I love both of these so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-546469 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:59:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 546469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get past outfit #1 - I love the stripes with the navy blazer and green skirt - it's a killer combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-546448 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:36:36 +0000 Makrame 546448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a quick note - now that I have washed the LLBean striped t-shirt, I feel like I could have ordered a medium instead of a small. So for anyone interested in these shirts, I would suggest trying your normal size as well as one size down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-546125 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:59:25 +0000 Makrame 546125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie! That's so nice to hear!</p> <p>For some reason I have been reluctant to wear these boots. These are Nine West riding boots from two or three years ago, with a 2" wedge heel. I think they felt over the top to me when I first bought them because I was not used to wearing tall boots. But now that I have worn flat tall riding boots, I think I have worked up the courage to wear these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-546121 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:54:38 +0000 Angie 546121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. Your best outfits to date. Absolutely sensational boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-546084 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:28:20 +0000 sarah 546084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makrame, that makes sense. I'm super short, so the dress hits longer on me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545920 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:46:54 +0000 MsMary 545920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look FAB!! I've worn that top with that skirt and a navy blazer, too, and just love it!! Glad it worked out for you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545832 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:59:04 +0000 Lisa 545832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are fab! I like your stripes with the fun color skirt and scrunched sleeves in #1. Great proportions here. And #2 is lovely as well. Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545795 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:14:10 +0000 Makrame 545795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!<br /> CinnamonFern, I think we have a few "Breton top twins" here. :)</p> <p>Beth Ann, that's a great idea about a watch/bracelet. I used to always wear a simple utilitarian watch but once I started taking pictures of outfits, I realized that it is nice to have a more decorative watch for tops with 3/4 length sleeves. DH gave me a watch with a two-color silver/goldtone bracelet for my birthday last year, and I usually wear that watch with the 3/4 sleeved jacket.</p> <p>Sarah, thanks for giving me the inspiration for searching out that dress! I tried belting it but I am a little worried about the length of the dress - when belted, it looks slightly above the knee, and I am not sure how long (or short) it is going to be once I wash it. So I might wear it unbelted for teaching and belted for other occasions.</p> <p>GGB, LLBean always runs big for me so I never buy anything above a small, even though I may be a medium or 6/8 in other brands. This is a small, and I am size 8 in AnnTaylor tops, if that helps. I just washed and dried it so I'll need to try it again to make sure it did not shrink. The knit is very substantial so I think this is going to be a nice transitional top for colder spring days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545771 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:32:55 +0000 Sarah A 545771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>im on the bandwagon! both look super! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545763 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:02:42 +0000 sarah 545763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad (and jealous!) that the LLBean shirt works for you. I LOVE that outfit. And of course I love the Target dress, too. You might also try belting it - I end up doing that a lot, just to mix things up. Great new finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545760 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:53:10 +0000 kellygirl 545760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super duper outfits, Makrame! I love the Breton top with that Halogen skirt. It looks so chic and stylish. The dress is fab too. I don't know how I missed Sarah's post--it looks awesome on both on you! You've got yourself some fab outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545751 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 18:39:54 +0000 GGB 545751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! </p> <p>Makrame, how was the sizing on that shirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545705 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:33:51 +0000 Beth Ann 545705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meant to add....a great wrist watch would also be a nice touch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545703 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:32:54 +0000 Beth Ann 545703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both -- nice fit, color and proportion, and both are great for teaching. If you have one, I think a simple bracelet (maybe simple silver cuff or bangle) would look great on the wrist in #2 --- I like this sleeve length with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545676 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:29:38 +0000 cinnamon fern 545676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both fabulous! Although I'm prejudiced since I'm wearing the same t today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545670 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:24:07 +0000 Jem 545670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both, alot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545667 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:19:43 +0000 Jjsloane 545667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them both on you. Good acquisitions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545659 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:15:21 +0000 Isis 545659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, 2 great outfits! I really love both of these as you've styled them. Effortless chic!</p> <p>(and Keep both items, of course!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545658 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:14:52 +0000 Anonymous 545658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I agree with Kim (QM)! The LLBean top looks just great on you, with the green skirt but also would go with *anything*. The dress is a 100% keeper in my book. I love it on you. It's a no-brainer for teaching. You look amazing Makrame! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545649 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:08:44 +0000 Queen Mum 545649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>both of these are great! Love the green skirt outfit... that is so fresh! And the dress looks great! Keep both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545648 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:08:33 +0000 biscuitsmom 545648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like the shirt, love the dress! You styled it beautifully.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-items---copycat-of-sarah-and-maryk--kr-target-dress#post-545647 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:06:34 +0000 Makrame 545647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a couple of new items as a result of reading YLF. One is a striped top from LLBean that MaryK recommended, and I think it's "keep". It seems to fit me better than the Vince Camuto tiered striped t-shirt (sent that back to Nordstrom a few weeks ago).</p> <p>The other is a shameless copy of this post <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-featuring-new-target-midi" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....arget-midi</a> by sarah - I saw that Target still had this dress online so decided to try it. At first I thought it did not work at all with my dark hair but after taking pictures I think it may be OK. I am looking for a really easy to throw on work look for teaching so I don't want to fuss with scarves etc to brighten this up. Does it work as styled? These boots I got a few years ago and almost never wear them. I could also wear the dress with tall grey boots I keep in my office at work. I also still need to get some textured black tights, I think they would be better for this. </p>
