Who's got the August Lucky

Sunshinegirl · Kate Spade

I love this look and wear it often. I have several pair of widge leg trousers including a poleci pair that looks like the pair in the mag.

For work, i would wear less on the neck. Maybe a strand of pearls and a simple necklace to mix with it. On top, I can wear tanks to work but if i could not, i would maybe pair it with a short sleeved v-neck or some type of open neck line.

I really love that look - I marked it too! I think you could pull it off, for work maybe add a short choc shrug or instead of a tank wear a shirt with sleeves, more of a stretchy tee? Not sure if that's too casual for your office but I think it would look similar but appropriate. I just really like the look of all those pearls.

I must say I love almost everything in this issue. Not sure if it's because I'm on the shopping ban & anything looks good to me (much like any food looks good on a diet maybe) or because I like the fall options, but my "fall wish list" grew a lot after I looked at it.

oh, I gasped out lous when I saw that!! so pretty but yeah, kind of dressy for casual but not really work apropriate either. Maybe with a darker top instead of white or with a shrug it could work in the office. Or maybe with a cord blazer in a dark color (I'm thinking a burgendy?) if your office is cold enough (god knows mine it!). I am in love with those pants....oh how I wish they were cheaper.

Oh, yes. I have the perfect shrug.

Now I just have to find a chearper version of those pants....

Don't laugh...I got it at Kohl's. I don't see it on-line though. I know a lot of people hate Kohl's but I got to make the most of the stores I got! It's black so I'd proably have to find the trousers in a black/gray color. I'd probably layer the tank w/ another black one because just a white tank at work may not go over so well.

Can someone describe this look? I don't have the mag.

Grace · Dooney & Bourke

wide leg trousers, round toe shoes, white "wife beater" tank, multiple strands of pearls.

I'm gonna have to go home tonight, and go to that page in the Aug. '05 Lucky, to see what yall are talking about! LOL I just picked it up on Monday, so......

bex · Chanel

such a great outfit! i just flipped through it but they had some really great things.

luckylily · Gucci

Interesting. I've been skipping Lucky the past few months, but it sounds like I might have to pick this one up.

Grace · Dooney & Bourke

I think Lucky has really come back around. For awhile there the clothes were just odd to me. I didn't pick it up for awhile and now the last couple months have been great.

I'm not laughing - they have awesome sales & I have gotten some great pieces there - albeit hit or miss. I just got the prettiest pink poncho kind of wrap (unstylish) that I pulled apart & now it is the prettiest shawl for the fall. I can't wait!

I'm home now, and just flipped to pg. 146 - and WOW! I do like this look also, and would PROBABLY wear it to work. Not sure I'd wear those pants w/a tank, but like everything else other wise. Love those pearls too.
