Your legs look a mile long! Maybe untuck the top and just scrunch it a bit?

I've actually worn polo/turtlenecks and other sweaters through the first month of summer in the last couple of years.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324282 Thu, 25 May 2023 12:35:12 +0000 Helena 2324282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone :)</p> <p>Hmm Rachy that one is a few years old ... I love the details of it but the colour I sometimes find doesn't appeal to me for some reason ... This spring has been long and cool, which seems to be the perfect weather for it, so it's seeing more wear (like it with white quite a bit) ... It feels a bit dull to me with denim for some reason ...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324273 Thu, 25 May 2023 10:14:00 +0000 Anonymous 2324273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #4 and #5 especially!

I think these outfits look great, such a nice restraint colour palette too, suits you well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324242 Wed, 24 May 2023 21:01:18 +0000 Helena 2324242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>Irina, they don't match, which doesn't bother me at all, although I know for some people this is important! I actually had silver earrings on to top it off haha ... so a complete metal mismatch </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324240 Wed, 24 May 2023 20:59:31 +0000 Irina 2324240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks lovely, my favorite is #5, very elegant. I like your shoes and a bag but have to ask if the metals are not matching or it’s just how it appears in a photo. Or perhaps you don’t care about matching at all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324238 Wed, 24 May 2023 20:39:50 +0000 Suz 2324238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hand in pocket is always my pose, if there are pockets! And you look great! Loving you in the new wider, looser silhouettes and the anniversary outfit is really pretty on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324232 Wed, 24 May 2023 19:44:58 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2324232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I am so excited to see the anniversary outfit--just gorgeous. I love that elegant bag with the shoes. <br /></div><div>You look relaxed in these relaxed silhouettes--ha! I really like the matching mocha Birks, bag, and pullover in 5. Your elegant polish shines through with these outfits, even with raw hems or relaxed lines. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324227 Wed, 24 May 2023 17:43:05 +0000 Helena 2324227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate all your kind comments! I'm feeling relatively good about my style, after some experimentation and a few false starts with new silhouettes (@Angie, look at me being patient and having fun with it! )</p> <p>Appreciate the colour palette comments ... for now, I'm super happy with the colour (or lack thereof) situation in my closet ... cool earthy tones, white, accents of black and soft blue is literally all I've worn for the last few months and it's working for me. I'm sure it will evolve and that's fine too!</p> <p>Lisa, Dynamite is just killing it lately notwithstanding they have WAY too many cropped tops. I didn't go anywhere else on my shopping trip - I started there and the budget was gone by the time I was left </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324224 Wed, 24 May 2023 17:25:20 +0000 LJP 2324224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I for one think you’ve really settled into a new look for yourself that is perfect . Polished and updated . Love the Dynamite pieces . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324222 Wed, 24 May 2023 16:13:46 +0000 slim cat 2324222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anniversary outfit is pure fab - love every detail!

They look the most “you,” if that makes sense. Very pretty anniversary outfit with pieces that can be versatile in your wardrobe. I enjoy and relate to your style as I usually gravitate to clean line silhouettes myself, though I’ve been testing the waters with some wider bottoms lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324198 Wed, 24 May 2023 15:02:32 +0000 LaPed 2324198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love #1 because that rose-brown colour is just gorgeous! #5 is my other favorite. You're really rocking the slouchy bottoms. The "seasonally confused layers" in #3are very relatable, and the crisp colours give off a great off-duty-chic vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324194 Wed, 24 May 2023 14:47:48 +0000 The Cat 2324194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour of your pullover in #1 is so yummy for you, and the texture of the arms adds interest to the outfit. How about wearing it with some sort of summer-ish waistcoat (perhaps crocheted or linen) in a light neutral? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324193 Wed, 24 May 2023 14:47:25 +0000 Helena 2324193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much! Oooh yes shoes and bag; I had meant to make sure I snapped a pic with those included but I forgot ... here they are! The metals don't match but I don't really care about that and also since they were further apart in the outfit I don't think it came into play much anyhow.</p> <p>Btw, thank you LJP who recommended Pixie Mood when I was looking for a little black bag years ago; this one was a winner and workhorse; I gave it a little update with the chain strap but also have the original long black strap so I can wear it cross-body style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324190 Wed, 24 May 2023 14:33:38 +0000 Angie 2324190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anniversary outfit is KILLER Gorgeous on you, <b>Helena</b>! So elegant. What were the shoes and bag?</p> <p>Love the matching bag and sweater in #5 next! KILLER combination.&nbsp;</p> <p>Doing the '90s shirt thing and crop top in #2. Fun!</p> <p>You are wearing cool toned earthy shades more and more - and it suits you :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324180 Wed, 24 May 2023 13:33:56 +0000 Helena 2324180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahaha Jaime, I didn't even notice that but you're right - I sort of have a quizzical look on my face there lol!</p> <p>Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement ... appreciate you all! xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324175 Wed, 24 May 2023 13:22:28 +0000 kellygirl 2324175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Relaxed and fab! All of these are so well executed. 1 is very harmonious and looks amazing. Your phone must be hiding the "pull" because it looks great to me. Anniversary outfit is lovely and the last relaxed cargo and sweater is exceptionally awesome! Fab across the board! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324173 Wed, 24 May 2023 13:20:06 +0000 RobinF 2324173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! I love the anniversary one - so fab. I also think the first jeans look great but I understand they may not feel as great. It is such a change from more recent styles that it is very hard to get used to.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324171 Wed, 24 May 2023 13:10:21 +0000 Jaime 2324171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although I see and appreciate the skeptical look on your face, these all look fantastic, including the first jeans. Your baggy bottoms project is a success ! Special appreciation for gorgeous anniversary look too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---lately#post-2324170 Wed, 24 May 2023 13:04:54 +0000 Helena 2324170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, just sharing a few WIWs lately ... I think I am settling into this new, more relaxed silhouette and the mild springy weather lately helps, as this silhouette is certainly suited to the current temps.</p> <p>1. My least favourite of the batch. The sweater is pulling weirdly across the bust here which is just a matter of pulling it down properly. Still struggling with these jeans with flat shoes but it's feeling better. I'm not convinced this is 'it' for me on my new jeans silhouette but not planning to revisit until the fall. I might play with reigning in the volume at the bottom with a cuff or something ...&nbsp;<br />2. New linen shirt in action. These shorts were my first attempt at baggy jeans, hacked. (the H&amp;M ones in finds)<br />3. Seasonally confused outfit for a seasonally confused day.&nbsp;<br />4. The anniversary outfit. Apparently a hand in my pocket is my new pose lol<br />5. Yesterday - lightweight knit with baggy cargoes.</p> <p>ETA 6. Shoes and handbag that completed the anniversary lewk :D</p> <p>Feedback always welcome - thanks for looking! </p>
