I am so used to skinnies and how they fit now, so I saw looseness in the thigh and my fab-o-meter went out of whack, apparently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-793107 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 23:50:08 +0000 Mochi 793107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, in fact I did. </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....nteresting</a></p> <p>This jacket, which Diana is also enamored of, almost got some real consideration this morning: </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/heed-lace-necklace-jacket/3362989?cm_cat=datafeed&#038;cm_ite=heed_lace_necklace_jacket:579528&#038;cm_pla=jacket/sportcoat:women:jacket&#038;cm_ven=pricegrabber&#038;mr:referralID=822a5271-4324-11e2-8751-001b2166c2c0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/he.....1b2166c2c0</a></p> <p>I just am not totally sold on the neckline, for me.

I think you look so amazing in this, because the style and colors work so well together and on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792812 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:40:03 +0000 Anonymous 792812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this pushes the boundaries of classic. I love the frayed jeans on you actually. All you need is a lace jabot! Do you have any velvet jackets? I remember that Boden coat you were looking at last year, did you end up getting it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792789 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:07:35 +0000 Sarah 792789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! I've been classic before, and maybe still am (who knows?) but I love how you've modernized this look. It's so fresh, current, and comfortable. Great style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792785 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 15:55:42 +0000 modgrl 792785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really like this outfit and I particularly like how frayed and distressed the jeans are. Are you sure you're going to have to let them go? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792784 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 15:53:32 +0000 Day Vies 792784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look classic with an edge -- not classic boring at all. I really like the frayed edge of the jeans with the boots and tailored jacket very unexpected. (You look like you are ready to jump on a bike! -- I love it! ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792587 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 09:41:09 +0000 Ingunn 792587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi - you look great! Modern, classic and curls are all great in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792580 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 08:29:55 +0000 ManidipaM 792580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's a rebel in the jeans, a romantic in the cut and colour of the jacket, a devil-may-care insouciance in the tumbling curls... as a non-classic persona myself, this is certainly NOT too classic for me! I think you look magnificent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792421 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:14:20 +0000 Deborah 792421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From a self confessed Modern Classic... I love this:) I think you are mixing quite a few elements here and they look great. I find the grungy jeans add a bit of edge to the mix and as mentioned your curls add that hint of romantic. The foundation of the outfit may be modern classic but I think you have made the look totally yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792420 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:13:26 +0000 Mochi 792420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone. Getting Angie's Seal of Approval and you all's positive feedback is always great. The jeans will get a reprieve, then. And this little exercise made me think about what "romantic" means to me; I just posted my thoughts on this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792410 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 02:08:43 +0000 Marley 792410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Nancy - I think this looks sooooo good on you! And I agree with the others - its got a rugged, modern edge to it - along with the classic tops and the romantic hair. Just a really nice mix - and a flattering silhouette on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792393 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 01:56:53 +0000 Jaime 792393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that the frayed jeans actually add edge to this look, and your curls add the romantic. I think this looks great and you should just re-label it for yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792336 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 23:48:59 +0000 Angie 792336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's wrong with a modern classic look.</p> <p> :)</p> <p>There is lots of modern flair here, Nancy. Rugged from the waist down. Classic from the waist up. MODERN. Current. This is it. </p> <p>Plus, you must remember that your curly hair automatically adds that romantic touch no matter what you wear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792285 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 21:45:08 +0000 fern 792285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know exactly what you mean. I am trying to push myself so my new stuff is edgier, but it's a slow process on a budget -<br /> You look great. I too love the tonal colors here.<br /> Great jeans and can't see the bagging in the photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792281 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 21:37:54 +0000 Transcona Shannon 792281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Janet - I kind of like the beat up look of the jeans. And the tonal colour palette is really nice. I think you look fabulous Mochi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792223 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:01:46 +0000 Janet 792223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like that the jeans are so worn and easy -- they rough up the classic components of the outfit. Grey looks great on you, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792206 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 19:35:48 +0000 Thistle 792206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look on you! Perhaps a pop of color would help make it less preppy? Maybe a tangerine arm candy or belt?</p> <p>As is, I still think it looks amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792200 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 19:20:31 +0000 Suz 792200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What neatnic said. You look great! And your curls provide instant romance. </p> <p>Also wanted to reply on your other thread about being able to wear heels. Before I started exercising I was completely unable to wear heels. I just did not have the balance or, I can only suppose, the strength. Now I wear a chunky or well set heel very easily. So you would be surprised! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792198 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 19:16:56 +0000 cinnamon fern 792198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! Keep the jeans - their oldness is good with the preppy top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792177 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:34:05 +0000 ironkurtin 792177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very sleek AND romantic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792172 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:23:23 +0000 neatnic 792172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This actually reads as edgy-romantic to me -- your gorgeous curls and the soft water colors look romantic, and the distressed jeans and boots provide a bit of edge. The first things that popped into my head when looking at this were: I love the jeans! I gotta get a pair of distressed jeans! </p> <p>Great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792166 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:07:43 +0000 Jewell 792166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You may not have signed up for the classic look but I like it! This combination looks great on you. Lol at your comment about most of the clothes for your edgy romantic style persona being imaginary for now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792165 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:06:31 +0000 RunnerChick 792165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a classic look - and you look terrific in it. These are such stylish, beautiful colors too. I hear you about the jeans (it's got to be a pain in wet weather, especially), but I like that frayed look a lot. If you like the fit, I am wondering if snipping off the hanging threads will keep the jeans going for a little bit longer. I have a pair of grey bootcuts that I like a lot, and that's what I just did to them... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792164 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:06:31 +0000 Beth Ann 792164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is classic-Mochi. You are take a "style" and personalizing it really well. In no way do I want to call you "Muffy" or expect to see you chairing the PTO (not, to quote Seinfeld) that there's anything wrong with that). </p> <p>You've been mastering soft-tonal looks --- I look to you for ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792163 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:04:52 +0000 Amy 792163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, whatever label you want to apply to this style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-hey-i-didnt-sign-up-for-the-classic-look#post-792160 Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:00:39 +0000 Mochi 792160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But somehow that's happening. For now it's okay; at least I look pulled together and my stuff is getting frequent wear. In my head I think of myself with my edgy-romantic look (most of the clothes for this look are imaginary for now), but this is where I kind of am. </p> <p>Jacket: AT<br /> blouse: Foxcroft from Nordies. I have one white, one blue, one grey. Like 'em.<br /> T: J. Crew<br /> Boots: Born<br /> Jeans: thrifted. Now that I'm looking at this pic, I will have to let them go. They are stretched or bagging out in the thigh and horribly frayed. Bootcuts!!!! </p>
