These all look great, but I particularly like #3,4 and 5. I'm impressed with your sewing skills in making that last blouse.That orange color in #4 is so flattering against your skin—I just love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-summer-here-second-and-last-part#post-720981 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 04:57:25 +0000 K. Period. 720981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! You look fantastic in all of these!!! Wow, it really shows how a carefully purchased wardrobe and correct modifications produce downright stellar results. I wish I was able to make something as incredible and lovely as that blouse in #5. I can barely get a jeans hem done! Phenomenal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-summer-here-second-and-last-part#post-720963 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 04:28:47 +0000 jayne 720963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look so comfy and weather appropriate...love your use f color. My favorite is 2, the lime green is so calming to my eye </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-summer-here-second-and-last-part#post-720955 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 04:02:08 +0000 CocoLion 720955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all but love #5 and how it came about -- the lightweight (but covering and not clingy) washable silk top you made, and the jeans you re-purposed into summer capris. You have quite the eye for style as well as the talent to design things for yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-summer-here-second-and-last-part#post-720946 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 03:39:00 +0000 sarah 720946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well good grief - you've found a summer formula that totally works for you! You look smashing in all of these! LOVE the colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-summer-here-second-and-last-part#post-720903 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 02:00:00 +0000 JR 720903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant idea to use the light-weight silk for a more modest top. I'm looking forward to learning how to sew again.</p> <p>What can I say? These are great outfits. Lovely colours, and all with a lively sense of fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-summer-here-second-and-last-part#post-720883 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 01:25:32 +0000 Sara L. 720883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great outfits! I love hearing how you put together this summer wardrobe on the cheap. I'm impressed with your sewing skills and creativity! The floral capris in #1 and #3 are so cute and look good with the solid tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-summer-here-second-and-last-part#post-720873 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 01:17:13 +0000 Suz 720873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My heavens! For someone who doesn't think she has a summer wardrobe, you have done brilliantly! Truly, this is a nicer set of outfits than I had all summer (and we HAD a summer here!) </p> <p>You look stunning in those yellows and oranges. Absolutely alive. And you really seem to have a terrific formula for yourself. I love the "modesty" outfit, too. </p> <p>I hope you have a wonderful trip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-summer-here-second-and-last-part#post-720869 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 01:15:55 +0000 Caro in Oz 720869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p># 5 is my favourite - that's a great top on you (you should make some more imo). Love #3 too - the pants are cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/no-summer-here-second-and-last-part#post-720859 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 01:10:15 +0000 Bagaline 720859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here we go with the "day" part of my resort wardrobe. </p> <p>That's all simple clothes to wander around, visit markets, etc. I wanted things that looked nice but at a very low cost because I knew that our Irish weather wouldn't provide many occasions to wear such summery clothes. </p> <p>I'm proud to say that I got the lot for around 30 Euros and they all look rather pretty, if I can say so myself. All the capris/bermudas were pants in a previous life: I'm quite handy with a sewing machine and I gave them all a summer cut.</p> <p>1. The top is a 4Euro find in Benetton and I like its floaty shape. The printed capris were reduced to 6E in Penney's (bit like your Walmart).</p> <p>2. Got the green capris in a charity shop for 1Euro. The top was bought for 5 Euros in the H&amp;M sales. (Note: I am not showing cleavage, I just don't bother anymore with the special foundation to cover the bypass scar. Those who don't like it can look somewhere else.)</p> <p>3. Same printed capris worn with a linen blouse (a brand new Marks &amp; Spencer with the tags on) that I was lucky enough to buy in a charity shop for 6 Euros. </p> <p>4. This nice chiffon top was also bought in a charity shop for 4,50E and I got the white pants in the same place for 2 Euros. Serendipity.</p> <p>5. This is my outfit for places where I need to be more modest. I made the blouse myself with silk bought in Amman last year. It weighs 1 gram, washes like a hankerchief, dries in minutes. It will be part of my permanent traveling gear. The capris were flared jeans - but very flared, bell bottoms like! 2 Euros and 1 hour of work, and voilà!</p> <p>Your comments are precious. </p>
