Rosie is probably taking good care of you though : )</p> <p>Amiable, thanks!  And don't say you don't know anything, you've been putting together some nice looks : ) </p> <p>Suz, showing off the boots is exactly why I went with the rolled cuff, and I did receive a compliment on them at one store!</p> <p>Kellygirl, I'm so glad you liked my version - thanks for the inspiration!</p> <p>JR, thanks! The scarf was tied differently than usual after watching the Nordstrom video that Sveta posted. I think it looks better tied this way.</p> <p>Shannon, I'm pleased with the fit too, thanks.  FYI, the sweaters come in petite -  which is what I ended up going with.</p> <p>Henley, thanks.  The rolled up styling is something I never would have tried pre-YLF : )</p> <p>Ceit, baby steps for me! I've surely had more misses than anything to date but plan to keep plugging away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kellygirl-and-the-recent-flurry-of-stripes#post-782656 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 01:16:40 +0000 Anonymous 782656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this, pil! I think you are really finding your style through these experiments and trying new things! You took an inspiration and then translated it into your own version, which is awesome. Anyone can copy anyone else by finding identical pieces, by deconstructing an outfit and reconstructing it yourself you've made something new and yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kellygirl-and-the-recent-flurry-of-stripes#post-782649 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 01:09:55 +0000 Anonymous 782649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the look. I have been struggling with how to style rolled up jeans with boots and like your version. I wouldn't worry about being scammed. You have a big heart and did a kind thing today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kellygirl-and-the-recent-flurry-of-stripes#post-782637 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 00:57:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 782637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that sweater on you - beautiful fit. I'm not big on turtlenecks for myself either so will have to keep these in mind. Love the colour palette here - very soft and cozy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kellygirl-and-the-recent-flurry-of-stripes#post-782629 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 00:52:24 +0000 Angie 782629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That picture of your furbabies is SO CUTE I can't stand it. Wait till Pug-crazy Janet sees it :)</p> <p>The rolled jeans version looks great! As does the unrolled version. This is your best casual outfit to date. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kellygirl-and-the-recent-flurry-of-stripes#post-782566 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 23:48:25 +0000 JR 782566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shot of purple is absolutely wonderful. It provides a subtle contrast to your hair, and really makes this outfit, as far as I'm concerned. Very nice!</p> <p>I have a slight preference for the jeans unrolled, but they look good both ways. And it is true you have to show off those gorgeous boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kellygirl-and-the-recent-flurry-of-stripes#post-782520 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 23:01:25 +0000 kellygirl 782520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so flattered to have inspired you! I LOVE your version. I especially love the jeans rolled. The boots look so sleek and the similarity in color keeps the leg line long. I don't think you could go wrong with either though. You look amazing! </p> <p>Adorable Christmas pic. Your furbabies are so sweet! Agreeing that you have a very generous and kind heart! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kellygirl-and-the-recent-flurry-of-stripes#post-782498 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 22:30:23 +0000 Suz 782498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whether or not it was a scam, it was very kind of you, and that is good karma. </p> <p>Your fashion karma is also great. Look at you rocking those amazing boots! And I love you in the grey jeans and sweater. This tonal, striped look is terrific on you; it's one of my favourite outfits of yours yet! </p> <p>I prefer the jeans unrolled but I think they do work rolled as well because the colours are all similar value. And when you've got boots like that, it makes sense to show them off! </p> <p>The dogs are adorable!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kellygirl-and-the-recent-flurry-of-stripes#post-782442 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 21:27:54 +0000 amiable 782442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scam or no scam, it was a lovely gesture of you!</p> <p>And you look equally lovely! (In both pics!)</p> <p>I prefer the jeans unrolled, but don't listen to me - I don't know anything yet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-kellygirl-and-the-recent-flurry-of-stripes#post-782432 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 21:07:31 +0000 pil 782432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The inspiration is Kellygirl's outfit with the gray stripe top in her recent Nothing Fancy thread. I don't have color jeans so brought in the pants color with my scarf. Shoes are Anyi Lu boots. Not quite fab like Kelly, but I had to try : )<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....hing-fancy</a></p> <p>I recently bought a couple of cashmere funnel neck sweaters from Lands End. Gray with navy stripe and cream with navy stripe. Because I don't really wear turtlenecks I wasn't sure about the funnel neck, but find that I quite like it.</p> <p>Pic 2 is with the jeans rolled up. I actually ended up wearing this version out of the house for errands today. What do you think of the rolled jeans on me?</p> <p>Pic 3 is just a Christmas card photo out take. Kids are out of the house now and have been supplanted by dogs : )</p> <p>On a side note, I hope I wasn't scammed today while browsing at a store. A young woman was on her phone when I walked in. The gist of the conversation that I heard was - judge said husband still has access to bank account since they aren't yet divorced, account is $2 overdrawn, she had no gas to get home 30 miles away to get kids from school, could friend send $15 via Western Union. I only had a $20 bill and gave that to her. She thanked me and left immediately. The conversation sounded genuine, but who knows these days. At least I didn't see that she had any shopping bags. </p>
