Always a gamble on fit for me, but I have a skirt I got last fall on clearance that will come out for spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776844 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 18:55:31 +0000 Anonymous 1776844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Curious on your Tieks review. I don't find flats that comfy, so it's hard to justify the spend. </p> <p>I'm wearing the lemming Free People tunic today, so taking a look if I need to lemming anything else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776819 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 17:33:38 +0000 LaPed 1776819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great strategizing! I'm moving on to thinking about S/S as well. I'm officially bored with winter dressing.&nbsp;</p> <p>Garnet Hill is based not far from where I live. The outlet store in Franconia NH is a blast. Surrounded by great hiking too. ;)&nbsp;I've bought mostly housewares from them, and I've been so happy with the quality of everything. I may splurge on some of their cashmere this year...&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776797 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 16:11:12 +0000 Anonymous 1776797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all your picks.<br /> I took a gander at Garnet Hill--they have so many things that are right up my alley. Lots of great blouses, shirts and tanks. The dresses are nice too. I've been looking for blouson-style jersey dresses and they've got a big selection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776790 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 15:52:15 +0000 Jenn 1776790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Style Fan -&nbsp;</b>I'm still not completely convinced on the cropped flares. I tried some one last fall and didn't enjoy them&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suz -&nbsp;</b>I'm fascinated by this thing with the flats. Ballet flats are my desert-island, go-to, most-comfortable shoes! I've been looking at the Tieks for awhile, and spent last summer accosting all the women who came into my booth wearing them. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;They couldn't gush enough, so I think this year will be the one where I take the plunge.</p> <p><b>Ryce -&nbsp;</b>You know, I find the chinos kind of hard to wear. I think the cut is just too masculine for my tastes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776764 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 13:48:07 +0000 Anonymous 1776764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice collection - I especially like those bronze-colored chinos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776761 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 13:46:22 +0000 Suz 1776761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look fantastic for you, Jenn. I really love the colour of the sneakers and I also love the blouse and tank. Everything is versatile and re-mixable. Brilliant.&nbsp;</p> <p>My only concern would the the comfort (or lack) of the flats, but then my fussy feet curl up at the thought of flats! ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776727 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 10:57:23 +0000 Style Fan 1776727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all these tops Jenn.&nbsp; I can see them fitting into your style.&nbsp; They have some nice subtle details which work well with your look.&nbsp; I like those ballet flats.&nbsp; Nice colour.&nbsp; Great sneakers.<br />I swore I would never wear cropped flares but then I stared thinking about the ones Angie posted this week.&nbsp; I don't wear shorts either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776622 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 02:36:17 +0000 Anonymous 1776622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a wonderful plan and feel for what you want.

We've been several times before, but never for quite so long, and always in the autumn. This will be different! I'm pretty sure I don't even own enough clothes to pack for ten sweaty, hot days with no laundry.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776563 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 23:40:05 +0000 JAileen 1776563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's too early. If you wait, they run out. I've already bought sandals. I love the top in #2. It looks like it would be really useful. You could dress it up or down. I presume you're going to Disney World? I've never been. I hope you have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776555 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 23:22:33 +0000 Ledonna N. 1776555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you are so organized.

Most of these items fall into my "essentials," both in category and budget, so that leaves some room for fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776531 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 22:50:04 +0000 BrieN 1776531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like that blue blouse - photo #6 (I may have to lemming that!) - and could see trying it with the shoes in photo #1.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776526 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 22:43:27 +0000 Angie 1776526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great strategy, and good thought process, Jenn. Do leave room for spontaneity and wild cards though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776494 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 21:02:00 +0000 Jenn 1776494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vix - I'd call the silk blouse a near-floral, but it's extremely difficult to find florals that both speak to me and are not polyester. I do have a few in my wardrobe already, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776467 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 19:37:25 +0000 Vix 1776467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jenn --</p> <p>These all seem like highly wearable adds that fit right in with your style but I admit I'd love to see a floral in there given the season -- nothing's turned up yet?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776445 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 19:07:32 +0000 Emily K 1776445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving the sneaks in #1 and the blouse in #6. &nbsp;My wardrobe has coalesced around black, white, ink, and charcoal with natural leathers in shoes/belts, so I'm going to be watching your wardrobe for all the hints it can give me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776406 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 16:24:18 +0000 Tina 1776406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All your planning and introspection are really paying off. From what I have seen of your WIWs, these should fit right in to your existing wardrobe. A very smart way to refresh your look. The blouse in 6 is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-spri---summer#post-1776400 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 16:06:25 +0000 Jenn 1776400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know it's early, but, for several reasons, I'm thinking of my summer wardrobe already. </p> </p> <ol> <li>My spring will be cut short this year, by a 10-day trip to Orlando in May.</li> <li>I don't really like spring clothing, so I tend to purchase transitional pieces in fall.</li> <li>My 5-piece system lumps spring and summer together in one shopping season.</li> </ol> </p> <p>So, to help me start putting things together in my head, here's what I've been looking at. My wardrobe has been coming together over the past few years as a series of basic pieces in black, ivory, and ink blue, with touches of maroon, olive, and cognac leather. I like stripes, and I've also been adding floral prints, but I'm picky about them.</p> <p>Sorry, none of these are Finds, but the bookmarklet doesn't work on any of the sites I've been shopping. I'll add them proper if I purchase. 1 is Nike (Converse). 2 is Orvis. 4 is Tieks. 3, 5, 6,and 7 are all Garnet Hill.</p> <p>My current bottoms are in the Finds, and I also already own several summer dresses, but I feel like I could use something more on that front. I don't wear shorts, so maybe a cropped flare? </p>
