You must wear this;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-surprise-a-friend/page/2#post-1527418 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 07:27:59 +0000 Cococat 1527418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Followed....and repinning the eye candy. </p> <p>Yes, I think we were long lost sisters! RO, Helmut Lang, Complex Geometries, All Saints, are all favourites. I just don't have the courage, or knack or places to wear some of these looks....so the pieces languish forlornly in my wardrobe. However, you are inspiring me!</p> <p>My CG top is a lot like this one, except it's black and cut up to the waist at the front. Perhaps I could wear it over a plain black tank dress. </p> <p><a href="http://complexgeometries.com/collections/womensnewarrivals/products/ghost-tank-natural" rel="nofollow">http://complexgeometries.com/c.....nk-natural</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-surprise-a-friend/page/2#post-1527416 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 07:10:00 +0000 Deborah 1527416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Denise. &nbsp;And apologies for being so nosey!! &nbsp;It's a stunning dress and could easily be mistaken for RO. &nbsp;It looked so fabulous on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-surprise-a-friend#post-1527415 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 07:07:53 +0000 CocoLion 1527415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a sweet story. &nbsp;You are very kind! &nbsp;Love your layering talents, you always get the proportions and details right.</p> <p>I didn't respond on my thread to your question about the pale grey dress. &nbsp;It is from Pure DKNY via eBay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-surprise-a-friend#post-1527411 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 06:46:21 +0000 Deborah 1527411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CocoC we must be long lost sisters!! &nbsp;Next to RO, Complexgeometries is my other fashion obsession! &nbsp;I have the Square Hooded Top/Dress (can't remember it's proper name) and another top with ladders (as in stocking ladders) and can be worn a number of ways.*sigh* </p> I also have a lot of layered looks on my pin boards &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/dagates/">https://www.pinterest.com/dagates/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-surprise-a-friend#post-1527409 Sun, 26 Jul 2015 06:36:50 +0000 Cococat 1527409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the link Deborah. What fabulous ideas. I have saved a few to try. </p> <p>I'm not really sure if I have the right pieces. I'm always afraid of looser things because I think that they will be unflattering on me. I do have a fabulous complex geometries piece that would be great for layering but I'm not sure how to style it. It's very short in the front (at my waist) and very long at the back. I need to play.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-surprise-a-friend#post-1526939 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 09:38:08 +0000 Lynne 1526939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Deb, what a gorgeous story!&nbsp; Your friend will smile every time she sees the sweater remembering your kindness.&nbsp; I love your outfit, the shine on the scarf gives a lovely interest to the monochromatic outfit.&nbsp; I've just seen on this evenings news that your part of Australia is due for more Arctic weather.....stay warm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-surprise-a-friend#post-1526934 Sat, 25 Jul 2015 09:29:34 +0000 Deborah 1526934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CocoC, no rules:). I think it's just getting the proportions right and that can be different between people, due to the individual's size, height, body type. Have a play.

Your generosity is wonderful. &nbsp;I help my dearest friend with clothing for her Spring B'day and Christmas as she is a single mother and know very well the joy it brings to her, not to mention the self esteem as she wears them.. Prior to my stepping in she'd been getting cast offs from friends for 7 years and had no clothes that were really her style! &nbsp;Truth is I watched my mother do this for someone and am just living her legacy. &nbsp;<br />You and your friends are so blessed and I wish all women had wonderful friendships!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-surprise-a-friend#post-1526350 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:12:57 +0000 frannieb 1526350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So of course the oufit is fab but the story and you kindness is even fabber. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-surprise-a-friend#post-1526337 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 13:01:29 +0000 Elizabeth P 1526337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are an amazing woman Deborah... how sweet of you.&nbsp; </p> <p>And this OUTFIT!&nbsp; The layers of blue are just beautiful.&nbsp; Bookmarking this idea for winter for sure...

This is absolutely perfect layering IMHO. There is nothing bulky - everything just sort of skims and drapes over the other item. The asymmetry is gorgeous and you know I adore black and blue together. </p> <p>I notice you're wearing more scarves as of late. You're making me think about trying some scarves with some of my outfits come fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-surprise-a-friend#post-1526329 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:55:37 +0000 Anonymous 1526329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely story, and what good friends you are!</p> <p>Love your blue/back outfit and&nbsp;what a lovely sweater that is.
