Loved to see&nbsp;your "trendy/youtfull" items styled in an "age (and function) appropiate" way! Those jeans are so fringe and special to my eyes, those&nbsp;red shoes with metalic pointed toes are so so&nbsp;gorgeous but &nbsp;they wouldn't shine as&nbsp;'age appropiate" if not styled&nbsp;carefully, like you did! Esp love nr.6 and 8 they&nbsp; landed(including nr 4)&nbsp;to my inspiration folder in a&nbsp;wink of an eye!:-)</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-goldenpig-challenges-kkards#post-1215275 Sun, 06 Apr 2014 01:40:23 +0000 Jaime 1215275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!

I just love how these challenges encourage us to reacquaint ourselves with specific forum member's styles. It's a great way for us to connect, and Natalie did it with her usual style.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for your outfits, Kkards - these are some of your best yet! I couldn't agree more about the camo pants outfit GP posted. That is wonderful. But these are equally great. Love the slouchy sweater and the white pants outfits are wonderful on you. I want to copy #6!! Now, to find me a proper blazer....</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-goldenpig-challenges-kkards#post-1213950 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 12:37:14 +0000 Helena 1213950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific, I especially love #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-goldenpig-challenges-kkards#post-1213943 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 12:18:37 +0000 Anonymous 1213943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look great!

The jeans are paired with a fluid top, a trend i am working on, having over done it in the 80's/90's, and trying to find the right line between fluid and too big. &nbsp;<br />Outfit #2 is how i plan to wear the sweater to work, if it ever gets warm enough to wear these white cotton pants. This outfit also brings in a trend that i'm all over, pointed toe shoes! (please ignore that the pants need to be ironed)<br />Outfit #3 is a work FFBO, but &nbsp;the details in picture #5 are what i think&nbsp;make the difference. hard to see in the picture, but i've cuffed the pants (twice), which is what i think (please let me know if you disagree), make this outfit more modern, or at least more in line with what my younger colleagues are wearing. the shoes are totally on trend and modern, with pointy toes and metal toes cap.&nbsp;<br />my life has reached a pointed where a big night out is dinner with friends or family. outfit #4 (picture 6), is white on white with a mixed media blazer. prior to joining YLF i would have never worn white jeans with black booties, but i love this look. (i make this work for work, i use the white pants from outfit 2)<br />picture #7 is from last week, seasonally confused as it was 25F when i left for work, but forecasted to be 55F at 4:00. my fab bag in action!<br />#8 is from my archives, shown because i'm going to wear a variation of this today.</p> <p>golden pig, thanks for the challenge. it was a lot of fun!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-goldenpig-challenges-kkards#post-1213533 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 21:38:51 +0000 Caro in Oz 1213533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great challenge - can't wait for the pics </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-goldenpig-challenges-kkards#post-1213489 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 20:40:13 +0000 Lisa 1213489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice challenge, looking forward to the looks.&nbsp; And I need to copy that black blazer with camo outfit, a great idea for my office, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-goldenpig-challenges-kkards#post-1213264 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 16:56:08 +0000 April 1213264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, I'll definitely be taking notes on this challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-goldenpig-challenges-kkards#post-1213242 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 16:34:22 +0000 kkards 1213242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great challenge...i'm looking foward to pulling some outfits together after work today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-goldenpig-challenges-kkards#post-1213199 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 15:42:42 +0000 carter 1213199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great challenge, Natalie! KK, as another 50 year old, I'm looking to you to give me some current age appropriate outfits to copy! Can't wait to see what you come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-goldenpig-challenges-kkards#post-1213188 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 15:33:37 +0000 Helena 1213188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-goldenpig-challenges-kkards#post-1213162 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 15:06:38 +0000 Anonymous 1213162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so looking forward to your outfits, KK. Well thought out challenge, Goldenpig. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-goldenpig-challenges-kkards#post-1213110 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 13:42:51 +0000 goldenpig 1213110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so happy I get to challenge kkards! Kkards, we are so lucky to have you as part of the YLF community. I love your modern classic style and you are always up on the latest trends. Whenever you post about an item, I instantly want one! Your style is current, sophisticated and fresh. And your advice and commentary on other people's threads is always spot on.</p> <p>You previously said in your <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-work-this-week-1st-wiw-posts" rel="nofollow">first set of WIW's</a> that you just turned 50, and work for a company where you are one of the oldest women in your department, which is filled with college students in their 20's. Yet I'm pretty sure that they are all looking to you to see what the latest fashions are! You said that one of your style goals is to look current yet "age appropriate". So, my challenge is to create three (or more!) outfits. Each outfit should incorporate at least one youthful or trendy item, yet worn in a sophisticated and "age appropriate" way. A great example of this is your <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shoes-for-valentines-day" rel="nofollow">Valentine's Day WIW</a> where you wore camo pants with a black blazer and pointy red flats to work--I am totally crushing on that outfit and definitely need to copy it!</p> <p>Bonus challenge is to have one outfit for work, one for the weekend, and one for evening.<br />Second bonus challenge is to create an outfit incorporating this <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-not-me-i-had-to-have-it" rel="nofollow">gorgeous Brahmin floral satchel</a> of yours that I totally covet--the floral sister of my striped Brahmin bag!</p> <p>Good luck kkards! I can't wait to see what you come up with! </p> <p>This post is part of the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-okay-here-we-go" rel="nofollow">YLF Challenge Chain</a></p> <p>Previous challenge: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-carter-challenges-goldenpig" rel="nofollow">Carter Challenges Goldenpig<br /></a></p>
