It kicks everything up a notch. I also love the butterfly print and it looks fabulous dressed up and down. The buttondown with the clams is so cute, both versions. The denim looks great with the striped skirt. I like it tucked, personally. 14 is wonderful. Also love the silver bracelet you are sporting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-957074 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 01:23:33 +0000 Jjsloane 957074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every one is a winner for me. You look great. I was thinking how wonderful you can wear the same shoes and they always work (I am so a shoe hopper and it's crazy) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-957048 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 00:29:47 +0000 Eliza 957048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these, Debora. The first dress is great on you and versatile. When you hit it right at Talbots' outlet, it can really work. I tend to either find nothing or several things I want. Like the butterflies also and agree it is fun with the Cons.</p> <p>You look so polished and ready for summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-956984 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 23:14:40 +0000 Anonymous 956984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Each of these is fabulous! I especially like 4, 8, 10, 11, &amp; 14 and hope you keep the LE dress at midi length for now at least. There is lots to be inspired by here. Thank you for posting these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-956959 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 22:25:21 +0000 Debora 956959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>Ali, you sound like my mom! I actually scolded her today over the phone. She told me she tried to get up on a chair to wash windows today, She's 82 years old!!! Luckily she couldn't quite make it. I'll probably still be balancing on my tub at 82, modeling the latest in geriatric fashion.</p> <p>Janet, I actually wore #10 for a weekend trip to Annapolis two weeks ago. Too bad it was such a quick trip or we would made a side trip to Baltimore. I also wore the blue floral dress and the striped skirt that weekend. Our first time there and it was lovely. </p> <p>Sarah, I would love to see your version of #10! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-956878 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:14:17 +0000 sarah 956878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debora, it's so nice to see you post! I copied #10 on Friday with my GAP butterfly shirt : ). I love all of these, of course. You have such an elegant casual style - I don't know how else to describe it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-956862 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 19:54:16 +0000 Janet 956862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! We've missed you, Queen Tub Balancer! So nice to see you again. Your outfits look marvelous.</p> <p>I am so copying #10! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-956859 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 19:49:21 +0000 Anonymous 956859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, get down off that tub, young lady! &nbsp;Don't you know most accidents happen in the home?</p> <p>Okay, enough scolding.</p> <p>You look so great!!! &nbsp;You are adorable in the Cons! &nbsp;You are rocking the daytime clutch, and I just love the butterflies. &nbsp;I think I have the same metallic sandals -- mine are Eccos. &nbsp;(Another one with foot issues here.)</p> <p>Beautiful, superb! &nbsp;Thanks for posting. &nbsp;You are a treat for the eyes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-956249 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 00:25:49 +0000 Nicola 956249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What lovely outfits.

You're on FIRE!</p> <p>I would maybe shorten the Land's End, if you like to wear it with a jean jacket... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-956047 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 20:16:14 +0000 Debora 956047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just getting back to this thread now, and I wanted to say thank you for all your kind comments, ladies. I'm so happy the butterfly top is getting so much love. I'll have fun with is this summer, for sure.</p> <p>Suz, I'm still debating shortening the blue floral, maybe 2". A friend suggested wearing it long for this summer and then maybe taking it up next summer after I've road tested it as a midi. I might just do that! :)</p> <p>Shevia, your comment cracked me up! </p> <p>Happy weekend, fashion friends! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-955646 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 13:57:25 +0000 bj1111 955646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are making me want a chambray shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-955645 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 13:56:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 955645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness Debora - what a group of gorgeous outfits!

I love this set of outfits and the butterfly top is so beautiful.

I agree, that type of dress is very hard to find and so wonderful to wear. Very pretty and ladylike.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-955389 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 02:27:24 +0000 Jaime 955389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an inspiring set of outfits! I love them all but will pick #4,10,13 and 14 are aspirational! I love how you balance (ha ha?) being elegant and casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-955376 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 02:13:33 +0000 Wendi1984 955376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style! I'm jealous of the butterfly top in particular. You do a great job styling your clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-955369 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 02:08:11 +0000 nancylee 955369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these looks Debora! &nbsp;Like Angie I really like #4, but the ditzy dress in #1 is super cute, too, as are the denim + striped skirt looks in #10-13.</p> <p>And you've inspired me to try some new combinations with my summer pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-955286 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 00:52:38 +0000 Debora 955286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Andrea and La Belle! I've been feeling a bit whimsical this spring with the butterfly top and cat blouse. Oh, and can't forget the tea cup top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-955157 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:15:44 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 955157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty!&nbsp; &nbsp; And I <u>adore</u> the butterfly top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-955152 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 21:08:42 +0000 Andrea W 955152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the outfits - so laid back cool! All great pieces: esp the butterfly top, stripe skirt and the dresses too. Lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-955127 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:41:15 +0000 Debora 955127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awwww, thanks Angie! Wouldn't you know the almost white outfit was an afterthought? I originally had it on with my navy skirt and changed into the white skirt minutes before going out the door. Glad I did! I almost returned the midi,, but then decided to keep it. I have such a need for sleeveless, breezy dresses in this climate. I wore it out to dinner last night with hubby and felt good in it. I'm thinking both dresses will pack well and be good out-to-dinner dresses during our summer travels. Thanks again for your kind words! xo</p> <p>Suz, I should have added that you and MaryK were my inspiration for #14! I remember when you did your twinsie's outfits and I took note. Glad you like #11. I had it on Sunday and ran into a friend I hadn't seen in awhile. She liked it too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-955118 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:23:10 +0000 Suz 955118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So great to see you!! LOVE the new Talbot's dress and your clutch. The dress looks fantastic for the heat. And the "almost white" look is gorgeous. But my favourite is the dressed down version with Cons. So fun! I am also high-fiving my LLBean sweater twin. Love #14. And I really like #11, too, with the denim and the striped skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not sure about the blue dress. It's tough to say without seeing your head, too, you know? It makes it a bit difficult to judge the overall proportions. But the pattern and colours are so fresh and summery; it looks like a potential workhorse item, so it would be worth getting it to just the length you prefer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-955117 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 20:22:34 +0000 Angie 955117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well aren't you a fabulously fun casually styled Queen Tub Balancer! </p> <p>#14 is quintessential, Deb - your signature look :)</p> <p>#5 and #10 are so fun I can't stand it! You look far too good to have two&nbsp; grown up kids!!! You hip honey-pie.&nbsp; </p> <p>#7/#8 is beautifully elegant - a midi will do that! So pretty and ladylike. </p> <p>#4 is KILLER and my best! </p> <p>#1 is breezy, relaxed and sassy! </p> <p>Always fun to see you post. xox</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-spring-and-summer-wiws#post-955088 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 19:29:40 +0000 Debora 955088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello fabbers! </p> <p>Here are a few new items and a few remixes from the past few weeks. </p> <p>Photo #1-3: new ditsy floral dress from the Talbot's outlet. It has ruching on the side and is very forgiving. Green envelope clutch from BR outlet store and BR Mad Men bracelet.</p> <p>Photo # 4-6: Almost white: Butterfly top from Talbot's outlet store, dressed up and down.</p> <p>Photo # 7-8: Land's End blue floral key hole dress. Should I shorten it?</p> <p>Photo #9-10 Gap cat top: untucked and trying the semi-tuck.</p> <p>Photo #11-13: Trying to update my striped skirt with denim.</p> <p>Photo #14: From earlier this spring, new LLBean mariner top.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to look. I always welcome your comments.</p> <p>ETA: I apologize for the same old boring footwear in every post, but I'm limited as to what I can wear due to several on-going foot issues. I am always on the lookout for comfy shoes. </p>
