I really love the citron belt.</p> <p>Gigi, I like the Gap perfect tees. I have three and they are pretty much the only basic tee that I buy. They are 100% cotton and I like the vee isn't too deep. They are straight cut down the sides and fit true to size for Gap, so order whatever your usual size tends to be. I'm a 6 and buy tees in a small, if that helps.</p> <p>Manny, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1544464 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 02:59:58 +0000 Maneera 1544464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Dee. #1&amp;6 are my favourites. Love the polished yet casual vibe of your outfits this summer..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1544453 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 02:45:20 +0000 Gigi 1544453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've really been enjoying your WIWs! Numbers 3 and 5 are my favorites from this round. No. 3 is polished but laid back at the same time, and I love all the little details in no. 5.</p> <p>How do you like the Gap t-shirt? I was thinking of trying one. How do they run for sizing? Are they designed to be a loose fit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1544429 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 02:00:35 +0000 Anonymous 1544429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I like #2 best -- it's just a bit bolder. I think I'm swayed by the shoes and cool belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1544417 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 01:40:13 +0000 Dee 1544417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Donnat and Rachy!</p> <p>Suz, you're spot on that 6 is most consistent with my style. I just can't figure out how to get there on a regualr basis. I have a harder time finding the right pieces in the summer.</p> <p>Joy, boho is the other shadow style that comes out in summer for me too. And seconded on the natural fibers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1544245 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 18:36:15 +0000 rachylou 1544245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Consistently cute! I really love the last one... it seems cozy but cool... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1544228 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 18:17:48 +0000 Anonymous 1544228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 1, 5 and 6.&nbsp; My summer wardrobe is more colorful than other seasons and has more natural fibers, but I don't think it looks preppy.&nbsp; Hmmm, I'll have to pay more attention.&nbsp; I suspect that mine (summer) looks more boho and it has lots more pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1544222 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 18:06:15 +0000 Suz 1544222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable (and as if someone really tall is taking your pics!!) ;)</p> <p>I like all of these but especially #6, which seems more compatible with your F/W style while still adapted to the heat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1544203 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 16:53:27 +0000 donnat 1544203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite too. I just love you in that shade of blue. The scarf looks great, not at all seasonally confused. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1544192 Sun, 23 Aug 2015 16:23:21 +0000 Dee 1544192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ankita, LavenderMoon, Jenn and Donna! Outfit 6 was my favorite and felt the most "me" of the bunch, so I'm happy others liked it. I just need to figure out how to make the rest of my summer wardrobe closer to that!</p> <p>Isabel, that expression is my long-suffering one to my DH, who is lovely and takes outfits photos for me, but with a lot of "smile harder" and "don't look like a crazy person" commentary that I try to keep a straight face through. :)</p> <p>Eva, thank you! I think you do a really good job of keeping to your style year round. Obviously there's variation across the seasons, but you always seem consistent to me! But agreed that summer is the hardest season to dress for.</p> <p>Angie, thank you! The pattern matching was unintentional that day but noted for the future.</p> <p>Cheryle, thanks! I see the metallic shoes becoming a fall workhorse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1543826 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 22:28:16 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1543826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite but they are all really nice. &nbsp;That bag is really cute and versatile and the metallic shoes in #5 add the perfect touch.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1543811 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 21:51:18 +0000 Angie 1543811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 is FABULOUS. Great pattern mixing with the scarf and bag.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1543788 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 21:01:26 +0000 E 1543788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so great in waist surrendering looks! And to my eye none of these outfits read super preppy, if you're looking for reassurance. I really love that scarf on you; the fabric is fine enough that it doesn't look seasonally confused to me. </p> <p>I definitely feel like my summer look is a bit different than fall/winter, but since I lived in Texas for a few years, I spent a lot of mental energy figuring out how to translate my favourite style aspects into suitable hot weather looks. So these days I still feel like myself during the summer; it was a struggle though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1543777 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 20:46:23 +0000 MTBGirl 1543777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #6 are my favorites. You look so fab in #6! That must be my favorite of yours yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1543763 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 19:37:27 +0000 Anonymous 1543763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're all good but 6 is my favorite, the combination of the bag with the scarf is really good.</p> <p>I love your expression in 5. So sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1543758 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 18:56:55 +0000 Jenn 1543758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm especially fond of #5 and #6, I don't find 6 seasonally confused at all. That gauzy scarf is great for summer, and I do love the skulls! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1543753 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 18:37:05 +0000 Anonymous 1543753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the way fab and put together!&nbsp; Extra style points for look #6!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1543736 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 17:54:29 +0000 Ankita 1543736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Dee... #6 would have to be my favorite...you look smashing! ☺ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-on-wiws-1#post-1543731 Sat, 22 Aug 2015 17:50:16 +0000 Dee 1543731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last few weeks have been crazy so I haven't been super active around the forum lately, but I've been managing to snap a few photos at least. I've also been coming to terms that my summer style is inherently preppier than my winter style. Mostly due to my choice of natural fabrics and more wovens in my wardrobe to handle the heat. Any one else have feel this way in the summer? </p> <p>All comments and suggestions welcome!</p> <p>1) Worn on a particularly cool (for summer) day. This shirt doesn't come out often but it great for transitional weather.<br /> EF top, Gap jeans, Report shoes</p> <p>2) Worn out to happy hour. This dress was a recent purchase that I'm hoping will transition well into fall with leggings and boots.<br /> Everlane dress, Miz Mooz sandals</p> <p>3) Work outfit. I felt very northeast preppy in this, like I should be visiting Cape Cod, which isn't my style goal at all but was nice in the heat.<br /> Loft top and crops, Coach shoes</p> <p>4) Another slightly preppy work outfit. I keep trying to make this skirt work because I like the print, but dresses are much easier for me because I'm short-waisted. How are the proportions here?<br /> Gap tee, Loft skirt, Coach shoes, Kate Spade necklace</p> <p>5) Worn to a casual networking event after work.<br /> Zara top, Gap jeans, Seychelles sandals</p> <p>6) Seasonally confused. It was a little cooler but instead of grabbing a topper, or even a shirt with sleeves, I went with this oversized scarf. But I did like this outfit.<br /> Everlane too, Aritzia pants, Softspots shoes </p>
