I need to find a job there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wth-what-the-heck-edition#post-1248474 Sun, 11 May 2014 09:44:48 +0000 Deborah 1248474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your outfit is perfect for the day. It's well coordinated and is accessorized by your awesome smile:). And I love the peacock photos, they are so beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wth-what-the-heck-edition#post-1248434 Sun, 11 May 2014 06:08:52 +0000 CocoLion 1248434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes it's ok to let our outfits NOT be the star if the show. By dressing in earthy tones you show ultimate respect to the peacocks and red hot fire pokers ( what we call them up here in the mountains). You let THEM take center stage! Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wth-what-the-heck-edition#post-1248409 Sun, 11 May 2014 05:41:28 +0000 Ledonna N. 1248409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving seeing you in your natural "what the heck habitat" wonderful post you look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wth-what-the-heck-edition#post-1248379 Sun, 11 May 2014 04:14:12 +0000 Adelfa 1248379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look radiant!

Fantasy Island! I am impressed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wth-what-the-heck-edition#post-1248257 Sun, 11 May 2014 01:43:55 +0000 JulieJohn 1248257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Girls, I'm so happy the red hot pokers got so much love, along with the peacocks. Fun to read these comments.</p> <p>Fuzzylogic - thanks for making me giggle - in her natural habitat - I love it! And I love xeriscaping too. There is a Madagascar garden at this arboretum with such lovely succulents and oddly-shaped elephant foot trees and such. Like Mars, only more hospitable. Very austere and serene.</p> <p>Dustt - yes, love those peacocks! Much was said in our group today about preening males and the less-decked-out females. "He's pretty, and he knows it," my MIL said. Thank you!</p> <p>MsMaven - thank you! And I'm glad I could stir up those memories. Come back and visit sometime.</p> <p>Pil - thank you! Glad you like the smile, it is almost always with me. I'm kind of a giggle puss.</p> <p>Ali - I'm glad you think we are cute, thank you!</p> <p>Mary - Thanks, and I'm glad you like the arbo too. It really is wonderful. And I loved your "what the heck, indeed"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wth-what-the-heck-edition#post-1248251 Sun, 11 May 2014 01:33:44 +0000 MsMary 1248251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What the heck, indeed!&nbsp; You look fab!&nbsp; The Arboretum is just down the freeway from me and one of my fave places, too!&nbsp; Love those noisy and beautiful peacocks!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wth-what-the-heck-edition#post-1248249 Sun, 11 May 2014 01:31:51 +0000 Anonymous 1248249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, you and your hubster are just too darn cute! &nbsp;I like the way the flowers on your shirt echo the pants. &nbsp;And I love seeing "what the heck" daily outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wth-what-the-heck-edition#post-1248248 Sun, 11 May 2014 01:29:04 +0000 pil 1248248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The embroidery on your shirt is certainly in the spirit of the occasion and your outfit looks perfect too. Of course your smile is a fabulous accessory! Those peacocks are gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wth-what-the-heck-edition#post-1248244 Sun, 11 May 2014 01:24:53 +0000 MsMaven 1248244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful photos. &nbsp;You picked a great top to pose in among&nbsp;the red hot pokers.I haven't been to the Arboretum in ages--but I loved going there when we lived in LA. &nbsp;Thanks for bringing back the memories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wth-what-the-heck-edition#post-1248236 Sun, 11 May 2014 01:16:17 +0000 dustt 1248236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>so my love of the peacock is validated in these gorgeous shots - why are they just so darn beautiful!!! - oh and JJ I love you in shot 3!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wth-what-the-heck-edition#post-1248214 Sun, 11 May 2014 00:57:50 +0000 fuzzylogic 1248214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhhh, and here we see the 'real JJ' in her natural habitat (salvias and rod hot pokers apparently!).... Giggle, giggle!<br /> I see a carefully selected colour palette of maroon and khaki with tan accents, in an outfit that is totally occasion appropriate!<br /> My ideal garden would be based on xeriscaping.<br /> Fantasy Island? Wonder Woman? What a blast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wth-what-the-heck-edition#post-1248179 Sun, 11 May 2014 00:20:34 +0000 JulieJohn 1248179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spent the day with DH, MIL, and her boyfriend at the LA Arboretum. A joyful celebration of plants, of which I can never get enough! I have been going to this place since I was knee high to an agapanthus, and it is a lovely and happy touchstone of a place! Its beauty and convenience to Hollywood means that many movies and TV shows have been filmed here. So much is the same as I remember from my childhood, from the beautiful Queen Anne cottage where Mr. Roarke welcomed the visitors to Fantasy Island (#8), to the fountain where Wonder Woman held her Olympic Games (#1 and 4).</p> <p>The wildlife at the arboretum, besides myself, featured many gorgeous peacocks roaming the grounds and calling out proudly (see #5 especially), and my DH inspecting a huge banana flower with a bunch of adorable mini-bananas just above it (#7).</p> <p>Why is this called the "what the heck" edition, you may well ask? Because my outfit is neither noteworthy nor nifty. Originally, I was all geared up to wear an outfit I have been planning for days: a very summery pink-and-blue shorts outfit. But the weather was cool and dreary this morning, and after venturing outside I came back in and changed into what you see here instead. Much more comfy.</p> <p>So this is a very normal, everyday outfit of mine, but I said, "what the heck" and decided to post it anyway. You might also view this as a "day in the life" outfit, or a "real me" or "daily casual" outfit. But what the heck, right?</p> <p>Jeans - Coldwater Creek<br />Tee - Sonoma (Kohl's)</p>
