As for my python booties for #5 - they would look terrific but they are literally killers on ice and snow - no traction whatsoever :-(<br />Lisa, you have a point - #5 may be not bad but it feels the least like myself... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102814 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 16:42:35 +0000 Lisa 1102814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this week's outfits, and I can see why you didn't swap bags, it goes very well with each look, probably because metallics work as great neutrals.&nbsp; I don't mind outfit #5, the boots here give it a rugged vibe although I can see why you wouldn't care for the look, there is no crisp element in that outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102742 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 15:08:50 +0000 lyn67 1102742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week Sveta! I love it all!!! YLF and are always an inspiration!<br /> Thanx for posting!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102662 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 09:19:20 +0000 Lyn D. 1102662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving the way you have layered under the LBD, and the purple is so lovely.<br />Goes without saying that I adore your blue knit dress too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102629 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 05:12:41 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1102629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fanastic week of outfits! &nbsp;Number 1 is my favorite! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102619 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 04:38:46 +0000 Anonymous 1102619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful all week.&nbsp; My favorites are 1 and 5.&nbsp; On a cold day, especially if snowy, the rugged boots look appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102603 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 03:47:18 +0000 Beth Ann 1102603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite, too.&nbsp; I also needed to see it, because I was beginning to wonder if layering skinnies under dresses was "over."&nbsp; Your look is quite modern and stunning!</p> <p>As for #1 -- I think this would look terrific with your red munro's (bootie twins!).&nbsp; Do you have the snakeskin booties, I think they were Pettys?&nbsp; They'd be glorious here, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102599 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 03:43:53 +0000 Jaime 1102599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first tunic/dress and you look stunning in the white leather jacket. Great week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102582 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 03:24:21 +0000 Sveta 1102582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! It is interesting that you don't think #5 was a failure...maybe it is just does not feel like me to myself? :-)<br />Celia, I do think I like streamlined outfits more and more, it is definitely a shift from just 2 years ago.<br />Amy K, believe me you do not want to see my home outfits: this is something I still need to work on to reach Suz's level!<br />Just for the record I do have more refined booties I could wear in #5 BUT they are not best for cold and ice! I did not feel like changing at work that day so they had to be Borns where I could add sheepskin insole for warmth and which have good traction!<br />Caro, very high standards indeed!<br />Dustt, I think I will wear my white and black dress this week just for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102517 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 01:06:13 +0000 MsMary 1102517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Sveta!&nbsp; Your outfit posts are always a treat and this is no exception!&nbsp; I love the purple booties and tights in #3-4, but I must say my favorite is #5!&nbsp; Cringe no more, my beautiful casual friend!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102514 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 00:57:10 +0000 Angie 1102514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only made it to the first outfit before I had to comment. What a spectacular simple and graphic look. Love you in cobalt and black. Glad the pants are behaving and earning their keep.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102512 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 00:53:33 +0000 Debora 1102512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I am swooning over outfit #1! You looking amazing in cobalt and I love the color blocking. The other three outfits are equally fab. Love the neckline on your sheath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102490 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 00:32:32 +0000 dustt 1102490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta - you look so great in color blocks!! - #1 reminds me a bit of the oh-so-fabulous cream &amp; black dress with the ivory t-neck that I'm still trying to figure out how to do myself!! - and as for #5 - not cringe-worthy in the least - here's what I see - a fabulous neck on that sweater it shows off your beautiful neck&nbsp;- really well fitting jeans - and the cherry on top........ those RED LIPS!! - bravo</p> <p>not to worry - I know you'll find your perfect refine black bootie soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102481 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 00:22:34 +0000 Karie 1102481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I like all of these, even #5 - not cringe worthy at all! My favorite is #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102468 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 23:46:54 +0000 Peri 1102468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's funny, because I was picking 5 as a favorite and then read your discontent with it. I still think it looks good, and my other favorite is 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102466 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 23:43:22 +0000 Anonymous 1102466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sighing in contentment over the blue striped dress. So pretty! I think the last outfit is AWESOME for a snowy day, boot included. And the white jacket is such a bright pop of white in your deep outfit. So fab! You look great Sveta. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102451 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 23:17:38 +0000 Caro in Oz 1102451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is perfect - that blue looks amazing on you. I don't think there are any fails here - you just have very high standards :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102444 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 23:05:20 +0000 Catnip 1102444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are great, but #1 is my favorite... chic, sophisticated and very beautiful.&nbsp; I also like #5.&nbsp; Perhaps more refined booties might look... well, more refined... but sometimes we have to be practical.&nbsp; I think the proportions in #5 are excellent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102360 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:29:42 +0000 Suz 1102360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I actually <b>like</b> #5. So I don't know what that makes me....but I hear you on the booties. It is probably more how it feels than how it looks, though, quite honestly...</p> <p><b>LOVE</b> #1. For all the reasons Gaylene said.&nbsp;</p> <p>That GAP dress was a great purchase as well. You have already worn it quite a lot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102359 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:29:33 +0000 minimalist 1102359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Comfortable, warm, and *safe on the ice* is smug-smile-worthy, plus it looks good in a casual way.</p> <p>But I really do want to see your work-from-home pics. I'm working on homewear capsules atm, and taking pics (at least of outfits laid out) would help to identify a) what's really happening, and b) what's still missing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102349 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 21:19:49 +0000 Kristin L 1102349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see anything cringe-worthy in #5. It's much more casual than the others, but it still looks great on you. The first 3-4&nbsp;look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102279 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 19:58:28 +0000 celia 1102279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 3 first outfits are fabulous .I find it interesting that #1 &amp;2 are more streamlined than 3.Do you feel that your style has moved in that direction ?(Maybe you have talked about this before and I just missed it)</p> <p>The last outfit is a great outfit, it just seems more casual to my eye than the other ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102187 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:44:28 +0000 Gaylene 1102187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, even your cringe-worthy outfit looks pretty good, so I'd say you get an A for this week's outfits. My favorite is the first one because it is so strong and sleek, much like the Flavia-inspired outfits that Ornella has been showcasing this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-dressy-weekalmost#post-1102176 Sun, 01 Dec 2013 17:31:14 +0000 Sveta 1102176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our first serious snow came over the last weekend and stayed through the week. I worked from home on Monday (unlike Suz I don't really want to share my work from home outfits )<br />This was my mostly "dressy" week - because I wore mostly dresses. As you see I was on the team "not changing the bags" this week - used my silver Danier tote every single day...<br /><b>pic 1</b><br />I wore these tall boots for the first time in the snow and discovered that I did not change the worn heels in the spring - boo! Had to get them to the cobbler ASAP...<br />MK cobalt / black dress: it is so short I can wear it with skinnies only<br />NYDJ ponte pants from Angie's NAS picks: they are really great. I wore them 3-4 times already and there is no bagging!<br />Blondo tall boots. </p> <p><b>pic 2</b> <br />Another cold and snowy day so sweater dress feels the right fit.</p> <p>GAP sweater dress<br />Born combat boots - NAS</p> <p><b>pic 3 - 4<br /></b>&nbsp;I have this black ponte sheath dress since 2010 and still love it. The only issue is that the neckline is pretty low for me so I have either layer something under the dress if I intend to take the topper off. However I love this origami neckline so much it makes up for this issue!</p> <p>Tahari black ponte sheath - Winners<br />Danier white moto jacket<br />Orhid turtleneck - Banana Republic<br />Purple Naya booties and purple tights</p> <p><b>pic 5</b><br />-10C in the morning so I ditched the idea of wearing a dress I planned the night before and went with a chunky sweater and combat boots for the traction on the ice. Well, I was not really thrilled with the result. I think this outfit requires more refined booties. I will not wear it like this again! It was comfortable and warm but I cringed when I saw this picture...:-(</p> <p>This was my short-er week - thanks for looking! Any comments and suggestions are very much appreciated as usual. </p>
