It's good to be challenged. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-rabbit-challenges-fastkat#post-1256380 Tue, 20 May 2014 13:35:56 +0000 Suz 1256380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad I caught this! You look fantastic! And let me tell you, your accessorizing has mine beat. You managed to create three very different outfits from these simple ingredients. And what's more, while you have accessorized, the way you've done it still appeals to my own minimalist style gene.&nbsp;I think my favourite is #1. But they are all wonderful on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-rabbit-challenges-fastkat#post-1256345 Tue, 20 May 2014 12:29:33 +0000 Elizabeth P 1256345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done fastkat!&nbsp; So fun to see how accessories make such a difference to what we all wear at some point... a tee and jeans.&nbsp; <br />And I'd say you covered off the first challenge option as well, with the bold colours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-rabbit-challenges-fastkat#post-1255588 Mon, 19 May 2014 14:31:42 +0000 Angie 1255588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, Fastkat.

I especially like the pink jacket with cobalt necklace and clutch,both ways. The white tee is a great shape, and I want to try the way you are wearing your scarf knotted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-rabbit-challenges-fastkat#post-1255449 Mon, 19 May 2014 08:10:43 +0000 Ledonna N. 1255449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, fastkat you did a great job really enjoyed your light weight layers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-rabbit-challenges-fastkat#post-1255379 Mon, 19 May 2014 03:37:55 +0000 rabbit 1255379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job! &nbsp; I think you got the perfect balance of enough accessories to add interest and texture, but still a cohesive and minimalist overall look. &nbsp;Nice!</p> <p>In #1 I think the cropped blazer looks great on you, especially over the flowy tee, and the two gold accents are really nice. &nbsp; With this necklace and the blue one the shape and length work very well with the neckline of the tee too (that's the part I get stuck on myself&nbsp;;) ).&nbsp;</p> <p>#2-3 &nbsp;The Hot pink and bright blue are great together. &nbsp;I like how the first look is a little more streamlined (and I think the nude pumps are good, but like you say, a blue shoe would work well too). &nbsp; But I also really like how rolling the sleeves in the second look shows some pattern which is echoed in the surface of the bag and the studs of the sandals.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4 &nbsp;Looks so comfortable and the raffia bag and knotted scarf are casual chic, just the kind of thing for a lot of walking around.</p> <p>Thanks for sharing! &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-rabbit-challenges-fastkat#post-1255333 Mon, 19 May 2014 03:04:39 +0000 Neel 1255333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great challenge rabbit! And great work fastkat! I love you pink blazer outfit the most. You are right that bright suit you so superbly well!! The cobalt blue accessories are perfect and it truly looks glam with the nude pumps.

I've never realized how much changing up accessories can do for an outfit, but I do now!&nbsp;I'll have to try it myself. :^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-rabbit-challenges-fastkat#post-1255296 Mon, 19 May 2014 02:26:03 +0000 Joyce B 1255296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits look fab and so different with just a few changes.

You really changed the entire vibe with the accessories. Both jackets are terrific.

I have always been an earring lover and have trouble with necklaces and bracelets. &nbsp;For some reason I don't think they look good on me or maybe I'm afraid necklaces and bracelets aren't "me". &nbsp;I'm getting over that notion.</p> <p>This was a fun&nbsp;challenge and I am motivated to purchase more modern and stylish accessories. &nbsp;(I tried to use a lot of what I already own.)</p> <p>Thank you to rabbit for this fun and much needed&nbsp;challenge.&nbsp;</p> <p>Photo #1:&nbsp;My simple outfit is boyfriend jeans and a white loose t-shirt. &nbsp;</p> <p>Photo #2 and #3: &nbsp;Lightweight black cropped blazer (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.kennethcole.com/product/index.jsp?productId=31753826">Kenneth Cole Debbie Blazer</a>), gold necklace, gold hoop earrings,&nbsp;black clutch, and Sofft gladiator sandals. &nbsp;The sandals have a gold accent piece on top of the shoe. &nbsp;I'm going out on a limb with this cropped blazer. &nbsp;I'm not sure it works with my body shape but I think it looks okay. &nbsp;I would wear this on a fun&nbsp;night out -- dinner with my husband or with the girls.</p> <p>Photo #4: &nbsp;Pink Vince Camuto One-Button blazer, nude pumps (Vince Camuto), blue statement necklace, blue blazer. &nbsp;I think a blue pump or sandal would be great with this outfit. &nbsp;</p> <p>Photo #5: &nbsp;In this photo I rolled the sleeves of the blazer and replaced the pumps with a&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.koolaburra.com">Koolaburra </a>studded nude sandal.</p> <p>Photo #6 and #7: &nbsp;Casual daytime look. &nbsp;White watch, scarf, white sneakers and a raffia bag. &nbsp;I would wear this to run errands&nbsp;or to catch a minor league baseball game.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and thanks again to rabbit for the challenge. &nbsp;When it comes to accessories,&nbsp;I'm excited about adding more&nbsp;to my wardrobe and thinking more carefully about them.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-rabbit-challenges-fastkat#post-1250953 Tue, 13 May 2014 23:44:11 +0000 Caro in Oz 1250953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another great challenge, can't wait to see the results </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-rabbit-challenges-fastkat#post-1250827 Tue, 13 May 2014 21:24:59 +0000 April 1250827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, choosing the challenge! &nbsp;Love that twist. &nbsp;(FK, pick the one that seems hardest...) &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-rabbit-challenges-fastkat#post-1250580 Tue, 13 May 2014 15:57:22 +0000 Lisa 1250580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fun challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-rabbit-challenges-fastkat#post-1249835 Mon, 12 May 2014 19:56:24 +0000 LoriFLA 1249835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rabbit, thanks so much for this exciting&nbsp;challenge!
