Love it!!</p> <p>Denise, the challenge was just to put together an outfit that feels quintessentially "2012" to you! Irony is optional! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-party-like-its-2012-challenge-shift-9-frye-vera-boot#post-761255 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 17:11:29 +0000 rae 761255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, if there was a humorous angle, I must have been too tired to get it! Thank you for saying the outfit is *not* funny, since I was not aiming for that. The jeggings are a faded black wash, so charcoal is pretty much how they read from afar - love how the wash softens brights. </p> <p>Deborah, I don't always start at 5. Once a month, the store has to put things on sale, so everyone has to take a turn coming in super early. </p> <p>Angie, you bet! I am a card-carrying member of Team Sour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-party-like-its-2012-challenge-shift-9-frye-vera-boot#post-761132 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 15:13:29 +0000 tarzy 761132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look amazing, and I love these colors on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-party-like-its-2012-challenge-shift-9-frye-vera-boot#post-761082 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:58:54 +0000 Angie 761082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look deliciously sour! </p> <p>Coming from me - you *know* that's a compliment </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-party-like-its-2012-challenge-shift-9-frye-vera-boot#post-761045 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:06:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 761045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - #2 is just slaying me with it's gorgeousness!

You look so fabulous in neon citrus colors! Like a living mojito! I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-party-like-its-2012-challenge-shift-9-frye-vera-boot#post-760934 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 05:57:41 +0000 CocoLion 760934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those Gap jeggings. Are they black or a sort of charcoal?</p> <p>Was the challenge supposed to be humorous with a "can you believe we wore that" slant? Sorry Rae, this is too chic for that. Even though the bright, neon-y green is pretty '12, the figure flattery, the sleek lines, and the classic moto boots all mean this will stand a longer test of time than, say, an oversized top and 6" platform stilettos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-party-like-its-2012-challenge-shift-9-frye-vera-boot#post-760929 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 05:40:53 +0000 Asingh 760929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such happy colours, Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-party-like-its-2012-challenge-shift-9-frye-vera-boot#post-760903 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 04:48:48 +0000 Caro in Oz 760903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fresh, zesty &amp; cool as..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-party-like-its-2012-challenge-shift-9-frye-vera-boot#post-760820 Tue, 30 Oct 2012 02:39:51 +0000 kellygirl 760820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG you look awesome.

Pic #2 is the version I wore for m7 second 6-hour, 5am shift in a row. The Veras worked nicely for this kind of shift - lots of standing still to reticket newly discounted merch. </p> <p>Hollister jacket - Ebay, DIY dye project<br /> Per Se cotton/cashmere sweater - flea market<br /> Gap 1969 jeggings - Gap<br /> Frye Vera boots - Amazon<br /> Calvin Klein bucket bag - flea market<br /> White watch - Big Lots</p> <p>Splendid thermal - flea market<br /> Turquoise crossbody - YLF swap party </p>
