I love that red dress on you, and I think the shorts look is cute too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626467 Wed, 23 May 2012 01:49:19 +0000 ManidipaM 626467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you're the queen of layering!</p> <p>Love what Beth Ann said about de-bombshelling the shorts with layering. It's brilliantly done. Such visual interest, too, in the staggered hemlines and cuff lengths. One of my favourites among all I've seen you post.</p> <p>Inspired layering on the dress too. Love how it is reminiscent of varsity T-shirts with the contrast sleeves on top, but the map bag and long tall boots kick it up a notch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626336 Wed, 23 May 2012 00:00:03 +0000 CocoLion 626336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been fairly absent from the forum and didn't know you got the boots! I'm glad you did, they really suit you. Your work outfit is really sharp. It's office appropriate with many interesting details.</p> <p>But I love you in short-shorts the most! As I said in Nicole's thread, I have no limit to short-short viewing (and I know that could be construed in a dirty old man/lady way). You allow me to live vicariously through your short-shorts so post away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626292 Tue, 22 May 2012 23:08:44 +0000 Aida 626292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both of these Rae! The layering with the dress is lovely, and I really like the cognac accents against the chocolate shirt. And you know I'm a huge fan of your casual summer looks, they're right up my alley (if we had any sun, anyway )! </p> <p>(Pretty sure you're younger than me and I plan to wear my short shorts a couple years longer. All about how they're styled, and you always do a good job of keeping the top/shoes conservatively balanced.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626288 Tue, 22 May 2012 23:04:12 +0000 rae 626288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, a year ago I would *never* have layered a collared shirt under a collared dress - actually, you inspired me when you layered two collared shirts not long ago. And yes, I love me my huaraches!</p> <p>Kiwichik, I agree, the dress was the one misbehaving, but it has fallen in line. :)</p> <p>Beth Ann, I did not think of it that way, but the de-bombshelling does work for the shorts as well as pencil skirt. A little volume here, a lot of coverage there, and the vavoom feels turned way down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626280 Tue, 22 May 2012 22:45:28 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 626280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now those are two extremes!! And they both look great. I like the layering with the shorts. I think the loose fit is what makes them work so well. I also love the color of that dress and am glad it fits again and still has a home in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626275 Tue, 22 May 2012 22:38:11 +0000 Beth Ann 626275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the red dress, Rae. This is classic with a UWP twist! And you rock the shorts. You've de-bomshelled them with your layering on top and the flats. Brava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626261 Tue, 22 May 2012 22:19:12 +0000 Vicki 626261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why all your clothes want to come out and play. From dresses to shorts, you can wear it all. Like Angie, I love your casual look in #3 (nice sunglasses, too). Hope you get seven or eight hours tonight. (Drink something warm and caffeine-free or take Tylenol PM?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626244 Tue, 22 May 2012 22:03:03 +0000 catgirl 626244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking stellar in both of these outfits. I love your casual look so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626228 Tue, 22 May 2012 21:47:07 +0000 nicoleb 626228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Rae! Way to layer @_@ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626224 Tue, 22 May 2012 21:44:59 +0000 Meredith1953 626224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits on you! I love the dress with that shirt under it and the collar peeking out. The shorts look awesome on you and it looks subtly sexy teamed with the sweater and flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626216 Tue, 22 May 2012 21:36:50 +0000 keruchina 626216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in both. I say rock the shorts while you can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626089 Tue, 22 May 2012 18:20:18 +0000 Suz 626089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you were made to wear those shorts and those boots. These are both wonderful looks. The dress is a total K-worthy look, and #3 is adorable. </p> <p>I'm in awe of all your great swap-meet loot! What scores! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626083 Tue, 22 May 2012 18:17:20 +0000 Kiwichik 626083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad your dress behaved itself &amp; grew back to the right size- love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-626035 Tue, 22 May 2012 17:22:10 +0000 Anonymous 626035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Double love for the double collar in #1! That's awesome! You look great in the short shorts. Your legs are fabulous and the way you styled this look there is absolutely NO hint of hoochie, so I love. Are the sandals huaraches? I love me a huarache inspired sandal! So beachy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-625992 Tue, 22 May 2012 16:34:20 +0000 Inge 625992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour combination you have going on with the red dress, Rae, what a stunning outfit. So glad the dress was still in the house:-)<br /> And oh la la, do you rock short shorts or what! That's another gorgeous outfit, love you in green too. And the stripes make it extra fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-625988 Tue, 22 May 2012 16:29:07 +0000 rae 625988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, short(er) shorts sanctioned! </p> <p>Angie, these are the only flats I can get around in for a decent length of time. I am also happy that they have an enclosed toe. </p> <p>Diane, welcome to the forum, and I hope to "see" you around! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-625987 Tue, 22 May 2012 16:28:28 +0000 christieanne 625987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is gorgeous on you! Definitely hold off on the donating and put it in rotation as long as possible. And the shorts. I agree with Shannon - I would be wearing those 24/7 if I could rock them like you do. Flats and the layered t's help "de-bombshell" them a bit if you are thinking they reveal too much. Perfect casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-625979 Tue, 22 May 2012 16:16:25 +0000 Anonymous 625979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm quite new to the forum, but I can already see that you are a very stylish lady! I think 1 and 3 are fab. The layering works really well with the Diesel jacket, that's a lovely casual look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-625970 Tue, 22 May 2012 15:55:52 +0000 Angie 625970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress look is a 10! Being slow with chores has it's benefits.</p> <p>And I'm pinning #3. Nice to see you in flats! KILLER look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-625951 Tue, 22 May 2012 15:26:23 +0000 K. Period. 625951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you look beautiful, as always! Your perfectly-done mixes are so inspiring to me. I love seeing what you are wearing. And short shorts? Well, babe, you look fabulous in them so why not rock the look while you can!?! I love that you paired them with something interesting, but covered. It really makes it look sexy, but not too seductive. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-625934 Tue, 22 May 2012 14:52:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 625934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your casual look in #3 is KILLING me Rae! First off, if I had legs like that I'd probably live in shorts! And you have such a cool vibe going here with the neutral layering and that fab map bag - fabulous!</p> <p>And how lovely that the dress didn't make it out of your home - it looks great on you. Again with the brilliant but not bulky layering. And you know I love that map bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sgt-rae-battles-insomnia-bonus-casual-pics#post-625930 Tue, 22 May 2012 14:49:42 +0000 rae 625930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even after taking my melatonin last night, I only slept about four hours... but I haven't crashed yet, and I got lots done this morning. Called into Ebay about my mobile access not working, sewed a closed a part of this dress that gaped, packaged up some sold items...</p> <p>For some reason, everything in my closet wanted to be worn at once today - Nexx blouse, paisley skirt, Steampunk boots, red dress... I finally settled on the dress with the boots, since I very recently did NOT fit into this dress and had it in the donate pile. WELL, thank goodness I am lazy with my chores, because it fits again! I love that it has a collar and really dig the double collar effect with a blouse layered under. </p> <p>Also included is a *very* casual outfit worn out for pizza and grocery shopping with Hubs. These shorts are usually beach shorts, but it was warm and kind of humid last night. It may not be your cup of tea, but I felt fine. I probably won't be able to wear these much longer, so I'm doing it while it's still a gray area in my mind. </p> <p>Chocolate shirt - swap meet<br /> Red AT dress - swap meet<br /> Vintage rifle strap - gun store<br /> Timberland Marge Wood boots - Ebay<br /> Map bag - swap meet<br /> Splendid green leopard shirt - swap meet<br /> J Crew striped tank - swap meet<br /> Free People shorts - swap meet<br /> Diesel Jacket - Swap meet<br /> Softspots sandals - Coward shoes (online) </p>
