The shorts are going back. I am sort of between sizes, and also I think the navy is not what I need for this item. I am not using them as working “ City shorts” but they would definitely be summer, and casual, and I do better with colors that can blend shorts, bare legs and footwear with more typical summer palette for me. This has been quite helpful- thanks to Fabbers. notsaf on "Some new, some old, some maybe" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-some-old-some-maybe#post-2136774 Tue, 04 Aug 2020 13:30:58 +0000 notsaf 2136774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 1 + 6 are my favs! nemosmom on "Some new, some old, some maybe" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-some-old-some-maybe#post-2136766 Tue, 04 Aug 2020 12:28:51 +0000 nemosmom 2136766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree that something is off about the shorts. The rest look comfy and perfect for life these days!

The shorts definitely look too big, or just too much dark fabric for the length. Thought about ordering the Flow pants, but was going to wait for cooler weather. They're already gone in the M though Minaminu on "Some new, some old, some maybe" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-some-old-some-maybe#post-2136753 Tue, 04 Aug 2020 11:40:59 +0000 Minaminu 2136753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fab outfits! that skirt is a real workhorse! rachylou on "Some new, some old, some maybe" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-some-old-some-maybe#post-2136734 Tue, 04 Aug 2020 06:45:23 +0000 rachylou 2136734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are nice! The shorts do look long/big to me... I like the style of the pink tee with them, tho, if not that tee in particular.

They look great on you. I quite like the plum joggers too. I'm waiting on a smaller size in the Flow With It pants and hoping they'll work for me.

Love the harem pants on you!

I still have the shorts in the smaller suze( they are still looong)- an I was going to just keep because we’re “ last one “ but I thought might be too unforgiving so the size 6 briefly appeared, I ordered and this are them. I might try the size 4 on again. Or move on.

LOVE those, unfrumped. Fabulous styling too. Excellent for your new Summer lifestyle. WELL DONE.  The long shorts look a little big - no?  (Try using Chrome as your browser.

So can still be a HEWI! kellygirl on "Some new, some old, some maybe" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-some-old-some-maybe#post-2136693 Mon, 03 Aug 2020 22:43:38 +0000 kellygirl 2136693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That makes sense about the rise if the waist is too big. The shorts almost look like the skirt and shorter version of the harem pants! Maybe they are a duplication and you could wait until you find something perfect. Maybe even a different color to expand the capsule? I love the skirt in all iterations btw. So versatile! unfrumped on "Some new, some old, some maybe" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-some-old-some-maybe#post-2136692 Mon, 03 Aug 2020 22:22:42 +0000 unfrumped 2136692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ kellygirl, thanks! You may be right about shorts ride. I went back fif this larger size when if popped back in stock, because the smaller one was a bit snug in the seat, but this waist now is too big and ideally should be tailored. So they are sagging a bit low even with belt. So, not sure if these are too much trouble for the type of wear I would get from them. Was thinking I’d try something different, but they are noun my usual or even best kind of shorts look. kellygirl on "Some new, some old, some maybe" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-some-old-some-maybe#post-2136689 Mon, 03 Aug 2020 22:07:52 +0000 kellygirl 2136689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really love the skirt and both new joggers or soft pants. I like the idea of the long, loose shorts but am not sure about the rise on these. I'd like them to look a little higher. It may just be me--and noticeable because of the belt. The skirt with the matching blouse does look like a two piece dress. I LOVE it. 4/6/5 are my faves of the lot but this is a fab capsule--so cohesive and polished! unfrumped on "Some new, some old, some maybe" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-new-some-old-some-maybe#post-2136679 Mon, 03 Aug 2020 20:15:44 +0000 unfrumped 2136679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I did go ahead with some items in the past couple of months that I thought would work with casual wardrobe.  A few online, at real Athleta store, and inexpensive items at TJMaxx. So much for waiting out the pandemic. First  1-5 is the N &Z flippy skirt in black linen that Angie asked for pics of. --Shown first with Uniqlo top in HEWI color of gray-blue, not targeting so much for the skirt but maybe can see the skirt style. Uniqlo had these tops on sale and the color is good for near-neutral, quiet neutral that is not so severe as black and navy. I may get the navy. --Old WHBM shirt to give more preppy vibe --very inexpensive TJMaxx extended shoulder top to give a 2-piece dress look. Gives a similar look to Uniqlo top so not likely to get that one in black. --with white linen jacket which does crease, I broke my resolve to not buy light-colored linen, as it is just so lightweight and summery -- with TJM top that is a bit unusual for me as it is cropped with a waist tie, but I like it as a   cotton knit short sleeve top with a bit of structure due to sleeves and buttons. Can semi-tuck the front and ties.  --Lastly with graphic T.  I am not a big wearer of casual skirts or dresses, so did all these tryons to see if would be versatile. Next pic 6 is the Athleta sort of harem pants that Angie featured.  Perhaps should have waited for a sale as maybe it will be an ongoing item. But I am wearing them a lot around home now. Very comfy. Shown with the same  TJM short tie waist top  --7, 8 & 11 a kind of track pant/jogger from TJMaxx activewear section, in a plummy color, with a tonal T, old gray knit blazer I still love, old oxfords. These softer neutrals and near-neutrals are a goal for at least a kind of capsule. Shown also with an old Zara metallic Tshirt I want to find more times to wear. --9-10 --what I might or might not keep. Loooong navy shorts from Nordstrom. Typically I like to wear lighter colored shorts for less severe contrast, but then mostly with untucked tops. For tucking there is advantage to dark colors, more forgiving in rear view. The leg width is pretty full. But I do not like the tight leg  Bermuda shorts look as is common especially with denim--I need room around the thigh, but maybe these are too much? . I think they are too long since not truly a culotte, and I thought I did a photo with hem turned up but maybe not. So thinking about if keep them, would need  to hem about an inch so just at top of knee, more like the stock photo.  I can't save the Find as YLF keeps telling me to be logged in even when I am. Or maybe they are just too much shorts ? Also in Finds, Boden striped top I am trying a 3rd size in, then giving up. Runs small. The pink T did not work, not cut for me, looked very plain also. Comments and suggestions welcome.
