I hope you are back to 100% soon. I always enjoy your WIWs and I agree with others, white has been a workhorse color for you this summer! Also I think you are right on trend with Angie's post this morning which had lots of boxy toppers with skirts. #2 is spot on!

You so have your look down. There is a similarity of cut and style but enough variation to keep things interesting. I have a few pencil skirts that I want to try an use this winter. Your styling is great., I will try some of your ideas. I am sorry you have been sick. I love the aqua chair.

I've missed your great outfits and posts. The first outfit with its back/ white pattern mixing is really fun, but my favorite is the colorful dress in 3/4. Wow! Every outfit looks great on you and your workouts show in those beautiful toned arms.

PIl, yes!  I was officially a Cherif Girl on Facebook before the lunch was even over!  So I can check that item off the bucket list!  ;) And guess what?  I found a new camera angle that incorporates The Aqua Leather Chair of Fabness!  (Although Mr. Lamp and I are going to have to have a talk about photobombing...)

I especially adore #1 with its black - white graphic boldness but they all look great (even the frolicking at home one). I hope you are feeling better now and recover from the surgery very soon! lyn* on "Catching up: WIW the last week in August and a week later" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-wiw-the-last-week-in-august-and-a-week-later#post-1024653 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 00:03:55 +0000 lyn* 1024653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Feel better soon, MaryK!!!

Missed you like crazy. And no wonder. The evidence of these outfits shows me why. You look exceptionally fresh (despite the heat) in 1 and 2. Love the pattern mix in 1 and the juxtaposition of pretty blouse with the tough sandals in 2.  As for the trainer pics -- those boys should be so lucky as to enjoy a luncheon with gorgeous you!  pil on "Catching up: WIW the last week in August and a week later" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-wiw-the-last-week-in-august-and-a-week-later#post-1024644 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 23:44:06 +0000 pil 1024644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Have you seen yourself on Cherif's facebook yet? You sure look better in 6 even while recuperating than I do on a schelpping around the house day. Love all your outfit details and particularly the sleeves on your dress. Hope you're up to snuff ASAP. I'm going to miss your aqua chair!

The Escada top is gorgeous, in fact you look super in all these outfits, at home included. Your legs are so trim and I envy your kneecaps. (Yes, strange but true. It's amazing the features we can find fault with isn't it?) MsMary on "Catching up: WIW the last week in August and a week later" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/catching-up-wiw-the-last-week-in-august-and-a-week-later#post-1024523 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:56:08 +0000 MsMary 1024523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOL, Denise!  They're both professional trainers!  Cherif is a soccer coach and Roland is a personal trainer!  So all three of us came to lunch in our business attire!  (Oh, and I walked away with a "Cherif Soccer" t-shirt!)

White pencil skirt:  Halogen Polka dot silk blouse:  J Crew via eBay Argyle cardigan: Target via hand-me-down White satchel:  Banana Republic T-strap pumps:  T.U.K. 2.  8/27:  SUPER hot day, forewent the "third piece" and just tried to survive the heat.  This blouse is from my first YLF swap and I continue to love and adore it.  I wear it backwards to give it a nice asymmetrical hem. Silk blouse:  DVF via swap Black cotton pencil skirt:  Halogen Black sandal booties:  Payless I love these sandal booties and wore them to pieces the last two summers, but this summer I haven't reached for them as much for some reason. 3/4.  8/28:  I discovered that two of my friends were also old friends with each other, so the three of us had lunch together on Wednesday.  The guy in the middle, Cherif, travels all over the world and is always posting photos of himself with beautiful women on Facebook, and I wanted to look cute for my shot at being a "Cherif Girl!"  :)  The guy on the right is the owner of my beloved gym and teacher of the killer boot camp classes. Pink/purple knit dress:  Veronica M White blazer:  NY&Co. White belt:  thrifted White pumps:  Jessica Simpson Purple satchel:  Dooney & Bourke Note I rearranged the furniture in the Bachelorette Pad the night before.  It's a big improvement but I do miss the lovely aqua chair in my WIW photos!  ;) 5.  8/29:  I felt like this looked better in person than in the photo, because all the fabrics were beautifully lightweight for summer despite the darker colors.  Skirt and blazer are cotton, blouse is silk. Red pencil skirt:  Halogen Silk print top:  Escada via consignment Black blazer:  Halogen Colorblock tote:  Vince Camuto Black pumps:  Madden Girl 6.  And then I disappeared from the face of the earth and haven't been seen since!  LOL  This is what I'm wearing today, which is about as "dressed" as I've been! Thanks for looking and for any comments you care to share!  I have been reading even though I haven't had much energy to comment!  Hope to be back posting at full speed soon!
