I have felt the same way about a few of our members.......one of the best things about YLF is that if you find someone who is wearing the style to which you aspire, you can just watch what they wear and learn!!!  Imitation being the best form of flattery etc. Thirkellgirl on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-in-the-garage/page/2#post-1679911 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 13:10:48 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1679911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I want to dress like you every.single.day. You look exactly like I'd like to look - classy, put-together, fun but not wacko, polished. I have to follow you forever, now (on the forum, don't get creeped out, lol). carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-in-the-garage/page/2#post-1679872 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 10:53:41 +0000 carter 1679872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all for the commiseration and the compliments! I'll be having a spare key made today to stash in the garage. While I'm out I may add a bottle of wine to the list for garage survival;-) Another scorcher here today...I promise not to leave the house without my key!

I love #1.  I am always drawn to that look.  Shorts are difficult but you pull them off so well.

Second .....  Hahaha! Thank you for sharing this story, Carter, I had great fun (I hope you do not mind). I adore these stories when things go wrong but with a happy ending. And those two on the sofa! I laugh just looking at them!   Debbie on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-in-the-garage/page/2#post-1679724 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 03:19:15 +0000 Debbie 1679724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am so sorry!

I'm glad you got in before getting heat stroke. Each of your outfit is fabulous. My favorites are 2,3 and 4. They are streamlined and polished.

I love #1 --- colorful in a Aix en Provence sort of way, and a gorgeous silhouette (I'm a fan of the crop flares).  I also think you look terrific in shorts, which will be perfect for your new community! Firecracker (Sharan) on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-in-the-garage#post-1679611 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 00:09:18 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1679611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are all great outfits, Carter. You wear the angled hems and swingy styles of 1-3 just as beautifully as the tailored look in 4. And you make shorts look chic. Glad you got back in the house!

How irritating to be locked out. Love outfit 1, and your look is soooo stylish.

Glad to hear your ordeal is over, and how great that you've got some actual food in your garage fridge! I would have also only had access to beer The work you've put into your casual looks is certainly paying off, these all look great. I'm especially drawn to #1 (pattern! color! interesting hemline!) and #5 (those shorts are soooo cute on you). My feet are marveling at how yours are able to keep those black flats staying put.

Sorry about your lock out. It's maddening. .  That always seems to happen to me when my husband is out of town and I have to wait for my friend with the key to come home from work  Glad you are back inside.  catgirl on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-in-the-garage#post-1679494 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 20:06:35 +0000 catgirl 1679494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love #1 - fab summer top!

Cheers to you for making the best of your time stuck in the garage. I love them all, can't pick a fav. You look equally great in the blue and green tops....and the black/white...looks like almost color would work on you! carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-in-the-garage#post-1679452 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 17:53:55 +0000 carter 1679452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Ledonna! No pics from my garage! I definitely don't trust the critters one little bit! Oh no, BC. I hope you've been sleeping in the living room since Saturday! That's the worst.  No fridges in those Canadian garages, Suz? No space heaters here, for sure...unless you count the patio heaters we get to bring out each January so we can still enjoy the deck;-) Glad you like 1 and 5! Summer casual has always been a challenge for me because of the heat. Trying to put some focus there these days. Sally, shorts are just hard. I really struggle to be happy in them. I'm okay standing in them, but then you sit down, and I'm overly focused on the thigh until I get to stand up again;-) Sal on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-in-the-garage#post-1679447 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 17:36:37 +0000 Sal 1679447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh how I know the feeling - but I am impressed with the healthy contexts of the fridge. I agree with Lisa - and I love your shorts look because I struggle so hard to wear them!! You look great! carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-in-the-garage#post-1679445 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 17:36:25 +0000 carter 1679445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Back on a screen I can actually read:-) Thanks, RL! Glad you like the boho vibe. Every now and then it has to come out! If the dog couldn't have seen me on the back deck, I might have done just that. As it is, she would have barked her head off the whole time. No way was there going to be a garage selfie, Lila. Thanks so much, skylurker. I've finally put some effort into my super casual Summer wardrobe this year. It's a pretty tiny little capsule still, so you're likely to see this outfit a lot;-) Thanks, Angie! I knew you'd like #4. Once I figured out that the pants were screaming for a more fitted top, the rest just fell together. Definitely a dainty shoe lover! Other than (rather dainty) booties and gear sneakers, all my shoes are on the dainty side. Lisa, you are ridiculously sweet! Just for the record, there are plenty of days that don't warrant a WIW pic! JAileen, you have your husband better trained than I do! Mine said, "go enjoy a nice lunch while you wait". Ha! I couldn't have even gone to a fast food joint looking that way. Thanks, Maneera. You are the queen of casual style in the heat! I'm trying to at least come up with something presentable when it's 95 degrees. Thanks, Elizabeth! I'm pretty sure they were the ones who locked me out in the first place;-) Sara, believe me, I tried to find an opening! No luck. Glad you like my polka dot pants! Thank you, Joyce. And yes, I was very lucky. Her usual day is Friday, but she came early this week so she could go on vacation. Suz on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-in-the-garage#post-1679441 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 17:28:17 +0000 Suz 1679441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You have a fridge in your garage? Hah, up in these parts people are more likely to have space heaters. (Just joking, sort of.)  You look amazing in every one of these. I agree with Rachy that #1 seems to add something fresh to your look yet retain the essence. It's fantastic. Also love your shorts outfit. That's a great top -- and yes, it fits right into the theme of today's blog post. You've honed your style to a fine art, Carter, and you look great!  Kitties look falsely innocent indeed.  Anonymous on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-in-the-garage#post-1679440 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 17:27:00 +0000 Anonymous 1679440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love all of your outfits; particularly #1. I'm glad to hear you got back into your house. The A/C on our top floor--where all of the bedrooms are--hasn't worked since Saturday, so I can relate to how you felt in the heat. Our bedroom is above the garage, which makes it even worse.

Your outfit photos are fab, you have very good taste and a polished style. Lucky that your housekeeper was coming, otherwise you may have needed to call a locksmith.

Sorry you're in, I wanted to see a selfie of the drunken sweaty mess :) Love the shot of your furbabies.  "what, we didn't do it, we didn't ignore you knocking on the door ". carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-in-the-garage#post-1679434 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 17:07:28 +0000 carter 1679434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm in! These two seem to be trying awfully hard to convince me they were little angels while I was stuck out there. Somehow I doubt that. Back in a few to respond appropriately.

But all these outfits are really really fantastic...considering your weather is HOT! You have fruit salad in the garage fridge but no beer?! How cool!!! That tells me you guys are really healthy eaters!

Hey, when that's happened to me, my husband has had to come home to let me in. Big meeting? Too bad! I like all of them but especially 1 and 4. carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stuck-in-the-garage#post-1679412 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 16:27:45 +0000 carter 1679412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks! I'll do a better job replying when I'm back on something bigger than this phone. Ha, Lisa. No beer. Fruit salad and kombucha in the garage fridge. There's also a pack of smoked salmon I got for tomorrow night. If I don't get back in soon, that may be next!
