I'm so glad you liked my outfit.</p> <p>I have now seen the play, and an Ibsen-text surely can be taken in many directions. Very different, very modernistic, and a lot of food for thought. I was appropriately dressed, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712669 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 17:22:01 +0000 rachylou 712669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Striking!

Love the colours, in both, but preffer the first booties with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712432 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:53:47 +0000 kellygirl 712432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in colored tights! I've never been able to get that to work for me. I prefer the grey jacket to the black but both are pretty amazing. I just slightly prefer the softness of the colors in 1. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712412 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:33:27 +0000 MNsara 712412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it fun to have a 'reason' to dress nicely! Here too, we can wear vary casual outfits ANYWHERE, but I love it when I choose to dress it up :-)</p> <p>Anyway, I much prefer the taupe leather and booties I know I'm pretty tonal, so it's less contrast than with the navy. That also means I'm opt for more tonal hosiery than colored tights. I'm not very adventurous in that area, so I could easily be out voted!</p> <p>Isn't mai's scarf tying video great? She is adorable and what a nice produciton it turned out to be! I just need to capture a few favorite pics for myself and keep them in my closet - not on the computer. . .</p> <p>Have fun!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712402 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:21:33 +0000 Ingunn 712402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We double posted, Shannon - thank you very much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712400 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:19:54 +0000 Ingunn 712400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How appropriate for me to attend a teacher's show today, then, Ramya:) That's a very nice thing to hear. Indians get that knowledge is invaluable, but that I knew already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712397 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:18:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 712397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - these are both fantastic outfits Ingunn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712394 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:16:12 +0000 ramya 712394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn do you know Sept 5 is teachers day in India :)...<br /> Teachers are highly respected and reverend in India so we have a special day for them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712391 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:11:43 +0000 Ingunn 712391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all your input and links! Ramya, that blog is a gold mine! I will explore it later. Astrid, the video from Wendy's Lookbook is so great - thanks a lot! You seem to be partial to the taupe jacket, and so am I. The black blazer is good, too, but I think I will change the hose if I wear that combination. The idea was to match it to the bag. My daughters who are 18 and 15 really liked the hose with the dress, and so be it then:)</p> <p>Suz, I wish you could come along! Ibsen is very special, and my favorite playwright too, along with Jon Fosse. Do you know him? He's contemporary, but already regarded as the "new Ibsen". There is an Ibsen festival going on these days, and I'm going with a colleague to have a special teacher's show. After the play is finished, the actors will engage in a dialogue with us to explain the how's and why's of this particular show. It will be very useful to us when working with the students later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712370 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 12:41:41 +0000 Suz 712370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful. And I am jealous of your going to see Ibsen, one of my favourite playwrights! </p> <p>You look funky Euro-chic in both outfits! I like both, as well. I might prefer the leather jacket one by a nose, but only a nose. With that one, I wonder about maybe lightening the tights a bit or making them coordinate more with the dress. </p> <p>Though I am not opposed to coloured hose at times for a fun pop! And I actually like how they match your bag and bookend your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712366 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 12:38:15 +0000 Jaime 712366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first version and love that scarf on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712352 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 12:18:27 +0000 Anonymous 712352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like look 1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712350 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 12:15:47 +0000 Anonymous 712350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely Ingunn! I'm partial to the taupe jacket, but the black one is nice too; it bookends your shoes nicely. That's a great way to winterize your dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712332 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 11:32:56 +0000 Astrid 712332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a great video:</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LYAEz777AU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LYAEz777AU</a></p> <p>Nice outfits too! I like it with the navy blazer, but I think I'd prefer it with different tights, ones that are lower contrast with the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712329 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 11:28:27 +0000 ramya 712329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yeah the taupe leather jacket..</p> <p><a href="http://www.maitaispicturebook.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.maitaispicturebook.com</a></p> <p>Here's the link try your favourite </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712325 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 11:25:55 +0000 Ingunn 712325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You mean the taupe leather jacket? It is my favorite, too. How sweet of you to look for scarf tying links! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712322 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 11:16:18 +0000 ramya 712322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awwww.. Ingunn I love both I can't decide...<br /> But if you want dressy may be the silver blazer version is better ???</p> <p>Scraf tying there were some link loves previously... Will try and hunt them down for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-see-ibsen#post-712320 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 11:11:42 +0000 Ingunn 712320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to see "The Wild Duck" By our great author Henrik Ibsen today! Yay! Can't wait, it's been ages since I saw a play. While going to the theater no longer requires the level of dressing up as it used to, I feel that a too casual outfit would be disrespectful. </p> <p>My green BR dress is sleeveless, and I try to squeeze a little more Summer out of it, but I'm adding layers so the chillier wind today won't bother me. </p> <p>#1: Green wrap dress (Banana Republic), silk/wool brown leopard print scarf (Morgan &amp; Oates), burgundy hose (H&amp;M), taupe leather jacket (BZR/Bruuns Bazar), brown leather booties (Pantanetti), burgundy leather bag (GREEN byTony Perotti).</p> <p>#2: I also tried a version with black blazer (BR) and oxfords (Vagabond). </p> <p>Which one do you prefer? Are the colored hose a good idea? Too matchy-matchy? Any styling suggestions are welcome, particularly on how to tie the scarf.</p> <p>I pulled out my DSLR and my tripod to get better photos today. The colors are pretty accurate, but the red tends to be too bright. It is more brown IRL. Thanks for looking! </p>
