I'd like it as a break, but not as a skip of season. </p> <p>Lisa - I never used to wear white on my bottom half. I now enjoy white a lot. </p> <p>Roxanna - a uniform of sorts helps keep things simple and sorted. </p> <p>Texstyle - I like the tops a lot, and I need to get to trying some Ecco sandals. I may be just between their sizes. The last pair I tried I was at the end. They didn't have the next size in the store so I'll have to go online. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to/page/2#post-1692480 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 14:49:55 +0000 crazyone 1692480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer hasn't been consistent enough here to have a go-to. &nbsp;The weekend of July 4th was sunny and hot, in the high 80s, low 90s. &nbsp;This past weekend was cloudy and high temps of the 60s, and was so cold at points that a jacket was needed. &nbsp;Doesn't feel like mid-July at all... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to/page/2#post-1692474 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 14:38:23 +0000 Roxanna 1692474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great question! I just decided that my weekend summer outfit formula this year is short boyfriend shorts (denim or white) + drapey tee + statement jacket + comfortable flats or wedges. Now that I have a go-to, getting dressed on weekends will be so much easier!</p> <p>And like you and many who have replied, I love my comfy skirts. I have about 5 from Joe Fresh that are exactly the same - midi length, thick jersey and fitted. They look sharp, but are so comfy. I wear them wiht everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to/page/2#post-1692459 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 14:14:35 +0000 texstyle 1692459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My main go-to's include gauzy cotton shirts with sleeves rolled up and worn semi tucked over various shorts, my ecco sandals (comfy, but they seem to be one season sandals), linen tees and my plaid whisper weight cotton shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to/page/2#post-1692456 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 14:06:55 +0000 Elizabeth P 1692456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm still waiting for summer to show up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to/page/2#post-1692443 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 13:28:50 +0000 Lisa 1692443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White denim cropped jeans, I really need to post a WIW photo of them sometime soon, because they have been my staple this season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to/page/2#post-1692442 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 13:28:19 +0000 Anonymous 1692442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April - I can just imagine that outfit, and it sounds amazing.

I remember wearing linen with no prior problems. I think it's the linen blends in some of the thin tops I have the issue with. I'd probably solve it by going up in price point.</p> <p>Packing is a big chore. Good luck with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to/page/2#post-1692419 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 12:31:15 +0000 Anonymous 1692419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to be slow returning. Packing to move and decluttering is taking my time. I have two linen skirts that are soft and not at all scratchy from EF, bought on sale. I also have two older linen pencil skirts from Classiques Entiere that are more structured but unlined and not scratchy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to/page/2#post-1692409 Mon, 11 Jul 2016 11:22:50 +0000 Anonymous 1692409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Irina - that makes sense. I'm always hot, so just one more reason to omit. </p> <p>Maneera - I like your wardrobe. It would work well in my life - both in terms of casualness and heat.

Knit skirts with lose pretty tees and denim shorts are my summer go-to as well!!!</p> <p>I do have several of each into heavy rotation. Here are 2 outfits from my holiday in Thailand!

White, dark denim, medium denim; flared and straight with a single fold. Plenty of my versions of white tees, which are usually a bit more substantial than a traditional tee and may have an interesting silhouette. Ankle strap sandals: metallic, periwinkle blue, black, navy and white. Happiness inducing bags: satchels and shoulder straps. Colors and neutrals. Changed on a whim.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fun to read this thread. How fast summer goes around here... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to#post-1692220 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 19:34:26 +0000 viva 1692220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every time I think of your red lace up ghillies, <b>Rabbit</b>, I wish I had a pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to#post-1692215 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 19:13:54 +0000 rabbit 1692215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw Suz your kitty &nbsp;</p> <p>In actuality my summer uniform has been hand-me down track pants because I've been working in the basement for weeks to finish a project and barely getting out of the house, or no further than the backyard. </p> <p>&nbsp;When I do get out, it's often been a white or navy light short sleeve top with cropped dark denim straights and red lace up ghillies or other interesting shoes or booties. &nbsp; I'm pretty much all cropped straights and skinnies at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to#post-1692213 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 19:08:36 +0000 viva 1692213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Add me to El Cee and Carla's camp: I have been wearing the cropped jean/dress combo A LOT this summer. We've had strange weather, many breezy days and some quite cool ones (it's felt like autumn recently!) and this combo has worked so well with all sorts of dresses and with skinnies as well as cropped flares.</p> <p>Plus, I really really do not love shorts on me anymore. I did buy one pair for $16 this summer but I think that may be the <i>last</i> bit of cash I put into shorts ever. I will just wear the 4 pairs I have until they fall apart. Shorts are truly my least favorite clothing item. I'd <i>much</i> rather wear shorter pants with a tunic or loose dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to#post-1692212 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 19:08:27 +0000 Remy 1692212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm all about cute, flirty dressed this summer. It's just so easy throwing on one item of clothing and not having to worry about matching a top and a skirt haha.</p> <p>I also always carry a big scarf in my bag that I can wrap around myself like a blanket when the air conditioning becomes too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to#post-1692209 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 19:01:49 +0000 Irina 1692209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silk scarves. I take one with me every day when I go to work. Our office a bit cold in the summer. Taking a jacket would mean I have to carry it in my hands on the way from work. Cardigans work, too. I can put it on my bag but I don't have a cardigan for every outfit. I love scarves and used to buy them every season. I had to stop myself when I realized that I am getting obsessed about buying but not wearing them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to#post-1692200 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 18:25:37 +0000 Anonymous 1692200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisap, AviaMariah - I have one pair of white jeans right now, and I would like a second pair. </p> <p>Colette - I haven't broken out my maxi dresses yet this year either. </p> <p>Always trying - I'm definitely wearing lots of cotton tees. </p> <p>BC - those dansko booties sound cute. </p> <p>Staysfit, Laura - I don't wear a lot of sleeveless, but I'm in one today. </p> <p>Aziraphale - I'm so glad I ignored the SA. I wouldn't be wearing them nonstop if they were more fitted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to#post-1692185 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 17:42:24 +0000 AviaMariah 1692185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got me it's been white jeans. I've always had a pair but I think I'd save wearing them cause I knew they'd have to be washed right away. Now I have multiple pairs so I feel more free in wearing them. Almost all of them are hanging to dry right now so it's totally a mental thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to#post-1692178 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 16:48:57 +0000 Aziraphale 1692178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What IS it with sales assistants wanting to sell us skin-tight pants? This happens to me, too. The number of times I've been talked into uncomfortably tight jeans, with the promise that "they will stretch out", then had to return them a day later because they haven't -- aargh. One time the SA gushed about how great this pair of black jeans looked on me, and I wanted to yell, NO THEY DON'T, CAN'T YOU SEE THEY GIVE ME CAMEL TOE.</p> <p>It has been unseasonably cool here lately, and my go-to has been a pair of inexpensive, super-faded-blue cropped Gap straight leg jeans that I cut off myself. They are my version of the raw-hem cropped flares that everyone was mad about this spring. I still don't care for the cropped flares on me (hobbit city), but the straight leg ones are narrow enough -- and the colour is light enough -- that it doesn't chop up my leg line. I can even wear them with flats!</p> <p>But like Colette says, summer is not my most fab season. As soon as it gets properly hot, I will stop caring about clothes and will pretty much consistently wear a tank top with denim shorts, and a shiny, sweaty face.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to#post-1692175 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 16:39:37 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1692175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim cut chinos, usually with rolled cuffs, worn with sandals, sleeveless woven tops, and a light cardigan for the a/c. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to#post-1692173 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 16:38:57 +0000 Staysfit 1692173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sleeveless dresses, white or indigo denim shorts and linen tees, flat sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-summer---whats-your-go-to#post-1692169 Sun, 10 Jul 2016 16:21:13 +0000 Anonymous 1692169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my office, my NYDJ ponte trousers with a flowy summer top and Dansko cut-out platform booties.</p> <p>On weekends, a pair of NYDJ cropped pants with flowy top and Cobb Hill cage style sandals.
