(See exhibit A in finds below for 2023, and exhibit B for summer 2022.) &nbsp;&nbsp;<i>Nothing&nbsp;</i>in my closet (all in Finds) stands out like these two! :-)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423/page/2#post-2330958 Mon, 17 Jul 2023 23:47:43 +0000 LJP 2330958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally - you’ve hit on something valuable with your wildcard colour comment . We can have wildcard pieces , and maybe sometimes the colour is what makes them that . I can see how this colour could be that one styling tool that shakes up a relatively sedate closet ( mine ) . </p> <p>bj - let’s just say I bought these “jeans “ strictly for their bottom half ( cropped raw hem flare ) . They are a pull- on style from Tribal .

I've started coming round to blue being more workable for Autumn coloring than I had thought.

Really fresh flattering colour in summer. Nicely styled too.</p> <p>I have a few wildcard colours in my closet and I am fighting the urge to edit them out. I own them and like them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330683 Sun, 16 Jul 2023 04:51:53 +0000 Jaime 2330683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look with special admiration for the hair, jewelry and bag.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330629 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 21:05:47 +0000 Dee 2330629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a pretty blue shirt dress but I’m partial to all things blue, looks fresh and summery and those silver slides with your coordinating bag look great too.<br />It might not be your usual colour palette but I think its fun to change things up once in awhile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330579 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 15:16:30 +0000 LJP 2330579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off - I must explain that the ladies who lunch / country club look is not something distasteful . It’s very chic and timeless . But , I feel like a pretender in clothes like that and feel that someone will laugh at me for trying to achieve something I’m not. It’s that old fear from teenage-hood …..you know ? That’s also not my lifestyle and doesn’t feel genuine . </p> <p>Thanks for the comments on my hair - it was cut a week ago and I did the colour myself . The cut is quite a bit shorter than I had planned for and I’m not sure it’s super flattering but ….it’s just hair and will grow . It sure is easier to wash and style though . I do love the redder colour and already want to freshen it - it fades so quickly . </p> <p>Carla - the swim suit cover up is a great idea actually . I just might do that ! </p> <p>As to dyeing it - I’m not going to do that to this dress . I really like the colour - which is why I bought it , lol. The thought of dyeing things makes me uncomfortable- I’m no Brooklyn , that’s for sure </p> <p>Maybe it ends up being worn only a few times a season and that’s ok . I think I will wear it as a dress today with sneakers …I’m headed to a farmers’ market shortly ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330565 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 13:32:38 +0000 quietloud 2330565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! The silhouette with the shirtdress over pants is fabulous, and I am in love with the jewelry! I think the blue suits you and the combo with white and silver is fab, but I can relate to the color palette issue. I've realized that I have a few months of the year when I am drawn to color, usually from late winter to early spring (February-April approximately), and if I do any shopping during that time I end up with pieces in random colors that I rarely wear! My first thought when you said you were unhappy with the color of the shirt is to see if you could have it dyed, like a few other commenters suggested.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330550 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 11:53:09 +0000 The Cat 2330550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stylish outfit. Great colour combo. The blue is very summer-ish and a stunning contrast to your hair colour. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330548 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 11:39:19 +0000 Olive Green 2330548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can certainly wear that blue, but agree that a more dramatic contrast would be a bit better. Navy or inky blue. <br />This is pretty much my summer formula. Blousy big man shirt and light pants or capris.&nbsp;<br />If you find a shirt in ‘our’ palette, please post!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330537 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 07:59:31 +0000 Star (Lise) 2330537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see modern and relaxed, yet polished at the same time.&nbsp; &nbsp;You successfully avoided the Country Club Ladies look.&nbsp; &nbsp;Looks close to what you are after.&nbsp; The blue may well work with any olives and/or chestnuts you have.&nbsp; Sometimes cools and warms work unexpectedly well together.&nbsp; Anyway it looks good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330531 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 05:19:51 +0000 lyn67 2330531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress with the pants-feels artsy/edgy-to me anyway-as I couldn't make work this pairing for me-it always feel like a costume, and too much clothes on me-but I adore the look on others! I think is a great summery pallete&nbsp; indeed-and suits you fab! (?? why always wearing only the same of yours--a girl has to change up things form time to time-isn't it?). But, you can always wear the dress with bare lags and a neutral to you shoes, that will end up more subtle for your coloring,perhaps. But wow, love the jewelery-these are great pieces! YLF as always, Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330515 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 03:19:00 +0000 Bijou 2330515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great look, I could see the dress being easily dyed, I would put a dark green over it to turn it teal, but I really love it as is. This would look cute with black cropped jeans to give a 90’s vibe, I love pale blue and black as a combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330511 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 03:06:02 +0000 Suz 2330511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this palette, of course, so I am biased. But I honestly think the blue suits you. if it feels too "ladies who lunch," then why not dye the shirtdress? I'll bet you could make it black in a second.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330507 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 02:55:20 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2330507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fantastic outfit. I love how you've relaxed everything to go in the opposite direction of "country club" style. This dress over wider-leg jeans is a winning silhouette on you. Wearing the Olukais in honor of your friend and carrying a matching bag worked beautifully. I think you could bring this outfit more into your own palette by simply switching out the shoes and bag to tan, cognac, olive, . . . something warmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330504 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 02:42:26 +0000 slim cat 2330504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love light blue ( totally my color, or almost ) and all the extra - looks amazing on you! No suggestions - but I'm sure you'll come up with your own fab looks during summer time.&nbsp;<br />I find light blue refreshing next to the slightly tanned ( or not at all ) skin - makes everything brighter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330497 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 02:13:37 +0000 Ms. Liz 2330497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit! &nbsp;Well that blue shirt dress is my colour and is in my preferred palette but it looks great on you and how you styled it. &nbsp;I really like the jewellery and the choice of bag and shoes. &nbsp;It reads “ effortless” to me- which is what I strive for and have difficulty pulling off. &nbsp;Well done. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330496 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 02:09:25 +0000 cjh 2330496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That outfit looks great on you, and fun accessories in metallics, though I can see these are colors you aren’t in love with. Light blue is nice on you - fairly neutral, and I can really see this layered up for cooler weather with your darker tones in olive and black, or ivory and chestnut brown. A long olive vest (gilet?) over the shirt dress, with darker pants underneath. If I remember right, you do have things that would fill this vision. An olive cargo style or quilted jacket? Chestnut wider cropped jeans?</p> <div><br /></div><div>Maybe your linen blazer? And dark pants?</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ladies-who-lunch-wiw-71423#post-2330489 Sat, 15 Jul 2023 00:52:39 +0000 kellygirl 2330489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, so fresh!

I’ve been buying items in this color once in a while and my new COS linen dress is similar shade. Sometimes I like to toughen it up with black shoes and a black bag.&nbsp; </p>
