I hope you do get a chance to make your material into a bag. You'll post pics of course, right? I don't know how big the material you have is, but smaller pieces would make awesome coin purses too!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to/page/2#post-71731 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:37:49 +0000 Anonymous 71731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just back from a trip and had to comment how fab you look. Well done! I have some Vietamese needlework that sits in a box. A bag similar to yours would be the perfect use for it! Thanks for the idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-71683 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:57:05 +0000 yublocka 71683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks greenglove!! The earrings are from Aldo. I'd noticed the store in a nearby mall here but never gone in. Then in US/Canada I saw heaps of these stores. So I decided to visit the one back home. I picked these up in both turquoise and red cos I couldnt choose what colour to get. I was going to give one pair to my Mum for mothers day but have ended up keeping both - OOPS!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-71468 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:58:08 +0000 greenglove 71468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this one, you look so amazing.

I love the way you styled this look. That bag just pulls it all together, and I also like how the low-slung belt in the 2nd picture plays with the hem of your turquoise top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70731 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 10:32:29 +0000 yublocka 70731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

Wow, it is so fab and so "Tam"!!! Completely unexpected - when I read "pencil skirt" and "casual", this is definitely not what I pictured, and this unexpectedness is great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70337 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 15:54:40 +0000 Kristen 70337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS.

Pencil skirt looks great and the bag is such a unique touch. I knew you'd come up with a great look. You look amazing! That purple leather jacket is too cool!</p> <p>OK. Im off to the YLF outing with Inge in Rotterdam. Excited! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70303 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 06:48:19 +0000 tarzy 70303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic!

I knew you'd rise to the occasion in your own special “Tam” way. LOVE those earrings! The colour is positively delicious against your complexion! But the bag MAKES the look, and dare I say it, so do the gladiators. (No birkies!) Brilliant. I see many pencil skirts in your future :0). WELL DONE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70283 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:38:02 +0000 lwc 70283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang, Tam! Whatta cool look!!!</p> <p>I luuuuuuuurve that bag! How could you do this to me?!?! *throwing a tantrum that rivals my 2 year old*</p> <p>Note to self: Figure out a way to steal Vietnamese bag from Tam... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70278 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:24:56 +0000 Vani 70278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look FANTASTIC!!! I continue to be besotted with that purple jacket. Blue+purple+red is so awesome. Super well done!</p> <p>I love wearing my gladiator type flat sandals with my denim pencil skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70269 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:09:09 +0000 Maya 70269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look AWESOME in a pencil skirt Tam! And I agree with Alecia that pencil skirt + sandals is so refreshing and unexpected. Both jackets look great to me, and even the belt looks kind of nice where it is, actually, although as a fellow apple I of course I understand your hesitation. Also I really love your hair like that. It looks so feminine and pretty. Job well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70267 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:04:30 +0000 Alecia 70267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam, I don't think you look boxy in a pencil skirt. I love how you've styled it, especially the sandals. I would have never thought of pairing pencil with gladiators like that. I definitely think you need to work out some additional outfits with that bad boy, especially with boots.</p> <p>As for the demin jacket, I think it is a bit boxy, but not so much that it's not workable. It does pale in comparison to the leather jacket. I suppose, it's hardly fair to compare it something so divine. </p> <p>Well played! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70265 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 03:57:06 +0000 bella 70265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love love love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70263 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 03:55:11 +0000 yublocka 70263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright, well here's what I came up with:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/3599842798/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/3599842798/</a></p> <p>I couldn't pass by a challenge that specified "coclourful" and "leather jacket" without going for my new purple leather jacket. I'm actually planning on wearing it out tonight too (as long as it isn't raining).</p> <p>I've called this look "Gyspy meets office", because the dangly earrings with hair pulled back and strappy sandals makes me feel like a gypsy. Wheras the pencil skirt, knit top and belt makes me feel like an outfit I'd wear to work.</p> <p>This outfit is definitely out of my box, I would never have tried making a casual outfit out of this skirt since it is both suede, and a pencil cut. Still, I don't know if the pencil shape is for me. I feel too chunky boxy in it! I think I'm an a-line girl at heart. I've also never worn a belt like this either.</p> <p>And as far as colourful goes, nothing can beat this bag. I bought it in the highlands of Vietnam and the embroidery on it is just divine!!!</p> <p>My first go at this outfit was with leggings, because I was already wearing them today. I think it looks even more casual and colourful without them however:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/3599843932/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/3599843932/</a></p> <p>And then, just to get a bit of YLF feedback, here's a less colourful variation with my denim jacket. I don't wear this jacket often at all, probably because I wear jeans so much. Is this jacket ylf-worthy or too boxy?? Note the red belt has slipped down in this shot - part of the reason I don't wear belts - I have no waist to hold them in place!!!</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/3599844738/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/y.....otostream/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70218 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 00:25:21 +0000 LoP 70218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you had a pencil skirt. I sure you'll come up with something creative either with the skirt or the dress. Looking forward! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70036 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 14:22:42 +0000 Vani 70036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh, can't wait to see you in a pencil skirt Tam. I'm positive you will look smashing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70018 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 08:20:15 +0000 yublocka 70018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I just went rummaging around looking for the dress and found I do indeed own a pencil skirt!! Towards the end of last winter a friend gave me a brown suede skirt her sister had just handed down to her. How could I resist brown suede, as impractical as it may be.</p> <p>Anyway I'll try and make a casual look out of this tomorrow, although I don't really know how to casual-down suede. I love a good challenge!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-legacyofpearl-challenges-yublocka-to#post-70015 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 08:13:31 +0000 yublocka 70015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh my turn - eeek! Thanks for your compliments LOP!!! And this is a great challenge for me: pencil skirts are very much unchartered territory for me!!!</p> <p>One snag though is that I don't actually have a pencil skirt. I remember giving away one that was too big and another that was too tight, both of which I never wore. I do have a pencil skirt shaped dress that I barely wear so I am going to try and make an outfit out of that if that's ok??</p> <p>I have been thinking about retrying the pencil skirt look as it has been a long time since I attempted it; who knows I may like it more now thanks to ylf!</p> <p>Ok so that's a really long winded way of me saying I'm onto it.......stay tuned!!! </p>
