That top is FAB and the sunny yellow bag is the perfect finishing touch.</p> <p>Luv the layered sleeves in the second outfit. The blue and brown mix looks good. </p> <p>I also wondered if you recently cut your hair. I wonder why I didn't notice last month? Ugh, I'm getting old! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-605181 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 02:00:00 +0000 rae 605181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I felt pretty darn great in both outfits - and wait, I DID wear a brighter lip stain this morning, which is not my norm. Maybe my subconscious is starting to apply the rubric for me? o_0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-605172 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 01:53:13 +0000 Sveta 605172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you feel about them? After all rubric is a tool to help you feel in your outfits, not the goal.<br /> I like both of them and that yellow bag is fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-605045 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 23:25:57 +0000 Meghan R 605045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Jayne -- you look very long and lean in these outfits! And the yellow bag is fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604986 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 22:16:15 +0000 Jjsloane 604986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these both look great. I think the Rubric is a great tool for identifying elements for an outfit (especially when you are stuck) but no need to always include every element. You still look like your style here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604982 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 22:14:11 +0000 Aida 604982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW I am really slow then! It looks great, especially the bangs. That DIY sounds delicious, can't wait to see it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604979 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 22:06:36 +0000 rae 604979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I cut my hair in... early March? Before I went on my trip. It was the first time I'd been to a salon in about 10 years! </p> <p>And wouldn't you know it? I pulled out my bag with wide white stripes and saw it is in absolute tatters. It is faux leather on its last leg, but I am plotting a DIY something along these lines, involving lots of cats and a generous helping of white scrap leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604949 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 21:32:13 +0000 Aida 604949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 'em both! #1 is perfectly spring Rae to me, a little lightness but still plenty of moody darks. #2 looks a bit dark to me but I'm in my wear-less-black-for-spring/summer mode already soooo ya know How about popping on a white or cream bag with that one?</p> <p>(OK Am I being oblivious or is your hair shorter? Did you get it cut and I somehow missed it?? :O ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604914 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 20:47:03 +0000 Meredith1953 604914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are beautiful outfits! I really love the yellow bag with the gray. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604883 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:56:34 +0000 rae 604883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL @ Heather! Patty, I can't watch that video right now, but what tells me there will be more lols coming??</p> <p>I am intrigued by the multiple long/tall comments - I've been thinking the same: strangely pleased with this where I used to feel too wide... however, my width and weight are the same, so what's the secret? Is it all in the outfits? I sort of feel like I should check to make sure my camera isn't dying and stretching the picture out somehow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604879 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 19:50:36 +0000 catgirl 604879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I think these are perfect. I love the stormy colors with the yellow bag - like sun and storm together. In #1 the top is pretty "bright" to my eye too. I wore that combo a week ago and loved it. That long cardi looks great too. You look so long and tall in these pix! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604824 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:43:33 +0000 fern 604824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors are stormy but the fit and proportions are great. Wow.<br /> I don't think I'm missing brightness in 2, but your outfit does look more serious without it.<br /> Do you miss it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604798 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:16:51 +0000 Suz 604798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the yellow bag with the greys! Definitely an antidote to the skies. Both are beautiful outfits for you, Rae. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604765 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:33:21 +0000 christieanne 604765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blouse and bag in #1 are definitely brightening - seems right for this spring stormy stuff in California. And I just like #2. Deep blue is always a hit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604760 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:28:33 +0000 jayne 604760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great outfits, your legs look a mile long in both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604709 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:04:02 +0000 Patty 604709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outkast??!! LOL</p> <p>I clicked hoping you weren't having a Lena Horn kinda Stormy Weather time!! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCG3kJtQBKo" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCG3kJtQBKo</a></p> <p>Looking good Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604686 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:42:02 +0000 Angie 604686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Tanya said by about a billion percent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604675 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:30:23 +0000 Heather 604675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rubric qualifiers or not....you look incredible, Rae.</p> <p>"You can plan a pretty picnic, but you can't predict the weather." Thanks, Outkast. ;D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604673 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:08:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 604673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits are perfect Rae. I always figure as long as I have a few of my rubric elements, I'm good to go. They keep me grounded but I don't need all of them all the time. I LOVE your blouse in outfit #1 and the yellow bag is such a delicious pop of colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604672 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:05:23 +0000 Tanya 604672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally think both of these are great Rae! Rubrics are awesome but I don't think we should be slaves to them. And love the yellow bag with the first outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-stormy-weather#post-604670 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:55:54 +0000 rae 604670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, so not quite storming - but definitely gray and wet. I don't think I have every rubric element covered in these, but as Shannon said, maybe all of the elements don't have to be there - just *enough* of them. I tried to add some "brightness" near the face in #1 in the form of a gold necklace with a white stone but it doesn't show in the photo. What do you think? Do I need to make more effort to touch on all my rubric elements, or are these just as good? </p>
