The first one is great too. I see you're wearing the hipster glasses I gave a pass.... They look natural on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451987 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 03:07:19 +0000 Diana 1451987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab x 3! I love your ink-out, and it sets off your snowflake so nicely. And you wear culottes so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451969 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 02:39:51 +0000 rachylou 1451969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That last top is so great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451962 Fri, 06 Mar 2015 02:33:38 +0000 Jaime 1451962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you did there! I love how your tattoo sort of echos the t-shirt in the close up. Paying attention to&nbsp;how you take one irregular&nbsp;piece in each outfit and combine it with more classic shapes. Both are fantastic outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451897 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 23:43:52 +0000 merwoman 1451897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous - especially love #1 - the lines&nbsp;, movement and you are beautiful. Great how the eye is drawn on an angle from&nbsp;your lovely&nbsp;tattoo to your watch mimicking the lines in your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451820 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 21:49:11 +0000 approprio 1451820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I'm a bit late pitching back in here, it's been a busy afternoon. Thanks so much everybody!</p> <p><b>chouette22</b>: thanks! I really enjoyed the WIW's you posted a couple of weeks ago. More please!</p> <p>How do I feel about the tattoo? Well, apart from a moment of OMG panic yesterday, pretty great! I like the fact that it now has a subtle calligraphic quality that my original computer graphic didn't have, on account of being transcribed by hand. I'm fascinated by the way it morphs when I bend and twist my arm. And of course it has some real emotional resonance. I feel sure my girl would approve.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>AM</b>: I really appreciated your messages on the other thread. Thank you so much. :)</p> <p><b>Ceit</b>: we've never met before, but welcome back. That's a kicking pair of boots.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>: I'm going to take that comment about the waistline on board. But don't be surprised if I surrender it on days when I just can't be bothered ;)</p> <p><b>gauche</b>: no I didn't! I'd love to learn how to dye wool, but so far I've only ever dyed cotton in the washing machine. :P</p> <p><b>Diane G</b>: it's actually just a bias cut A-line with the hem sewn into the waistband and a lining underneath. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.paperblog.com/maison-martin-margiela-x-h-and-m-355757/">Pictures here.</a>&nbsp;(I think I'm too RATE to notice the wrinkling problems she reports.) It'd be a piece of cake to knock off the shape, but the devil is in the bound seam and hem detail.</p> <p>Cheers again everyone!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451769 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 20:16:04 +0000 Ruth M 1451769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I can't manage constructive criticism here. Can I just gush? I love your style. I love all your looks. #1 is amazing.</p> <p>On a serious note, approprio, I was really touched by your earlier thread and am so sorry for your loss. Your tattoo is a beautiful tribute to your friend. x</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451768 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 20:13:36 +0000 Anonymous 1451768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that skirt in #1.&nbsp;The seamstress in me is&nbsp;fascinated as to how it's cut. Nice to see your new ink with your ink outfit In #2 I really like the drape of the culottes and the marbling is a great print on your tee. Nice silhouettes. I like how you change things up silhouette-wise. It's something I aspire to do more of </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451672 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 17:10:56 +0000 Classically Casual 1451672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF!

Love the marbling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451637 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 16:06:15 +0000 Angie 1451637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer stuunning beautiful all round.

I love it. Perfect look for you. All looks are good. I'll have to go back to read about the tattoo. It looks fantastic. What an accessory </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451582 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 14:33:00 +0000 Sarah Kay 1451582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that marble dyed tee!

I always enjoy looking at your very interesting silhouettes and high impact pieces. The ink with the ink -- and your overall groove, is wonderful. You look great in ink. The tat is a work of art. I love its simplicity and size. It's just perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451539 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 13:30:05 +0000 chouette22 1451539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of your WIWs, so inspirational!&nbsp;<div>Your snowflake is perfect (bigger than I anticipated it would be) - did it turn out exactly the way you envisioned it? How does it feel having it?<div>I had a tattoo artist who took two of my college classes recently (he is in his 40s). At the end, he offered to do a tattoo of my choice for free for me (he really enjoyed my classes). It was understood, of course, that it would be something on the smaller scale. I thought and thought and started collecting potential designs&nbsp;in a folder, but in the end I had to tell him no. The idea attracted me a lot&nbsp;but I just couldn't come up with something really significant and meaningful, and thus it felt forced. In your case however, it's so relevant.</div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451538 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 13:26:34 +0000 Roxanna 1451538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always love your looks, approprio. You have such a knack for looking wholly original, avant gard and yet polished at the same time. Love the Comme culottes with the docs - very you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451537 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 13:24:55 +0000 Tania 1451537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great.&nbsp; The tattoo really sings.&nbsp; What a beautiful reminder of your friend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451523 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 12:25:22 +0000 Rubygirl 1451523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451518 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 12:01:17 +0000 Dimity 1451518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this. You've honed your style beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-ink-out-1#post-1451512 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 11:50:08 +0000 approprio 1451512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got my ink out! (see what I did there?)&nbsp;And the weather's getting better so I'm cautiously transitioning into spring.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm really enjoying my new perma-accessory. It feels just right and it makes a nice counterpoint to my watch, another piece of huge personal importance. Thanks again to everyone who commented in <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/got-ink">the original thread</a>. It meant a great deal.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 - Margiela x H&amp;M skirt with a tunic of unknown provenance over a turtleneck wool-mix tee.&nbsp;I wish I could credit Angie for the inspiration, but this has been a transitional FFB for over a year now. And it's more navy than ink, but you get the idea. </p> <p>The sunnies are optical quality LA Eyewear. I keep thinking I should get prescription lenses fitted.&nbsp;Also wearing the original snowflake, although you can't see it in the pictures.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2-4 Drykorn blazer, Comme(?) culottes, marble dyed cashmere tee and vintage Docs. I like the avant-garde/classic vibe of this look. And a good close-up of the ink.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm sitting on a few end-of-winter looks, so I might do a couple more cold weather&nbsp;WIW's over the next few days before spring really kicks in. In the meantime, your constructive feedback is appreciated as always. Thanks for looking! </p>
