WIW - a few recent outfits - YouLookFab Forum

Sorry I've been so absent. It's hard to get on YLF during the day now and I'm usually too busy in the evenings. Also, the baby boy and I both have colds which is making me extra tired. He's not sleeping well at night because he's congested and can't breathe, and consequently I'm not sleeping well either.

#1 - New sweater. It was a birthday gift from my mom last Sept but I was pregnant and couldn't wear it. I forgot about it until I unpacked my summer clothes. It's fluid, oversized, and has sheer stripes - all new trends I've wanted to try.

#2 - I wore this to an industry gala/awards dinner. I think it was more flattering in real life, my posture isn't very good in this picture.

#3 - My Easter outfit. This skirt is super stretchy and I wore it a lot last summer when I was pregnant. I've having problems coming up with outfits for it this spring though. I don't seem to have that much that matches.

#4 - Today's outfit which was planned around the shoes. This is a departure for me since I usually feel I need to wear heels with this skirt. I'm hoping the flats look okay with the midi skirt because I really love the blue color of the shoes.

Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions are more than welcome!

I love all of them. You look especially gorgeous in the blue dress. Such a pretty color on you. And the cobalt flats are TDF.

Hope you and DS feel better soon. Sleepless nights can play havoc with your mind. Argh!

Your pooch is a sweetie. And that's a happy and festive Easter outfit. Have you tried partially tucking the front of the peach blouse? Remember that white always looks good as a top option with a pattern. Do you have white shoes?

Loving the cobalt ankle straps in #4 too. Great look.

You look so nice!!! I love the nude clutch with the cobalt dress. Also love the unexpected blue shoes with the skirt. At first glance they look like heels! The shirt in #1 is nice too - definately something I would wear too.

Loving 4 those shoes are great

Today's shoes are killer - where are they from? I like the punch of color with the black and white, very nice.

I like the sheer stripe sweater and can see it as a useful summer piece. As well as Angie's white top suggestion, what about darker tones with the pencil skirt? The blue, navy maybe or black? Or to throw a crazy one out there, chambray?

Hope both you and kiddo feel better soon.

I love the cobalt shoes! Great outfit. You look fab in all of these. The cobalt dress is so pretty, too! I hope your baby feels better soon. It's hard when you don't get enough sleep, on both of you.

Fun kitty and beautiful doggie.

You look terrific. Even more so because I know how hard it is to put together any semblance of an outfit when sick and on no sleep!

It is so hard to dress or do much of anything when you and the little one is sick. So brutal, especially when neither of you is getting any sleep. I hope you both are feeling better soon!

All great, but I can't decide between 1,2, and 4 as my favorites!

You look great in all of these, Sara! I especially like the cobalt shoes, and I think semi-tucking the top with the floral skirt will look super.

#1 and 2 are nicely polished. The floral tube skirt and heels, have got great punch. Love the black and white and shot of blue of #4.

You're looking good Sara, sorry to hear you and your boy are under the weather though. The new sweater in #1 looks breezy and cool, it'll look fab paired with some white or light gray or coral. #2 is nice and polished as Rachy said, I love the blush clutch with that dress. Very pretty skirt in #3, I second Angie's suggestions and would also like to throw in the suggestion of a bomber jacket, a cropped blazer, or cropped faded denim jacket. Today's outfit looks super with the cobalt flats, those are amazing shoes! Hello cute at-attention pup and washer-defying kitty ^^

Between kids, dog and cat what a houseful you have! I hope you and baby boy are feeling better soon. All of these are really nice and I love the blue shoes with 4. I'd love to see new new top in 1 with white too.

Your look good in all these outfits and you are looking remarkably chipper and pulled together for a new Mum - I'm pretty sure I spent the first 6months in track suits and T-shirts continuously sniffing to find that tiny bit of throw up on the back of my shoulder - ahhhhhhh happy days.

Lantana

You are looking great Sarah and it is so nice to see you post. Sorry you and the little one are off colour, losing out on a good night's sleep sure takes the gloss off life.
But you don't look unwell, you look really healthy and I like all your outfits.

Debra

You look great, I'd never guess you are sleep deprived love the blue shoes, I bought a similar pair today and will defiantly wear them with black and white. I also really like your floral skirt. Stretchy, comfy, stylish and versatile, it ticks all of my boxes

leopardluxe

Nice outfits! I'm especially partial to #3 and #4. I love the peach blouse with the floral skirt (and agree w/Angie that it would be interesting to see it partially tucked) and I love how the bright blue shoes work so well with the simple and bold graphic black and white in #4. YLF!

goldenpig

Great to see you Sara! I love your outfits, especially #2 and #4, you look great in cobalt! Hope you and your baby feel better soon!

Suz

My goodness, you look terrific for someone who has a cold and is sleep deprived! Love the new sweater on you -- it's a gorgeous colour and would be amazing with white as well. The dressy outfit is also fab. The blush clutch with it is an unexpected and lovely touch. Hello to your pup and kitty!

Transcona Shannon

I never look anywhere near that good when I'm sick and tired!

LOVE that blue dress on you in #2 Sara - such a pretty color and flattering shape.

I also really like the last outfit with the graphic black and white paired with those stunning cobalt strap shoes.

Sara L.

Well to be fair, I only have a cold in the last two photos. The first two are pre-cold.

I have white shoes so a white top might be a possibility for the floral skirt.

The black and white floral skirt had to be tossed. It's linen and the fabric had split and shredded in the back. It wasn't repairable. I've had it 3 or 4 years but don't wear it every week or anything. That was a bummer.

All cute outfits Sara and I LOVE that cobalt dress on you - wow! Is that your pooch? What a perfect pose next to you, so sweet.

Pretty new top in #1 and your furbaby is adorable (and tall!)
