That's a great outfit! Joe Fresh sometimes has some surprises. Great colour on you and the olive pants are awesome with the zips and fraying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316387 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 21:34:21 +0000 Tanya 2316387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, both of them.&nbsp; You look great in lilac and the linen top has a cool architectural vibe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316350 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 17:01:27 +0000 Jonesy 2316350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful looks! I love linen in all its iterations, and how fab that you found a Canadian made-to-order shop that suits you so well! You look equally lovely in the lilac and the taupe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316333 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 13:59:53 +0000 Angie 2316333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking swish and fab as always, <b>LJP</b>!</p> <p>Sooooo great you're on Team Lillac, because it suits you to a tee! Looks fab with the olive, and the way you pulled it all together with the light shacket, sneakers, and crossbody in #6 = KILLER. Contrast is your friend. The sneakers look fab with the shacket! A good match and not isolated to my my eye. MODERN.&nbsp;</p> <p>FWIW, I believe that most retailers we shop from here on YLF have a sustainable and ethical component. Some more so than others, of course! Zara, BR, and H&amp;M for example produce a lot more sustainably and ethically than we give them credit for. Things are far less of an issue these days than they were say 5 to 10 years ago. I've been keeping my beady eye on things, and <i>generally</i>&nbsp;most retailers that we talk about here have taken responsible manufacture to heart in some small or large way. They are trying!&nbsp;</p> <p>#7 = KILLER to the Power of KILLER.</p> <p>THIS is what you have been aspiring to, and succeeded! Rocking it, and please carry on! Sooooo glad the top is an earth tone :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Great with the topper in #12 too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316330 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 13:10:45 +0000 LJP 2316330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am editing my hair comment to read "dramatically thinning" instead of losing hair . Big difference. &nbsp;Rogaine has nothing to do with hair falling out - it promotes NEW hair growth in areas where there is little or none. And yes, I know that you are committed once you start. I thought I'd give it a year and see if it helps the lack of new growth. &nbsp;I might try rosemary oil too . &nbsp;</p> <p>Cedar &amp; Vine has a sleeveless swing tank top that I might order &nbsp;Also a table runner and pillow cover . &nbsp;I actually thought I ordered this new top I have in a burnt orange colour so was pretty surprised to find this taupe shade - lol. They were right , I did order it in that colorway but am interested in other shades . &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316328 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 13:03:43 +0000 Janet 2316328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Brooklyn said! I love that linen top. That’s the kind of linen I can get behind — too many linen pieces don’t vibe with my style but I really like that one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316327 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 12:48:17 +0000 ChristelJ 2316327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous linen top! Very unique and flattering. Love the fact that it's heavier fabric. Would love to see what you get in future from that company, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316325 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 12:33:28 +0000 RobinF 2316325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these! Love the lilac sweater and sneakers and the shower outfit is perfect. Lots of showers here (large family) and it is generally Nice Casual, just as you wore, although I have to say we are not nearly as chic as you. I would not think to remove my shoes unless the weather was snowy or raining.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have just started a scalp oil that you massage in the night before washing hair. I have hair falling out like crazy, haven't noticed any thinning but figured I might as well see if this makes a difference. Plus it is supposed to decrease frizziness which I certainly can use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316322 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 12:20:55 +0000 LJP 2316322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn - yes, the sneakers are tts . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316319 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 11:45:18 +0000 Anonymous 2316319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the second outfit especially too! </p> <p>Re: hair loss- my derm had said either Rogaine or rosemary oil, but if you stop Rogaine your hair will fall out again. So I'm doing the rosemary mixed with coconut oil- and hairdresser said my hair is thicker now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316315 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 11:30:06 +0000 Brooklyn 2316315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! I like the second look especially. It has that avant-garde vibe that I think you aspire to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316313 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 11:28:23 +0000 kkards 2316313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that lilac sweater. Fab color!&nbsp;<div>And yes, what does one wear to a baby shower these days…</p> <p>“Restrained and quieter in general”, I love this direction for you, it seems to fit a lot of what you’ve talked about, but I especially like the “in general” part, as it seems to understand that there will and should always be a bit of fashion trends peeking through<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316309 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 09:23:53 +0000 Bijou 2316309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have two great looks here, I adore the new linen top, interesting without being loud. I also love your hair this colour, it looks healthy and nice and thick, the Rogain is working! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316308 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 09:01:50 +0000 Star (Lise) 2316308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great COS coat.&nbsp; Modernises the entire look IMO.&nbsp; YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316304 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 07:50:51 +0000 lyn67 2316304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a sophisticated outfit for the baby shower-love that heavy linen top it looks like linen&nbsp; is weared in- so not extremly stiff which is hard to feel and wear. <br />I always loved taupe-just slowly and unconsciously departed from it for wearing more bl&amp;w&amp;grey(for an office) but I am now adding it back to my wardrobe as is always a slum dunk for us blondes. (My SIL who is a brunette never understood how can I wear such a muddy color:-)). <br />The first outfit looks very practical (and trendy:-))-would kindly ask you please if the H&amp;M sneaks are true to size and how do you feel them. (They are still up on their website, and panning to go for these -as everybody praises them). Thank you for your kind answer, Lisa-hair is fab, too:-)).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316303 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 07:22:52 +0000 Jessikams 2316303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dermatologist suggests zinc and vitamin D for hair growth, if you’re not already taking those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316292 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 01:44:27 +0000 Jaime 2316292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the second outfit especially. I have similar shoes in several colors and they are summer staples. Interesting point about the car mirror - the older I get the more I find that every light and mirror tells a different story. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316291 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 01:34:31 +0000 Indigoprint 2316291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love how you say "library you know the drill..."<br /> Library is also one of my weeklys. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316290 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 01:13:49 +0000 Irina 2316290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you, Lisa, we had +12 on Saturday and 0, feels like -2 today! What gives???<br />Great outfits. Yes, for me linen is a summer material but you felt comfortable, so it worked beautifully for you. I love all sorts of linen fabrics, from shirting to a jacket weight! I’m a huge fan! Your top looks absolutely fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316287 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 23:51:37 +0000 LJP 2316287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah , the pants have an elastic waist band PLUS a zip fly. Really great - to the point where I’m going to see what other colour options are available . </p> <p>My punishment for wearing linen today is a “ winter storm warning for 15 cm of snow “ over the next few days . Winter ??? It’s April ! I was completely comfortable in this outfit - the house was hot and I was thankful for not being overdressed . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316281 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 23:28:33 +0000 Suz 2316281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the lilac colour on you, <b>Lisa</b> -- and the texture of the top, as well. It's amazing how a simple detail like that can lift a piece and make it more wearable. </p> <p>And hurrah for those linen pants -- what a great score! So they really have a fly and proper waist? That seems so much more "finished" feeling than the description suggests. These have workhorse potential. Cotton-linen blends are fantastic! I think they wrinkle less than pure linen (at least the thinner varieties) and tend to drape really well while remaining just as cool.&nbsp;</p> <p>The new linen top looks beautiful as well. I'm amazed you were warm enough (I was in wool and puffer today for an outing to the vet!). You looked elegant and sophisticated and the "house mules" were the perfect touch.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316279 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 23:26:28 +0000 Helena 2316279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOu look great ... love you in lilac and that linen top is really special! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316275 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 22:27:51 +0000 LJP 2316275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dee - I associate linen with summer too &nbsp; The top is quite a heavy weight though so felt &nbsp;perfectly fine today - my signal to the weather gods to bring us spring maybe? &nbsp; . &nbsp;That sheer-ish , crumply thin linen in not my thing - this is very different . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316274 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 22:19:18 +0000 Style Fan 2316274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits look great.&nbsp; I love the handmade top!&nbsp; Beautiful design.&nbsp; I have been to a few baby showers in the last couple of years and had no idea how to dress.<br />I always bring shoes to wear inside.&nbsp; My feet need support. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316273 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 21:56:53 +0000 Dee 2316273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, the lilac sweater works nicely with the Anthro zip jeans and sneaker combo.&nbsp;</p> <p>That hand-made linen top is fab, great cut and love that colour too. <br />For some reason I only associate wearing linen in the summer. The Gap pants are a nice silhouette on you, and good choice of necklace, it has an artsy vibe to it. I’m sure you were more than appropriately dress for the shower. </p> <p>Good idea to bring your mules to finish off the outfit, hate wearing just socks, they don’t do any outfit justice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316267 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 21:03:36 +0000 Sal 2316267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great Lisa! I like them both including the dark strap on the bag! Great fit on everything!</p> <p>Shoe on and off etiquette is tricky - knee High boots and a dress are never a good house party choice because once you are in your socks and dress it feels very wrong! Yes I learnt the hard way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-looks-wiw-41-223#post-2316262 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 20:29:14 +0000 LJP 2316262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>First up</b> is what I wore for running around on Saturday. You know the drill: library, drugstore, dollar store, grocery store, and then some mother-daughter shopping at our favourite garden centre/boutique.  Neither of us bought anything - other than two little cat grass plants  </p> <p><b>lilac sweate</b>r - <b>Joe Fresh</b> - love this thing, cheap and highly unlikely to be ethically made but fit and comfort and washability are 10/10<br /> new dark <b>olive ankle zip jeans</b> - <b>Sanctuary</b> (from Anthro - no find available ) <br /> <b>wool coat</b>- <b>Aritizia</b><br /> <b>jewellery - mix of Pilgrim and Jenny BIrd</b><br /> <b>bag- Baggu </b>(my daughter upon seeing it : you have a Baggu?? ) <br /> <b>sneakers - H&amp;M</b> (ridiculously comfortable and cheap and worth repeating in a diff colour) </p> <p>observation:  yes I wish the bag had a lighter colour strap; it is a dusty lilac  and green combo though  - thus the reason for wearing it here.  Might wear an olive sneaker or loafer next time. The sneakers felt fine, but in photos look a little isolated. </p> <p><b>Second look</b> is for a baby shower DD and I are going to this afternoon .     I haven't been to a baby shower in 25 years, and had no idea how to dress. </p> <p>new<b> linen made-to-order top</b> - <b>Cedar &amp; Vine </b><br /> new l<b>inen pants</b> - these are awesome !! -<b> Gap</b>  - find description is incorrect; these have a fly and waistband and fit like an absolutely dream, which NEVER happens to me.<br /> old f<b>aux suede mules</b> to be worn as house slippers there -<b> ON </b>(like what is the etiquette for shoes inside for a shower?)<br /> <b>bag - Fendi</b><br /> jewellery -<b> bakelite vintage Martha Sturdy bangle</b> and acrylic random necklace bought years ago.  <br /> <b>coat  - COS </b></p> <p>Observation: should have worn a brighter lipstick, felt a bit colourless when I checked myself out in the car mirror , lol.  Just received the linen top yesterday, and am already planning on ordering something else from this Saskatchewan maker.  It was pretty $$, but it *is* handmade and very unique.  The linen is very heavy - that drapey and cool hand that I love.  The sleeves did get squished inside my coat, but not so terribly wrinkled that I really noticed.  </p> <p>My style feels very erratic right now . I'm leaning toward the second outfit as the direction I'd like to take.  Restrained and quieter in general.  Need to get a handle on my hair - not sure what direction I want to go but I think it will be back to one  longer side/front and a clipped other side.   I prefer it neat and with a defined cut .  My hair is thinning at an alarming rate it seems, and my stylist suggested Rogaine, which I've started using .  How did I become old?  </p>
