You look amazing in all the outfits! I love how your style is developing and you look so comfortable in everything you're wearing. LOVE it! I think you rock skirts and love your casual weekend outfits as well. If you're having to cobble together outfits, you're nailing them! Thanks so much for posting!</p> <p>My favorites are the farmers market outfit, the great retro dress and cardi and the blue top and white skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-65097 Tue, 12 May 2009 05:05:41 +0000 Angie 65097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's our pleasure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-65096 Tue, 12 May 2009 05:01:45 +0000 Alecia 65096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm overwhelmed by the positive response. Thanks everyone. I think I've noted another key difference. As of late, I actually have fun thinking about new looks instead of feeling like it is a chore. Again, I credit you ladies for that.</p> <p>Angie, thank you again for creating such an amazing site. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-65041 Mon, 11 May 2009 22:48:16 +0000 marianne 65041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alecia, I don't really have anything to add to what Kyle said, but I just wanted to tell you that you look wonderful, and I also enjoyed watching the evolution of your style. And another vote to keep the blouse! I really like that outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-65035 Mon, 11 May 2009 21:47:46 +0000 Chris 65035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are your farmer's market outfit and the work outfit with red top layered under print cardi - both are so great! </p> <p>The dress with lavendar cardi is nice too - could be a good "date night" outift?</p> <p>Scoop neck on your top didn't seem too low but maybe it slides throughout day? I have a few tops like that. Constantly adjusting them is not fun. </p> <p>Looks like you are Spring ready too me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-65020 Mon, 11 May 2009 18:29:58 +0000 Ellen 65020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, Alecia! I especially liked the last skirt and top combo - very soft and flattering. </p> <p>The first top looks quite flattering as well - what's the problem with it? Do you have to constantly adjust it? I know that for me sometimes the issue with scoop necks is that I flash too much cleavage when I bend over, but a close-fitting cami has helped with that problem.</p> <p>Love your graphic green dress! Very fun and fashionable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-65000 Mon, 11 May 2009 17:12:32 +0000 Vani 65000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking wonderful Alecia! I really like the necklace with the second outfit and the skinnies look great on you. Can't wait to see you in more outfits with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-64999 Mon, 11 May 2009 17:06:42 +0000 medusa 64999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alecia - I think your outfits look great! Very polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-64997 Mon, 11 May 2009 17:04:08 +0000 Anonymous 64997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have gained polish in your outfits. Every one was impressive to me. I love the hat in the first picture, and the necklace in the second. What great statement pieces.<br /> Every outfit is beautiful. I love the way you are wearing the skinny black belt.<br /> When I think back on the beginning when you were posting suits that you were having trouble with, WOW, you've come a long way. Do people at work notice the change, by chance? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-64968 Mon, 11 May 2009 15:30:19 +0000 Angie 64968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh! I love the hat! So fab. Wear one every day. What’s the challenge with the top? I think it has great potential. </p> <p>Wonderful farmers market outfit. Sweet necklace. </p> <p>Cute skinnies outfit! Hi Lucy :0)</p> <p>Work dress outfit: KILLER. You look beautiful! Work skirt outfit: Superb. You look SO great in skirts and frocks. I like to see you wear them. </p> <p>Smashing last outfit too. Sort of retro with a twist. You wear that look very well. </p> <p>Alecia, your style is evolving at a rate of knots. Have you noticed a difference? You look FABULOUS! Well done. You just got the next YLF award for embracing your style to the best of your ability – especially after it wasn’t so long ago that you were terribly frustrated with your suits. You are put together and pack the necessary punch in every outfit. I am much impressed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-64927 Mon, 11 May 2009 11:11:30 +0000 yublocka 64927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alecia you really were rocking the skirts this week! I like both the a-line and pencil shape on you. The abstract green print one is just amazing!!! I really love your mustard vest, skirt and boots outfit too!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-64838 Sun, 10 May 2009 22:11:09 +0000 shana 64838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alecia, I think you had a terrific week - I definitely see the style evolution that Kyle is talking about! I am seeing more fun elements and loads more color! That first top is so pretty - the color is great &#38; it seems to fit you really well. What don't you like about it? I also really like the abstract print dress with the lavender cardigan. I don't think the white shirt if frumpy - I like how you have layered it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-64788 Sun, 10 May 2009 16:55:21 +0000 Elika 64788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love how you manage to have a totally different look every day. Great variation, and especially the work outfits are very fab. </p> <p>My favorites are the green dress (what a statement piece) and the last outfit. Those light colours of the last outfit look fantastic on you! Also very spring-appropriate. </p> <p>This inspires me to go try something new tomorrow too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-64778 Sun, 10 May 2009 16:13:30 +0000 Alecia 64778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, thank you so much for commenting. It means a lot to me as 1) I love your style (I miss seeing your outfits) and 2) because I think you have been an influence in this shift. A while back you mentioned that you think I dress older than my age, which I agree with. I had thought that for a long time but had not been able to move into action to change it. That kind of kicked me in the butt and got me moving. </p> <p>With the help of the forum, I think I'm getting to a place that both reflects my style preferences which are really kind of influenced by the 20s and 60s and more current fashion trends. I'll probably never be really trendy but I'm feeling much more "now" these days. The forum has also given me the courage to try things that I wouldn't have felt comfortable doing in the past. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-64720 Sun, 10 May 2009 01:19:15 +0000 Kyle 64720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alicia:<br /> Something has changed about your style and I love it. More color, for sure.<br /> The green tank under the khaki jacket is really fun.<br /> The dress with lavender cardi is gorgeous.<br /> I love the way you have belted the cardi and vest outfits with the thin black belt. Lovely touch. And you look terrific in that soft yellow. Love it with the grey. Don't think the top is frumpy, especially the way you have styled it.<br /> The white skirt and soft blue top may be my favorite. So feminine and extremely flattering.<br /> Thanks for posting. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-64685 Sat, 09 May 2009 21:34:11 +0000 Anonymous 64685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites were the work outfits ... the gorgeous dress, the pencil skirt outfit, and the last picture. The ruffle detail on the neckline was especially nice as were your nude heels that make your legs so long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-64681 Sat, 09 May 2009 20:57:34 +0000 taylor 64681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alicia,</p> <p>You look so pulled together in everything. I love your work wardrobe. That green abstract dress is awsome, and the last outfit..blue sweater and cream skirt looks great on you as well.</p> <p>I don't think the blouse looks frumpy at all. You look like a pro at this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cobbling-together-spring-outfits-with-winter-clothes#post-64657 Sat, 09 May 2009 15:24:43 +0000 Alecia 64657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't had a chance to get my warm weather clothes out of storage yet. That, along with the extremely variable weather, has been kind of a challenge.</p> <p>Weekend Casual -<br /> <a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/may/100_9266.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....0_9266.jpg</a></p> <p>I know knit bottoms are usually frowned upon but I like the ease of this skirt. I struggle with the top, though. I think I'm getting rid of it. It's given me trouble one too many times.</p> <p><a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/may/100_9268.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....0_9268.jpg</a></p> <p>This is a so-so (IMO) farmer's market outfit. I need new jeans for flats but other things have taken priority. I'm thinking I may need to move it up soon as it is beginning to frustrate me.</p> <p><a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/may/100_9272.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....0_9272.jpg</a></p> <p>Skinnies for the first time out in public. This was for a bbq in our backyard. </p> <p>Work<br /> <a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/may/100_9269.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....0_9269.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/may/100_9270.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....0_9270.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/may/100_9282.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....0_9282.jpg</a><br /> The blouse in this picture is also being considered for the give-away/swap pile. It always looks so frumpy, I think.</p> <p><a href="http://i508.photobucket.com/albums/s330/sasisierra7/ylf09/may/100_9271.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i508.photobucket.com/al.....0_9271.jpg</a><br /> You've seen this top before. I think it may work better with a skirt than with pants, but I'm not sure.</p> <p>Hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far. </p>
