The gold sweater just adds a little pizzaz ;). I understand the frustration, am in Northern NJ and, while, it's not that cold as in Ontario, we still have snow on the ground and temps hovering around 35 degrees.. I am so ready to put the winter layers away, would love some nice spring weather to wear blazers and jackets but we usually get almost an overnight switch from winter to humid and blistering summer lol. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-884498 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:23:35 +0000 pil 884498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are looking fabulous. I remember how you were frustrated with your closet not all that long ago. I'm so envious of the progress you have made! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-884465 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:05:25 +0000 Tina.b 884465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mona, I so hear you, I am totally over winter! We still have several feet of snow outside, and I'm so tired of dressing in winter gear. Love how your style has evolved. All the outfits are great and I especially love #6. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-884449 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:57:59 +0000 Angie 884449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *happy dance*<br /><br />(Spring in Seattle feels like Winter too so I can empathize).<br /><br />Mona, I am THRILLED you sorted this out. You have reaped the reward and look KILLER in your outfits. I have a special love for #4 and #6! Well done!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-884056 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 11:19:30 +0000 Mona 884056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you, Day Vies, Ceit, Aida, Raisin, Karie and merwoman. rachylou, it is the same sweater in #2 and 4. I am happy that a lot of you ladies like this sweater. Firecracker, these posts from Angie are one of the most useful lesson I have learnt on YLF. Thanks, kellygirl. I really appreciate your feedback. Jules, let us see you rocking the white denim jacket. Thank you, Shevia and Tracey. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883995 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 06:22:21 +0000 TraceyLiz65 883995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great insights on how to keep yourself warm yet embrace the spirit of Spring! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883924 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 03:22:44 +0000 Jaime 883924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your outfits and adding more white is a great idea for a cold spring look. #6 is stunning! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883846 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 02:12:48 +0000 Jules 883846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ And you look so happy and confident! Great outfits, great lessons. Some I should learn myself. It's hard for me to jump ahead into spring when it's still winter in TO but you make it look natural. I suppose I can get out my white denim jacket too!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883832 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:59:07 +0000 kellygirl 883832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ All of these look so fab! I love how you are dressing for spring in winter clothes. The citron, the breton stripes, the white and gold--so fresh and pretty. I can see how this must make winter more bearable--especially when it is so long up your way. You have a great sense of style--so polished and pretty in all of these! I think that citron tipped blazers is one of my favorite pieces. SO fun!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883814 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:39:27 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 883814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look gorgeous in all of these outfits. I am impressed with your injection of Spring color into styles that are still warm, and with your different mixes with some of the same items. Thanks for linking to those great posts from Angie, too--definitely worth revisiting about now!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883812 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:37:52 +0000 merwoman 883812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So many great looks!! I love you in stripes - that b/w striped sweater is awesome on you - particularly like it paired with the orange scarf. And the green sweater is gorgeous!! Bring on Spring! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883773 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:16:15 +0000 Karie 883773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Winter here in upstate NY also keeps going, and going, and going (and I wish it was going, going, gone!).&nbsp;I like that your outfits center around spring colors, yet you are still able to keep warm. Numbers 2 and 4 are my favs, love that green shirt! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883735 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:56:17 +0000 Raisin 883735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh you are so right, winter here is long, boring, and it <i>draaaags</i>. &nbsp;Love your Spring-y outfits. &nbsp;1 and 2 are my favorites, but they all look great! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883641 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:10:22 +0000 rachylou 883641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's really nice to see all the pics in a row. You see how it really is all coming together. I love #4... and it took me a couple to realize that's the same shirt in #2... unless it isn't of course. Lol. But that's success when you can use the same piece in so many different ways!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883638 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:09:40 +0000 Aida 883638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I hear you Mona! It stays wet and cold for a long time here in the PNW, too. You are doing a fabulous job of looking springy-but-still-warm. I like that you've got at least one springy element in each of these looks; it helps give the sense that you're moving forward seasonally, but not so far forward that it doesn't make sense for your weather. LOVE that gold sweater on you in #6, that's such a fun piece. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883623 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 23:44:02 +0000 Anonymous 883623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great job of injecting spring while dealing with winter like temps! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883612 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 23:32:47 +0000 Day Vies 883612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #6 is my favorite. I love that gold sweater! All of these looks are springlike but I can see that they also keep you warm. Inspiration for my late winter blues -- thank you! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-wiws-and-what-i-have-learnt-since-last-spring#post-883566 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:52:37 +0000 Mona 883566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Changing weather always brings new challenges for our wardrobes. Last year this time, I was just miserable about my clothing choices. Spring is very cold in eastern Ontario and being a person who is very cold generally does not help. For past couple of years, I start feeling thoroughly bored and frustrated with my wardrobe sometime around mid-February. &nbsp;( reading YLF, I have now realized I am not alone in this). Winters are long and cold here and I get tired of wearing the same clothes for 4-5 months straight.&nbsp;<br />Two posts from Angie opened up my eyes to new options.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/11/04/preparing-your-wardrobe-for-cold-spring-weather/">http://youlookfab.com/2009/11/.....g-weather/</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/19/how-to-wear-spring-trends-in-winter-weather/">http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/.....r-weather/</a>&nbsp;<br />So this year, I knew exactly what I was looking for while shopping for spring. Warm clothes in bright springy colours with a dose of white in the outfit.&nbsp;<br />I am so happy to report that I feel satisfied and energized by my spring wardrobe so far. My shopping list is not complete. I still need a pair of light coloured booties/shooties/hi-top sneakers and a trench coat. ( I probably won't be able to buy these items anytime soon due to an unexpected dental procedure and a potential upcoming trip to Florida in summer but i am happy with where my spring wardrobe is right now and am enjoying the slow process of updating my wardrobe. Once again, big thanks to Angie and YLF. I am feeling so much more confident and happy with myself.
