Yay, well done!</p> <p>I just did a similar round of spring/summer shopping -- ordered 4 items, kept 1. It's the nature of the beast.</p> <p>I hope your new shorts serve you very well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/preparing-for-springsummer-1#post-2017803 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 09:03:33 +0000 Synne 2017803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: ugh... not much luck with this. I'm giving up on looking for a midi dress online. There's always a weird catch! This gorgeous denim dress had great fit, but I didn't notice the bottom buttons are missing? It's basically a knee-length dress with a cape. No thanks.<br /> I'm keeping the white shorts, everything else is going back. Sorry, no pics this time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/preparing-for-springsummer-1#post-2017224 Mon, 01 Apr 2019 17:57:35 +0000 rachylou 2017224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/preparing-for-springsummer-1#post-2017181 Mon, 01 Apr 2019 15:15:26 +0000 Helena 2017181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choices; I especially love the denim dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/preparing-for-springsummer-1#post-2017155 Mon, 01 Apr 2019 13:41:20 +0000 Angie 2017155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute items, and longer shorts are definitely tending.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/preparing-for-springsummer-1#post-2017148 Mon, 01 Apr 2019 13:34:35 +0000 Anonymous 2017148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a plan, and really denim bikers may be more flattering than bulkier shorts! The denim dress could be hot for summer, but understand about the sheer fabric. It's so rare now to find substantial fabrics (but I'm sure slip and cami makers are overjoyed) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/preparing-for-springsummer-1#post-2017132 Mon, 01 Apr 2019 12:20:29 +0000 Synne 2017132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA: ugh... not much luck with this.

It's basically a knee-length dress with a cape. No thanks.<br /> I'm keeping the white shorts, everything else is going back. Sorry, no pics this time.</p> <p>I always find it so useful to read other's shopping strategies for the upcoming season, so I thought I'd share mine for S/S too. Here are some items I currently have on order.</p> <p>#1. I am slightly intrigued by the biker shorts trend, but I would never feel comfortable wearing one out in public. But I DO like the idea of a longer leg. I tend to get chafing on my thighs when I wear too skimpy shorts, so this denim pair would do the trick. I also like that it's high waisted.</p> <p>#2. I am on the hunt for a long sleeved midi dress, with button front. I haven't had any luck yet, either the fabric is too flimsy, or the pattern too grandma's furniture, or the dresses are black. I don't want a black summers dress! I want something light (but not see-through) and summery. This dark blue denim dress isn't really any of that, but I'm giving it a shot. </p> <p>#3 &amp; 4. I want a lightweight jacket in a new-to-me neutral. Something to toss over my shoulders when it's breezy. I am trying these two jackets. I hope they will look flattering with my summers dress (when I finally find it).</p> <p>Thanks for reading. Will post an update when my items arrive! </p>
