I love that you took the challenge twice -- once for the fantasy life and once for the real one. I bet I would have answered as you did, first time round. Maybe it is an occupational hazard for those of us who live daily casual lives interspersed with big-city trips?&nbsp;</p> <p>The items you picked are all terrific -- I can really see you in one of those jackets, especially the tux one. And your outfits were amazing! I want to say .... better than the original! &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-jewell-challenges-cocolion#post-1231711 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 03:08:18 +0000 Jaime 1231711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Knocked out of the park by the challenger and challengee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-jewell-challenges-cocolion#post-1231690 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 02:45:13 +0000 amiable 1231690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;Super Challenge and Super great results! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-jewell-challenges-cocolion#post-1231688 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 02:39:49 +0000 Jewell 1231688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More applause from me...<br />I'm glad you cheated and took the quiz twice. How fun is it that we get to see the results based on aspirational (life)style and the results based on the current you! The kimono jacket is awesome, and your pajama dressing outfit looks oh so comfortable. And you rock Boho-luxe quite well.</p> <p>I love your five finalists from the collection, too. I can totally visualize the outfits you described featuring the tuxedo jacket. I really enjoyed reading about your thought process, and I'm so glad you had fun with this challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-jewell-challenges-cocolion#post-1231592 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 01:28:10 +0000 Helena 1231592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

I like how you added the second set, the real you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-jewell-challenges-cocolion#post-1231533 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 00:55:53 +0000 CocoLion 1231533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, thanks Angie! &nbsp;There are a lot of fun items in the collection. &nbsp;I did think the collection skewed young, but the 5 items I chose as finalist are so tempting! &nbsp;And more ageless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-jewell-challenges-cocolion#post-1231507 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 00:32:11 +0000 Angie 1231507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely Killer. Another who totally nailed the challenge. (Creative challenge from Jewell too).&nbsp;And I see a little Kate Moss Boho '70s Glam&nbsp;in your general&nbsp;Denise style for sure. You pajama dress like nobody's business. Well done. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-jewell-challenges-cocolion#post-1231495 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 00:24:29 +0000 CocoLion 1231495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now for the outfit creation part!</p> <p>I took the quiz as instructed and my style persona came up as "<a rel="nofollow" href="http://us.topshop.com/en/tsus/category/kate-moss-tailoring-noir-2853257/home?TS=1396870902367">Tailoring Noir</a>." &nbsp;(Picture 1). &nbsp;I was a bit puzzled by this as the dress pictured is very nightlife-oriented. &nbsp;I then realized that I answered the quiz in an aspirational, fantasy lifestyle way. &nbsp;Yes I wish I were in Paris viewing the latest art opening. &nbsp;Yes I can see myself in the VIP lounge at Coachella. &nbsp;And yes I want to look like Sofia Coppolla!</p> <p>So here is the outfit I came up with, which I made my own. &nbsp;By wearing harem pants, it feels more like me and suited to my lifestyle. &nbsp; The fringe bag is an obvious connection to the fringe dress. &nbsp;But I'm afraid that's just about the only literal connection. &nbsp;I have no nightclub dresses at all, and haven't for 20 years! &nbsp;I'm 56 and my clubbing days are well over. &nbsp;However I do think my outfit has that Boho-luxe feeling that Kate is known for, so I was happy with the results.</p> <p>1 -- Tailoring Luxe inspiration<br />2 -- UO harem pants, H&amp;M pastel silky tank, Winter Kate silk jacket, Tylie Malibu fringe clutch, Shoe Mint peep toe shoes. &nbsp;Everything here is at least 2 years old, save for the harem pants. &nbsp;The jacket is over 3 years old and had become an orphan but it looks like it may get a new lease on life as I like the way this cropped jacket works with my ever-growing collection of black harem pants.</p> <p>Now for the part where I change the rules of the challenge. &nbsp;I cheated and took the quiz again, answering the questions in line with my real&nbsp;not fantasy life. &nbsp;My style persona came up as "<a rel="nofollow" href="http://us.topshop.com/en/tsus/category/kate-moss-pyjama-dressing-2853282/home?TS=1396870785018">Pajama Dressing</a>." &nbsp;This is the homebody, not the nightclubber. &nbsp;The floaty kimono styles that are part of this collection reminded me of my Zara jacket from last year.</p> <p>3 -- Pajama Dressing inspiration<br />4/5 -- Zara kimono jacket, Zara oversized tee, Madewell slim boyfriend jeans, Nine West sandals. &nbsp;Everything here is from last year.</p> <p>This was a lot of fun Jewell! &nbsp;Thank you for coming up with such a great challenge. &nbsp;And I am excited to try the tuxedo jacket from the Kate Moss Collection for Topshop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-jewell-challenges-cocolion#post-1231474 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 23:55:35 +0000 CocoLion 1231474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This challenge was more challenging than I thought! &nbsp;But I guess that's the point isn't it, to stretch your style muscles.</p> <p>First -- the Kate Moss Collection. &nbsp;I had great fun looking at all 60 pieces of the collection. &nbsp;The collection, apparently, is based on a lot of Kate's own pieces, how great is that! &nbsp;You get the feeling she had a hand in creating the collection.</p> <p>To pick my favorite was of course very difficult! &nbsp;Boho-Glam-70s-Rocker chic is so up my alley. &nbsp;Pictures 1-5 show the finalists.<br />1 and 2 are really fun jackets that could be dressed up or down.<br />3 -- The perfect dress for opening night at the SF opera!<br />4-- Represents a serious wardrobe hole -- the classic tux jacket. &nbsp;This one isn't super long, which suits me, plus the gold threads work with my blonde hair.<br />5 -- This is really out of my comfort zone, but I've always wanted to try a fit and flare dress. &nbsp;It's supposed to work on hourglass/pears, right?</p> <p>Ultimately I decided to go with #4 the tuxedo jacket. &nbsp;I would style it with black skinny jeans, high heels, and a drapey white tee for dinner out. &nbsp;Or, wear it with a gold tank, my black upscale track pants, and heels for the opera. &nbsp;I just acquired an Isaac Mizrahi leather clutch with a big letter "I" closure for a mere $30 at TJ Maxx, so that would go along with the ensemble.</p> <p>The second part of the challenge is coming right up... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-jewell-challenges-cocolion#post-1230813 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 13:52:18 +0000 April 1230813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY clever challenge, Jewell. &nbsp;And yay, it's Wednesday ==&nbsp; I'm really looking forward to your results, Denise! </p>
