I learned about style with you, gals, every time I drop by.</p> <p>@Cindy: I'm flattered you preferred my sleek jacket instead of the all-the-way-out-there moto from the picture. I was a bit concerned that this change would take away the punch from the outfit. As it is: it turned out quite well. Thanks again! </p> <p>@Wendi1984: You don't need a REASON to get a moto. You NEED a moto. Big, fat, full stop. Hahahaha.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1016576 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 06:12:35 +0000 Ingunn 1016576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your interpretation! It looks wonderful on you. I also love it when one achieves a great look for less. It proves that style can't be bought, or at least hardly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1016570 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 06:01:51 +0000 jurocha 1016570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks gals for all the comments! Truly reassuring. </p> <p>@Jeanie: All the credit to Angie, for finding the inspirational pic. Now go rock your navy maxi and show us pics!</p> <p>@JulieJohnn: a 100% polyester. It looks much better, the fabric much richer than what it actually is. @Astrid can now tell you about this little wonder too. Check out her outfit on the "<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-thoughts-on-the-evening-part-of-saturday" rel="nofollow">Some thoughts on the evening part of the event on Saturday</a>".</p> <p>@LoveSarahDub: I have a black and a brown leather jacket. I hv pleather in white, navy, dark red, pink and purple-ish/blue-ish. I want a green one (I saw on in the beginning of summer @Forever21, but they didn't hv my size left...) From the colourful ones I can tell you thht the ones that get the most wear are purple-ish, red and then pink. The purple-ish (I hv posted pictures of it <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-for-stand-up-comedy-evening" rel="nofollow">here</a>) and the pink look particularly good with dark wash indigo jeans. I like the red with black dressy shorts and black pleated skirts (I like the girly contrast against the leather). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1016565 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 05:49:03 +0000 jurocha 1016565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Suz, I was reading your comments on capsule creation in @Transconna Shannon post (?) and now I am determined to create a "Feeling blue Capsule". At first I thought this disrespected the capsule rules/definition, but after reading your comments I am convinces capsules also can be interpreted to one's psych/sentimental needs... (rather than professional/life roles) And I need a capsule for those days when NOTHING fits. Not even your own skin. Thanks again for the inspiration.</p> <p>@LoveSarahDub: Believe me when I tell you it is the skirt. It is totally the skirt. I started running in March this year and until June I was running 3 times a week and going to the gym other 2 to 3 times a week. I WAS thin then. I got guests for the summer (loads of sightseeing, but even more loads of eating!), I got a new job, I had a small accident (burned the skin on the back of my knees with the dog's leash while hiking) that prevented me from running (or walking properly) for a week... and hv been nourishing myself out of boxes (pasta, chinese, pizza) for another week. Believe me, I am not in my best shape. I actually am my almost heavier ever (44.8kg); while I usually weight 42-43kg (and the goal with exercising was coming down to 40kg! And hv more muscle in this 40 than I have right now.) I NEED to go back exercising regularly like YESTERDAY! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1016558 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 05:19:46 +0000 Jeanie 1016558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool. &nbsp;I like your version. &nbsp;Glad you posted this. &nbsp;I have a long navy blue chiffon skirt. &nbsp;It was part of a bridesmaid outfit. &nbsp;I always thought it could be worn again in a cool way and now I see how!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1016524 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 03:58:15 +0000 anne 1016524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've captured it well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1016520 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 03:55:26 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1016520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is terrific!

Love that jacket. You look INCREDIBLY thin! </p> <p>I am so obsessed with moto jackets! I have black and white, but I think I need a different color this year.

You look excellent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1016307 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 23:54:04 +0000 Sheila 1016307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great interpretation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1016303 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 23:51:15 +0000 annagybe 1016303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1016162 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:31:17 +0000 Suz 1016162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific!

My inspiration for casual outfits wth maxis comes, in fact, from a berliner. I can send you some pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1015954 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 17:10:08 +0000 Astrid 1015954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I really like it! I got the skirt after all for my evening outfit, so we are skirt twins now. I'm not sure if I will be able to pull of a more casual look with it though, you really did well with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1015774 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 14:23:06 +0000 jurocha 1015774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do it @Diana. I am thinking of buying the black version of it as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1015767 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 14:16:45 +0000 Diana 1015767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, interesting, and elegant! I love a good maxi skirt. Must get on finding a new one for myself. Maybe I'll check out h&amp;m. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-look-for-less#post-1015764 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 14:14:22 +0000 lyn* 1015764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this outfit capture the long and elegant lines that are so attractive in the inspiration.

The shirt, in a sweatshirt fabric, was part of their teens line last season. The skirt is now in store.</p> <p>What are your guys take on my interpretation of it?</p> <p>PS: Forgive the messy bathroom. Bedroom is worse. Doing capsules can ruin one's house. Hehehe. </p>
