(yes, I am screaming here: with delight!!!) You are taking my breath away, wow, such fantastic outfits!!</p> <p>- I think the sweater over the skirt works wonderfully (am taking notes, as I can never seem to get it exactly right). I also love how the colour of your awesome boots works so well with the colour of the skirt. And I’ll never stop loving that trenchcoat, such a brilliant colour. Oh, and I like it with and without the scarf (without is more minimal, it’s fun to have options, isn’t it;-)</p> <p>- Outfit 2: waving to my trouser twin. I saw these irl on you, and know how gorgeous they are on you (I like the sound of the extra length, hurrah for your very talented Mama). They look great with the red booties (you just gave me an idea: I’m going to try my trousers with my burgundy Sam Edelman booties:-), and I really like the pairing with the lilac colour. We need to find you a new lilac button-down, my friend. Oh, and that handbag was such an excellent find.</p> <p>- The culottes outit is just WOW x 1000!!! SO perfect from head to toe. I am SO glad you bought them Sveta, and of course we will not tire of seeing you rock them:-)</p> <p>- I hope you don’t mind, but I want to copy outfit 4 asap. Love how casually elegant the gilet looks paired with the turtleneck (such a fab colour on you). I like both rolls. And are those your new black booties, Sveta? They are stunning too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others/page/2#post-1381844 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 16:31:13 +0000 Carole 1381844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm speechless!

I am blown away!<br />lyn67, you are a sweetie! :-)<br />Angie, I would not have either those culottes nor this gilet if it was not for your gentle nudging and guidance - thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378942 Sun, 19 Oct 2014 18:14:10 +0000 Angie 1378942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming back in to say that #3 and #4 are Killer to the power of Killer. Extra fun to have shopped with you,&nbsp;and seen some of the items in person.&nbsp;</p> <p>AND great to see you sport Friday's ensemble with sass and panache. #2 is beautiful too. Those handbags were a brilliant buy last year. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378937 Sun, 19 Oct 2014 17:50:38 +0000 lyn67 1378937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, 4 gorgeous K2K looks, here!

Is my fave look of all!</p> <p>3. The winte wites in true action,&nbsp;OMG, plonk!</p> <p>4. That gillet is AMAZING! Love the bigger rolls, they look somehow dressier, or best proportionated, dunno.</p> <p>Now off to read the comments:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378815 Sun, 19 Oct 2014 13:21:01 +0000 christieanne 1378815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfits!&nbsp;<br />I love the skirt/tunic formula and it looks so comfortable. Definitely something to keep coming back to for those "unfussy" days.&nbsp;<br />On the jean roll - I am a dissenter because I like the bigger roll at first glance but when I compare the roll just has two vibes - the bigger roll is more rock n roll/RATE and the smaller roll more refined. With the purple sweater, the smaller roll seems more cohesive. If you were to switch up the under layer and do the vest and jeans (say over a black and white screen print?) you could do the larger roll for fun. You can pull it off both ways :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378796 Sun, 19 Oct 2014 11:59:40 +0000 Laura 1378796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great finds you have shopping your closet!!!!!! #1 &amp; #4 look really good on&nbsp; you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378724 Sun, 19 Oct 2014 03:09:11 +0000 Jaime 1378724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been waiting for someone to show off those culottes - gorgeous! I love the long vest too. You look smashing all around Sveta! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378641 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 23:21:21 +0000 Sveta 1378641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much ladies! I am so&nbsp;glad that my first try for the culottes and gilet was not a disaster. :-)<br />Thank you for your opinion on the BF jeans roll. I was never able to get the big roll working for me and maybe I should stop trying and stick with the small roll?<br />I am very happy with my SSIF and NAS loot this year. At NAS I just got 3 things (gilet, plaid skinnies and striped skirt) but I love all of them.<br />My SSIF loot was much bigger and so far so good I have got quite a few wildcards this year (plaid skinnies, gilet, culottes) so hopefully my excitements with them will last until spring and I won't want to go shopping until then &lt;or so she promises herself&gt;<br />Una, I think you are right: it is the style of the culottes which makes them a statement: if they were mainstream they might have been more of essential. I will see how easy it is to pair them with other clothes, footwear and coats: that would make a difference too.<br />Again &nbsp;-thank you so much for your kind comments. As usual they just made my day!:-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378487 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 17:56:47 +0000 catgirl 1378487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I love the sweater and pencil skirt.&nbsp; I have that same tunic sweater but it is so much longer on me - Angie pronounced it too long for a pencil skirt when I wore it that way.&nbsp; But on you it's entirely different!&nbsp; </p> <p>Beautiful all around.&nbsp; </p> <p>Not sure if the purple trench is S or E, but it's stunning!&nbsp; And I wonder if culottes were mainstream, would they transition from one category to the other?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378462 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 17:30:14 +0000 Anonymous 1378462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow is all I can say! &nbsp;You have the height and model figure &nbsp;to rock trendy looks like the culottes and the gilet with such aplomb. &nbsp;And I quite like look #1 with the scarf - unexpected and really adds a finishing touch. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378440 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 17:00:50 +0000 Angie 1378440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You launched me into orbit with #3 and #4, and I'm a little dizzy.

Love the scarf, keep in combo<br /> Those cream culottes look amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378384 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 13:47:22 +0000 always trying 1378384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love all the looks in 1.&nbsp; You wear the tall boots with the skirt sooo well.&nbsp; the sweater is gorgeous.&nbsp; all so well put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378383 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 13:41:18 +0000 lynn 1378383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are absolutely gorgeous in all outfits! I will be the different vote and say that I like #1 best sans scarf. To me, it looks so simply elegant without it. I like the smaller roll on the jeans too. Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378379 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 13:33:43 +0000 marianna 1378379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow… I am looking at each outfit and am wondering if I could replicate… such beautiful combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378376 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 13:30:37 +0000 anne 1378376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you look great Sveta! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378364 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 12:56:08 +0000 Destri 1378364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rock on, Sveta.&nbsp; All look terrific on you.&nbsp; I do like the scarf in #1 as well because I like the contrast up near your face (plus I like the scarf!).&nbsp; Good Idea to taper the plaid pants.&nbsp; I have to remember that since I, too, sometimes have trouble finding pants that are long enough.&nbsp; I can't decide which cuff I like for the boyfriend jeans . . . Oh, and I like the way you balance "unmatchy" (unexpected) with "matchy" (pull-together) in general with your outfits.&nbsp; I will continue to watch and learn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378329 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 10:12:15 +0000 jenanded 1378329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! Especially love the coat in 1 and the berry/fuschia top in 4 just makes you glow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378320 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 09:41:03 +0000 Karie 1378320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another gorgeous set of outfits! I like #1 both ways, with a slight preference for the scarf.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the lilac shirt, and it doesn't look too short with the top you have on. I hear you about shirts being too short under sweaters, though - I have that problem all the time.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love culottes and will never tire of seeing yours in outfits. I like the length that they are now.</p> <p>I like the longer cuff better on the BF jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm still processing the whole statement vs. essentials thing - but I'm pretty sure you got it right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378318 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 09:24:34 +0000 krishnidoux 1378318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, these are all so stylish. It is so good to see you in a skirt now and then! You wear them so well too.</p> <p>1 - You ask if the scarf should come off or not: to me, adding the scarf changes the vibe of the outfit, and both versions (with or without) are darling. I would wear <i>with </i>the scarf with a shorter jacket that adds more volume on top, or bring the eye upward it has a more casual, out and about feel. <i>Without </i>the scarf works best with the shown coat for a long line. It has a gorgeous, chic and simple vibe, very French IMO, and shows off the earrings beautifully.</p> <p>3- The cream culottes are perfect! Perfect length too. With the jacket, the silhouette is totally you. AND you found the perfect footwear for them too.&nbsp;</p> <p>4 - For this lovely long and lean look, my eye prefers the length of jeans cuffs in&nbsp;the middle pic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-relaxed-pencil-skirt-and-others#post-1378315 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 09:09:54 +0000 Anonymous 1378315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Just wow! Each outfit is fabulous. Individual pieces that I love are the culottes, gilet and plaid pants, what great purchases. I don't think I'll get fed up of seeing the culottes.</p> <p>&nbsp;I agree with Denise re-bf roll.</p>
