Kristen, showing off the gams July 27-31

Hee, this is the first week ever that I wore a skirt or a dress every single day! Guess I was getting my dressed-up yaya's out before we go vacationing in the Tennessee woods for a week.

Monday: the ruched cotton black dress makes a reappearance, this time without a cardigan. The dress is a little big on me now but I still love it; it is indestructible! http://lowfatdressing.blogspot.....remix.html

Tuesday: the NAS Trina Turk skirt that Angie and I both got makes its debut.

Wednesday: A day in which I wear no color. *gasp*

Thursday: Would this count as a "sack dress" look? It sure was comfy and breezy feeling.

Friday: I had the three picnic options from the other thread, but went with the denim skirt. I think that is my favorite piece this summer; why did I put off buying one for so long?

Have a great week, everyone! I'm going to have fun catching up when I return mid-August.

And they are beautiful gams, Kristen! Almost as beautiful as your smile. I'll be back - have to run and help a client.

Love your outfits! I must have that TT skirt. It's so lovely! And I really like Thursday's outfit as well. So pretty!

Beautifully done.

LOVE all your outfits. The TT skirt is breathtaking!

You are well on your way sack dress-dom, Kristen! Love that outfit best. KILLER. Voluminous yet somehow streamlined at the same time. You clever little sausage :0)

You look lovely in all outfits. But because you look so good in turquoise and teal and I adore that TT skirt myself, my vote is for that outfit as best. Find yourself a great teal cardi when your shopping ban is over!

OT: I'd love to see a post where people who have bought the same NAS items all wear and style them differently. Your idea of jeans and a T styled differently for personal style was so informative. I love those magazine spreads where they do this same multiple styling approach with more unique items, and I think YLF would do it even better and be more "real." I might have just talked myself into the TT skirt with that logic LOL! Or (with the word budget blaring in my brain), maybe we could each pick one dress/top from our own closet and style it as many ways as possible.

Yeeehaw! I got a "clever little sausage" from Angie. I can go on vacation a happy woman.

I will be looking at sack styles this fall for dresses; I suspect one in sweater material might get a ton of use. You definitely sold me on its merits! But honestly, I think for Thursday's outfit it's the bf sweater that does all the slimming; those sweaters are completely amazing in their versatility and transformative properties. They lengthen my torso wonderfully, they're soft and yet they hold their shape, and the arms make my arms look very slender, which slims the rest of me too. It doesn't matter what I wear them with, they perform the same magical transformation. Best buy of the summer!

That TT skirt is another miracle worker; I love how sassy yet understated the pattern is, and the fabric is a dream. The only thing I don't like is the scratchiness of the lace lining so far up from the hem of the skirt. Angie, would you recommend getting it altered so it is removed and replaced by straight satin/silk? I'm worried the abrasiveness against my hose/tights this fall might cause damage to them.

Jillian, I love that idea of the NAS clothes challenge! You should start another thread suggesting it! I also like the multiple-styles-for-one-piece idea. I'd love to see people try that too.

Thanks all! I may be able to pop in from the iPhone sometimes, but I will be back fulltime after the 10th.

Have a great vacation!!

You wear that boyfriend cardi so well that it's just insane. Something about it is perfect for your body type. More boyfriend cardis this fall, please!

I don't know if you're already gone yet, Kristen. Have a wonderful time. You look amazing in everything. Fun, fun, fun! I do love the sack dress look but also the M. Obama ATL dress. I always love it.

agrace

where did you find your nude colored wedge espadrilles if you dont mind sharing? They are wonderful. I like all the outfits!

Agrace I got them at Clarks two years ago. I saw them in the outlet this summer but not in the stores

Chris

I think the term "sack" dress is a misnomer. THat look certainly does not look sack-ish lol. Cute!

Enjoy your vacation!

Ana

Kristen, you look fabulous! I love all your outfits! My favorite is the teal cardi with the Trina Turk skirt--I LOVE the print on the skirt, it's so graphic, and it fits you perfectly.

Friday, I'd wear the first outfit, but all of them get a big thumbs up.

You look gorgeous!

Fantastic - you are *such* an inspiration. Have fun in the woods.
