Something about that masculine/feminine or casual/dressy tension just gets me.</p> <p><b>JAileen,&nbsp;</b>I think these are the same Ariats you have, yes? If not, they're really close! Maybe same style but different color?</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Colette</b> and <b>Brooklyn</b>! &nbsp;<b>Cee</b>, you make me laugh.</p> <p><b>LisaP</b>, maybe "twee" isn't exactly the right word, but it makes me a bit like a 50s housewife. &nbsp;:)</p> <p><b>Bonnie,&nbsp;</b>yes! Part of how I justified the boots purchase way-back-when was that I live in Colorado and can wear western-wear if I want to. &nbsp;:D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-day-2#post-1908662 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 23:47:25 +0000 Cee 1908662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YEEEE-HAHHHH, indeed ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-day-2#post-1908655 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 23:35:52 +0000 Bonnie 1908655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea to use a shirtdress for a topper. I love the colors of the tunic dress under the black topper and the boots are a fun Colorado way to style them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-day-2#post-1908644 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 23:16:15 +0000 Anonymous 1908644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another great look! &nbsp;I don't see this as twee on you - and I get what you mean - rather, it's a dressier look and something for a more conservative occasion , maybe? &nbsp;Anyways, it looks great. And you are killing me with these cowboy boots &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-day-2#post-1908640 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 23:10:05 +0000 Brooklyn 1908640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very glam!

Your smile, hair, makeup, everything works. And TDF cowboy boots!

I feel very lucky that my hair’s mind of its own usually agrees with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-day-2#post-1908609 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 22:15:50 +0000 Jenn 1908609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks y’all, this lipstick is way darker than I normally wear, but it matches the dress so I figured, why not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-day-2#post-1908605 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 21:54:41 +0000 Katerina 1908605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a really cool and interesting outfit, love the unexpected combination.

Your styling with the Tolani dress is superb! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oldies-day-2#post-1908593 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 21:29:27 +0000 Jenn 1908593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonus day! This outfit contains two oldies from my wardrobe. We’re headed to Denver tonight for dinner and a play at an experimental theatre, so I wanted something a little funky and artsy. </p> <p>The black shirt dress is another piece that was already in my wardrobe by the time I started tracking in summer 2015, though I believe it was fairly new then. It’s logged 15 wears since. </p> <p>Why I’ve considered letting it go: while fit and flare styling works for my body, it also can feel a bit twee for my style. 100% cotton needs a steam or iron after every wash. The close-cut upper body isn’t the coolest for summertime.</p> <p>Why I still have it: the color and style are so classic that it doesn’t need to be a workhorse over a season or two. I’ll be able to wear it a few times a year over a longer period. Also, buttoning all the way down gives it some versatility. See this outfit!</p> <p>The cowboy boots are the second oldie here. I bought them for a western-themed party for new year’s 2012, shortly after we moved back to Colorado. At the time, I convinced myself that I could afford a quite nice pair and would wear them for a long time. I was right. They’ve only logged 17 wears since 2015, but they had three years before that to rack up plenty. </p> <p>Why I’ve considered letting go: I haven’t.</p> <p>Why I still have them: They’re classic. </p> <p>Worn with: Tolani tunic dress (5 wears) </p>
