Perhaps we all should ... )</p> <p>I also really like #4, but all the looks are great - skinnies were made for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672758 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 09:35:20 +0000 Ornella 672758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same old story... I was stretching myself in case of #4 as I really wanted to make these pants work somehow and had no idea how I did. I just felt it was worth posting it to get the feedback and some new ideas, but look at your reactions :-)</p> <p>Thank you all, this gives me new confidence to play with my wardrobe.</p> <p>Aida, I'll get the close up of the fabric and colors and pants perhaps post it in separate thread. I need new ideas as I have very limited options for styling them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672680 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 03:51:42 +0000 Anonymous 672680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful in each outfit but #4 is outstanding. You did a masterful job styling those pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672668 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 03:37:46 +0000 Deborah 672668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella all are fab! You are certainly embracing your more casual wardrobe with gusto. These are all steller! #4 is creative, arty and very very cool. I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672661 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 03:29:38 +0000 Sveta 672661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, your style has skyrocketed! I am in love with #5 especially and need to copy that ASAP!<br /> It is so nice to see your posts again - I missed you. You outfits maybe super casual but they are super fab in my book! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672531 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 01:01:27 +0000 Angie 672531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, #3 and #5 are the KILLER-Ornella style that we know and love. </p> <p>But #4. Well. It's off the charts (I think you meant that outfit was very ALGO). Catwalk stuff!! I think it's my fave! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672510 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 00:47:00 +0000 Aida 672510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, Ornella! So great to see a WIW post from you. You know I love those dramatic waterfall cardigans on you, so outfit #1 is of course a standout to me. Also #5, super cute. BUT #4!! WOW. The pants are FUN, could we get a detail of the print/fabric? I feel like you could do a lot with those. I think you're adapting to more casual dressing with great style, O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672269 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 21:04:22 +0000 Ornella 672269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I have very nice blue waterfall cardigan too. Watch this space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672263 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 20:53:35 +0000 Lisa 672263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in red. And that waterfall cardigan looks so comfy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672258 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 20:48:14 +0000 Ornella 672258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone, it is nice to be back posting WIWs too ;-)<br /> And you are all being your generous selves in your feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672222 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 20:16:20 +0000 Inge 672222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sigh, red is such a stunning colour on you, Ornella. So of course I adore the first outfit (the necklace is a very nice touch). I also really like the simplicity of outfit 2, and the touches of red (bag) and grey/taupe (oxfords). Outfit 4 absolutely works for me, I love the pattern mixing and the tonal colour combinations! Stripes on stripes in outfit 5, super lovely too;-) And how fun is that t-shirt. And it's so true: you look fab, Ornella! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672149 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:16:41 +0000 Meredith1953 672149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely as always! I especially like the #4 and #5 outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672139 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 19:05:56 +0000 rachylou 672139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stop-in-your-tracks! #1 is fabulous, so flattering on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672123 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:50:07 +0000 Anonymous 672123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these looks Ornella. I am crazy about the first, second and last outfit. You were made to wear stripes and scarves! Those skinnies are pretty hot on you too. The T-shirt in the store is really cute, but I'm glad you just took a picture of it instead of buying it, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672113 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:46:05 +0000 CocoLion 672113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit in picture #4 is over the top fabulous! I love the print mixing yet keeping it together in a tonally consistent way. Also love #5 and the YLF tee. Good to see you post. Your home and balcony look beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672089 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:35:13 +0000 Kiwichik 672089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits love the waterfall cardi and especially like your last outfit.</p> <p>Hmmm there may be a merchandising opportunity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-672036 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 17:38:06 +0000 ManidipaM 672036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything works and you look marvellous in them all, Ornella, but I especially love the waterfall cardi, polka dots and bead necklace and the ALGO stripes. FAB! </p> <p>And I'm rather envious of that cute, cute T-shirt! How amazing to have something that looks both cute and grown-up --- I think it's the cut and fabric that makes the difference. VERY nice choice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-671961 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:47:00 +0000 Astrid 671961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have missed your outfit posts! I love #1, it's fabulous. You look so good in red! And I really like that necklace. #3 is classic and I like the pattern mixing with top and scarf in #5. #4 looks good to me too, I like how you made these work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-671956 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:41:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 671956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so nice to see you post again Ornella!</p> <p>Love you in red - it is YOUR colour. And I think the jeans in #3 are quite flattering on you and totally work. Adore outfits #4 and #5 - very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-some-triedtested-formulas-and-silly-pants-experiment#post-671923 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:22:49 +0000 Ornella 671923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few very random WIWs. I need very casual clothes for my day-to-day activities, something I'm still getting used to, so I try to be playful with that subset of my wardrobe and instill some interest with the accessories and remixing things in the ways I didn't have much opportunities for before.</p> <ol> <li> Yet another WIW with the waterfall cardigan, I love this red one so much. And yet another outfit with the skinnies, how could I ever live without them? Worn with the simple polkadot t-shirt and necklace that was leaving gift from my friends in England. </li> <li> Navy &amp; Red - striped navy&amp;white long-sleeved tee and dark bootcut jeans, new oxfords and red handbag. </li> <li> Hit &amp; Miss - This outfit was very, very ALGO for me, and about trying to find something to wear with these silly old bootcuts. Their color is actually not typical for what I've been buying recently, it is quite washed out (that's how I bought them) and it's very difficult to match them with any color in my wardrobe, so I used to wear them with the white tops only. They are very old and you might even see the line from letting the hem to make them a bit longer (post-YLF intervention, of course). The colors of the top and the pants are actually very similar, and the layering mauve tank top picks up the color of one of the stripes from the pants. Not sure how I did, but anything goes at the sandy playground. </li> <li> I could not resist this top by Lulu Guiness for Uniqlo collection, it's B&amp;W and has cute print like <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.uniqlo.com/uk/goods/071689">here</a></strong>. I bought it a few months ago but haven't taken any WIW photos with it. The possibilities to remix it with the rest of my casual wardrobe are endless and here I've added the striped scarf for some pattern mixing, together with the red handbag for some color. Btw, did I ever think that as a pear I'd wear skinnies without covering myself down to my knees? Nope. <p>(Did I mention just how much I love my skinnies?)</p> </li> <li>Bonus photo:<br /> A t-shirt I saw at the shop I walked by today... </li> </ol> <p>Thanks for stopping by, comments, critiques and ideas for improvements are always welcome. </p>
