I enjoy this. Lol.</p> <p>And lol to the Preppy Handbook! What, no turtleneck with little whales on it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-mistakes-3-fast-fashion#post-1827671 Sat, 22 Jul 2017 04:45:45 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1827671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Rachylou</b>, in my mind, "preppy" will probably be always be associated with the huge fad decades ago that brought me plaid chino shorts and a shirt with an alligator on it, and my sister a ridiculously bright pink and green striped polo, along with other pink and green horrors. I read a description of preppy earlier today; every time I thought I recognized myself, a pink and green goblin leapt out and chased me away. </p> <p>Task oriented? What? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-mistakes-3-fast-fashion#post-1827357 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 19:40:31 +0000 rachylou 1827357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking you're kinda preppy - which in my mind is slightly different from classic. More academic, more rugged. You eat cucumber sandwiches without crusts in Classic. You garden and walk to the library in Preppy. I see v-neck sleeveless (not tanks) with these tops, for a polished yet unprecious look. Not white, tho, because that would be boring.</p> <p>Your threads are fun! I'm task-oriented. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-mistakes-3-fast-fashion#post-1827338 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 19:17:12 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1827338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz. Good point about my preference for fun and colour. Less than 24 hrs later, I can see that I wasn't on target when I said that "classic" is my style. Maybe I was thinking of "conventional". That's something I'd like to ease out of. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-mistakes-3-fast-fashion#post-1827337 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 19:16:46 +0000 Anonymous 1827337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-mistakes-3-fast-fashion#post-1827333 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 19:07:38 +0000 Suz 1827333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like casual bottoms for hot days and fit with your preference for fun and colour. Fast fashion may not be good for a steady diet but it has its uses.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-favorite-mistakes-3-fast-fashion#post-1827307 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 18:14:36 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1827307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try to avoid fast fashion. It's bad for the environment, often comes with more human rights abuses, and the fit, work, and materials are likely to be poor. But I just stooped to these two items. I can see myself running around here in them. </p> <p>What do you think?</p> <p>Update: there were actually three items, because I tried the skirt in two colors. Both are flat, color-wise, and the fabric is oddly stiff so instead of having a flattering yoke, the skirts' second tier kind of sticks out.<br /> I'm not sure about the shorts yet. Right now they're Booty shorts, but if I meet my body shaping goal in 19 days, my smaller tummy may let them settle lower on my frame, and they'll be keepers.<br /> I don't buy fast fashion often: the few times I have, I've worn it forever. </p>
