You really nailed the challenge! I hope you put this outfit into your rotation. Love the whimsy of the ring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74467 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:03:50 +0000 Maya 74467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is SPOT ON. Nancy Pelosi is a good choice, style wise. What I love most is that you still look like yourself and the outfit is completely authentic to what I have seen of your style, and yet it met and exceeded the challenge all the same. That rope necklace did the trick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74438 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:18:37 +0000 HannahC 74438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Alecia - I would totally vote for you!!! You might start considering a career in politics, you look so official, polished, and yet chic and very you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74417 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:24:09 +0000 cciele 74417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a great politico look -- strong colors and lines in the suit. And your jewelry adds some individuality to the look. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74413 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:09:48 +0000 Vani 74413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesomely done Alecia!

That skirt is so cute- while still being politico-appropriate. And the ring! I love seeing how accessories, even little ones like rings, can bring an outfit to life. Inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74308 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:44:00 +0000 Anonymous 74308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect Alecia. You look perfectly official, but better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74305 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:27:22 +0000 Angie 74305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER.</p> <p>You nailed it, Alecia. Perfectly politically polished. As odd as it sounds, the ring and your lipstick MAKE the outfit. Well done! </p> <p>Get some rest and feel better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74304 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:05:11 +0000 Ana 74304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit Alecia! I like how the jacket is structured, but you keep it fun with the flirtier skirt. Also, I don't think I've seen your photo in a while. Did you get a new haircut? I really like it this shorter length. :)</p> <p>I hope you're feeling better soon. Take your time, I'm not in a hurry. It's actually been so long I almost forgot I was on the list! Heh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74272 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 03:01:29 +0000 greenglove 74272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific, I love the suit!! The red is great on you. The necklace and the heels really add spark to the professional look. Great job!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74270 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 02:51:56 +0000 hanna 74270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so polished, but still with that little twist of alecia funk. you look stunning! so, so chic - i would totally vote for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74250 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 02:09:08 +0000 bella 74250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, when I read this challenge, I immediately thought of Nancy Pelosi for you. I really like her fashion style and her political style.<br /> You did so well! this is the quintessential power suit with an edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74245 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:54:08 +0000 Kristen 74245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, I like what you did with the power suit! The color of the top is lovely, and the long roped necklace and gorgeous ring are KAPOW great. Pretty heels, a nice tulip skirt -- I'm not seeing a lot of boring here! Nice job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74242 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:47:25 +0000 Alecia 74242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S. - I'll be challenging Ana. Ana, I'm kind of under the weather so it may take me a day or so to post your challenge, but rest assured I am on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74240 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:45:53 +0000 Alecia 74240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. So I'm afraid the outfit I came up with isn't terribly exciting. It goes for the tried and true black and power red look. I think I may be a little limited by my real life experience since I work in politics and can tell you that for every Michelle Obama there's probably 500 people that do frumpy suits. We're not style trend setters as a rule. And it's true, when I think of politics, I think power suit. Personally, if I have to testify in front of a committee, I want to be in a suit. (I once saw a young legislator wear a mini dress to work in the Capitol. She had the bod for it, but people didn't really take her seriously. Like it or not, it's kind of the way it goes.) Nonetheless, I do like to add some whimsy.</p> <p>The article here has some photos of Nancy Pelosi (who looks lovely though traditional) and also speaks well to some of the issues that arise in the space where politics, style, and fashion meet: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/18/fashion/18pelosi.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01.....elosi.html</a></p> <p>So here it is.<br /> <a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/early%20june%20outfits/100_9329.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....0_9329.jpg</a></p> <p>You can see a little of my whimsy in the picture. Here it is up close - my ring:<br /> <a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/early%20june%20outfits/100_9331.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....0_9331.jpg</a></p> <p>Now, let's get to shaking some hands and kissing some babies. You'd vote for me, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74211 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 22:21:53 +0000 shell 74211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>alecia, have you checked out <a href="http://www.mrs-o.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.mrs-o.org</a> ? if you wanted to go the Michelle Obama route, they have tons of great outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74130 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:04:21 +0000 Alecia 74130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm. This one is interesting. I did a little research last night. I have to say, there's not a lot out there. This might take me a day or two to come up with something you haven't already seen. But I'm definitely up for the challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74123 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:43:00 +0000 Vani 74123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh, wonderful challenge shell.

Very creative and appropriate. Nice thinking Shell. I'm sure Alecia is up to it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-challenge-shell-challenges-alecia#post-74033 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 02:57:29 +0000 shell 74033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alecia, your style has truly evolved since you joined the forum! You have literally rocked every single look, from skinnies to leggings to dresses! And you've perfected nearly every wardrobe style - casual (from your fab biking outfits), smart casual, business (you are the queen of suits! love your new charcoal suit!), etc.</p> <p>With that in mind, I'm completely confident you can pull off this challenge...</p> <p>I'd like to see you put together an outfit inspired by a woman in politics.</p> <p>The outfit can be casual, smart casual, business - whatever! Maybe you'd like to rock the belt + cardigan trends of Michelle Obama, don a colorful pants-suit like Hilary Clinton, sport a smart skirt-suit with a bold shoe like Sarah Palin...the list goes on! If possible, it would be nice to see the "inspiration photo" along with your outfit!</p> <p>Good luck! </p>
