I'm in my fifties and still need to learn how to be kind to myself : )</p> <p>Which leads me to Suz's observation. I think you *are* right about the comparison to earlier photos - yay. How kind of you to think so. </p> <p>Lisa, I don't think I've ever worn boots with a skirt or dress before but am happy with this combination. They were a recent find at TJ Maxx. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---recreated#post-770345 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:10:00 +0000 Lisa 770345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great here. I really like the dress in #2, I'm struggling with footwear pairings for my dresses but yours is lovely here. And nice touch of color with the scarf in #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---recreated#post-770282 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 15:50:44 +0000 Suz 770282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a TERRIFIC travel capsule and you look smashing in it! I love you in that dress, and the coat/ scarf/ gloves combo is wonderful. You have no reason to be embarrassed at all. So sorry your booties caused you some pain. </p> <p>Just compare these photos to your very first ones and you will see a big change. You have only been here a short while but wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---recreated#post-770093 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 09:07:36 +0000 Deborah 770093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you may be being a little hard on yourself:) I think these outfits are great. The dress looks lovely and the boots are great with it. Everything here works to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---recreated#post-769902 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 02:02:59 +0000 pil 769902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aida, good idea! I feel like I need to find a more "cottony" square scarf. All of mine are rectangular and silky/satiny. And thanks for the dress compliment : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---recreated#post-769882 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 01:48:54 +0000 Aida 769882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil these are really nice outfits, and doubly so for travel! Sorry to hear about the blister though, that's too bad. Hope your feet have rested and healed up. This looks like a great little travel capsule, pieces all reused quite well. Since they take very little room, I would suggest bringing another scarf so that you can change the looks that use a more heavy repeat up more (like in #5). And #2/3 looks amazing, wow do you rock that dress! So glad you found this one to replace the other red dress. Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---recreated#post-769735 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 00:02:45 +0000 pil 769735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amiable, JR, Kirti and RunnerRae - thanks for the kind words. I always feel as if my pieces and combinations are so uninteresting and - as my late dad used to say - "blah blah". </p> <p>Angie, thanks for taking the time to comment - I'm so glad you like the dress! The booties had been worn around town a few times before Chicago. I think I just did too much walking all at once. I'm a nut for Intelligentsia coffee and walked to the shop at Millenium Square. At least I got a creamy, artistic latte for my troubles and came home with a bag of yummy coffee for my espresso machine. </p> <p>We did make it to Nordstrom but my husband is NOT a shopper. He is willing to sit and wait for me but the half yearly sale was going on and I was pretty overwhelmed by the store. I needed an experienced shopping guide : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---recreated#post-769619 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:18:38 +0000 Raisin 769619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No need to be embarrassed, you looked great! Love that dress on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---recreated#post-769598 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:06:44 +0000 Kirti 769598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---recreated#post-769523 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:28:59 +0000 JR 769523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you did really well too. That dress flatters you beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---recreated#post-769512 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:21:57 +0000 Angie 769512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to run, but I wanted to chime in quickly to say that your traveling outfits are great and that the frock is too smashing for words. WOW! So gorgeous on you :)</p> <p>Sorry about the blister. Are the booties new? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---recreated#post-769426 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:46:13 +0000 amiable 769426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure why you're embarrassed, but you look terrific! I love the dress in #2-3, especially with the necklace. </p> <p>Actually, I love them all - I like how you add a pop of color or pattern to your pants outfits so artfully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---recreated#post-769381 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 17:45:48 +0000 pil 769381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are embarrassing to post compared to other WIW's, but here goes.</p> <p>We went to Chicago for a couple of days to see friends, so no requirements to get all dressed up. What I ended up actually wearing was very different than what was floating around in my head, enough that I kind of started to panic. I knew I could have gotten by with one pair of pants, but didn't know what we were going to be doing.</p> <p>#1, #2 and #3 were day one, walking around, out to lunch and dinner. In reality the Sam Edelman booties only lasted for day one. Gigantic blister on the bottom of one foot after so much walking. #3 is the only true on site photo. Texstyle had suggested a black chunky necklace for my new dress. I had forgotten about this one that I already had, so thanks for jogging my memory Tex!</p> <p>#4 was out and about and casual dinner on day 2. Had to make the switch to my Naot comfort shoes because of the blister.</p> <p>#5 was for early departure home. Soft and comfortable Naots won out for the drive, part of which was spent on the side of the highway with a flat tire.<br /> #6 is the new Vince Camuto quilted coat. The weight was absolutely perfect for the weather. The little black purse is my travel light bag. Zipper gloves were a TJ Maxx purchase last year and remind me of Mo's shoes in her ikat pant thread. This scarf goes with so much of my wardrobe, I'm quite fond of it.</p> <p>Suggestions for improvement - and there is certainly lots of room for that - are welcome. Thanks! </p>
