My favorite is 5/6. And OMG those booties are amazing!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-518366 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:28:59 +0000 ButterflyLady 518366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, thanks everyone. I'm so bad at jeans outfits - it's supposed to be jeans week this week, and I have flunked so far I need to work on it, because jeans are really slightly better suited to my life! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-518357 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:22:52 +0000 Vicki 518357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are one adventurous, creative woman, ButterflyLady, and I'm LOL at Taylor's comments, because I'm a jeans person, too! I adore your waistcoat in 5-6 and love your pants and oxfords in 9. Perfectly executed in the theme division! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-518241 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:52:40 +0000 Amy 518241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic week! I like all of your outfits, but am particularly drawn to the one with the waistcoat. I love that look. As Angie said, you shoes are killer. I like the topstitching on those pants too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-518127 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 08:38:11 +0000 Aunty 518127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic week, I love the black and white outfit the best, but I am a sucker for a black waistcoat </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-517842 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 22:23:23 +0000 taylor 517842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to get out of our denim isn't it! You did a great job, love the addition of the vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-517807 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 21:45:27 +0000 Lisa 517807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would fail having to wear a week of trousers, I own mostly jeans. You did a great job! I really like the top in #3 on you, add more of that style it is super flattering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-517744 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:23:13 +0000 ButterflyLady 517744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@cjh - I could try wearing it open. It's currently travelling through the laundry process but when it's done, I will see - it does have the belt thing going on, and the ruching at the front, which may mean it won't work, but I can try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-516853 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 17:37:51 +0000 Angie 516853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!</p> <p>You look smashing in every outfit and wear wide trousers with grace :)</p> <p>KILLER oxfords. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-516788 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 16:53:47 +0000 cjh 516788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks, and great job meeting your self-challenge! The flower necklace is really pretty and really becomes a nice focal point with the black and white background.</p> <p>#3-4 makes you look sleek, ready-for-action. I also love the pants with the topstitching, and the heeled oxfords! Sharp!</p> <p>Any chance you could pair the cardigan with another under-layer and leave it unbuttoned? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-516730 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 15:52:44 +0000 JennyAnne 516730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very pretty and feminine week! I could really use a denim-free week. Sad about the rose cardigan. It's lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-516702 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 14:56:30 +0000 Andrea B. 516702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Planning is key--you've done a terrific job here, and I love all the looks here (and, those shoes with those pants make me want to hit a high C)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-516677 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:58:05 +0000 ButterflyLady 516677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did find it easier each day, as I had planned the outfits at the weekend, and only really made very minor tweaks, if any. I think I will try jeans/leggings looks next week, and then see if I can remix the pants from this week into different outfits for the week after - I find it really helps me to plan!</p> <p>The cardigan is lovely (I can see that, looking at the photo) but only if I keep absolutely still! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-516675 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 12:54:24 +0000 Jjsloane 516675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you on the challenge, I think you did great. I find in some ways it's easier (you can focus) and harder (you always find something you need that you don't have) to get dressed when you set your own limits. My favorite look of yours here is 5-6. I totally understand about items that require annoying adjustments throughout the day. I have decided to put those (along with shoes that hurt) on the donate pile as soon as I get home. Cute booties too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monday-to-friday#post-516666 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 11:45:29 +0000 ButterflyLady 516666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After Ornella commented on my thread about choosing a 'theme' for a week's dressing, I decided to wear a week (well, 5 days) of pants outfits (rather than jeans/leggings).</p> <p>1 and 2 - Monday - black pants, black tank, rust curved hem cardigan, rust/brown beaded necklace, black lace up booties</p> <p>3 and 4 - Tuesday - charcoal pants, magenta cami and wrapover sweater, black boots</p> <p>5 and 6 - Wednesday - black pants (different from Monday!), white t-shirt, grey/black vest, red flower pendant</p> <p>7 - close up of pendant, because it's cute!</p> <p>8 - Thursday - fine wool plaid pants, deep dusky rose longline cardigan and matching cami, brown lace up booties.</p> <p>9 - close up of brown booties.</p> <p>Friday has no photo as my husband took the camera to work - but I wore dark brown pants, with an ivory cami and brown wrapover style sweater (very similar to the one I wore on Tuesday!).</p> <p>What I learned - the deep rose longline cardigan is annoying to wear - it rides up, the cami doesn't sit right under it and it has an annoying tie belt that goes through fabric loops, which I can't remove without damaging the cardigan - it's going on the donate pile! And also that I don't have enough jewellery or accessories for these outfits.</p> <p>I don't think I did too badly, considering I thought I had nothing to wear! Any thoughts/comments? </p>
