Finally gave up and made it into a blouse.....</p> <p>Let's see what else, ok yes I can try the turquoise skirt again with better ideas now...will try to find a citron scarf with no flowers</p> <p>Didn't you think the black skinnies were too skinny for work...felt a bit silly that day....</p> <p>gimme more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-summer-analysis#post-669329 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 18:51:39 +0000 Kiwichik 669329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Meredith love all the Oh Yeahs &amp; a couple of the oh nos - turquoise skirt with grey top - change the shoes to either the green or the ones on the last oh yeah photo plus either a colourful scarf or fab turquoise necklace &amp; voila.</p> <p>Also like the black skinnies &amp; coral jacket - fab as they are.</p> <p>Like the blue skirt with black jacket &amp; shoes but not that scarf hmmm I could keep going as all your oh nos just need some minor tweaks to be oh yeahs or even oh yeah baby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-summer-analysis#post-669305 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 18:15:18 +0000 jayne 669305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meredith, I know that a couple of the 'oh no' ones are actually more borderline or me too. I just cannot see to pinpoint what makes me feel less than fab in them, like the turquoise skirt with grey sweater. I have packed that skirt away hoping for inspiration later.</p> <p>Claire, you are so fun! Ralph Lauren...but I can see it now...I love RL and have been trying to figure out what makes his style. It isn't preppy or western but something in between?. What is the Karen outfit?</p> <p>Krista, oh yes,, I so agree about waist flattery. I cannot seem to let it go. SO maybe I need to stop trying slouchy things at the waist. food for thought. The skirt length is something I am actively working on...after having too short ones for so long . Thanks for noticing as it confirms my own thoughts</p> <p>Manidipa...clever analysis...too much of one thing is what I don't like...you are onto something. M rubic actually is feminine versus masculine (plus more) so that must what is bothering me about the pink and turquoise skirt picture....it is too feminine even though it has structure in the jacket. jsut too many girl colors. and the version with the grey sweater is not structured enough. Hmmm, may have to try that skirt with a grey jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-summer-analysis#post-669298 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 18:08:25 +0000 JulieJohn 669298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great way to track, cause you will learn elements of your personal style for the future, not just what goes with what in your closet right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-summer-analysis#post-669295 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 18:07:01 +0000 ManidipaM 669295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is genius! I wish I had your patience and organization, Jayne!</p> <p>FWIW, I loved the blue dress WIWs and the blue-green skirt with the grey sweater out of your Oh nos! That said, I think the ones working best use a small bit of structure to balance a flowing fabric or fuller silhouette. You're not as happy in slouch on volume or volume on volume, or an excess of close-fitted and tailored pieces, I think. Apart from the blue dress, that's what's standing out to me in the 'Oh no' series --- they're either soft on soft, or fitted on fitted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-summer-analysis#post-669294 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 18:03:58 +0000 Krista 669294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a super cool way of tracking the outfits that you liked and didn't like - thanks for suggesting it! </p> <p>One trend I noticed in your "Oh Yeah!" photos is that several of the outfits have a defined waist - either by belt or close-fitting jacket. Also, a lot of the skirts end right at the curve of the knee, which shows great legs. Great outfits, too!</p> <p>Not sure if you noticed those things, but that's what I saw.</p> <p>My first post on the forum, btw. Hope it was helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-summer-analysis#post-669280 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 17:56:20 +0000 Anonymous 669280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is great Jayne! You need to start a blog. I love your pictures, SO many fab ones. The navy blazer over the chiffon dress is genius. You are amazing in white and animal prints. Chunky necklaces are your friend and you look like a Ralph Lauren model on a yacht or something with your damp hair, white jeans and yellow shirt. So fresh and lovely! The Karen outfit is incredible too! *sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-summer-analysis#post-669274 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 17:47:19 +0000 Meredith1953 669274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the Oh yeahs but I also at least 2 of the Oh Nos that I also liked. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fun-with-summer-analysis#post-669269 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 17:43:43 +0000 jayne 669269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am such a nerd that I paste my photos into ppt and then group by love/hate</p> <p>so here are the results for summer</p> <p>see any trends I should notice? and learn from...</p> <p>he he, some of the "oh no" i cannot believe I wore..shaking head sadly here </p>
