It is a winner in every way. </p> <p>My best purchases might just have been 2 "free" items from consignment - my bright print ootton skirt, and the top I got there to go with it, plus the flat black sandals. It felt like such a quintessential "fun" summer outfit - easy, breezy, fresh, a bit retro. </p> <p>Another favourite was my nautical sweater (waving at MaryK, sweater twin). When I was in the cooler mountain air I wore this almost every day. </p> <p>Bonus: family pics. My 87 year old mum, and my daughter and hubs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year/page/2#post-714175 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:50:07 +0000 MNsara 714175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, merwoman, how could I forget about my coral toes all summer?! I think that's why I loved my fluorescent coral clutch so much - they seemed to match! I'm still not tired of mine either </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year/page/2#post-714161 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:16:38 +0000 merwoman 714161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As my mom would say - that blazer owes you nothing! Isn't it great to have such a blazer that transforms everything?<br /> I've been pondering your question - and it's really hard to point to one item. I felt this summer that I really enjoyed my wardrobe and gave all the players a fair rotation.<br /> However...one thing that surprised me. I bought this beautiful coral shade of polish that has been on my toes all summer - and I still am not tired of it! Love looking at my toes especially in a pair of sandals I purchased at the beginning of summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year/page/2#post-714153 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:01:04 +0000 Gaylene 714153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An $8 blue/purple cotton ikat pull-on skirt from Joe Fresh that I tossed into my grocery cart along with my orange juice and fresh veg on an early summer grocery trip. It was hanging on the sale rack, marked down from $16.</p> <p>It was constantly in the wash this summer because it never needed ironing and worked with all my tops. The CPW for this thing must be about $.02. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year/page/2#post-714138 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 23:42:32 +0000 Jjsloane 714138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with your choice. I have a white Denim jacket I wore to death, but overall it's a tossup but the consignment purchases win by a longshot: My 7FAMK crop Josefina skinny bf jeans (1-2 consignment purchase) and BR slim denim bermudas (3) by far got worn at every turn, also J Crew Tunic top (4) (also Consignment) and my favorite sandals EVER: <a href="http://www.6pm.com/clarks-woodward-willow-black-leather" rel="nofollow">http://www.6pm.com/clarks-wood.....ck-leather</a><br /> Clark's Woodward Willow (recommended by Natalie) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year/page/2#post-714123 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 23:18:05 +0000 JAileen 714123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought some Kork-Ease sandals. I loved them with skirts, slacks and capri pants. Because of their height I always felt slimmer, yet because of the wedge, they were kind to my feet.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kork-ease-ava-wedge-sandal/3308254?origin=PredictiveSearch&#038;contextualcategoryid=2376778&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ko.....sultback=0</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year/page/2#post-714116 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 23:02:27 +0000 Laura 714116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that tuxedo jacket, MaryK. Looks great with everything from BF jeans to pencil skirts. I bet you can wear it all winter, too.</p> <p>Sparkly ballet flats, Madewell grey heather sweatshirt fabric dress, BF jeans, slouchy tee shirts. </p> <p>It was a strange summer. Hot, but I wasn't in the mood for dresses. Is anyone else officially sick of summer?? Bring on the crisp cool weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year/page/2#post-714049 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:48:46 +0000 Laurinda 714049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been such a hot summer: White Mt. 'Carly' sandals in a bluish-green and gold leopard, Born 'Kai' in Panna Cotta (a muted gold).and I FINALLY found a pair of wide, comfortable, dressy sandals (Softspots 'Neima') that work with my skin tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year/page/2#post-714039 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:38:02 +0000 Kim 714039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White denim vest that cost me only $20.00. If I'd have known I would wear it so much I would have bought 2, (by the time I thought of it they were sold out.) one would always be in the wash! LOL It goes with *everything* in my casual wardrobe, is wearable in the hottest conditions we get and adds a little "layering" love when I can't usually layer.</p> <p>Summer's MVP here for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year/page/2#post-714030 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:31:59 +0000 JulieJohn 714030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great blazer, MaryK! It looks so fresh with everything, I can see why you love it.</p> <p>For me it has been an old Talbots brown-and-cream floral print a-line skirt. So cool, no-nonsense, never needs ironing, goes with a ton of different tops. I shall post an outfit featuring it soon, and give it the due it so richly deserves. I never wore it much till I started looking at you fabbers. I got so many new ideas of what to pair it with that the skirt got a whole new life! Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year#post-714017 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:26:13 +0000 cciele 714017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boyfriend jeans over here too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year#post-714015 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:25:48 +0000 MNsara 714015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has to be my kate spade fluorescent coral clutch! I've had more fun carrying it and gotten more comments (favorable) and it has NOT shown any wear (go patent leather!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year#post-714010 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:22:15 +0000 rachylou 714010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmm... summer is just starting in SF Bay Area, LOL.</p> <p>But maybe these white <a href="http://www.tobiasmayer.com/upload-images/shoepics/large/ME-HERDA-1130l.gif">Birkenstock-lookalikes with bling</a>.</p> <p>They're Mephistos. I got them on deep deep discount, maybe I mentioned this before, because the shoe shop guy couldn't sell them to the crunchy Bay Area crowd.</p> <p>Anyways, they're very comfy. I can wear them all day. And the bling makes them kinda cute and less Birkenstock-y (my brother says Birks are a way to control population growth... ahem). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year#post-713997 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:11:29 +0000 Inge 713997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My boyfriend jeans, bright green linen button-down shirt, light blue dressy button-down shirt, all my silk shirts, yellow linen scarf...<br /> Ooh and my cream bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year#post-713994 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:08:58 +0000 missvee 713994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year#post-713993 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:08:25 +0000 missvee 713993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We've had a blistering hot summer and my lightweight linen 3/4 sleeve blouse has been a lifesaver. I paid full price for it from Olsen, but it's been worth every penny. Sometimes I iron it, but it looks good kinda wrinkly too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year#post-713983 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:55:59 +0000 qfbrenda 713983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This black and white summer dress has been worn the most this summer.

I just bought a second pair of the *SAME* MIA sandals, on deep sale, in fear the ones I own might not last another full season. I wore them to the ground </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year#post-713918 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:07:59 +0000 Sharon 713918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting! I'm choosing my summer wardrobe at the moment, so this is very helpful. I'm seeing a lot of votes for BF jeans. Do you find them cooler than regular jeans or are you in a fairly temperate weather zone?<br /> MaryK, love the jacket. I've just bought a cream jacket hoping to make it a summer workhorse.<br /> Diana, you look amazing in that navy dress- no wonder you've worn it a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year#post-713911 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:04:02 +0000 Anonymous 713911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased a wrinkle resistent, sleeveless blue blouse from Talbots. I had no idea how much I would love and wear this item. I wore it constantly and I felt great every single time. I wish it came in other colors because I will be buying more next year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-was-your-best-summer-item-this-year#post-713901 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 19:55:45 +0000 Lisa 713901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly Green Blazer. I've worn it at least once a week. And I liked it so much I purchased kelly green "jeans" in the past month and have been regularly wearing those now too. </p>
