I like all the dresses and especially no 2. The outfit in no 4 is gorgeous - you look beautiful and chic.<br /> Hope you are well soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927882 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 13:31:42 +0000 krishnidoux 1927882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First dress is my favorite on you, despite the color question.&nbsp;<br />I absolutely love your "twin set" pants outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927878 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 13:07:43 +0000 Suz 1927878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, I hope you are starting to feel better. No one would ever guess you are under the weather from these photos!&nbsp;</p> <p>Second, I am so jealous! I love yellow, love it! (Many rooms in my house are various shades of yellow and mustard.) But yellow does not love me as it seems to love you, or at any rate, I have't found the yellow that does.&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually like all of these on you, but agree with Angie that the colour of #2 in particular is just sublime. The shape of dress 1 is fabulous on you also. And your WIW is beautiful -- fresh, spring-like, just lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927866 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 12:43:35 +0000 lyn67 1927866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Get well soon! To answer to your question, depends on what for. Love nr 1 and 3 for work, nr 2 for a romantic walk, you get the idea:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927846 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 11:33:23 +0000 Chris987 1927846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH<b> staysfit</b>, I had to laugh when you said you want the color of one dress, the fit of another, the style of a third, and a fabric different from any of them, and that would be the perfect dress. You know exactly what you want but will you hold out for it or go with “good enough”?. That's always the question with shopping, isn’t it, but at least you will know perfection if and when you see it . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927845 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 11:24:29 +0000 unfrumped 1927845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are 1 &amp; 4 also.<br /> The yellow in 1 is darker, so it may be that it’s not the perfect yellow, but the print works well with it and with your coloring and contrast. Plus the style.<br /> The light very slightly greeny yellow in the EF items is really pretty on you band look like they would mix &amp; match well with blues, grays, denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927843 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 11:17:49 +0000 Bijou 1927843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in yellow and these are very pretty dresses. My favourite was #1 - the print is lovely and the style perfect on you. I also really like the twinset effect of your top and scarf.<br />Hope you have a speedy recovery, I would not have noticed the fact that your clothes were unironed, as you look lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927832 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 10:07:31 +0000 Staysfit 1927832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m going to return number two. I am still thinking about number 1 and number 3. I am not sure either one is exactly what I want. I kind of want a solid dress like number 3, the color of number two, and more in the style of number 1! If I could find that, with a good neckline, and made of a natural fiber, I would be satisfied. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927817 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 08:34:25 +0000 Toban 1927817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 1 and 4. You look great in yellow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927816 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 08:23:36 +0000 Gigi 1927816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fave is no. 3.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like outfit no. 4...especially the scarf. Yellow and purple is one of my favorite color combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927767 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 02:39:31 +0000 Staysfit 1927767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw a yellow slip dress made by Frame denim that I have considered, but I am worried the yellow is too saturated. Has anyone seen it in person, or any other yellow dresses that might work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927763 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 02:27:53 +0000 Staysfit 1927763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course while I was replying, there were more posts that crossed paths, so now I want to respond again :-)</p> <p>Runcarla, Seriously, I had no idea about yellow trending when my craving for yellow started. Look at what I wrote in my response above about purchasing yellow flowers! LOL! (Plus the landscaper had his mason work on my flower beds because they were waiting for a permit on another job and he accidentally pulled out my Black Eyed Susan’s thinking they were weeds......). Yellow makes me think of my DD, who just became engaged June 1st. Her bedroom, which sits empty unless she is visiting, is yellow. I need to redecorate the room to make it more appropriate as a guest bedroom. When DD was little she wanted me to change her name to “Dandelion Daisy”. Our last name would form amazing alliteration with that, and it made everyone smile. Wearing yellow helps carry some of these happy memories. It brings much joy, especially the recollection of Dandelion Daisy days.</p> <p>CJH, Thanks! I just had my hair cut two days ago so it’s looking neat at the moment. I am so happy with my natural hair color. When I go back and look at old pictures and see myself with hair coloring I wonder what I was thinking?!</p> <p>I keep getting interrupted, so my responses are going to be condensed for now. I will try to come back again tomorrow. </p> <p>I instantly loved the third dress. The color is a perfect fit with my palette. I tried it on before my surgery and thought it would be good for work, and it could be dressed up or down enough to work in most of the settings of my life except the most formal. It’s also an easy shape to wear. Very comfortable. I like solids because they are so easy to accessorize. However, it may be a bit large once all the swelling goes away. I had it in my pile of clothes for the tailor. Any shorter and I would reject it. I like where it hits when I sit, but am not entirely sure it’s flattering with my second and third appraisals, and I had second thoughts. There was a similar dress in periwinkle with sleeves, but the hemline was too short.</p> <p>The first dress is a much warmer and more saturated yellow, but I still think it’s a lighter yellow than the shade of yellow Angie might wear. I love the colors in the print. I can wear my turquoise glasses, or my red glasses because both coordinate well with the print. It seems to fit well in my closet even though the yellow is not an exact match with my color swatches. This is where personal taste, judgement, and emotion come into play. Not everything in my life can be about a perfect match to my palette right. Sometimes a dress just reaches out and shouts a subliminal message and it brings joy. In this case, I’m hearing Dadelion Daisy —— but is this really the right dress or can I find something better? </p> <p>The second dress is my favorite color. It also sits exactly on my color palette, as do the Eileen Fisher items in the WIW. It’s a lighter, cooler toned yellow. It’s a hard yellow to find in a dress. It’s hard to find at all...<br /> .so I seem to grab it anytime I see something I might consider wearing. I don’t love the ruffles, the linen, or the fit of the dress. I will return it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927748 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 01:48:21 +0000 Angie 1927748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the silhouette of #1 best, but the colour of #2 is gorgeous on your skin tone.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927746 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 01:25:16 +0000 Staysfit 1927746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the well wishes everyone! I truly appreciate your supportive words while I am dragging along unable to exercise or follow my usual routines.</p> <p>The Cat, my mom thinks yellow is my most flattering color. I looked back at my grade school pictures and she chose yellow for every one! I chose my clothes for my High school senior picture. No yellow! I wore a color very similar to my current glasses, probably turquoise. </p> <p>BJ1111, Thanks for the complement! It’s good that others cannot easily tell I’m not feeling well. I don’t want my problems or pain to distract my patients from being able to talk to me about their difficulties. </p> <p>Chris987, there was a time when I wore a lot of mustard yellow. The third dress color is called Sienna Yellow, and it looks like Dijon Mustard to me. I like the color. It’s not a bright lemon or corn color, and it’s not a hot dog mustard yellow either. If you order from websites the color you see with yellow seems to be more distorted than other colors I have ordered. Something can look like it will be a light buttermilk color and turn out to be bright golden yellow with an orange glow. I have rejected a lot of very orange looking dresses and tops. I think the yellows that are potentially the best for me are lighter, veering towards green- like citron, and light lemon, and a Dijon mustard color. Perhaps I buy some yellow flowers for my landscape and feel satisfied without any of the dresses?!</p> <p>Sal, I don’t really have any special occasions coming up other than my 30th wedding anniversary and I have a dress picked for that if it will fit given my swollen belly! I can easily dress down the first dress and make it work appropriate by wearing it over jeans and adding either a leather jacket, a cardigan or a Jean jacket. The 2nd dress is definitely casual sundress, and it’s made of linen. I could never wear it to work as is because it has a cutout in the back that breaks the student dress code in our building. It’s a wrap style like the first, but it has a button fastening at the waist instead of a tie which makes it less adjustable. The linen dress doesn’t really have sleeves, it has ruffles that act like cap sleeves. I’m not sure I like all the ruffles. </p> <p>Becky, the pants are from James Perse, the color was called Pewter. It looks like a dark bluish grey with some silver sheen because they are a silk blend material. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927745 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 01:23:43 +0000 Column 1927745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh, #1 is spectacular on you! I love the saturated tones of all the colors with your skin—but especially the yellow!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927716 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 23:53:00 +0000 Carla 1927716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well this is crazy! I just came to YLF to post about yellow trending and your post was at the top of the list! </p> <p>Last week while reading about trends at the Chelsea Flower Show, a return to the colour YELLOW was reported as a trend in gardening and expected to spred to retail (flower shops) and home furnishings! Then, today, I read In 'The Vivienne Files' and her Paris observations - that yellow outfits seemed to be trending there. </p> <p>Dresses #1 and #3 are lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927713 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 23:47:54 +0000 cjh 1927713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great new options! I love 1 and 3, as others have said. And the top and scarf look lovely, cool and airy. If passing on any, I would choose 2 as it is a bit too much lemon chiffon for my taste. Oh, also loving your hair currently! The cut and color are so fresh looking and naturally “you.” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927711 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 23:46:22 +0000 JAileen 1927711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 3 best. 3 really looks like you. 2 reminds me a little of a bathrobe.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927710 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 23:45:20 +0000 SarahD8 1927710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving your modern-pseudo-twinset look today! Best wishes for your continued recovery.</p> <p>I like all of the dresses, but I think #1 is my favorite. It has a boldness (slightly brighter color than the others, and more colors in the print) that I think suits you. #2 would be fun with that off-black leather moto (can't remember if you ended up keeping it). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927703 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 23:31:39 +0000 Mainelady 1927703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the yellow! Numbers 1 and 3 are my favorites on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927699 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 23:12:32 +0000 jussie 1927699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow. I love numbers 1 and 3, and your wiw with the blue pants. I think number 2 is fine aswell, just not as stunning. Hmm maybe I’m craving yellow too.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927696 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 23:07:55 +0000 3style 1927696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #3. Great neckline and color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927692 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 22:58:18 +0000 Becky 1927692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like dresses #1 and 3 the best. Your outfit in #4 is very nice. Are the pants purple? I can't tell. I love purple and yellow together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927687 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 22:50:58 +0000 Sal 1927687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best wishes for a straight forward recovery.</p> <p>I like all the dresses on you but my gut reactions were 1 and 3.&nbsp; 1 is a lovely dress for a special occasion or a summer dinner or lunch whereas 3 would also work for these occasions but could also be a work dress.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>2 also suits you well and it could be even more casual - but I am not sure about the sleeves or where the waist tie is (I would prefer it lower).</p> <p>I really like your WIW today look too.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927686 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 22:50:32 +0000 Bonnie 1927686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All great dresses and I like #3 the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927683 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 22:43:03 +0000 TylerAnne 1927683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the third dress on you, but I'm not sure it is a matter of color. It has a simplicity of shape and crispness that seem to work well with your hairstyle and overall look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927677 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 22:39:15 +0000 Chris987 1927677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too have been craving yellow, although my preference is for more of a mustard color. On the other hand&nbsp;I'm realizing that I like to look at it more than I like to wear it so I'm taking a deep breath before doing any more shopping.&nbsp;... </p> <p>I like #4 maybe the best just at a gut reaction. The pants, top, and scarf are just perfect together in both silhouette and color. It looks like it's supposed to be a little rumpled! Good that you are taking it easy while you heal. </p> <p>The three dresses are good, and very different styles, how much wear do you think each will get? The lemon yellow looks great on you but I but I bet you&nbsp;could go more toward mustard too if you were inclined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/craving-yellow-but-which-if-any-plus-a-wiw#post-1927676 Mon, 11 Jun 2018 22:37:10 +0000 bj1111 1927676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the flower dress!!! The shift is probably #2.</p> <p>Sorry to hear about your surgery. FWIW, you look completely recovered. </p>
