I do wear shorts, but probably don't post my outfits...I will though because it is those sorts of posts that are likely to be the most useful. This is my collection, I like my playsuits most because they are the most dressy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721/page/2#post-2206521 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 04:04:54 +0000 Anonymous 2206521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok , Ms Ryce - challenge accepted ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721/page/2#post-2206510 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 03:08:22 +0000 Anonymous 2206510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just put my order in for the dress. I, of course, can’t think of anything more interesting that a pair of casual black sandals to wear with it. Lisa, I’m counting on you to show some great look - booties?!? jewelry!?! - that I can shamelessly copy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721/page/2#post-2206495 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 01:46:05 +0000 Anonymous 2206495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We’ll see .

I really love this top too and am excited about adding another for next summer . I’ve already ordered a black print shirt dress from tbem for late summer/ fall </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721/page/2#post-2206386 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 14:42:18 +0000 Anonymous 2206386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Your “futz around the house” attire exceeds my “date night” level of effort.<br /> Seriously, that is a gorgeous top - exactly the kind of upscale “basic” I’ve been wanting to add to my own wardrobe. Like others, I’m done for this season, but now have a source to check for best year. Thank you for that!<br /> Shorts proportions are so tricky - you’ve really nailed it for yourself with that fit and length! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721/page/2#post-2206350 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 11:26:58 +0000 Anonymous 2206350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That green is your color- wow!!!

I love those snakeskin sandals too, and I agree with your current assessment that the white shorts are perfect.</p> <p>Husbands can offer some irritating opinions sometimes :). I don't think longer shorts = "old lady" by any stretch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721/page/2#post-2206120 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 13:59:37 +0000 Anonymous 2206120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou - &nbsp;thank you, and that's a great comment about the beauty of seeing each other in our "everyday" clothes doing the same jobs and errands we all do. &nbsp;I think your style is lot dressier than mine, and I don't think I've ever seen a photo of you in shorts! &nbsp;Challenge is on :)</p> <p>It's funny - about 4-5 &nbsp;years ago when I first bought the dark indigo version of these shorts (I guess I have 4 pair now) , my husband made on of his very few comments about what I wear . We were out together doing some shopping - me wearing these long shorts - and he suggested I was dressing like an old lady (not quite how he put it, but that was the gist of it). I was a little taken aback, but had to agree after seeing my reflection in a store window . I don't think I wore them much for the next 2 years. Now? They are perfect. Maybe I *am* now an old lady &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721/page/2#post-2206093 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 11:15:34 +0000 kkards 2206093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FAB!

Thank you so much for the recommendation of this company. I will check them out!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721/page/2#post-2205942 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 19:47:35 +0000 Mainelady 2205942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Truly lovely! Thank you for the review. I had not heard of POMP, but will check them out. This seems to be a lineny summer for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721/page/2#post-2205821 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 12:57:43 +0000 RobinF 2205821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit, that green is so pretty and a color you don't see very often. I am dying for those sandals but REALLY don't need more sandals.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721/page/2#post-2205815 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 12:42:34 +0000 Janet 2205815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, that's a great color on you! I love all greens, but these warmer ones don't always suit me so well. Intrigued by this company but I think I'm done with summer shopping. I'm glad you found such a winner, and it looks fantastic with white shorts.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm so glad the sandals worked out for you. I love that pedicure with them. I think I need a new color on my toes. I've been defaulting to my cobalt blue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721/page/2#post-2205812 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 12:26:50 +0000 Gail 2205812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very nice crisp and clean outfit . The quality looks amazing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721#post-2205809 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 12:06:03 +0000 Jules 2205809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this! As a Canadian looking for better quality I have my eye on the company, and the tees in particular. This one is also my favourite colour I think I once told RunCarla (or another poster looking for hot summer clothes) that I found linen tees to be sheer and require an underlayer, which defeats the purpose, but I’d only ever had knit ones. This is a much better version. I may be tempted to copy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721#post-2205780 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 08:51:13 +0000 lyn67 2205780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! especially love your trick, which I also do nowadays of&nbsp;&nbsp;deliberately chosing "cool colours in jewellery and nail polish to give the warmer ... top some edge . I love the unexpected “ balance “". Happy I've got some confirmation, from one of my style crushes here!:-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721#post-2205777 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 08:02:38 +0000 Sally 2205777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a gorgeous coloured top and really suits you.&nbsp; I love the look of linen but am too lazy to wear it myself due the necessity of ironing.&nbsp; Its funny you should say you are sick of summer clothes.&nbsp; I am sick of winter clothes and have two more months of it.&nbsp; Shall we swap?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721#post-2205765 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 07:10:08 +0000 rachylou 2205765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must say, that is a linen that lies nicely, smoothly. Nice drape. This is definitely the way to do linen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721#post-2205755 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 04:02:16 +0000 Bijou 2205755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love this and thank you for posting. </p> <p>Since Irina's post about ordinary style it has had me thinking...&nbsp; I realise that one of the real benefits of YLF is that I get to see how very stylish women dress for a lifestyle that is not dissimilar from my own. People who work, own pets, are mums, who do grocery shopping and want to wear practical and stylish clothes for their normal day to day activities is just so useful for me. Whilst flicking through a Vogue magazine is a lovely escape, I will never be super thin and rich, nor a fashion editor, I don't live in Paris. As fun as it is to see what Emmanuel Alte, Anna Wintour and their assistants are wearing, it bears zero relevance to my life.</p> <p>Lisa, you look amazing here and you are wearing shorts and a top with sandals - the clothing that I wear, that work for my summer climate and lifestyle. </p> <p>You give me hope! Maybe, I too can buy myself a great blouse this summer and some lovely crisp white shorts and put them together with some fashionable sandals with a great pedicure and look fabulous too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721#post-2205743 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 00:22:20 +0000 Jaime 2205743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent outfit and I agree completely about the quality of linen being very important. The color is perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ordinary-linen-wiw-62721#post-2205741 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 00:20:03 +0000 Anonymous 2205741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sloper - yes ; Joy - no ; lol. I may have it dry cleaned ….not sure yet . </p> <p>Angie - this is a recent very short cut . Trying to get rid the processed colour .
