You do indeed look fab.  Regarding your dress length question -- it doesn't look too short in the photo.  I'm wondering where the length is when you sit down?  I often find that if I'm on the fence about something being too short, it's the sitting length that helps me decide.   Ledonna N. on "My First Time." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-time-1#post-1252404 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:24:58 +0000 Ledonna N. 1252404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Welcome to YLF,  you look really good my favorite is the second pic.  Very cohesive Eliza on "My First Time." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-time-1#post-1252330 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:37:09 +0000 Eliza 1252330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Welcome, Tricia.  You do indeed look fab.  Love the white jeans and sweater, as well as the perfect photo bomber in your happy red shoes shot.  Your smile says it all.  Deborah on "My First Time." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-time-1#post-1252308 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:11:57 +0000 Deborah 1252308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you are a friend of Sarah's then I have no doubt you are one special lady. Welcome and you look fab! Your white jeans outfit is gorgeous. Modern and current and very flattering. And your dress is not too short. You have great legs and no need to hide them. Hope we see more of your outfits. Look forward to getting to know you better leopardluxe on "My First Time." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-time-1#post-1252266 Thu, 15 May 2014 10:22:21 +0000 leopardluxe 1252266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Welcome! Both outfits look really great on you. I'm especially loving outfit #2. The contrast of the striped dress with the red shoes and belt with the neutral sweater looks fantastic and SO figure flattering! The length looks absolutely appropriate. You really rock the whole look head to toe!

I love both outfits equally. They illustrate different aspects to your style beautifully. You look great with both fluid and more structured looks and definitely show off those legs!

Pants are great. Good suggestions re: if you want to add structure on top but it's great as-is. You look relaxed and put- together. I'll buck the trend and say I would target slightly longer dresses/ skirts as I think the proportions look better. That is not the same as whether one is" allowed" to wear a certain length. I say that all the time when others say oh it's not too short, so you can take that FWIW and decide what lengths look right to your eye, for your style. . I would love to see you in a wrap style, which I can hardly ever wear due to lack of real estate. Love the shoes and they make me think I should try Fidjis!

Congratulations on your first WIW. I remember how nervous I was to post my first. It gets easier! I like the amount of slouch in the sweater and white jeans; they do not look too baggy. So nice with the sandals (that's some nice hiking footwear--ha)! I like Aida's idea of trying a semi-tuck with the sweater sometime, too, for another option. Love the dress outfit with the red belt and shoes. No, the dress is not too short for you, in my opinion; it looks perfectly appropriate. I bet the sandals would be great with that dress, too. Hi to adorable grandson! Oh, and thank you, SarahtheWhite, for sharing YLF with tricia! jackiec on "My First Time." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-time-1#post-1252101 Thu, 15 May 2014 02:50:40 +0000 jackiec 1252101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay on your first WIW - it gets easier ;) You look fantastic!

You look great in both outfits and really seem to be able to pull off a fun mix of retro and modern. I actually just ordered the striped dress in green to try, but I'm really wishing the gray had been in stock in my size, because I think I like that version better. deb on "My First Time." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-time-1#post-1252096 Thu, 15 May 2014 02:41:25 +0000 deb 1252096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yea, pictures.

Tricia has been one of my closest friends for lots of years and now she lives in another state... So this is another way we have of being connected. She is also the only real life friend that I have shared this site with.

I've been there before: being hesitant about posting WIW's! Your outfits are fabulous, particularly #2 due to the red shoes, which add a pop of surprise to a a very neutral outfit! I look forward to more WIW's! You will find, as you may already see, that this is a very supportive community in honing your personal style! I've also met some of these ladies in person and they're simply wonderful! Enjoy!

You look fab in both outfits. I have been loving all the outfits with white jeans that I've been seeing on the forum lately, and your is one of my fav combos: jeans, cotton sweater, sandals. Perfect!

I love both. Way to go on posting a WIW, it is a little nerve-wracking isn't it? I hope we see more.

I am too working up the courage and time to post a couple of pics so I know how you feel.

Your first photos are awesome! I love white jeans and yours look so nice with the pretty sweater. I think the dress length is totally fine...and I'm a grandmother too! I love that you paired the dress with red shoes. YLF!

Yay!  Your photo bomber is a real cutie. The first thing I notice is you have a very neat and tidy manner of dressing, but you have a quirky side too.

It would be hard for me to cover such fantastic legs! I love the sweater with that dress. Welcome!!! Aida on "My First Time." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-time-1#post-1251944 Thu, 15 May 2014 00:39:56 +0000 Aida 1251944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aren't you adorable looking! Congrats on posting, the first is always the toughest Love the white pants in #1, they look perfectly breezy and just the right amount of loose. Since that top is shorter, I'd be inclined to add a fun belt and faux-tuck the welt behind it. The dress in #2 looks great on you, and I really the look of the long cardigan over the top. The length doesn't bother me, but I'll let others with more knowledge about that sort of thing chime in.

You look fabulous! Both outfits are terrific and I love the little photo bomber in the second photo. Great job with your first WIW! SarahTheWhite on "My First Time." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-time-1#post-1251942 Thu, 15 May 2014 00:39:01 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1251942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay!! I am so proud of you for posting, and I love the outfits! I think that the first one is relaxed and casual, but still very stylish. I think it is harder for you to get used to because it is looser and hides more of your figure (which photo 2 makes me totally envy) but I think you look lovely! As for #2... With legs like that, you have a responsibility to show them... at EVERY age!
