I think the simplicity of the rest of the outfit keeps it out of the realm of costume. I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-831244 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 20:06:23 +0000 Suz 831244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE #1 for you, Jayne...Mochi needs to see this. It's a great Romantic Dandy look. As an Urban Prince I have a soft spot for that... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-831152 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 18:48:46 +0000 Thistle 831152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree. #1 is definately the better of the two. Gotta love it when things start clicking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-831031 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 16:32:44 +0000 dizzys 831031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should go see Les Miserables in that LOL. Nice modern 1800's military vibe...I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-831027 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 16:29:20 +0000 Anonymous 831027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the bow blouse but perhaps you should iron the bow a bit? RATE does not really go with a bow blouse, if you know what I mean.<br /> #1 is great! Success! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-831020 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 16:25:10 +0000 Anonymous 831020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1, I think the costume elements to it are fun! As long as you aren't wearing breeches and riding boots or something also, I think it is very evocative of a different time and place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-831017 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 16:23:10 +0000 Angie 831017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did a super job with #1! A great Dandy Look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-830975 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 15:45:00 +0000 Niefern 830975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love outfit #1 and I would dare, yes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-830961 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 15:36:32 +0000 jayne 830961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I certainly did better, I have tried but not photoed this with a regular button down shirt, but the collar is wrong against this jacket. I like the drama of the bow, smiles! But glad to hear your thoughts... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-830840 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:56:05 +0000 Archer 830840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You absolutely shine the first photo with the bow at the neck. You have the haircut that suits it too. Sartorial and complete. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-830822 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:14:05 +0000 unfrumped 830822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 better. Not the bow, but the high collar . Your instincts are right there. Any chance of a plain stand-collar white blouse? Alternatively somehow buttoning and popping the collar of a regular shirt . I hear the " buttion - down" advice but a regular collar lying squashed also competes with the jacket look .</p> <p>Your keep- trying approach is great, and something I am trying to do more of. Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-830812 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 11:45:58 +0000 Karie 830812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket, but would wear it with a fitted shirt (button down or long sleeved T) sans bow, that way the standout piece would be the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-830799 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 10:28:15 +0000 rute 830799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket is gorgeous!!<br /> I like the color of the shirt in 1 with this jacket, but not the bow. You should try this jacket with a simple fitted white t-shirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-830795 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:16:41 +0000 Hil 830795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like picture 1, costume factor and all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-830789 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 08:35:01 +0000 anne 830789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know it I would dare, but I do like it and agree that the first photo looks better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-at-first-you-dont-succeed#post-830787 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 07:55:16 +0000 jayne 830787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Photo 2 was my first attempt at a little Bohemian style with this black wool military style jacket....I was not happy with it..<br /> Photo 1 is the new try with a Ralph Lauren high collar blouse. I feel this is much more what I was trying to achieve.<br /> Yes, a bit of a costume, but high happiness factor! Having fun with clothes!</p> <p>What do you think? Would you dare? </p>
