I'm at my niece's bat mitzvah, wearing the full on Janelle Monae. I'm wearing head to toe Angie recommendations, from the juicy tux, j crew tux blouse (boys size though), to the bcbg animal bag. And hubby's bow tie :) Is it good or too masculine/too costumey? I am planning to wear this outfit to two more events this summer. Your help and honest feedback are truly appreciated so I can look my best at them!!

...at an 80's theme "prom" Duran Duran here I come

I wanted this Tom Ford copy cat dress....

Thought I would wear it to my Russian restaurant parties.

I tried it on last night and I simply do not like it anymore. Ugh!

After two years on YLF, I am still making shopping mistakes! I am so mad at myself. I could have bought a dress that I would actually wear for the money I spent on this thing!!

Thanks Zap for showing us your dotty sweater. Of course it had to be mine!! This is not a k/r. I am already at work enjoying it.

Question for you all! Should the top underneath be buttoned or unbuttoned?

Y: buttoned

N: unbuttoned

All comments and suggestions welcomed!!

I am in love with Kate Moss' animal print coat. Of course I'll probably look like a shaggy sofa throw in it, while she looks stunning but I still want to try it.

Is animal print still in?

I am really digging this elbow patch wool sweater:

Is it too masculine? Should I look for a more feminine version?

YAY/NAY: Would you ever think about buying a man's sweater for yourself?

We come back to this question every few months here on YLF . I'm wondering where everyone is at right now.

I have too many _______, and not enough ________

I'll start

I have too many ___BOOTS___, and not enough ___BOOTS____.

It's a capsule that I can never seem to fill. I wear boots 9 months out of the year. Every time I think I have enough boots for the boot apocalypse, I find another hole in my boot wardrobe.

Last week I posted an Express furry vest. Thanks to your feedback it is now happily part of my wardrobe. I guess the discussion inspired Zap because she got one too! Coincidentally we are both wearing them today. I love having a YLF twinnie!

I remember we had a discussion about male partner's reactions to faux fur. True to most others' experiences, hubby hated the vest. But kids loved it! "Mommy is so soft!"

I'm late to the party but I couldn't resist posting this outfit from Saturday night's Citizen Cope concert. It's so 2012 for me because I am pattern mixing dots with animal print, using a clutch, and even though you can't see them I am wearing booties with a dress. Sounds like our party would be a blast. I hope i get to meet all of you in person one day soon!!

I love this bag but hate that it is plastic. Anyone seen anything like it in leather? Any help or leads appreciated!
