I could picture the sun on the flowers, the crowding in the car, etc.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heat-wave-begins#post-2123532 Tue, 26 May 2020 22:27:24 +0000 avicennia 2123532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the pleated skirt is lovely. But it does seem to me that a bit too much is going in the last photo — green in the skirt, purple top, dark denim jacket and red shoes. Do you have another pair of sandals, maybe a skin tone or neutral color? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heat-wave-begins#post-2123359 Tue, 26 May 2020 02:45:44 +0000 Jaime 2123359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is great and I like it with the jacket. Beautiful earrings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heat-wave-begins#post-2123350 Tue, 26 May 2020 01:17:58 +0000 Angie 2123350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are rocking that pleated skirt! I echo what <b>Kelly</b> said <b>Slim Cat</b> said too. Nice earrings! They work well with the pattern of the skirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heat-wave-begins#post-2123333 Mon, 25 May 2020 23:54:43 +0000 Anonymous 2123333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt looks like such a good idea. I have one Frim the Rack last year I am hoping to wear. So far we do not have hot days. Today the high might get above 60F. But I am wearing a cotton sweater over a cotton knit tank and felt comfortable in the sun without a coat. Yesterday’s high was in the 50’sF but quickly dropped into the 40sF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heat-wave-begins#post-2123325 Mon, 25 May 2020 22:57:10 +0000 MsMaven 2123325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Duh slim cat! I should have known immediately that these are not for rain! We do have people in our neighborhood who walk in the sun equipped with an umbrella.&nbsp;</p> <p>Kelly, it's now 95° here and it's going to get warmer. I went out to water and move some potted plants out of the sun.I've been waiting weeks to wear this skirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heat-wave-begins#post-2123322 Mon, 25 May 2020 22:21:03 +0000 kellygirl 2123322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks cool and composed to me. Agreeing that the jacket ties everything together but it look great without too. The skirt is like a neutral. Hard to believe how warm it got all of a sudden. It was already almost 70 when I went running at 8! Ugh. Not looking forward to the next few days. Stay cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heat-wave-begins#post-2123321 Mon, 25 May 2020 21:44:34 +0000 rachylou 2123321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What slim cat said :)</p> <p>Yeah it’s hot today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heat-wave-begins#post-2123319 Mon, 25 May 2020 21:08:21 +0000 slim cat 2123319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@MsMaven - that umbrella is pure parasol: it works as sun protection or as fancy accessory but it's not intended for rain . It's rather just a pretty thing to have for some special event. I think it's more popular in Asia for weddings and such.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heat-wave-begins#post-2123316 Mon, 25 May 2020 20:45:35 +0000 MsMaven 2123316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point on adding structure, slim cat. Great umbrella! Tempting, except that it's unlikely to rain again before October.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heat-wave-begins#post-2123315 Mon, 25 May 2020 20:34:21 +0000 slim cat 2123315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the outfit works with dark denim jacket ( it reads black on my screen ) - it adds structure and ties all the elements together.<br />The earrings are great - I love that combo of black with gold/silver and some sparkle. Vey nice outfit for the hot weather in Bay Area! <br />I'm wearing skirt as well today ( too hot for denim shorts ) and even got out the parasol for fun ( it was a present for my daughter that she found a bit too much sparkly ).<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/Honeystore-Parasol-Folding-Sunshade-Umbrella/dp/B01IXZ13SG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=MMBMXP7ITZKJ&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=parasol%2Bumbrella&amp;qid=1590438715&amp;refinements=p_89%3AHoneystore&amp;rnid=2528832011&amp;sprefix=parasol%2Caps%2C591&amp;sr=8-3&amp;th=1">https://www.amazon.com/Honeyst....._3?crid=MM</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/heat-wave-begins#post-2123311 Mon, 25 May 2020 19:34:23 +0000 MsMaven 2123311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our all-too-frequent Memorial Day heat wave is back. I started out with white jeans and this tank and went out to do some watering. Came back in and exchanged jeans for last year's BR skirt. Much more comfortable.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is an odd color, not quite blue and not quite purple. It's one of 3 I bought from Lands End. I usually wear the skirt with a red, black, or white top. Still cool in the house so put on this BR denim jacket--I think it's from 2 years ago. And my red Clarks, which still aren't too comfy to walk in, but okay for sitting. Skirt isn't as long as it looks in photo, it's 10" from floor.&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't worn these DY earrings lately and I don't think I've shown them here. They were a present from a couple of years ago--they are a bit heavy. I use the larger backs on them. Today I'm wondering if I should exchange them. I should twirl them and see which way the stripes look best.&nbsp;</p> <p>When I was a little girl today was called Decoration Day. My mom would spend the morning cutting peonies, daisies, and lilacs from our yard and then make big bouquets and we'd all pile in the car and head for the cemetery, picking up Grandma on the way. Now everyone is so spread out and far apart--I'm sad this tradition no longer exists in my family.&nbsp;</p> <p>What do you think of this color combination? </p>
