WIW - inspired by Denise

When I saw Denise's wonderful last WIW post (http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....oho-clutch) I decided to wear my loose blouse with two long necklaces today. I haven't worn the top that much since I've bought it and I want to change that! I guess that it's not the most flattering look on me, but I love the floaty feel when I'm wearing it. And I got a chance to wear my gold pendant necklace, that I think looks great with the blue. I even changed my usual silver studs to tiny gold ones to coordinate with the necklace, even if you can't see it.

I really like this on you. Especially the necklaces. This slightly bo-ho look really goes with your long curly hair somehow.

Thanks Scarlet! Somehow I haven't worn many accessories the last few weeks and when I do I prefer to wear my less fake looking or real jewelry like the necklaces above. It's true that my hair always adds a bit boho - when I wear a slightly boho look it looks like it's deliberate and that always looks best.

Absolutely love those necklaces against blue. The layering is so fresh in long necklaces so glad to see you took the inspiration and made it your own.

Very pretty Astrid!

Thanks Christieanne! One thing I learned from YLF is that you can get your inspiration everywhere. And I always love seeing how different people make an idea their own!

Thanks Shannon!

Well, Astrid, I wore your traditional silhouette last week and loved it, why shouldn't you try Denise's? I think you look casual and fab here. It's OK to surrender the waist occasionally, and it makes sense when you have such a comfortable easy look! I love the jewelry, as well. I have a "vintage" (as in 10 year old birthday present) locket that I love to wear, too!

It looks great Astrid! The blue blouse is very pretty on you and the necklaces really set it off!

Denise provides wonderful inspiration. I think this looks wonderful on you. The blue is a gorgeous color against your hair color.

This totally works on you! And I am so flattered to have inspired you Astrid.

Now may I please have some of your hair? I really need it and it looks like you have enough already.

LOL @ CocoLion!

I love these low contrast dusky blues on you Astrid. Love the necklaces and the whole boho vibe like the others do, too!

Pretty & casual - I like it.

You nailed it too. Beautiful and looks effortless and relaxed but pulled together.

I have marked this for future reference. Simple yet nicely put together, right up my alley. You look beautiful. I love your necklaces.

The blue looks beautiful on you and I love the gold pendant with it.

Thanks Beth Ann! You're right, I guess this corresponds nicely with Angie's recent post about body type dressing rules (http://youlookfab.com/2012/05/.....ing-rules/). The locket was a present from my grandma, I liked it when I saw it in her jewelry box and she didn't wear it anymore, so she gave it to me. I'm not sure how old it is exactly.

Thanks Meredith! The necklaces really make all the difference.

Thanks Deborah! I generally like myself in those cool, soft and dusky colors.

Thanks Denise! And LOL for the hair comment. All I can say is that my hair looks much thicker than it is in pictures...

Thanks Claire, Kiwichik and Jjsloane!

Thanks Zapotee! I'm glad I could provide inspiration.

Thanks Shevia!

I quite love the two necklaces together, and my eye was also caught by those awesome shoes- just my color and great book ending with you hair!

Tanya

Lovely outfit! Love how the necklaces pick up the color of the shoes.

Thanks Kari! I made a mental note to wear these two together again, I really liked the way it looked! The shoes are fairly new and I love them. I bought them with book ending in mind and they really look great with everything.

Thanks Tanya! I didn't even realise that, but you're right. One more reason why this works...
