Puts fashion models to shame. #1 is so elegant and interesting at same time. Wedding outfit is perfect--and that is a dress you can wear again and again! Lot of different looks but they all look like "you". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494532 Thu, 21 May 2015 14:08:40 +0000 Anonymous 1494532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder how Angie's thief capsule is coming along as I think I need to borrow it..... what a fabulous set of outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494519 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:37:59 +0000 jackiec 1494519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Tanya, these are amazing. I just love your style. The first outfit is my personal favourite but they are all fantastic! That blue dress is gorgeous on you. I didn't think it really needed the alteration, but wow, does it look amazing. I really appreciate that you add all of your finds as well. It's so nice to see the pieces in action. You have an amazing wardrobe. I'm always a fan :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494509 Thu, 21 May 2015 12:46:15 +0000 Tanya 1494509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much Dakotacheryl, you are very kind.</p> <p>Kiwigal, thanks, the dress was lots of fun to dance in and twirl..&nbsp; And poach away the ideas :)</p> <p>Hehe, Una, we always go back to the topic of the leg length. I assure you that they are at least 2" too short to be proportional, but it is what it is.&nbsp; I always take it as&nbsp; a compliment that it can not be noticed.&nbsp; And you always seem to like my moto pieces.</p> <p>Shevia, thank you!&nbsp; You know, from a distance, the pinned curls looked like one of those awful perms sometimes some elderly ladies in my country like to get, shudder. I did get strange looks waling back home, but it was worth it to have a nice hairstyle for once later at the wedding.</p> <p>Karie, you are very sweet, thanks!&nbsp; I am a big fan of those shoes myself.</p> <p>Lyn, thanks!&nbsp; I ado wear all dark/black outfits from time to time, but not as often as lighter ones.&nbsp; But change is always fun.&nbsp; My hair in #1 is pinned in curls.&nbsp; I was going to a wedding later that day and wanted my hair wavy, so mu hairstylist curled my hair and pinned those curls, and told me to let them out only right before leaving, as my hair does not hold curl well and gets flat very fast.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494454 Thu, 21 May 2015 10:12:36 +0000 lyn67 1494454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Tanya! I think I've never seen you in all dark hues/blacks before(9-10) and I can remember when you bought the blue formal dress (2-3). All of these are spendid on you, my fave is nr 1. Is your hair braided there? Seems all wavy and shorter somehow, anyway you really have a great wardrobe and style!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494367 Thu, 21 May 2015 02:18:10 +0000 Karie 1494367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!

I loved my dalmation wedgies so much, and wore them so often, that I bought a second pair of dalmation flats this spring! Hopefully they both last longer this way </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494238 Wed, 20 May 2015 20:04:41 +0000 Tanya 1494238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, that is a bummer Aida, sorry.&nbsp; Almost all of my finds are from last year, when I shopped a lot.&nbsp;&nbsp; This year I am shopping very little, so chances are that most of my Finds are going to be sold out.&nbsp; Those Dalmatian wedge flats are so much fun, they are one of my favorite pairs of summer shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494235 Wed, 20 May 2015 20:01:17 +0000 Aida 1494235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the Finds!

These are all fantastic...I'm with Angie, I need to start a thief capsule! My absolute favorites are 6, 8 and 12 but each outfit is stunningly gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494201 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:30:51 +0000 Diana 1494201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, I think every one of these is a winner! I can't choose a favorite but I think I've narrowed it down to 1, 5, and 11. I know what you mean about biz cas often feeling not like you. I have the same problem, and I think it's because we don't have a ton of true biz cas (and straight up business or business formal) clothes so what we have does multiple duty for things like interviews, funerals, etc, so I at least tend to err on the conservative side when buying pieces. Also I feel like styling standard straight or bootcut dress trousers is rather limiting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494200 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:30:37 +0000 Angie 1494200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*picked myself off the ground with smelling salts*</p> <p><b>WOW</b></p> <p>I cannot pick a favourite. So I'm going with Killer all round &nbsp;- with the exception of &nbsp;#1, #4, #8 and #12 that are Killer the power of Killer. It's no wonder you had a HHF last week. I'm elated looking at your outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>YOUR wardrobe is one to steal, Tanya. </p> <p>*putting together my Thief capsule* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494199 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:30:23 +0000 Aida 1494199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I can see why you had a high happiness factor all week Tanya! Where to start! First, the whole lot is fab. Love the soft blush and gray shades in #1, and actually it's quite nice with your hair "up". Do you wear it pinned up or back at all? Very cute! The Tadashi dress in #2/3 is stunning on you. Those alterations paid off, it looks bespoke. Glad you were able to wear it most of the time sans jacket in all its glory ^^ LOVE those tuxedo shorts in #4. Everything about #5 tickles my 70s bone, gorgeous. Filing away to copy! The turquoise blouse in #7/8 looks super with the white skinnies. Do you have a Find for those delightful little loafers? #9/10 looks good for the event, not too costumey. And ahh those cream windowpane pants in #11/12 get me every time, still bummed I didn't order a pair. #11 is sooo cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494197 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:28:33 +0000 Angie 1494197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've fainted from all THIS KILLER FABNESS. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494196 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:26:56 +0000 CocoLion 1494196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 has to be your best outfit EVAH.... wow, I can barely stand it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-a-week-of-high-happiness-outfits#post-1494189 Wed, 20 May 2015 19:19:43 +0000 Tanya 1494189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have almost finished a huge post and it got lost, so here's a second attempt, significantly&nbsp; shorter.&nbsp; These are all outfits from last week, starting Saturday 5/9 and ending Friday 5/15.&nbsp; They are all fairly different, but the common thread is that I was quite pleased with all of them. As always, all the comments and suggestions are welcome!</p> <p>Descriptions:</p> <p>#1 - I wore this to a hairdresser on Saturday to have my hair cut and styled as I was going to a wedding later that evening.&nbsp; The silly looking hair is due to my pin curls, still up and pinned till right before the wedding for maximum durability.&nbsp;&nbsp; I wore my blush pleather moto (UO), grey/blush mixed media tank (J Crew), patterned blush tube skirt (Trouve), bone sandals (Luxury Rebel) and silver satchel (Rebecca Minkoff).</p> <p>#2/3 - the actual wedding outfit, with the hair down, and I did get the blue Tadashi dress altered for a much better waist fit.&nbsp; I was very glad I did it. I topped it off with a black tuxedo blazer ( Express, mostly off throughout the wedding), carried an old silver clutch (Express) and finished with black pointy wedges (Belle by Sigerson Morisson).</p> <p>#4 - a super casual Sunday outfit on my way to a dance studio, wherr I changed into dance gear carried in then huge black tote.&nbsp; (Dancers typically wear almost exclusively black).&nbsp; The outfit consisted of striped black&amp;white dolman top (Mango), black denim tuxedo shirts (H&amp;M), super comfy black sandals (Kelsi Dagger) and large black tote (Gap).</p> <p>#5&nbsp; - Monday work outfit.&nbsp; I knew I was going to sit the whole day in front of the computer, so heels=wedges were possible, and therefore flares. I wore a pir of faded flare jeans (Gap) with&nbsp; new white cropped eyelet top and old white linen vest (both BR(, nude pointy wedges (Cole Haan) and off-white satchel (BR).</p> <p>#6 - a boho lite work outfit on Tuesday that I have already posted yesterday but included here for completeness.&nbsp; Coral floral blouse (Nordstrom), slim straight Resolution jeans (Gap), coral ankle strap flats (Franco Sarto) and same BR bag.</p> <p>#7/8 - debut of my silk turquoise pussy bow blouse (Rachel Zoe) for Wednesday at work.&nbsp; I wanted to wear it with my high waisted white flare jeans but the effect was a bit too dramatic for work so I went with white skinnies instead (AG). It was a bit cooler so I needed a topper, and I went for my sea foam leather moto (River Island).&nbsp; I finished the outfit with a silver studded belt (Express) and silver pointy loafers (Madison Harding), and he same off-white BR satchel.</p> <p>#9/10 - on Thursday I was going to a symphonic metal concert straight after work, so I dressed accordingly in all black.&nbsp; I met friends for dinner at a nerby restaurant before the concert, and a random girl asked me if I was going to the Nightwish concert later (I was!) based on my outfit.&nbsp; I don't know whether that was good ( my outfit was right) or bad (too costumey). The outfit consisted of faded black graphic tee (Mango), faded black pinstriped skinnies (R&amp;S), black leather moto (Kenneth Cole), studded black belt (Express) and pointy black cutout booties (Carvela).</p> <p>#11/12 - on Friday I attended a career development conference for a whole day at work, and the dress code was officially business casual. This is one of my rare BC outfits that actually felt like me -&nbsp; ankle window pane pants (BR), black drapey top with unusual cutouts (BCBG), light grey blazer (Theory), black ankle strap pointy mini-wedges (Kelsi Dagger) and grey studded tote (Rebecca Minkoff).</p>
