Your tuxedo trousers are way cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1072608 Sun, 03 Nov 2013 01:26:07 +0000 Sveta 1072608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the comments!<br />I am glad the "nurse" dress was not a complete bust. Cannot trust my hubby style remarks: he also said: unexpected combination of black and white" What? It is a classic combination, not unexpected...but I think he really meant "bold" :-)<br />I did not even think of dots of the sweater repeated by dots of the booties in #1, it was not by design for sure :-)<br />Suz, I agree, it is hard to wear white dress in &nbsp;winter with tights. I have a pin with white dress and black opaque tights and booties I like but I am not sue I can pull it off myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1072436 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 22:36:10 +0000 Caro in Oz 1072436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF in all of these.&nbsp;I have so much love for #2. It's what I think of as a classic Sveta look (that's a compliment). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1072385 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:41:00 +0000 Amy 1072385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, the "nurse" outfit is my favorite </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1072367 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 21:06:53 +0000 Lyn D. 1072367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is my fav. too!<br />The turtle neck with the jacket neck-line is so beautiful together.<br />When I was Nursing I didn't look like #3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1072227 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 16:42:28 +0000 Anonymous 1072227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of these. I don't see a nurse at all! </p> <p>I am going to copy your 4th look, I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1072213 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 16:20:02 +0000 Aquamarine 1072213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all fantastic, but #2 blows me away. You look like a model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1072177 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:26:16 +0000 Shirley 1072177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I love the trench.&nbsp; The iridescent hue always attracts me but it never looks good on me.&nbsp; But it's gorgeous on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1072175 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:25:35 +0000 Parsley 1072175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfits- all of them, Sveta!<br />Brilliant idea to wear the sweater over your dress! I love that look on you.<br />The striped cross-over top is so gorgeous on you. I like it both with and without the jacket. And, OH, that trench is fabulous!<br />While I get the difficulty of styling light colors in colder weather, I totally think the white and black dress works. Maybe hubby's eye just needs to adjust to the look.<br />I love the new tux pants on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1072168 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 15:16:23 +0000 Angie 1072168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun are you, Ms. Dotty-Stripe-Checked-Delight.

I don't see nurse in #3 either.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1072124 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 14:18:42 +0000 Emily 1072124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is my absolute favourite, followed closely by #3. &nbsp;The blouse and sheath read as a long sleeved dress to me, I think they are very cleverly layered. &nbsp;I really like the choice of brown boots and nude hose. &nbsp;</p> <p>Also, your outerwear is all so fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1072113 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 14:08:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1072113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in LOVE with the polka dot sweater over the red dress outfit. Absolutely brilliant and gorgeous!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1072005 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 08:41:41 +0000 Ornella 1072005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, so interesting and feminine, all of them.&nbsp;You always pull of off such different looks in a span of a just few days, yet they all look You. I'm sure those style spies at your office keep being&nbsp;puzzled by the size of your wardrobe :-D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1071957 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 04:04:48 +0000 Deborah 1071957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Im sure I must have seen your leather trench before but WOW. &nbsp;It is stunning. &nbsp;#2 is my fave here but all look amazing and I don't think I have every met a nurse as stylishly uniformed as you in your outfit. &nbsp;Gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1071952 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 04:00:27 +0000 Marmee 1071952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're all fab, and I don't think you look like a nurse at all! What about black boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1071933 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 03:30:39 +0000 Beth Ann 1071933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunners, all around!&nbsp; #3 is not at all nurselike, and I love the way you've styled it.&nbsp; #1 is vibrant and fun -- love the echo of 'dots" on you booties, too.&nbsp; I would copy every one of these, except I'd never expect to be able to match the fabness of the originals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1071882 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 02:47:21 +0000 MsLuna 1071882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit #2 is killer! I love the colour combination and the silhouette.</p> <p>Not sure why your hub says you look like a nurse in #3, but you don't. It's a nice sporty look!</p> <p>Love the slouchiness of #4 and 5.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1071864 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 02:29:31 +0000 Suz 1071864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like a nurse?? Hmmm. Not to my eye. I love the dress!&nbsp;</p> <p>But I completely understand the issue about styling in the winter with dresses, especially lighter coloured ones. Even sheer hose in a dark colour can feel too heavy (especially for me with light hair). Nude is okay (it looks great here) but then as it gets colder they do not provide enough warmth. I cannot layer them like Angie (don't like the feel of them) and anyway, that's not much warmth, either. So, what to do?</p> <p>But back to your fab outfits!&nbsp;</p> <p>Love #1 -- the boots with their spots are a fun echo of the sweater. #2 is gorgeous. #3 is also great. #4 is fab, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polka-dots-stripes-and-checks#post-1071860 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 02:23:39 +0000 Sveta 1071860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like winter is well on the way here: this week I had to scrape ice from my car for the first time! It is really time to pack away the summer stuff now...<br />&nbsp;pic #1<br />I have decided to try <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/10/04/ensemble-flared-skirt-with-cropped-pullover/">Angie's flared skirt and pullover ensemble</a>&nbsp;but instead of skirt to use my fit and flare dress. I think this Only Mine polka dot pullover is the only one I have with a banded bottom, seems like a hole in my wardrobe I really love these animal print booties. At first I was concerned that the color so pale but they really work as neutral and nude with bare legs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Only Mine polka dot pullover - NAS<br />Cranberry Donna Morgan dress - Nordstrom<br />David Tate animal booties<br />Danier leather jacket</p> <p>pic # 2<br />Dry day so <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/10/11/ensemble-flared-legs-with-trendy-tops/">Angie's flared &nbsp;legs with trendy top ensemble</a> felt like the right one. I really want to wear this Pleione top more into cold weather so I layered a tux blazer over it.<br />Pleione striped top - NAs<br />Wide leg trousers - Long Tall Sally<br />Tux blazer - Banana Republic<br />Clarks black booties<br />Danier leather trench</p> <p>pic #3<br />I am not sure if this outfit was a success or a disaster. My hubby told me I look like a nurse in it - too much white. I wanted to wear a textured black hose here but it felt too heavy so I went with the nude. This dress proves to be hard to style in the fall, it was easier in summer. I wonder if it was another shopping mistake...<br />Sorry for a very bad picture quality, had to take them in a badly lighted office.<br />Colorblock sheath - Calvin Klein via Winners<br />Silk blouse - Club Monaco<br />Grey boots -Franco Sarto<br />London Fog trench - NAS</p> <p>pic #4 - 5<br />While it is still relatively warm I decided to bust out my <a rel="nofollow" href="http://us.longtallsally.com/p/tall/7/8-check-pant-03F15">new trousers</a>, They are pretty lightweight so I am going to wear them from April until October. I got them last Saturday and thought they fit perfectly. However wearing them today i realized tat I need to take them in in the waist because they slouch down otherwise and there is no belt loops.&nbsp;I like the mini window pane pattern and tuxedo stripe and other than in the waist they fit really well I think.<br />Tuxedo trousers - Long Tall Sally<br />Cream turtleneck - Banana Republic<br />Python booties - Sam Eldeman<br />Danier leather jacket</p> <p>Thank you for looking and have a great weekend! </p>
