I put together a navy T with an olive jacket today (for someone else) and thought of you! You know, I have a scarf that was expensive that has a very open weave to it--so many snags! I'm just chalking it up to loving it and saying who cares if anyone notices the snags. I love how the skulls add an element of surprise to the outfit!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898998 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 01:53:36 +0000 rachylou 1898998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your coat is preying on my mind: I really just love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898979 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 23:32:28 +0000 Sal 1898979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great spring/wanna be spring look.&nbsp; I love the colour palette on you.</p> <p>The scarf is really a great colour on you.... I think it would be fab with camel and mid blue denim haha.....&nbsp; (on me so feel free to post it over)&nbsp; I think you could wear it with black or dark colours as long as there was some light somewhere else ie white sneakers or bag.... or even black pants with a white stripe down the side..</p> <p>Anyway you look terrific here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898974 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 23:03:27 +0000 Anonymous 1898974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*runs back to check pic of coat to see that it does in fact have an interesting quilting pattern * - haha. &nbsp;<b>Jane </b>- thanks for the comments, and the top is one layer (the bottom is a false silk shirttail in front and back). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898945 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 21:27:45 +0000 Jane 1898945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that the coat has a different shape stitched in rather than straight lines. The colours look fab and I love the McQueen scarf. I like the layering of the shirt under the stripe jumper.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898891 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 17:32:27 +0000 Anonymous 1898891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your rocking it. &nbsp;Like the whole vibe. We have had a weird winter in Arizona this year also. &nbsp; Today it is windy, gray skies and looks like rain and only 65 degrees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898878 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 16:17:08 +0000 Jenn 1898878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am kind of on the opposite end of the spectrum from you. We haven’t had more than 5” of snow at once all winter, definitely not enough to give us any snow days or even late starts, and I’m sort of mourning winter as I look at a warm, sunny forecast. Hoping transitional weather, at least, sticks around for a while, and we don’t just barrel headlong into summer. </p> <p>That being said, this is a fab spring outfit, and I think it’s all down to the scarf sitting atop those minimalist essentials. You may feel like you’re forcing wears right now, but the color is great on you, and that thing is going to stay in your wardrobe for years and years, so just enjoy it and pull it out when the mood strikes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898875 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 15:45:01 +0000 Anonymous 1898875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>JAileen </b>- what a weird winter and spring it's been everywhere ! &nbsp; Thanks for the compliment - we are what we are, and life is too short to keep whining , isn't it?</p> <p><b>Sara, Janet, Bijou</b> - thanks for the kind words! &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Kerry</b> - i've started my Spring redecorating too. &nbsp;Teal, peacock blue, and citron-olive. &nbsp;Bits of pink here and there too.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LaP</b> - I totally agree about having some mid-weight winter-ish pieces in lighter colours for this in-between season. &nbsp;This top is actually a heavy cotton/wool blend and is quite cozy yet doesn't look like yet another winter sweater. &nbsp;The scarf is a funny creature; it's a very sheer, delicate silk chiffon and that, along with the colour, make it look spring-summer-ish. &nbsp;I got away with wearing my black one all year long because it was black (if you know what I mean) &nbsp;and always looked seasonally appropriate . &nbsp;I &nbsp;am planning on wearing the heck out of this blue one for the next month &nbsp;or so, and then retiring it until next spring. If budget ever allows, I'd like to get another black one. &nbsp; &nbsp;Today is going to be a navy day, and I"ll be wearing it again .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898869 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 14:39:16 +0000 JAileen 1898869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue, white and olive together. They’re good colors for you. I know you keep mentioning weight, etc., but you look great. </p> <p>We’re just now having some winter, after practically no snow all season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898863 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 14:22:23 +0000 Sara L. 1898863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look!&nbsp; Although maybe I say that because I could easily duplicate this outfit - except for the designer scarf.&nbsp; Sorry the color isn't working out as well as you had hoped.&nbsp; It looks lovely with this outfit.&nbsp; </p> <p>We've hit spring here which means wind - supposed to be gusts up to 50 mph this afternoon.&nbsp; That will be fun while I watch my son's first middle school soccer game. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898841 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 13:02:43 +0000 Janet 1898841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a perfect example of trans-seasonal dressing! You look gorgeous, and I'm glad to see you working that scarf even if it's not as easy to style as your old one. I like the coat better without the belt, so well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898840 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 12:58:50 +0000 kerry 1898840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fresh! I like the sounds of olive, navy, pale blue and white for an early spring capsule. I’m trying to eek out 2 more weeks from my deep winter capsule. I hope to change things over on the Easter long weekend when I’ll have finished the course I’ve been doing since January. It feels like a reward. I’ll change over living room/dining room decor too. I do this twice a year and just basically means changing throw pillows and tablecloth. It feels like a lift with the changing light.</p> <p>We’re on March break and I have the itch to shop but I’m trying the “make do” (for my daughter and myself) approach which is basically just shopping our closets. I’ve been doing some purging and prepping items in anticipation of a change to a cold spring capsule. I’m very analytical and enjoy numbers so I’ve finally decided to track my wears. I’m most of the way through cataloguing my wardrobe on the ClosetSpace app. It’s a good way to be reminded of what’s in my closet as I plan for a changeover and a good way to spend time on my closet without spending - scratch the itch so to speak. I’m also identifying orphans and trying to mentally create ensembles that will use them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898838 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 12:49:45 +0000 Bijou 1898838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is going on with the weather??? Where I live, we had the hottest day of the year on Monday, it is no longer summer, just hotter than summer. Really you should not have temps above 100F in Autumn. I sympathise with you having to deal with snow.</p> <p>This outfit is incredible on you. That scarf... You need to wear it with everything as it is 100% LisaP and beautiful. I also love the rest of the outfit, you look amazing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314/page/2#post-1898834 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 12:43:22 +0000 LaPed 1898834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great outfit! Olive and stripes -- love it. I've been making a concerted effort the past couple years to add some lighter/brighter knitwear for this transitional season, when it ought to be spring but there's still 2ft of snow on the ground. I think it's a necessary strategy in winter-dominant climates.&nbsp;</p> <p>I want to see the McQueen scarf with your darker winter clothes -- I bet there are ways to incorporate this into a moody tonal black+blue look and maybe you can extend its wear into deep winter that way... It's such a good colour on you, I feel like you could put it on with anything and it would be steal the show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898831 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 12:19:42 +0000 RobinF 1898831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this whole thing! I like the coat without a belt, and love the olive jeans. Looks great. I sure agree about the weather. It actually hasn't been a bad winter here in Michigan snow-wise, but I am ready for some spring clothes and it's not nearly warm enough yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898819 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 11:35:28 +0000 Zibbets 1898819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This whole ensemble is fab but those shoes are fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898774 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 06:00:12 +0000 Greenjeans 1898774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarf is GORGEOUS with olive coat both color and length-wise. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898761 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 03:57:10 +0000 gradfashionista 1898761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! Is this the scarf that Janet sent you? It looks great against your hair and complexion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898758 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 03:47:53 +0000 Jaime 1898758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your color palette looks perfect on you and I like the darker blonde hair. (Maybe it is the same but it looks darker to me in these pictures!) The best part for me is how you cut off the belt loops and threw away the belt. I might be brave enough for step one, but would be sorely tempted to save the belt anyway...for what? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898753 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 02:59:52 +0000 jussie 1898753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit. I particularly like those shoes to top it off . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898740 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 02:16:35 +0000 Windchime 1898740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your fab outfit is a much-needed breath of spring. I love how you styled your olive jeans with light colors. And the scarf is killer on you; it suits you incredibly well! Some splurges are worth it, even if they can be worn only a few weeks each year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898737 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 02:12:14 +0000 unfrumped 1898737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit! Olive, blues, cream are a fantastic transitional palette. I like the coat without belt too. Belting quilted stuff is fraught. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898736 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 01:42:00 +0000 Aquamarine 1898736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’ve inspired me to pull out my olive pants and olive booties...they’ve been on hiatus since we’ve been buried by snow. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898716 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 00:14:54 +0000 Style Fan 1898716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colours.&nbsp; Love the blue and olive together.&nbsp; Very fresh looking.&nbsp; Perfect for Spring.&nbsp; I like your system.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898715 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 00:08:59 +0000 Faith 1898715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I am so done with winter but the weather man says 5-8 more centimeters for us tonight!! Bletch! I just bought a pair of olive chinos yesterday and I love the shirt you paired with your jeans and of coarse I covet that scarf every time I’m on the Nordstrom’s website! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898711 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 00:03:20 +0000 Suz 1898711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great transitional outfit. I am with you on being <b>done </b>with winter, but like Chris said, we are getting lots of snow (Carla's lucky...Toronto's a different zone) and while we don't have the crazy winds we do have accumulation and I'm fed up with it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the blue scarf with the olive and this coat is the perfect transitional puffer weight. Heaven knows we need options in puffers, right?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898708 Wed, 14 Mar 2018 23:58:44 +0000 rachylou 1898708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your coat - the sleeves and length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898707 Wed, 14 Mar 2018 23:54:19 +0000 Carla 1898707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gah! The 14 day extended forecast seems to range 0-5deg.C with intermittent snow. So far anything we get seems to melt the next day, but it isn't warm enough for my spring coats. I've started a pile for the dry cleaners and no matter what the winter coats are going into that pile at the end of the month!</p> <p>I did a quick run around the gardens, but NOTHING was volunteering yet! Went back indoors and played in my closet. Actually did some reading on capsules, and re-read your post about your special rack (which is a brilliant idea, by the way). Then tried to put something together for the next 2 work days that wasn't black. </p> <p>I'm looking forward to seeing more combos from your spring capsule. The olive and blue is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pushing-spring-wiw-314#post-1898700 Wed, 14 Mar 2018 23:32:12 +0000 Helena 1898700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you ... Sooooo sick of snow and cold! Love this outfit. Looks springy, without being totally off against winter, if that makes sense. You can never go wrong with a stripe! </p>
