After a long time....

Hello ladies,

I haven't been active on the forum for a long time due to the final level courses of CA but have been visiting off and on. I just wanted to share some outfits with you all that I have been wearing. I have made a few purchases lately. Most important of these are windown pane pants from BR and the cable knit sweater from GAP. I have really enjoyed these new items in my wardrobe as I was extremely busy with studies and did not have time to look after my wardrobe.
Suggestions for improvement are more than welcome!

Welcome back! It's great to see you and your outfits. These are fantastic--thanks for sharing them with us.
I love the windowpane pants; you've styled them beautifully. The red sweater and boots are stunning with them, and so are the black blazer and yellow scarf. I really like your neutrals in 2, as well--the look is so textured and rich, and those shoes (or booties?) are fantastic with the outfit. The citron outfit is another standout--what a fun color, and it looks great on you. I have to say, you do look fab in cream, though. 1, 4, 6, and 7 are all gorgeous. Wish I could offer suggestions, but I wouldn't know how to improve on these looks.

Great to see you again! I particularly like 2, 3, 4 and 5. You have a lot of great items that mix and match well.

I looked at your pix before I even read your intro, and I said to myself, "She is a BR junkie, like me!" All your outfits look great. I'm jealous of your ability to layer so well--right now I can only do an underlayer and a topper (e.g., cami and cardigan) without it looking crazy. I think it is quite a skill.

How great to see you again Mona and WOW are you looking fab! Those windowpane pants are amazing on you and I love the stylings you've put together with them. Also really like you in the quilted bomber outfit. But honestly everything looks great.

Wow, so great to see you, Mona! When you are done the exam, you and I can get together for a real time confab, I hope? It would be great to see you in person.

Although if you are looking as fab as in these these photos, I might have to wear sunglasses. Wow! I absolutely love the windowpane pants on you. You are joining the august company of Mary K and Vicki (to name two) who are wearing those, and they're a terrific addition to your wardrobe. Are they full length on you? If so, double bonus. I love both outfits you have made with them.

I also adore #2 -- that is k-worthy!! So glad you got the Danier. And you're wearing the Mural jacket so well.

Good luck on the final weeks of the course and let me know how things go!

Each of these outfits has a lot of positive energy that leaps off the screen. I like the windowpane pants- especially with the red and the citron is stunning on you.

Great to see you again, Mona. I have missed you.

You're looking as fab as ever, but special shout outs to #8, #5, #4 and #3. Those are killer. I'm going with #8 as my absolute best. xo

Hi Mona <waving>, nice to see you again!
These are all awesome outfits but like Angie I am in complete awe of #8: those BR pants are a great addition!
Good luck with the exams!

Thank you, Firecracker! I am really glad that you liked the windowpane pants and the citron top is same as Angie's from Club Monaco.
Thank you for the boost, MuseumGal,Jjsloane, donnat, pil, caro, Eliza, Karie, Day Vies and Shevia.
Gigi, I always layer because I am always cold and trust me I am still learning how to.
Thank you, Shannon! I ordered these window pane pants reluctantly but as soon as I put them on, I fell in love.
Thanks Suz! The Danier Leather jacket has become a workhorse in my winter wardrobe. It is so comfy and luxurious to wear. I always think about you when I wear it and off course Sveta. Without her reminder, I would have missed it on sale. A confab sounds great. We will plan something soon. I don't finish these courses until spring but can definitely arrange to see you before that. The pants are full length on me.
Thank you, Angie. I am so glad that you like the window pane pants. I sized up on these (influenced by you) and so glad I did. They are as comfortable as pj's and so much fun to wear.
Thank you, Sveta! I was very skeptical to order these pants as they are sloan fit and I was under the impression that this fit does not work for pears but they fit like a dream. I sized up one size so may be that is why.

Hi! Welcome back!

Welcome back! I hope the final stretch of your course/exams go well.

So glad to see the windowpane pants styled in a couple of different ways... I also fell victim to these, but haven't worn them yet. I think mine are shorter on me than they are on you, so not sure about wearing them with booties, but I'm very happy they look good with tall black boots - that I can do!

Great set of outfits!!

These are all great outfits! I love the necklace in #1 and the scarf in #2. You've done a great job of styling the windowpane pants in both outfits. I also love the yellow-tipped blazer in #5

Mona, these are beautiful outfits! You are a very stylish student. I like them all but especially like the proportions of 8.

You look beautiful in all of these! I especially adore 4,5, and 8. Those windowpane pants are fantastic and you are stunning in citron!

I wondered where you had gone to. I love #3 but all of these outfits are wonderful.

Wow! You look amazing!

And I just want to thank you for showing your windowpane pants tucked into your boots. I was in a real quandary about what to wear to a Christmas party tonight and you have solved my problem! Huzzah!!

Oh my goodness Mona, you are looking fabulous in each and every one of these outfits.
Those window pane pants are stunning and the little grey jacket with citron trim is adorable.
You must be delighted to have such a range of FFBO's at this busy time.

I agree with everyone else. All the outfits look great and you have syle dthem so well.

Oh, I am so glad that these pants have the YLF approval. I really enjoy wearing them.
MaryK and Elizabeth P! I can't wait to see you in these with tall boots.

Great looks here, but the window pane pants are my favorite of the bunch. I would not have thought to tuck them into taller boots, so clever!

Good to see you, Mona. You're looking so marvelous in all of these. I particularly love the Danier and the windowpane trousers. Would the trousers work with the citron/grey top half in #5?
