You look fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wearing-what-i-have#post-1781407 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 14:17:44 +0000 Anonymous 1781407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Joy. I would love to wear the pin as a pendant, but finding a real bronze chain to go with it has been a challenge.<br /> Sisi, Cocoa the spaniel will be making some more appearances I am sure.<br /> Rachey, yeah, I definitely have a preferred silouhette for mild weather. It's the long and hot summer where I am struggling to come up with a formula. Real silk shows sweat stains terribly, silky poly is too warm, and of course jeans or really any long pants are out of the question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wearing-what-i-have#post-1781378 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 11:00:44 +0000 Sisi 1781378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All lovely outfits. I like your "crazy" shoes! And you look fab in that cream dress.

I see perhaps a distinct silhouette... collarless silky shirt, v neck...</p> <p>And who is your Darlin' photobomber?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wearing-what-i-have#post-1781320 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 03:59:18 +0000 Anonymous 1781320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these outfits look great for the occasions. The leopard slip-ons in 1 are fun. Love both 2 and 3. Keep the dress in 4 and the pin is a wonderful piece. Could you also pin it to a chain to wear as a pendant? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wearing-what-i-have#post-1781302 Fri, 24 Feb 2017 03:33:27 +0000 Anonymous 1781302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the comments.<br /><b>kkards</b> and <b>Jenni</b>, I am not particularly unhappy with the way the dress looks, but it is too snug to really be comfortable. &nbsp;OK for a short business event, however.<br /><b>Aileen</b>, the pin is bronze, cast in Norway in the 60s. &nbsp;I cleaned it, so it no longer leaves a mark, but the original small mark is still there. &nbsp;Not too upset about it, because I do enjoy wearing the pin.<br /><b>Sterling</b>, thanks - I like that shirt as well. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wearing-what-i-have#post-1781186 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 19:22:20 +0000 Jenni NZ 1781186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 best actually, love that top and the boots. Love the top in #3 as well. And you still look good in the cocktail dress! You're right about people not getting to look down much at crowded events! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wearing-what-i-have#post-1781172 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 18:32:36 +0000 Anonymous 1781172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number 3 is gorgeous. &nbsp;Everything about it screams gorgeous. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wearing-what-i-have#post-1781171 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 18:31:13 +0000 JAileen 1781171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #3 a lot. Very cute casual outfit.</p> <p>The dress in #4 is beautiful, and that's a very cool pin. Is it silver? Maybe it needs polishing? Otherwise, maybe try putting clear nail polish on the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wearing-what-i-have#post-1781156 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 17:54:07 +0000 kkards 1781156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>don't get rid of that dress....love it! this is just fab</p> <p>of the 3 casual outfits #3 is my fav...the colors and shape of that top are wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wearing-what-i-have#post-1781153 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 17:47:33 +0000 charmander 1781153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wear a all over printed t shirt, best looks ever </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wearing-what-i-have#post-1781151 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 17:45:14 +0000 Anonymous 1781151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to take a shot at keeping a visual diary of what I am actually wearing - what works and what doesn't. &nbsp; &nbsp;Suggestions welcomed and encouraged.</p> <p>#1 - What I wore to walk the dog. &nbsp;Actually threw this outfit &nbsp;on 3 consecutive mornings to get out and about with her before it warmed up too much. &nbsp;<br />Leggings: Athleta&nbsp;<br />Top: Cloth and Stone<br />Shoes: Joie (was trying these out to see if they are comfortable enough to take when I travel. &nbsp;They passed, so I will now go back to walking the dog in regular sneakers.)<br />Hat: A kid sized hat from some random internet vendor - fits my pinhead.</p> <p>#2 What I wore to run errands and go to cooking class. &nbsp;I learned to make dosas - so good! &nbsp;Can't wait to try them at home soon.<br />Top: Madewell - the fabric is a little thin, but the colors, widely spaced print and graceful hi-low hem (so often those don't fall in a flattering way on me) drew me in. &nbsp;<br />Jeans: DL1961 Angel - a style that fits me perfectly, so of course discontinued. &nbsp;Hard to tell in the picture, but they are a dark burgundy - super useful color for me.<br />Boots: SW</p> <p>#3 What I wore to again run errands, get a haircut and a manicure. &nbsp;<br />Top: &nbsp;Joie&nbsp;<br />Jeans: DL 1961 Angel - see above<br />Shoes: Everybody by BZ Moda - one of those crazy Amazon purchases talked about on another thread - my size was the one marked down this time.</p> <p>#4 What I squeezed myself into for a business event. &nbsp;<br />It is getting to be time to retire the sheath dresses and move on to shifts, I think. &nbsp;But I love this cream color, it's a kind of heavy almost worsted wool. &nbsp;Bonus shot of the Brutalist brooch I wear with it (It left a bit of a mark the first time I wore it, so now the brooch it a permanent fixture with the dress.) &nbsp;Don't love the black boots with this, but this was an event that involved standing on a stone floor for three hours so I went for comfort. &nbsp;Plus, I have learned that at these crowded cocktail things, nobody ever gets a look at anyone from the hemline down.<br />Dress: &nbsp;Elie Tahari<br />Boots: Donald Pliner<br />Brooch: Vintage</p>
