What an amazing job, MG. I'm especially impressed that you went so far as to pull your hair back and highlight your face more to emulate the effect of STW's pixie cut. You must get extra points for that! And BTW, I love that lip shade on you. Lovely pics, all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal/page/2#post-1206924 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 19:44:36 +0000 Neel 1206924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done MG!! I love your skinnies outfit the most!! This was a tough one! Wow! Kudos to you for doing it so well!

I also really like your shirt back. Not many women can look so good that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206886 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 18:42:36 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1206886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also meant to comment that I was so impressed by the time and thought you took to recognize patterns and things about my style that I never stopped to consider! I agree with Suz - very thoughtfully done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206884 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 18:40:27 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1206884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how fun! You did such a wonderful job and I can't tell you how great it was to see my style interpreted on someone else. You look so lovely in the blue dress with beige shoes (definitely a me look) and I love the makeup and hair pulled back. I loved all of these on you, and of course, you know I love the skinnies/sweater combo. I also enjoyed seeing how the same outfits and looks can be changed up significantly with (or without) accessories and hair/makeup. As beautiful as I think you look in the me-inspired looks, I love your own looks the most. Seeing you in the same outfits tweaked YOUR way made me say "Oh yes, there she is! That is the MuseumGal we know and love,," </p> <p>PS- definitely happy to be your Converse twin!!<br /> PPS - I am wearing a necklace today! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206782 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 17:11:27 +0000 Suz 1206782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great sport you are and what fantastic interpretations of STW's style! You managed to channel her spirit beautifully and you were so thoughtful about it, too. I love today's outfit and I agree with you that it absolutely feels a bit like something she would wear. And you look lovely with your hair back, by the way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206750 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:51:00 +0000 Hil 1206750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic job MG! I love what you did with each of the interpretations! I loved the ladies who lunch dress but the skinnies outfits are just so you! </p> <p>I think that challenges like this can be so useful, either to try different looks that you haven't thought of or even if only to reinforce where we are at style wise. I hope this was the case for you. </p> <p>Thanks for rising to the challenge - you rocked it and looked fab!!! </p> <p>xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206747 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:48:11 +0000 rachylou 1206747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohmigosh, what a fabulous challenge to exercise the fashion chops and what wonderful answers. It's amazing to see what you did, Museum Gal. Really quite subtle, but you definitely changed fashion voices.</p> <p>I quite like your 'lady guise." I must say, tho, you look quite sober in your lady guise. Like you have a ruler and aren't afraid to use it, lol... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206744 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:45:41 +0000 Alexandra 1206744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, amazing! I really love how you look with your hair pulled back. Your face is beautiful and it gets to take center stage. I like all your outfits but am especially partial to #2 both ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206739 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:40:09 +0000 carter 1206739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For not being terribly comfortable in "ladylike" stylings, you certainly look fantastic in them! My favorite is the "ladies who lunch" look. Excellent job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206735 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:38:24 +0000 Glory 1206735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MG you knocked it out of the park with this challenge. I love the saturated blue for you. And the flowy cardi is excellent as well. I LOVE your hair back - very pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206731 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:35:28 +0000 Anonymous 1206731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, MG, you really rose to the challenge. Your interpretations of STW's style are lovely and of course you've made them your own. I love the two versions of the blue dress and your skinnies and flowy cardi outfit with the leopard print tank is gorgeous!.Great job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206726 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:26:58 +0000 Helena 1206726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look great. The blue dress is an absolutely GORGEOUS color on you and I really love the flowy cardi over skinnies outfits. Well done - now I have to go look at some more of STW's outfits!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206721 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 16:23:53 +0000 MuseumGal 1206721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Hil, this was pretty challenging!&nbsp; I had a look through SarahtheWhite’s past posts, and the things that jumped out at me were: soft, ladylike, draped but fitted, muted colors, pumps and high heels, and and open neckline with <i>no necklaces</i>.&nbsp; OMG!&nbsp; How am I going to make that work?!&nbsp; Another aspect of STW’s style is that her platinum pixie (and lack of necklaces) really focuses attention to her face.&nbsp; </p> <p>&nbsp;So here’s what I did – I put my hair up, put in my contacts, and put on makeup so that there’d be a similar focus on my face.&nbsp; Then I chose some pieces from my wardrobe that I felt had a sort of a soft ladylike STW feel and am showing them 1st, how I’ve actually worn them in the past, and then styled to reflect a STW influence.&nbsp;</p> <p>1) - This is a rather<span> ladylike dress that I’ve only worn once because it’s so … well… <i>ladylike</i>.&nbsp; When I originally wore it (March of last year) I tried to funk it up a bit with lapis jewelry, a suede jacket, and groovy granny boots (2 left photos).&nbsp; This time I let the femininity take center stage – nude(ish) pumps, pearl earrings and braclets, a clutch, and an open neckline (right photos).&nbsp; And really, this was too ladylike (and bodycon) for my comfort.&nbsp; I'm keeping the dress, but when I wear it next, will wear some light shapewear underneath, I think, and of course a cami for cleavage control, and I quite like the original way I wore it with the big lapiz necklace.<br /></span></p> <p>2) - Another ladylike dress that I actually wear quite often in the summer because it's so dang comfy.&nbsp; But usually I go boho as you can see in the left photo I wore it with a lapiz necklace and flat toe ring sandals.&nbsp; This time I wore brown pumps, a brown belt, and this Brahmin bag I thrifted but never wear.&nbsp; This incarnation felt very "ladies who lunch," and I could see myself wearing it this way to do exactly that (although I'd leave off the belt).</p> <p>3) STW often wears skinnies, pumps, and a flowy cardigan over a fitted top.&nbsp; This grey flowy cardi has been previously worn with skinny jeans, so instead of pairing with yet another lapiz necklace and dansko sandals, as I've done in the past (left), today I added (right) a leopard print tank, purple pumps, and dangly earrings (STW does sometimes wear long dangly earrings).&nbsp; I would totally wear this in public although I'd add some funkier jewelry.</p> <p>4) - Finally, this is what I'm actually wearing today and I'm including it b/c I think it's still somewhat STW inspired - same jeans and tank and earrings, but my grey Cons (she recently bought a pair herself), and - here's where we get back to MG territory - and old flannel shirt of the husband's, and my tassel necklace.</p> <p>This was hard!&nbsp; But really useful, b/c I used to dress in a much more overtly feminine manner (I still have the pieces, obviously), and it no longer feels really comfortable to me.&nbsp; Thanks Hil for a great challenge, and I hope STW approves!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206423 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 05:26:50 +0000 adorkable 1206423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another killer challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206356 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 03:47:19 +0000 Beth Ann 1206356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great challenge!&nbsp; Look forward to seeing the result! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-hil-challenges-museumgal#post-1206186 Thu, 27 Mar 2014 00:26:26 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1206186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh goodness!
