Very you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176785 Sun, 07 Mar 2021 17:34:33 +0000 slim cat 2176785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Liesbeth - I usually shop around in different places many of which have sales/promotions from time to time ( Express, BR, Nordstrom ) and some that have mixed pieces from everywhere ( Ross, Marshalls, Rack ). My current place of work have the least amount of the things I like ( in my budget ) - it maybe for the best all things considered . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176748 Sun, 07 Mar 2021 07:14:50 +0000 Liesbeth 2176748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger, for now I only have the jeans on order. It's freezing cold here still so waiting a bit for actual spring temps :).<br /> Thanks slimcat - don't you get a discount anyway? Or you're probably talking about other stores.<br /> Shevia, good for you!<br /> Joy, I tend to disregard those warm colors so I'm not sure, but I do fear you'll be better of shopping second-hand this year. You're right that early spring collections feature predominant cool colors with the exception of safari neutrals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176733 Sun, 07 Mar 2021 04:22:59 +0000 Anonymous 2176733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie’s trend reports have given me a clearer idea of what I want to wear for spring and summer. I am so ready for lighter and brighter. If I can find what I want in warm colors. Too much blue, purple and bluish pink out there, not enough coral, peach and soft gold (not metallic). My plan for this year is to look at second hand stores if and when they open up.<br /> My color for the year is white, but I do not want Ivory. I hope to find white jeans and jean skirt that pull on and need to replace white loafers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176725 Sun, 07 Mar 2021 02:54:38 +0000 Jaime 2176725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pieces look just right for your style. I found a pair of light wash straight legs or I would be eyeing those jeans more seriously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176690 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 22:54:47 +0000 slim cat 2176690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab pieces - love the color story!<br /> I’m not ready to shop but eyeing a couple of things- patience is essential for my budget ( as professional SA I’d like to get promo prices versus regular ones ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176643 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 18:56:25 +0000 Anonymous 2176643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your coherent capsule too! I've not started buying, aside from olive joggers. Hopefully it'll be warm enough when I get back home to wear them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176632 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 17:47:55 +0000 Liesbeth 2176632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bijou, lantern pants are one of those styles I never thought would work for me until I tried thrm on!<br /> Minaminu, I myself am not buying any more summer scarves while covid lasts... last year I hardly wore any. But I'm sure you'll find something great.<br /> Thanks Christel. I used to be more haphazard but this approach of color capsules works wonders for me.<br /> Thanks LaPed! The boots may become more beige or taupe (dirt proof and versatile too), we'll see.<br /> Angie, I'm curious to see your additions!<br /> Rachy, I added so much seafoam last year that I totally see that :).<br /> Thanks FI, thanks Carla! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176629 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 17:23:10 +0000 Carla 2176629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a&nbsp;<i>beautiful&nbsp;</i>capsule/wardrobe refresh. &nbsp;Like Angie, I’m almost done with the S/S shop. &nbsp;I think I just need a dress or two, a pair of sandals, and a bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176617 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 16:31:47 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2176617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool pattern on that skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176615 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 16:24:47 +0000 rachylou 2176615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with you on cream boots!

Modern '90s :)</p> <p>My Spring and Summer seasonal refresh is almost done. I shop very early in the season!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176599 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 15:26:37 +0000 LaPed 2176599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look perfect for you, and so cohesive! Beautiful colours, and I love the idea of cream coloured chelsea boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176594 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 15:16:07 +0000 ChristelJ 2176594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely colors. I can see so many great outfits made from a set of pieces like these. You know yourself so well to be able to choose items that would all look fantastic on you and with each other. I tend to be more haphazard and impulsive and have a bunch of closet orphans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176573 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 13:51:46 +0000 Minaminu 2176573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great pieces, all of them would work very well with your style, I love those colours! Agree with Bijou that the sea foam skirt is a great find!&nbsp;</p> <p>For this Spring, I am trying to find some scarves to lift up my current wardrobe, there are so many options that it is tricky to find the right ones! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176559 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 12:58:05 +0000 Bijou 2176559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these look perfect for your style, including the light coloured rain boots. I think you will look incredible in the balloon jeans, given how fab lantern pants are on you. The sea foam skirt is a great find too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-eyeing-for-spring#post-2176555 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 11:53:17 +0000 Liesbeth 2176555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always feel a bit overwhelmed by trend reports, especially since one of the directional trends is DYOT. My style evolution is currently probably more influenced by Instagram outfit bloggers than anything else! But I AM eyeing a couple of very specific trends that I recognized in the trend reports in some version. We’ll see if they actually end up in my closet – my start of season list is rarely ‘checked off’ entirely!</p> <p>Shades of blue: these are essential to my style so despite my expanding color palette I will likely add some blue pieces too. Prints with blue are especially versatile with the navy basics in my closet. I am eyeing this microtrend specifically which is a ruffle collared, puff-sleeved blouse, possibly in a blue floral. Everything else Victorian I’ll happily leave to others but I heart this style and am seeing a variation of it in every store.</p> <p>Relaxed straight and balloon jeans: The 90’s trends are very appealing to me and easily incorporated: I am loving the return of midblue with no or light fading, and already own two pairs of relaxed straight leg jeans. For spring I want to add a pair of midblue balloon jeans. My only challenge is that high rises are easily too high on me and can be quite uncomfortable. But with the overwhelming availability of these styles I am confident I’ll find one that works.</p> <p>White or pastel footwear: still on the lookout for a light colored pair of booties that work on colder and/or rainier spring/summer days. I am drawn to taupe or beige lug sole booties now featured on the highstreet and on many bloggers. But I know that I have to be careful about keeping <i>my</i> style front of mind, which is a little more refined and classic. Maybe another pair of fashion sneakers in a pastel color too.</p> <p>Beige &amp; tan over grey: I wore so much grey for so many years that I am welcoming the shift towards earth tones even though they don’t look as good on me. I think I am set with beige, tan and cognac (a couple of bottoms + accessories). With the exception of the booties mentioned above. And possibly a cream topper! The difference will mainly be that I will now wear these with cool toned colors too, not just with other neutrals.</p> <p>Tonal dressing: you know I love this and I will keep adding slowly to my wardrobe in order to be able to make tonal outfits. But I don’t want to dress tonally all the time or own many one-outfit pieces so we’ll see how this goes.</p> <p>For all else I will keep wearing both cropped and full-length pants and jeans, my midi skirts and dresses, and I will keep tucking tops for waist definition. </p> <p>Below are some inspo pics for the type of items I want to add and a couple of pieces I got late last summer that I see playing a big role this year too. </p> <p>How about you, have you got a clearer idea of how to refresh your style for the coming season? </p>
