On the prowl--so funny.&nbsp;<br />@sarah: So nice to "see" you. Thank you!<br />@lyn: Thank you! haha. I doubt I'll ever be a champion but as long as I'm having fun, I don't care.

Drape dress with the jean jacket is maybe my fav ❤️ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2021884 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 13:09:06 +0000 Jenn 2021884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, you look great in all of these. Transitional is your season! My son is 18 too. When I tried on a pair of leopard Chelsea boots a few months ago, he asked me if I was “on the prowl.” Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2021787 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 05:35:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2021787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic, Kelly! All of these outfits show your chic casual style. They are modern, hip, and elegant. #s2 and 5 are super stand-outs for me. I like the simplicity, perfect proportions, and colors of 2. And the pretty dress in 5, which you've given some casual attitude with the boots and jacket. I had to smile at your story, too. </p> <p>Oh, and I do really like the cowl neck dress on you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2021711 Tue, 23 Apr 2019 23:06:14 +0000 kellygirl 2021711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Fabbers! It seems we have skipped spring and am now in early summer. So much for the third piece. Thanks for looking and for all of the kind comments! This is my favorite time of year for dressing :)&nbsp;</p> <p>@Cardiffgirl: Thank you. I feel like I’ve finally figured<br /> it out. It’s taken me awhile though. </p> <p>@Robin: Thank you. I know, right! The things that come<br /> out of my kid’s mouths sometimes. I’m partial to jeans too but since I don’t<br /> always get to wear dresses, I try to when I can. </p> <p>@marilyn: Thank you. I love the cowls and will continue<br /> to wear them although not without thinking about that clip. Haha. </p> <p>@Barbara: Thanks!</p> <p>@Brenda: So nice to “see” you—body twin! Thanks for<br /> chiming in!</p> <p>@MsMaven, Angie and Suntiger: Thank you. You are making<br /> me blush!</p> <p>@shevia: Thanks! DD is 18 going on 21. </p> <p>@Joy and Fashionintern: Thank you!</p> <p>@Liesbeth: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the story. It’s funny<br /> how quickly a surprised flattery kind of turned into disappointment. LOL!</p> <p>@ChristelJ: Thank you. The peep toes are fun for spring.<br /> They were a lemming purchase here on the forum a couple of years ago. Pretty<br /> comfy considering the heel height. </p> <p>@Laurie: Than you. You are too kind. I’m such a huge fan<br /> of BF jeans. I just duplicated my 501s since my Gaps are getting so worn out. </p> <p>@Bennett: Thank you! I wish I could get the rest of my<br /> body to cooperate. </p> <p>@smittie: Thank you!</p> <p>@rachylou: Thanks. Glad you like the beachy waves. They’re<br /> fun for days when my hair is messed up (no wash days.) </p> <p>@runcarla and Gretchen: Thanks! I really like the 3rd<br /> piece as a support act but come summer, the outfit has to stand on its own! </p> <p>@April: LOL! Your son should meet my daughter. It’s a no<br /> win, you’re right. </p> <p>@Jane, Mainelady: Thank you! </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2021356 Mon, 22 Apr 2019 17:56:10 +0000 Anonymous 2021356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Smittie the "evil cowl neck" is Cee's running joke-it can get quite violent at times Not quite sure how it started though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2021353 Mon, 22 Apr 2019 17:53:33 +0000 Mainelady 2021353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the cowl looks fabulous on you.

I also love you showing with/without the topper. That’s something I’m working on right now - how to have enough visual interest without a completed piece. Taking notes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2021032 Sun, 21 Apr 2019 01:00:42 +0000 Carla 2021032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All good, but #2 and the wavy hair slays! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2021009 Sat, 20 Apr 2019 17:03:06 +0000 rachylou 2021009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol. All these outfits are superb. And I really love your wavy hair. But you are a babe in the woods and have a long way to go here on the drape front. Need to think ‘Obi Wan’ peeps </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2021007 Sat, 20 Apr 2019 16:57:09 +0000 smittie 2021007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All really great outfits. What do people have against cowls?! I don’t get it.<br /> You look really healthy, lively, strong and fit (maybe some of those adjectives overlap). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2020967 Sat, 20 Apr 2019 09:51:15 +0000 Bennett 2020967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't stop looking at the toned arms!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2020871 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 16:04:53 +0000 Laurie 2020871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I just cannot even pick a favorite here these are all so wonderful, Kelly! I love that dress in #1 - you should feel "smart" in it. I reallllllly love everything about #2 (and any designer of boyfriend jeans should just get you to model for them). I am not usually a fan of print or floral, but gotta say that #5 could change my mind.&nbsp; Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2020863 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 14:37:09 +0000 ChristelJ 2020863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your drape looks carefree and chic, not like it's covering anything at all! You are radiant and look smashing in every single one of your outfits. Love your peep toe booties and light toppers for spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2020843 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 13:40:44 +0000 Bijou 2020843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are gorgeous, I love how you wear boots with everything and it always looks so good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2020827 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 12:29:17 +0000 Liesbeth 2020827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look superb in all outfits. Love that you shared that story </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2020817 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 10:57:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2020817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, the mouths of babes have got nothing on teenage lip! I agree with ST that you don’t look old enough for that category. </p> <p>These are all great. 1 &amp; the first part of 4 are my favorites. I think you’re showing us the key to good drape—just a little bit at just the right spot, not obscuring everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2020791 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 04:03:19 +0000 Anonymous 2020791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly you look fit and fabulous, my favorite of your outfits are the ones in #3, Jean jacket and black tube skirt. You have fabulous style, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2020784 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 02:24:13 +0000 Jaime 2020784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) How old is your DD? Because that conversation sounds very much like something my kids would say (14,14,16). Anyhow, you look fab in drape! My favorites are the crossover top in 2, the plaid top outfit in 3, and the dress in 5. But these are all great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2020764 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 01:24:04 +0000 Anonymous 2020764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>51?!?<br /> plonk<br /> Recovers<br /> I would have guessed mid 30s!<br /> 5 is my favorite too-but I like all them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-transition-wiw-and-draping#post-2020719 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 21:56:41 +0000 Angie 2020719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:)</p> <p>You have KILLER style<b> Kelly,</b> and have never looked more fit, healthy, at ease, and pretty.

I think I also have the black top in your last pic. I feel like the drapiness hides many flaws. And love your long cardi in pic 2. You look super cute in the dresses but I have to say I am partial to the jeans looks (my own bias against dresses). </p>
