In fact, you have inspired me to bring my vest back out (I had put it away because it was too tight to button) and try wearing it open over the grey banded top I got at NHYS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-/page/2#post-68352 Fri, 29 May 2009 09:52:13 +0000 Kristen 68352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another one knocked out of the park! Love the sleeveless cream with the vest -- and the shoes work very well too! (Are they spectators?) I think you captured the essence of the challenge perfectly, and you look fab to boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-/page/2#post-68351 Fri, 29 May 2009 08:59:16 +0000 yublocka 68351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love Sarah!! What impresses me most is how youve adapted the layered look of menswear for hot weather. Love love love the vest with the blousy top!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-/page/2#post-68336 Fri, 29 May 2009 06:32:12 +0000 HannahC 68336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah,</p> <p>Just so you know - I bookmarked your picture in this outfit and went to look at it again today - I love it so much! The little touches - the necklace and the shoes - really take it to the new level of perfect. Hmmm ... I feel I need a necklace like yours </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-/page/2#post-68316 Fri, 29 May 2009 03:56:35 +0000 Kari 68316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, wow - I love the way you put this together, and like Hannah mentioned, I like how you wear volume in a way that still shows us your shape. The open but fitted vest really helps. You look amazing in a dress, but you can definitely rock pants, too.</p> <p>You have the most beautiful doe eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-/page/2#post-68182 Thu, 28 May 2009 18:43:48 +0000 hanna 68182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>tara there are two pools! there were so many interested participants we thuoght it best to break it up. so you are in the other one, and i have already posted my challenge for you in this thread: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hanna-challenges-tarzy-to?replies=3" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....?replies=3</a></p> <p>good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-/page/2#post-68179 Thu, 28 May 2009 18:35:21 +0000 tarzy 68179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course Sarah manages to look utterly feminine in menswear! Brava! I am taking notes indeed.</p> <p>(Hanna - I didn't see my name on the list!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-/page/2#post-68175 Thu, 28 May 2009 18:18:09 +0000 HannahC 68175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I am in complete and total amazement over your pictures!!! How do you manage to do it? The top! the waistcoat! the necklace! the trousers! the shoes!!! It is at the same time menswear-inspired AND feminine, and it is so very you! And you did volume that doesn't hide your pretty figure! </p> <p>WOW! I am so glad I gave you this challenge It was such a treat to see your otufit! And yes, the cream top is totally fine It is more than fine, it is fabulous, all together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-/page/2#post-68171 Thu, 28 May 2009 18:09:24 +0000 LoP 68171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely stunning! Great job with the challenge! I'm starting to get worried that I would lower the standard of what we've seen in the challenge with my limited out of the suitcase wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-/page/2#post-68170 Thu, 28 May 2009 18:03:09 +0000 Maya 68170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking, while looking at these pictures, that a hat would be the perfect bookend to this look, but I wasn't sure if you were ready to take it to that level just yet! I'm partial to the gray one with the not-too-obvious bow. </p> <p>And, just keep reminding yourself that volume isn't the same as baggy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-/page/2#post-68164 Thu, 28 May 2009 17:32:17 +0000 Sarah 68164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS: These are the fedoras I like<br /> <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=26510&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=626196&#038;scid=626196002" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=626196002</a><br /> <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=26510&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=626154&#038;scid=626154002" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=626154002</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-/page/2#post-68161 Thu, 28 May 2009 17:29:36 +0000 Sarah 68161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks everyone!! I appreciate the kind comments. I'm really happy with how my outfit turned out for sure. I'm waiting on pins and needles to see what Hannah thinks!<br /> I've been apprehensive about wearing trousers and jeans lately, but I have to say that I like how this looks. I'm definitely planning on experimenting more. I also like the voluminous top idea for me, too. I've had a hang up about voluminous anything. When I was a bit heavier I wore baggy clothing to conceal my extra pounds. Once I lost the bulk of the weight it was really difficult to first get rid of those, and now it's hard to wear anything even remotely similar. But I think the pendulum is swinging back somewhere in the middle. Thanks for the confidence booster! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-/page/2#post-68159 Thu, 28 May 2009 17:28:13 +0000 Anonymous 68159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful Sarah!

I came up with<br /> <a href="http://letitrainagain.blogspot.com/2009/05/blog-post_28.html" rel="nofollow">http://letitrainagain.blogspot.....st_28.html</a><br /> You really challenged me! I love menswear inspired fashion a lot. But no white button down and a voluminous top required (and no belt!) definitely took me for a spin. I am short on tops at the moment, so I hope a pearly cream is okay. This is also the most voluminous top I have at present that goes with my only trousers. And most tops that are *supposed* to be voluminous stop short once they meet my pear hips. My shoes aren't exactly oxfordesque, but I think they fit nicely with the look.<br /> I have been wearing a lot of dresses lately because of the heat and because I'm finding trousers and jeans more difficult find lately.<br /> So cheers to you HannahC for rekindling my love of menswear. I've always wanted to try a tie, and there's a certain fedora at Banana Republic that has been calling my name for quite some time. So thank you for pointing me in this direction. I hope I didn't disappoint! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hannahc-challenges-sarbear-to-#post-68049 Thu, 28 May 2009 10:29:55 +0000 Kristen 68049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heh, I'm very glad to have a new addition to the team; I'm going out of town for a week starting Saturday, and I was getting worried we were going to burn through everyone before I got back and had full access to my closet again!
