A Rare WIW - YouLookFab Forum

Hi all!

I know I'm much more of a stalker (stalking with love of course) than a poster. I've been wearing pants and jeans so much lately that I was super inspired wearing a skirt.

The skirt is quite old as are the boots and belt. The T was from last summer and the cardigan is making its debut today! I've been really bored with jeans, t's and cardigans/sweaters. I don't really think the cardigan matches the skirt very well-the shade in the skirt is more orange/pumpkin, but I liked the overall look so thought I'd take a chance. (Feel free to tell me if I appear color blind/clueless!) I used to wear it very bomb-shell like with a fitted pumpkin sweater and platform pumps, lol!

The sweater is the Leith circle cardigan from Nordstrom-super cozy!

Please excuse the messy background!!!!

FABULOUS, and the proportions are "new". Waist accentuating, but with lots of fluidity. Midis look fresh.

I LOVE the colour palette and your blonder hair, Dana.

I too love the colour palette. What a great belt!

You look great! I love the wide belt.

Great belt. I love the colour palette Dana. Midis do look fresh.

Looks great! And you are nicely coordinated with your bathroom!

Dana

Thanks, all! You know, I rarely wear belts. They're hard to find, although I had killer belts back in the '80's when I didn't pay attention to my proportions.

Thanks for the hair complement, Angie. In truth, I was trying to get my stylist to change my hair. It's a lot darker in the back and you can see the low lights more when I wear it curly.

Oh wow, the sweater color is sooo gorgeous on you. Love the whole outfit. Very classy.

No, it’s brilliant. The sweater’s colour is sumptuous.

It’s a great outfit and so flattering on you. Well done! Tricky colours to work with too so extra credit to you....

The pieces , and colours , work together perfectly ! And I like the de-bombshelling effect of the booties

The belted skirt looks so fresh and the color pallet is gorgeous on you.

Toban

It's beautiful! Love the palette on you.

Jaime

Everything about this is great!

It looks great - love the cardi color on you and with the skirt. Remember Angie’s cranberry pumpkin and Bordeaux ensemble that prompted so many awesome interpretations last fall? This reminds me of that. That pink tone is just another version of burgundy

The length of the cardigan is flattering and interesting on you. I’m so boring with cardigans, so I’m taking note.

Columbine, I'm so short waisted I like the proportion play of long cardigans. I admit though, finding a good length coat is a challenge. Today, I wore a cape that was a loose fit but shorter. It was so sunny that I barely needed it today .

The color of the cardigan is perfect and looks beaufitul with your hair, and the belt is gorgeous!

bella

agreed, this is a gorgeous color scheme for your coloring.

Mainelady

Beautiful colors on you and lovely shape and drape!

kkards

love that there's a hint of retro in this outfit, but, IMO, that the booties make it totally modern and of the times.
and those colors are totally you ....

LaPed

This is awesome. Those colours -- warm, dusty, vintage-desert-inspired -- feel very current to me. And the shapes and layers are nice; love the belting.

i love it too, Dana! The colour combo is a little unexpected and works wonderfully to my eye. I really like the proportions of the longer cardigan with the skirt and the booties and belt make it extra fun.

Thanks so much for sharing!
