Both outfits look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-catching-up#post-1317498 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 03:35:11 +0000 MsLuna 1317498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kiwigal!</p> <p>I know I can wear grey but I don't always feel fabulous in it. Navy is a weird one because it really depends on the navy. I do much better with ink blue. I've shied away from most neutrals (except black and bright pure white) in the last few years because I just don't feel fabulous in them. I guess in the end, I'm a black and white kinda gal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-catching-up#post-1317489 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 03:23:13 +0000 Sal 1317489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the boots with a skirt look on you. &nbsp;And you definitely suit black.<br />I only rarely duplicate items except for basic tanks or tees. &nbsp;But it does work for some people.<br />I wonder if taupe is your colour though - please forgive me if I am wrong but I think a clear colour, grey or navy might be the one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-catching-up#post-1317480 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 03:15:34 +0000 MsLuna 1317480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! </p> <p>@K: thanks for the advice on dupes! Taupe is not a colour I usually wear so I'm really thinking long and hard about this. I think I'm mainly in love with the drapey floaty top. It's difficult to find a similar top in more vibrant hues. I tend to wear my dupes quite a bit - as long as one is black and the other is a vibrant colour! </p> <p>And this us why YLF is awesome. K, you just reminded me to think before purchasing the dupe! Thanks soooo much!</p> <p>@abc: I heart Campers too, and I can't believe I only discovered them this year! I'm hoping they come up with something really cool for the Agatha line this fall because I LOVE how streamlined this line looks. The one thing my feet love about them is that 1/4 inch "platform" in front and how rigid it is. Gives me pain-free feet at the end of the day (unless I walk more than 2 hours). </p> <p>@Sveta: haha! You know I'm a fall girl at heart so booties in the summer are welcomed! The temperature has fallen between 15 to 25 degrees lately so I took the opportunity to wear these booties </p> <p>You know, if it isn't for YLF, I wouldn't be wearing the booties-with-skirts look. I used to think it cut me shorter, but it gives me that refined urban edge I look for. And haha! I love moody darks. I wish it was clearer but pics 1-2 have black/white/grey/magenta polka dots on them. I wish I can get better lighting at home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-catching-up#post-1317466 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 03:01:42 +0000 Sveta 1317466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katie, it is a treat to see you again! Though it is a shame that you can wear&nbsp;&nbsp;booties in Toronto in July (what is wrong with this crazy weather I ask you!) you do rock them with the skirts. You do moody dark look so well (and the glasses are awesome!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-catching-up#post-1317436 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 02:26:11 +0000 abc 1317436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love to see the campers. I heart that brand of shoes. I second Angie's comment on you wearing black really well. Hope you're feeling better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-catching-up#post-1317419 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 02:11:39 +0000 Kristin L 1317419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think bare legs this time of year is ok. Both outfits look great! The only advice I would give about buying a dupe is making sure you'll wear both. Sometimes I get a lot of wear out of dupes, but most of the time one just hangs out in my closet. But, if you know you'll wear it, then go for it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-catching-up#post-1317349 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:50:10 +0000 MsLuna 1317349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie! I love wearing black and I can't seem to give it up even in the warmer months! </p> <p>Here's a close look at my specs! I got them about a year ago but managed to find them online:</p> <p><a href="http://www.coastal.com/frames/betsey-johnson-harajuku-flower-raven/prod62261.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coastal.com/frames/.....62261.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-catching-up#post-1317333 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:39:01 +0000 Angie 1317333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear tones of black very well, Katie. #1 is just gorgeous. Your specs are divine too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-catching-up#post-1317321 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:28:55 +0000 MsLuna 1317321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be less active in the next few weeks due to my recent workload at work. So WIW's like these will be common. And now, without further ado:</p> <p>#1-2: July 24<br /> My immune system gave up on me that day. I woke up sniffling quite a bit, and later through the day, I had a full blown cold. I took this picture early in the morning when I wasn't red-nosed and tears-eyed notice the semi-tuck on the rolled down, hiked up VC skirt? That didn't last very long. I ended up wearing this old Reitmans top (found in my donate stash) fully untucked and the skirt hiked an inch above the knee. I was surprisingly happy with it that way. It's a shame I didn't have a photo because by the time I got home, I was an absolute sick mess. I worked from home the next day.</p> <p>What do you think of the Reitmans blouse? Should I keep or donate? Shame it's polyester but it was fine for the weather that day</p> <p>Blouse: Reitmans<br /> Skirt: Vince Camuto<br /> Shoes: Camper<br /> Necklace: made by me </p> <p>#3-4: Today<br /> Before YLF I would not... NOT have worn booties on bare legs and a skirt. NEVER! It was a poison eye issue. Now here I am, two outfits in a row! Pic #3 demonstrates the "floatiness" of this Club Monaco top, which I think I wore twice or three times in YLF. I really like its a-line shape and muffin-concealing properties. I love this top so much that I might get the taupe one too. </p> <p>Blouse: Club Monaco<br /> Jacket: Gap<br /> Skirt: Vince Camuto<br /> Shoes: Camper</p> <p>Have a good rest of the week Fab Ones! </p>
