Aida you have such great style, perfect proportions and fit, and most importantly outfits that really speak to your style. Love the 70's inspired looks in particular. My major interior design inspiration is 1970s luxe, and that is the focus as I work on completing the furnishings in my interior. You would fit into the vignettes just perfectly!

WOWZERS!! These are all super fab!!

*waving at my sized-up-for-slouchiness sweater twin*

I love them all but I have to say my fave is #7! That color! Those stripes! The fur!! LOVE!!!

What style you have!
These were worth the wait.

What a treat, an Aida post. First, I am very happy that the fur vest has found its rightful owner and that Rita so graciously send this out to you. I have concluded furry vests and I do not get along. As a matter of fact, the Express one I bought around the same time as Rita, is on the 'bay" right now, along with the B44 dress. Heresy there on the B44.

Wow, I don't even have a favorite, because I like all of them. I think these are interesting and playful, but still really urban and really you!!!'

I hope this means you are back to regular schedule. I missed your WIWs.

There is too much for me in this post to absorb at once, but I will say I *love* 5, 6 and 11. So great!

Wow, pure fashion eye candy! Just love all of them, and can't pick a favorite, but have special respect for the one with the black print blouse over jeans (#4), as whenever I try something like that it looks wrong. Will come back and examine later - thanks Aida!

Wow ladies, thank you all so much for the thoughtful comments! I really appreciate the detail and hearing which ones (and why!) you're especially drawn to. #4 really stuck a chord with everyone, which is great because that had a super high happiness factor for me!

Tara, yes my style has definitely evolved quite a lot since coming to YLF! I feel like the underlying elements and overarching styles are still the same, just much more refined (and a bit less eclectic) now. The boot are Madden Girl "Sheldun" from a couple years ago. I did a quick search and didn't see any currently for sale on the bigger shoe sites, but if you hunted a bit more you might be able to find a pair.

Manidipa, ooooh great observation on the textures in #1 and #5, that is not an association I'd made before! I am certainly drawn to those rustic-type prints/textures and to a lesser extent the dressing style (for weekends though), but certainly feel much more me when wearing those elements in a sleeker, urban way. Skinny jeans are the prime mainstream pant here, too, especially since it's just so PRACTICAL to have them tucked into boots with all the rain we get. I pounce on any "dry enough" day to pull out my floor-skimming hems! I very rarely see super wide hems like those in #9, at least in jeans; they do pop up in trousers on drier days.

Karie, since my hair is very dark I can get away with having a single black element in my outfits. Since your hair is lighter, sometimes it will require a little extra bit of black to balance out depending on where/how much there is. I have to the same thing with light shoes or a lighter lower half (which generally work more easily with light hair), especially if I want to wear a dark top; I often will solve that by showing some skin on my arms

Angie, aw thank youuu! Queen 70s checking in I like Urban 70s Glam Queen, that about sums me up (I'm finally working on getting more of the glam and rocker influences in my style this year now that I have my core wardrobe mostly in place!). I do find it amusing that now matter how sleek or non-70s I've tried to make myself look, or even in just a single outfit... I always seems to have that 70s flair! It is truly part of my style soul And BIG YES on the early 70s punk! I LOVE that part of punk style, has all the attitude of punk with a good dose of the natural look of the 70s. In fact that was exactly what I told with my hair stylist when I got the short 'do initially: "I want a late 70s early-punk vibe." Clearly that discussion paid off! And no worries, I have no desire to grow it out any time soon, although with helmet season coming up I am getting nervous about what I can do to combat helmet hair without my ponytail ><

Zap, too bad about the furry vests but at least you've figured it out now! I tend to wear mine more in spring/summer/fall than in winter, and have lots of fun ideas for the upcoming season for my pretty from-Zap longer vest <3 I am mostly back to regular schedule, just less time for the forum than before. So once I get these backlogged outfits up I'll be back to my usual weekly WIW posts

Wow, you are looking especially wonderful! 1, 2, and 5 are my favorites.

Thank you, Scarlet!

All awesome outfits! I always love looking at your outfit posts. I think my favourites are #2 and #9. I just love all the soft colors in #2 and the widelegs are such a great change from all the skinny jeans looks I'm seeing IRL at the moment, just awesome! I think I also want a pair.

I am SO SO glad you spammed us. I cant choose a favorite, but will come back to study the finer elements which create the whole i am sure! Glad you are back and sharing your WIWs.
