The sleeves are rather sheer on this top, especially at the top where there is some black lace detailing. I need to call the glucose meter company to see if they have any suggestions. I think I’ve become allergic to the metal parts that are against my skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2153791 Fri, 13 Nov 2020 13:52:53 +0000 lyn67 2153791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry&nbsp; for&nbsp; still strugling with the glucose meter but your&nbsp; outfit is gorgeous! Love the floral top beautiful colors and subtle arm grinning through the sleeves (if i'm right) which is a feature I always love on feminine blouses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2153599 Thu, 12 Nov 2020 06:23:00 +0000 Anonymous 2153599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been repeating outfits or parts of outfits and want to come up with something fun for my little grandson’s birthday this coming week. He can’t have a real birthday party because of a strong new surge of the virus that is tightening things up. Even his school is going from a hybrid ( part time on line) model to remote, which will make things even harder for his parents. This is to continue until Jan. 5. Hospitals are overflowing and everyone fears the holidays. Halloween with some celebrating in large groups without any precautions is already showing a spike among young people that is scarey. Be careful. This could be a long winter.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2153456 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 02:05:52 +0000 Anonymous 2153456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Lynn.

It is keeping me away from anything holiday for a few weeks longer, although I want to wear sparkle and red and green together now. Having to wait makes it more joyful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2153044 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 17:55:58 +0000 Jenni NZ 2153044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for answering Joy. I see now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2153028 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 14:15:07 +0000 Anonymous 2153028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, it is just a challenge I occasionally do. To limit my wardrobe for<br /> about a month. It keeps me playing in the closet and being creative and forces new outfit creations. This time I limited the month’s wardrobe to 21 items. It seemed doable and I stuck to fallish colors for the most part.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2153023 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 08:59:19 +0000 Jenni NZ 2153023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy why is it November 21 items? What has the number 21 got to do with anything? I must have missed something... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2153010 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 05:13:01 +0000 Anonymous 2153010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Shevia. You are the best at finding old pieces that can become the backbone of the wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2153002 Sun, 08 Nov 2020 03:34:09 +0000 Jaime 2153002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You show again how old staples can become the backbone of a wardrobe. And, of course, not surprised about the thrifted jacket ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2152956 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 18:34:02 +0000 Anonymous 2152956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie. I am pretty sure I got the idea to get a sweatshirt like this from one of your blog posts on wearing mixed media. It has served me well and is a pretty good travel piece too, as it does not wrinkle and can be worn in different weather conditions and dressed up or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2152937 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 15:17:19 +0000 Angie 2152937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That blouse is beautiful with your smashing silver hair,<b> Ruth</b>! Flattering silhouette too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2152928 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 14:23:50 +0000 Anonymous 2152928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Minaminu, Jane, Runcarla, and kkards. Yes, this top does work with a variety of bottoms because of the colors. Usually in the fall I wear it with a taupe pair of pants and topper.<br /> Jane. I love thinking of an English hedgerow. Kkards, I also like the idea of wearing it with white in early spring. The dark floral was something I was inspired to add because of Brooklyn’s wardrobe.<br /> Runcarla, I have found blazers really hard to fit, probably because of my sway back and small bust. Other styles of jackets do not seem as difficult. I was ready to invest in a Theory blazer, but none were a good fit and I gave up. All my blazers are thrift shop finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2152924 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 13:50:31 +0000 kkards 2152924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its so nice to see florals in the winter...nice with the black pants, and I’m thinking how great this would be in Jan or Feb with white jeans, a way of starting to think about spring.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2152920 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 13:26:50 +0000 Carla 2152920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting that you got a jacket at thrift that fit better than something new off the rack. &nbsp;I’ve had the same experience. &nbsp;Sometimes the thrill of the find at thrift adds an extra dimension of affection for a garment.</p> <p>YLF - and thanks for participating in the OBG challenge this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2152904 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 07:32:25 +0000 Jane 2152904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colours in the top - it looks like an English hedgerow with berries and wild roses. Good fitting black trousers are hard to find and these look super. Cute bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2152902 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 07:21:49 +0000 Minaminu 2152902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I can imagine that top can work very well with other colours too, the pattern is lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2152896 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 06:08:54 +0000 Anonymous 2152896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim cat, the is some o.ive green in the print so I will definitely try it with my olive joggers. That would make a useful outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2152894 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 06:00:59 +0000 slim cat 2152894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The print on the floral sweatshirt is pretty and could be worn with dark jeans or green/olive joggers as well. Great look all together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2152893 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 05:52:50 +0000 Anonymous 2152893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, these black pants are winners and so useful in cold weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2152891 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 05:45:21 +0000 Bijou 2152891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy that is a beautiful top and looks fab with your black pants. A good pair of black pants is so useful in being the support act to a statement top, a definite OBG winning item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/obg5#post-2152890 Sat, 07 Nov 2020 05:33:08 +0000 Anonymous 2152890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The OBG is the black pants which you cannot see very well. I decided to use these thrifted black Dana Bucanun pants for a thrifted pair of black silky pants due to cold weather. I know the photo location leaves much to be desired. The floral sweatshirt styled top is about 6 years old but can be layered. Here I am wearing a black tank under it but it can take a heat tech long sleeved tee (also about 6 years old and thrifted). This was for my November 21 items.<br /> The pants are not perfect, because although they work ok with this weeks glucose meter placement, they have a side very small zipper and tiny hook and eye fastener, they are complicated when it comes to using the bathroom or for injections, but I will keep them for now because they fit, they are warm, and in my closet for now. They can be dressed up with a fancy top or topper. . I am wearing 2019 grey Ugg loafers indoors. For a topper I used an old thrifted black blazer which fits as well as or better than new ones I have tried. My small bag is Bagillini. From consignment last year. My larger bag used to go to the drug store got DH is a pink tote that was from consignment last year. I welcome your thoughts and am sorry about the photos </p>
