With your advice my spring list is: - neutral dress sandal - dress (waist flattering and sleeveless to wear with my many existing blazers now and on it's own later) -white bootcut jeans - white watch - navy and white polkadot flowy blouse -dressy Bermuda shorts - knee length denim skirt - leopard print flats My six has turned into eight - will just give up Starbucks to cover the other two items! Isabel on "Top Six" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-six#post-316267 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 01:16:49 +0000 Isabel 316267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Barabara, where did you get your teal trench ? I am looking for one because so much of my outwear is black and I don't really like the color of my off-white one ( it gets soooo dirty ).

(this is my desperation screaming here :-)) Barbara on "Top Six" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-six#post-316230 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 00:51:26 +0000 Barbara 316230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ platform sandals - that I can actually walk in leopard print flats bright teal short trench pintuck denim tunic knee-length denim skirt floral fitted blouse Isabel on "Top Six" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-six#post-316224 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 00:48:26 +0000 Isabel 316224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the idea of a white watch. That really updates everything. Like someone else mentioned, here there is a huge difference between Spring and Summer. Here are some basics that I bought. A pair of skinny, stretch chinos from GAP ( I got the black though the grey was beautiful too - I went up a size ) : <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?searchCID=25781&vid=1&pid=772541&scid=772541002" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....=772541002</a> A denim tunic that can be used as a jacket, too ( it can be worn alone or layered when it is a little chilly ) Instead of sandals, I would suggested a fun color pair of Spring boots or bootie - if it stays chilly though the Spring for you. I also LOVE my LL from the Gap. A white button down shirt I think that you could mix and match a lot of this stuff with what you already own. And if you can squeeze out a 7th, or drop one on the other six, I would really recommend a blazer/jacket of some sort.

(I was inspired by Angie, of course!) It has made everything I wear seem about 10x fresher for spring. thimblelina on "Top Six" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-six#post-315973 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 19:53:40 +0000 thimblelina 315973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I desperately want the red Hasbeens clogs that are coming to H&M next month, a flattering sundress that suits my shape, and a killer black one piece bathing suit to wear under the cute tribal print crepe tunic I bought recently. Just this week I bought a sweet pussy bow sleeveless blouse and some cute cage sandals. I also bought the new Gap cropped khakis (hangs head in shame... I know they are hard to wear but I came of age in the eighties with dorky peewee herman and short guess jeans and all things cropped and I can't resist them...) Lynne on "Top Six" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-six#post-315955 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 19:26:42 +0000 Lynne 315955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon, I am in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Spring is a really wet season! There is a lovely purple umbrella in Noa Noa that will work well with my coats. I would love to say the white watch was my stunningly original idea, but it is actually one of the things I admire in Angie's pics. Cilleena wears one, too, and it always catches my eye. I'd never given much thought to watches pre-YLF!

Might have to copy you if you don't mind! Where are you that it is so wet, wet, wet? (if that's ok to ask) Lynne on "Top Six" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-six#post-315938 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 19:07:03 +0000 Lynne 315938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have my eyes on: a white watch a deep purple patent handbag a purple polka dot umbrella from Noa Noa (it is wet, wet, wet, where i am) a statement necklace to wear over cardi's and my new denim shirt (I think I have settled on one in H&M) a blowsy floral skirt (I might make this) new boots Transcona Shannon on "Top Six" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-six#post-315920 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 18:49:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 315920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So far, the winning top six are: sandals (both light colored and dressy); dresses; bermuda shorts; jacket (everything from light trench to white denim to blazer); purse (neutral, light colored, metallic, clutch or coral colored); jeans (light skinnies, wide legged jeans and white wide leg denim). I see a shopping list in my future... I wonder what Angie would choose???

But here it is: 1. new sunglasses (my old ones have been scratched for a year now) 2. dressy sandals 3. another sleeveless casual summer dress 4. clutch purse 5. shorts 6. light trench coat MsMary on "Top Six" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/top-six#post-315855 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:17:16 +0000 MsMary 315855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmmm... I'll try. I've bought quite a few things for spring but my top 6, I think, are these: 1. White denim jacket 2. Nude "flatforms" 3. Watercolor print sheath dress 4. Metallic bag ("all metallics are neutrals" per Stacy & Clinton) 5. Red blazer 6.

I live in Winnipeg, Canada - it doesn't get much "cooler" than that! April - I think maybe you have a bit of problem if you're buying six trenchcoats!
