I like the effect of the undone hem paired with the sleeker shorts and shoes. Sweaters+shorts is a thing out here in Seattle, too. Loads of transitional weather makes for all kinds of seasonally-confused pairings Great new bracelet in #4; how about adding another metallic element somewhere in that outfit for some extra shine? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-weak-week#post-1862350 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 17:10:59 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1862350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that's good to hear. I often wonder if I'm stirring the pot/ ruffling feathers too much. Even when I mean well, I'm not sure how things come off, so I'm glad to hear from you that they must be landing positively, as I intend.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-weak-week#post-1862348 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 17:08:41 +0000 Angie 1862348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My pleasure.

The pattern and texture of the top is fab with your hair.

I chose brightly colored clothes for him, but the way he put them together could be crazy. Pink was his favorite, then purple. The boys in first grade took care of that. I was so sad, even though I’m not into pink for myself. A few years later, he chose all green accessories for his room. I tell myself that after the teen years, he’ll revisit the idea of color. Probably not quite so bright, but I do think he looks nice in this pic, wearing clothes he says are much too light. I hope he’ll wear the Express top with the muted color side out, but we’ll see. If this is the height of his rebellion, then I’m lucky.</p> <p>Thanks, Dizzy Lizzy! He wore that for his grandparents &amp; me. Of course there were a couple requisite complaints, but I hope he felt good enough to be willing to wear it again. </p> <p>Rachylou, anywhere else, I would have returned that top because the fabric is thin, but here it is just the right weight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-weak-week#post-1861782 Sun, 19 Nov 2017 15:37:35 +0000 LaPed 1861782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That herringbone top is great!</p> <p>My LO is the opposite of your son -- he is so drawn to tropical brights (lime green is his fave, followed by yellow, orange, pink and turquoise), but my preference (and his papa's) is dark neutrals. He's getting pretty good at advocating his preferences -- when we renovated his room, he chose pale green walls, a striped green lamp, and a matching rug. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-weak-week#post-1861750 Sun, 19 Nov 2017 09:12:05 +0000 rachylou 1861750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that ragged hem top! Great with the clam diggers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-weak-week#post-1861745 Sun, 19 Nov 2017 08:55:44 +0000 DizzyLizzy 1861745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That photo of the two of you together is just gorgeous. Your boy has style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-weak-week#post-1861707 Sun, 19 Nov 2017 02:52:53 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1861707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m still trying to do a 30-day wardrobe challenge with berry/plum colors in lightweight materials for fall weather on Florida’s Sunshine Coast. I had thought this was going to be a busy time, but in fact I worked from home quite a bit this week, so didn’t really get dressed iykwim. That made it a pretty weak week, wiw-wise. </p> <p>The Old Navy puffer vest arrived. I had thought of wearing it with the navy dress, but the color is really drab and unpleasant. Fingers crossed that I like the Hollister one when it arrives Tues. So I wore the dress with only the extremely minor changes of burgundy/plum/berry Clarks shoes and my beads. </p> <p>An outfit I didn’t get a picture of was the olive shorts from last week with the CiS loafers and this sweatshirt. Sweatshirts or sweaters + shorts is a thing that happens here, but halfway through the day I realized that feeling “cool” air (near 70) on my legs was not getting me in the fall mood, so the next day I pulled out the capris. Ahh. Much better. </p> <p>I feel like I’m cheating somehow, not in agony and therefore probably not getting as much out of the challenge as I could/should, but I really didn’t go out other than a teacher conference (they moved my boy up a math class, woot woot), to dinner with the neighbor, and to the mall looking for blush to buy. I came home empty handed, other than some ideas of what to get my son for Christmas. </p> <p>I might get him this shirt. <a href="https://www.express.com/clothing/men/reversible-crew-neck-sweater/pro/01775002/color/RED" rel="nofollow">https://www.express.com/clothi...../color/RED</a> It reverses to dark grey. He has a couple baseball color-blocked short-sleeved T-shirts from Hollister that he likes, so I thought this would go over well. I asked him about colors tonight. He says his favorite color to wear is “grey. Black if I’m feeling spicy. If I’m on acid (no, not an actual thing in his life), maybe beige”. And he wants wide-legged pants. Everything opposite how his Mama dressed him. </p> <p>ETA Bonus WIWs from before starting the challenge. I am really surprised that I’m liking/wearing the CiS shoes much more than the sandals in #4 that I expected to be my go-tos. That outfit looks entirely uninspired; I can’t figure out how to tie things together when temps are in the upper 80s and I’d rather not have to wear any clothes at all. The bracelet in it is new; I wear necklaces so often that I thought it’d be a nice change. </p> <p>Looking forward to comments/suggestions </p>
