Lol</p> <p>Thank you all. I am glad the outfit works. I think a red earring would have been nice.

Lovely, truly lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138515 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:31:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1138515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great inspiration outfit Neel - I think you look gorgeous. My guess is folks were staring because it's a bit of a departure for you and a bold outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138511 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:29:18 +0000 Windchime 1138511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neel--this is beautiful! The red tights look great with your adorable dress, and I love your ankle boots.</p> <p>Okay, I think I figured out why people were staring...you're supposed to wear this outfit to sit on top of a barbed wire fence in a cow pasture, like the model! I'm sure if you did that, no one would even notice!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138491 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:19:26 +0000 In My Joi 1138491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks FAB! I love the contrast of the maroon tights on the winter white I may try this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138490 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:18:11 +0000 Elizabeth P 1138490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure it wasn't a bad stare (what is she DOING?) but a complimentary stare (Wow, look at her, I can't take my eyes away), because you look beautiful.&nbsp; And if you're missing anything, it's a fence to sit on :)</p> <p>Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138486 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:15:05 +0000 Neel 1138486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies for your kind words! &nbsp;I think it was the outfit+make up combo that made heads turn! &nbsp;I needed to buy some make up stuff today. &nbsp;So for the first time in my life I bought foundation, some powder and blush. &nbsp;The SA applied them on me for a trial (and to show me how to use them!)&nbsp;and she did a great job! &nbsp;She also added red lipstick and it was beautiful! &nbsp;I didn't know make up could make such a huge difference! &nbsp;I am not used to make up and stares! &nbsp;So .... overall an uncomfortable experience! &nbsp;Lesson learnt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138464 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:55:40 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1138464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your recreation of this and feel sad that it wasn't better received by those around you. &nbsp;I think meeting those who spoke up with a laugh and something like , "I am trying something new!" &nbsp;or something playful back might help instead of shrinking to the response. &nbsp;It really is a fabulous look and the responses you got were more a compliment than they sounded like.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138459 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:52:46 +0000 Jaime 1138459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great - love the jacket and the boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138456 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:51:07 +0000 merwoman 1138456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ah yes - the down side of looking fabulous is stopping traffic and turning heads. You'll have to get used to it Neel - stunning look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138453 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:48:59 +0000 MuseumGal 1138453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the red tights and light dress, this looks really fresh and pretty.&nbsp; I don't think you look incomplete, although agree with Suz that a red accessory would not have been amiss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138449 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:48:24 +0000 gryffin 1138449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neel - I am so sorry you were uncomfortable but you look gorgeous!!&nbsp; I like the whole outfit as is, but remember only your happiness factor counts.&nbsp; You know the minute you wear something out of the norm, the other mommies are going to stare.&nbsp; You are making them feel underdressed.&nbsp; But you look great!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138444 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:42:50 +0000 Anonymous 1138444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why you turned heads in this -- it looks great! I could also see where it would be frustrating to get that much attention when it's not something you're looking for that particular day.</p> <p>The outfit looks fine to me without adding anything else -- the drama from the high contrast speaks for itself. I could see a narrow belt working, though, like in the inspiration pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138436 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 13:26:13 +0000 Suz 1138436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, &nbsp;I actually think you did a brilliant job of recreating the inspiration look, and from what I can tell, it looks great on you. But it may be that all the contrast made people look a bit more than you felt comfortable with at this time. You know...I like your version even better than the original. Your dark hair would bring it cohesion. You might add a dark red cuff or earrings or something...but it's a fun change! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-attempt-at-winter-white#post-1138418 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 12:54:26 +0000 Neel 1138418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I thought I would get&nbsp;out of my *skinnies and top* rut and wear a dress for a change. &nbsp;The tights and jacket&nbsp;kept me warm enough. &nbsp;I think I should have added a belt. &nbsp;Or may be a scarf to bookend the tights.&nbsp; The outfit feels incomplete to me.&nbsp;I have attached my inspiration pic for you to analyze.</p> <p>With this outfit and a make up buying spree (for my bro's wedding)&nbsp;that included&nbsp;trial of&nbsp;red lips, foundation, blush and mascara&nbsp;at one of the mall beauty stores, I turned way too many heads for comfort! &nbsp;Not good for doing errands and a school run! &nbsp;I had to explain to a few mum friends why I looked like I was coming from a party (because they couldn't stop staring!!)! &nbsp;Embarrassing!</p> <p>All suggestions and improvement ideas are welcome. &nbsp;Thanks for looking! </p>
