I simply can't pick a favourite. I love each and every single outfit!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-75112 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:43:45 +0000 Inge 75112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for the late reply Ana, but it took me a while to recover from all that stylishness!!</p> <p>You are amazing beyond!! You aced veery era and managed to make every outfit your own. (how do you do it??!!) I am truly in awe, and that's an understatement.</p> <p>(and I'm in love with that black blouse in the first outfit, I want to copy your pose there too, but could never look as elegant as you).</p> <p>I think I need to go lie down again;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-75025 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 04:22:17 +0000 Ana 75025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Thank you all so much! Sorry I haven't responded earlier, I was away from my computer all day. </p> <p>I'm so flattered and thankful for all of the wonderful comments you ladies give me. You guys are really sweet. </p> <p>The 80s inspiration photo with the bathing suit was one of the only ones that had animal print in it! When I saw it I thought, I can definitely do animal print (I love it). Yes, no midriff baring for me (thanks for your faith, Patience, lol). :D</p> <p>The microcheck pants in the Victorian outfit were graciously sent to me by San! They were the size that ended up being too big for her. I LOVE them! Thank you for sending those San! I still need to get them hemmed, I knew they were just what I needed in that outfit, so I just rolled up the hems, hee. </p> <p>Angie, thank you so much for the high compliment! My head is about to explode contemplating the implications of Killer to the power of Killer! </p> <p>Srujana, the red heels are by Stuart Weitzman. They are called, "Muse" pump (I think).</p> <p>Thank you again, everyone! Reading all of your responses really made my day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74974 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:57:14 +0000 Anonymous 74974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another one blown away by your creativity and style! Each one is fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74973 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:51:36 +0000 Maya 74973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG how did I not see this sooner. Ana, you look PHENOMENAL in every outfit! And each one is very true to the era. I'm glad you didn't go before me, as you have set the bar very high! :)</p> <p>BTW it looks like the blonde coloring has settled a bit and I actually like it much more now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74888 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:13:32 +0000 Srujana 74888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i'm totally in awe of how fantastically you pull off such a multitude of looks!! you've totally inspired me....absolutely lovely! (btw, where did you find those red pumps??) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74886 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 15:54:50 +0000 Patience 74886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, wow, wow. SUPER KILLER. I love every single outfit. I'm having a hard time picking a favorite but I think the 00s and 70s tie for tops. I almost feel like comparing different eras is like comparing apples and oranges. Plus I feel like I got a fashion history lesson. ;)</p> <p>P.S. I knew you weren't going to wear a bathing suit or anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74854 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:32:53 +0000 shiny 74854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing! I'm grinning ear to ear over here. I especially like the 80s for some reason - it's probably the pose! They are all amazing. You rock! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74849 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 14:10:34 +0000 Sarah 74849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfits, Ana!

Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74839 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 13:28:16 +0000 Debora 74839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Genius!!! You did an amazing job with this challenge. Not one, but FIVE interpretations! Your unique sense of style and fun shines through. Thanks for making my day, Ana! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74836 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 13:05:29 +0000 greenglove 74836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are breathtaking in every photo. I am so impressed with the way you handled this challenge. I am also recovering from the viewing. 80's was smashing and I love the Victorian interpretation!! Well done!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74824 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 11:13:34 +0000 Kristen 74824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good LORD, woman! You completely ROCKED every era!</p> <p>The attention to detail is what nails the essence of each period: the ribbon bracelet of the 20s, the big heart necklace of the 30s, the lace scarf and the demure secretary pose/vibe of the 40s, the perfect clash/contrast of the yellow and red of the 70s (clashing like the avocado counters and rust shag carpets of those days), the over-the-top zebra print and black cuff of the 80s. And the poses, each so unique to the era as well -- the demure 40s secretary versus the loud-and-proud stance of the 80s! So clever and so well-done.</p> <p>I particularly love that you re-used a couple of pieces in different eras (the red shoes and the red glasses) and they fit each one perfectly. </p> <p>Wow. WOW. My photographer eye and my fashion eye is loving looking at every one of these, separately and together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74818 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:43:45 +0000 HannahC 74818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am right there on the floor next to Lesley, also fell from the chair :)</p> <p>Your outfits are unbelievable!

I love them all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74815 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 08:55:10 +0000 lwc 74815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DAAAAAAAANG!!!</p> <p>*falling backwards in chair* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74785 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:58:58 +0000 planetamy 74785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok so I know the challenge chain don't get a winner...but Ana...</p> <p>YOU WIN. lmao. :)</p> <p>beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74783 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:51:33 +0000 Lena 74783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, I have no superlatives to offer - I'm blown away. I'm really impressed.</p> <p>I especially like the Victorian inspired outfit. I'm taking notes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74771 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:26:49 +0000 marianne 74771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Ana, what a treat! Everything looks fantastic, and the 70s outfit is absolutely mind-blowing! I am also in love with the Victorian outfit, I'd wear in a heartbeat, hee hee. Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74764 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:20:35 +0000 shell 74764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow - you really set the bar high, ana! i'm also in love with the 70's outfit - those pants are perfect for that era! i also love you 1920's/30's outfit - so classy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74756 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:58:54 +0000 Alecia 74756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A+++++! I love it all. I'm so glad you enjoyed the challenge. The fun you had shows through in the pictures.</p> <p>My favorite is 70s. I love the colors and the lines. It's particularly fun because it feels the most like a style stretch for you. </p> <p>Like Laura, I was thinking to myself, "What is going to be the inspiration in this?" when I looked at the second 80s inspiration picture. Whew! I'm glad you didn't drag out your bathing suit as an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74753 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:54:01 +0000 Vani 74753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't think of an appropriate superlative right now....so, will SPEECHLESS suffice??!! Ana, you have such an eye for detail and did such an awesome, awesome job interpreting the different eras. Just absolutely fantastic. If I have to pick a favorite era, it would be the 20s and 40s equally. Phhew! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74752 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:51:59 +0000 Angie 74752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER. Every last one of them. </p> <p>(I see you like your Micro checks!!!) I KNEW you were going to use that beautiful dress for the 20’s inspired look! It’s so, so pretty. </p> <p>I like the 70’s outfit best – probably because it has a 60’s mod feeling to it! It absolutely LAUNCHED me into ORBIT. I’m still recovering. That outfit is KILLER to the power of KILLER. The highest YLF accolade! </p> <p>But the 80’s outfit is a very close second! Know that I adore them all and you are a very stylish little creature who had LOTS of fun putting these outfits together :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74751 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:40:18 +0000 Laura 74751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh. My. Gosh!! This was the most amazing array of outfits EVER. You rocked the challenge. Blew it away, in fact.</p> <p>My favorite is the Victorian look. It was so unexpected to use pants. The 20s-40s looks seem most "Ana" and the 70s look made me chuckle. Those colors!! And love you in your 80s inspired Ray Bans!</p> <p>Also I was slightly scared when I saw your second inspiration photo for the 80s and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw your interpretation P.S. I want a dress like the ones you found for your 80s inspiration. Love them!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74750 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:23:39 +0000 April 74750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Ana - how wonderful! This is a tour de force. </p> <p>I know you say "sack dresses" are not a great look for you, but I think you can totally carry off a 1920s vibe, with your hair in its current bob and those silent-film-star eyes. If ever anyone was made to wear a cloche... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74748 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:13:35 +0000 Anonymous 74748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun and entertaining. You really did your homework.<br /> I really like your creative take on the Victorian era. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74747 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:12:55 +0000 bella 74747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Ana, you set the bar so high, what a great bunch of outfits. I can't believe I'm gonna say this but my favorite is the 80s!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74744 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:06:57 +0000 Ana 74744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay! I couldn't decide on one era, so for fun and fashion I did 1900s-1980s (except for 1950s and 1960s, since that is my usual MO). I also included a couple of "inspiration" images, as per the challenge. It was really fun putting together my usual wardrobe in new and different ways and posing in silly ways (I laughed a lot). Thanks for such a great suggestion, Alecia! </p> <p>1900s/Victorian:</p> <p>Inspiration:<br /> <a href="http://www.alldressforms.com/fashion-costume-plates/11619-victorian-fashions.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.alldressforms.com/f.....shions.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://images.nypl.org/?id=815749&#038;t=r" rel="nofollow">http://images.nypl.org/?id=815749&#038;t=r</a></p> <p>Outfit:<br /> <a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/Ana%20Outfits/1900s.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb...../1900s.jpg</a></p> <p>1920s/1930s (This was by far the hardest for me since sack dresses were in during that time, and that's not a great look for me):</p> <p>Inspiration:<br /> <a href="http://inlinethumb06.webshots.com/12357/2948715640044785100S425x425Q85.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://inlinethumb06.webshots......425Q85.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3132/2669514959_a446cfe5e1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....cfe5e1.jpg</a></p> <p>Outfit:<br /> <a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/Ana%20Outfits/1930s.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb...../1930s.jpg</a></p> <p>1940s:</p> <p>Inspiration:<br /> <a href="http://www.fenderskirtsvintage.com/store/images/fashthumbs.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.fenderskirtsvintage.....thumbs.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://www.fashion-era.com/images/1948_dress_patterns/fashion3013n3014.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.fashion-era.com/ima.....3n3014.jpg</a></p> <p>Outfit:<br /> <a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/Ana%20Outfits/40sOutfit.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....Outfit.jpg</a></p> <p>1970s:</p> <p>Inspiration (Surprisingly, not bohemian):<br /> <a href="http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/6016/4220040313cv2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img253.imageshack.us/im.....313cv2.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://www.thewistfulrepublic.com/images/vintage%20scans/1970s/1970_todd_ad_sm.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.thewistfulrepublic......_ad_sm.jpg</a></p> <p>Outfit:<br /> <a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/Ana%20Outfits/70sOutfit2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....utfit2.jpg</a></p> <p>1980s:</p> <p>Inspiration:<br /> <a href="http://i42.tinypic.com/2z52nmg.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i42.tinypic.com/2z52nmg.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3010/2476390056_b9e929d017_o.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://farm4.static.flickr.com.....d017_o.jpg</a></p> <p>Outfit:<br /> <a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/Ana%20Outfits/1980s.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb...../1980s.jpg</a></p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74379 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:05:15 +0000 shell 74379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh can't wait to see the results! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-alecia-challenges-ana#post-74376 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:02:41 +0000 Ana 74376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great challenge, Alecia, thank you!

So great job Alecia, I love this challenge!! </p>
