You are very good at winterizing a summer dress.<br /> Your blonde hair is shiny and polished looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-139324 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 20:11:49 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 139324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne you look stunning I really like that red on you in the first photo!</p> <p>Leggings with boots (of all colours) is all over London and other cities in Europe if you have a look at Angie's post from Antwerp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-139264 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 08:28:48 +0000 anne 139264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Katiepea and Ele,</p> <p>Ele I didn't think of my knee high black boots with the leggings, although I was planning to wear them with textured tights, but decided the dress was just too short to feel comfortable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-139255 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 07:14:52 +0000 Ele 139255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I missed this yesterday, Anne. Well done! I really like how you "winterized" the spring trends- exactly what I had in mind!</p> <p>I love all the layering going on in the second look. The leggings, dress and coat all falling at different lengths looks very art and eclectic to my eye. It would also be fab with a pair of tall black boots (do you have any of those?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-139242 Wed, 31 Mar 2010 06:03:33 +0000 Katiepea 139242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you certainly know how to rise to a challenge. You look really lovely Anne - what a great MOTG outfit and the night-time outfit also looks fab. Clever lady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-139165 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 23:58:18 +0000 anne 139165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Queenie, Theresa and Louise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-138946 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 08:47:39 +0000 Louise 138946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks Anne x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-138935 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 07:09:06 +0000 Theresa 138935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oooh very nice Anne! </p> <p>LOVE the night on the town outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-138905 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 02:02:25 +0000 Queen Mum 138905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great looks Anne! I love both of them. You look so stylish and casual in your MOTG outfit, and your going out outfit is so fun! great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-138904 Tue, 30 Mar 2010 01:18:03 +0000 anne 138904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Louise - I wrote the post you responded to way too late at night!</p> <p>Okay so I now have my challenge photos up. The main way I found this a "challenge" was that we are a season behind most of you and in addition, I haven't really started my winter shopping yet. So the outfits had to be created from older material.<br /> I toyed with using a polka dot dress (my only spotted item), but thought the 2 looks<br /> were too similar.<br /> Then I planned to resurrect an old 80's shirt that I relegated to the dress up box and see if I could use Angie's white tunic looks as inspiration. But I discovered that the being used as a "dress up" has left the shirt stained irretrievably.</p> <p>So I decided to go with floral dresses as my consistent factor between looks.</p> <p>Here is my MOTG look <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/challenge/100_8294.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_8294.jpg</a><br /> (I think the dress might be a touch too long for this look)</p> <p>and my night out on the town look<br /> <a href="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/challenge/100_8293.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i297.photobucket.com/al.....0_8293.jpg</a><br /> This dress is about 12 years old and little tight (don't know if that is evident in the photos) I first paired it with textured tights and black boots but that felt too short (can't believe I used to wear this bare legged!) so I substituted leggings.</p> <p>The ballet flats are a bit of a cheat because these were a shopping mistake I don't actually wear much because a button fell off them the first time I wore them and I also have major heel slippage.</p> <p>Thanks for the challenge Ele! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-138186 Sat, 27 Mar 2010 02:13:23 +0000 hanna 138186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>got it exactly right louise, thank you! anne, the random number generator is at <a href="http://www.random.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.random.org</a>. just plug in number 1-4 and see what you get. can't wait! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-138077 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:13:06 +0000 Louise 138077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you look at the top of this thread the words highlighted pink 'tasked me' takes you to hanna's post i think i'm right in the following<br /> 1. vani<br /> 2. rute<br /> 3. shana<br /> 4. susan<br /> random number generator link is up there too highlighted pink can't wait to see who you get x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-138038 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 14:50:19 +0000 anne 138038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could someone please help me with the list I need to choose from to do the next challenge? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-137991 Fri, 26 Mar 2010 06:53:31 +0000 anne 137991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am experiencing technical difficulties! Namely<br /> 1) no camera<br /> 2) no laptop to download photos<br /> As DH has taken both away for the weekend. I hope to get back to you on Monday and in the meantime will see about setting the next challenge so as not to hold the chain up too much. I'll try and do it before your new day dawns in the US! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-137224 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:33:02 +0000 marianna 137224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great challenge, Ele! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-137212 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:31:52 +0000 anne 137212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ele. A good thing I checked in to YLF before bed because I was busy all evening and nearly missed this one!</p> <p>I think it is doable. I hope to get back to you within the next few days.</p> <p>Thanks for the compliments re my posts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-ele-challenges-anne#post-137165 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 07:44:05 +0000 Ele 137165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna has <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-attn-ele">tasked me</a> with keeping our challenge group moving while Jenny is away. I drew lucky no. 4 with the <a href="http://www.random.org/">random number generator</a>, so I'm issuing my challenge to Anne. </p> <p>Anne, you're one of the longest-serving members of YLF and our forum would not be the same without you! We all appreciate your pragmatic approach to style, as well as your determination to embrace fashion despite lifestyle (those cute kids) and budget constraints. Personally, I also love your OT posts- you have a way of keeping things interesting around here ;)</p> <p>You're currently gearing up for Autumn and Winter in your part of the world. Since the trends we're experiencing now will reach your shores by next spring, my challenge is aimed at keeping you at the cutting edge of fashion. Using Angie's <a href="http://youlookfab.com/category/spring-2010/">guidance on trends for Spring 2010</a>, I'd like you to pick one look that works for you, be it a particular item, colour combo or silhouette, and winterize it.</p> <p>Because I'm loving all the dual-outfit challenges being issued around here, I'm going to take it a step further, and ask you to create two outfits based on the same trend/look/idea. The first is for your busy life as a MOTG, something you'd wear doing errands or on the school run. The second is for a date with your husband- think dinner and the theatre. There will be bonus points if you can include more than one new trend in your looks!</p> <p>Let me know if you think this challenge is doable, I can always change it up a bit to suit. I can't wait to see what you come up with </p>
