In the case of the 2-year kimono delivery, that turned out to be a very good thing! </p> <p>SarahD8, I’m waving at my skirt-&amp;-tank sister-if-not-twin across the miles. Glad you like that mix in 4-5. That tank is the one I’m calling tan, and I wasn’t sure it went so well with the rest. I’ve had Clarks before—super comfortable. </p> <p>Angie, Nikki, Lana, Brooklyn, Blue Jay, Zaoebi, thanks for the “school shoes” love. I’m keeping my eyes peeled, but also hoping Pikolinos will take a cue from that style’s popularity last season and reprise it later this year. Z, I’ve gone sockless in shoes for decades. I let them air out at night, maybe a few days between wears. It seems to work. Shrug. </p> <p>Blue Jay, come on over! And thanks for the compliment. I had big body goals for this month, pushed too hard and injured myself, now am unhappily watching progress slip away. </p> <p>Sal, no worries on the colors. I have been trying to figure out what it is about summer dressing that I like so much, because I want to isolate that element and infuse it into my winter dressing, even though it may take on a different flavor there. I think I’ve got part of it figured out—have been making a plan for this fall/winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266699 Thu, 09 Jun 2022 13:43:12 +0000 SarahD8 2266699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks, SF, and I agree with Sal, your style really comes alive in summer. I especially like the look in 6-8 (actually I was going to do a long full skirt + casual tank outfit today so I will take some inspiration from you in putting it together). </p> <p>I also dig the pattern/texture mix in 4-5 (agree that the No sock version is the winner) and especially like the kimono with the skirt in 1.</p> <p>For an upgrade of your school shoes, how about Clarks? They have a great reputation for comfort and quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266669 Thu, 09 Jun 2022 10:44:57 +0000 Zaeobi 2266669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these all on you - agree with @Christel! </p> <p>The soft topper in #1 works well on you when it's slightly shorter like that, so we can still see what's underneath I actually struggle with summer dressing the most because of trying to layer whilst also beating the heat - maybe I should look into more lightweight toppers like yours instead, hmm... </p> <p>The oxfords seem to bridge that gap between fun casual &amp; 'slightly elevated' (as you called it) well for you, so would recommend buying another pair. Only caveat is that style can get kinda sweaty if worn without socks in the summer (TMI sorry lol!) You don't have that issue though? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266668 Thu, 09 Jun 2022 10:40:06 +0000 BlueJay 2266668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of your outfits. The colours are great for you. I'm glad you finally received the kimono as it looks lovely! Love the shoes, definitely find a replacement.</p> <p>On another note, I want to fly to Germany to see the sights! Maybe you can also be my workout partner! You look great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266665 Thu, 09 Jun 2022 10:31:26 +0000 Brooklyn 2266665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I love the school shoes look. Very sophisticated and European looking, especially with the long skirt. You should get another pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266496 Wed, 08 Jun 2022 00:14:10 +0000 Lana 2266496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really love the long skirt with the oxfords! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266484 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 22:31:44 +0000 Anonymous 2266484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty! Lovely outfit combinations and the “school shoes” are awesome. You have your summer groove </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266477 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 22:09:33 +0000 Sal 2266477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha StagF - now I am on my laptop I can see the colours better than on my phone.</p> <p>I know that we are two on the forum who find summer dressing easier than winter or fall.&nbsp; I have tried to work out why for myself, without much success.</p> <p>These outfits do really suit you - cobalt, purple and navy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266473 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 21:54:53 +0000 Angie 2266473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad your kimono jacket finally got to you, <b>Stag</b>! I love the way you styled it in #1. It's pretty with the skirt, and the slides are fably Summery.</p> <p>You rock those oxfords! By all means get another pair. They've become signature to your look this year.&nbsp;</p> <p>#7 is fabulous! Elegantly Casual. Is that the tan tank? I like it in that outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266471 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 21:51:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2266471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sal!<br /> Monitors are such funny things. Irl, the first skirt is cobalt, the jeans are pinstriped, even though everyone always thinks they are white, the short skirt is purple eyelet, and the long one is patterned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266451 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 20:08:33 +0000 Sal 2266451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look good on you - very easy and natural. Navy skirts are obviously a staple - I think it’s three in different styles.</p> <p>And yes I think the shoes are worth upgrading. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266446 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 19:30:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2266446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks you guys! Idk why things fall into place so much easier in the summertime. </p> <p>Merwoman, pencils aren’t usually my thing, but the blue one is comfy! </p> <p>Rachylou, thanks, cutie! </p> <p>ChristiJ, new combos are why I like the “buy &amp; keep” wardrobe strategy. The long skirt was hanging in my sister’s closet at our parents’ last fall when I had a sudden need for a slightly elevated ‘fit. Added jewelry from mom, top &amp; topper from other sis, &amp; I was set. Couldn’t bring it all back with me, but I kept her skirt </p> <p>Thanks RobinF. Do you get the endless weather variations in spring too? </p> <p>Cardiff, thanks—summer figure is now loading. (Seriously, I add subQ fat every winter) </p> <p>Star, glad to hear the tan top works. </p> <p>Cat2, Pikolinos had a better version of the shoes, but sold out in my size by the time I found them. The best part about them is no laces—they are slip-ons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266437 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 18:07:35 +0000 merwoman 2266437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fash these are all beautifully put together. pic 1 blows me away, fits you perfectly and that kimono elevates it to next level. Colours in all these pics are so harmonious. Simply gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266430 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 17:57:47 +0000 rachylou 2266430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking super cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266416 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 16:45:37 +0000 ChristelJ 2266416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a lovely kimono and I am bowled over by the long skirt and how great it looks on you. I feel like your style has a lot of variety and you often come up with great combinations that I’ve not seen before on you; so fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266415 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 16:43:20 +0000 RobinF 2266415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfits, love the kimono. Sandal season is my favorite, I have been wearing them a little but not quite warm enough yet to wear them regularly. Your oxfords are fun, I bet would be worth upgrading.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266414 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 16:37:11 +0000 Cardiff girl 2266414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The kimonos is ever so pretty on you and outfit #7…you look really good in this even though it’s the most simple.It looks elegant and effortless and subtly shows off how good your figure is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266409 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 16:06:04 +0000 Star (Lise) 2266409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like everything here.&nbsp; From the kimono, to the shoes with the socks (and without), to the outfit with the tan.&nbsp; It all works.&nbsp; Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266406 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 15:54:45 +0000 cat2 2266406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun for Summer. I think a well made upgrade pair would be a good addition; your feet will thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-is-coming#post-2266403 Tue, 07 Jun 2022 15:47:27 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2266403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-2 are with a kimono my mom tried to mail to me—twice! It was returned to sender both times. I picked it up when I was in the USA last year. </p> <p>3-5 when I said I don’t have any summer plaid, I lied. I had just gotten these socks. But honestly, I think I like the shoes with skirt better without them. Too much interruption/contrast. I enjoyed wearing the skirt with my white button-front linen blouse last year, am trying to figure out other ways to wear it. The kimono from 1-2 works. I don’t think the tan tank here is great; do you agree?<br /> 6-8 at the library. I’ve worn sandals a couple times this year, but am really loving my “school shoes”, need to find some more before this €30 trial version falls apart. </p> <p>Thanks for looking and for suggestions and comments. </p>
