What a great outfit for a wedding or a dress up Friday or a birthday! I love your toes, too.<br /> I hope this week is off to a good start and that this year brings us some positive events - I think we could all use some! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520/page/2#post-2126423 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 21:21:51 +0000 texstyle 2126423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday to you lisap!&nbsp; I hope this week is starting off better. It has been difficult for everyone in so many different ways. We "escaped" the reality of things this weekend and went to a nearby very small town for some outdoor time. Nature is very calming. Your outfit looks great and I'm sure you will find the right thing to do career wise soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520/page/2#post-2126075 Mon, 08 Jun 2020 18:44:00 +0000 Laurie 2126075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>'61 - a most excellent year to be born.<br />This is a fab outfit.<br />Your hair looks great.<br />Hang in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520/page/2#post-2125979 Mon, 08 Jun 2020 01:26:07 +0000 Roxanna 2125979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy happy birthday Lisa! I absolutely adore these culottes on you. I also love fluid culottes because they flow and look like a midi - it’s the stiffer culottes I cant bear on me. And that cardi is delish - just so you, a basic with a sophisticated edge.</p> <p>Birthdays during this time are so hard and they really do force you to reflect. I have my 44th coming up this year and I’m wondering how my forties seem to be speeding by so fast!! The world these days, as well as some losses in the family, have me reflecting on how quickly time is passing and how to hold on to it more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520/page/2#post-2125967 Sun, 07 Jun 2020 22:51:59 +0000 Anonymous 2125967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am right there with you Jaime , and some personal sacrifices are simply the cost of living in this new world . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125832 Sun, 07 Jun 2020 03:31:16 +0000 Jaime 2125832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday! The culottes look fantastic on you, and, as I have mentioned probably too many times, I love you with red hair. Do understand your feelings about work (mine has dried up) and the world at large. What a year. But I am hopeful that 2020 will represent a break from the selfish cycles of the last few decades and return to a more socially aware, community oriented society. At least among the young. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125797 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 22:48:54 +0000 Anonymous 2125797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy belated birthday.

I like the styling in 3 best, the long cardi seems in opposition to the jauntiness of<br /> the bottoms! I hear you about feeling out of sorts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125789 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 22:04:08 +0000 Style Fan 2125789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, you always seem to be so well put together.&nbsp; Everything works.&nbsp; You are such a talented woman.</p> <p>This is such a difficult time in so many different ways.

You look amazing despite everything going on - that is no small feat! I like your different stripes and fun summer bag. I giggled at your comment about Guess - I just went through all footwear in my holding zone and discovered a pair of Guess boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125733 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 15:39:57 +0000 Anonymous 2125733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks , all! &nbsp;It is &nbsp;rough time for most people, that I do know, don't worry ;)</p> <p>What I am doing with any outfit beyond my shorts/tee uniform is to <b>assess it against my 4 part style-avatar "guide". </b>&nbsp;I want to do this as sort of an editing process - but with goal in mind other than "do I like this and do I still wear it". &nbsp;The individual pieces here pass the muster for my <b>casual work look</b> criteria (and the culottes could fudge their way into the &nbsp;<b>dressy work capsule </b>when worn with, say, a silk tank and a blazer). &nbsp;The knotted tank and cardigan &nbsp;can move down/across to the <b>urban athlete collection and also into the boho summer casua</b>l group with different support pieces. &nbsp;The bag is just a fun thing I didn't pay for, but am loving using nonetheless. &nbsp;I am waffling about the sandals, to be honest. &nbsp;They are comfortable, in good condition, but I am not drawn to them as much this year as I was last summer. &nbsp;But economic realities mean that they are staying in my closet for now. &nbsp;Ideally, I'd have found a square toed mule or sandal to wear this summer, but I found nothing at any price point I could afford. &nbsp;Dodged that bullet &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125726 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 15:13:09 +0000 Janet 2125726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG Belated happy birthday!</p> <p>You look fantastic. I love those culottes. IKWYM about certain labels, but I also give credit where it’s due, and when a brand like Guess makes a good item, I don’t judge for taking advantage of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125722 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 15:08:58 +0000 Christina F. 2125722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday! I’m sorry it’s not the best time right now. I’m sure many of us feel the same for variety of reasons, but it’s valid!</p> <p>You look great!

You look fab with the new hair colour.</p> <p>Unfortunately all gobal economy has been affected by the Covid-19 and these are challenging times for everyone, one way or the other. </p> <p>Yesterday I read a poem that was both inspirational and comforting, I pasted here below.</p> <p>"What if 2020 isn’t cancelled?⁣<br /> What if 2020 is the year we’ve been waiting for?⁣<br /> A year so uncomfortable, so painful, so scary, so raw — that it finally forces us to grow.⁣<br /> A year that screams so loud, finally awakening us from our ignorant slumber.⁣<br /> A year we finally accept the need for change.⁣<br /> Declare change. Work for change. Become the change. A year we finally band together, instead of⁣<br /> pushing each other further apart.⁣<br /> ⁣<br /> 2020 isn’t cancelled, but rather⁣<br /> the most important year of them all.”⁣</p> <p>Author: Leslie Dwight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125652 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 04:10:45 +0000 Suz 2125652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit, <b>Lisa</b>! The culottes are gorgeous on you. I can just imagine the floaty texture. I really love the idea of floaty pinstripes -- there's great juxtaposition right there. And with the cardigan, the top, the fun textured bag and the sandals -- it's just plain terrific.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sorry you had a rough day. The later 50s are no picnic at any time and how much worse to have a birthday in a week like this. PHEW. But contemplation is not such a bad thing. Really really glad for you that at least Winnipeg is doing well in this awful pandemic and may next week be brighter for you and for everyone.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125648 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 02:36:47 +0000 Brooklyn 2125648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous Lisa! Great mix of patterns and textures and true to your style preferences.</p> <p>And happy belated birthday! I think things will pick up soon. I think lots of people are anxious to get back to the gym in particular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125643 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 01:33:21 +0000 anne 2125643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look really good Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125641 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 01:12:41 +0000 NancyW 2125641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A belated happy birthday. Are any birthdays beyond 21 not a time for reflection My late father would call<br /> you a ‘sharp’ dresser: all the details covered and the overall effect is confidence and power. He might also remind us on a bad day: onward and upward. Take good care of yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125639 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 01:07:02 +0000 CarolS 2125639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Lisa -- why be so hard on yourself? You look fabulous! (And happy birthday!) It doesn't matter what the label is -- it matters that it looks great on you, And it does! Echoing Angie, this look is killer -- sophisticated, but not unapproachable. Dressy and casual in the same breath because it just feels <i>easy.</i>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125635 Sat, 06 Jun 2020 00:33:35 +0000 Bijou 2125635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hear that your work has been impacted by the crisis, I admire how you have picked yourself up with this beautiful outfit. I would see you at a wedding and think that you look elegant and interesting, someone I would like to meet. Super cute bag and I love how you tell us your matching perfume and lipstick. Wishing you a happy birthday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125624 Fri, 05 Jun 2020 23:37:30 +0000 Anonymous 2125624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, thank you so much Angie. You know just the right things to say at the right time &nbsp;Yes, my hair is back to red. &nbsp;I couldn't get the right shade of blonde, and despite a couple of toning sessions back at the salon, it wasn't working . I think as I get older, the colour of my hair against my skin becomes ever more noticeable and thus important. &nbsp;My hair needs to be quite a warm shade now, full stop.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125616 Fri, 05 Jun 2020 22:55:33 +0000 Synne 2125616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy belated birthday!

You look ready to take the world!<br />I'm going back to work next week ( retail too ). Not sure if my work will be as fun as it could be, or if it will last.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125612 Fri, 05 Jun 2020 22:40:44 +0000 kellygirl 2125612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look nothing short of fabulous. I love the culottes and your commentary is so funny. I feel the same way about Guess--we're definitely not the target market (at least anymore.) This is definitely a challenging time for many of us. Working like crazy or not working. It seems all or nothing!&nbsp; I just want to stick my head in the sand some days. Anyway, wishing you a happy birthday. You look gorgeous in your dressed up Friday!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dress-up-friday-wiw-6520#post-2125611 Fri, 05 Jun 2020 22:40:01 +0000 Irina 2125611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy belated birthday, Lisa. You look great - simple and so elegant.<br />Hard times for a lot of us. My son is looking for a job after spending more than a decade in schools. What future awaits him in this economy? I try to stay optimistic for him as he worries a lot. This is not what we envisioned when he enrolled in PhD program years ago. But we are all must carry on. Somehow. </p>
