I honestly never know if I like something until I test in out. I like the button down look especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---sals-july-challenge---wk-2#post-2042167 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 06:45:20 +0000 Jenni NZ 2042167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love outfit 1, the green suits you so well. Does it matter that much if a tiny bit of bra shows? I think YLF but you have to feel it of course... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---sals-july-challenge---wk-2#post-2042139 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 04:07:37 +0000 Anonymous 2042139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all these but my favorites are 2 and 5. You have such beautiful hair. The color of that last top and green are especially pretty with your coloring. I am looking forward to seeing more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---sals-july-challenge---wk-2#post-2042130 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 03:48:52 +0000 kellygirl 2042130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great analysis! 3 is my fave followed by 1 and 2. I like the belt and the lace detail in 1–it looks finished and put together. Same with 2. Looking forward to seeing how next week goes! 5 is a nice simple look—nothing wrong with that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---sals-july-challenge---wk-2#post-2042058 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 23:13:39 +0000 taylor 2042058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think you look gorgeous in all!<br /> Love the green on you with your hair color and top tucked ! Fabulous!<br /> The amber shirt in #5 , also fabulous.</p> <p>You might feel like your tee shirt and jeans formula uninspiring, but honestly you pull it off beautifully. You look chic , stylish and current.</p> <p> I think it is easy to look sloppy and unkempt in a t shirt and jeans ....I see it every day , but your clothes fit you so well and with you attention to detail it really works. I’m inspired:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---sals-july-challenge---wk-2#post-2042025 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 22:03:11 +0000 Helena 2042025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you LOOK gorgeous but I love the idea of using the challenge to analyze what's working for your life right now. I do think you need to be very gracious with yourself when it's difficult weather. I love the shirt in 3; maybe the looser fit is speaking to you right now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---sals-july-challenge---wk-2#post-2042016 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 21:44:46 +0000 Sal 2042016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 2 3 but understand why 1 was annoying!!&nbsp; 2 and 3 look great actually:)&nbsp; The shape of the tee in 1 really suits you and I like the jeans too.</p> <p>I had a good week this week with my clothes but have a couple of pieces that I am wondering how I will style...... (so why do I have them).&nbsp; There is a weather/occasion aspect as well (for example if you don't get cool days some things won't get worn or if you don't have any dressy needs).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---sals-july-challenge---wk-2#post-2042003 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 21:25:49 +0000 Cardiff girl 2042003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was away when this challenge started but there is obviously value in it in the way you have analyzed your outfits and decided what does and doesn't work for you.I would entirely support a total polyester ban once temperatures go over 20 degrees Celsius! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---sals-july-challenge---wk-2#post-2041974 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 20:29:17 +0000 nemosmom 2041974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>I continue to dust off unworn summer items for Sal's July Challenge. I can easily see why most of these don't get worn, and some items have already been put in the donation bag. </p> <p>I almost didn't post this week, as I continue to struggle with styling for summer, and am feeling super grumpy and unmotivated to look even <i>remotely</i> put-together in the hot weather.</p> <p>#1: Was testing this top and BF jeans (pre-pedicure) while running errands. I love the open weave, but the armholes are too low, and my bra peeks out of the lacework. Because the neck is already high the armholes can't be easily raised without messing up the lace, and I don't want the mental load of remembering to wear a jacket over it. Next! </p> <p> </div><div><br /> </div><div>#2: More errands in day 1's jeans (again) with a tank and old linen shortsleeve open weave cardi. I like the jeans better with the hip area covered, so they gain a pass for now. The neckline on the tank is too low but I can fix that. Had the linen cardi in holding and actually liked wearing it.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>#3: Inspired by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/button-down-challenge">RunCarla's button-up shirt</a> experiment, I pulled out an old chambray/pink dot Caslon shirt for casual meeting with my volunteer group. I futzed with tying it, tucking it, etc., but couldn't make it work. I like the pieces, so that's a win. Carla is right - a cotton shirt is cooler than a tee! </p> <p>#4: Testing this red floral top and Levi skinny jeans. Ugh, more polyester and too-tight jeans. Happiness factor minus 10. :(&nbsp; Jeans went to the holding zone, top will get passed on. </p> <p> </div><div><br /> </div><div>#5: Put this on after changing out of #4. My trusty ol' jeans+tee formula, and completely uninspiring. Wore jeans with embroidery for interest, and a Chan Luu beaded necklace. Not my favorite of the week, but it works.<br /> </div><br /> I really didn't feel good in ANY of these looks - nothing felt like ME (3 was close, but not quite)... so, I hope to take some time over the weekend to review my closet and notes. I will rejoin the challenge on Monday.</p>
