Perfect for vacations! Thanks for your vote on the plaid shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618706 Sun, 13 May 2012 13:47:04 +0000 Meredith1953 618706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all great finds and the dress is perfect on you! I find myself thinking silver accents do look a little fresher to me than gold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618685 Sun, 13 May 2012 12:52:04 +0000 Anonymous 618685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the hat and the black dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618678 Sun, 13 May 2012 12:18:16 +0000 Suz 618678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun set of thrifting finds! The hat is perfect; SO adorable on you. And really practical, too. I think I know that kind of straw you mean, and if I'm right, it's basically crushable, so you can stuff it in a big tote if you don't want it on at some point. </p> <p>I'm one of the few who seems to like the plaid shirt. I think it has fun possibilities as a layering piece and works well with the sandals you've shown. I think the scale works fine for you. Obviously, it's all on whether you can make it fit to your standard and play well with the rest of the wardrobe. </p> <p>As for the dress, STUNNING! I like it with both gold and silver. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618625 Sun, 13 May 2012 05:29:19 +0000 fashionista 618625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>U look cute in that hat. How about wearing that hat with a beach wear, maxi dresses and flipflops.<br /> The plaid top is good but the checks are too big making you look fat. Can you find some tops like the one in smaller checks?<br /> And all the ladies have already complimented you on that black dress and same goes from me. You are looking absolutely gorgeous and sexy with some shoulder showing. You can wear some statement neckpiece with that LBD like the picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618622 Sun, 13 May 2012 04:42:18 +0000 Scarlet 618622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up to everything! I like the black dress with the silver accessories. I think it fits your style better better because it is more subtle, but gold looks good too, just a different vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618600 Sun, 13 May 2012 03:47:18 +0000 Anonymous 618600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think the paid overpowers you because the shirt isn't long or longsleeved. It looks good with the shoes you are wearing. You are so creative that I know you will find some great ways to wear this shirt. The plaid peeking out from inside your leather jacket next fall? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618591 Sun, 13 May 2012 03:21:41 +0000 AJ 618591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Joy - I think I only see 3 votes to keep the plaid shirt so far. Hubby hasn't seen the LBD yet. I look forward to surprising him! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618590 Sun, 13 May 2012 03:18:20 +0000 AJ 618590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Kiwichic - Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618589 Sun, 13 May 2012 03:18:03 +0000 Anonymous 618589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great haul! Love the hat on you and can see you having fun with the plaid shirt. The black dress is stunning, especially with your gold accessories. Your DH needs to take you out someplace special to wear that outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618588 Sun, 13 May 2012 03:17:26 +0000 AJ 618588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks GP, Amy, Makrame, Lisa, Sveta, Shevia, Jjsloane, Sona, and ManidipaM!</p> <p>@GP - Ooohhh, I like the 20's flapper reference to the hat! I will do some research and see if I can style a look to go with that!</p> <p>@Amy - Let's see your hat!</p> <p>@Makrame - Glad to hear that the dress is not too short.</p> <p>@Lisa - Yes, on the hanger, the open shoulder made me fear for my IT shoulders, but I was pleasantly surprised that it worked!</p> <p>@Sveta - Oh yes, the plaid shirt and fedora must have a play date!</p> <p>@Shevia - It's funny because I usually grab my silver accessories more than my gold, but when I looked at both stylings side by side, I do think the gold is a tad more flattering.</p> <p>@Jjsloane - Yes, magazines and their "next big thing" or "so right for now." I was telling my daughter (8 yrs) about the Instyle LBD suggestion and she said, "Oh, who cares about the magazines! It should be you first, then me, then Angie and lastly the magazines!" LOL! I loved her fashion hierarchy!!</p> <p>@Echo - Thanks for your bright accessories suggestion!</p> <p>@Sona - Definitely!</p> <p>@ManidipaM - Are the hat and LBD finishing off their late night partying with a sobering morning stroll on the boardwalk? : P </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618585 Sun, 13 May 2012 03:10:13 +0000 Kiwichik 618585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LBD is a keeper &amp; I prefer it with the gold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618534 Sun, 13 May 2012 01:42:00 +0000 ManidipaM 618534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That hat and that LBD need to meet up in the morning on the boardwalk!</p> <p>AJ, I hardly ever wear gold myself, I think silver suits me better. But wow, you do look great in gold! Wear what looks best on *you*, not the dress. Which... sigh!!! is gorgeous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618525 Sun, 13 May 2012 01:33:44 +0000 Sona 618525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>whoa. That LBD. great finds but man that LBD: must keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618521 Sun, 13 May 2012 01:31:17 +0000 Echo 618521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hat is adorable, and the LBD is absolutely a keeper! It is not at all too short or too anything - it is perfect! I find gold more flattering to your skin tone, but you really can't go wrong either way. You could even do brightly coloured accessories instead of metallics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618515 Sun, 13 May 2012 01:20:54 +0000 Jjsloane 618515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hat is adorable. The scale of the plaid is not too big for you (close, but not quite)<br /> That LBD is AMAZING on you. I like both, but personally prefer the gold (I think gold with black was their suggestion a month ago? something to keep us buying I assume) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618504 Sun, 13 May 2012 00:55:07 +0000 Jaime 618504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The LBD is the showstopper. I tend to like silver but not always and in this case I think I prefer it with the gold, but you look amazing either way. Great find! (Great hat too!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618474 Sat, 12 May 2012 23:44:02 +0000 Sveta 618474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding me? All your finds are terrific!<br /> You wear hats like nobody I know and this one is no exception. So adorable I can hardly stand it!<br /> This plaid shirt can be fun to style for a casual wear. How does it look with your fedora?<br /> LBD is spectacular on you, truly. What a find! I think I actually prefer gold with your skin tone but both versions are nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618464 Sat, 12 May 2012 23:30:02 +0000 Lisa 618464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great thrift finds! You wear hats really well. And the black dress, I adore this style on you, the open shoulders is super flattering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618462 Sat, 12 May 2012 23:24:27 +0000 Makrame 618462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That black dress is gorgeous! Does not seem too short or too anything, just perfect! I prefer silver accessories. I like the hat, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618461 Sat, 12 May 2012 23:23:54 +0000 Amy 618461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a hat very similar to that and love it in the summer. Keep!</p> <p>Not crazy about the top.</p> <p>The LBD looks uh-may-zing! Keep that too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618460 Sat, 12 May 2012 23:22:14 +0000 goldenpig 618460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, you look SO ADORABLE in that hat! It almost has a 20's flapper vibe. And I love the turquoise and pink you paired it with--perfect spring outfit! The plaid shirt I'm not feeling as much--I think it would look better with a smaller print. But the LBD? Vavoom! You must keep! Go on a date ASAP!!! I like the silver accessories better than the gold, but I generally prefer silver/platinum myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-3-items#post-618451 Sat, 12 May 2012 22:55:30 +0000 AJ 618451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thrifted items for your review:</p> <p>1-2) A while ago, I was watching a travel show and the host had on an adorable short brimmed, floppy hat made of straw. I have had my eye out for one and was pleased as punch that my favorite thrift store came through for me again! The straw is very soft and pliable, so I'm hoping that means better quality. Now, I must admit that thrifting a hat is not something I normally do, but I inspected it carefully and it looks like it was never worn. I left it out in the sun to zap any cooties and now the tags are off! SQUEE! </p> <p>3) There is something about this zippered shirt (brand: Fiorlini International) that has a boyish charm to it that I think will add some fun to my shorts and capris. Admittedly it is a little big, but for under $3, I can experiment a bit with my sewing machine. What I need to know: is the scale of the plaid too big for my shape?</p> <p>4) "Who IS this person?!!" That's what I asked myself when I tried on this little LBD (brand: MSK $6) in the dressing room. Not the infamous Bailey dress, but this tiered number makes me feel like a 10! However, since "sexy" is outside my usual style parameters, I need your discerning eyes. Is it too short/young/trampy? Honest opinions really needed here.</p> <p>5) I just read in June's Instyle "Gold accessories can come on a little strong for your LBD in summer, so opt for silver, a more fashion-forward metal." Which styling do you prefer, the gold or silver?</p> <p>I look forward to your suggestions/comments/warnings, LOL! </p>
