I wanted to comment that I really like you in those dangly earrings - you seem to mostly do necklaces (and boy, you do them well) but I love how the earrings look with your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67827 Wed, 27 May 2009 14:58:54 +0000 Laura 67827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't read any other comments and will be curious to see if the others loved your clams outfit as much as I did! I am totally copying you on that one - thanks for the inspiration :)</p> <p>Your black and white dresses are also fantastic. AND, you wear earth tones well too! Your new haircut is superb. That lighter color really suits you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67802 Wed, 27 May 2009 10:44:09 +0000 yublocka 67802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny as always I love browsing through your outfits. Your new haircut is great - love it with the cute clip.

Which look do you prefer: dress with boot cut jeans or skinnies?<br /> Tuesday: I love your short do! And polka dots always bring a smile to my face. Lovely dress.<br /> Friday: I adore this dress Shiny! Wow!<br /> Saturday (1): You really do have an amazing jacket collection. I like how you've paired this one with the green top.<br /> Saturday (2): You're always one step ahead of me;-) I have been wondering how my new voluminous top would look paired with a waistcoat. Your outfit is fantastic. Everything works so well together and the yellow bag is - again - the cherry on the pie.</p> <p>Oh and I don't think the barette is too young looking at all (love that last picture!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67566 Tue, 26 May 2009 15:44:39 +0000 shiny 67566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, you are so sweet! My DH will be flattered that you think he's so cute. He is a catch and I count myself very lucky. He's the one that keeps the smile on my face all the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67556 Tue, 26 May 2009 14:48:32 +0000 Anonymous 67556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, you look fabulous everyday. You are a knockout! I love your new hair cut and color. Your skin is radiant! That closeup shot is amazing. You wear the hair clip very well and should not worry that it would be too young at all. It looks like a good way to keep your hair controlled on a hot day.<br /> Your legs are killer and you look amazing in dresses. I love the black and dot one with the pearl necklace.<br /> In a previous post you mention weight gain, I absolutely do not see it. You look wonderful.<br /> Edit: Forgot to say the picture with your hubbie is so cute. I love that head of hair he has! Don't let me get close, I might have my hands all over that hair! It looks very inviting! (Do you have that problem when you take him around your friends? HaHa!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67551 Tue, 26 May 2009 14:40:54 +0000 Vani 67551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>shiny, yet another fab week! That citron cardi with the ATL black polka dot dress is plain yummy. The barette is such a cute touch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67545 Tue, 26 May 2009 14:08:00 +0000 shiny 67545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lwc, I'm saving the watercolor dress for the reunion this weekend!</p> <p>Angie - yes, I got my haircut this week. I'm afraid that my hairdresser overdid it on the highlights this time (he's convinced I can go Marilyn Monroe blonde, and I don't want to, but he doesn't really listen and instead goes with his "vision."). But it'll tone down with time. Right now it's lighter than DD14's hair, which to me is wrong: I like being right in between her hair color and DD16's. Both got their haircut this week as well - and look smashing!</p> <p>Ana, I do like my "uniform" look as well - but since it's getting hot now it's not so practical and I am forced into dresses. </p> <p>Bella, the black top is actually longer than it appears in that shot - I think it hiked up on me while I was posing. The green top is kind of a weird length, it's a little too long for skirts and not quite long enough for pants. Making matters worse, my stomach was all bloated out that day, so it hiked up even farther. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67504 Tue, 26 May 2009 06:05:17 +0000 devin 67504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny your outfits look fab! I especially love the vest with the clamdiggers, very nice! The pic with your honey is too cute, I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67489 Tue, 26 May 2009 03:34:04 +0000 Kari 67489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, the "tourist in our town" outfit is SO perfect. Wow! I may have to copy you. You look sweet all week! I especially love the ATL dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67475 Tue, 26 May 2009 02:35:26 +0000 Anonymous 67475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all! I also noticed your hair and especially liked it this week. Thank you for posting your inspiring ideas. I wish I had your dress collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67468 Tue, 26 May 2009 02:18:45 +0000 Ana 67468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the dresses! And I really like the black polka dot and yellow cardi. My favorite is probably the green top with the khaki blazer. I guess that looks the most like your style, but it's so nice to see you in some different outfits! The vest outfit is great, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67448 Tue, 26 May 2009 00:27:34 +0000 cciele 67448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the barrette and the whole Sunday look. So sweet and fresh -- you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67445 Tue, 26 May 2009 00:23:13 +0000 Angie 67445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you just had your hair done again, Shiny? Looks shorter and fabber! You and hubby are adorable :0)</p> <p>Super sweet dresses and I love the hair clip. Thumbs up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67418 Mon, 25 May 2009 19:43:59 +0000 taylor 67418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week. I'm feelin the love in the action shot </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67414 Mon, 25 May 2009 19:28:03 +0000 lwc 67414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it all, Shiny! Glad you're enjoying your dresses. Will "our" ATL watercolor floral sheath come out to play anytime soon. Hmmm???... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67411 Mon, 25 May 2009 19:18:37 +0000 tarzy 67411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All look great, as usual. I think the Sunday outfit is totally appropriate for you. I was bracing myself after reading your preamble, but when I clicked on the picture I was delighted! It's stylish and very "Shiny." (Can you please come to Los Angeles and take me shopping?!!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67398 Mon, 25 May 2009 17:03:37 +0000 Lena 67398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week, Shiny! I like all of your dress outfits; you look terrific in all of them. I also really like the Sunday outfit - I'll definitely try copying it It will be Maya-Shiny inspired. </p> <p>And the *action* shot put a huge grin on my face. Than you for making me smile this morning </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67382 Mon, 25 May 2009 15:28:05 +0000 Chris 67382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You make dresses look easy and fun. Love the polka dot with citron cardi - my fave of the week. </p> <p>I have had the same issue with BR tops and have taken to turning inside out to wash and then pull out of dryer half dry and hang for rest of dry time. Otherwise they seem to pull (esp. BR outlet stuff). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67378 Mon, 25 May 2009 15:20:05 +0000 bella 67378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are the queen of dresses!<br /> Do you think maybe Monday and Saturday outfits would look better with slightly longer tops? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67375 Mon, 25 May 2009 15:14:47 +0000 sinead 67375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all your outfits, Shiny. I know what you mean about worrying when your DD approves of an outfit- and says she would wear it. It always stops me in my tracks. But in this case I think you really do look age appropriate- much more put together than what the typical 16 yr old wears!</p> <p>And I have to say it- DH is a such a cutey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67364 Mon, 25 May 2009 14:35:47 +0000 Debora 67364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so fresh-faced and radiant in that last pic. Lucky girl!</p> <p>I loved all your outfits, but I must admit you knocked it out of the ballpark with all three dresses. Way to go!</p> <p>Sunday's outfit is my favorite. I love the combination of the silky blouse with the vest and clams. Beautiful!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67361 Mon, 25 May 2009 14:28:44 +0000 Kristen 67361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on this being the Summer of the Dress. It is for me too. I even have that great polka-dot ATL one; boy, that sold out fast! I don't think it was in the store or the website for even a couple of weeks. I loved that citron sweater with it; great color for you.</p> <p>I loved your week in total, of course, and I think the dress you wore with the jeans will look great with leggings too. Thursday's with the pearls and the pearls pattern repeated on the dress is adorable, and yes, leggings will work there too. :)</p> <p>Love Sunday's touristy outfit; you look cool and comfortable and stylish. The barrette is adorable AND appropriate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67355 Mon, 25 May 2009 14:10:03 +0000 De 67355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't really think Sunday's outfit looks "inappropriate" at all. Then again, I'm only 18 so I'm not the best person to comment!</p> <p>BTW, that "action shot" is just fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shiny-week-of-may-18#post-67351 Mon, 25 May 2009 13:47:11 +0000 shiny 67351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the whole album - pw is ylf2008:</p> <p><a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/week%20of%20may18/" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....f%20may18/</a></p> <p>The weather was all over the map this week, but as you'll see I wore dresses half of the time! I think this may turn out to be the Summer of the Dress for me. :-)</p> <p>1) Rainy Monday<br /> <a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/week%20of%20may18/?action=view&#038;current=weekofmay18002.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....y18002.jpg</a></p> <p>Inspired by the MOTG threads. This is one of my favorite simple cotton tops. It's BR. Unfortunately, it's not holding up so well to the dryer and is starting to pill. Worn with new necklace purchased at open studios. </p> <p>Tuesday - stuck in gear </p> <p>Wednesday - wore this dress-over-jeans outfit, but with skinny jeans - did not take another photo so you're stuck with this one:<br /> <a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/week%20of%20may18/?action=view&#038;current=weekofmay18003.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....y18003.jpg</a></p> <p>2) Thursday - ATL dress<br /> <a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/week%20of%20may18/?action=view&#038;current=weekofmay18008.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....y18008.jpg</a></p> <p>with bonus "action pose"...<br /> <a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/week%20of%20may18/?action=view&#038;current=weekofmay18007.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....y18007.jpg</a></p> <p>3) Friday - sheath dress. Purchased this at the end of the summer last year so this is the first chance I've had to wear it. Perfect for 90 degree heat! It looks cute with the leggings but it was much too hot for them.<br /> <a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/week%20of%20may18/?action=view&#038;current=weekofmay18017.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....y18017.jpg</a></p> <p>My tummy was enormous on this day - about 5 month pregnant's worth - but the busy pattern did a fair job of disguising that fact. I do not want anything tight around my waist when my tummy's bloated. </p> <p>4) Saturday - out and about<br /> <a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/week%20of%20may18/?action=view&#038;current=weekofmay18019.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....y18019.jpg</a></p> <p>5) Sunday - playing tourist in our own town (we had a blast)<br /> <a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/week%20of%20may18/?action=view&#038;current=weekofmay18020.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....y18020.jpg</a></p> <p>Sunday's outfit was sort of inspired by Maya's interview outfit! I came up with this combo on that day, but didn't get around to wearing it until yesterday. Does it work? Is it age appropriate? It got DD16's two thumbs up - she said it was something she would wear in a heartbeat, so that has me questioning. Also, this is the first time I've put a barrette in my hair like this:</p> <p><a href="http://s386.photobucket.com/albums/oo309/lookingfabat43/week%20of%20may18/?action=view&#038;current=weekofmay18021.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s386.photobucket.com/al.....y18021.jpg</a></p> <p>... does that work on me? I'm on the fence. I worry it's too young looking, but it was quite practical yesterday when we were out on the wharf in the wind. Kept my hair in place instead of blowing in my face. </p>
