It works, it really does!</p> <p>ETA I wrote this hours ago and never pressed submit! Anyway here goes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-825427 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 08:39:26 +0000 Scarlet 825427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, but this is a great interpretation. You added your personal ladylike spin to it. I can see what you mean about the jacket, but I actually think it still works as is. I hope you felt great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-825396 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 06:18:34 +0000 Deborah 825396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mean to keep bringing this thread to life but I just want to say thank you again for your incredibly kind comments. </p> <p>Vicki, if you look closely, EA is wearing a skinny leg but the cut of her shoes/sandals are creating what looks like a split...pretty cool look I think.</p> <p>Suz, and others, you made me want to cry:). As a little girl I used to always notice and admire stylish women and that's so what I wanted to be when I grew up (among other things) so your words are just so encouraging and have really blessed me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-825245 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 02:21:26 +0000 Suz 825245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woefully late here. So frustrating - I could not see the pictures very well on my phone and wanted to wait to reply until I had the computer! </p> <p>You may not be Emmanuelle Alt, but you are one heck of a gorgeous and stylish woman! I love your version; it is right for you. So elegant and fresh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-825181 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:58:45 +0000 Jjsloane 825181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in this. I prefer you to EA in this scenario (but it's not her best facial shot) Great interpretation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-825163 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:40:39 +0000 Vicki 825163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>EA, meet DA (Deborah of AU)! You look lovely with this inspiring photo and now I want to copy both of you! I'm still trying to figure out if I'm seeing front slits on the bottom of EA's hems or if the shoes are creating the illusion for me. Whatever, I like it and think you pulled it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-825155 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:34:54 +0000 rachylou 825155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in the EA outfit. I would say it's true enough, you are elegant and EA is really more rangy. It's her long torso. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-825050 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 23:01:45 +0000 Tina.b 825050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your jacket works very well with the outfit. Though nothing wrong with adding another to the repertoire (have one on my list for spring too). Such a great combo of edgy and elegant, you are too fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-824987 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 21:33:23 +0000 Deborah 824987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much ladies! I have decided I would like a more slouchy white blazer so that's going on my list for 2013. But I am glad this jacket works. Tucking is definitely another option but not with these pants due to the very firm fit on the tummy so I am thinking of trying this with my slouchy black pants as I can tuck or at least semi tuck with those,</p> <p>It was fun to do an inspiration outfit! I tend to be very literal and often don't bother trying because I can do the look exactly lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-824839 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 18:41:16 +0000 Sarah A 824839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Shannon, I prefer the longer shirt and shorter jacket as you have styled. I think it's great interpretation of an icon's look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-824830 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 18:30:39 +0000 cheryl 824830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful. Love your version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-824825 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 18:27:26 +0000 MsMaven 824825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your version better than EA's. I look at her and the word "giraffe" comes to mind. </p> <p>When I was younger, tall and skinner than now, I didn't like the skinny pants look, nor did I like the teasing, not that anyone would tease EA. </p> <p>In fact, you look fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-824821 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 18:23:45 +0000 Amy 824821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you're not EA, because you bring something special to the equation. You look wonderful, Deb. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt/page/2#post-824758 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:42:05 +0000 pil 824758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt#post-824757 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:41:29 +0000 Day Vies 824757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't have to be --- "I did it my way" comes to mind. This is gorgeous on you. I absolutely love it. I really appreciate how you've adopted this outfit to reflect you and your lifestyle. It's more of an adaptation than an a copy and I really appreciate that difference. Bravo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt#post-824715 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 17:12:48 +0000 Thistle 824715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!

You could try a shorter top under it to create the longer jacket look maybe?...and scrunch the sleeves like someone suggested, but you really don't need to change a thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt#post-824554 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:16:56 +0000 Anonymous 824554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, you look fabulous! I can't believe you had pieces in your closet that are even this close to E.A.'s. You are one semi-tuck and a sleeve scrunch away from the picture. Your blouse is amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt#post-824517 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:36:12 +0000 JulieJohn 824517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look so darned good! I love this on you, the white jacket really highlights your lovely coloring. Good thought about the looser pants for the heat. I love a nice white blazer. It's like "instant chic".</p> <p>Have you tried the printed blouse tucked in? I'm just curious if you would like the jacket's proportions better in that configuration, where it is the longer item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt#post-824513 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:27:21 +0000 amiable 824513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, but this is terrific! I like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt#post-824497 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:16:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 824497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think this outfit is gorgeous and completely reinforces the fact that I need a fab fitting white blazer for spring/summer. I like the proportions of the longer blouse underneath the blazer and the soft look of untucked. Love this so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt#post-824493 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:14:35 +0000 TraceyLiz65 824493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think you are not seeing what the rest of us are. I think the proportions of this jacket work beautifully and no need to switch it up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt#post-824482 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:04:11 +0000 Classically Casual 824482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your outfit works very well. One of the things I like best about it, is that it is"your" look...it's not totally EA's. In other words, you're maintaining some of your signature style while being inspired by another's. And in the extreme heat, your efforts are heroic!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt#post-824470 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 13:47:15 +0000 missvee 824470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a fab outfit and the proportions are spot on. You look much better than EA in my opinion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt#post-824469 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 13:46:49 +0000 Anonymous 824469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! It's a perfect example to me of Elegant Eclectic and I would wear it in a heartbeat. EA's white jacket is more of the moment while yours looks more classic blazer, but I still think it works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-am-not-emmanuelle-alt#post-824468 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 13:45:54 +0000 Mellllls 824468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like yours even better! </p>
