Sometimes, seeing such awesome pieces so beautifully modeled by fellow fab bees can wash away the toughest resolve. :)</p> <p>My only saving grace is fall will be here for real n a few weeks, two, maybe three if we're lucky, so summer purchases hold no sway. Saving for winter wright cashmere. *sigh* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1541256 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 23:00:51 +0000 celia 1541256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely olive cargo pants have been in my mind. There is always so many good things on the forum ( sight ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1541238 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 22:36:55 +0000 Sal 1541238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a small world Carla!<br />I bought some of their harem pants last summer, perfect lounge wear. &nbsp;And I loved some of their summer dresses.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1541237 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 22:34:45 +0000 Carla 1541237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!

I pre-ordered a pair of blue Aquatalia mid calf booties. </p> <p>Shoes! Always shoes! Along with cashmere sweaters, they are my shopping downfall. So, I have to admit that I purchased a J Crew cropped cashmere sweater to wear with my high waisted jeans and pencil skirts. I love the color, Autumn Periwinkle. </p> <p>It's not YLF lemming behavior, but I'm straying a bit from my fall/winter plan and need to get back on track! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1541221 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 22:04:25 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1541221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I am glad I am not alone on this. &nbsp;Kerlyn I actually laughed when I read that you ordered olive cargo pants. &nbsp;I was driving to work this morning and remembered that I have another pair that are a bit narrower than the JCrew ones I've been wearing lately. &nbsp;I am going to dig them out of their hiding place so I have two pairs to wear with all the new stuff that should arrive soon. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1541131 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 19:12:09 +0000 kerlyn 1541131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! &nbsp;I wasn't going to shop until September, and no more summer clothes. &nbsp;And then last week I ordered 2 summer skirts! &nbsp;What am I doing?</p> <p>But one was a cheap clearance find I'd been stalking for a couple months, and the other is a tube skirt! &nbsp;Tube skirt! &nbsp;I've been seeing some fabbers wearing them and really loving the look. &nbsp;I think it will fill a hole in my warm-weather date night wardrobe. &nbsp;I can't wait to try it with a couple of my drapey tops (maybe front tucked).</p> <p>Oh, and um...yeah. &nbsp;Also ordered some olive green soft cargo pants. &nbsp;So, there's that too. &nbsp;Geez.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1540942 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 09:49:36 +0000 Anonymous 1540942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me!! &nbsp;Many control issues. &nbsp;I don't necessarily consider this bad though. &nbsp;I find WIWs to be far more helpful in deciding style directions than fashion magazines. &nbsp;These are real life women wearing clothes in real life situations. &nbsp;Many of those situations mirror my own life. &nbsp;If an ensemble looks fabulous on them, then I really have to review it closely to see if that same ensemble would fit into my life circumstances. &nbsp;</p> <p>This is a great post because just last night I was putting away the laundry and I saw first hand how many items I owned that were first seen and inspired by WIWs. &nbsp;A shout out here to Janet for her Athleta capri pants. &nbsp;I wear them constantly during the summer. &nbsp;Yay Janet. &nbsp;</p> <p>And Janet is only one of many. &nbsp;Joy has inspired me greatly. &nbsp;I now have a tiny capsule of tank tops inspired by Joy. &nbsp;There are many more examples, but I have to get ready for work. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1540927 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 08:48:18 +0000 Sal 1540927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been restrained so far...but think I have at least two pieces exiting so feel some shopping coming up.</p> <p>Carla, I wonder if the NZ designer was Evolve.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/evolvedesignsnz">https://www.facebook.com/evolvedesignsnz</a></p> <p>My friend spent the summer working for them and I know they have been summering over in Canada. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am chomping at the bit for some new trousers, a new dress and probably some new shoes too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1540916 Mon, 17 Aug 2015 07:49:31 +0000 Maneera 1540916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha...Cheryle....you cracked me up! I'm glad you ordered the peplum...I'm very sure that it is going to look gorgeous on you. Peplums are great for short-waisted hourglass figures when they hit at the right spot. </p> <p>And just to prove you are not alone, I ordered a pair of pointy toe leopard print flat bellies too High Five! and if I could find them, I'm definitely buying olive pants! I've been on the hunt, but with no luck yet.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1540325 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 01:29:44 +0000 Style Fan 1540325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently bought a sweater that I loved on Firecracker.&nbsp; I so regretted not buying it last year when she posted lots of WIWs with this sweater on.&nbsp; At least it seemed like there were lots.&nbsp; I saw the sweater in a store in Hamilton when I was there and&nbsp;then was gone.&nbsp; Well I saw it last month deeply discounted (shhhhh) and grabbed it.&nbsp; So we are sweater twins.<br />I will probably buy jeans that Denise has if I can find them here.&nbsp; <br />So happy the other fabbers are pre-screening for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1540315 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 00:50:03 +0000 Peri 1540315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I actually love the Forum for doing some of my shopping for me! I'm not good at shopping...improving, but I don't have the patience for the endless search. If I see something fantastic on someone I consider that as really kind pre-screening. Maybe that feels better than saying lemming!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1540306 Sun, 16 Aug 2015 00:24:32 +0000 shedev 1540306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really tempted by how good so many fabbers look in the Vince dress. I'm determined to complete this month of SYC. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1540291 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 23:38:20 +0000 Anonymous 1540291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lost my mind in July - and my bank account is evidence of that. &nbsp;Not wearing any of it though - at least not really - with this ridiculous heat we are having...I don't feel like wearing anything other than shorts and a tank top. I love olive and lace too - and your lacey sweater story reminds me I have an open-knit cream cotton thing from CM that I wore with olive cargos last summer/fall and quite liked it. Thanks for the reminder &nbsp;<br />The peplum top is gorgeous, if you can wear peplum tops. In EF though an M is pretty roomy - I would have guessed you'd wear a Small. &nbsp;I fit into ridiculously small sizes in that line so I know you would too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1540280 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 23:10:26 +0000 Carla 1540280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dianthus, I fell off the proverbial restraint wagon today. Nothing too spendy - but so counter to where I think my wardrobe is going! After my regular overhaul at the estheticians, I 'popped' into a summer 'pop-up' store in my town. A New Zealand 'ethical' designer who works with women's sewing co-operatives, etc. I indulged in two of my fringe fashion passions - the colour purple (which I am constantly fighting/denying) and a boho print. </p> <p>The dress is very kind in a DVF wrap kind of way. My justification was that it would be a great 'resort' dress for our annual late winter get-away, but, I am already strategizing how to wear it to work next week!</p> <p>FWIW, I'm also going to copy cat you copy acting MsMary with the olive pants. She did black check, and you did blue. I don't have check, but I have blue stripe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-title-should-be-queen-lemming#post-1540273 Sat, 15 Aug 2015 22:40:59 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1540273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has been a week of imitation and emulation but I may have taken it a bit too far. &nbsp;I am going to blame it on my lack of sleep, okay?</p> <p>First, I have so enjoyed seeing all of Maneera's outfits with peplum tops that I started thinking maybe I need to get one. &nbsp;I have one in the closet but think it might be a bit snug and its a knit. &nbsp;I ordered the one shown in Pic 1 from ebay. &nbsp;It is a silk charmeuse EF in graphite. &nbsp;I plan to wear it to create an inspired by outfit of this pic. &nbsp;Has anyone seen it in person? &nbsp;I ordered a M and hope it fits my short-waisted body.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/11118330307726405/">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/11118330307726405/</a></p> <p>Next up, I saw the lovely green top from Zara that Viva posted. &nbsp;Yup, it is on its way too. &nbsp;It really is pretty and will work with a lot of my closet. &nbsp;Viva gave me some help in choosing the size. &nbsp;Thanks Viva<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-colorful-tops-your-thoughts">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....r-thoughts</a></p> <p>Then Carla posted this amazing outfit with the olive pants (<b>I have a pair too). &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwolive-skinnies-lab">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....innies-lab</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /></b>I ran into a friend at the mall and was telling her how amazing a lace top looks with olive cargos and yup, off I went and bought a sheer lacy sweater to go with the olive. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am pretty sure there is one more but my mind won't grab onto it to include. &nbsp;I may have to amend later to add it in. &nbsp;</p> <p>I also ordered a pair of animal print &nbsp;pointy toe flats because Beth the blogger wore them in one of the inspiration outfits and it made me want a pair. &nbsp;Since I was ordering those, I figured what the heck, and ordered another pair (or two).&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyone else have control issues lately?<b></b> </p>
