Says who?! </p> <p>Despite having strong fears I would be covered with sticky jam finger marks within five minutes of putting them on in the morning, strangely enough, I have got heaps of wear out of them! Stain (nappy) soaker is my best friend, and honestly, they have come up like new time and time again. They feel so much cooler and fresher than black or darker coloured pants when it is hot and humid. (Not that I'm game to post a picture of me in them - I have a feeling that the length is an Angie fashion don't. Ooopsies. Oh well, you live, you learn...... :-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung/page/2#post-135583 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:39:46 +0000 cciele 135583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ROFL, Joy!</p> <p>I have two young kids but will be braving the white bottoms this summer. I got my white skinnies at the end of last season so we'll see how successful I am... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-135579 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:23:04 +0000 yublocka 135579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Joy your comment made me snort with laughter then!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-135430 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:37:51 +0000 Anonymous 135430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'm in that narrrow gap of time in life when kids are grown, no grandkids, no "monthly visitor" and hopefully a few years yet before incontinence sets in. Time to enjoy white bottoms while I can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-135427 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:31:29 +0000 Louise 135427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still not attempting white denim and i'm 29 with no kids! I'd most definately drop something down myself wearing them! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-135393 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:39:34 +0000 Tricia 135393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your pain, Julie. I'm not even going to attempt cream/white denim for at least a few years! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-135390 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:36:39 +0000 marianna 135390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL Julie, thanks for a chuckle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-135326 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 12:32:32 +0000 RoseandJoan 135326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A high of 44 degrees today and it feels toasty compared to the temp in February, my coral coat is definitely welcoming spring. I also wore cream jeans with my denim shirt at the weekend but they were soon covered in banana so are going back into hibernation for another year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-135307 Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:09:16 +0000 Louise 135307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When i first saw this i thought you were all mad i was still in my big coat then yesterday it was positively spring so i whipped out my patent heeled oxfords/ brouges and the turquoise jewellery. Think it might have been a one day wonder though as it's overcast today x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134909 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 05:31:27 +0000 marianne 134909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am struggling with this as well. It's low 40s in the morning , and then temps get over 60s during the day. Jeans and shoes with socks feel too heavy already, and it's only March, so I don't know what's the best way to layer at this point. And then of course I don't feel like I have things sorted out for spring yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134872 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 03:33:48 +0000 Theresa 134872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I feel the exact same, but opposite LOL</p> <p>On Sunday I woke up and felt like we were officially in Autumn! </p> <p>Its nice not to be sweating at 8am and hiding in the air con at 3pm, but I'm finding my wardrobe is fairly limited in what I will actually wear in public now because its still too warm to wear jeans or l/s tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134843 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:31:44 +0000 Queen Mum 134843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, and welcome back to California Marianna! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134842 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:30:22 +0000 Queen Mum 134842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll just have to borrow from Angie's closet ;-)<br /> I think the biggest hole in my spring wardrobe is in the shoe department. I think that I hesitate buying spring friendly shoes because I know that soon enough I'll be in sandals all summer. I have one pair of Me Too silver ballet flats that would work with alot of my stuff but I have to wear a bandaide on my bunion or they hurt. (lesson learned)<br /> I guess I should put off my summer shoe buy and invest in a spring friendly shoe in a fun color. this ought to be a fun hunt....</p> <p>sigh.... I hope you guys are able to put up with me over the next few weeks as I get my spring dressing in order. honestly, I could have gone 2 more months with winter, I was really beginning to have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134835 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 02:24:55 +0000 Maya 134835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your skin is probably tougher than mine Shana. I wore pumps for the first time last week and I was in agony when I got home, and as always, the back of my heels/ankles were bleeding and my last two toes felt crushed. </p> <p>I actually don't mind sandals. They hurt the soles of my feet a little but it's nothing terrible. It's the in-between footwear I can't stand. Luckily I have my Pikos now though! I keep waiting for all this stupid rain to end so I can give them their first real test run, and it looks like the rain is finally letting up tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134815 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:58:57 +0000 shana 134815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Maya, I am the opposite when it comes to shoes. My feet feel imprisoned all winter and I can't wait to set them free in sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134806 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:51:28 +0000 Carole 134806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want Angie's spring wardrobe and boot collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134804 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:48:38 +0000 Angie 134804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle*. This was fun to read. </p> <p>This is how I put the Spring back into my wardrobe (50 to 60 degrees): </p> <p>o Button downs (ahem...and denim shirt)<br /> o Blazers<br /> o Silk blouses with cardigans<br /> o Cobalt blue three-quarter sleeve retro coat<br /> o Cream trench coat<br /> o Dresses sans hose with boots (chestnut, white, cream and grey boots – no black)<br /> o White jeans<br /> o White camisoles<br /> o Bright cotton scarves<br /> o Apple green cowboy boots<br /> o Red booties<br /> o Extremely bright knitwear<br /> o Extremely bright handbags </p> <p>You don't need to wear bright colours. Wear which ever colours tickle your fancy. I happen to love bright, saturated colours so I wear them. But I also love black and white and wear that a lot too. Hope that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134787 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:27:52 +0000 Maya 134787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is how I felt last week. Luckily (ha) it got cold again, but it's going to warm up later in the week. As much as I love the weather, natural beauty, and the cheeriness of spring, I *hate* it as far as getting dressed. Having to break my sensitive skin back into regular shoes is always a horrible and painful experience, and the pain doesn't really go away completely until fall. I am just really prone to blisters. Even my wonderful Brulees give the soles of my feet blisters, but at least the straps don't cut or rub my toes.</p> <p>I like being able to wear jackets without a coat on top, but as soon as the jacket has to come off, I feel like my outfits just fall apart. I wish I had more standalone pieces instead of just having to layer all the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134786 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:24:53 +0000 shana 134786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim, Angie also did a great post last spring about adding "spring" accessories like a scarf, jewelry etc. You could probably stick with the tops/cardigans/denim jacket that you already have and switch out to flats instead of boots and add a spring scarf/jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134783 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:21:48 +0000 shana 134783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, we are supposed to hit 62 on Wednesday so woo hoo! I'm with Khris - I love spring because I can pull out all these great jackets that don't get much use otherwise. They're too bulky for me to layer under a coat in the winter and they're too hot in the summer. I haven't pulled out my white jeans just yet but I have been wearing my white cords and have been layering "spring" tops with cardigans &amp; my coat on cold days and with jackets on the warmer days. I'm not wearing sandals but have worn flats on the warmer days. It's really not warm enough for bare legs but dresses/tunics with leggings and flats would probably work well. I guess the key is layering! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134776 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:05:23 +0000 Queen Mum 134776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for some reason there is a big jump for me between winter and spring stuff. I'm not ready for bare legs or sandaled feet whatsoever, so that limits my options. I will probably be in jeans for a while, but I don't have the most inspiring spring top collection yet. plus the 30 degree difference between 8 am and 3 pm makes it hard too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134773 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 01:00:24 +0000 chellebrate 134773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you. It's 6 pm and 75 degrees at my house in the shade. Last week I would've dittoed what Khris said. However, this week it is officially too hot for boyfriend blazers, denim jackets, and moto jackets. I have a few new dresses, a couple skirts, and a new pair of sandals for spring and summer, but my legs aren't ready for that (at least in my mind.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134766 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 00:37:00 +0000 Tricia 134766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going crazy too. It's going to be in the mid-60s here and I was just getting into a tights- and layers-wearing groove! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134764 Tue, 16 Mar 2010 00:24:27 +0000 chewyspaghetti 134764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm actually loving the in between weather. It's given me the chance to embrace my boyfriend blazer and denim jackets worn with the sleeves pushed up, wear dresses with leggings, and layer light items. Spring is my favorite time of year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134752 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 23:55:46 +0000 marianna 134752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just landed in SJ and noticed an abundance of flip flips (ugh) and sandals... so crazy after seeing only boots in Chicago! I'm super excited for this weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134727 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:21:16 +0000 Misia 134727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big Time!!! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134723 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:08:01 +0000 cciele 134723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>heh, I can relate! I'm little bit north of you queenie, so we're only in the low 60s. But what a change from the windy and rainy weather we've been having! We have cold mornings (around 45), so that makes dressing in layers crucial. </p> <p>What I am wearing today: Cotton half-sleeve dress, cami, cropped leggings. Veronica slouch boots (might change for sandals later). Denim jacket. In the morning, a boiled wool jacket over everything, and leather gloves.</p> <p>I'm loving the sun!</p> <p>ETA: It's in the mid-70s now! Love that 30 degree temp difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134722 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:06:51 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 134722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The temp hasn't jumped that much in London, but it is a lot sunnier and there is blue sky, which brought on a mini dressing tantrum this morning when I realised that I didn't want to wear a black or grey coat or trench, but still needed that extra outer layer. Coloured trench here I come! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134720 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:02:49 +0000 MNsara 134720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - we had 64 degress yesterday, and it's 62 degrees today. or us that's seriously above average!</p> <p>I started out the day in jeans, light sweater, and moto. Ended the afternoon with moto in shopping bag and feeling wilted. But I am SO happy to not be wearing layers for warmth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung#post-134718 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:58:35 +0000 Beth 134718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same thing here! I'm so happy to see spring, but it always gives me fits deciding what to wear. </p>
