What a testimony to the great state of your wardrobe Sveta. It is serving you, instead of you serving it, and that's the way it should be. Hope you get a break this next week....well at least one kind of work will be traded for another.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love that red pencil skirt on you. And since ever since&nbsp;Suz mentioned it on one of her threads, I'm really honing in on how each piece of clothing you own is perfectly tailored (lucky you, by your mum) and how much of a difference it makes in you style quotient. Sometimes taking in something a tich or shortening a skirt to just the right spot makes ALL the difference between looking borderline-dumpy and looking stylish. I'm taking notes!&nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035681 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 16:11:35 +0000 catgirl 1035681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock those BB shirts!&nbsp; I am impressed at how cohesive this is - there is some white in every outfit except the first one.&nbsp; I still like the grey blazer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035674 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 16:07:44 +0000 Day Vies 1035674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before I started commenting I had to mark as a favorite. I love that metallic bag and your use of color and prints. If I worked with you, I'd love to see you come in every morning. Your outfits are delightful and make me happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035556 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 13:32:22 +0000 Eliza 1035556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow- I think I could use your "look book" for inspiration. You are gifted with the use of&nbsp;proportions and elegant lines. &nbsp;Love three and you rock that red skirt. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035546 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 13:11:33 +0000 catherine 1035546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits continue to inspire me.&nbsp; Keep them coming, please.&nbsp; All perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035530 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:45:45 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1035530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, this is amazing!&nbsp; You look gorgeous!&nbsp; What a great reminder that classic can be so chic and sexy, and not boring </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035525 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:24:17 +0000 Sveta 1035525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the comments. I am glad my week was not a total disaster :-)<br />Suz, you are right: classic is a very easy FFBO which always looks polished without much effort. It is really amazing: I expected to feel bored with simple outfits like #2-3 and 5-6 but was not at all. <br />I am also happy to be able to copycat Angie with a red skirt. I am glad I got the red one and not the purple: muted purple which does wonders in your wardrobe Suz, would not work as well in mine but clear red has a big potential. This was also the first time I wore this purple mini stripe shirt and I am in love with it! &nbsp;<br />BTW no deck work for us today as it is raining cats and dogs since yesterday evening: they promise up to 80 mm of rain until it is finished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035473 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 07:03:03 +0000 Deborah 1035473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta you have a great wardrobe and knowing what works surely helps for weeks like this. &nbsp;You look so stylish and put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035458 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 06:06:57 +0000 Lyn D. 1035458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1, and it is so nice to see the bootleg pants/jeans in your WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035415 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 04:42:40 +0000 Beth Ann 1035415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry your week was difficult!&nbsp; 1, 5 and 7 are my favorites, but all are chic and strong --- and you're right, dressing in simple classics keeps things uncomplicated on those rushed mornings.</p> <p>Maybe you'll get to sit on that deck and watch the leaves change! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035407 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 04:00:43 +0000 Karie 1035407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't even pick a fav, I like them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035377 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 02:57:44 +0000 Makrame 1035377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week! &nbsp;I especially like how you styled the Gibson blazer, as well as outfits in #2, 5, and 7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035372 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 02:39:27 +0000 lyn* 1035372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfits - couldn't tell you were stressed at all!

I love the leopard slippers--they are a great way to add interest to an outfit. I'm taking notes Blush khakis look so refreshing with the grey blazer. You rock red!&nbsp;Fab week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035294 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 00:51:14 +0000 Angie 1035294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are #6 and #3 too.

All fab outfits, and evidence that simple and classic is the best FFB ever! Love #1 -- did the jacket feel better this time?&nbsp;</p> <p>My favourite is the red pencil skirt outfit. Just lovely. And a pretty homage to Angie.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I also love today's look. One last glimpse of summer.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035257 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 23:57:17 +0000 Anonymous 1035257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic!

Good luck next week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simply-classic#post-1035241 Fri, 20 Sep 2013 23:34:47 +0000 Sveta 1035241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This week was a torture! We are delivering a project at work and things did not go well so I had to work on weekend and very long hours. I am so happy it is Friday and that I have vacation next week! we decided not to go anywhere but use this week to finish our deck before the snow comes...but still, it means no work stress!!!<br />So this week I had no energy to dress so simple classic outfits to the rescue.</p> <p>#1 Saturday at work. I decided to see if I can style that knit blazer better. what do you think?<br />Gibson knit riding blazer<br />Burgundy sweater - Reitmans<br />Paige bootcut jeans<br />Vincee Camuto leo slippers</p> <p>#2-3 What can be simpler that a shirt, skinny trousers and a leather jacket?<br />Asymmetric leather jacket - Danier<br />Martin skinny trousers<br />Vince Camuto slippers (again!)<br />BB button down<br />Danier silver tote</p> <p>#4 Maybe the last time I wore my blush khakis this summer? Tried them with that troublesome for me knit jacket. See, I am demoing Angie's faux-tuck here!<br />Gibson knit riding blazer<br />Gap blush khakis<br />BB striped sweater<br />trotters tweed wedges<br />nude clutch from Portugal</p> <p>#5-6<br />Another simple classic to the rescue! I think it was my favorite of the week.<br />Red Halogen skirt - NAS<br />BB purple mini stripe shirt<br />"Monty cousin" tote<br />Ron Hommerson slingbacks</p> <p>#7 I was at the end of my strength today and did not even have energy to think about an outfit. FFBO of a summer dress and denim jaket were just the ticket!<br />Cleo dress<br />Old Navy white denim jacket<br />Silver Isaac Mizrahi flats<br />Red Chromia bag</p> <p>That was my week. Next week is The Deck week so I don't expect I will have much to show....</p> <p>Have a beautiful weekend! </p>
