All of my winter coats are still in daily rotation here in NH. We just got several inches of snow last week, with more predicted in the coming days.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love that Liberty print, and it will look gorgeous with the blush leather jacket. It's nice to see lots of midi skirts with pockets this season -- so practical yet pretty too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905664 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 15:19:42 +0000 Anonymous 1905664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt is lovely, I don't have any wildcards yet. Yes, I absolutely would buy the same thing as a friend, I think it's kind of sweet, and yes on the returning to the store for sale price.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905655 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 14:47:15 +0000 Anonymous 1905655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very pretty print! The colours are really versatile. It’ll be fun to wear it for mother’s day Tea at the school! It WILL be warm enough by then, right? I sure hope so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905626 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 13:27:49 +0000 kerry 1905626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Barbara Diane, thanks! Sneakers sound fun. I think Spring/Summer is my season for wildcards - it seems easier to make them work. Always gorgeous to see the beautiful grounds at Augusta.</p> <p>Cardiff girl, thanks! I’m thinking slip-on sneakers, Toms and flat sandals could make this skirt work for casual wearings and the length makes it easy to sit on the floor/ground.</p> <p>JAileen, thanks! Augusta might be the prettiest golf course. Who are you rooting for?</p> <p>Pat_P, thanks! One of the reasons I kept looking at it online as I was hoping to find it on sale for my friend. When we bought it the store was having a promo but it didn’t include the Liberty print items. I know she was hoping to get a deal but it never came back in her size. I stumbled on it in store in my size and then got a further discount a week later. Felt like it was meant to be.</p> <p>Suz, that top is gorgeous! Isn’t the cotton lovely? It’ll be perfect for our hot, humid summers which feel like a distant memory right now! </p> <p>Carol, good for you! I like your philosophy. I’d like to try and do that mostly too but I need a few refreshers to keep the boredom at bay and some summer tops which rarely seem to go the distance.</p> <p>Cee, I feel as if I don’t have my spring clothes and shoes at the ready, I’ll miss the season all together! I didn’t think I’d have to wait this long though.</p> <p>efbgen, I always buy a few blooms for Easter to inject a little spring in our world even though it’s still cold outside. The hyacinth does smell gorgeous! Great job on the blazer and love that hubs participated too. He’s a keeper! </p> <p>Susie, I’d love to be on the golf course! Not likely around here until at least May. We’re still getting flurries too - ugh! Sounds like you take Angie’s advice and get your shopping done at the beginning of the season to get the best picks.</p> <p>Jussie, thanks for the validation! It’s a friend I only see about once a month so should be easy to avoid. For a wildcard, I like that I didn’t have to invest too much for the experiment but would’ve spent full price because it’s a cute skirt.</p> <p>If the weather cooperates, I’ll wear this skirt for Mother’s Day and for the Mother’s Day tea we do at school. Maybe heels and a leather jacket for those events. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905570 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 08:41:25 +0000 jussie 1905570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s lovely. I would wear this for sure. It’s fine to have the same skirt as a friend- just don’t wear it when you are going to be seeing her as you don’t want to be twinsies :). Also I think it’s fine to get it at he lower price. Absolutely. Look forward to seeing some outfit pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905520 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 01:14:27 +0000 Susie 1905520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our weather has been all over the place! Last Saturday we were on the golf course, today we had sleet and a brief snow flurry! It’s usually fully spring by now so most of my closest has already been switched out.</p> <p>That skirt is lovely; I can see why you couldn’t resist. I am bad at looking for reduced prices on things I’ve already bought but good for you for getting the extra savings!</p> <p>I’m almost finished shopping for spring with no real wildcards so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905517 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 00:56:40 +0000 Anonymous 1905517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kerry-<br /> Thank you for sharing your lovely flowers with us. Ahhhh-I can just smell that beautiful hyacinth- one of my favorites!<br /> Your skirt is so beautiful and I find myself mentally going through my wardrobe thinking it would go great with that and that and that- lol. What a fab score on your part. Great job.<br /> My wildcard was a light weight blazer that was on such a ridiculous clearance I should have paid the store- not- lol. I knew it would go with at least 2 summer dresses. Did the whole fashion show bit for hubby. By the time I was done we figured it could be worn with 3/4 of my closet. He was floored ( truth be told- so was I)<br /> None of my friends dress like me- I love my friends in spite of the fact that they fall into 2 distinct categories: they either hate fashion or don’t care about fashion—— that’s why I love my YLFfriends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905516 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 00:52:59 +0000 Cee 1905516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It takes a while for me to move into warm weather clothes after winter-spring, too and you folk up north have had a mutha of a cold season !</p> <p>I've had people stare and ask " aren't you hot ? " in November ( late spring in Australia ), but I do feel the cold a bit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905509 Sun, 08 Apr 2018 00:15:13 +0000 Carol 1905509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not adding much, I'm trying to work with what I have.&nbsp; I am replacing my brown sandals with some pewter ones from Payless.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.payless.com/womens-comfort-plus-swanky-embellished-wedge-sandal/78276.html?dwvar_78276_color=blackpatent#start=82&amp;cgid=women-sandals">http://www.payless.com/womens-.....r_78276_co</a></p> <p>Don't know if this link will show the black or pewter version.&nbsp; I'm excited to try a slightly more polished sandal this year.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905491 Sat, 07 Apr 2018 22:47:46 +0000 Suz 1905491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kerry,</b> I have the top to your skirt!! It's such a pretty print it was impossible to resist. It was sold out in my size so I sized up in petite and luckily it works.&nbsp;</p> <p>In answer to your questions, I haven't added much except this top to my spring closet, and it's not a wildcard. Oh, I did add the <b>Angie</b> Topshop dress. I'm not wearing either, and won't for a <b>LOOOONG</b> time at this rate! I'm getting ready to start shopping now soon, though. Need sandals, a few tops, not sure what else.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would buy an item a friend bought, sure! No reason why not.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I'd call for a price adjustment also! Since I rarely get to shop in-store, the going back thing would be rare for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905473 Sat, 07 Apr 2018 22:16:18 +0000 Pat_P 1905473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking at that skirt too. I loved the colors and that it had pockets. Sadly it sold out in my size. I bet it looks lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905460 Sat, 07 Apr 2018 21:25:07 +0000 JAileen 1905460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have the Masters on too. The azaleas look amazing there. Your skirt is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905458 Sat, 07 Apr 2018 21:19:07 +0000 Cardiff girl 1905458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a very pretty skirt Kerry.l m not surprised that you succumbed to its charms!I have done the same as you and bought a midi skirt even though it is a little dressy for my lifestyle.l am hoping to be able to wear it with boots and sandals so get more wear from it but I haven't worn it yet as it's still very cold here.Fingers crossed spring won't be long now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905457 Sat, 07 Apr 2018 21:18:10 +0000 Barbara Diane 1905457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We’re a few minutes behind on the golf. Now it’s raining. And blooms-the azaleas are absolutely stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905455 Sat, 07 Apr 2018 21:14:08 +0000 Barbara Diane 1905455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your spring blooms, live and on your new skirt.<br /> Anytime I think to complain about the weather where I am I think about all the YFLers in a climate I literally can’t imagine living in. :)<br /> The weather here keeps fooling us. Lots of heavy rain and now it is sunny but will probably cool off by the time I go outside later. Earlier last month I pulled out sandals and some of my spring/summer clothing as it hit high 70’s, then back to 40’s. Then mid to high 60’s, then pounding rain. My closet is crammed and I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of my summer clothes so I can figure out what I need while the items are still in stores.<br /> High top embroidered sneakers are an item I hope gets enough wears. Definitely a wild card, but I’ve been wanting a pair since they first showed up on YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dreaming-of-spring#post-1905445 Sat, 07 Apr 2018 20:29:44 +0000 kerry 1905445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, where I live, here on April 7th, I’m still wearing a puffer! I know many of you feel my pain.</p> <p>I’ve had my spring wardrobe out and sorted since our March break. But, except for a few springy but still warm items, I’m still wearing what I wore all of winter.</p> <p>I’m trying to be careful with my clothing budget this year. A year a half ago, I explored setting a budget based on average wears. I didn’t succeed but it was a great exercise in practising how much I really need. It often takes me several tries of a new habit to make it stick - I’m hoping this is the year.</p> <p>I’m focused on buying for the life I lead and not too much. Of course, I still want to have a little fun with fashion, so to that end I bought a floral midi skirt that is a little dressy for my everyday. I first picked it out for a friend when we were shopping for her. I came back to it online several times. I liked that the base was blue. I liked the colours in the floral. I liked that it was cotton and had pockets. I thought the length might lend itself to casual wearings too.</p> <p>It didn’t hurt that I got it on sale and then returned today to get a further 30% off.</p> <p>It feels like a bit of a wildcard but I thought hard about how I could wear it. I’m hoping to get 10 wears this year.</p> <p>What wildcards have you added to your spring wardrobe this year? And are you lucky enough to be wearing them yet?</p> <p>Would you buy the same clothing item that a friend bought?</p> <p>And would you return to store for a price adjustment?</p> <p>While I sit here watching the Masters, blooms at my elbow, I hope that the weather outside will cooperate soon! </p>
