Outfit number four is especially gorgeous after the painting togs. I often feel the need to "put on the dog" after having a grungy day! It's like a makeover! You look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-631102 Tue, 29 May 2012 01:05:39 +0000 christy 631102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Memorial Day to you! LOVE #1, and #2 is pretty darn fab. Sad to hear about the kimono top in #4. And awesome painting gear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-631098 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:59:47 +0000 Jaime 631098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1 and 4. The gold loafers look great and I really like the red button down with the shorts. #4 is just right, hope you can get the jacket back in action soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-631031 Mon, 28 May 2012 23:38:23 +0000 Anonymous 631031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all. I definitely need clam jeans:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630934 Mon, 28 May 2012 21:36:53 +0000 Beth Ann 630934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing casual looks, and I, like the others, am particularly fond of 1 and 4! Is it even possible to have such long legs? Good luck with the painting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630898 Mon, 28 May 2012 20:10:53 +0000 Jjsloane 630898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taking a break from more painting to thank you all for the kind words.</p> <p>Angie - you 3 should definitely try a Red Family Day. I didn't get a photo of us all but we were quite a sight.</p> <p>@Shannon - I've see you triumph at casual many times.<br /> @annagybe - these are authentic distressed. I bought them at a boutique 20 years ago for $100 I think (a lot for me then and now) but I've gotten my wear out of them as evidenced by the at least 8 colors of paint I can detect on them (and I'm sure I've painted in them 20 times)<br /> @cocolion - I got them at a Consignment store and they are called Crop Josephina Skinny Boyfriend. No idea on the wash. They were a great find, they are a bit baggy but in a good way and I have to wear a belt to keep them up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630828 Mon, 28 May 2012 17:53:41 +0000 CocoLion 630828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those clams in #4 look so good on you! Do you have any more details about them? (name, wash etc) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630826 Mon, 28 May 2012 17:49:22 +0000 Kari 630826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those bronze loafers are amazing! I had trouble keeping my eyes off them.</p> <p>What a shame about the kimono top. It's a lovely piece, and I hope you can repair it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630798 Mon, 28 May 2012 17:28:25 +0000 christieanne 630798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in the clams - love outfit 4 and really hope the top is fixable. Your overalls are making me laugh and I know my DD would want be with Anna on coveting them! She loves paint spattered clothing and overalls. </p> <p>Family color day sounds fun - we only do the 4th of July but it's a blast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630796 Mon, 28 May 2012 17:22:04 +0000 annagybe 630796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it wrong of me to covet your paint splattered shortalls? Sorry about your kimono top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630762 Mon, 28 May 2012 16:01:59 +0000 Jonesy 630762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! You look awesome in your paint-splattered overalls! Every outfit looks casual yet polished, and fits you beautifully. That kimono jacket looks lovely--so sad that the sleeves seem so delicate. Hope it's an easy repair--it would be a perfect summer jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630726 Mon, 28 May 2012 14:50:20 +0000 Jem 630726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeanne, I love your outfits! (and you have great legs!!!) You even look super cute in your overalls! That's impressive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630705 Mon, 28 May 2012 14:15:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 630705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to take lessons from you Jeanne on casual style - I struggle in this area and you always look so fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630697 Mon, 28 May 2012 14:08:36 +0000 Suz 630697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You crack me up!! </p> <p>I vote totally with Angie on these outfits; 1 and 4 are totally killer in my book, too. Would love to copy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630693 Mon, 28 May 2012 14:05:50 +0000 Angie 630693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #1 and #4 are KILLER outfits. Just so perfect, Jeanne! </p> <p>Love your "Red Family Day" idea. My Greg could wear his red Converse and Rosie could wear her red collar if we had one in our house. </p> <p>And you are the most adorable lass in basement painting mode on the planet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630680 Mon, 28 May 2012 13:52:52 +0000 citygirldc 630680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey lady. I was out in your neck of the woods yesterday. After dropping hubby off at work, I ended up going to T1 and browsed around. Nothing caught my eye. </p> <p>BTW, Outfit #1 and #4 kimono top is cute. Too bad it tore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630659 Mon, 28 May 2012 13:15:15 +0000 JennyAnne 630659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soooo sad about your kimono top. It's so beautiful, and really makes that outfit a standout. 1 and 2 are very nice for a casual weekend. You look totally classic and confident. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630654 Mon, 28 May 2012 13:12:53 +0000 sarah 630654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are terrific casual looks. And you look way better painting that I do (I wear some old size large cutoff sweatpants and a too-large tank top). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---preppy-patriotic-and-paint-covered-in-shortalls#post-630644 Mon, 28 May 2012 13:08:10 +0000 Jjsloane 630644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Memorial Day! Decided red, white and blue were appropriate for the weekend.<br /> Here are a few WIWs from the weekend so far. Nothing held back here.<br /> 1. Preppy - DD declared Saturday "Red Family Day" so we all wore red. I went full out preppy in my Banana Republic denim shorts, Esprit red button down, Crown Gold Loafers (forgot I had these so maybe I no longer need the topsiders?), and LL Bean madras bag.<br /> 2. Patriotic: Blue day on Sunday running around to garden center and Lowes. Vigoss denim shorts, Boden Breton striped top, Cole Haan sneaks, Madras purse<br /> 3. Painting the basement - (For Anna) My famous denim overalls that I actually once wore seriously but have also served me well as my paint togs. Crazy shirts Sharka tshirt, fashionable kneepads (Lowes) and old teva flip flops.<br /> 4. Dressed up for dinner at family. I finally got this vintage kimono top repaired. Haven't ever worn it - too afraid to ruin it. I put it on with a Gap tank, 7FAMK clam jeans, Gap metallic sandals, Esprit belt. Sadly after wearing for less than an hour both sleeves started to rip. I guess this one is back in repair pile. </p>
