Just stunning on you!</p> <p>I adore that jacket in 5 as well, and the picture of you and your daughter dancing makes me smile.

Great dress and bf's and you look fab all around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-have-been-w#post-1009235 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 00:35:57 +0000 celia 1009235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your comments.</p> <p>Suz, I think a denim jacket will do the trick easily for the skirt but during summer jackets is not something I can even contemplate wearing, which for a blazer loving person like me makes it the most difficult season to put together outfits.<br />I will look into your post to see about proportions, and yes, you are right this is not a tube skirt, I did try the VC one but it wasn't a good fit for me.I am glad you still enjoy the taupe blouse because it looks fab on you :)<br />And I feel extra fab whenever I know I am wearing something that relates to other YLF'er </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-have-been-w#post-1009075 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:22:33 +0000 Anonymous 1009075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 too. I also think your skirt outfits work well and then I like the really casual boyfriend jean look, though I agree that they are perhaps a tad big. I would say my second fave after #1 is the all white outfit, very chic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-have-been-w#post-1009074 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:21:06 +0000 Vickie KY 1009074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress on you. If you are going to tuck your blouse into a skirt try pulling it up and blousing it somewhat -&nbsp;or use a belt.&nbsp; I have a tan, coral and a couple of lace skirts that I am going to need help styling as well. Any suggestions you get on&nbsp;the lace skirt&nbsp;I will be interested to hear. I agree with texstyle the jeans are a bit baggier than I am used to. I love the color coral so the top was cute.<br />Vickie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-have-been-w#post-1009010 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 17:07:41 +0000 Lisa 1009010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some great looks here.&nbsp; For the skirt in #2, a simple t would instantly dress this down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-have-been-w#post-1009004 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 17:03:36 +0000 Suz 1009004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Celia - you are looking wonderful! Like Angie, I am completely blown away by how gorgeous you are in #1. Perfect dress for you!!!</p> <p>I also love those sandals.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 -- shape of the skirt is great for figure flattery and it is fresh and fun. How about wearing it with a tee &amp; cropped denim jacket and snazzy sneakers?&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 You do not look "butch." But if you are not feeling the BF, kick him out for a while!</p> <p>#4 I see no problem with the lips! &nbsp;Cute top, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>#5 This skirt is more a pencil than a tube shape (which is more tapered) and it is on the knee, vs. longer. I have just made a whole post about this and proportions that you might want to look at. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-frigid-chilland-exciting-season-spanning-news-about-vc-skirts">Also made one with </a><b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-frigid-chilland-exciting-season-spanning-news-about-vc-skirts">YOUR</a></b><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-frigid-chilland-exciting-season-spanning-news-about-vc-skirts"> top on the weekend!&nbsp;</a></p> <p>#6 So excited that we are jacket, jean, and cobalt top twins!

I also like #6 - lovely colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-have-been-w#post-1008896 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 14:51:51 +0000 celia 1008896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie, this dress was really a happy surprise . </p> </p> <p>Texstyle- Thank you. There is something going on with the bf for sure.:o)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-have-been-w#post-1008894 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 14:50:56 +0000 texstyle 1008894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - your style has really been fantastic this summer celia! &nbsp;That dress in #1 is so perfect for you and yes, it looks beautiful with the camel accents.&nbsp;I also love the white outfit in #4 and that Zara jacket is wonderful on you as well. The BF jeans are bit baggier than what I'm used to so that may not be my favorite out of these, but it still looks great as an outfit, esp. with those sandals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-have-been-w#post-1008891 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 14:49:41 +0000 Angie 1008891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't make it past the first dress. That's absolutely KILLER. Nice with the cognac accents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-have-been-w#post-1008860 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 14:21:37 +0000 celia 1008860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear YLF,</p> <p>Hope you are all doing well and enjoying summer.<br />We have been out and about and it has been fun.<br />I haven't taken many outfit photos but would like to share what I have and also some comments along the way.Please share your thoughts if you have them, you are my barometer to when I am heading to frumpville.</p> <p>1- This is Angie's dress formula. I bought this dress to go on my trip but found out that I really enjoy it. With the camel accents I think it works really nicely.<br />2- I haven't worn this skirt that often because it comes out as too prissy, that is, the outfits I come up with it are too prissy , which is not a bad think in itself but to my daily life it might come out as precious. Any ideas on how to make it seem more casual?<br />3- I have been doing some horrible things to my bf jeans this summer, wearing them with all sorts of tops tucked, untucked, you name it. They are very comfortable but I prefer my navy slouchy pants at the moment. I think it is the combination of the slouch and the denim that it's coming as too butch for me.<br />3- This outfit was deliberately thought for a 'white party' that a friend of mine had.Normally I wouldn't wear such a white outfit so I added the dark lipstick. I always find that dark(burgundy in this case) lipstick just shows that I have very small lips but I might be biased here.What do you think about the lipstick?Should I try the bold red lip in the future?<br />4- I bought this lace skirt recently and have been think of wearing it in kind of the same way I've seen the VC skirts been worn because the material is that comfortable.I have a question on this, though. Are pencil skirts supposed to been worn at this height, meaning should the waistline of the skirt be where it is or does that make the proportions not nice? Do you like the proportions on this outfit?<br />5-Lastly a very bad outfit photo and a combination you have seen before on Suz but I ended up buying this Zara jacket and paired it with a high low top , my long&amp;lean white jeans and boutique 9 oxfords. Although I still think about the kimono I returned the colors of this jacket work much better with the rest of my wardrobe. (And for those wondering DD and I are dancing in the photo)</p> <p>And this is it. Thank you for looking and reading .&nbsp;<br />Your comments would be appreciated. </p>
