A little light-colored one.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-bill-cunningham-tribute-with-a-wink-to-inge-who-introduced-him-through-ylf-books-and-films#post-1712792 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 14:25:02 +0000 Beth Ann 1712792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy to see this on my screen! &nbsp;This look is playful chic.

Good eye, Aida, on the lighter coloring as the inspiration photo had black in the print and she wore black pants. That's why, with my lighter coloring, this blouse worked with my love of denim and light blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-bill-cunningham-tribute-with-a-wink-to-inge-who-introduced-him-through-ylf-books-and-films#post-1711627 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 00:28:18 +0000 rachylou 1711627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-bill-cunningham-tribute-with-a-wink-to-inge-who-introduced-him-through-ylf-books-and-films#post-1711624 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 00:16:22 +0000 Aida 1711624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki you are too cute! Love your Bill Cunningham inspired outfit, that boater is perfect for you. Clever to have the shirt converted to a kimono, and the colors and pattern are lovely and soft. I'm always drawn to those watercolor prints. Also love how your version has a white/light blue base -- so summery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-bill-cunningham-tribute-with-a-wink-to-inge-who-introduced-him-through-ylf-books-and-films#post-1711623 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 00:15:42 +0000 Elizabeth P 1711623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I call you cute?&nbsp; Cuz you are!&nbsp; <br />Bill Cunningham was amazing, wasn't he. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-bill-cunningham-tribute-with-a-wink-to-inge-who-introduced-him-through-ylf-books-and-films#post-1711621 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 00:10:19 +0000 Vicki 1711621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When NYC street photographer, Bill Cunningham, died earlier this summer, there was a wonderful article on his amazing work capturing the vibrant and ever-changing fashion scene in Manhattan.</p> <p>I would have never known about Bill had Inge not mentioned a documentary about his life, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NYqiLJBXbss">film trailer</a> for: "Bill Cunningham New York" (2010).</p> <p>and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/26/style/bill-cunningham-legendary-times-fashion-photographer-dies-at-87.html">article</a>&nbsp;NYTimes: Bill Cunningham, Legendary Times Fashion Photographer, Dies at 87</p> <p>One of his photos (date unknown, and I'm guessing it was a few years ago or more), really turned my head in such a way that I was inspired to recreate the woman's look (photo 3).</p> <p>The woman's outfit seemed perfect for summer! All I had to do was find and buy a straw boater (Bought on Amazon. Check.) and a pretty fluid kimono-like blouse in a nice print (one jumped out at me at T J Maxx and I bought the blouse in a much larger size). I also had to take the blouse to my dry cleaner's and have the tailor cut it down the center to create a cardigan effect since it was a pullover. Done. </p> <p>The light blue in the blouse matches my Gap 1969 straight skimmers that Angie recommended in Spring, 2015. I've been wearing this often, with and without the hat, and enjoy it each time. I add either my Lush scoop-neck top (Nordstrom) or a white tank underneath and wear sandals or cage heels.</p> <p>So, here's my summer look, courtesy of Bill and Inge! I hope everyone's enjoying themselves no matter what season you're in. Thanks for taking a look. P. S. If anyone can explain to me again how to embed the links with a keyword, I'll make the edit.
