Your comments are truly heartwarming and also make me feel safer about playing with the sporty style. <br /><b>Suz</b>: Today was even warmer! :-)<br /><b>Diane G: </b>I was a bit unsure about the bomber cardi with the retro skirt. A soft blouse might be better. <br /><b>approprio</b>: Sneaks are great! But I do prefer a heel at work so I switch to pumps or wedged shoes. <br /><b>Ledonna N</b>: Thanks for your comments. I see what you mean about the break of the vertical line in #1. <br /><b>CocoC</b>: Thanks for the suit love. <br /><b>ramya</b>: Sure, they would fit great in your work environment :-)<br /><b>Angie</b>: Thanks for the Sporty Lux inspiration! Initially I thought it was a ridiculous trend, but it came sneaking back upon me. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3x-spring-wiw-retro-sporty-fun#post-1487752 Wed, 06 May 2015 19:14:50 +0000 Angie 1487752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like #2.

The thrifted skirt and jacket are fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3x-spring-wiw-retro-sporty-fun#post-1487158 Tue, 05 May 2015 19:32:22 +0000 Ledonna N. 1487158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style evolution is always great! My favorite is #4. With #1 running a strong second</p> <p>Love the retro suit and you can sew always winning in my book. I like the polkadot sweater but not the band at the bottom of it. It looks like it stops the smooth line of the fit (outfit). </p> <p>The mesh top and the sleeveless blouse with contrasting color is amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3x-spring-wiw-retro-sporty-fun#post-1487149 Tue, 05 May 2015 19:14:34 +0000 approprio 1487149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving your new sporty look, and the vintage suit. Nice to see the return of skirts and sneaks as well.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3x-spring-wiw-retro-sporty-fun#post-1487145 Tue, 05 May 2015 19:08:26 +0000 Anonymous 1487145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The retro suit is fab. I prefer it as a whole and I think I prefer the bomber jacket worn over the black skirt as in #2. I love the black sneakers worn with that combo. #3/4 is great, the red sneakers add a nice hit of colour with the neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3x-spring-wiw-retro-sporty-fun#post-1487125 Tue, 05 May 2015 18:23:36 +0000 Suz 1487125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is fabulous! Love that jacket on you. I also like the retro suit in #1.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope your weather begins to warm up soon. We have finally started to get some sunny, warm days.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3x-spring-wiw-retro-sporty-fun#post-1487123 Tue, 05 May 2015 18:20:32 +0000 harmonica 1487123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>merwoman</b>! #2 has become a FFBO, though feels a bit dark in colour when entering May (but its still cold!).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3x-spring-wiw-retro-sporty-fun#post-1487120 Tue, 05 May 2015 18:17:26 +0000 merwoman 1487120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Evolution is fun - love the sneaks, especially in pic#2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3x-spring-wiw-retro-sporty-fun#post-1487008 Tue, 05 May 2015 14:51:39 +0000 harmonica 1487008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I'm scarce at the forum. Too much RL stuff on the plate. </p> <p>My style is evolving. Retro is still very present, but I'm surprised how I seem to gravitate towards sporty. Didn't see that coming! I think the practical, comfy and stylish part have found a common ground in the sporty trend which also allows for a professional touch. I like that. For sentimental (and practical) reasons I enjoy skirts and sneakers. I loved that combo in the 90s, too.</p> <p>#1<br /> Thrifted skirt and blazer, probably from the 70's (4$). I've hemmed the skirt to hit the knee<br /> Dotted navy/yellow cardi (Paul Smith)<br /> Charcoal tights<br /> Black booties<br /> Navy bag</p> <p>#2<br /> Dotted navy/yellow cardi (Paul Smith)<br /> Charcoal pencil<br /> Charcoal tights<br /> Black sneakers<br /> Navy bag</p> <p>#3/4<br /> Black mesh sweater over cream silk top (theory)<br /> Dotted, tuxedo stripe trousers<br /> Red sneakers Spring jacket</p> <p>What do you think? Comments and tweaks are welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting. </p>
