It's all relative! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-snake-in-the-winter#post-818676 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 01:38:12 +0000 Jaime 818676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is hysterical! Highs of 47 degrees and rainy was exactly what was considered the winter storm of the decade here last week. Everyone was bundles up in boots, coats, scarves and mittens! Anyway, I love both outfits, the wonderful blouse and also the black sweater are both great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-snake-in-the-winter#post-818673 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 01:36:40 +0000 Thistle 818673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both of these, but #2 is my favorite.

I hear you on simple statement pieces - almost sounds like an oxymoron, but I love how the "simplicity" is in the overall outfit. Fewer pieces, fewer layers, easy peasy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-snake-in-the-winter#post-818455 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:59:49 +0000 Gaylene 818455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually your son was not totally incorrect. True, the Maple Leaf flag is our current flag, but both the Red Ensign and the Union Jack have been used as our national flags. Here's a quote from the Canadian Heritage Government website:</p> <p>"The original Royal Union Flag, or Union Jack, was first raised in Canada at the British settlement in Newfoundland after 1610. Although the Red Ensign was widely used in Canada from the time of Confederation until the national flag was adopted in 1965, the Union Jack was the affirmed national symbol from 1904 and was the flag under which Canadian troops fought during the First World War. The Union Jack maintains its presence in Canada through its incorporation in the provincial flags of Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia."</p> <p>But our UK contingent might point out that strictly speaking your bag is not quite an accurate representation since the white cross bars look to be the same size on either side of the red cross bars. My third-grade teacher back in the late fifties used to make us draw the Union Jack in art classes; anyone who didn't do it EXACTLY right had to stay in at recess... Some injustices never leave us!</p> <p>Oh, I almost forgot, both of your outfits look fabulous: simple, but strong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-snake-in-the-winter#post-818441 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:47:42 +0000 Karie 818441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I love your Equipment shirt even more every time I see it!

Like the cute purse too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-snake-in-the-winter#post-818286 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 20:23:02 +0000 Reneeb 818286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that shirt and it looks great on you..I hunted high low for a petite version no luck.

Love, love, love that shirt and, of course, the Burberry, which I was lucky enough to see in person.</p> <p>What a cute UJ purse and I'm all for high-low items sharing together. There's something very democratic about that, which warms my heart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-snake-in-the-winter#post-818237 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:46:42 +0000 catgirl 818237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought maybe there's some alternate version like there is of the US flag (those older ones that show up in fashion contexts...). Thanks for enlightening me, and apologies to the Canadians! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-snake-in-the-winter#post-818236 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:45:44 +0000 catgirl 818236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly - I'm not sure what he was thinking. But he can be so convincing he had me all muddled.</p> <p>Denise, that's why I picked it up. It seemed like a low rent item that could look really upscale! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-snake-in-the-winter#post-818235 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:45:17 +0000 Anonymous 818235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bwah!

The new purse is adorable, what a find! And on you it looks like $250 not $7.</p> <p>Definitely the Union Jack. A teachable moment for DS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-snake-in-the-winter#post-818225 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:41:18 +0000 catgirl 818225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit, I was inspired by you today! </p> <p>And this is the Union Jack, yes?

It is especially badass with the boots. Love it. I love the purse it's such a nice accent to your dinner outfit and $7 is a steal.

Ok...that mesh purse is adorb!</p> <p>And I think we must have your cold weather - the weekend was just nasty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-snake-in-the-winter#post-818215 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:38:44 +0000 Tina.b 818215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love outfits like this, one statement piece in a simple outfit. Totally my way to dress. I tried that blouse on in blue and really liked, but I ended up going with a coloured leopard print one instead. I honestly have to force myself to sit on my hands when it comes to new Equipment blouses, but in my defence they are my most worn article of clothing. I cannot resist them.</p> <p>The shirt in #2 is fab as well, love the leather? detail. Great outfits both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-snake-in-the-winter#post-818213 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 19:38:17 +0000 Anonymous 818213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I think that is key -- statement pieces that make you feel great and are easy to wear! </p>
