Thanks for mentioning the outlet stores, I had completely forgotten about them. New shopping territory! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul/page/2#post-1686901 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 03:38:55 +0000 jenanded 1686901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What perfectly cute choices! I love the magenta tee and sneakers in the last pic... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul/page/2#post-1686877 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 02:55:33 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1686877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Beth Ann, the answer to your question about what I wear Winter weekends is even more shameful than the warm-weather situation. &nbsp;I hadn't even thought about it until you asked! &nbsp; I actually wear the same shorts and t-shirts, with a hoodie on top. &nbsp;Sometimes some Uggs on the feet as slippers. &nbsp;That part isn't the shameful part. &nbsp;What's bad is if I still feel cold even with the hoodie ... I just grab the throw off the sofa and wear it like a sarong. I can go half the day like this! &nbsp;:O &nbsp;</p> <p>Now if I leave the house to go to the dog park, I have some sweats I wear. &nbsp;(Husband hates the sweats -- maybe even more than the blanket-sarong, though he's no fan of that either. &nbsp;I guess this is why I don't wear them at home.) &nbsp;And if I'm going further than the dog park, I wear jeans. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>In my defense, I'm on the Texas Gulf Coast (Houston area) and Winter is mercifully short. &nbsp;But yes, I must come up with a better plan this year!</p> <p>Angie -- you are a terrific mentor for this group! &nbsp;Most important to me is your reminder is to be thoughtful, and this is exactly the challenge I need. &nbsp;If my answer to Beth Ann's question above does not prove it, I don't know what does!</p> <p>Adela -- I'm honored to have provided a spark for your own weekend transformation! &nbsp;I think you're right that weekend wear is the perfect place for having fun with colors or patterns, especially if you need to be restrained in your everyday wear.</p> <p>viva -- I can visualize that combo and it sounds fab-- probably all the better for a clean color palette doesn't compete with the citron! &nbsp;I have never tried a knit dress like that, but was tempted, especially at that price point ... but alas my size is gone. &nbsp; Maybe style to keep in the back of my mind.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul/page/2#post-1686698 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 21:09:41 +0000 viva 1686698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, your comment about the citron cardigan with a tank makes me think it would be great over this dress (just bought from Nordstrom for vacation) -- with woven sandals or white sneakers. Not as lively as your footwear, but I think it will work. Thank you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul/page/2#post-1686672 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 20:05:58 +0000 Adela 1686672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read your post, thought about it and realized I have a similar problem with my weekend or "home" wardrobe- in winter I wear yoga pants and t-shirts, and in summer I just wear some "old" things, mostly skirts, which are dated and make me feel and look older- so i went out and bought some new dresses and t- shirts for summer in fun colors that make me happy! Some of them are in colors that I don't usually wear, others have patterns that I like but wouldn't wear them for work... and dresses are a bit too short but hey- perfect for wearing inside my home. While at it, I also got some new pyjamas and night shirts, also summery...That felt great. So, thank you very much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul/page/2#post-1686412 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 12:47:32 +0000 Angie 1686412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm doing a happy dance!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1686404 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 12:37:47 +0000 Beth Ann 1686404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dresses are so nice and cool in the Summer, and these are perfect for weekend living. &nbsp;Well done! &nbsp;What do you wear for winter weekends? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1686235 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 01:16:34 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1686235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa! My day got busy yesterday and I am just getting back here ... I am surprised to see so many responses! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Rachylou, chouette22, JAileen, jill58, CocoCat, Chris987, unfrumped, Peri, Lyn D., lynn, bonnie, Elizabeth P, marble, UmmLila, Summer, El Cee, cjh -- thanks for the compliments! &nbsp;I do think that the past few months at YLF helped -- I learn so much from the thoughtful approach so many here take to wardrobe building. &nbsp;I spent a couple of weeks trying to understand both the root causes that brought me to where I was, and what I really wanted out of a weekend wardrobe -- definitely something I have never done before!</p> <p>Suz, &nbsp;Lucy, Helen11, shevia -- thanks for the feedback on that back cutout. &nbsp;It's definitely outside my comfort zone, but not so far out that I can't get used &nbsp;to it. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>AJ -- that is a good point about the sunscreen -- I would never have thought of it. &nbsp;That patch of skin sees precious little sun so I'd probably burn and not be able to lean back in a chair for a week!</p> <p>DonnaF -- &nbsp;I am used to shopping for workwear only, so part of it is just my eye needing to adjust to the shorter length in its appropriate context. &nbsp; I also am quite long between waist and crotch, which means that skirts look longer on me than they feel, if that makes any sense. &nbsp;</p> <p>Dresses #1 and #2 do have some armhole gapping from the right angle. &nbsp;But knowing I planned to wear them in casual settings, most likely with a sports bra underneath, I decided it was no big deal. &nbsp;Were they for work I might have made a different assessment.</p> <p>MsGreer -- yes, that's Dinky! &nbsp;I'm surprised you remember! &nbsp;BTW, Dinky is so attentive in these photos because I hadn't taken him on his morning walk yet and he knew he was entitled to one!</p> <p>smittie -- I think that I did get uncommonly lucky, as I usually struggle to find dresses that fit me. &nbsp;In fact, prior to this shopping trip I only owned one dress that I didn't make myself. &nbsp;</p> <p>viva -- that is only the tiniest fraction of my sneaker collection -- I should probably be ashamed, but I love them, and they aren't hurting anyone (so long as they don't poke the towers of shoeboxes in my walk-in closet ...) &nbsp; I'm still thinking about that citron cardigan and how nice it would look with jeans and a white or black tank ... hopefully it will still be there come the weekend when I can get back over there!</p> <p>... and last but not least, Angie -- a "well done" from you means a lot. &nbsp;I can safely say that this shopping trip would not have been successful without YLF -- heck, it probably wouldn't even have happened!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685950 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 14:27:37 +0000 Angie 1685950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you addressed your "pajama weekend style"! This is SO MUCH MORE FAB. Well done, and you look terrific. The first three dresses are my favourite.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685925 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 14:05:28 +0000 cjh 1685925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful! Now you will LOVE getting dressed on summer weekends. I think the tops you have with the skirts look perfect, also. Good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685887 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 12:37:41 +0000 El Cee 1685887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all these outfits. Fabulous summer looks!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685877 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 12:10:22 +0000 viva 1685877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic haul - and you do have an extraordinary sneaker collection! These dresses are perfect for them and look great on you. I love the neckline/sleeve of the polka dot - lovely with your shoulders. But I really love all the looks and all the shoes.</p> <p>Ps I have that citron Loft outlet cardigan. I think you need to go back and get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685835 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 09:46:16 +0000 Summer 1685835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you for getting your weekend look sorted.&nbsp; You did amazingly well to find all those dresses in one go!&nbsp; All are lovely, but I think 3. is particularly stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685815 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 07:10:33 +0000 AJ 1685815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a successful shopping trip! My favorite is the spine portal dress. Don't forget to sunscreen the spine. I'm giggling about your future tan lines! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685735 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 02:23:18 +0000 Jaime 1685735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are terrific! I understand your feeling about the cut out on the blue dress - and I would feel the same - but on second thought why not? Anyway, these look like perfect throw on and look fab casual pieces.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685731 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 01:57:50 +0000 Anonymous 1685731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you did incredibly well! If only I could shop half as well as you do.<br /> These casual dresses and skirts really are a few steps above what you wear to bed, aren't they?<br /> I really like all of them RWS, but I think my favorites are the ones that I would pick for myself, so the blue and white striped dress and skirt.<br /> I love that purple top too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685723 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 01:24:03 +0000 MsGreer 1685723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very Cute, I love #1 and also the cut-out looks great on you.

I love how you are pairing casual dresses with sneakers...one of my goals for the summer but I'm not there yet. Thanks for the inspiration!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685663 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 22:11:40 +0000 unfrumped 1685663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, cool sneaker collection!<br />These are great casual dresses, and the cutout is no problemo.<br />I especially like the deeper colors on you plus&nbsp;#1 stripey dress for&nbsp;the style of it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685661 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 22:02:03 +0000 Helen11 1685661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A big yes to dresses for hot summer weather! I really like the one with the cutout, it's not revealing, IMHO. Also love the colour of #5. You had a really successful shopping trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685659 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 22:01:04 +0000 Chris987 1685659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These dresses all look so good with sneakers, and great on you!&nbsp; I like #1 and 5 the best. I too can totally relate to more or less ignoring the weekend wardrobe, although I don't wear regular clothes to sleep in </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685654 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 21:47:02 +0000 Cococat 1685654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great buys and all of the dresses look good with sneakers. The last look is my favourite. The colours of the top and shoes are gorgeuos on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-wardrobe-overhaul#post-1685644 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 21:16:25 +0000 Lucy 1685644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look like you've been doing "breezy summer frocks" for years! All great buys, so much so that it is hard to pick a favourite. <br />For what it's worth, I don't think the cutout is enough to be a problem - it's cute, rather than anything else. I love the dress all over! &nbsp; </p>
