Maybe a statement pendant would help add a little something extra to #4 if you didn't feel fab enough (though it looks great as is). #1 is my fave followed closely by #2 but they are all super stylish! You look glamorous and dramatic no matter what you wear--I think it's your model looks and edgy hair! Your clothes look great with the darker do, esp. #1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-601583 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 21:24:45 +0000 annagybe 601583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #4 looks very avant garde. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-601573 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 21:08:19 +0000 Vicki 601573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, this looks like a Good, Good and Good Week IMHO. The colors and fabrics in #1 are stunning and I love your darker hair. Then, 2, with the more muted colors for a de-bombshelled pencil skirt works just fine. Suz's suggestion on the use of the yellow raisin is a good one, too. I'm with a few of the others in liking #4 and could see this paired with nude, taupe or black skinnies and your animal print booties. The colors in 6 are, like 1, just beautiful on you and 5 is a black-and-white classic. It was a very good week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-601560 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 20:31:37 +0000 CocoLion 601560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could pull of so many consecutively great outfits. They all work really well. My favorites are 2/3 and 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-601502 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 19:10:36 +0000 Jonesy 601502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, what a great week! I love all of these--I don't think #4 is as terrible as you think it is :). My faves are #1, #3, and #6, but they are all terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-601243 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 14:13:38 +0000 nancylee 601243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these looks, Sveta. You have a real talent for combining colors in new and flattering ways. And that red jacket in #2 is just so awesome on you. Every time I see you wear it I'm reminded of how much I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-601226 Sun, 22 Apr 2012 13:41:04 +0000 Sveta 601226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everybody for your comments!<br /> Sorry for not replying earlier - yesterday was really crazy! In the morning I had to drive to move son home after the university term is over and it was 2 h drive one way. After we got home I had about 2 h to get ready for a party that night...thanks God I still have Sunday to relax!:-)<br /> Claire, that purple is a no-brainer for me: it is one of my best ever colors and I have known it for quite a while so when I saw the silk shirt in this color and on sale I had to snatch it!<br /> Sona, it is an interesting thing but I feel really weird smiling for pictures. It is weird because I smile quite a lot in life but I have difficulties to do it posing...<br /> Kiwichik, you assume right - I am tall...very tall actually :-)<br /> Joy, Kate, Christieanne, Louise, Scarlet, Zap, Mander - thanks!<br /> Suz, yellow skirt was my first thought but...ahem... it needs a bath :-)<br /> Deborah (and others who did not fint in horror seeing pic.4) - thank you for easing my worry that I looked like a dork that day. I am still not in love with that outfit but maybe it is less atrocious than I feared...<br /> Jayne, I was sure that a loose and long denim shirt over a pencil skirt is not for everybody's liking and kind of opposite to what a pencil skirt is for but I guess this is exactly what I like: the unexpectedness of it. I am that weird at times...:-)<br /> Mona, I am wearing 2" heeled pumps in pic.5 - I only wear these wide leg trousers with heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600612 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 11:40:40 +0000 Mander 600612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only wish my good days looked half as bold, mod, and stylish as your bad days! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600608 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 11:36:26 +0000 Mona 600608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find #4 very bold and beautiful. #5 is my favourtie from the lot too. Are you wearing heels in there? or are they flats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600595 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 11:06:45 +0000 Anonymous 600595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where is the ugly? They all look amazing to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600574 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 07:34:13 +0000 Scarlet 600574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a great week. I love the dress in 4 on you so much, but I do agree that sleeker bottoms would be the way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600567 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 07:09:09 +0000 jayne 600567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved 1,4,5,6...the jean shirt and grey pencil just didn't thrill me. In theory it should work, right?</p> <p>Your legs go on forever in the others, although I would have preferred to see the red dress over tights rather than skinnies. The dress just seemed to deserve better? It is a great dress and the color suits you!</p> <p>Oh, and if you ever tire of emerald riding jacket, I will just swing by and take it off your hands </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600562 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 06:55:33 +0000 Louise 600562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great week. I rather like #4 as is but perhaps try black shoes if you're worried about a long leg line X </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600535 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 05:34:10 +0000 Deborah 600535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I am going to start with #4! I personally love it. I am a big fan of dresses over pants and this looks amazing. The dress is a bit mod and the ankle length pants look really cool with the shoes. The lack of accessories just helps to create a minimal and super stylish look. I don't think this is leg shortening at all</p> <p>#1 is very striking with the color of the blouse. beautiful.</p> <p>#2/3 is lovely but doesn't grab me in the same way as the other outfits for the week.</p> <p>#5 and 6 are inspired with special mention to 5... I want to copycat this one.</p> <p>I think you had a very stylish week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600493 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 04:35:27 +0000 christieanne 600493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the red tunic looks modern and pretty cool - not a fail at all.<br /> #1 and #6 are my favorites but I think you had a good week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600484 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 04:19:09 +0000 Kate 600484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #5, closely followed by #6 and #1. No misfires in this lineup that I can see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600441 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 02:26:41 +0000 Suz 600441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, you are so darn tough on yourself! Listen, my friend, if those legs are SHORT, then I don't know what to call my poor little stubs! I actually adore that red dress on you. It is strong, bold, and beautiful! </p> <p>I love #1; it is SO striking on you. And #2 is so much fun! Love those booties with the scarf and skirt. I wonder how it would all work with the yellow raisin skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600440 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 02:26:14 +0000 Anonymous 600440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these outfits look wonderful! My favorite is #6 followed closely by #5. You can wear strong color and high contrast so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600433 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 02:15:11 +0000 Kiwichik 600433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta you are way too hard on yourself. To be honest # 4 is my favourite. You have such strong dramatic features and your hair is so sleek this look really plays up the drama of your natural good looks and your height. At least I assume you are tall cos you look tall in the photo. Anyway in the case of # 4 less is definitely more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600432 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 02:12:54 +0000 Sona 600432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>big fan here of 5 and 6. I think you are right it is the lighting that's off in most pics. you have a great collection of clothes and your wiw's are always educational but when you smile you put the wow factor in EVERY wiw!! ( smile more she says) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600412 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 01:43:54 +0000 Sveta 600412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carole, 5 was my fave of the week too!<br /> Aida, you are too kind. (re. pic.4) At first I thought it was a camera angle but the I turned that camera all possible ways with the same results. :-)<br /> Sara A, actually the jacket sleeves in pic.1 are shorter- they have this permanent scrunched style </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600411 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 01:41:01 +0000 Anonymous 600411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, you are so tough on yourself. After reading the text, I lost track of which outfit was supposed to be the *really bad* one. Well after clicking through the photos several times, I still didn't see a bad one in the bunch and had to go up and read it again! I beg to differ with you, and I'm not sure that your legs could ever look short!</p> <p>That said, I'm totally in LOVE with outfit number one (it's more than just *OK). You've really nailed what colors suit you; that purple is TDF. The Trouve blazer is divine, and I love the surprise of the animal print pumps below. Your other colors and silhouettes are wonderful too. Great week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600407 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 01:22:27 +0000 Sarah A 600407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second the "good on" for posting even when you feel it is questionable. I think 4 looks nice, maybe not as fab as some of the others but certainly not bad! I love 5 and 1 the best. I like how you kept your sleeves long in 1 but rolled the jacket up and 5, well everything going on there is just awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600406 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 01:13:06 +0000 Aida 600406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you for posting, but hey these all look pretty fab to me! I really love #1, this shirt color with your darker hair looks very glamorous! I think the hi-lo hem works from what I can see, fun idea to pair over a pencil skirt! I totally want to try that now. #4 isn't nearly as bad as you think, dear. If I hadn't read that you'd forgotten accessories, I would just think you were going for a bold, strong, minimal look. To me the leg line doesn't look shortened nor lengthened, just normal (which is OK in my book, as long as it's not shortened!). Love #5, especially those rocking shades! That is a really cool striped top, lighter on top with darker at the hem isn't something I see often. I like the earthier vibe and colors in #6, not used to seeing you in those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600399 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 01:01:50 +0000 Carole 600399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a KILLER week to me. My favorite of the bunch is 5. Extra glamourous, 4 is a close second! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-again---good-bad-and-ugly#post-600394 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:57:48 +0000 Sveta 600394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another week is gone and here I am again with my WIW pictures - if you are not tired of me yet!:-)<br /> Let's make it clear from the start: I was not ecstatic about every single outfit this week. I did not even want to post some of them but fair is fair when I am playing this game so here they are - good, bad and ugly!</p> <p>pic.1 I am trying to take the pictures outside but it was raining that night and also by the time we come back from work and yoga on Monday it is pretty dark. I guess this one was OK but nothing spectacular although the color of this silk shirt makes me happy.<br /> BR silk shirt, Gibson knit riding jacket from Nordstrom, Paige Canyon Flares from Rack, Fitzwell animal pumps, necklace from a local boutique<br /> pic.2-3 Trying to de-bombshell the pencil skirt following Angie's recipe. Usually I am taking my pictures facing the camera so it is easier to see the outfit but in this case I wanted you to see the high-low effect of the shirt. This is the first time I am trying this shirt with a pencil skirt - what is your verdict? Booties and scarf are my attempt on a pattern mix I also could not resist to post the picture with my red cape - just because I can and because I love this red and blue together!<br /> Denim shirt from Anthropologie, Halogen seamed pencil skirt from Nordstrom, scarf from Winners, David Tate animal print booties, Charlie London red cape from NAS.</p> <p>pic.4 OK, I am embarrassed to have this picture here and I may remove it in a couple of days but I am playing fair and square. The fact is that I did not realize how horrid it looks until I took a picture in the evening. I did not see this in the mirror but see how short my legs look? I also did not add any accessories because I was running late in the morning and FORGOT. Note to myself: it is safer to skip the morning cup of coffee than outfit planning!!!! At least there is a small consolation: this color red suits me :-)</p> <p>pic.5 After the failure of the day before I spent some time that evening planning for the next day and I think it paid off because I was not horrified seeing the picture. This was definitely all black and white day - with the exception of red shoes.<br /> Knit chanel-like jacket, striped sweater and Tahari white shirt - all from Winners, wide leg trousers from Long Tall Sally, Me Too patent red pumps from NAS</p> <p>pic. 6 I wanted to wear my emerald riding jacket so I built the outfit around it. I think it looked good - the scarf is more turquoise than blue IRL. Sorry for the quality of this picture but it started to rain and the light was dismal.:-(<br /> green jacket - my mom, Halogen patterned silk shell - NAS, Paige Hidden Hills bootcuts, Trouve flat oxfords, silk scarf from a street vendor in Paris.</p> <p>As usual all comments and suggestions are appreciated - and have a great weekend! </p>
