I like the oxfords especially. I like these quite a bit and I have to admit I don't particularly like the look and haven't seen many that make me wish I owned a pair. These are great though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688426 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 00:41:34 +0000 Anonymous 688426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"The formula is simple: (the ubiquitous) skinnies + top + scarf + chunky bracelet."</p> <p>Genius formula...sheer perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688331 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 22:53:30 +0000 Jonesy 688331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous! That blue is so gorgeous, the jeans fit perfectly, and the scarf, oxfords, and bag are terrific. This looks soft and comfy, but chic too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688328 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 22:45:13 +0000 Ornella 688328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, Laura and JR.</p> <p>Jeanne, the same as I wrote to Denise - just go for them. I wonder how I could ever live without shoes like this. I love them so much I occasionally have the itch to buy the second pair for when these start falling apart... which will hopefully be in a very distant future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688323 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 22:39:42 +0000 Jjsloane 688323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely to see your gorgeousness. You're inspiring me not to be afraid of my oxfords (although still too hot for me to wear closed footwear and I picture mine with jeans mostly) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688231 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 21:28:54 +0000 JR 688231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Total winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688155 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 20:32:08 +0000 morethanbeige 688155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE this outfit, Ornella.

Not to mention more comfortable. I love your 3Fs, I may adopt that as the guideline for the future outfits ;-)</p> <p>Denise, my take on your concern is - you are not too short/tall to wear any kind of footwear that is comfortable Go for them - the cons will outweigh all the cons pretty quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688115 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 20:06:13 +0000 catgirl 688115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fab formula and one of my fave MOTG looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688112 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 20:04:35 +0000 Lisa 688112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab "twinset" with the scarf, just lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688107 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 20:00:00 +0000 Kate 688107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh Ornella, you look gorgeous! I particularly love the scarf and the oxfords. It's so hot here in DC, that I can barely force myself to put on clothes, much less long pants and tops with sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688072 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 19:33:29 +0000 CocoLion 688072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could wear oxfords! I fear I am just too short for them. You look great and I am going to copy this outfit formula when it's not 105 F (over 40 C). We are having a hot, hot summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688059 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 19:22:39 +0000 Suz 688059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ornella. That is all excellent information! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688053 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 19:17:24 +0000 Scarlet 688053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable!

Period. 688049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit! Your oxfords look great with this. I've been eyeing pairs lately, and I think this may push me over the edge to buying some. I love how fun, functional and fabulous this is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688031 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 18:51:00 +0000 Angie 688031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>We will take whatever Ornella-fabness we can get so don't worry about your infrequent WIW postings :)</p> <p>Love the new formula you gorgeous creature! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688029 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 18:49:50 +0000 Ornella 688029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz and Kirti :-)</p> <p>Suz, the bag is by Esprit. I am amazed by its quality and will happily purchase another one by the same brand when I find suitable. Back in England I didn't have Esprit available nearby, so used to shop when visiting London, but in Germany the brand is a lot more present in all kinds of stores, which makes me happy. My husband's best tee shirts are by Esprit too, the colors seem to stay for years and there's no stretching, twisting or other unpleasantries normally experienced with cotton garments.<br /> But, back to the bag, here are no signs of wear and tear at all, and if there is one workhorse in my wardrobe, this is it. It is not leather btw, but obviously some quality PU. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688025 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 18:42:25 +0000 Kirti 688025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, I love the scarf </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688023 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 18:40:45 +0000 Suz 688023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, you look wonderful! This is a tried and true formula for me, too. You wear it SO well. </p> <p>What is your x-body bag? I am always on the lookout for good ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-one-of-my-formulas#post-688018 Wed, 08 Aug 2012 18:38:28 +0000 Ornella 688018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello everyone,<br /> I wish so badly to participate more with WIWs, but that is quite tricky. Taking a decent photo takes several attempts anyway, and the time when I'm ready for the photo-shoot usually overlaps with the time someone is calling me to hurry up, so I simply have to skip some pleasures.</p> <p>But, I managed to snap one outfit today and I'm sharing it. It's nothing revolutionary, but is what I feel good in and need style-wise right now. It is practical, so I can move freely and without fears of exposures of any sort, with a bit of jazzing up, to reflect I do enjoy and put some thought in the process of getting dressed.</p> <p>The formula is simple: (the ubiquitous) skinnies + top + scarf + chunky bracelet.</p> <p>We've had slight overcast today, so 3/4 sleeves were the right choice. I've added the lightweight scarf on the same color (same brand, same season, this is my unexpected "twin set") with white trimmings which nicely break up the solid color. The kind of bracelet I'm wearing is what I find MOTG's best friend - chunky, not loose, dangly and don't get in the way, plus they can even be a toy/construction element when you need to buy yourself a few seconds of piece and quiet when you're out and about.</p> <p>I love my new oxfords so much that I only don't wear them when the weather is too hot. My reliable cross body bag has proved to be worth its weight in gold - it is the right size, not too big to tempt me to overload it and lug things around, but not too small so the necessities fit in very nicely.</p> <p>Thanks for stopping by </p>
