I love the last dress the most, lovely print and fits you perfectly. I also like the other dress and the blazer outfits are great too. Nice variety!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mix-of-old-and-new#post-2339562 Tue, 26 Sep 2023 00:57:08 +0000 Jaime 2339562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#9 is one of my favorites! So you might want to take my comments with a grain of salt . The last dress is stunning and your hair makes everything better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mix-of-old-and-new#post-2339530 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 20:07:44 +0000 Karie 2339530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Yes, Suz, those are the same Paige jeans. My all time favorites. I also have the Paige straight cut jeans from the same sale, but the flares fit a little bit better and they look more polished. </p> <p>Angie, yes that’s the blazer from the Boston gathering! I think that was back in 2014, so heading towards 10 years ago. Such happy memories! And Cosmo and Callie send virtual treats and puppy kisses to Sam and Jo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mix-of-old-and-new#post-2339491 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 15:42:56 +0000 Angie 2339491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm back! Doggie commotion downstairs averted...</p> <p>Those long floral Athleta shorts are the bomb! I vote KILLER piece and you've styled them really well. I vote fun and flattering too!</p> <p>#7 is KILLER. How fab to see you sport those 10 to 12 year old top pick items with panache! I recognize all of them. Just. So. Fun :)&nbsp;</p> <p>The Boston gathering blazer in #9 is gorgeous, and wonderfully memorable. It's a Summer blazer so I get that it felt off with a sweater under it. A creative remix, nonetheless!</p> <p>#8 and #10 are my next faves! That dress was made for you, and you blazer-up with the best of them.</p> <p>Looking super cute ALL ROUND, sweet <b>Karie</b>! Sam and Jo give tailwags and snuggles to Cosmo and Callie.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mix-of-old-and-new#post-2339490 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 15:31:45 +0000 Irina 2339490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!

And you're never looked better! Your hair is especially wonderful, and just fabulous with the pink streaks! I LOVE the way our pink bag matches them. KILLER combination :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll be back......doggies need me.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mix-of-old-and-new#post-2339483 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 14:19:39 +0000 Anonymous 2339483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape of your hair. &nbsp;Your outfits are all great on you. &nbsp;You wear dresses well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mix-of-old-and-new#post-2339481 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 14:14:14 +0000 Indigoprint 2339481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your MIL chose well for you! That dress fits you well as does the Lily Putzer. Looks Fab!<br /> I also really like # 6 you wear that yellow well.<br /> As Sisi mentioned you can wear a variety of colors really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mix-of-old-and-new#post-2339479 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 13:55:01 +0000 Sisi 2339479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forgot to say I like your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mix-of-old-and-new#post-2339478 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 13:48:59 +0000 Sisi 2339478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What beautiful outfits! It is interesting that you have both cool and warm colors in your wardrobe and you wear them all well. My favourites are the outfits that still say Summer (my favourite season): # 1, 3, 4&nbsp; (fantastic dress!), 6 and 10. I like a lot that long dress on you and how fun that&nbsp; the design of the sandals "matches" the neckline of the dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mix-of-old-and-new#post-2339456 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 10:35:31 +0000 Olive Green 2339456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a MIL with an eye, that #4 is a sophisticated look. #7 looks very well, maybe because the necklace puts the pop into it.&nbsp;<br />And I do love the floral culottes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mix-of-old-and-new#post-2339435 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 02:57:48 +0000 Suz 2339435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Karie</b>, first of all, I just love how your bob and bangs play with your fun hair colour and serious looking specs -- there's some fab juxtaposition going on there -- and this combo makes even the most classic items in your closet say "cool."&nbsp;</p> <p>Love outfit #1 -- bag works brilliantly with hair and the print of the Ripskirt is fun and fresh.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the floral culottes, too! I can see how they might not always be the easiest to style but they look really nice on you! Great colours.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4 is a departure in silhouette and mood but so nice on you! Very flattering.&nbsp;</p> <p>I adore 5 and 6, both. Great shapes on you and casual without being sloppy.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think those Paige bootcuts are the same ones I have? I got mine at NAS 2019. I still like them, too. The dark wash with the relatively light weight denim makes them versatile.&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually love #9 in the photo (you look SO great in the cream/ ivory tones!!!) but I hear what you are saying, too. Better in the pic than in person. I'll bet you like faded jeans with that jacket partly because lower contrast (which suits your own contrast levels) and partly because the faded denim would feel less dressy and offer more juxtaposition.&nbsp;</p> <p>As for # 10 -- that is just killer on you and wow, you wear it SO well!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mix-of-old-and-new#post-2339420 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 01:11:46 +0000 Zaeobi 2339420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how your tops &amp; toppers have interesting details to elevate them - like the blouson sleeves on that gorgeous aqua blue in #3, the drape of your blazer in #7 &amp; the lacy arm panels (is it lace?) on your #9 jacket. </p> <p>I can see those cream blazer outfits with lighter wash jeans instead - do you wear them? </p> <p>The dress in #9 works great with your hair - both the pink streak &amp; the white! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mix-of-old-and-new#post-2339413 Mon, 25 Sep 2023 00:11:34 +0000 Karie 2339413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do a fair amount of hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing, etc., so a significant portion of my wardrobe is gear. Lately I’ve been trying to wear the nicer clothes that just seem to be hanging around in my closet. I’m retired so there’s no dressing up for work anymore, but there’s plenty of getaways, lunches out, church, events, that call for me to ditch the sweatpants and look nice! </p> <p>This is some of what I’ve been wearing in August and September:</p> <p>#1 is all new this summer except the sandals. Rip skirt, J Crew top, Kate Spade purse. I wore this to my great niece’s first birthday party in NJ. </p> <p>#2, #3 Those Athleta pants are from last year and I’ve found them to be a bit hard to style and not always the most flattering, but I like them regardless. These were worn on a trip to the Finger Lakes wineries.</p> <p>#4 is from a catalog company that my MIL likes to buy my gifts from. It’s called Northstyle and I’ve actually found their clothes to be well made.</p> <p>#5 New J Crew Factory top, pants are from last year. I broke my ankle and needed some wide leg pants, I found these at Old Navy.</p> <p>#6 My favorite J Crew summer pants! I could wear these every day.</p> <p>#7,8,9 Old blazers, BCBG and J Crew. The capris are me made. The jeans are Paige, an Angie recommendation from a quite few years back during the Nordstrom sale. I still love them! They have really stood the test of time. </p> <p>To me, #9 was an outfit semi-fail! I love the jeans, love the blazer, don’t love the sweater or the jeans with the blazer, but I’m not sure why. I think it’s the sweater. I always wear a lightweight blouse with the blazer, and the sweater just feels wrong. Also, I much prefer my distressed jeans, rather than these dressier jeans, with this blazer.</p> <p>#10 Here it is again! My absolute favorite dress of the season. Fits like someone sewed it just for me! It’s Lilly Pulitzer, purchased at a local boutique. We have some really nice boutiques here in Saratoga Springs, NY. I wore this to a surprise 87th birthday party for my MIL.</p> <p>Time to start dressing for fall! </p>
