Sooo many times the weather foils my outfit plans too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice/page/2#post-2262153 Tue, 03 May 2022 23:32:07 +0000 merwoman 2262153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Sharan!</b><br /><b>Angie</b>, I hadn’t thought about supply/delivery issues with clothing, but makes perfect sense. Must be a nightmare for retailers to sort out the logistics.<br />What a sweet thing to say <b>Fash</b>! TBH, given global warming, it seems impossible to base our weather expectations on past history. Nothing beats opening the front door and sticking your head out :)<br /><b>Stylefan</b>, I think I’m in very good company with this lovely top. I like how it works well with both blue/white jeans, my wardrobe staples.<br />Maybe these are them <b>TheCat</b> ;)! These babies are over 10 years old. I had the same pair in a cognac colour as well (sadly worn out ) I have never bought the same shoe in two colours, except these ones… wish I had duplicated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice/page/2#post-2262147 Tue, 03 May 2022 21:36:24 +0000 The Cat 2262147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF! Great style. Love your shoes--they remind me of some I had many years ago and still am missing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice/page/2#post-2262135 Tue, 03 May 2022 19:14:51 +0000 Style Fan 2262135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That top is so pretty. Even if it were not your first choice, that is a fabulous outfit. I can see why so many fabbers added the top to their wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2262133 Tue, 03 May 2022 19:04:07 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2262133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great—your cheerful grin makes the flowers on the shirt look happy! High five on Ted B. </p> <p>I’m basically figuring out that my idea of “spring weather” is based on the 2 states where I lived 30 of my first 35 years, not where I am now (even though 3 of those years were here). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2262132 Tue, 03 May 2022 18:24:33 +0000 Angie 2262132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Merwoman,</b> I think we can safely blame COVID for supply chain and shipment challenges.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2262114 Tue, 03 May 2022 17:05:17 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2262114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a lovely Spring-y outfit for a shower. How fun with the floral bag, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2262106 Tue, 03 May 2022 16:37:01 +0000 merwoman 2262106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a tricky negotiation isn’t it <b>Eliza</b>, you want to look seasonal but not freeze!<br />Thanks <b>Suz</b>, I’m kind of stalled on my seasonal swap out as well. I’m just itching to get some wear out of my spring stuff before we go full tilt into summer.<br />Shacket was new to me as well <b>Sally</b>! Marketing is really quite clever, but a rose by any other name….<br />Thank you <b>Zaeobi</b>! I’ve just ‘visited’ your gorgeous yellow dress. You found a clever work around! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2262030 Tue, 03 May 2022 08:13:58 +0000 Zaeobi 2262030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely look for a baby shower - joyful but not overpowering You pull off barrel leg jeans so well! </p> <p>Haha yes, my yellow dress is one such outfit - I had planned to wear a very lightweight look, since HK's sandal weather usually lasts from March - October. But then Eid ended up being the coldest recorded May day in Hong Kong since 1917. And it rained, to boot! </p> <p>So I had to wear trousers then change into the dress with a thin top underneath </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2262021 Tue, 03 May 2022 07:25:19 +0000 Sally 2262021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you learn something new everyday.&nbsp; I had never heard of a shacket.&nbsp; That is a great outfit...the white jeans are a great cut on you and work so beautifully with that top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2262014 Tue, 03 May 2022 04:39:16 +0000 Suz 2262014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So frustrating about the weather. It's been really cool here, too. And wet. I haven't had plans for a specific event messed up but I still haven't done my seasonal switchover because I keep needing the merino sweaters!&nbsp;</p> <p>This looks great -- I love the bag with the top! And the barrel leg jeans look fab on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2261968 Mon, 02 May 2022 20:51:41 +0000 Eliza 2261968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF, Merwoman. Love those colors on you and the look belies the temperature and celebrates spring. Well played! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2261958 Mon, 02 May 2022 20:26:06 +0000 merwoman 2261958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Joy</b>, while I love Ted Bakers florals I’ve got him on my do not engage, do not buy list. :(<br />Weather is so unpredictable isn’t it <b>BarbaraD</b> ….good idea to plan for options. If I’m driving, I’ll often throw a few things in the back seat, jacket, shoes etc just to be prepared.<br />Yay <b>Angie</b>! Oh I’m doing a happy dance for you! This has been an amazing dress/skirt season for you! The stocking of this dress was just the craziest thing…depending on where you lived in the world and the day of week, you never knew what colour would be available! Do you think Nordstrom’s was just messing with us?<br />Thats a lovely outfit <b>BJ</b>, really perfect for the occasion. I hope the weather cooperates! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2261939 Mon, 02 May 2022 18:05:13 +0000 BlueJay 2261939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit looks great! I like the lavender background for the top and it looks great with white jeans and floral tote (I love dark florals). Perfect for a baby shower!</p> <p>Yes, I'm looking at the weather forecast for this coming Saturday: sunny with a high of 12 C. I'm going to a Celebration of Life, I'm not sure that the outfit I've chosen will be warm enough: a lightweight skirt and linen shirt. Might have to add hose and/or change the shirt for something warmer, like a sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2261927 Mon, 02 May 2022 17:12:29 +0000 Angie 2261927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Btw, <b>merwoman,</b> Nordies USA has the dress in blue too!

It’s so true, if you’re not warm, it’s hard to enjoy yourself. Think I’ll bring a puffer back up ;)<br /><b>LJP</b> we’re quads! &nbsp;I’ve been able to get more seasonal wear by layering a uniqlo heat tech tee under it. Bust yours out more often!<br />You wear this pant silhouette so well Bonnie, thank you for your kind comment.<br /><b>cat2</b> it’s good to have a backup outfit!<br />Thank you <b>Nikki</b>, the tote is a fav and manages to go with everything!<br />Thanks <b>Jaime</b>, I really like this silhouette for adding curves in a magical way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2261770 Sun, 01 May 2022 01:27:56 +0000 Jaime 2261770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super outfit!

And thank you for the floral love…if you wear it, it will come right?<br />I love your suggestions <b>Angie</b>! Blushing from your kind compliments…these specs have to be my favourite of all times!<br /><b>kkards</b> that’s always the way isn’t it? I probably brought it on myself by packing away the wool sweaters. Thanks for your kind words and hope it warms up for you soon.<br /><b>Vildy</b> and <b>JAileen</b> the tote is a treasure…but sadly, not very well made. I choose its outings carefully.<br />Oh I could see you rocking this top <b>Lana</b>, you’ve got the perfect toppers for it.<br />I find the floral mix very appealing as well <b>Brooklyn</b>, especially against the black background. Sorry to hear about all that rain…bet your gorgeous boots have been working overtime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2261750 Sat, 30 Apr 2022 23:02:17 +0000 Brooklyn 2261750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I like the floral pattern mix. </p> <p>We’ve had heavy rain for months now. So I didn’t get to wear sandals much at all through the second half of summer and early Autumn. Too muddy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/not-my-first-choice#post-2261748 Sat, 30 Apr 2022 22:56:00 +0000 Lana 2261748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous top!
