It’s so good to feel like summer is “mine” again! </p> <p>MaryBeth, so flattering! And funny that I didn’t intentionally decide to reach for “brights” but of course your description is right on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2201693 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 17:36:47 +0000 Jonesy 2201693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Angie said, and congrats on your son's graduation! I envy people who are able to commute by bike! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2201613 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 13:57:36 +0000 Helena 2201613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks, and you look like you are having fun, which is the most important thing as Angie says! More love especially for #1 ... that purply-blue is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2201608 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 13:49:45 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2201608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The purple and the pink outfits are my favorites, out of a uniformly fabulous lineup! You really glow in those brights! The blue is gorgeous against your hair and eyes, and it’s calmer, more peaceful.</p> <p>But OMG you rock that purple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2201578 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 12:18:50 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2201578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suntiger! I’ve been realizing this year how much I like blue, in any shade, with white. </p> <p>Firecracker, good point about the practicality of back pockets for intense bike rides, which is the angle novara comes at this from. But I also like your idea of offering multiple options, to make the jacket adaptable to different situations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2201211 Tue, 08 Jun 2021 16:19:55 +0000 Anonymous 2201211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy summer! They all look great, love the blue and white print on you especially! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2201209 Tue, 08 Jun 2021 16:09:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2201209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great summer style! The Novara jacket looks good for riding. I miss front/side pockets in riding jackets, too. I think the reason they omit them is that when you fill those pockets, it can be uncomfortable in the riding position (or so I've discovered when using non-riding jackets for bicycling--I miss the back pocket if I don't have it). It would be good to have both the back pocket and side pockets, for versatility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2201117 Tue, 08 Jun 2021 08:03:57 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2201117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn67, what a nice thing to say! I’m really enjoying having summer be an enjoyable season, no AC required. I’ve asked for and received quite a bit of advice while buying shoes, jeans, and swimsuits in the last few months, so figure a few good WIWs in payback are the least I can do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200901 Mon, 07 Jun 2021 09:09:15 +0000 lyn67 2200901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, some really great outfits here, again!! Love whites -and is always&nbsp; my first choice&nbsp; for summer&nbsp; so nr 1 is a fave of me, too. But nr 3-4 is another gorgeous pairing color wise- love olive and pink together you are doing some great wiw"s this summer- (the&nbsp; blue biking outfit is so frenchy:-)) keep on posting!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200861 Sun, 06 Jun 2021 23:09:33 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kate, but the *what* shorts? I certainly hope KftK doesn’t have anything to do with that organization. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200855 Sun, 06 Jun 2021 21:53:11 +0000 Kate 2200855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Especially love the first outfit—you’ve got legs for miles!—and the shorts outfit. Nice use of the tank from your suit with the KKK shorts. Fish tacos—Mmm!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200831 Sun, 06 Jun 2021 20:32:55 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks CarolS. </p> <p>Angie, high five back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200812 Sun, 06 Jun 2021 17:50:05 +0000 Angie 2200812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>FashIntern</b>, Greg just bought some G-Star stash and is thrilled with it. It's a popular brand at the Cox Castle.</p> <p>As someone who enjoys wearing modern classics - high five </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200779 Sun, 06 Jun 2021 14:23:01 +0000 CarolS 2200779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks! I love the Talbot's tank with the shorts in particular.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200778 Sun, 06 Jun 2021 14:13:18 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thanks for the enthusiasm Your strong recommendation of G-star is what led me to try a pair of jeans very different from what I was seeking, and they’ve worked out well, I’d say. Re look 2, I think my style is generally a lot more classic than it seems, iykwim. </p> <p>Thanks Smittie. The hair does its own thing, some days better than others. I have very little olive, because I don’t think it flatters me, but these shorts are a small dose that seems to work with things that do work well for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200690 Sat, 05 Jun 2021 23:42:19 +0000 Angie 2200690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for fish tacos :)</p> <p>More thumbs up for outfits #1 and #2. The jeans are KILLER. Such a hip and modern silhouette. The purple looks fab!</p> <p>I love the classic and pulled together vibe of #2. Great colour mix and flattering silhouettes! KILLER shorts.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200670 Sat, 05 Jun 2021 20:13:12 +0000 smittie 2200670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your hair in 1.<br /> My favourite is the olive/pink outfit.<br /> You look great in skinny pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200665 Sat, 05 Jun 2021 20:03:32 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Star, I hadn’t thought about the purple &amp; silver/grey hair, but think you are right </p> <p>Thanks Bijou! It was a crazy day, but all turned out well in the end. I’m a wimpy biker by Germanic standards, have scarcely ridden my bike at all this year until the week, when the weather is too inviting not to ride. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200588 Sat, 05 Jun 2021 09:57:46 +0000 Bijou 2200588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Graduation is today!!! Have a wonderful time and you’re a Mum, it’s expected that you will be a bit emotional </p> <p>I love all of these outfits and so cool that you commute by bike. The new jeans are winners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200579 Sat, 05 Jun 2021 09:21:55 +0000 Star (Lise) 2200579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good, especially like outfits 1 and 2.&nbsp; That cool toned purple really suits you (it looks cool toned on my screen).&nbsp; I am also loving purple at the moment, it seems to compliment my silver hair that is coming in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200578 Sat, 05 Jun 2021 09:07:53 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Phoebe—odd then, that I rarely wear jeans. </p> <p>Rachylou, I have my hair in a braid today, in hopes that it will have some nice waves by graduation this afternoon. </p> <p>Tanya, purple is such a great color—energizing and calming at once. </p> <p>Thanks Sally! The top is the easiest part of the suit to break out &amp; wear elsewhere. The real challenge will be the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200551 Sat, 05 Jun 2021 02:56:22 +0000 rachylou 2200551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking really pulled together! Boy your hair is looking good super long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200541 Sat, 05 Jun 2021 02:38:36 +0000 Tanya 2200541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun outfits all around.&nbsp; I have to choose the first one as my favorite as purple is my favorite color and it is very flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200535 Sat, 05 Jun 2021 02:20:10 +0000 Sally 2200535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wondered how you would split up and wear the talbots suit.&nbsp; I love it paired with the brown shorts.&nbsp; You look really lovely in jeans and shorts so those are my favourites.&nbsp; All the outfits look good to me though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200474 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 21:00:27 +0000 Anonymous 2200474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great but you look so good in jeans I have to say that first outfit is by far my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer#post-2200468 Fri, 04 Jun 2021 20:39:47 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2200468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It finally got warm this week for real, with highs in the 70s and sunny days. There was some rain, but none of the all-day soaks we’d been having forever.</p> <p>1. I asked a random stranger to take my picture in the park because my top was purple, just like the flowers. She was so sweet—took several, and worked to compose them nicely. The odd chunky black belt I’m wearing is my bike lock.<br /> G-star pinstriped jeans<br /> Linen tank from Anthropologie<br /> Ecco sandals<br /> 2. Same outfit, minus market bag, bike lock, and friendly stranger.<br /> 3-5 The challenge begins! The pink linen tank is part of a Talbots suit I’m using in Sal’s 10x3 challenge. The Kut from the Kloth shorts remind me of Jenn. 4 was supposed to be a very cool pic of me walking away from the camera with my bike, to show my Target belt &amp; little Coach purse, but looking at the full pic....no. Better to crop it down to those elements.<br /> 6-7 The coldest, wettest day this week: two more elements from the challenge—the two-piece dress. Temps were in the mid-60s as I left the pool, so I was glad to have the LS Uniqlo Heat tech T. The skirt has a secret pocket on the inside layer. It’s too small for a cell phone (dress was bought at REI in the early 90s when cell phones weren’t much of a thing) so I kept my mask in it and my phone in the breast pocket.<br /> 8-10 same day, but it was rainy in the morning. I took some pix while waiting to see if a shop would open up. It didn’t. My rain jacket is by novara; the zipper pull tab says “never a bad time to ride”. The long backside is helpful on a bike in the rain. I wish the jacket had pockets, but it does have a pouch you can fold it up into; when I’m riding, I use it as a pocket for my keys.<br /> 11. Fish tacos!</p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
