You could wear them with cropped linen pants and a sleeveless shell on the way to work and then haul out one of those awesome coats to wear in the A/C. You'd probably have to skip the scarf though, huh? *sigh* https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant/page/2#post-882327 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 21:15:09 +0000 Liz A. 882327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Totally agree with everyone about the sandals. &nbsp;I love the looks, but the sandals are killing it. &nbsp;Then again, I'm cold all year round... never understood the appeal of air conditioning in the summer. &nbsp;Hello, it's still hot outside, so I'd rather not wear my winter ensembles to work! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant/page/2#post-882304 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:54:24 +0000 Stylewhile 882304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your simple style and grey tones!!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant/page/2#post-882231 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 19:47:13 +0000 MsMary 882231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those are beautiful and I could totally see you rocking them!&nbsp; They would be great in So Cal, for sure.&nbsp; It gets hot here but I guess the lack of humidity is what makes the difference.&nbsp; Plus I FREEZE in the a/c all summer long so I am all about the jackets and the scarves as I go from my air-conditioned house to my air-conditioned car to my air-conditioned office!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant/page/2#post-882195 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 19:25:36 +0000 Kalli 882195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here to California! Lots of gaming companies here and well, it's perfect for SF weather. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant/page/2#post-881717 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 03:16:38 +0000 Beth 881717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love these outfits and absolutely hear you. I'm fascinated by London street style where I see bare legs and sandals paired with leather jackets. It boggles my mind.&nbsp;Here in VA, it's either one or the other.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant/page/2#post-881706 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 02:47:30 +0000 MNsara 881706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have no idea where that could be year-round, but I sure do see the appeal of those outfits! You have nice feet too for those sandals https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881691 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 02:19:28 +0000 Ariadne 881691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those shots are from Misch, right? &nbsp;They're a 15 minute bus ride from my house. &nbsp;I love their stuff and their outfits (I follow their blog obsessively). &nbsp;Way out of my budget, sadly, and I'm much&nbsp;too intimidated to actually go in the store, even though it's only 20 minutes away. &nbsp;But I know where you need to move to wear those clothes--Vancouver of course!<br /><br />(I just read your post, not the thread, so sorry if I'm repeating what's already been said.) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881409 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:13:53 +0000 Caro in Oz 881409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I so understand your breaking heart.&nbsp;<br />Beautiful clothes! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881402 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:04:31 +0000 Diane P 881402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ SF Bay area, you may have to cross a bridge to get to the weather your outfit requires... but definitely do-able most of the year! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881401 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:03:47 +0000 Diane P 881401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ SF Bay area, you may have to cross a bridge to get to the weather your outfit requires... but definitely do-able most of the year! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881397 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 20:56:06 +0000 ironkurtin 881397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh I know for sure there are places I can wear this.&nbsp; I just have to find it.&nbsp; It's out there... somewhere...<br /><br />I think S-Ca is really the best best, but alas, it isn't even on the bucket list.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881329 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:54:06 +0000 K. Period. 881329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love these looks, but the one thing that I can't get over is the sandals. Most women have feet that run cold, so wearing warm clothing on the top with sandals doesn't really work. &nbsp;I just keep thinking, by the time I'm wearing a top and jacket and jeans, the weather is too cold for sandals. If I'm wearing a scarf and long sleeves and jeans, ditto. &nbsp;Basically, I'm not sure that there really is anywhere that you can wear these looks. &nbsp;Now, the scarf and a tee and jeans and sandals, sure. &nbsp;The jeans and booties and a tank and the jacket, yes. &nbsp;For what it is worth.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881325 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:50:49 +0000 Thistle 881325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmmm, what about the Carolinas maybe? Not sure, as the sandals really throw me off! They look fun, but my feet would freeze except when it was really warm, and then I wouldn't be in a trench. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881306 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:33:04 +0000 ironkurtin 881306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Alas, the boy will never, never, ever move to California.&nbsp; Ever.&nbsp; He saw firsthand the afterffects of the tsunami in Japan, and running across California is a giant fault line dotted with aging nuclear power plants. Don't think my desire to wear a cute trench with sandals is going to sway him much from no-way-in-hell position.<br /><br />Sigh.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881244 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 18:14:59 +0000 rachylou 881244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I find Berkeley kind of overcast and chilly. Maybe over the hills in the Valley... but my vote really goes for So Cal.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881241 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 18:11:33 +0000 Janet 881241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm with Suz. I think you already have quite a similar style to this, from what we've seen in your WIWs. But I understand what you mean -- I really do not love dressing for summer. The combination of heat and humidity does me in. I rarely feel fab in the hotter months.&nbsp;<br /><br />I also see what Raisin is talking about. I love those sandals in the pics, but they seem too bare for outfits with long sleeved cardigans, scarves, etc. If my feet are that open to the elements, chances are my arms are too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881231 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:59:28 +0000 Kristin SF 881231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was just going to say....San Francisco! Year round, with a down jacket in the summer. ;-)<br /><br />Plus it fits your profession, no?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881211 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:46:53 +0000 ironkurtin 881211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think I need to move back to the Bay Area.&nbsp; In Berkeley I could wear this a big chunk of the year.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881188 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:28:17 +0000 Raisin 881188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't know. &nbsp;To me the sandals don't match the outfits. &nbsp;They seem to be mixed. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881179 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:22:15 +0000 Sara L. 881179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You could probably wear these in the spring, summer and fall in Albuquerque where I live.&nbsp; Yes, it's very hot in the summer during the day but because it's a high desert the temperatures drop 30-40 degrees at night.&nbsp; Even at the height of summer, the evening/night temps are usually in the 60's, where these outfits would be perfect. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881171 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:13:06 +0000 ironkurtin 881171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Vildy - That's cute.&nbsp; Whoever wrote that never came to Austin in the summer.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881115 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:33:22 +0000 Vildy 881115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Now, I know it sounds crazy but I read a whole column about this. Can't find it now - a menswear blog - but here is a quick blurb: <br />"<span><em>Wool</em> isn't just for winter insulation. Ultra-light <em>wool</em> provides the sweat-wicking capability of a high tech fabric, but it's a natural fabric."<br /><br /><br /></span> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881113 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:32:30 +0000 4babiesMe 881113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love these! &nbsp;Yeah, I would go crazy if I couldn't wear jackets and cardigans due to the weather. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881100 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:25:10 +0000 catgirl 881100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love these looks, IK.&nbsp; Maybe San Diego?&nbsp; I run cold, though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881066 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:04:07 +0000 ironkurtin 881066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Vildy - Austin winters are so short I tend to want to wear my boots and sweaters at any given excuse. So I do get to wear the same basic silhouette, but not in these light fabrications.&nbsp; It wold be so awesome to wear this stuff year round IMO.<br /><br />Suz - I know everyone thinks air conditioning helps, but doing a switch from what is essentially a bikini (outside) to real clothes (inside) is a real switcheroo. I've never managed to make it work, alas.<br /><br />Debbie - Yeah, maybe with no sleeves and so scarf, but then I'm kinda like, what's the point, you know?<br /><br />Mochi - all these shots are from here: <a href="http://mischboutique.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://mischboutique.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881040 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:36:55 +0000 Debbie 881040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This looks to me like it totally fits your style. With the heat starting would Tanya's suggestion of a sleevelessshirt and no scraf work. A little different vibe but I still think it would be in line with the direction you want to go in. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881033 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:33:39 +0000 Aziraphale 881033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes.&nbsp; Vancouver.&nbsp; Except not with the sandals.&nbsp; :-)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881032 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:33:33 +0000 Tina.b 881032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Those are great looks, I could see myself wearing those most of the year here. Maybe not in the hottest months of summer (but I do wear jeans in summer), and in winter you'd require a winter jacket over top.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-exactly-how-i-want-to-dress-and-cant#post-881027 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:31:35 +0000 Suz 881027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are great looks, and they seem very much like what you already wear -- just different fabrics? Or more structure, with the jackets vs. the softer tunics and toppers you often wear?&nbsp;<br /><br />Actually, it's tough for me to say what the fabrics are here. If linen, then why couldn't you wear, at least indoors in air con?&nbsp;<br /><br />As Ceit says, you couldn't wear these here in Ontario&nbsp;for much of the year, at least not with the (very cool) sandals. They might work during our very short mid-spring (like two weeks) and again for about 2 weeks in the fall. I guess they would work all right if you lived and worked in an air conditioned environment and never went outside, but I think your feet would get cold in that case.&nbsp;
