Love the shoes, they are all keepers. I do think the shade of the last jacket washes you out a little and I'm sure a talented sewer like you can address the stance of the first jacket. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-springsummer-wardrobe-fresheners#post-887901 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 13:22:43 +0000 Anonymous 887901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great shoes! I like the flowered blazer. I do think the sailboat top is a bit short, but maybe in summer it would work as a light topper.<br /><br />I think that lavender jacket can go -- it doesn't do you any favours.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-springsummer-wardrobe-fresheners#post-887833 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 12:09:32 +0000 amiable 887833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks! &nbsp;I don't love the AT jacket either - which is why I posted it. &nbsp;(I bought it last fall, not long after joining YLF, but far before anything started making sense to me. &nbsp;I thought it would be good for Spring, but when I dug it out of the back of the closet, I realized that it probably wouldn't. &nbsp;So I just posted it for confirmation. &nbsp;The style is too conservative for me right now, and the color isn't a great choice for me. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-springsummer-wardrobe-fresheners#post-887830 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:55:34 +0000 Thistle 887830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love everything except the Ann Taylor jacket. I like the bright pop of the first floral jacket, the colors are gorgeous. This will look amazing with your white jeans.<br /><br />I really like the second jacket open. &nbsp;I think it pulls a bit when closed, not unusual in jackets,&nbsp;but it looks fantastic open and makes such a nice long line.<br /><br />all the sandals are keepers. &nbsp;Those are fab finds!<br /><br />i am not loving the AT jacket as I said. Please don't take offense, but I think you need a brighter more vibrant color, particularly with your wardrobe, and the cut is a bit frumpy IMHO. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-springsummer-wardrobe-fresheners#post-887826 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:48:56 +0000 missvee 887826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I LOVE the outfit in 1 and 2, and I think the jacket will look great with your white jeans too. &nbsp;I agree the shirt in 3 is too short. All the shoes are great additions too. &nbsp;I'm not sold on the lavender jacket - the pattern and style read very mature to my eye, and the colour seems a bit blah for you. But it might be one of those pieces that just doesn't photograph well. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-springsummer-wardrobe-fresheners#post-887812 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:29:57 +0000 amiable 887812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for your comments Beth Ann.&nbsp; I did already wear the sailboat top, but I'm guessing it'll have a short stay in my closet anyway - it's quite short.&nbsp; Then again, I&nbsp; could lop off those tails and have a really cropped jacket....<br /><br />And I really like the idea of a pencil skirt with that jacket!&nbsp; I'll have to see if I can find or make one soon :)<br /><br />Yes, the black peeps are a platform - about 1.5 - 1.75 inches tall. <br /><br />I'll try opening up the floral jacket to see if I can make the stance appear lower...<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-springsummer-wardrobe-fresheners#post-887718 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 03:53:06 +0000 Beth Ann 887718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You, Shannon and Claire have the most amazing thrift stores!<br /><br />I really like the floral in the jacket.&nbsp; The higher stance in the jacket makes it a little less modern, but by mixing it with amazing modern fit of your white jeans, you should have a terrific outfit.&nbsp; It'll only be 40 degrees here!<br /><br />Like all the shoes!&nbsp; Are the black peeps like a flatform?<br /><br />The blue shirt is a little short.&nbsp; Ask yourself -- will I reach for this over every fab thing in my closet?&nbsp; Will it also be a second choice?<br /><br />I like the lavender on you --- its certainly a on trend choice!&nbsp; I'm less wild on it with the pants. Maybe a straighter leg?&nbsp; Or, even better, a fab pencil skirt?<br /><br />You've been a busy bee!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-springsummer-wardrobe-fresheners#post-887679 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 02:42:44 +0000 amiable 887679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My favorite thrift store just opened anew with Spring/Summer merchandise, so of course I paid them a visit.&nbsp; <br /><br />Here's most of what I bought (a silk floral blouse isn't pictured, because I'm going to shorten the sleeves to 3/4 before I consider it wearable).&nbsp; None are returnable but they were all cheap, so tell me which ones shouldn't stay long in my wardrobe.&nbsp; (I bought all this plus Easter outfits for all five kids for under $35).<br /><br />#1-#2 A water-color-like floral jacket.&nbsp; Am I crazy to think I'm in love?&nbsp; I'm considering wearing this on Easter with my white jeans. Do you think it'd work?&nbsp; (Or is it better over this navy midi?)<br />#3-4 a sailboat print eyelet top - it's too short, so I think it'll be more of a summer jacket. <br />#5&nbsp; shiny silver sandals.&nbsp; <br />#6 bronze alligator-type sandals<br />#7 business-like peep toes with a really nice cork base.<br />#8-9 not from this thrift-store trip, but something I'd been considering as an Easter contender - a lavender Ann Taylor jacket.&nbsp; Are the colors too soft for me?&nbsp; (Do I look washed out in it?) <br />
