June 3x10 week 1 - YouLookFab Forum

First week of the challenge!

Today - Saturday - wearing the tartan shirt casually - with Docs, denim skirt and red leather jacket (circa 2002).

Friday - Red dress, worn with denim jacket, scarf, and long suede boots. I don't think this dress is a 'winter piece' and would be better suited to warmer weather - but will persevere with the challenge.

Thursday evening - out for dinner, wore the pink velvet suit - with challenge scarf and a pale pink sweater. Loved wearing this and it was nice to have the scarf because at the restaurant, I took off my jacket.

Thursday day - wore cardigan with sleeveless top, jeans and sneaker boots for an Apre Ski look. I added my faux fur bag which I like to use in the winter months.

Wednesday - wanted to wear my tartan shirt in a dressy way and the snakeskin boots - wore it layered under a black sheath dress with 3/4 sleeves. I would not have thought to wear it this way, but really liked the effect. Added a brooch for a bit of bling.

Tuesday - the challenge skirt - DH complimented me on this one, and I enjoyed wearing it.

Your outfits are full of joy - so pretty, bright and with a hint of smile !
I like everything - love #4 and #5 but all are fab!

rachylou

Now this is the way to do winter boots. Inspiration!

Sally

Love it all but my absolute favourites would be the pink suit and the tartan shirt under the black sheath dress. Great style!

Brooklyn

Love it all! Love the velvet suit and the warm fuzzy texture of no 4. But No 1 is my absolute fave.

Joy

These is so much to learn from these outfits! You are off to a great start.

Bijou

Slim Cat, thank you, I want my clothes to not look too serious.

Rachy, boots are my favourite footwear. I have been wearing orthotics since I was 18 and they work best in boots.

Sally, those are fun and the most dressy outfits.

Brooklyn, I like the fun of my Hello Kitty docs, but appreciate that it is not for everyone.

Joy, I have enjoyed the challenge as it has made me think more broadly on how to wear different items.

Liesbeth

All of the outfits are a treat to look at!

Stagiaire Fash

Wow, you’re off to a great start—look at that stat line, and look at these outfits!

You got the pink suit to look great—well done!
I’m impressed that the shirt doesn’t show up in wrinkly bunches under the fitted dress, but it doesn’t add any details except the ones it’s supposed to—really nice idea to use it to wear it to add some color to the dress.
The stompy boots & mini are playing my song—love it!

Star

Such good outfits. 2 and 5 are my favourites.

Liesbeth - high praise indeed. I am not sure I usually repeat my statement items as often as 3 times per month, so I am interested to see if my enthusiasm will wane over the course of the month. I will be taking days off from the challenge, so that will help maintain momentum.

Fashintern - I hate being constrained by rules and loved this skirt as soon as I saw it.

Star - glad you like the dress in #2 because that was one item I thought would be more of a challenge for me. The shirt and dress combination worked out better than expected and a good reason to experiment sometimes.

Tanya

Wow, each and every outfit is wonderful, but I have to choose favorites, it would be #1, 4 and 5. The pink suit is super flattering on you.

Staysfit

Much love for all of these joyful outfits, but the pink suit and the tartan mini are my faves!

How fun! I love how you incorporate glam into your outfits but they always have an element of playfulness.

I really like the tartan shirt under the dress! Very creative! Adore the faux fur purse!

Helena

You look so great! Can't pick a favourite!

Tanya, it was fun to wear the suit as there is something very nice about wearing a deliberately matched jacket and pants.

Staysfit, you have picked the most fun outfits.

Janet, I always feel my best when there is balance between the glam and playful elements in my style.

Nikki, I really like the bag too, it is a nice piece to bring out each winter.

Helena, well you don’t have to pick a favourite!

cat2

Love Wednesday, really creative!

These photos made me happy, such fun clever stylish outfits!!

JAileen

Such great outfits!!! The pink velvet suit is awesome, but #1 and #5 need a Westie...

catherine

Your enjoyment of clothes is so apparent. These are all so creative and interesting. I think #1 is my favorite.

smittie

! Your style just gets better and better.
I like the pink suit the best followed by the svelte black outfit.
So fun, polished, outgoing, and eye catching.

Irina

You style is so much fun! Colorful, elegant and romantic. All outfits are gorgeous, my favorites are #4 & 5. And now I want a faux fur bag for winter, too!

I hope you didn’t think I was criticizing the mini skirt! I wear them too

Mirjana

Wow, so beautiful outfits, I can't pick favorite. You look amazing sweet Bijou.

Jonesy

What a dazzling group of outfits! I love your embrace of print and color! I love everything--so much fun with fashion.

Angie

Fashion Stylist

KILLER to the Power of KILLER x6.

As Jonesy said, soooooo much fun with fashion! And right down to the laces......

I see a Harajuku influence with lots of Glam Bijou powerfully pretty

Jaime

Is it creepy to compare looking at your outfits to going into a French bakery? Perhaps. Nonetheless, a visual feast! And such beautiful variety from Harajuku to glam and back again! Oops, that is what Angie just wrote above. But she's right!

Cat2, the Wednesday outfit was created only because of the challenge, but is one I will repeat as I like the black dress very much and wearing it this way makes it warmer and also adds some colour.

VintageDawn, thank you, what a lovely compliment.

JAileen, luckily I have a perfect little Westie to accessorise my tartan outfits.

Catherine, thank you. Glad that #1 is not seen as too contrived. I really like wearing my doc marten boots.

Smittie, it is always good to have a little black dress in the wardrobe. I find this one very versatile.

Irina, as your winters are much longer than mine, a seasonal winter bag makes lots of sense.

Fashintern, I know.... I just said that because I don’t think you should stop wearing your mini skirts either! Age is irrelevant really, it is all about how you put things together as to whether they read too young or not.

Mirjana, high praise indeed!

Jonesy, I have found this challenge fun.

Angie, I am very influenced by Japanese street style and could people and fashion watch in Harajuku all day. Thank you for the K2K, you made my day. Now off to plan today’s outfit!

Shevia, No way! I love French bakeries, almond croissants are my weakness.

Minaminu

Bijou, that suit is amazing! great fit and fab orchid pink!!!
