Yes it is plenty warm here for fruit on the trees, although luckily it was cool enough for the cardigan. We have so few days that are. I like your motivation idea!</p> <p>Vicki - hey wonderful lady! Yes, let's plan some light espionage together, that would be excellent. And possibly a caper.</p> <p>Fuzzy - I'm glad I ticked your funny bone! I loved your comments.</p> <p>Shevia - thank you, my dear!</p> <p>Deborah - thanks! I think this type of cardigan would go great with your style, which I would love to emulate.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1245171 Thu, 08 May 2014 02:19:11 +0000 Deborah 1245171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well first off you are my hero.&nbsp; I didn't last a month on SYC!!</p> <p>Love that cardigan.&nbsp; It's gorgeous and I think the teal is a fab colour for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1245169 Thu, 08 May 2014 02:18:26 +0000 Jaime 1245169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your discipline is only matched by your good humor! Capt Kirk booties indeed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1245163 Thu, 08 May 2014 02:10:55 +0000 fuzzylogic 1245163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Monkish? Tehehehe! Ready for some detectin'.... Bwahaha! I am giggling as I type! :-)<br /> I was keen to read at 'teal' as I am having a moment with this gorgeous shade. And 'noir'? Well, that's posh! So, you, see, I was compelled to open this thread!<br /> I love the colour combo, the quirkiness and the hat! I think I need to wear more hats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1245144 Thu, 08 May 2014 01:54:28 +0000 Vicki 1245144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You Teal Treasure! &nbsp;The pants. &nbsp;Your hat. &nbsp;The cardi. &nbsp;It all works. &nbsp;You look wonderful and have inspired me to begin posting again. &nbsp;I love your smile and we can do some light espionage of some kind; just name it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1245130 Thu, 08 May 2014 01:42:36 +0000 pil 1245130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see your smiling face again in a WIW, JulieJohn. Nice outfit with the teal pants and the hat is a fun touch. I am jealous you are in an area warm enough to have fruit on the trees.</p> <p>Maybe you need to put pictures of Sedona and the Grand Canyon on your closet door for motivation? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1245114 Thu, 08 May 2014 01:21:43 +0000 JulieJohn 1245114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>E - I thought of you this morning when I was putting the jeans on because I know you love blue-green so much! Thank you.</p> <p>JackieC - Thank you for the kind comment! My eyes are hazel so they kind of reflect different things, but their normal color at rest is more khaki.</p> <p>Janet - Hi! Thank you so much, sweet girl! I am flattered that you describe me as spunky. Plus you cracked me up with your self-medication comment, you are funny! But realistic! In fact I worry that next year I will bust loose and start a buying binge just to make up for my "diet". I may need that medicine you spoke of. :D</p> <p>Caro - Thank you! I think of that cardigan as a kind of Caro garment because it is my one piece that is more flowy, and of course, it's black! We are going to the Grand Canyon and Sedona which are in the American Southwest, and are gorgeous rock features. Probably going in the fall, we have been there many times and just keep returning. They call to us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1245081 Thu, 08 May 2014 00:57:10 +0000 Caro in Oz 1245081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow a year I'm impressed. Where are you going?<br />Love your smile &nbsp;- YLF. The hat is so cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1245078 Thu, 08 May 2014 00:56:47 +0000 Janet 1245078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to see your smile&nbsp;again, JJ! Always a forum brightener. I love your color scheme and your spunky attitude as always.&nbsp;</p> <p>You are so strong! I'm impressed with a year-long SYC. It would be very, very hard for me to do. Very. I think I would have self-medicated with either copious amounts of chocolate or booze by now. ;-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1245075 Thu, 08 May 2014 00:55:49 +0000 jackiec 1245075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooooh wow a year SYC? Good for you!! I like the colour of your pants. Is it just my monitor or are your eyes the same colour, or close? Lovely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1245071 Thu, 08 May 2014 00:53:11 +0000 E 1245071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love the colour of your jeans! And what a beautifully intricate blouse to pair them with. :D</p> <p>(I prefer spending money on travel to clothes too! It's worth it. ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1245063 Thu, 08 May 2014 00:49:18 +0000 JulieJohn 1245063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara - thank you and I believe you that it is constricting. I have a very small amount from a returned gift at Kohl's and that credit has been causing me so much angst. I can't figure out what to spend it on, because what if it's the wrong thing? Oh, the pressure!</p> <p>Angie - thank you, dear lady! You have a great memory. What tiara? I don't get it, sorry. But I'm glad it's safe, whatever it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1245024 Wed, 07 May 2014 23:55:30 +0000 Angie 1245024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought that cardi looked familiar, Julie. Thanks for jogging my memory - and great to see you post again. Great outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fun seeing you on the forum again, and good job SYC to save for a holiday. Your tiara is safe with me. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1244990 Wed, 07 May 2014 23:09:42 +0000 JulieJohn 1244990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I thank you for the kind comments! Yes, a pile of white and gray sounds dreamy! Now ya got me thinkin' ...</p> <p>Lyn - Good to be 'seen' by you! And thanks!</p> <p>Cciele - Thanks for okaying my steampunkishness. If someone as cool as you thinks this qualifies, I feel validated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1244988 Wed, 07 May 2014 23:07:40 +0000 Sara L. 1244988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! &nbsp;I like the colored jeans with the black and white top. &nbsp;I'm impressed with your SYC goal. &nbsp;I'm trying a very limited monthly budget and I'm finding even that very constricting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1244981 Wed, 07 May 2014 22:59:23 +0000 cciele 1244981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, always nice to hear from you Julie! I see what you mean by steampunk -- it's about juxtaposition, but your color palette pulls everything together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1244980 Wed, 07 May 2014 22:55:54 +0000 Lyn D. 1244980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to 'see' you again JJ!<br />(I am in awe of your self-control.) Love your Cardi too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1244972 Wed, 07 May 2014 22:42:44 +0000 Aida 1244972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous writing as always, and great little outfit too. Is it really cool enough down there for that cardigan? I'm happy not to see anything chunky again until fall, even if we have the weather for it&nbsp;;) The hat is fun. I think it'd be great paired with those pants and a pile of white and gray. I'll be cheering you on your SYC from here!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---teal-noir#post-1244965 Wed, 07 May 2014 22:35:20 +0000 JulieJohn 1244965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, me fabbies, it's good to be back with a WIW, cuz it's been a while!</p> <p>Can you believe I am on a year-long SYC? Yes, I am insane. It seemed like such a good idea back in January, but it definitely feels monkish right about now. If you're into punishment, I highly suggest it. Good for the soul, I'm sure. Deprivation is not my thing, so it has been quite a task. I'm doing it to save money for a vacation. May the ascended Jedi masters of fashion give me strength!</p> <p>That said, there are two great benefits of SYC. One is pairing up old favorites in different ways. The other benefit is ... wait ... hmmm ... I guess there's only one.</p> <p>I paired up these fairly new teal jeans with an agèd relic: a Mexican-style embroidered tunic. Popped on my Capt Kirk booties. Topped it all off with my Angie-blessed cardigan from her September visit last year. And with my Ellery Queen hat I was all ready for detectin' and possibly some light espionage.</p> <p>I was very happy with the pants being the colored part of this outfit, because it seemed unexpected. This is my version of "edgy". </p> <p>It's also kinda steampunk (go with me here) because the jacket and hat have a Victorian feel, while the boots and jeans are more modern and utilitarian.</p> <p>Pants: Levi's Skinny Jeans<br />Top: Style &amp; Co.<br />Boots: Hush Puppies<br />Hat: Gap<br />Cardi: Aqua</p> <p>Thanks for reading!</p>
