I was feeling the same way on Saturday and got myself out to window shop in my neighborhood. Therapeutic.</p> <p>These (awesome) TT dresses seem REALLY LONG compared to their usual, extra-leggy dresses! I had mine cut off to make a top after wearing it twice. (It hit about 3 inches longer than the model.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207948 Tue, 06 Jul 2021 12:03:46 +0000 Gail 2207948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blue and white outfit.

I've been thinking about looking at Bloomingdale's a bit more often and this gives me some inspo to do so. I&nbsp; created a find fpr one pretty GoSilk blouse as a reminder . You certainly have at least one really excellent boutique in your neck of the woods - I have yet to find any as good anywhere near me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207505 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 14:46:14 +0000 Anonymous 2207505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit Janet . Super flattering . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207501 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 14:41:52 +0000 Janet 2207501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cat2, that Etta dress looks fab! Not crazy short in the front in a standing position, but I can see how that hemline may be a bit too much exposure depending on occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207496 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 14:37:48 +0000 Janet 2207496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!</p> <p>Sushi helped. A cocktail would have been even better, but I’m taking a medication so trying to stay away from alcohol for now. A nice leisurely walk around town after dinner would have helped too, but right as I got back to my car, we had a huge downpour. Well, at least I don’t need to water the garden this morning! :-D</p> <p>Chris, that’s the label. I found the top at a local boutique — it’s the second time I’ve seen and bought one of their pieces in the past month (the other one is the marbelized print tank in my Finds below). I don’t recall ever seeing the label before, although apparently the company has been around for a while. Both times I found the items on sale, and in one case I had a gift certificate. Their full prices are rather high, but I heard good things from a SA and they feel really nice quality, so I took the plunge. I haven’t washed either one yet, but they are the kind of pieces that can be worn multiple times before laundering. I like that they are casual but nicer than a tee, and are good on their own but will also layer nicely under a blazer or jacket in cooler weather. I see that Bloomingdales has some of their offerings:</p> <p><a href="https://www.bloomingdales.com/buy/go-by-go-silk?cm_mmc=google-_-Dynamic+Search+Ads+-+Main+-+Search+Partners_tROAS-_-Catch+All+-+Main-_-s__b_528084725959-_-go_cmp-11074622859_adg-113941955452_ad-528084725959_dsa-312925251722_dev-m_ext-&#038;gclid=CjwKCAjwuIWHBhBDEiwACXQYsdW_Ejjd7mXsjE6zfFxWis6CjJ_uGrLIDIx7yXjWBRNG94k6MP-LZRoCI68QAvD_BwE" rel="nofollow">https://www.bloomingdales.com/.....68QAvD_BwE</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207478 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 13:24:59 +0000 kkards 2207478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab summer outfit&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207474 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 12:58:38 +0000 Chris987 2207474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a totally lovely outfit! Hope it did the job in cheering you up ... although I'm sure the sushi helped too (speaking as a fellow sushi fan). </p> <p>What can you tell us about <b>GoSilk?</b> How did you hear about the brand, where did you find the top, how do you like it, what price range etc? I found a web site called gobygosilk.com - is that the right one?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207466 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 12:12:39 +0000 Roxanna 2207466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also - I know how that feels when you are having a tough couple of days and haven't left the house. So sorry you're feeling that way - sushi by yourself is a great way to lift your spirits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207464 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 12:06:33 +0000 Kathie 2207464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! Hope the sushi was delicious and that Jamie gets back soon. The Trina Turk dress is so much fun- I like both versions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207463 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 12:01:11 +0000 Roxanna 2207463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really enjoying seeing your outfits, J, and I hope you feel better. LOVE easy washable silk! And that Trina Turk dress is TDF. Thank you for posting a pic and not the link - if I clicked through it would follow me around and I would be sorely tempted </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207447 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 10:18:00 +0000 Bijou 2207447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit and I love Woody's soulful expression. That Trina Turk dress would not suit me either, but it is a sophisticated yet easy dress. I particularly like the graphic black and white version - which shocks me as usually I am on team pink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207432 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 07:33:41 +0000 rachylou 2207432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But strikes the right note!

Gorgeous, but too short in front. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207391 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 02:02:52 +0000 catherine 2207391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That outfit is definitely one of my favorites on you. Just seems to suit you perfectly. You look really pretty. Thanks for posting. Also, I have that same bag but am sad to say I lack those sandals but probably need them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207389 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 01:59:19 +0000 carambola 2207389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top and shorts are so flattering separately and together and the snake print bag + shoes elevate the whole look.

Love you in this length of shorts! Elegant, refined and gorgeous. Beautifully pulled together with matching sandals and bag!&nbsp;</p> <p>You ROCK white bottoms and I never want to hear otherwise </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---not-quite-a-whiteout-not-quite-patriotic#post-2207363 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 00:14:40 +0000 Janet 2207363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve had a bit of a rough past couple days, and it’s been a couple of weeks now that my husband has had to be out of town, which sort of wears on me after a while. Today I was feeling a bit too isolated after a couple of days of barely leaving the house, so after a swim and a shower, I decided to put on real clothes and take myself out for sushi. </p> <p>I tried on a whiteout outfit, but it wasn’t quite right. The top I wanted to wear was too cropped for these old Gap midrise cutoffs, and I wasn’t in the mood for the only other white top that worked with them. Although I did note that my koi fish blouse would have worked too. </p> <p>So I went halfway to dressing in colors appropriate for our USA holiday weekend. No red. I got this blue GoSilk top recently — it’s washable and it even got tested out tonight as it rained on me a little as I hurried back to my car. Water dries on it without a spot! </p> <p>Added the reptile print shoes and bag for a little texture and variation from the crisp blue and white combo, and wore the pendant my husband gave me for Christmas (a tiny pearl marks the spot where he and I met 24 years ago). </p> <p>Bonus photobomber Woody — he was trying to let me know in his own sweet way that I was late getting the dogs their dinner. My hair looks a little wonky here but it’s only halfway dry in the pics.</p> <p>Oh, and would someone please get this Trina Turk dress so I can live vicariously?It came up in an ad on social media and I love it, but it’s probably too short and not quite right on me. Check out the pink and orange version too. </p>
