I admit, I went for the clothes. I like cake, and yours look <i>delicious </i>(I so want to try the marshmallow!), but your outfits are always soooo well turned out ^^ #1, #7/8, and #11 steal the show for me!</p> <p>(I know your neck is a sensitive issue, so I just wanted to say that I really like how you've been donning your scarves around your neck in a perfectly summery looking way. Really nice!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-with-a-dress-flats-outfit-a-top-i-designed-and-bunch-of-cakes#post-1330872 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 19:09:48 +0000 E 1330872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely in everything!

It's not important. You dressed for the occasions YOUR way. Were flawless and perfectly turned out both times. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-with-a-dress-flats-outfit-a-top-i-designed-and-bunch-of-cakes#post-1330658 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 14:23:11 +0000 Tanya 1330658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, thank you all for such kind words!&nbsp; * blushing *</p> <p>So interesting about #11, the outfit I wore to the engagement party.&nbsp; I love the outfit, but I was wondering if I might have made a wrong choice for the occasion, as every other woman at the party wore a dress.&nbsp; They are all younger, in their late 20s. I think someone on the forum recently had a thread about younger women and dresses.&nbsp; Than, for the brunch the following morning, when I did wear a sundress, all the other women wore tees and shorts.&nbsp; I seem not to be on the right frequency with them.&nbsp; Maybe it is the age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-with-a-dress-flats-outfit-a-top-i-designed-and-bunch-of-cakes#post-1330636 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 14:12:21 +0000 Angie 1330636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First Tanya, a shoutout to the killer cakes. I'll take a slice of each for breakfast please. ( I LOVE cake).&nbsp;</p> <p>And every outfit to so elegant, on trend and pulled together. You have an AMAZING wardrobe. Wow. You need to insure it.&nbsp;</p> <p>#11 is unbearably stunning. WOW. Killer to the power of Killer. I am so stealing that top, Designer Tanya. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-with-a-dress-flats-outfit-a-top-i-designed-and-bunch-of-cakes#post-1330626 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 14:00:10 +0000 Suz 1330626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Tanya, what a week, and in more ways than one! Your work and casual outfits are stellar as always, but #11 takes the cake! (So to speak, LOL). And what a cake it is! How sweet of you (oops, another pun!) to make those cakes for your friend. I am sure they tasted as delicious as they look.&nbsp;</p> <p>And that top you designed is just beautiful! The perfect outfit, elegant, relaxed, and unique. Brava for a beautiful design!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-with-a-dress-flats-outfit-a-top-i-designed-and-bunch-of-cakes#post-1330594 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 13:00:56 +0000 Anonymous 1330594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admit I clicked on this mostly to see&nbsp;the cakes (they look so tasty), but the outfits are gorgeous. Especially the top you designed! It's so elegant and the cut really does let the pattern shine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-with-a-dress-flats-outfit-a-top-i-designed-and-bunch-of-cakes#post-1330590 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:50:26 +0000 Tanya 1330590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much ladies!&nbsp; Baking is a huge hobby for me, both something I like to do for other people and to occupy myself when I am trying not to worry about various things.</p> <p>Peri, you have great memory about my tailoring woes.&nbsp; My tailor home did indeed mess up this top, the neckline to be specific, so I had to bring it to another tailor here in the US to fix it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-with-a-dress-flats-outfit-a-top-i-designed-and-bunch-of-cakes#post-1330443 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 03:02:06 +0000 Sveta 1330443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I need to recover from #11: this dark blue top and white wide legs trousers are stunning! I need to copy it ASAP as soon as the rain stops!<br />But of course they are all great - come on, these are Tanya's outfits, what do you expect! :-)<br />Now, the cakes...marshmallow cake...I die! &nbsp;You are so talented, Tanya and so patient - I don't have patience to bake ONE cake, but three?
