I don't mind black boots at all for spring, but maybe a lighter top would make it more springy. Apologies if someone else has already suggested this....haven't read any other comments. It's a great silhouette for you though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135864 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 01:23:44 +0000 Queen Mum 135864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>chelle- here is a link to a thread about everyone's user names... it was fun to read everyones responses....</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-does-your-user-name-mean" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-name-mean</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135850 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:20:58 +0000 Theresa 135850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooooh I really like that outfit...</p> <p>And you know what... I was trying to work a scarf as a belt out this morning, didn't quite get it right, then worked out the cyclone (hurricane) bearing down on our coast has well and truly caused gale-force winds here, so I tied my hair back with it LOL </p> <p>But now I'm going to try again with it as a belt seeing how you have done it - thanks so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135839 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:39:47 +0000 chellebrate 135839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit is great!</p> <p>I ended up in walking shorts/clams (not sure they're skinny enough to be called clams), a sleeveless top, and sandals today. I'm not sure my feet and legs were ready, but the heat didn't give me a choice.</p> <p>I, too, am the queen in a house of blue. Now off to read the story behind the name "queenie." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135820 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:06:24 +0000 Queen Mum 135820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this is where I got the no black boots:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-has-sprung" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....has-sprung</a></p> <p>I don't think she was making a rule, just that she herself switches to lighter color boots for spring. but keep in mind that Angie has quite an extensive boot collection.</p> <p>katiepea- isn't it fun to be the only girl in the house? and welcome to the forum princess katie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135819 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:05:45 +0000 Isabel 135819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Queenie, I swear to secrecy ! But in case it gets out - officially Spring doesn't start until the 21st or so. It is technically still Winter, just unseasonably so.</p> <p>You look FAB as always ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135816 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:58:43 +0000 Katiepea 135816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very lovely! I love you you have lightened the outfit with the belt! No black boots in Spring? Noooooooooooooo. I have so much to learn!<br /> Kirstie</p> <p>PS - Queenie, I absolutely love your name! And when I read about why you chose that name I giggled even more. You see, I'm a mum to three boys myself and have self proclaimed myself the past few years as "Princess" of my household! (Yes, I am cheeky enough to even say to my boys and husband that "No, I can't" at various times. "Why?" they will ask. "Because I'm the princess of this family!" I reply. End of conversation! It now seems only fitting to me, to be a princess to your queen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135812 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:49:38 +0000 taylor 135812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have mentioned this before, I grew up in S.J and Los Gatos, the first 20 years of my life..... and I must say you have the BEST weather in the entire Bay Area...not too cold in the winter ,or too hot in the summer...just about the most PERFECT spring and summers!!! How I miss that!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135807 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:39:58 +0000 marianna 135807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim... it is SO nice. Not sure if the expense is worth it though. I am sitting in the backyard with my laptop. I've missed being able to do this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135805 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:37:36 +0000 Queen Mum 135805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Taylor and san.<br /> san- I"m in san jose, CA, I don't mind you asking at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135788 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:16:30 +0000 Anonymous 135788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so pretty. I love the combo you chose. I didn't know that Angie said to avoid black boots for spring.<br /> Where are you that it is so warm already? If you don't mind me asking ofcourse. Feel free to ignore the question altogether if you with. I'm just jealous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135785 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:07:57 +0000 taylor 135785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, don't you look great!!! That 79 degrees is perfect for me:) I can't wait for things to warm up here...but then it gets VERY hot:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135782 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:56:16 +0000 Queen Mum 135782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks Sara- we must have posted at the same time... I agree- I think I have a good balance of skin and white to keep this outfit from looking like winter. I am actually quite pleased with myself today </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135780 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:54:22 +0000 Queen Mum 135780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna- isn't it fabulous! I have windows and my front door open! THat's why we pay the big bucks to live here ;-)</p> <p>Tricia- I didn't mean to imply that we can't wear black past Easter... your black items sound great. And I really hesitated making that comment on your outfit, but that particular black skirt seemed to be a bit heavy. A black linen skirt would be great for spring! </p> <p>cciele- that's what I was thinking... I have another week to wear my black boots (but honeslty, paired with a spring dress with black in it, I would probably wear them again.)</p> <p>Julie and Louise- thanks! and thanks Louise for not ratting me out </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135779 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:54:17 +0000 MNsara 135779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the outfit is very fab and very appropriate for the transition time into spring. </p> <p>Your bare legs, lacy cardi, and white in the scarf belt lighten up the look perfectly for this inbetween time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135770 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:40:10 +0000 Louise 135770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit i agree with Julie i think it's early enough to still wear black and I promise not to tell Angie x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135753 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:40:58 +0000 RoseandJoan 135753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I really like your outfit Kim, I think you are early enough in the season to still rock your black boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135719 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:25:57 +0000 cciele 135719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But technically, it's not spring yet right? ;)</p> <p>I like your outfit Kim! Nice touch, using the scarf as a belt.</p> <p>Tricia -- we can wear black in the spring+summer; it's a matter of how you style it (so it's not "heavy"). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135715 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:14:08 +0000 Tricia 135715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look cute!</p> <p>So are we supposed to avoid black in general for spring/summer? I was wondering about that after you posted in my WiW today. I have black clamdiggers, new black cigarette pants, a black linen blend skirt, several black summer tops, black ballet flat/wedges arriving tomorrow...I need my black! I guess you can take the girl out of NYC, but you can't take the NYC out of the girl. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135711 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:06:45 +0000 marianna 135711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great, Kim! I am LOVING this weather we are having too! Such a nice change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-heat-wave-continues-what-im-wearing-to-survive-it#post-135709 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:53:51 +0000 Queen Mum 135709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sunny and 79 today (which at my house means low 80's)</p> <p>I was determined to wear this top and skirt today and ran into some styling difficulties (I'll spare you the drama) but ended up with this...</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4443511186/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....443511186/</a></p> <p>the problem is it hasn't hit the 79 yet this morning, and I"m going to be inside where it will be cooler, but I don't have the right topper for this outfit. I finally settled on this black lacy type cardi shrug thing which doesn't show up in the picture well at all, but there you go. I'll try to deal without it, but at least I have it if I get to cold</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43061463@N08/4442732727/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....otostream/</a></p> <p>and, I know Angie says to avoid black boots for spring, but Angie is out of the country and nobody is going to tell on me. </p>
