WIW :: Some pink for October - YouLookFab Forum

Hello,

It's been a while.

While I do try to stop by every day and keep up with the news, I'm mostly in the lurking mode. I have no idea where the time disappears, one minute it's morning, next one we're having dinner and it's bedtime. And I'm not even working yet...

I have two outfits to share, mostly because I managed to snap them in the first place. These are typical of the current lifestyle and my daily schedule, which is mostly around dropping Master O to kindergarten (I'm cycling, the mornings are getting colder each day -> outfit 1), picking him up (gets much warmer, there can be potential pit stop at the local playground -> outfit 2) and running errands during the day (when the temperature can be anything between the morning and afternoon extremes).

So, it's all about layering, turtlenecks, scarves, hats, jackets, boots.
And the skinnies.

During October I'm keeping in mind Angie's post and I try to wear something pink(ish) whenever I can.

Thanks for stopping by, comments and critiques are welcome as always.

I love the first outfit, hip and attractive. The second one is nice also but doesn't show your figure. I would vote for something that shows your waist more...And by the way, I don't take my own advice at times, although working on it

Both outfits are just KILLER gorgeous. The one is English Countryside Fabness, and the other Dreamy Drapes with Denim.

You are a very stylish MOTG

Thanks for wearing pink this month. I am wearing my blush moto at least three times a week.

Wow Ornella - you look spectacular! Your style has such a European influence to it that I just love.

TraceyLiz65

Love both these looks. All MOTG should look so good! Great nod to Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Angie I am so jealous of your pink moto jacket... I had a blush pink faux leather that just had to go due to my weight loss.

Lisa

I am also trying to wear my pink as much as I can this month. Both outfits look perfect for cycling in cooler weather. I'm also wearing my blazers as my outerwear right now.

Ornella!! I nearly swooned when I saw these two outfits. They are so perfect. The British countryside vibe in outfit one is totally up my alley, and look at you rocking that cap and scarf. Outfit two is casual elegance at its best, love how you've tied that gorgeous scarf here, and you look amazing in that shade of pink.

It's always such a treat to see your outfit photos!

Hi Ornella, how's your life in the new place?
Love your outfits both, and your dedication for wearing pink for a great cause!
Will try to do that, too!:-9

Ornella, you gorgeous creature. I love your posts and admire your dash and panache as a MOTGGG!

Euro chic with pink. Great photos.

Sandy

I love the first outfit on you. The blazer is wonderful and fits you well and those skinnies are perfect!

rachylou

Ultra stylish and BOLD.

p.s. I know! How does the day melt away like that?!

Aida

You are looking very Fab, O! LOVE the first outfit, I don't think it's possible to be any sassier :} Also very fond of the layering in #2, looks so cozy and chic. I miss your fabulous outfits, but glad to hear things are going well.

Sveta

Ornella, it is so nice to see you again <waving!>
Wow, your outfit #1 just blew me away. Fabulous! This scarf and cap just got the styule quotient skyrocket!
Outfit #2 is really amazing too - your MOTG style just moves with leaps and bounds. Brava!

Lynne

Lovely, Ornella! I know what you mean about the day dissappearing....what's with that??

Ornella

Aaah, thanks all for the lovely read with my first coffee this morning. And thanks for the MOTG love, when someone figures out how to stretch a day, please let me know

@centerseattle, I think we're all guilty of not listening our own advice sometimes
As for waist, yes, in less casual outfits that is something I bear in mind. For daily MOTG formulas it's all about comfort and practicality.

@Angie, I never thought I'd love more than one denim item in an outfit. Bring YLF in and things change in a girl's head... a lot.

@Shannon, Euro girl living again in the heart of Europe, bound to result with some Euro influences I guess

@TraceyLiz, thanks.

@Lisa, nice to know we both think pink.

@Inge, thank you. The cap is an old purchase from H&M, from years before YLF, I just loved it although I had no idea *how* to wear it (I felt it wore me, instead of the other way round), but knew it would work for me some day. The scarf is a leaving gift from my friends at my last job in England.

@Lyn67, thanks. I think we can finally say we're settled in, the daily schedule had finally become predictable. *Only* language left to learn and master.
So far one of my favorite parts is - the climate. I love continental autumns! And after surviving Hungarian winters all those years ago, I think I'm ready to see what the Germans have to offer

@Una, did anyone crown you Queen of Acronyms and Empress Compliments yet?

@caro, Sandy, thakns.

@rachylou, I love that - bold I have a small playset (aka, very limited selection of wardrobe due to small space, so have to play with creating something fun from simple outfits - and bold is what I do aim for to up things a bit).

@Aida, thank you and big wave! I'm still recovering from your gorgeous Shoptoberfest outfit, btw. I miss posting more, tbh, but literally have no time for snapping the photos of when I do the light plays up a bit at the spot I used before. I think I have the solution now, we'll see if I can post more, I do miss the fun

@Sveta, thank you. While I do work on my MOTG formulas as those are the only ones I need at the moment, it is very much through your fab posts and unmistakeable outfits that I live vicariously and gather inspiration for when I go back to professional environment.

@Lynne, thank you. The pleasure is all mine, it is *lovely* to see you

Deborah

My goodness these outfits are brilliant! You are one incredibly stylish MOTG. I love both these outfits. And you wear a cap beautifully.

Jjsloane

You look gorgeous as always. I love the hat in #1 and you are a lovely column of denim with a perfectly popped collar in 2. Nice to see you - I realized I have very little pink so did a challenge to myself this week.

Thankd Deborah and Jeanne.

Kiwichik

Great outfits - love your cap.
