Horrid :0(. Good luck with the doctors app's and let us know how it goes. </p> <p>But you crack me up. You have a dry sense of humour and it’s fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78876 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 03:45:57 +0000 shana 78876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies - I am blushing from all the compliments. That first look was really outside the box for me (yes, I am very boring). Usually when I wear a "tunic" top, it is an Indian style one with longer sleeves. I did quite a bit of experimenting with the skinnies and found that a mid-thigh or longer top was the most flattering (realized that although my hips are slim, my thighs are a little too full to wear skinnies with a shorter top). Anyway, while I felt pretty good, I was worried that I looked a little too "juniors" if that makes any sense.</p> <p>Patience, this dress might as well be maternity - it's pretty floaty on me. You should check out some of the J Crew dresses - so many of them seem well suited for maternity this year!</p> <p>Marianne, thanks for asking. My feet are better this week (but now it's my elbows &#38; knees that are killing me). I've been very careful to stick with roomy/open flats for now. My Danskos arrived a few days ago and I have been vacillating over whether I should keep them. My doctor's appointment has been rescheduled until Sept.14 (duh, I initially made it for when I was going to be in Europe). In the meantime, I am trying to get an appointment with a highly respected local homepath. Hopefully I can get some answers soon.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78710 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:57:08 +0000 Vani 78710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that Anthro top shana! I really like that look for you, and I think the skinnies look great, stock up! Love your white dress too, you wear it so well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78679 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:14:07 +0000 yublocka 78679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shana I really like both outfits!! Casual but still both elegant - maybe it is the white that helps with that, or maybe it is just you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78518 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 22:11:46 +0000 Angie 78518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shana! The first outfit is KILLER. That’s not jeans and a T shirt AT ALL. It’s jeans and a tunic and the knit has interest and detail so it’s a knitted top. Love this look on you! Well done :0) </p> <p>And I adore the white dress. So pretty and fresh against your skin tone. Woohoooo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78489 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:44:11 +0000 Inge 78489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"passes muster", are you kidding!-) I love that purple with the white skinny jeans (which look a-ma-zing on you by the way!)! In this outfit I don't mind the T-shirt fabric at all, curious to hear Angie's thoughts on this. The necklace is a lovely finishing touch.</p> <p>And you look gorgeous in that white dress too Shana! Love how you've paired it with a cardi in that "strong" blue as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78478 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 18:50:43 +0000 Kristen 78478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the tunic tee and white jeans! Both outfits are wonderfully summery and breezy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78443 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:58:16 +0000 Kathleen 78443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I love the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78411 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:29:34 +0000 Patience 78411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are great, Shana. I think the pockets and the necklace make the tunic tee work. Thanks for sharing the white dress. I dug up a white dress I got in my last pregnancy (apparently being pregnant makes me want to wear white dresses ;p). It has spaghetti straps which I wasn't too thrilled about, but I threw a navy short sleeve cardigan over it and took to heart your clorox bleach pen suggestion. I was quite pleased with the result (and I guess I looked quite similar to you but for a fuller skirt). And even though I did get some stains, I wasn't too concerned. Go white! I haven't decided about the IO dress yet, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78371 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 08:54:13 +0000 rute 78371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, The white jeans look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78360 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 04:05:26 +0000 marianne 78360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty! The purple color in the pic looks awesome on you, even though it sounds like its not what it looks it irl. I think skinnies looks great, I really like the silhouette of the first outfit on you.<br /> I also love wearing white in summer, and bleach pen is my friend. How are your feet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78336 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 02:53:08 +0000 bella 78336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of your outfits Shana, very summery! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78330 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 02:20:26 +0000 Anonymous 78330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I like both outfits. To me the tunic looks great with your choice of necklace. That really elevates the style. I wonder what Angie will say since it is a T shirt as you say.<br /> The dress and blue cari is so pretty and summery. It looks great on you. Lova lova. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-of-outfits-from-last-week-including-a-white-dress#post-78326 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 02:14:04 +0000 shana 78326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are a couple of outfits I wore this week. First up is a look that I would have never tried if not for ylf – white skinny jeans &#38; a tunic tee. I was very much inspired by a tunic tee that Jean/GreenGlove posted which she paired with clamdiggers and a scarf. It’s much too warm for a scarf so I opted for a longer, multi-layered necklace instead. The tee is from Anthropologie and is actually more of a navy than a purple as it appears in the photo. It features hip pockets and has an asymmetrical hemline. The skinnies are from F21 of all places – not really the best quality but it was a cheap way for me to experiment. If the look passes muster, I might invest in a better pair. </p> <p><a href="http://s374.photobucket.com/albums/oo187/shana_ylf/Week%20of%20July%206/?action=view&#038;current=tunicskinnies.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s374.photobucket.com/al.....innies.jpg</a></p> <p>This is however a tee and jeans - not really following ylf rules, is it? Does the necklace dress it up enough? Any other options/suggestions?</p> <p>Next is a dress that I bought at J Crew awhile back. I commented about this dress on Patience’s thread about white dresses. It’s a 100% cotton – not a knit! It’s very light &#38; summery and casual and has an eyelet inset panel. It’s sort of a halter neck and with my shoulders &#38; arms, I never go sleeveless so I threw on this short sleeved cardi &#38; some gold medallion type earrings. I added a gold cuff before and had a different pair of sandals when I went out (wore the flip flops for going out on the deck).</p> <p><a href="http://s374.photobucket.com/albums/oo187/shana_ylf/Week%20of%20July%206/?action=view&#038;current=whitedress.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s374.photobucket.com/al.....edress.jpg</a></p> <p>I realize that I have been wearing a lot of white lately. So far so good with mixing white and MOTG activities. I wore white clamdiggers to my son's soccer game/party on Friday and I did end up getting squirted with some red popsicle juice but it came out in the wash so no worries! At least for casual wear, knowing that I can hit any of these items with my Clorox Bleach pen gives me some peace of mind. </p>
