  Aida, fantastic as usual! I love the grey and brown combo in the first, it's my fave! Number 2 doesn't look too brown to me, but I AM a brown gal...and there is nothing meh about number 3 - fantastic. Interesting that you prefer the warmer lip gloss - give it a try, I say. Glosses are such a different colour on than they look in the tube. Can you tell us about your year of no repeats? Have been wondering how that works...

  #1 is a really great look. I also love how you layout your photos :)

  I agree about outfit 1--it's my fave of everything you have posted! It just looks perfect! 2 is very '70s-influenced, to my eye. You wear that vest well. 3 looks cute and comfy.

  I love #3 the best -- love the green skinnies (I have a similar pair and would wear them every day if I could) and LOVE LOVE LOVE that fab coat! And the boots. The whole thing is just perfection! And 1 and 2 are fantastic, too! Well done!!

  1 is my fave, too, Aida. You look stylish and effortlessly cool! I know what you mean on the boots. Since I joined YLF, I have spent more on boots than I want to think about, but I wear them lots. They make me feel good! What am I gonna do when spring/summer comes and they have to sit on the shelf? :)

  Collage #1 - KILLER. Love you in that look, Aida. It brings out your inner punk. Fab!

  Thanks ladies, glad to hear everyone's feeling what I'm feeling with these looks!

  Lynne - I don't wear gloss often (too sticky and I don't really want my lips looking bigger than they already are), but I do have a lovely orange from MAC which I like; the gal who did my makeup for my wedding used orangey lip stuff on me and it was such an ah-ha! I've just been reluctant to admit that icy pinks don't work hehe. I commented on the no-repeats year in the "how do you start putting an outfit together" thread, but I can write something more detailed up if you'd like, it's certainly been quite a project :)

  Teri - Thanks! I need to get around to writing that collage post...

  Jonesy - Glad you see the 70s influence there, that's what I was going for but I wasn't too sure how close it was. The cropped vest length is tricky!

  Mary - I had trouble getting behind the skinny cargos because I didn't like the idea of adding the extra width of pockets to my thighs. But I still like the overall look, so I bought these olive skinnies on super clearance and love them way more than I'd expected! I saw yours, they look great! Mine are super skinny with teeny ankle openings so I don't wear them as often as I would if they were normal skinnies.

  Bookarella - I hate having to shelf footwear too! I wear my shorter boots all year, as long as the temps are below 70, though to be fair we can expect rain 10 months of the year :)

  Angie - Thanks so much, I certainly felt like my punk-Aida self today, it was awesome! Now to try and channel this in more of my looks...

  Great outfits, Aida! I love your signature stripes. The first outfit is a knock out--the cropped jacket and fab boots. You look killer. I thought #2 looked 70's influenced as well--probably a combination of the belt, boots and vest. Nice pattern mixing too! Super cute! Nice and simple outfit in #3--amazing how much your hairstyle changes the overall look. Wish I could see the pendant. It looks like a robot.

• Lisa replied 13 years ago

  #3 is my fave of the bunch but all three are quite nice. I don't think you have too much brown in #2. And you tuck quite nicely. :)

  Great photo's!! I love to see your posts!

• Beth replied 13 years ago

  Love, love #1. The stripes, the jacket, the boots...it's a fab look:)

• Aida replied 13 years ago

  Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm happy to hear the brown wasn't overkill, I was a bit worried about it but not enough to change hehe

  Kelly - I'm amazed at how much my hair changes looks too! And yes, the pendant is a cute little robot with hinged limbs and a heart on his chest :)

  I am another one loving the first outfit! You are really stylin' while keeping your own vibe. I love that.

• Aida replied 13 years ago

  Thanks Una, I'm feeling like I'm getting a LOT closer to what I want my style to be in the few months I've been on YLF compared to the 1.5 years I was going it alone.

• tarzy replied 13 years ago

  You look so cool in skinnies tucked into boots. I love how you're finding your style groove - you look so happy and confident.

• Aida replied 13 years ago

  Thanks Tarzy! Considering how much I love the look, I am constantly surprised that I didn't get my first pair of skinnies until this past fall! Fashion risks are certainly worth taking :)
