shiny's outfit 5/08 - YouLookFab Forum

Drizzly day today. I like this outfit and felt snappy all day!

Top: Sweet Pea
Cami: ATLoft
Jeans: Citizens
Necklace: Ann Taylor (has turquoise, gold and brown in it, if you can't tell)
ballet flats: Cole Haan

I've worn the top before, with light-colored (stone?) khakis (the pattern is not a white - it's closer to a cream or even a beige) and my turquoise pointy-toed sling backs. But the top is a bit sheer, so I think this layering with a cami works a lot better, and gives the pop of color.

I would've never thought to layer a cami under a scoop neck top, until this blog... so yeah for YLF!!!

The shoes: These are going with me to Paris. They are soooooo COMFY!! Like wearing bedroom slippers. They have the air Nike in them, but you can't tell - they look dainty as can be, but actually have a good amount of cushioning and support. And they are wider around the toe bed. They are metallic but a kinda pinkish/pearl gold.

They run a little long, which worked out good for me. I put an insert in the back of just one shoe - the foot that doesn't have a bunion. The one with the bunion, I left it out, so that my foot has more room and isn't squashed into the front right were it tends to rub and drive me batty.

I bought a second, similar Sweet Pea top the same time (this was weeks ago), now I just have to figure out what kind of cami to wear under it. The second top has shades of pink, mauve, yellow, and army green, all in a zig-zag pattern. The reason I bought it? I was on a mission to find something that would go with a diamond and pink sapphire bracelet my DH bought me!! I don't wear pinks and fushcias all that much.

Shiny, I love the sweet pea top with the cami. And the shoes. Everything really.
BTW I did a quick check on flickr about privacy and I think the only solution would be to make your pictures viewable only by friends and then everyone who wanted to see them would have to have a flickr account, let you know what their screen name was, and then you'd add them to your friends list. Not the most friendly method. I'm afraid there isn't anything on the internet that would give privacy more easily than this.

Yeah, I may have to switch over to photobucket - isn't that what everyone else is using? Does it have the same issues?

Wonderful outfit! You look fab as usual.

I haven't had any problems with photobucket yet, but I haven't been there for long either.

I love the layering you did and the colors. You look so tiny! I was going to post a picture of my Sweet Pea top and walk shorts yesterday but when I caught a glimpse of my relflection I realized it was really unflattering. I need to get the top hemmed, but for some reason I feel like that would look weird with a SP top because it's just all unfinished edges and no hems.

Shiny you look amazing! I love everything about that outfit: the colors, the layering, the shoes and the bag. Perfect!

I love that top, Shiny. Whenever I see a fabric print that I love, it's usually a Sweet Pea shirt.

I like to post pictures of outfits that I don't think are flattering because I love the feedback and advice on fixing the problem. I think of you guys as my first line of defense. Defending me from being seen looking like a frumpy old lady!

You are FAR from looking like a frumpy old lady Nicole. Don't sell yourself short!
