Colours are fun too! Welcome to WIW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-622511 Thu, 17 May 2012 23:40:11 +0000 Anonymous 622511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there! Great job on your first WIW! I like the bright colors in your top. Great job to try layering over a button front shirt. Your darks on the bottom half certainly make you look slim and trip (I see no pear). It's nice to get feedback online when your friends and family are clueless isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-622119 Thu, 17 May 2012 14:35:39 +0000 Angie 622119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job posting! That's a perfectly happy top to wear on Mother's Day. It makes me smile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-622086 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:54:16 +0000 Jaime 622086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great sweater and good job layering- I think it would look too short anyway. Wonderful first WIW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-622064 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:32:46 +0000 MNsara 622064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the proportions y ou created here with the short sweater, the button down underneath, and the pants. Plus, the button down frames the bright sweater so nicely :-)</p> <p>I like the idea about chambray shirt under it - it would be a very different look.</p> <p>You could also try the top half with a pencil skirt and see how that looks for variety.</p> <p>Very nice first WIW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-622054 Thu, 17 May 2012 13:24:36 +0000 Beth Ann 622054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello, Lyn! Good to see you (literally)! Your very first WIW, and already layering? This is great. I'm a fan of the bright colors, and this silhouette is working well for you. I love missvee's ideas, too!</p> <p>It gets easier if you do it often, at least at first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-622009 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:28:21 +0000 Suz 622009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on posting! Wonderful to see you. And look at those fun colours! Makes me happy to see them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-622000 Thu, 17 May 2012 12:22:26 +0000 Anonymous 622000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your first WIW, so great to see you! Love your fashionable furbaby too, how cute that she loves shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-621981 Thu, 17 May 2012 11:41:04 +0000 Lyn D. 621981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Misvee,<br /> I do have a chambray shirt I can try it with, great idea! I don't have white jeans 'cause I'm a Pear and prefer a darker colour on my lower half, but you've given me another option for this top that I hadn't considered </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-621976 Thu, 17 May 2012 11:33:16 +0000 missvee 621976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the top on you - so colourful and flattering. It seems like a very versatile piece - how about trying it over a denim or chambray shirt with white jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-621942 Thu, 17 May 2012 07:40:02 +0000 Lyn D. 621942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kirti.<br /> Kiwichik, that is our rescue G.S.P. who was curious about what I was doing, and loves running away with any shoes left out "for her"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-621923 Thu, 17 May 2012 06:38:15 +0000 Kirti 621923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-621911 Thu, 17 May 2012 06:11:58 +0000 Kiwichik 621911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Lyn - you look fab and who are your lovely friends in the photo? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-621862 Thu, 17 May 2012 04:12:47 +0000 Lyn D. 621862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Anne, that was scarier than I thought it would be!</p> <p>Deborah, the label says "At The Walk". Never heard of it before?!!<br /> The actual top is a bit on the short side which makes me think that it is a few years old. Maybe just languishing in someones drawer unworn due to the bright colours!</p> <p>Y.L.F is teaching me to be braver about my outfits choices- I usually stick to a palette of Navy, Grey and Black with scarves to add more interest.</p> <p>B.T.W. family and friends made no comments about the top, so it is nice to get some positive feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-621858 Thu, 17 May 2012 04:08:39 +0000 christieanne 621858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely layered over a classic white shirt! Good to see you and your beautiful furbaby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-621831 Thu, 17 May 2012 03:18:01 +0000 Deborah 621831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Lyn, great first WIW! I love that jumper. The colors are lovely and I realize you thrifted the jumper\sweater but what brand is it? Its very unsual </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-621830 Thu, 17 May 2012 03:16:30 +0000 anne 621830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn - we finally get to see you! Yay! I like the jumper and the outfit in general. A great Mother's day outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-first-wiw-for-late-mothers-day-lunch#post-621828 Thu, 17 May 2012 03:12:36 +0000 Lyn D. 621828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although I am addicted to this forum this is my very first W.I.W. with photo!<br /> I recently thrifted this VERY colourful knit . Prior to Y.L.F I would have worn it on its own, but it really needed to be layered. I would never have thought to adjust the sleeve length and add a button-down.<br /> Black skinny jeans and flat boots, G.S.P. called 'Lottie' and Oh No- the photo is sideways!<br /> P.S. A piece of tomato from a delicious Greek salad ended up on the shirt and left a reddish splurge! </p>
