PMWIW2 : Wildcard / Statement?

Hi Ladies,

Todays outfit and as per Denise's suggestion, I tried another photo spot but my creativity was a bit lacking :)

Worn to the Community Meal today:)

Black skinny jeans, cream draped top, paisley print kimono jacket and open toe booties.

Felt good in this but the afternoon heated up, so swapped out the booties for birks and rolled my jeans for school pick up.

Not sure if this jacket fits the wildcard category, I am assuming it's a statement piece? 

What say you.  Does it work.  The jacket was purchased on a bit of a whim :)

Thanks for looking,

#4 was some creative editing, just for fun :) Supposed to look like a drawing :)

xxx Deborah

    Love the outfit. Great Kimono on you. I see you're wearing white again. I didn't wear much white until YLF. You too I think. Now we are getting into Autumn here & I dressed today without white & felt so dark lol.

  • Suz replied 9 years ago

    It's definitely a statement, and a beautiful one! I am not sure it qualifies as a wild card because the architectural cut, while different from your typical draping, is equally dramatic. Unless having a bit of white in it makes it a wildcard, LOL. ;) But whatever it is, it looks great on you, and this is a fabulous outfit!! 

  • Debora replied 9 years ago

    Your jacket is a gorgeous wild card, Deborah. Love everything about this outfit! How did you edit the photo in #4 to make it appear as a sketch? So cool!

  • Sveta replied 9 years ago

    This kimono is a beautiful statement and so much you! Outstanding outfit and fun "hand drawing" picture :-)

  • Carole replied 9 years ago

    What fun, Deborah. You look stunning as always. Love your kimono and the chic and classy style of your outfit. That last picture is just super cute! Great idea and A+!!!

  • TraceyLiz65 replied 9 years ago

    Yes, a great statement piece. Love this!

  • Jaime replied 9 years ago

    Whether wildcard or statement it is super on you!

  • carolbee replied 9 years ago

    This outfit is fantastic. Love the kimono, lovethe black amd white combo.

  • Neel replied 9 years ago

    A wildcard is something that may not be you .... But it could be a style direction you would like to go in or something that pushes you outside your comfort zone. A wildcard could easily be a statement. That's how I understand it! I could be wrong!

    So this I think is a statement wildcard ^_^ Whatever you call it ...
    I love it! It's beautiful on you. 4 is a fun picture!

  • Missey replied 9 years ago

    I think you picked the perfect kimono jacket.  It definitely fits in with your existing wardrobe and could enhance many of your oufits.  If the statement you're trying to make is "I look awesome!", then you have succeeded!

  • Meredith replied 9 years ago

    Beautiful statement! Fun to see you in print!

  • replied 9 years ago

    Wow Deborah, you look beautiful in this mix of white and black - I really , really love that kimono jacket on you too. Fab!  And your hair looks particularly great in these photos - something a little different but I can't put my finger on it...:)

  • Peri replied 9 years ago

    Whatever you call it, it is gorgeous! I want it! It looks great on you.

  • bj1111 replied 9 years ago

    Deb,
    i see what you mean about this being a wildcard.  it's not your usual shape and the paisley pattern is a bit sweeter or boho than i'm used to seeing on you.  that said, if you love it, it loves you back.

  • jackiec replied 9 years ago

    Gorgeous statement!!! Fun! 

    That #4 edited photo is so cool...how did you do that? Fun fun fun.

  • kellygirl replied 9 years ago

    Beautiful kimono jacket. It's stunning on you. You look amazing. 

  • Parsley replied 9 years ago

    You look fabulous in that kimono jacket, Deborah!
    The black and white combo is terrific on you; I think the white brightens up the look as you head into warm weather.

    Your special effects photography is fun, too!

  • viva replied 9 years ago

    Beautiful kimono! It is so fun to see you in a print, and this is a beautiful one.

    I love the creating photography shot! :)

  • lyn67 replied 9 years ago

    Not really the wildest, but a statement for sure! LOL, unless so much  white is wild for you:-)). Great, bold print, but still your style! I love your bl&w outfits, not rigid at all, taking notes-as always love a monochromatic outfit! Love the edgy shoes, too!:-)

  • Sal replied 9 years ago

    I am glad you found a kimono! I love this on you. Fun pics too.

  • catgirl replied 9 years ago

    This is amazing! When I got to the pictures I couldn't believe you might doubt it. You have me rethinking the kimono look now!

  • texstyle replied 9 years ago

    Really beautiful outfit - love the kimono on you and I'd say it's a statement piece. The drawing is fun too - a good idea for how to do a holiday card maybe...

  • Transcona Shannon replied 9 years ago

    Whether it is a statement piece or a wildcard piece, either way this looks incredible on you Deb. I love when you have a peek of white somewhere on y our top half to bookend your beautiful hair and the overall shape and fit of the kimono is just perfect. I suspect it would look great with white jeans too.

  • Lyn D. replied 9 years ago

    Fun 'drawing pic' :)
    Thanks for the reminder to wear my peep-toe booties- they remind us that even though it is not warm Summer is coming :)

  • Astrid replied 9 years ago

    Love love love the jacket! Whether wildcard or statement, it's perfect for you. The outfit is awesome. #4 is fun.

  • Deborah replied 9 years ago

    Thanks very much for your kind words;)  And so glad you like the Kimono jacket.

    Neel, thank you for the definition:)  I didn't have time to go and check Angie's post.  So this isn't a wildcard, but is a statement :)

    I use a  (free) program called photoscape to edit my photos on my laptop.  #4  is a feature of that program.

    Lisa, you have a very good eye, you don't miss a thing:)  I have had my hair cut and coloured recently and the cut is shorter:)  I am also battling with some breakage from when I went platinum early this year so the shape can look a bit 'off'.

    Una, I have been looking for a Kimono jacket for nearly 3 years.  Bought two and promptly resold because they just didn't suit me, this one was a cheapy at a store I never shop at:)  Who knew.

    Shannon, I am still struggling to actually wear my white jeans but I will try this with them... anything to get them into regular rotation :)

  • Debbie replied 9 years ago

    This is a great piece for you. Look the outfit and the editing.

  • Windchime replied 9 years ago

    Terrific kimono jacket and terrific outfit, Deb! I do believe white becomes you just as much as black. I hope you try this with your white jeans and report back. :) Very fun photo editing in #4.

  • Elizabeth P replied 9 years ago

    Love this jacket for you Deborah.  I'd say statement, but not sure it's a wildcard, esp if you've been seeking one for three years.  To my mind a wildcard is somehting that is more  spur of the moment, or pushing your style in a different direction.  Like my pleather culottes... I wouldn't in a million years have put them on my "list".  But they're fun to play with!

  • Angie replied 9 years ago

    Killer

    LOVE seeing you in black and white. xo

  • karymk replied 9 years ago

    So cute--Love the pose

  • AJ replied 9 years ago

    Ooohhh, I love it! Still has your arty and elegant vibe. I like the addition of white for your warmer season. Cool drawing effect!

  • jenanded replied 9 years ago

    Kimono is a real statement. Allows you to wear black but lighten up for summer x

  • Eliza replied 9 years ago

    How did I miss this? Beautiful. You wear this very well and love that your top is white under the graphic kimono. Makes it! Deborah, no limits to your style quotient.

  • Joy replied 9 years ago

    Love this on you, Deborah. Elegant eclectic with a touch of drama.

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

    This is one of my favorites on you, Deborah! I love that jacket on you and the white top under it is so fresh. You are ravishing in black and white! Your pose and the drawing effect are fun, too.

  • CocoLion replied 9 years ago

    Really fantastic!  And I love the "illustration" of you.  You should frame it and give it to family members.

  • Caro in Oz replied 9 years ago

    I missed this too - YLF. Love the kimono & the drawing.
