The weather has done its typical spring 180, and it looks like shorts and sandals are the order of the day now. Always sneaks up on me. I started out with a skirt + tights + boots today (put together a very cute outfit for DS's school's Medieval Festival), and had to switch over to bare legs and sandals by the afternoon.</p> <p>Runcarla -- Thank you. A hard year for sure, but the bright side is that it's brought a lot of my old friends closer together.</p> <p>Sal -- Thanks, yes, I think you're absolutely right. Outfits with a little something active/dynamic to them, without being outright sporty, are definitely my happy place.</p> <p>suntiger -- Those warm/cool contrasts! I love 'em too.</p> <p>Firecracker -- Thanks! The high bun is remarkably practical, a new discovery for me because my hair never used to be long enough to do it.</p> <p>Helena -- Thank you so much.&nbsp;</p> <p>missvee -- I'm glad it comes across as cohesive! Shopping mostly secondhand and end of season clearance, it can feel like a bit of a hodgepodge at times, but I've gotten good at saying no to the things I don't absolutely love, and that makes a difference.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2324208 Wed, 24 May 2023 15:26:49 +0000 missvee 2324208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all such great looks. &nbsp;You express your style beautifully and your wardrobe is enviably cohesive! &nbsp;Love the longer hair too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2324167 Wed, 24 May 2023 12:53:35 +0000 Helena 2324167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Lisa said!</p> <p>I'm so sorry for your losses ... that is incredibly sad, not to mention disorienting and jarring for you ... sending love and hugs.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2324081 Tue, 23 May 2023 22:31:26 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2324081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>It's great to see you again and to see these fantastic outfits. I love your hair up. (Also down! but up is new to me.) That scarf looks so good on you--the colors and style seem a perfect match for you. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm sad to hear of your losses; such a lot of grief to bear in a short time. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2324080 Tue, 23 May 2023 22:21:13 +0000 Anonymous 2324080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back, but sorry about your losses :(<br /> Love the third outfit most, but the fourth too. I've been enjoying navy + dark brown too recently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2323955 Mon, 22 May 2023 21:00:49 +0000 Sal 2323955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely to see you La Ped - that sounds like a challenging year - very hard indeed.&nbsp; I share your climate anxiety - our weather here has been so dangerous and expensive and disruptive and devastating that it is all very real.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>You look great - my special favourite is the last one- it's very active and stylish and practical but has the gamine air I love on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2323951 Mon, 22 May 2023 20:25:40 +0000 Carla 2323951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love where your style is at the moment, but sorry to learn you’ve experienced some sadness and worry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2323948 Mon, 22 May 2023 19:57:36 +0000 Suz 2323948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Long time no see! Great to see you post again.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't get over your long hair. Amazing!&nbsp;</p> <p>Love that scarf in #1 and #4 -- I can see how versatile that would be. Also enjoying the textural mix and sympathizing with the need for a nano puff and layers! Also the desire to push it a little and wear a dress despite the freezing cold! It's hard when things light up to continue in the winter layers, yet if you put them away, you risk freezing your buns off.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2323936 Mon, 22 May 2023 18:21:48 +0000 LaPed 2323936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kate, I love my Thursday boots! I find them true to size and wouldn't say they run <i>super</i> wide, but they are roomier than some comparable models. The Christy Dawn lace-up boots were too narrow for me, as were Nisolo's. That said, I log most of my miles in barefoot/minimalist footwear with really wide toeboxes, and at this point I only wear the Thursday boots with tights or my thinnest socks, and typically not on days when I plan to walk a lot. I've actually contemplated purchasing the men's model for extra width.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2323934 Mon, 22 May 2023 17:33:22 +0000 kate 2323934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of your outfits, but especially #3 at the moment.&nbsp; Curious about your Thursday boots...it looks like they may run wide? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2323923 Mon, 22 May 2023 15:18:06 +0000 LaPed 2323923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! I am blushing. </p> <p>It's been a strange year for me. I lost two friends -- one close, one less so -- in March. One right before my 37th birthday and one right after. Both were close to my age. It's been a stark reminder of how temporary it all is, and how unpredictable. Coupled with deepening climate anxiety, it's been a recipe for stepping back from buying and embracing what I already have.&nbsp;</p> <p>LJP -- It means so much to hear this, thank you. &lt;3</p> <p>Jaime -- When I was working at three (!!) different schools, thrifting took a backseat, but during the pandemic I cut way back on my classroom obligations, and have finally achieved a work-life balance that allows me to browse thrift stores once again. It's great to get back to a hobby that had taken a backseat for a few years.</p> <p>Debbie -- Thank you!</p> <p>Elizabeth P -- Longer hair was one of my pandemic projects! It's been really fun growing it out. I took about an inch off in March, and sometimes contemplate going back to a short style, but am enjoying the wide range of options too much for the time being. </p> <p>Bijou -- both the dress and the jacket have had another outing since I took the photo. First to kiddo's piano recital, and then to a birthday brunch. </p> <p>jussie -- thank you! Never expected to move towards warmer colours, but it's happened very intuitively and organically.</p> <p>Olive Green -- pinterest-worthy is high praise indeed! </p> <p>kkards -- I've definitely been craving lighter browns to go with all my navy.</p> <p>CarolS -- I'm so pleased that these come across as authentic to folks! </p> <p>Joy -- thank you!</p> <p>Bonnie -- thank you. I had a lot of fun wearing both of those. </p> <p>Jenn -- Thank you! A big part of personal style, for me, is figuring out how I relate to environmental norms, and maintaining my sense of place and community. Every once in a while I feel like I've nailed it. &nbsp;</p> <p>Angie -- That linen scarf is a spring/fall superhero! The colours and pattern are just right. </p> <p>Roberta -- I find warm reddish-browns totally irresistible.</p> <p>Nikki -- Team Vest all the way!</p> <p>slim cat -- I'm really enjoying both the dress and moto, and I'm going to make an effort to play around with them more over the next couple of weeks while the weather is perfect for them. </p> <p>Dee -- Texture has been a big focus for me for a while; I'm glad it's working!</p> <p>Val -- thank you. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2323877 Sun, 21 May 2023 20:21:33 +0000 Val MN 2323877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the textures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2323874 Sun, 21 May 2023 20:16:40 +0000 Dee 2323874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great mix of thrifted items for a casual blend of textures and earthy colours.

It is lovely to see what you are wearing. These warm tones are beautiful on you. I love the vests, they really make the outfits and are great for adding warmth without excessive bulk. I hope as the weather warms up #3, the dress and leather jacket, get more wear, as it is gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-spring-wiws#post-2323810 Sun, 21 May 2023 03:18:29 +0000 Elizabeth P 2323810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great set of outfits, and nice to see you.
