Never say never I guess!<br />Lisa, mesh taupe&nbsp;sweater and blush khakis have a date together in a near future :-)<br />Vicky, BB striped tee is very pleasant quality. I usually find it hard to find metallic which do not feel scratchy and rough but this one is very soft. Silver stripes are semi-opaque and it adds texture as well. <br />Inge, looks like we are twins several times over now Too bad I could not overcome the plastic-y feel of the&nbsp;Mural bomber :-(<br />Marley, &nbsp;honestly I would like silky slouchy blush trousers more than khakis but<br />those work pretty well too. I remember that not everybody was a fan but it was a chance for me to jump on the pastel trend and I am glad I did: I would not have worn these khakis as many times if they were different color. The belt in #3 is some no name brand from bargain store for $5 - it is bonded leather in&nbsp;purplish taupe&nbsp;snakeskin &nbsp;pattern. My mom got it for herself and when I saw it I just had to get it too - and it was the last one&nbsp;and just the right size for wearing with pants. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff/page/2#post-1009117 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 20:00:26 +0000 Marley 1009117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Sveta - these are all great!&nbsp; I love the way your belt in #2 mirrors the beads/pattern of your necklace - very cool detail.&nbsp; I'm glad that you got the VC wide-striped skirt - it looks really good on you!&nbsp; Also, if I remember right, I was one of the naysayers about those GAP blush colored pants - and I was <i>completely wrong!</i>&nbsp;&nbsp; You look great in the pants - the whole outfit just makes me smile.&nbsp; I really like you in the softer colors - something that I would not have expected, but they are very flattering on you!&nbsp; The belt in #3 is <i>won</i>derful!&nbsp; I've been looking for a belt like that for ages and can't find one.&nbsp; What is the brand?&nbsp; (if you don't mind sharing.)&nbsp; I think that all of these outfits are just perfect - you really did a good job at NAS!&nbsp; Thank you for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff/page/2#post-1009105 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:48:37 +0000 Inge 1009105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Happy sigh*, these are all perfection, Sveta, and you bet I am taking notes here!<br />The VC tube skirt in the bold stripe (I got it too;-) is crazy fantastic on you, super flattering and I love how you've styled it here.<br />I also can't stop admiring the Pleione faux wrap shirt on you, so glad that you went with the red &amp; black stripe, it looks amazing!<br />Those blush trousers with the white button-down, stunning, stunning, stunning. (I'm holding thumbs for that tunic to go on sale immediately:-)<br />And so are the yellow blazer and mesh jumper outfit. You make everything you wear look so effortlessly elegant, Sveta. So inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff/page/2#post-1009099 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:44:32 +0000 No Fear of Fashion 1009099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous buys. I like everyone of them.<br /> I also have a black and white horizontal skirt and love it.<br /> The polka dots over the white blouse is a find. And I think the cross-over in the last picture is supposed to be like that as it looks pretty good, not to say perfect.<br /> Greetje </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff/page/2#post-1009092 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:37:34 +0000 Vicki 1009092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello twin, as in #1 (skirt) and #5 (shirt), but you've got me beat on style!!!</p> <p>Wow, Sveta. &nbsp;This is a Sveta's New Stuff Tutorial, and I'm taking notes and making copy shots as fast as I can.</p> <p>Love them all and I can't begin to pick a favorite. &nbsp;I love the light-patterned textures you've chosen in a few of these, which are a knockout. &nbsp;The Brooks Brothers&nbsp;striped tee is quite interesting to me; how does it feel and I'm intrigued by the shimmery nature of the silver. &nbsp;No more road-testing needed! &nbsp;Full speed ahead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff/page/2#post-1008664 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 02:00:08 +0000 Ariadne 1008664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything - I am especially partial to #1. &nbsp;Great new finds! &nbsp;You've honed your style so well; everything is very "you." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff/page/2#post-1008612 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 00:49:11 +0000 Lisa 1008612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great week.&nbsp; #1, I like this as is and would love to see this look with an edgier shoe to echo the studs on the top here.&nbsp; The current shoe is very soft compared to the rest of the outfit.&nbsp; #2-The shirt is gorgeous here, I hope you can snatch up another one. #3-I don't mind the top here with trousers, maybe because it looks like you tucked it in? #4-Great idea to mix the white and taupe here, you really see the details in the top with this combination.&nbsp; Have you worn this top with the light colored trousers in #2 yet?&nbsp; #5-This is a fun striped top, I'm looking forward to how you remix this piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff/page/2#post-1008547 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 21:08:01 +0000 CocoLion 1008547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the first time I cannot pick a favorite of the week, because they are all too fantastic. &nbsp;I will say, you look great in the pink and white combo - love you in those soft colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff/page/2#post-1008517 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 20:22:00 +0000 jayne 1008517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 2 are just wowza stunning!&nbsp; love them all, but 1 and 2 stopped me in my tracks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff#post-1008200 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 03:44:18 +0000 Karie 1008200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't even think I can pick a favorite, they're all fantastic!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff#post-1008146 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 01:22:39 +0000 Sveta 1008146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At last I got to the computer to respond :-)<br />Thank you all very much for your kind words and comments!<br />Joy, the striped top in #3 is not tucked in - it is not long enough for tucking! The bottom band just barely covers my belt and rides up as soon as I move my arms I really wish it was 1-2" longer...but it works with skirts really well so I should not be greedy, right?:-)<br />Firecracker, you cannot see it in the picture but this mesh sweater has a silver lurex tread in it so silver flats are really no-brainer and matchy-matchy with it ;-)<br />Lyn D, I actually like the mesh sweater better over the shirt than over a tank: it looks more streamlined this way.<br />Jeanie, I don't know if Gap khakis are the same, I bought mine back in the spring. I did sized up one size for the slouch and I really like the tapered legs. Mind that my calves are pretty big so they may not be as tapered if your calves are on the thin side.<br />Kristin, actually I don't think I would wear and enjoyed these khakis as much as I did this summer if they were of a safer neutral color: blush is kind of unexpected here and I really like it!&nbsp; Before buying them I did a research and created&nbsp; a Pinterest board on how to wear blush pink. After I did this I realized that they have potential to work with my wardrobe and I took the plunge!<br />This is <a href="http://pinterest.com/svetaddd/how-to-wear-blush-pink/" rel="nofollow">my Pinterest board </a>if you are interested.<br />Suz, I am&nbsp; &nbsp;so&nbsp; glad you made me to keep the Foxcroft shirt, you are it's fairy godmother now!:-)<br />Angie, you are too kind, thank you!<br />merwoman,&nbsp;your comment about handbags is really funny because I often feel I don't use them enough in outfit creation and I don't have a good selection...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff#post-1008139 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 01:19:02 +0000 Jaime 1008139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really gorgeous all around.

Posting and running should be the least of your concerns. </p> <p>You launch me into orbit withth all your outfits. All absolutely killer beautiful. I cannot pick a favourite - well, maybe #3 if I had to choose. I will also add that it's spectacular to see you rock that bold striped skirt. xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff#post-1007679 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 12:33:16 +0000 Suz 1007679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfits, Sveta, and it is wonderful to see your new wardrobe items in action! Love them all but the shirt with the taupe sweater is inspired.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wish I had a suggestion for the striped top -- as you know, mine does the same, so it is hard to say. Sometimes I think it is the positioning of the snap in such items. But I'm not 100% sure. I once had a sweater that did this, too, and it had button closing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-road-testing-my-new-stuff#post-1007673 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 12:26:52 +0000 Vickie KY 1007673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of the outfits.

I love #1 , you can tell how happy you feel in the skirt. #5 is so elegant. I also love the taupe tones with yellow and white in #3.
