Hunters arrived for spring but I'm afraid spring will have wait until more winter weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1451005 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 14:23:21 +0000 Daria 1451005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AM - I was thinking about those gorgeous Hunter boots when getting out of the house today in the sleet. Preppy or not, you look awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1451002 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 14:20:16 +0000 jackiec 1451002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, AM! What a nice way to remember your mom. Those are classic pieces in my opinion. Great Hunter boots as well. You look classic, simple, put together, with quality pieces and great lines. I like your hair like that too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450974 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 11:43:40 +0000 AM 1450974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>CocoLion: </b>Yes, mom was a&nbsp;stylish woman and a great shopper. I was robbed when she passed. We had so much more styling and shopping to do together. I love how you describe her pieces as "Those pieces are standing up to time. Clean modernism is classic, like Elsa Perretti or Nambe bowls." Absolutely!</p> <p>Haha. You can call me whatever it is that you see. Call it like you see it. Big thanks!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450916 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 04:26:34 +0000 CocoLion 1450916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes you were ahead of the curve with Alexis Bittar! &nbsp;Mom must have been a stylish woman. &nbsp;Those pieces are standing up to time. &nbsp;Clean modernism is classic, like Elsa Perretti or Nambe bowls.</p> <p>I do see the Hunters as preppy. &nbsp;Because the roots of preppy are English after all. &nbsp;Again, NOT a pejorative coming from me! &nbsp;Brands like J Crew and Madewell are preppy too. &nbsp;And very fashionable right now. &nbsp;But if you want me to stop saying that in your threads, I can! &nbsp;;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450914 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 04:20:29 +0000 AM 1450914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Karie: </b><b></b>Thanks.

Doing without is really not fun. Thank you! It felt good. I'm making more note about how I feel per your suggestion.<b><br /></b><br /><b>Aida:&nbsp;</b>Thanks for all your observations and comments. Feeling very good about having some rainwear, finally. "The black Hunters are a good classic" -- that's precisely why I thought I need to have them. And I can totally appreciate that your pearl white Hunters are&nbsp;"even nice to just look at ^^" But I don't know what those little triangles mean. Ugh. I'm such a novice. Thanks again!<b><br /></b><br /><b>retail girl:&nbsp;</b><span>I'm actually becoming okay with descriptors that are more of&nbsp;personas (thanks to <b>Angie</b>) or are broad&nbsp;style descriptors. And you are correct,&nbsp;nothing wrong with that. I'm more interested in descriptors that are focused on process, form and design (collected, minimal, elongated, etc.) I feel like I can more readily use these as guides as they feel more precise. You're making me really think. Thank you! And so glad that you share in wearing your mom's pieces. It really is just so special.</span><b><br /></b><br /><b>Firecracker:&nbsp;</b>Thanks! "Modern" and "Practical" feel very good. And it was a real pleasure to wear my mom's pieces. Again, thank you.</p> <p><b>gauche: </b>I definitely feel like I have simple taste but that I try to make the most of these details. Glad to know that this reads as "quality." I just google "kate moss glastonbury." Than you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450859 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 02:34:42 +0000 Angie 1450859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450853 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 02:30:49 +0000 Jaime 1450853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear those Hunters without hesitation. Your jewelry from your mother is lovely - Alexis Bittar is one of the very few jewelry designers that have caught my eye. I'd be happy to meet you in that tavern when we solve the time/space issues! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450850 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 02:26:39 +0000 Karie 1450850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool outfit and appropriate for this awful weather (I'm listening to&nbsp;that sleet/freezing rain pelting my window right now). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450836 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 02:15:05 +0000 Anonymous 1450836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get a strong feeling&nbsp;of <b>quality</b> in your outfits. Simple things, but the best of their kind, like the Hunters and the Bittars. Just google "kate moss glastonbury" and you'll&nbsp;see what <b>appropio</b> means about the former. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450834 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 02:11:18 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1450834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfit, AM. I like how the asymmetric sweater and the super cool jewelry really modernize the look. Your raincoat and boots are fun and stylish as well as practical. Thanks for sharing the closeup and story of your jewelry; it's so nice to have these beautiful pieces that are full of meaning, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450816 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 01:24:34 +0000 retailgirl 1450816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look, I still think your look has an element of preppy...nothing wrong with that, as long as you aren't wearing pants embroidered with whales! (but that is a good look for some people!) And I love the jewelry. My mother died 25 years ago, but when I need to feel strong or need good luck , I wear her wedding band. It connects me to her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450773 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 23:19:25 +0000 Aida 1450773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab tunic! Looks nice and arty styled with the skirted leggings. As one who lives in a very wet place, I think it's great that we've got cute rain wear options these days. The black Hunters are a good classic and should last you a good long while. I have a pair in pearl white that are too big (too tall, too wide in the calf) that I just can't seem to let go of even though I can't really wear them. They're even nice to just look at ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450733 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 22:32:59 +0000 Caro in Oz 1450733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF -&nbsp;t's great to have practical clothes that work for our climates.&nbsp;Lovely tribute to your mother. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450730 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 22:24:52 +0000 Sara L. 1450730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the asymmetric sweater!&nbsp; The boots look good to me but I know nothing about rain boots since I live in a desert and it rains so seldom that I have no rain gear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450721 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 22:00:42 +0000 AM 1450721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>approprio.</b></p> <p>And so nice to have another perspective on Hunters. I actually used the word preppy because <b>rachylou</b> had described them as preppy and she just threw hers out -- and I was just getting mine. And then I had to go into therapy with <b>Angie </b>after being called preppy a few days back. She really does give good therapy. And I thought I was getting these right by calling them&nbsp;"preppy" and I was dealing with my issues... Back to therapy.</p> <p>I'm going to ask the question because I live under a rock. How did Kate Moss make them cool? I have no clue. I guess I should just google this.</p> <p>I'm glad that these have imagery and meaning beyond what I realized. And yes, summer music festival! Bring me warm weather.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450717 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 21:53:08 +0000 approprio 1450717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely classic look! Rainwear is so hard to get right. And your mother's jewellery is gorgeous. I'm right behind&nbsp;that today&nbsp;as you can imagine.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think Hunters are preppy at all. They're a Brit classic, and although we have plenty of jokes about green wellies, we should all&nbsp;thank&nbsp;Kate Moss for making such a practical item cool. Best thing for a music festival in the English summer for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rainy-asymmetrical-inspired-by-laurie#post-1450697 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 21:06:41 +0000 AM 1450697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are headed to a tavern tonight with friends. It's&nbsp;rainy (and possibly sleeting). I was inspired by Laurie's skirted legging with asymmetrical sweater.&nbsp;And my preppy black Hunters just arrived. I purchased these Hunters and the raincoat as rainy day staples that had been missing from my wardrobe for too long.</p> <p>The Alexis Bittar set that I am wearing&nbsp;is a small tribute to my mother. It's hard to remember but I think both the earrings and the bangle were both hers. This is a very, very rare occurrence where I felt like I might have been early to have worn Bittar (probably 15 years ago). And then I&nbsp;shared this designer with my mom. The earrings were most definitely my mothers.&nbsp;I lost my mother in 2007 but wearing her jewelry keeps her close.&nbsp; </p>
