I love the 2015 version, but then I feel exactly the same about last years rendition too. As Suz said, they could see you through different settings as the second photo is a tad more casual. You do look fab in those soft light neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485905 Sun, 03 May 2015 14:41:47 +0000 Angie 1485905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your clutch is safe, Sue. I surrender. And think you need option #3 of the bags your linked to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485852 Sun, 03 May 2015 11:57:54 +0000 dakotacheryl 1485852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both looks. Number two is more casual. In number one, I think the cognac (brown?) belt really makes a great impact...and the booties and clutch are perfection... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485831 Sun, 03 May 2015 10:12:35 +0000 Summer 1485831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your updated outfit, Merwoman. &nbsp;That clutch is just gorgeous. &nbsp;Last year's version still looks good as well, though.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />You were very wise to break in those booties before a long wearing: It's so easy to be caught out by ignoring that strategy -ouch! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485827 Sun, 03 May 2015 09:52:15 +0000 Karin L H 1485827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both looks! But like some of the others have said, the first looks a bit more "finished", so I prefer that one. But you can definitely do both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485781 Sun, 03 May 2015 02:54:35 +0000 jackiec 1485781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outstanding. Love both. And the bags Angie posted are awesome too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485760 Sun, 03 May 2015 02:20:58 +0000 Sveta 1485760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Lake Como...then it is even fabber that you matched the shutters at LakeComo of all places!:-)<br />The only pale greay which more or less flattering for me is dove which has a purple undertone. Unfortunately this is a rare find in clothing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485759 Sun, 03 May 2015 02:19:14 +0000 Jaime 1485759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is super but I love #1! Wow! </p> <p>Also very interested in your and Angie's bag pics as I am suffering my periodic bag glut and trying to figure out what stays and what goes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485745 Sun, 03 May 2015 01:58:21 +0000 merwoman 1485745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We x-posted Sveta! Ah to be back with those shutters - a gorgeous little town by Lake Como. That's funny that pale grey doesn't work for you - because it seems to me you wear pale shades as well as the real brights to perfection. Perhaps it's the undertone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485743 Sun, 03 May 2015 01:51:36 +0000 merwoman 1485743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your kind&nbsp; words ladies!</p> <p>&nbsp;Lisa - I'm blushing, but have to confess you are seeing the best 'angle'. The side and back views are less than riveting :-)</p> <p>Those are gorgeous bags Angie&nbsp; - but perhaps you are just trying to get me to lower my guard...I've been thinking about these little lovelies...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485738 Sun, 03 May 2015 01:41:06 +0000 Sveta 1485738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both fab and current. Sue, you wear pale grey with the best of them! I so like this color with white - too bad it does not like me back.<br />You are even matching your shutters </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485708 Sun, 03 May 2015 00:53:42 +0000 Jean Gray 1485708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I may try to steal this look! Love your new peep toe booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485707 Sun, 03 May 2015 00:46:18 +0000 Karie 1485707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are gorgeous, but #1 is my fav. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485671 Sat, 02 May 2015 22:45:26 +0000 Angie 1485671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not to worry. I've made peace with it. You can keep your clutch. I shan't be stealing it. (Aren't I nice?)</p> <p>*smiling*</p> <p>I'm looking at these:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485645 Sat, 02 May 2015 21:53:20 +0000 Anonymous 1485645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - do you look GREAT in those white jeans! Not too many bodies can carry them off but you can- really nicely styled too with the new shoes. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485620 Sat, 02 May 2015 20:47:02 +0000 Staysfit 1485620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving both looks and I like the direction of your style shift. Looking forward to seeing more pics as things evolve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485614 Sat, 02 May 2015 20:16:06 +0000 merwoman 1485614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies! Several of you have commented that it is more polished, and I totally agree. I think my style persona is undergoing a slight shift from <b>Not-so-refined-androgynous-modern classic </b>to a <b>Somewhat polished androgynous modern classic</b>. So informative to look back, and to have the wise counsel of the fabbers.</p> <p>Still clinging to my clutch - you will let me know Angie when your order is in? ;-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485609 Sat, 02 May 2015 20:07:08 +0000 Ledonna N. 1485609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 it's the my preference and you look current I like the wrap/scarf very polished look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485605 Sat, 02 May 2015 19:57:15 +0000 texstyle 1485605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both versions - slight preference for #1 but would like it more without the scarf as it feels a bit heavy on top with all the light color and spring time temps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485566 Sat, 02 May 2015 17:13:51 +0000 Tanya 1485566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both versions, but the first one is stellar.&nbsp; I am also a fan of mixing old and new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485563 Sat, 02 May 2015 17:09:27 +0000 Angie 1485563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE outfit #1 especially. Totally killer. I like mixing old and new pieces too. Wooohoooo. Enjoy your Spring weather. </p> <p>A Matt &amp; Nat bag is next on my shopping list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485562 Sat, 02 May 2015 17:08:25 +0000 Anonymous 1485562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're both great and they both look totally current but for your own sense of evolution and the viewing pleasure of your friends and family, it's nice to reassemble the parts a little differently! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485560 Sat, 02 May 2015 17:02:23 +0000 Kirstjen 1485560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, as well, but I think #2 is more casual &amp; maybe less "finished" than #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485555 Sat, 02 May 2015 16:45:00 +0000 Elizabeth P 1485555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also really like them both.&nbsp; Talk about a lesson in how accessories totally change the vibe of an outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485554 Sat, 02 May 2015 16:37:16 +0000 Suz 1485554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoo hoo! Both outfits are completely fab for slightly different purposes. I like #1 because it is a bit more dressy to my eye with the sandals and clutch. But I also like #2 for a different occasion, like a park outing or walk with a friend.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-time-at-last#post-1485548 Sat, 02 May 2015 16:16:50 +0000 merwoman 1485548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's 19C today and I am busting out the peep toe&nbsp;booties for outdoor wear. Yee-haw!! &nbsp;I've been breaking them in by wearing them around the house, but now it's time for some short jaunts. I sized down in these to keep my heels from slipping out, so I've used some body glide (found some at The Running Room) on my toes and it seems to be working!</p> <p>One of the best lessons I've learned on YLF is to give my wardrobe a bit of longevity by incorporating new pieces with old. I'm sporting one of my favourite combos from last year - grey sweater with white skinnies (GAP) with new footwear, clutch and belt - pic1. Pic 2 is last year's rendition.&nbsp; Does it look current?&nbsp;Do you&nbsp;lovely ladies have a preference?</p>
