You can definitely have a dash of wit and still dress like a grown up! (Look at that glorious tomato tunic!) I'm very excited I was helpful. You made my night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601359 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 23:03:50 +0000 Kaelyn 1601359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, I NEVER would have thought to include "witty" to describe my style, but it makes so much sense! That's quite a revelation. When I was a teenager, my uniform was jeans, sneakers, and a witty T-shirt. I've tried to let my style "grow up" so to speak now that I'm in my 20's, but I still enjoy things like these. Style adjectives are definitely something I need to work on, and I think you've just come up with the perfect one for me. THANK YOU! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601350 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 22:51:11 +0000 viva 1601350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow -- I really admire how well you chose! This looks and feels SO cohesive. If I can stick to my guns this month and not spend, maybe I can buy several pieces in Feb or March. It's been a long time since I did that, and it must feel great to do it -- almost like putting up the foundation of a house in an afternoon.</p> <p>I think you've made inspired choices, Kaelyn. I've been thinking a lot about the movies I love lately, and I have realized how important <b>wit </b>is to me, in terms of being truly and deeply entertained: O Brother Where Art Thou, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and The Amazing Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai are favorite movies of mine. I don't know if you have your style adjectives down, but I would put witty in there. And it's not just because of the punny T-shirt. Your saddle shoes and the verterbrae tank also have great wit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Really fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601310 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 21:44:15 +0000 Anonymous 1601310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kaelyn.</p> <p>Great selections!!! &nbsp;You are well on your way to a very workable Spring/Summer wardrobe.</p> <p>I am especially fond of the color palette and the tunic tops in the first row. &nbsp;<u>I adore the shoes</u>. &nbsp;Sadly, toppers just don't get worn much when the weather gets warmer. &nbsp;You were wise to avoid adding more. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601306 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 21:36:17 +0000 Brooklyn 1601306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look like smart purchases. Fun too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601298 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 21:24:49 +0000 Kaelyn 1601298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! I'm excited about these purchases. The one big disadvantage of buying online is having to wait for them to ship. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601286 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 21:04:57 +0000 rachylou 1601286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great palette! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601218 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 18:59:11 +0000 Glory 1601218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely items, you have excellent taste. Looking forward to seeing you mix and match. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601214 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 18:40:05 +0000 Anonymous 1601214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, they all look great pieces! I especially love the tomato red tunic and the Mew Yorker tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601164 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 16:20:34 +0000 Angie 1601164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS. Lets see the new stash styled in some outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601153 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 16:11:34 +0000 Elle 1601153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all your choices will be workhorses. &nbsp;I LOVE the saddle shoes - so fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601129 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 15:16:36 +0000 JAileen 1601129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good choices. I like how your saddle shoes repeat the black and white of several of your tops. I wore saddle shoes with dresses as a small child, then got them again when I was in high school and wore them with Levis. I love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601123 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 15:04:26 +0000 Helena 1601123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is looking great! The saddle shoes are so cute. I will also be focusing on a black &amp; white base for my wardrobe, although I too want to add more color - you can't deny the practicality of neutrals, and with a black &amp; white base, any wild card color piece (such as your tomato-red tunic) will fit in and look terrific. Looking forward to following your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601117 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 14:47:41 +0000 Sara L. 1601117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are smart buys and hopefully will give that comfort that was discussed in another post.&nbsp; Personally, I love summer and summer clothes, but I seem to be an anomaly on the forum.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601110 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 13:33:45 +0000 Alassë 1601110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601100 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 12:47:46 +0000 Kaelyn 1601100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>krishnidoux, I'll be wearing them with the same shoes I wear my black pair with. Flats, boots, booties if I can score a good pair, Converse (I like them rolled to above the ankle for sneakers). I'm also hoping to find some non ankle strap saddles I like later when it's warmed up and I'd wear those with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601097 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 12:44:20 +0000 Kaelyn 1601097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, I simply couldn't resist! It was so very punny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601096 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 12:43:47 +0000 krishnidoux 1601096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats! These pieces all look very fun.&nbsp;<br />If you are not a topper person, than you are not, don't spend too much money on that type of item! ;)<br />The olive jeggings I suspect will be useful. What shoes do you intend to wear them with?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601095 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 12:41:08 +0000 Bijou 1601095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to see you got the Mew Yorker T-shirt - it is such fun. &nbsp;These are great - all co-ordinating and provide variation. I love your black and white shoes, they will tie in so well particularly with your black and white tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601090 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 12:19:12 +0000 shaz 1601090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-bought-1#post-1601084 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 11:33:29 +0000 Kaelyn 1601084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again to everyone who commented with their thoughts on my spring capsule in progress post! &nbsp;I made my final decisions and purchased several items, which I'll attach to this post.</p> <p>1. Tunic T-shirt in solid black<br />2. Tomato red tunic<br />3. White tunic<br />4. Black and white saddle shoes<br />5. "Mew Yorker" graphic tee<br />6. Tunic T-shirt with stripes<br />7. Skeleton tank top<br />8. Olive jeggings</p> <p>Still on my shopping list, but will purchase later:<br />* White jeans (waiting for Torrid to get them)<br />* Light blue jeans (undecided on which silhouette)<br />* Black cropped pants (hoping Old Navy has the ones I saw last year again)<br />* White Converse (I have a black and white pair still hangin' in there, so I figured a new pair could wait a bit)<br />* Another purse (might get the one on Modcloth I liked, but decided to put it off)<br />* One or two more pairs of shoes (I'll be looking for good deals)</p> <p>Several of you expressed concern that my shopping list didn't have many toppers, and as you'll notice, I didn't end up buying ANY. &nbsp;I realized I had more than I thought, and I really, truly don't need many toppers for warm weather because I just DON'T wear them once it gets in the 70's or higher because I run warm. &nbsp;I have some light jackets I can wear while it's still cool, and those will do for now.</p> <p>I ended up going with a lot of black and white because although I do want to add more color, I don't feel unhappy in neutrals and boy are they practical. &nbsp;I did get the tomato red tunic because I smile every time I see it. &nbsp;I decided against the blue moto jacket, at least for now, because my ever logical husband's reaction to it was pretty much "ANOTHER jacket?!" &nbsp;We DO live in the South... &nbsp;I also decided against the floral pants because, realistically, I know I'll only wear them in the spring. &nbsp;I might be able to get them on sale later, but I'm not paying $70 for something I can't wear year-round.</p> <p>And other than that, we'll see what happens. &nbsp;I feel really good about the purchases I've already made because just about EVERYTHING will work together, as well as with things I already have. &nbsp;I'm already visualizing outfits with old and new items. &nbsp;And I managed to stick to my budget for the month! &nbsp;:-)</p>
