What brand are they if you don't mind me asking?</p> <p>Nice to meetcha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-720743 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 23:21:47 +0000 morethanbeige 720743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit #1!

I'm lucky my "first attempt" has met with really positive responses but even if it hadn't I wouldn't have felt (too) bad because I can see there is so much to learn from these clever &amp; stylish women. Can't wait to "see" you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-720705 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 22:56:51 +0000 BethL 720705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more vote for #1! Though outfit #2 is just fine, your first communicates everything you said you wanted it to. You look just gorgeous! Enjoy the party. (I haven't posted any pics yet; seeing yours makes me feel a little braver.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-720698 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 22:52:24 +0000 cciele 720698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 1 with the strappy shoe. That tunic is wonderful and I love the color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-720696 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 22:51:11 +0000 Angie 720696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for outfit #1! (I vote slipper flats). </p> <p>I wouldn't change a thing and you are going to blow them away at the party :)</p> <p>Love your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-720690 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 22:48:03 +0000 JR 720690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, Caro, I have a bone to pick with you.</p> <p>Why on earth has it taken you so long to post pictures? Here you could have been inspiring me all this time! I feel cheated.</p> <p>Seriously, I love your outfits here, both of them. #1 definitely nails the look you were looking for here though, although you could up the artsy-fartsy element of the second with the right accessories, like say, a pendant necklace with a feather in it, or something fabulously quirky without being weird, if you get my drift. And I am going to be one of the dissenters, favouring the smoking slipper over the strappy shoe, despite the fact I'm not normally a fan of smoking slippers. With this outfit, it just clicks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-720673 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 22:33:48 +0000 Caro in Oz 720673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much rute - the shoe question has people divided, maybe I should wear one of each or is that too arty? lol.<br /> Thanks cjh - it's hard to smile when you are looking at yourself in the mirror &amp; trying not to move the camera!<br /> Makrame - thanks so much for the validation.<br /> Thanks Suz. The pants are my first foray into this style since the 80s, oh dear. They are French Connection &amp; currently on sale here in Australia (where it is spring).<br /> Shevia &amp; Ruth thank you it's wonderful to get your feedback.<br /> Transcona Shannon - Thanks so much - it's so good to be here, you couldn't keep me away.<br /> qpswan, Ah yes the comfort factor I didn't think about that. They are both comfy (too old to do anything else I'm afraid) but you have a point the strappy ones have more support.<br /> shiny - thank you! The tunic is a knit (linen &amp; viscose blend) it's from England a brand called Almondine. I'm not usually a knit person. I can't wear wool &amp; they can make my top half look bigger but I found a couple that hug the side bust/underarm area &amp; I like them both on me.<br /> Thanks again everyone - I'm blown away by your encouragement. You are a wonderful group &amp; I'm so lucky to have found you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-720042 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 13:54:25 +0000 shiny 720042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You nailed "relaxed, arty and approachable." Love both outfits. Agree that #1 has slight edge because the color is just so gorgeous. Please tell us about your tunic... where did you find that? It is amazing. Also I have to say I was going to "just say no" the the slouchy tapered trouser trend, but seeing them on you..... I am now wavering... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-720040 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 13:52:02 +0000 qpswan 720040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find the first outfit much more flattering as well as artsy. The plum colour is beautiful on you!</p> <p>Both shoes are perfect - which one is more comfie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-720038 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 13:49:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 720038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well hello there Caro! First off, absolutely LOVE your hair! You look beautiful. As for the outfit, I'm crazy about #1 - that arty, drapey top in that delicious colour is fabulous on you. Like Denise (Cocolion) I prefer the shoe on the left foot. Looking forward to seeing more of you on the forum! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-720019 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 13:27:11 +0000 Anonymous 720019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late chiming in here, but outift #1 is ultra chic IMO, and I love the shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-720013 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 13:22:51 +0000 Jaime 720013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both outfits are fabulous. I could see either shoe with the first one, but might actually go with the loafer. I prefer the darker shoe with the second outfit. You have great style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-719988 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 12:36:44 +0000 Suz 719988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro! So wonderful to SEE you. You are gorgeous and your outfits are exactly what you hope - relaxed, approachable, arty. I love them both, but I'm especially smitten with #1 for the colour, which is lovely on you. I agree with Denise's suggestions about the footwear. </p> <p>Can't wait to see more of your style. </p> <p>I really like the soft slouchy trousers. I would love to find myself a pair of those this fall/winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-719972 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 12:01:02 +0000 Makrame 719972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #1 with the "strappy" burgundy shoe. I think your look in #1 satisfies "approachable", "arty", and "fun" requirements, and the color looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-719951 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 11:29:33 +0000 cjh 719951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, and great smile. You look very cool and confident. I prefer the left shoe in each photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-719926 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:26:23 +0000 rute 719926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are gorgeous! I prefer the loafers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-719920 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 09:54:54 +0000 Caro in Oz 719920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Astrid - I do love the colour!</p> <p>Hi Deb, thanks for your very kind thoughts. Yes these are my first pics - deep breath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-719905 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 09:20:21 +0000 Deborah 719905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro this is the first pics I have seen from you. What a gorgeous woman you are... Both inside and out:)</p> <p>I love #1! No question this outfit communicates what you hoped for. The red shoes look best. You look very "cool" arty and exude warmth. Dress/tunic over pants is one of my favorite looks.</p> <p>The second outfit it really nice also but sees arty/business-y to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-719902 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 09:10:11 +0000 Astrid 719902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Denise, #1 and the left shoe! You look fab in this color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-719898 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:54:34 +0000 Caro in Oz 719898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Anne, looks like #1 is it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-719896 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:41:25 +0000 anne 719896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No 1 I think. Definitely arty and cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-719894 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:39:07 +0000 Caro in Oz 719894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much Cocolion - I'm leaning towards #1 &amp; agree with you about the shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-719886 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 08:08:56 +0000 CocoLion 719886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit 1 is so cool!! And definitely with the arty vibe. I like the shoe on your left foot with this outfit, which seems more arty/avant.</p> <p>#2 is more relaxed and approachable. I prefer the shoe on your left foot here because it bookends the jacket and suits the structured nature of pants and a blazer.</p> <p>Both outfits are superb. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/your-thoughts-please#post-719880 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 07:51:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 719880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd really like your honest feedback on these outfits &amp; which of the boots/shoes you prefer. It's for a casual party &amp; I won't know many people. I'd like to project a relaxed, approachable arty vibe (if such a thing is possible). Sorry about the quality of the photos - I'm working on it...... </p>
