But I know they're quite old, and I'm not sure they still have anything like them. &nbsp;They make me laugh because I've had them 2-3 years now (bought at a rummage sale), and they've always just been 'meh'. &nbsp;This year, however, I get compliments every time I wear them - they're suddenly cool :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1329645 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 01:55:48 +0000 E 1329645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG I love #1! And #5 is clearly what you should be wearing when you're thrifting, so you can become fussier. (Can't remember if you're on a shopping ban or not.) I love the idea of a gold standard outfit!</p> <p>I love #4 too, but that's totally a look I'd wear in a heartbeat (in fact, I have pink skinnies &amp; blousey white tops, so I might have to copycat you), so I'm probably biased. It seems girlier than your usual style, for what that's worth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1329438 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 21:01:58 +0000 Nicole D 1329438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice idea - have a "gold standard" outfit. &nbsp;#5 is a god one. &nbsp;I also love 3 and 5 but all outfits say casual and cool&nbsp;summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1329437 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 20:57:40 +0000 annagybe 1329437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #5 best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1329387 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 19:28:48 +0000 Anonymous 1329387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1! I agree with Denise re-#2 as I love the vest, but I'm a little unsure as to how it looks over the sweater. I agree with you that #4 looks better untucked than #3 and I adore #5! I think you're really finding&nbsp;your groove Amy. These are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1329373 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 19:07:23 +0000 Alana in Canada 1329373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in every outfit--though I do agree aboutthe hem. You really take dressing simply to a whole other level.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1329367 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 19:02:22 +0000 Suz 1329367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea to compare all outfits to your favourite one! I love your favourite, too -- it's very similar to one of my own favourite summer outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>My second favourite here is #1, followed by #2.&nbsp;</p> <p>So glad this experiment is working well for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1329360 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 18:52:43 +0000 carter 1329360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this experiment really is working for you. Every outfit looks great to me. #2 and #5 are my favorites, but they all work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1329322 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 18:06:00 +0000 texstyle 1329322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also really like #5.&nbsp; I noticed right away that #5 is the only one with a v-neck - I personally favor v-necks or higher necks in a sleeveless style. I wonder if that is one of the factors in your happiness of #5? The neckline of a top really makes a huge difference in how it impacts the overall shape of an outfit.</p> <p> Great job on the vest!&nbsp; I think I'd try to pair it with something really feminine.</p> <p>Also, I wonder, if you only wear the pink pants in summer, have you considered making them into above the knee roll up shorts?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1329285 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 17:31:29 +0000 MuseumGal 1329285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderfully comfy and casual and pulled together.&nbsp; What are those sandal/shoe thingies in the 1st 2 pics?&nbsp; Are they comfy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1329265 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 17:02:26 +0000 Sara L. 1329265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are all great!&nbsp; I like #3 - I think it has a more casual vibe than #4.&nbsp; the neutrals in #1 look great together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1329254 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 16:45:40 +0000 rachylou 1329254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The peach is very appealing and classically attractive. I like it quite a bit with the white top and sandals. Love the grey jeans; I'm into grey jean right now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1328960 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 06:41:51 +0000 CocoLion 1328960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in 3/4 -- gorgeous colors. &nbsp;I also like 1 and 5, I can see why you love 5 it's a great go-to formula, comfortable, and looks pulled together. &nbsp;Not sure if the vest in 2 works with that top. &nbsp;Maybe experiment with different tops? &nbsp;The vest looks rather fitted and with today's looser tops, you may need to go with something more body con underneath it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1328958 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 06:27:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 1328958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #5 &amp; can see why it's your favourite. Not sure about the proportions of #4 but it could just be the camera angle </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1328943 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 05:35:29 +0000 Beth Ann 1328943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first look is awesome both ways!&nbsp; Beautiful job with the new vest!&nbsp; I do like #4 better than #3 -- the lightness of the fabrics suit the color scheme.</p> <p>I can certainly see why #5 is your favorite -- good balance of fluid and structure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1328901 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 04:23:34 +0000 Dee 1328901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One and five are my favorites! I agree that the second look with the pink pants works a little better, a combination of it the breezier top and the lack of sleeves balancing out its extra volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1328900 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 04:20:40 +0000 Jaime 1328900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1 and #5 and the pink pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1328894 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 04:14:42 +0000 abc 1328894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving the mesh shirt! You look super comfy casual yet well put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-wiws-17#post-1328884 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 04:07:46 +0000 amiable 1328884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This time of summer is very busy, and I'm enjoying my smaller wardrobe very much. &nbsp;I've started to compare every outfit to my current favorite combo (chambray shirt, white shorts, black belt and black birks - #5). &nbsp;Do I feel as fab in this? &nbsp;If not, I need to figure out what isn't right, and probably purge or alter some.<br />Here's a few of the things I have worn, not everything has gotten photographed.</p> <p>#1 - gray boyfriends (actually full length, just super rolled) have replaced my missing blue ones. This is a playing with neutrals mixing. &nbsp;White mesh-sleeved sweater, gray jeans, brown belt and shoes. &nbsp;I felt good in this.<br />#2 I tried it with my new made vest (I took your suggestion and cut off the sleeves of a jean jacket). &nbsp;I liked the way it looked, but it was too warm today.<br />#3 bright pink and white, gray and white camo shoes. I wanted to wear something untucked for a change, but this wasn't the right choice of what to leave untucked - the hem is looking sloppy.<br />#4 dressier version of the same outfit. &nbsp;The untuck works here, maybe?<br />#5 My current favorite outfit - oft worn. &nbsp;The blue is gauzy cotton and quite cool for humid summer weather.</p> <p>Comments are welcome!</p> <p> </p>
