I love my dark denim jacket and my light chambray shirt, but I always end up returning any light denim jackets, though I've tried several over the years.</p> <p>Alasse - I do have a very deep olive green utility jacket and a white linen shirt very similar to the first one.&nbsp; </p> <p>Diane G. - I hope you are having great fun in London!&nbsp; Thank you for sharing some great items.&nbsp; I love the embellished tank and think it would look very cute under that textured moto jacket. I haven't been able to do leather cuffs though - I think they feel too "boho" or masculine or something for me. Most of my jewelry is a bit lighter in feel I think. I do wear an embellished wide leather belt often in summer.</p> <p>I can't believe how busy this week has been - it's been very hard to get back here to see the fun suggestions and to make comments - but it's really so fun. </p> <p>Thanks again to Alaskagirl for starting the QFOD!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle/page/2#post-1510479 Wed, 24 Jun 2015 15:56:45 +0000 Anonymous 1510479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tex, here are my contributions.

I also find I can wash mine on delicate and lay to dry.</p> <p>amiable - thank you - the dress is really cute. </p> <p>Joy - I really like that Trapeze tee - I need to try one of those on to see if it works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509973 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:58:39 +0000 Anonymous 1509973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texstyle, your style is inspiring. I am travelling this week and cannot do finds, so am browsing some in YLF Finds. The linen slouchy tee ( the first find, looks cool and casual with some polish. It is a V neck and looks breezy. The grey color may work too,and be different for summer.<br /> The other two finds also looked like candidates and come in some of your neutrals<br /> I will try come back to find other possibilities, but I understand the heat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509971 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:55:24 +0000 amiable 1509971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TexStyle - I love your style, and find that our lifestyle needs are rather similar. &nbsp;Summer is my non-dominant season, but last year I found that when it got really hot, what I wanted to wear was a casual summer dress. &nbsp;I also found that woven items are cooler than knit items.</p> <p>So I've chosen for you a casual summer dress, that's woven, and looks cool to me &nbsp;I almost chose a plain denim (tencel) dress, but I liked this print as something just a bit more interesting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509933 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 13:44:46 +0000 texstyle 1509933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my! So many kind words and beautiful things. YLF is <b>so </b>great.&nbsp; I am having a really busy work period right now (trying to interview, hire and start up another aspect of the company) but I've looked at each item at least briefly so far.</p> <p>Kiwigal - those are really cute sandals and the perfect color for bookending for me too.</p> <p>suz- you are so right on as I've considered each of those items you have shown here on your own WIWs. Especially the mesh sneaks and the bracelets because as you noted, the bold contrast on the Loft tee made me hesitate to try it. But I still might! I'm glad I've been at least a little inspiration to try accessorizing - I enjoy the "art" of it so much.</p> <p>pil - that is a very cool top - love the hemline and breezy look to it. I can always use a few more dressier sleeveless tops.</p> <p>Wendi1984 - really cute linen pants and sandals!</p> <p>Deborah - I love how you made an outfit for me with white and black! It is something I would actually wear too - I could do high contrast on my feet.</p> <p>caro - I'm so glad you felt I was helpful to you in your own summer wardrobe - you always look fantastic so I will certainly be looking at the Tandem line as inspiration (not sure I could get it here in the states).</p> <p>annabelle - anyone who has lived in Texas knows the heat challenge - and that is a perfect sleeveless top for our summers. Temptation...</p> <p>firecracker - those look really cute in white - hmm, wonder if they could withstand the dust - of course this year it's been rain and more rain.</p> <p>deb - that is a lovely dress and sandal combo - I can feel the beach when I look at it.</p> <p>Echo - really great on trend culottes - love this idea!</p> <p>alaskagirl - those are fantastic sandals - not too high heeled and in a great netural for me too.</p> <p>Aubergine - love the color of that top - and you're so right, it would be able to cross seasons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509930 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 13:32:49 +0000 Peri 1509930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm choosing this for you, because I so sympathize about the heat and humidity. I have it in red and it is light and breezy and really working for me this summer. The navy color shown here is sold out but they have it in a nice olive and in cream....I would worry the cream would be too sheer because it is so light. It isn't exactly classic cut, but but clean and simple, so maybe okay.</p> <p>There was discussion earlier about them not standing up to washing, but I just washed mine in the machine on handwash setting in a lingerie bag and hung to dry and it did very well.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509909 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 12:34:16 +0000 Anonymous 1509909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texstyle, I found a simple and breezy knit top in a nice deep wine shade for you.&nbsp;Hope you like it! The pattern gives it a little extra interest and I liked how you can wear this now, but the color scheme also makes it a good option for days later on where the calendar says fall but it still feels like summer -- something I'm sure you get a lot of where you are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509814 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 05:12:17 +0000 catgirl 1509814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Miz Mooz sandals are so comfortable that these caught my eye for you!&nbsp; Love the heel and the fun strappy style which I think would work with shorts or skirts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509803 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 04:01:46 +0000 Deborah 1509803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro thanks for the feedback on those jeans. &nbsp;I am hoping to buy them later in the week providing the fit is good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509793 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 03:25:09 +0000 Echo 1509793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I honestly think Texas weather would kill me. You're a stronger woman than I am to be able to withstand the heat! I immediately thought of items like these cropped culottes in a neutral colour and cool linen. <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.poetryfashion.com/product-VB23/linen-culottes.htm">http://www.poetryfashion.com/p.....lottes.htm</a></p> <p>And while this may violate a rule of volume on volume, snug just doesn't work for me in the summer. So I would suggest a cool, light coloured top to pair with them to keep the breezy, summer look (though not tied as shown in the photo!).<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.poetryfashion.com/product-VB25-POATT/tshirts-tops/linen-tshirt.htm">http://www.poetryfashion.com/p.....tshirt.htm</a></p> <p>To complete the outfit, I would add strappy sandals to add visual interest, and perhaps a little accent of colour with a bracelet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509792 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 03:07:33 +0000 deb 1509792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These items said Texstyle to me so they jumped into my finds. Brunch, lunch, dinner or have a glass of wine by the pool. Enjoy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509784 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 02:43:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1509784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texstyle, I really like your casual style. You always have that effortless, stylish look. I just got these pants this season from Loft and really like them. I could see you wearing them. I got the cream color; I like that they are not too see-through for me. They come in a nice olive color, too, which you might like even better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509783 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 02:43:02 +0000 Suz 1509783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro, those are gorgeous clothes!! Can you source them in Australia? I would be interested in finding some...I'll bet in winter they would have lovely woolens, too?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509782 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 02:39:16 +0000 annabelle 1509782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your colors ring familiar for me, and I read no further than "hot climate" to know exactly what to bring you, having grown up in Texas, myself.&nbsp;</p> <p> I like a sleeveless top with a collar, for when you need to take it up just one notch, or when you've gotten too much sun on your neck having overindulged on a summer day. This little blouse is airy and comfy; it is cotton so it comes pre-wrinkled, right out of the box. And it's on sale, texstyle! It's a solid color so it matches almost everything. I like it with light colored denim crops and a fun and open chunky heeled sandal.</p> <p>p.s. I think I saw this in Finds from Nordstrom in white, too, but for you (and me), I love it in this old school military green.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509780 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 02:23:42 +0000 Caro in Oz 1509780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the coated pants Deborah linked to - they are lovely, really soft &amp; &nbsp;easy to wear.</p> <p>Texstyle, you are one of the people who really helped me put together a functional summer wardrobe - thank you :)&nbsp;I have bought some linen clothes from the brands you suggested &amp; have been so happy with them. </p> <p>Last summer I found this company - the clothes are not cheap but the linen is up there with the best I've ever worn.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.tandem.eu/en/company.html">http://www.tandem.eu/en/company.html</a></p> <p>Sorry&nbsp;it's an Italian company so I can't seem to link to a find.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/qfod-texstyle#post-1509770 Tue, 23 Jun 2015 01:58:41 +0000 Deborah 1509770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I wanted to some Aussie brands with you:)</p> <p>Texstyle, here is an outfit that might suit you:) &nbsp;Im going for casual but stylish:)</p> <p>Grey Wax Coated jeans - Suzanne Grae<br />Zen High Low Layer Top in Cream - Metalicus<br />Wrangler Ankle Boots - RMK<br />Chelsea Necklace - Liberte</p> <p> </p>
