Love this. It must have been a fun day. Making steps towards the life in your new home must be very exciting and I bet you can't wait.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-884210 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:50:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 884210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This looks fab Ornella - totally put together MOTG. I adore the mix of black and navy.<br /><br />How exciting that the house has started! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-884028 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:41:36 +0000 Anonymous 884028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ornella I think this is a fab MOTG outfit. I has some real pizazz to it. I think it is how you accessorised it with the scarf and belt. Fab!<br /> I have always loved long and short slaeeved tee's but I think the fabric quality has really gone down hill, it seems so thin. As I sew I am on the lookout for good quality fabrics to make my own https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-884005 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 07:46:32 +0000 Ornella 884005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Before I need your comments let me just say sorry for unintended post and run, I am trying to fight off the cold and I guess I was too exhausted yesterday as I too fell asleep the moment my sun was tucked in his bed.<br /><br />In any case,&nbsp;thanks for all the feedback, off to read it now https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883908 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 03:15:22 +0000 Jaime 883908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look wonderful! And you are downplaying the stress of sitting there "just drinking coffee" while your son was oriented. You are handling your move and your style with aplomb! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883883 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 02:45:33 +0000 Sveta 883883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Excited or not but this striped tee looks good on you.<br />But I get it entirely. I also don't get excited about t-shirts to the point of not having any. <br />Very sassy outfit all in all&nbsp; and I am envious you don't need to wear winter boots: I still have to wear mine here!<br />So exciting about a new house! I am sure you cannot wait to move in.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883587 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 23:10:37 +0000 Deborah 883587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ornella, I relate to your feelings about tees.&nbsp; But this looks wonderful on you.&nbsp;&nbsp; It's such a slick and elegant look but still approachable.&nbsp; How exciting about your house:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883573 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 23:00:27 +0000 Aida 883573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lovely! Especially digging the scarf, it adds just that right touch of Ornella I hear you on the tees, I've become awfully picky about mine as well. I used to buy several each season, especially at the start, but this year I have bought a grand total of two (both covered in sequins ^^). I agree with Inge, time to find something else that can be "your tee"! For me it is sweaters and button-up shirts https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883487 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:49:06 +0000 Beth Ann 883487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love the bit of red and the size of the scarf -- very sharp.<br /><br />New house!&nbsp; Sounds exciting!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883472 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:22:50 +0000 hedgiehog 883472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great outfit on you! I especially like the red belt for added interest. Well done. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883470 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:21:01 +0000 rachylou 883470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Savvy! The scarf is esp. snappy!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883464 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:15:41 +0000 merwoman 883464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I get a very Parisian vibe from this outfit Ornella - love it! Congratulations on your home - such an exciting time.&nbsp;There&nbsp;may be some competing interests for your fashion dollars.... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883454 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:02:05 +0000 Sara L. 883454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great outfit!&nbsp; I really like how the scarf and red belt add an individual touch to the outfit. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883445 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 20:55:07 +0000 kellygirl 883445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look gorgeous, Ornela. I think you are right on the mark with a structured and interesting casual outfit. The neckerchief is perfect with the breton stripes. You have an eye for detail and these little touches make the outfit so special. Love the red belt too Fab MOTG! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883372 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:29:45 +0000 Day Vies 883372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this with the blue jeans and red belt. I am sure you were the best looking they've had visit the school ever. There is just so much eye candy (including beautiful you!) I just love the visual interest between the strips and dots. Yay for super polished MOTG! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883356 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:20:05 +0000 Ingunn 883356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I adore this on you! Very polished, no frump whatsoever, and a great MOTG look. The scarf is very you, I think. In regards of tee's - I find that they never stay in shape and are disappointing in general. My striped long sleeved ones behave slightly better, but when it comes to short sleeved tee's, I'm done, too. For now, at least. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883349 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 19:14:48 +0000 Lisa 883349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Black and navy, lovely combination.&nbsp; Funny you mention t-shirts, I usually layer long sleeve t's with my cardigans but lately I've been grabbing my button downs instead. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883315 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 18:47:48 +0000 Inge 883315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a fabulous Mum on the go!-) I absolutely love black and navy together, and adore this outfit on you, Ornella! Polish and structure with the blazer, a touch of fun with the stripes (you look so fab in stripes, by the way!) and the red belt, and then the scarf (great pattern mixing with the top) as the finishing touch.<br /><br />I hear you on tees, I stopped buying them a couple of years ago, I'm just not feeling them anymore. I do have a few light-weight striped jumpers that layer well under jackets. Perhaps something similar could become your "tees". And I know we both love wearing button-downs and blouses, so still plenty of options, right.<br /><br />I hope the visit went well and that you and your son were impressed by the new school. Very exciting prospects with the new house!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-visiting-the-new-school#post-883301 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 18:25:21 +0000 Ornella 883301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's excitement was about taking DS to the school in the neighbourhood where we'll move next year when our house will be&nbsp;finished.&nbsp;</p> <p>All I had to do was drop him off for 1 hour session in the classroom where they spent some time with the&nbsp;teacher, then sit down and have a coffe while I wait. But, I wanted to wear something tailored, structured and a bit more&nbsp;imaginative&nbsp;than just jeans and cardigan under the winter jacket, I mean - I got out of the house, I had to wear something un-frumpy.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, I finally got to try navy + black (in striped top and jacket respectively), added some pattern mixing to the pot (the scarf)&nbsp;and finished off&nbsp;it up with the pop of color (belt, semi tuck, which&nbsp;you can't really tell but I knew I attempted it).&nbsp;</p> <p>I really, really no longer want to buy tee shirts unless some very special piece comes my way. They just don't excite me, not even the striped ones. The clinginess and uncooperativeness factors just dampen the happiness factor for me.</p> <p>On the way back we stopped by the building site, the works on the&nbsp;first houses (ours is one of 23) have started. Yay.</p> <p>Thanks for looking, suggestions are always welcome.</p>
