332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>I love the length of those pants on you, Jody. You can roll the hems&nbsp;a little to show the straps on your shoes too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276331 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 14:06:23 +0000 Adelfa 1276331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie, crutcher, shevia--thanks! I have several pairs of pants this length so I was hoping the Okalas were okay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276328 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 14:03:19 +0000 Adelfa 1276328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Elle, absolutely! The formula is one which I've used for many years: black &amp; white bottom + black top + black shoe. I think that's why it was a FFBO for me. But Angie and the forum are helping me to stock pieces in my closet that--even thought they're not actually that mind-bending--I never would have picked myself in a million years. Such as a slight waterfall linen cardi or the Okalas. Or even a more fluid tee--not sure when I would have picked up on this trend. It just helps to have pieces that work better, and I owe that all to ylf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276249 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 12:27:59 +0000 Jaime 1276249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okalas do make everything better. You look terrific and I think the pants are fine like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276200 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 10:12:14 +0000 crutcher 1276200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I could only steal those shoes...Absolutely TDF...and the entire outfit is classy and right beyond belief...Good job... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276195 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 10:02:08 +0000 Karie 1276195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cut and drape of that sweater - not too long, not too short. I think the Okalas look fine with those trousers. A very chic outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276169 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 07:45:44 +0000 ElleH 1276169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I'm not sure if you always had this ability to put together such a fab outfit without thinking. I'm not saying I've seen you in less than fab outfits. I'm saying this because even though I would probably have to put some thought into looking this fab, it is so much easier for me to look good with less thought and effort since joining YLF. I have learned so much that hopefully some of it goes on autopilot when I'm tired or rushed.</p> <p>As for the pant length, they appear to be one of Angie's preferred length for cropped pants, even though you can't see the strap. I don't think you need to. With the shorter length of crop you need the strap, in a close color, to create more length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276138 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 05:52:23 +0000 Adelfa 1276138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Lyn, you seriously do! I think you will be amazed at how much you love them! And even though you have black hair if you only get one pair, I say get the nude. They are magical and I think would tone well with your skin.</p> <p>Neel, I tried to flip up the hems of the pants, but I thought the result was awkward. &nbsp;Another time I'll post that view. (Need to remember to take a pic of everything that goes into the decision making process....) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276136 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 05:40:49 +0000 lyn* 1276136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your FFBO! Oh, man, I need to get my paws on those shoes. They make everyone look so chic and elegant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-happy-ffbo#post-1276135 Thu, 12 Jun 2014 05:38:14 +0000 Neel 1276135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is perfection for plain and unimaginative! Very classic yet modern because of the ankle strap pumps. I would roll the pants a wee bit more to show a sliver of skin between the ankle strap and the pant hem. It all looks doable in my head but I suck at getting the roll right! So I understand if you feel comfortable in this </p>
