The brand is Andrea Jovine. &nbsp; Agree that it's a great motif...I had some slip on sneakers earlier in the spring with pineapples all over them that were adorable but I could not justify the $$. (shown below...and they are on sale now in some places) &nbsp;I developed a real love of pineapples after visiting the Dole Plantation in Hawaii a few years ago...they run a&nbsp;pretty commercialized tour but it was fun and they had a humongous gift shop with Pineapple-motif stuff of every type and description. Unfortunately I can't eat it raw because the&nbsp;enzymes act like acid in my mouth </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1680309 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 02:43:27 +0000 Colette 1680309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Pineapple tee alone and with the cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1680299 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 02:11:33 +0000 Anonymous 1680299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie here . Pineapples are trending right now in home decor / accessories too - a really cute motif . I think I need a pineapple tee too ! Where is it from ? Or did you mention that and I missed it ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1680286 Fri, 17 Jun 2016 01:43:28 +0000 Joyce B 1680286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfits, I particularly love the pineapple ones with the strappy sandals but all are very nice. Your gray capris look very nice and comfy as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1680095 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 19:38:54 +0000 Chris987 1680095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for the thoughtful responses. The beige top is getting multiple yays/nays which is really interesting...... </p> <p>Thanks <b>Bonnie, Shedev, delurked, BC,</b> and &nbsp;<b>Momo</b></p> <p><b>Sara</b> that beige top is challenging, and the variety of yays/nays seems to confirm that. I can wear camel and white but anything in between is a guess... sometimes good and sometimes looks awful. I have not figured out the formula. </p> <p><b>Carter</b> I seem to frown sometimes for no reason...it's not the sweater I think I was concentrating on trying to take a decent selfie. You are a yay vote on the beige top and are right that jewelry and makeup can make a big difference.&nbsp; </p> <p><b>Staysfit</b>, agree with all your comments about fit,&nbsp;it's just not that great. </p> <p>Thanks<b> Angie, </b>&nbsp;you are one of the yay votes for the beige top and agree with <b>Shedev</b> on how to style it. </p> <p><b>Jaileen</b>, thanks, you are a nay&nbsp;vote on&nbsp;the beige top. Flat shoes - if you mean the blue perforated ones yes I do wear them quite a bit and they are super comfortable. And thanks for the EB sweater pointer. </p> <p><b>Vix</b>, good point about the fit on the beige top seeming off...I agree and it's quite strange given that the same one in ink fits pretty well. I actually do have that sweater in grey so will have to think about whether I want to keep the black one too. I'm thinking I will wear them more with my new casual lifestyle. And yes it is work, but I'm having fun too, thanks for the encouragement! </p> <p><b>Suz</b> agree with your comments on the sweater. You are a yay vote on the beige top. I&nbsp; agree that FS shoes can be really comfortable, but need to have a hard talk with myself about these sandals.&nbsp;After trying them on, the heel really does seem a bit too high but I at least wanted to get the right size before I decide. </p> <p><b>RobinF</b>...yes you hit the nail on the head, this beige may be too pale. I collected the Antro long sleeve top below a while ago, it is long since sold out but I'm thinking the colors are better than plain beige. The sleeveless one is another color scheme that I think I'd like. </p> <p>So, in conclusion, I need to&nbsp;decide&nbsp;if I really want this beige top as a duplicate for the ink one. I'm leaning toward returning it. And need to decide on the black sweater. Definitely keeping the dark grey T and the pineapple shirt :-)&nbsp; and returning the light grey T.&nbsp;THANKS SO MUCH ALL!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1680036 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 17:02:26 +0000 RobinF 1680036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another thumbs up for the pineapple tee, it looks fun on you. I like the black sweater and the shoes all work really well. I'm also unsure about the gray and beige tees. I think you need stronger colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1680005 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 16:05:13 +0000 JAileen 1680005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking at this cardigan from Eddie Bauer. It might work for you if you decided against the other one. </p> <p><a href="http://www.eddiebauer.com/product/women--39-s-7-days-7-ways-cardigan/21003410/_/A-ebSku_0106005363000030__21003410_catalog10002_en__US?showProducts=&#038;backToCat=Sweaters&#038;previousPage=GNAV&#038;tab=women&#038;color=363" rel="nofollow">http://www.eddiebauer.com/prod.....;color=363</a></p> <p>I was hoping it would go on sale, but it hasn't so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679995 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 15:49:40 +0000 Suz 1679995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pineapple tee -- home run!! &nbsp;It makes you smile so it is perfect. :)</p> <p>I really like the shape of the Bobeau sweater on you. I might look for it in a different colour -- as <b>Vix</b> says, the black seems rather strong/ overwhelming. It comes in many, many colours I think. I have been considering one for years for my at home capsule and may finally get one at this year's NAS. Cozy.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am with <b>Vix</b> and <b>Carter</b> in thinking you can wear that beige surprisingly well. It's quite sophisticated. But if it doesn't please you, don't keep it. I was the one who suggested a light colour (to work with your light bottoms) but if the colour does not make you happy, then trying one of the higher contrast brights might be a better bet. That can be a fantastic look as well. The shape of the top is lovely on you, really, though I agree the blue seemed to fit a bit better (as often happens, alas..).&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not crazy about the fit of the light grey tee.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love those sandals and was considering them for myself as well (in red or blue) but held off due to the heel height. But Franco Sarto is often very comfy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679964 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:50:25 +0000 Momo 1679964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pineapple tee is fantastic ! I really like #2 and 4<br /> I definitely<br /> prefer the black cardigan open </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679956 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:36:40 +0000 Anonymous 1679956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love the pineapple tee and the sandals. Outfit #1 is my fav. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679955 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:35:53 +0000 Vix 1679955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Chris --</p> <p>Love the pineapple T. I like that the graphic reads somewhat muted (not sure if it's a blue, black, or grey but I see you *and* the shirt vs just the T).</p> <p>The tan sandals are lovely and seem versatile; hope the sizing switch does the trick.</p> <p>I like the darker grey T on you; cute styled as-is.</p> <p>I have slightly more love for the beige top than others because I think you're one of the few who can wear this shade pretty well. But yes, the fit seems off compared to the ink version (common, annoying!). I'd probably look for a different top in a similar color -- maybe a little *more* of a beige or tan than oatmeal and see how that goes?</p> <p>Things I'm not loving: <ul> <li>the lighter grey T (fit as mentioned, and then it doesn't seem to meld with your skintone from what I see of your upper chest)</li> <li>the black cardigan (the amount of fabric as you mentioned combined with the black seems to overwhelm -- perhaps look for the style in a muted navy, gray, or a color-color you like?)</li> </ul> Impressive that you're chugging through this diligently -- I find building up a wardrobe even a season at a time definitely tries one's patience!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679952 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:30:28 +0000 JAileen 1679952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your sweater. I don't think it overwhelms. I like the top with the chiffon hem. I'm not sure about the color, though. That might be just me, though. I really love the flat shoes. They look like they might become workhorses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679940 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:21:23 +0000 Angie 1679940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 and #4 are home runs to my eye, Chris. Fashionable, interesting, good fits, and well put together. Nicely done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679935 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:13:59 +0000 Anonymous 1679935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pineapple tee is my favorite too. Casual, but fits really nicely. Agree with others gray tee looks snug at middle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679934 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:13:40 +0000 shedev 1679934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pineapple top. I like the chiffon hem top a little better with the blue jeans. The light grey looks a little tight around your mid section. It might be that the pants flap sticks out a bit so I'd try with another bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679928 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 13:58:39 +0000 Staysfit 1679928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pineapple tee. I have seen a lot of pineapple prints this season. I love the black cocoon sweater. It's nice that you can wear it closed or opened. I am not a fan of the beige color top. I agree with you that it's length is awkward. I think the idea of a peplum or ruffle is nice but maybe not a thin narrow one right at that point. It has the effect of drawing a wide horizontal line. It also looks like it stops right at your crotch which I think is awkward especially in the column of color photo. It looks that way on the model also though so it might be designed to fit that way. You have a beautiful narrow waist. We can see that when you are wearing the dark grey tee which I think looks fabulous. I am not sure about the length of the light grey tee in front. I think it might look better if it was a bit shorter. I'm interested in what other people have to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679924 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 13:42:47 +0000 carter 1679924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pineapple top! I also really like the cardigan, but it looks like it makes you frown...not good. I think the beige top looks nice with your coloring. I do find sometimes that all it takes is a statement necklace, a fun pair of earrings or a swipe of lipstick to make those pale neutrals come to life.</p> <p>#6 is my least favorite, and I think you hit on why...it does seem a bit too long for a thin fitted top.</p> <p>Killer outfits...#1 and #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679919 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 13:33:26 +0000 Sara L. 1679919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pineapple tee - so fun and summery.&nbsp; The rest of your items are flattering and useful.&nbsp; Your shoe choices are interesting and modern.&nbsp; I'm not sure about the beige top.&nbsp; I like the column of soft colors but I'm not sure beige is a very flattering color.&nbsp; Maybe that's my own bias showing - beige looks like death on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679914 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 13:18:11 +0000 Bonnie 1679914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've chosen some great neutrals. I like outfit #1 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-purchases-feedback-welcome#post-1679912 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 13:12:11 +0000 Chris987 1679912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a big wardrobe hole in the casual t-shirt department, so bought a few. The beige top is a possible duplication. Tan heeled sandals are a basic item&nbsp;I've been looking for several weeks. Black sweater is one I think I'd get a lot of wear out of year round and was on sale.&nbsp; The cargos are my version of shorts for this summer.</p> <p>As always would love to hear your comments and suggestions.&nbsp; </p> <p>1. <b>pineapple t-shirt</b> - reminds me of the Rolling Stones "tongue" logo. I realized I do not own a single white t-shirt except the very thin ones I use for layering under sweaters in winter. Not a huge priority but I found this one and really like it. &nbsp;</p> <p>2 + 3 <b>Black cocoon sweater </b>open and closed; I like this style, it's very soft and comfortable, &nbsp;but always wonder if it's a bit too much fabric for me. </p> <p><b>Beige top</b>; I have this top in ink and am trying this duplicate in "stone wall". I have worn the ink one with white jeans and regular jeans. <br />4&nbsp; Don't like the high contrast in this one<br />5 liking the lower contrast better&nbsp; but maybe not loving it...seems to accentuate the widest part of my body even with the "column of color" styling. Also trying some light tan heeled sandals....the heel is quite high on these but they are 1/2 size too big so will try the next size down.&nbsp;Other than the heel height, these shoes feel wonderful on...suede straps are very soft. &nbsp;</p> <p>6 <b>pale grey t-</b><b>shirt&nbsp;</b>with <b>blue cargos</b>...looks better on than pic shows but not sure about the overall look, the tshirt seems a little too long<br />7 &amp; 8 <b>darker grey t-shirt</b>&nbsp; with <b>light grey cargos</b></p>
