It looks sooo good on you. I mean, I would brake hard to check out that jacket and if I were a guy I'd be trying to get your number. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-628860 Fri, 25 May 2012 20:50:24 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 628860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I was just teasing about the acronym. I can usually figure them out but if not, just move on. I can usually figure out the general idea without. </p> <p>it is all good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-628543 Fri, 25 May 2012 14:30:15 +0000 Meredith1953 628543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blouse with the skirt is just stunning!

I bet you have great surfer style, Una. </p> <p>Angie, you've just reminded me to turn the Pinterest pins on for the blog!</p> <p>dianthus, I think I should just keep an acronym key on my desktop and paste it in sometimes. I don't want to cause confusion, but now I'm typing the short *and* long versions, which defeats the purpose, lol. </p> <p>Christy, I'm sorry it didn't work for you! In a perfect world, Nexx would see how beloved these shirts are and start making them in petite and also keep refreshing the color options every season... I know it's a dream, but it is a beautiful dream... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-628265 Fri, 25 May 2012 02:53:50 +0000 christy 628265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That orange is so amazing on you - love it!! I tried the Nexx shirt but it was just too long on me. Boo - because I loved all the colors!! And the casual look is terrific. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-628228 Fri, 25 May 2012 01:54:03 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 628228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for explaining the SGT. I worked at the RCMP for too long and couldn't get past Sgt. </p> <p>I love that shirt on you and it works really well with the skirt and boots. I like all of the outfits but that shirt is outstanding (O/S) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-628188 Fri, 25 May 2012 01:10:50 +0000 MsMary 628188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-628186 Fri, 25 May 2012 01:09:54 +0000 Jaime 628186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous.

My boss mentioned he owns a couple Indiana Jones fedoras, and I immediately wanted one, too. </p> <p>Suz, I think I have more crazy skirts than plain ones!</p> <p>Una, thank you - I have been feeling like I hit my stride, and I'm glad you can see it as an observer as well. I think that the first turning point was the creation of my rubric, which helped to make sure that the style in my head came across in practice. The next big thing was my eyes opening to more styles of menswear that work for the warm months. </p> <p>I'm actually planning to make June "Manspiration Month" in honor of Fathers' Day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-628011 Thu, 24 May 2012 21:58:40 +0000 catgirl 628011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your Nexx blouse is killing me. Thank goodness I found something similar. You're on such a roll lately - do you feel you've made some kind of key transition, and how can I get me some of that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-628000 Thu, 24 May 2012 21:50:37 +0000 Kiwichik 628000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you can ever call paisley utilitarian - love the skirt with the orange blouse fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-627783 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:41:25 +0000 Jonesy 627783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, I absolutely love your casual look! I covet that white Puma jacket!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-627772 Thu, 24 May 2012 17:25:51 +0000 Suz 627772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That orange blouse is gorgeous on you! I love the entire outfit. It's a tonal look with a pop, and really works. You've got a ton of wear from that skirt. It just goes to show that a more unusual bottom is often a good investment. </p> <p>Love the casual look, too. You look great in that jacket, so I'm glad to hear a replacement is on the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-627726 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:27:54 +0000 Amy 627726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want you to wear a cowboy hat. Although, I suppose that would take this outfit from fabulous to costume-y, but there it is.</p> <p>That orange blouse is stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-627712 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:17:17 +0000 rae 627712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claire, I have *tried*! I was thwarted by the fact that the moto is sweatshirt material and also pretty old. I get away with a lot, but distressed sweats felt wrong at the office. HOWEVER, I have an upgrade on the way, which should arrive today or tomorrow!</p> <p>Rita, I have to remember steampunk deluxe for a WIW title. Love. </p> <p>Shannon, this blouse is a favorite already. One of very few items that has crossed the closet divide and been worn for both work and play. I'm half afraid I'll wear it to shreds by next spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-627704 Thu, 24 May 2012 16:06:31 +0000 Sona 627704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>two totally fab looks- one corporate chic, one cool casual. and can I just say that the titles you've beenc oming up with these days are Rae-tastic!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-627666 Thu, 24 May 2012 15:27:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 627666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That blouse is going to end up being your favourite wardrobe item, I can tell! This girly cowboy look is fantastic on you Rae - I adore the pairing of the blouse and skirt and I sooooo want your map bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-627653 Thu, 24 May 2012 15:04:20 +0000 modgrl 627653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Steampunk deluxe!

The paisley skirt almost looks like lace: very cool. Love the trench. As for your casual outfit, I love, love LOVE you in white/light colors! Is there a way you could work that Puma moto jacket into a work outfit? Maybe you already have and I missed it. Anyway, I love it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-utilitarian-paisley-white-summer-night#post-627649 Thu, 24 May 2012 15:01:46 +0000 Kirti 627649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That Nexx blouse is stunning on you!
