Such mischief! I look like I'm about to go sell someone some swampland and the Brooklyn Bridge...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/3#post-905749 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 03:57:43 +0000 Aida 905749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Late to the thread, but here's my outfit from yesterday!<br /><br />For this poster art I was really struck by the Mondrian-esque vibe and how the expanse of white really lets Holly stand out. Details in my <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0410-breakfast-at-tiffanys" rel="nofollow">WIW post for the day</a> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/3#post-905641 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 01:50:08 +0000 Angie 905641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I also had fun browsing through! Lots of creativity :)<br /><br />Rachy, It was EXTRA fun seeing you post something sooooo out of your comfort zone. It was a 20 out of 10!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/3#post-905633 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 01:42:24 +0000 Sarah A 905633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have just had the best time looking at everyone's outfits. From the super creative to the super classic... Thanks Ornella for organizing all this fabness :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/2#post-905622 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 01:23:19 +0000 L'Abeille 905622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Somehow I am unable to edit my post from yesterday to add the pictures, so re-posting it here.<br /><br />Might not get to post pic till tomorrow (I'm on call tonight) but here's the text:<br /><br />Short sleeved fit-and-flare LBD. Ballet flats with bare legs (can't stand hose) and outside in the cold/rain, heeled kneehigh boots.<br /><br />For the kitty on her shoulder I am wearing my leopard print cardi with 3/4 sleeves.<br /><br />Hair in a French twist. I don't do bling, but I was going to wear my rhinestone encrusted hair clip--if I could find it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/2#post-905052 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 14:23:46 +0000 Suz 905052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Everyone looks amazing today. Wow.&nbsp;<br /><br />It's funny. I put on my LBD with the pearls and heels and felt a bit "costumey." Even though I could see it didn't look that way. It's just that it is so formal for the life I actually live, even when my dress is so much simpler than Audrey's.&nbsp;<br /><br />Yet looking at the pics, I think -- yup. I could do that. If the occasion called for it, I could do it and feel great.&nbsp;<br /><br />Here's what I would have worn if I were breakfasting with Audrey, complete with my mother in law's pearl watch and my mother's 1960s gold clutch.&nbsp;<br /><br />And then there's what I actually wore. Audrey-esque black skinnies (waving to Rae), a Breton boat neck (waving to Ingunn), a scarf that echoes the colours of the poster's border, and a bracelet and earrings that do the same.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/2#post-904870 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:11:04 +0000 Ornella 904870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb :: you look absolutely wonderful. Your skirt will disappear as soon as you leave it unattended&nbsp;when I come anywhere near your area. And what gorgous&nbsp;top to go with it, this in fact looks like two-piece LBD to me.</p> <p>bella :: I could wear your look every day, beautiful. And, again, you are right - this thread sings the highest praise to LBD. What confuses me is how come we never explored this specific garment on its own.</p> <p>Marley :: I knew we could count on you and your take on the kitties. Adorable, all of you.</p> <p>Natalie :: having fun perhaps? No way I could pick a favourite in this round.</p> <p>celia :: you showcase why simple is sometimes the best. This is wonderful style of dress on you, and like bella you have me drooling over the red trench.</p> <p>Runcarla :: nothing is far fetched, our goal is to be inspired by. I love your take, classic and streamlined, with a dash of spring-y green thrown in and gorgeous shoes.<br /></p> <p>Jjsloane :: *plonk* Spectacular! I think you have this years YLF NY ball outfit covered (you'll organise it, won't you?)<br /></p> <p>Karie :: such original take on the poster, no wonder you got compliments. I also love the term you coined - Audrey-ness.&nbsp;<br /></p> <p>Rae :: I knew it! I was waiting for your cat-inspired WIW. What a great blouse.<br /></p> <p><br /></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/2#post-904782 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 02:39:49 +0000 Sveta 904782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It is too late and I am dead tired this week to comment in details but I cannot miss this!<br />So much imagination and fabness I cannot stand it. 'Plonk" is right!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/2#post-904720 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 01:37:27 +0000 ElleH 904720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm not going to comment individually as I need to make dinner but you all look lovely!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/2#post-904716 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 01:32:51 +0000 JulieJohn 904716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So many great outfits, how to compliment you all!<br /><br />I will just say GoldenPig - you were made for those looks! Dang girl, you are Hepburn personified. And your baby is the most amazing accessory!<br /><br />Ornella, I loved your looks as well, so pretty and so many creative ideas. Plus you have the GLOVES! Sigh. I love your b/w pointy shoes so much too.<br /><br />Una, what a pretty look on you. Glam suits you as well as scuffed boots. You are a woman of many parts.<br /><br />Ingunn, I really liked your "color" interpretation, maybe because that occurred to me too. You do rock the LBD like nobody's business, girl! And those orange pumps are so different but you wear them with true panache.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/2#post-904640 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 00:27:04 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 904640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Deb, I love your dress and hat! (It must not have been so windy today!)<br />Juliejohn, you look so carefree and pretty in that purple sweater, pearls, and sunglasses.<br />Natalie GP, you look fantastic in the dressed up and dressed down Holly Golightly-inspired looks. You have all the pieces--even the cat mask! Impressive.<br />Bella, you look so chic, and you even got to have an evening out in the outfit. How fun is that?<br />Runcarla, I like your take--a two-piece, half-green LBD! You look mahvelous.<br />Jjsloane, that dress, with the pearls and pumps, is so pretty on you. What a perfect day-to-evening look.<br />Karie, you look simply elegant. That skirt does remind me of the poster design!<br />Rae, I'm glad to see you in the cherished cat blouse. It is so pretty; now I see that raw-edge detail on the front placket and the subtle coloring on the cats. Love it!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/2#post-904585 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 23:16:57 +0000 rae 904585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Leave it to me to focus on the cat! Wish I had remembered my red belt though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/2#post-904528 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:46:42 +0000 Karie 904528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Today's outfit was inspired by the white background with stripes of color in the poster. I also color blocked / bookended my black top/ink blue lightweight sweater&nbsp;with black square-toed shoes. My original intent was to wear my black 3/4 sleeve jacket (more Audrey Hepburn-ish), but the jacket is very lightweight and it just wasn't warm enough today. To throw in some Audrey-ness, I added a pearl necklace and earrings. I am also wearing nude micro-fishnet hose.<br /><br />What fun this challenge is! It's getting me to put together items of clothing that I normally wouldn't have. (Pearls with this outfit? No. Would have been a funky green necklace instead.)<br /><br />Not more than 2 seconds after walking in the door at work was when I got my first compliment. Happiness factor - way over 100%! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/2#post-904527 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:46:39 +0000 Jjsloane 904527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So many amazing looks and lots of fun is being had!&nbsp;<br />I went for LBD, although my sheath is a bit tight and it was quite hot today so I went for a fit and flare. I added a khaki BB blazer (for coverage at work and to represent&nbsp;the trench that is not in my closet and would not have been weather appropriate today - oh Burberry why didn't I buy you in NYC??? because I'm too cheap that's why) I added Lifestride black/leopard pumps,an enormous pearl necklace (I am of a certain age so pearls are allowed and rhinestones would have garnered more looks at work than the dress and pearls did) I tried to bump my hair a bit, but was not successful. I added my Fendi black sunnies and Voila. Mommy Golightly. DH felt it was a bit dressy for work, but I didn't care.&nbsp;<br />My cat would not cooperate, but I'm glad to see other named cats represented today.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/2#post-904507 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:32:25 +0000 TraceyLiz65 904507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Loving this and wish we all could go to breakfast!!! <br /><br />&nbsp;At mid 80's I didn't even consider adding my trench coat, but wish now I had as I own tan, black &amp; red! <br /><br />So glad Ornella organized this and so many of us participated to make it so Fabulous!<br />&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ylf-picture-perfect-challenge---spring-2013-day-3/page/2#post-904477 Wed, 10 Apr 2013 22:05:09 +0000 L'Abeille 904477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Might not get to post pic till tomorrow (I'm on call tonight) but here's the text:<br /><br />Short sleeved fit-and-flare LBD.
