And I agree with others --- that is a super flattering jacket. I don't know if you're 'slender' in real life, but I can tell you that you do look positively, admirably (enviably, for me!) svelte from here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617892 Sat, 12 May 2012 01:19:23 +0000 K. Period. 617892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awwww, thanks everyone for the lovely compliments! </p> <p>@cinnamonfern, that is so sweet of you! I love the jacket and you know what? I totally utterly love that you liked it enough to check it out at the Nordstrom website too. It was one of those purchases where I was walking through looking for something else and it was just so lovely that I had to get it. Looking at the picture at Nordstrom.com, I never would have thought it would fit like it did. Since I bought it, I've seen it on two different women, both different body types, and it looked great on them too. I think it is one of those fab pieces that fits great on practically everyone. </p> <p>@christieanne, thanks! The hair? That's because my hair person is magic. Seriously. I don't even mess with the magic. I just tell her to do what she does. Since meeting her, I feel like I have shampoo commercial hair. Now if only I could figure out a way to shellac down that new growth halo! </p> <p>@Angie, I'm blushing! Killer!?! I feel even more fabulous. Thanks for creating such an amazing place for women to share their love of fashion, high and low, and all of the joys and frustrations that go along with that. </p> <p>Everyone, thanks so much! I loved how bright and cheerful this outfit felt. It just felt so perfect on this beautiful, sunny day in Portland. I'm happy it resonated with everyone else too. Yeah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617847 Sat, 12 May 2012 00:36:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 617847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic first WIW post! Everything fits you so beautifully here and the colour mix is so fresh and pretty for spring. Good for you for asking about the hemming. Looking forward to see more of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617834 Sat, 12 May 2012 00:22:46 +0000 Angie 617834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so nice to meet you, k can shop! Great to see you post! </p> <p>You look smashing in that white jacket. My word it's KILLER. And the colours of this outfit are so fresh and pretty. Love your hair :)</p> <p>(And thanks for your awfully touching blog post comment today). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617802 Fri, 11 May 2012 23:44:24 +0000 christieanne 617802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific all around! I didn't know jcrew did alterations - will remember that one.<br /> Love the white blazer and floral top with a bright blue capri - it's just an outfit that brings a smile. I also really like your haircut! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617785 Fri, 11 May 2012 23:20:30 +0000 Midwest Girl 617785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, and I love that jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617784 Fri, 11 May 2012 23:14:05 +0000 cinnamon fern 617784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!

Period. 617772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Sarah, the blouse was a real surprise for me. One of those impulsive ON buys that are possible because it is soooo inexpensive. I'm not normally a floral type of girl, but this was abstract enough to slip by. I too love how punchy and fun the colors are. </p> <p>@Anna, my next post will defs be my mint green slouchy chinos, just for you. ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617766 Fri, 11 May 2012 22:33:15 +0000 annagybe 617766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617763 Fri, 11 May 2012 22:24:59 +0000 Beth Ann 617763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a vibrant and crisp combination! Love the colors and, as others have mentioned, the fit of the jacket is very flattering. This is a marvleous first WIW! I encourage you to keep posting -- it gets easier if you do it often, at least to start with. I've gotten a lot of good feedback from others on the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617746 Fri, 11 May 2012 21:53:26 +0000 sarah 617746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your first WIW! You look fabulously spring-y. I love the colors and that blouse it so pretty. And way to try something new! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617736 Fri, 11 May 2012 21:36:47 +0000 Anonymous 617736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit.

Period. 617732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the love! The jacket must fit very well, because IRL I am truly a woman without a waist! I'll call that money well spent. It certainly emphasizes what a well cut jacket can do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617731 Fri, 11 May 2012 21:32:48 +0000 rae 617731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not slender? Pish posh! Look at that waist!</p> <p>I love all the summery colors here. Cool, breezy, fun. And high five for asking the SAs to hem for you! I'd never even heard of that before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617730 Fri, 11 May 2012 21:32:39 +0000 kellygirl 617730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute. Love the cheeky blazer too. You look super duper fab. Good for you for climbing out on that limb : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617727 Fri, 11 May 2012 21:30:13 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 617727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket fits you very well and your waist is so small. Very nicely done.</p> <p>I look forward to seeing more of your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-holding-breath#post-617719 Fri, 11 May 2012 21:19:59 +0000 K. Period. 617719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stepped out on a (fashion) limb a little today, so I thought why not take another little step....</p> <p>The big leap was that I never considered wearing heels with capris. One of those "oh, that looks so cute on others, but I could never do that!" things. I'd been dying to pair my taupe heels with a bright blue, though. I looked for a dress forever and finally gave up, then these capris came into my life. And I have to say, to JCrew's credit, the gals there did not even bat an eye when I asked them to hem the capris to the length I wanted. Also a brave moment for me because I'm not slender. That doesn't really bother me IRL, but somehow letting it all hang out here takes a little bravery for me! That's my own hangup, though. </p> <p>White linen blazer--Nordstrom/Gibson (washable!)<br /> ON tank<br /> JCrew bright capris, hemmed to what I hope is the right length!<br /> Taupe chunky heeled pumps, so old that I'm not even sure I can read the label anymore. </p>
