Angie, the bag is leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134676 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 18:32:26 +0000 Angie 134676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, is the red cross body bag leather, or canvas? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134626 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:26:31 +0000 Louise 134626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red bag is lovely though i agree it would fit better with more casual outfits. Personally i prefer cross body bags a bit lower down on the hip but that's just a personal thing x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134618 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:09:41 +0000 Queen Mum 134618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle- that is a really cute red cross body bag. I might be alone in this, but I really see that bag with a more casual outfit- like the clams and sleeveless shirt in your last outfit picture.<br /> maybe you could post a close up picture (or link) of the bag so we can get a better look at it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134616 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:06:06 +0000 bella 134616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done Michelle! I love you in skirts. The second outfits is gorgeous.<br /> I really like the red bag. It looks a bit casual, so it would work well with all your spring/summer casual outfits. I like to wear my cross-body bag a little lower on my hips. Can you do that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134612 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:00:58 +0000 Vani 134612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness, how stunning you look Michelle! The b&amp;w dress with the colorful accessories, the beautiful color of the first dress - just blew me away! AND you look so cool, comfortable and stylish in the clams outfit. I can't wait for it to warm up where you are so we can see more of your killer outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134595 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:26:05 +0000 Michelle 134595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you for the validation, everyone! I was feeling awfully self-conscious in these outfits yesterday, and I'm glad to know they pass muster.<br /> One quick question... The red bag I'm wearing in the first picture...What kind of rating would you give it? It was a gift, and I want to know exactly what kind of possibilities I have with it and whether I have an average or fab piece to play with.</p> <p>Thanks again for the challenge, Tam! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134566 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 07:00:51 +0000 RoseandJoan 134566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Michelle, you look so polished in your outfits, I love each one and the pieces you have had altered look fantastic. I will be copying the white, green and metallic colour combination. Thank you for the inspiration.</p> <p>Here's a link to your pearl thread Michelle, I noticed Angie had left a comment for you<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/description-request-carrie-bradshaws-long-pearl-necklace" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....l-necklace</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134554 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 04:19:44 +0000 NK 134554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice!

All sooo different and all so FAB I LOVE the black and white dress. I can't express how incredibly flattering that is on you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134458 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:48:02 +0000 yublocka 134458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Michelle, talk about rising to the challenge!! I hope you are feeling better after your weekend away!</p> <p>I adore both of your dresses. The colours and print of the first one are so great on you. Cross-body bag totally works as well.</p> <p>Again the print on the second is marvellous. This style truly shows your weightloss progress Michelle - you look tiny. Seeing your gorgeous turquoise beads is making me covet them even more too!!</p> <p>And I love #3 as a more casual outfit. The shorts and sandals look is great on you as well.</p> <p>Seems like you are all set for summer - yay! I agree a few more dresses would be fab as you totally rock them!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134451 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:33:01 +0000 greenglove 134451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WoW!! I am impressed with the beauty and practicality of the outfits. I love the necklace on you. I cannot wait to see the perfect denim jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134449 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:28:37 +0000 Anonymous 134449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The beautiful Michelle knocks the ball out of the park! You look amazing. You are so shapely and look stunning in all of your summer dressses and clams. I am so impressed with your taste in style.<br /> Great job on the challenge. It is very early to dig out the summer clothes. You must have had to go to the bottom of the drawer and end of the closet to find these gems, and then to style them too gives you extra credit.<br /> Do you have a special tailor, or did you take your items to be modefied to one you found in the phone book. I love the cut of the sleeveless blouse at the shoulder. On the pants I think they could be a bit more tapered, on the inside seam towards the knee. That is if they are stretch fabric. They are fine as is, if that is not doable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134446 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:21:46 +0000 Debora 134446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab! Fab! Fab! Well done, Michelle! You are ahead of the game and ready for summer! You look beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134436 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:49:08 +0000 Angie 134436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief, Michelle. You look FABULOUS! </p> <p>I absolutely *love* each outfit and can't pick a favourite. In fact, that first blue/green dress is probbaly my favourite dress of the two and will look equally amazing with the same turquoise beads. You rock dresses! </p> <p>That's how to wear a sleeveless woven top with clams. You are hot! So hot that you inspired the very stylish Marianna. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134434 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:33:46 +0000 Louise 134434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow- my absolute favourite is the black and white dress with the turquoise necklace x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134432 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:29:30 +0000 Maya 134432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, the second outfit just FLOORED me. You look gorgeous. The other two are beautiful as well but that one just blew my mind. The turquoise, black, red, and white are amazing together. </p> <p>I love you in that blue-green dress as well. These outfits are really showcasing your weight loss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134430 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:20:38 +0000 marianna 134430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look sooo good Michelle! THAT'S how you wear the YLF necklace! It looks sooo good on the black and white dress... and red shoes! I love this outfit.</p> <p>You also inspire me with your white clams. I don't wear white bottoms but seeing you wear them effortlessly motivates me to give them a try! They look great. Love the pewter sandals too.</p> <p>The multicolor dress is extremely flattering on you as well. You look great in sleeveless garments!</p> <p>Great job on this challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-134429 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:15:48 +0000 Michelle 134429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for bearing with the delay for this challenge! I really hope it hasn't set anyone back too far. </p> <p>This was a great challenge, as it prompted me to revisit my summer pieces while incorporating a couple of new items. Tam asked me to come up with go-to looks for scorching hot days, which we have in abundance in Toronto (temperatures are frequently in the 30-38C or 95+F range, and the humidity is a killer). In keeping with this instruction, I'm wearing as few layers as possible in the three looks I've put together here:</p> <p>1. Colourful dress, turquoise necklace meant to pick up one of the colours in the pattern, white sandals, red cross-body bag given to me as a birthday present (verdict on this piece, please):</p> <p><a href="http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww100/flowerstrewn/challengechainoutfit1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i709.photobucket.com/al.....utfit1.jpg</a></p> <p>2. Black and white dress, turquoise ylf-store necklace, red sandals, cream-ish bag:</p> <p><a href="http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww100/flowerstrewn/Challengechainoutfit2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i709.photobucket.com/al.....utfit2.jpg</a></p> <p>3. This outfit consists entirely of pieces that I had altered last summer and then never wore, and I really hope they get approval now because I like the results more than I expected to. Green top that I had made sleeveless, white capris shortened to what I believe to be clam length, purple earrings, pewter thong wedge sandals, cream-ish bag:</p> <p><a href="http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww100/flowerstrewn/Challengechainoutfit3.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i709.photobucket.com/al.....utfit3.jpg</a></p> <p>Tam wanted to know what gaps I've identified in my summer wardrobe. First and foremost, I need to find the perfect denim jacket as well as a couple of cardigans. I'm waiting to see where my weight loss is at before purchasing these items. The same goes for the polkadot dress/top I'd like to acquire, the properly-fitting white jeans (my old pair grew too much even pre-weight-loss), and the military jacket I still need. A white dress would be great to have, but isn't a huge priority; I'm far more in need of attractive, polished looking woven tops (one of which will hopefully be lilac). I'm incredibly annoyed at myself for gifting a beautiful navy blue bag last year; it would have come out to play this season. I'd love to get a pair of flesh-toned heels, but will need help figuring out exactly what shade that would be on me. Shopping strategy will take shape as my weight loss progresses (knock on wood). </p> <p>Off to challenge someone now; thanks for the great task, Tam! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-133927 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:48:32 +0000 yublocka 133927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, no dramas! Don't worry about this in the slightest. Sunday will be fine, or if you're not up to it just pass for now. Don't fret about it though with so much other stuff going on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-133692 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:17:58 +0000 Michelle 133692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry I didn't post the pics last night. Yesterday's events sort of drove the challenge from my mind, to be totally honest. And now I'm going away for the weekend and won't be able to post anything until Sunday. Hannah and/or Tam, would you like me to issue a new challenge now before completing this one, or will Sunday night be ok? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-133141 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:00:14 +0000 yublocka 133141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds great Michelle - can't wait! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-133087 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 02:44:39 +0000 LoP 133087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam: Well done! I love this challenge.</p> <p>Michelle: I logged in for a few minutes while working on something and saw your response to the challenge. I had to comment to tell you that you're an amazing person. Even this response shows how you're considerate of others and respect their time. I can't speak for others, but issuing the challenge after you're done tomorrow would be a great turn around I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-133056 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:50:38 +0000 Michelle 133056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, great challenge Tam! Doable and practical are right up my street. I'll post pics and the list tomorrow evening; hope that doesn't delay proceedings for too long! If it does, let me know and I'll issue a challenge during the day before completing my own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-133025 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:13:59 +0000 April 133025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping for Michelle... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-chain-yublocka-challenges-michelle#post-132964 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:56:57 +0000 yublocka 132964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I drew lucky #1 on the list, Michelle, whom we have had the priviledge of watching blossom over the last few months. We've seen gorgeous jackets and winter wear, but I am wondering how Michelle feels about the impending spring/summer seasons. I thought this question up even before seeing Angie's blog post today, but this makes it even more timely.</p> <p>Michelle, I'd like to see a go-to everyday look that will make you feel fab on a roasting hot day. I'd also be interested in hearing what holes your summer wardrobe has and what your summer shopping strategy will be.</p> <p>Hope this works for you!</p> <p>Here's the remaining challenge list as it now stands....</p> <p>1. april<br /> 2. ana<br /> 3. an<br /> 4. legacy of pearl<br /> 5. mamapicklejuice<br /> 6. kari</p> <p>the last person picked from this group will challenge sarah. use the random number generator at <a href="http://www.random.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.random.org</a>. </p>
