[Bonus for adorable poses!]</p> <p>I read this after your post on Sally's "black rutting" thread. </p> <p>You wrote there that your outfits with black now *feel* intentional vs a default...well let me tell you, they also LOOK intentional, polished, fun, creative (+ insert all the compliments from upthread)!</p> <p>Signed, Volunteering to Watch Your Closet When You Travel (No Really You Can Trust Me) </p> <p>;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-red-week-for-my-first-wiw/page/2#post-297148 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 18:55:24 +0000 Ornella 297148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Kelly: thanks. I love that you love 3 out of my 5 looks, that's a great passing rate :)</p> <p>@Lori: you're very kind, thanks.</p> <p>@Aida: not surprised you like my cardigan You do wonders with stripes yourself and all are very inspiring.</p> <p>@Isabel: your words are humbling. It's nice to read them in the space I share with so many beautiful (and, most important, real!) women. </p> <p>@Marley: After seeing you in that stunning red dress from the swap, I can only say I can't wait for your take on the Red week.</p> <p>@MaryK: When these words come from someone of your SQ, I am almost doing cartwheels myself.</p> <p>@san: happy to share my style corner with anyone from this community :)</p> <p>@Sveta: some of your enthusiasm had filtered through to me I must say and I could not resist the temptation any longer. </p> <p>@Jonesy: thank you for the hint I'll study Mary Tyler Moore a bit now, yay!</p> <p>@Reneeb: your comment is so sweet, thank you. I was actually reading a magazine yesterday and had checked "look good at any age" editorial and was wondering when is the time to start looking to the age group 40+. I might have a couple more years to spare, but could look into job opportunities in that area (this thread has lifted my confidence up there somewhere... just below the clouds), lol. </p> <p>@Astrid: thanks. Yes, go for the red dress - but wait for the right one. You'll recognise it when you see it. And then love it like I love mine :)</p> <p>@yublocka: thanks my Contact-fellow :)</p> <p>@Lynne: you are most welcome and thank you.</p> <p>Thank you all. I have never posted my photos on-line and have been at war with the clothes most of my life, so to get this kind of response from the people who are inspirational in more ways than just style-wise and who actually did spare time to have a look and share their thoughts is really mind-blowing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-red-week-for-my-first-wiw/page/2#post-297046 Sat, 12 Feb 2011 15:28:52 +0000 Lynne 297046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, THANKYOU for overcoming your shyness and sharing your fantastic style! 3 and 5 are my faves of this fabulous collection, and I LOVE your idea of a theme for the week.....so cool!

I want to copy it - and I live in So. CAL! I also LOVE #3 and #1 - but all are beautiful on you! Thanks so much for posting! (and please continue!)

Sorry about the first photo, I had to edit the post and being newbie to anything to do with the photos I had clicked something I shouldn't have. I think it's fixed now.</p> <p>@Polly, you're very kind, thanks. What a first response to my post! It is more than I could have hoped for.</p> <p>@Una: You're so right, I do a lot of black/white/red in fact, great attention to detail.</p> <p>@Sally: I love these shoes too! They cheer me up and are so comfortable, a winning combination.</p> <p>@MsMaven: great to see how you read each individual outfit. It's exactly the kind of feedback I love reading for any wiw and what I find so constructive and motivating. But to think that anyone would mention 'copy' with my style, that is an amazing compliment :)</p> <p>@Barbara: thank you. I have finally come to my senses and realized that I am not an earthy type and that there is a good reason why people always comment on my looks when I wear red. But, it has probably something to do with the age and confidence too, while I found olives and browns too easy to hide behind, now I'm at a place in my life when I'm happy with the things just as they are and I want to express that with my clothes. What better color than red </p> <p>@Inge: I am in love with this dress for it's simplicity and quality too. Thank you for your kind words. Regarding Oliveoyl comment, I work in the IT industry and am used to wonderfully complex technical minds that sometimes express the simplest things in the most unexpected ways. The same guy called me Mrs Claus when I wore this dress with the white top and wide black belt... he was right though, it was my Christmas outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-red-week-for-my-first-wiw#post-296492 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 20:30:53 +0000 Inge 296492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful surprise! Thank you for posting these pictures and for telling us your real name (and the story behind it, beautiful).<br /> And such beautiful outfits, you've had a marvelous week if you ask me. You look fantastic in the black, white and red combos. I'm a huge fan of stripes, so outfit 1 really appeals to me, but I also adore that fab red dress in outfit 3 (a bit retro, love it).</p> <p>We absolutely need to see more of your fantastic style!</p> <p>(I'm still smiling about your colleague and the Oliveoyl remark;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-red-week-for-my-first-wiw#post-296491 Fri, 11 Feb 2011 20:29:01 +0000 Barbara 296491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! You are beautiful! Red is certainly fab on you. </p>
