I love how you look terribly British with the plaid coat and straw hat. Of the 3 outfits, the middle one in my opinon is the strongest. The proportions are just right. It looks basic but has wonderful little details to keep me looking. The lines are clean and strong and the eyes are easily led up to that beautiful face.the Citizen Rosebudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321719043114075007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-75560426002040412382010-12-08T08:10:27.818-08:002010-12-08T08:10:27.818-08:00Goodness Gracious! i got to sewing last nite, and ...Goodness Gracious! i got to sewing last nite, and went to bed without replying to any comments - it's nice to see your thoughtful words this am! <br /><br />Hi Cynthia! yeah, one thing i liked about these guys is that they emphasize defining your own 'cake' pieces as well as finding your own ratio. Angie at you look fab has a very similar approach - 'here's my wardrobe essentials, here's some other possibilities, now go and find out your own'. it does sound as if you're craving cake!<br /><br />and that sounds like a really great idea to post 'daily impressions'. it'll be esp. valuable during no repeats, i think!<br /><br />Hi Paula! yeah, that 80/20 # is what i remember. but then i think, 'that CANT be right!' but it was just a rec. (i'm going to have to tell my dad ~ yer use of the term 'farty' - he always calls himself the old fart.)<br /><br />if Terri thinks 80/20 is restrictive, none of the rest of us have a hope of meeting that ratio! ; ) dark green with your jacket sounds really nice and wintery....<br /><br />Hi Sheila! thank you! yes, there're all these ideas out there and some of them are just useful for helping to 'pick apart' different styles and looks. (i wish i could find out who these guys are!) and yes, one girl's cake is another's frosting...<br /><br />i'd never heard of the triplets of belleville - i really want to check it out now! and with the jacket on it DOES really look like the 'flappers' - how fun! and i'm really glad i whipped up that skirt and made a pattern. it gives a nice lean line but at the same time it's really comfortable to move in. another dark-color cotton would be great, and one in a medium olive drab or sim.....you can do a lot with pockets, buttons, slits, seaming to change it up, too. SCORE!!!

However, 20/80 is nowhere near my ratio either, hee hee. I'd say I'm about 50/50 - I do like my frosting! I am all for awareness of one's tendencies, though, and I think this would be a useful tool for exploring other styles and expanding one's own. <br /><br />I agree, boots are cake, but shiny red boots are frosting! :) Depends on the boot, right? I wouldn't equate items, necessarily. Not all black pencil skirts are built alike. <br /><br />I really love this look - with the jacket on, it's got a wonderful flapper-esque vibe (have you seen "The Triplets of Belleville"? the exagerrates silhouette reminds me of them). With the jacket off, you look so fabulously tall and slim - and my eye just travels up and down, taking in all the lovely details. Lovely, Steph!

I really like the lines of this look, especially once you remove the jacket. I've been thinking about my similar jacket and have been thinking of breaking up the brown with a dark green sweater.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-71144642683010632712010-12-07T15:44:09.075-08:002010-12-07T15:44:09.075-08:00I couldnt do 80/20--that would not give me MY STYL...I couldnt do 80/20--that would not give me MY STYLE!

I'm not sure, I think for me boots might be cake, but I also think I'm going to find out when I do "No Repeats" that I have way too much frosting in my wardrobe in general. Lately I've been craving things like a smooth brown wool or denim skirt.<br /><br />Also, this week I've started indicating in my posts how I feel about various outfits (feels like "me", feels like a costume, etc), for that idea of yours! I think it will be better to post my reaction to the outfit on the day I'm actually wearing it rather than trying to think back.Cynthiahttp://www.befabulousdaily.usnoreply@blogger.com
