Amazing how a change in clothing can brighten the mood :)</p> <p><b>Rachy</b>, lol'ing at the porch lemonade party ... I'll be honest, we haven't done lemonade but DH and I HAVE donned parkas, toques and snowboots to have wine on the porch in winter Sometimes you just have to get outside! It's handy too because I like my wine nicely chilled.&nbsp;</p> <p>One time DH, DS and DD decided to build a winter fort ... by the time I got outside, they had set up a projector and were all sitting in the snow watching Netflix on the snowscreen they'd built ... people stopped their cars to take photos haha ... only my techie fam ... *rolls eyes*&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Nemosmom</b>, I am actually freezing haha ... but I just couldn't cope with woolies today </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173147 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 21:04:26 +0000 Christina F. 2173147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This gingham shirt has to be one of the best things I've seen on you.

I’m usually not into the coordinating masks, but that works really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173113 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 20:08:27 +0000 Jules 2173113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha rachy we are having an actual snow "storm" in my part of Toronto today, and now I'm tempted to have a front porch lemonade party! Not much more random than various other covid era "themes"&nbsp;we've come up with to amuse ourselves at home... also to say I don't think I've ever seen you completely dismiss *anything*, lots of interesting perspectives on a variety of things but never dismissal.</p> <p>Helena, the outfit is super cute and I like the pattern mixing with the mask too! Opposite pattern scales in the same colours is perfect for modern classic pattern mixing IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173098 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 19:37:32 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2173098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning, your beautiful self! Love this look on you, and fully understand putting one capsule away and being ready for another. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173081 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 18:55:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2173081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great style inspiration!

I went straight aways to look at Draper James when it came out, because Reese Would Know. But I did have a moment there where I pictured our Helena with a big pitcher of lemonade on her porch in a snowstorm </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173065 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 17:45:14 +0000 kkards 2173065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FAB, you’ve nailed it...i think of Reece’s style as preppie lite.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173061 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 17:28:11 +0000 JAileen 2173061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your style. &nbsp;You do it better than Reese. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173058 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 17:20:55 +0000 cat2 2173058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My solution to plaid is not to buy it in classic blouse cuts, which don’t look good on me anyhow, but to wait for it to show up in accents or in another shape. I have a Clear the Rack plaid top on order for Spring that is a popover in a small plaid without much contrast with a square open neck. I have no idea whether it will work, the brand is new to me, but that shape works for me with jeans and boots.</p> <p>I also think it’s funny when folks diss prints out of hand. A floral can be on trend like those Bathsheba prints, or perfectly dreadful like in some of my high school HomeEc projects. Staud has some gorgeous sophisticated tropical prints but we all know that can go horribly wrong in the wrong hands. So I don’t rule anything in or out based on such a broad category. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173054 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 17:07:10 +0000 Jenn 2173054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You nailed it!</p> <p>I'm still busy pretending it's winter, which is getting harder every day. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173049 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 16:49:40 +0000 kellygirl 2173049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO cute! Great inspiration photo. You nailed it your way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173047 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 16:46:46 +0000 Pat_P 2173047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are definitely one of my style inspirations! And here in New England, I’m also starting to dream about spring, even though I know it is at least two months away. I always enjoy seeing your photos and love the polished simplicity of your look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173040 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 16:32:08 +0000 slim cat 2173040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look and goes so well with mask ! You look polished and comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173038 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 16:28:37 +0000 Helena 2173038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>Rachy, I agree - there is a Tennessee meets SoCal quality to her style that can be a little difficult to translate to Toronto in winter. It was virtually impossible to find an inspo pic for winter weather. That said, I definitely think there are elements of her style that translate well, at least as accents ... and I accept my limitations, such as my inability to wear plaid&nbsp; without looking like a lumberjack, where she looks like an adorable southern girl.</p> <p>I WAS going to say, defo no big florals for me, but then I put my mask on to drive DS to the pizza place for a takeout ... so maybe, big floral in small accents is more accurate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173026 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 16:02:13 +0000 cat2 2173026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would call the Draper James look Southern Lilly Pulitzer — similar shapes but in patterns like gingham and plaid rather than Palm Beach prints. I think it’s wearable any place you are likely to find plaid. </p> <p>RacheyLou, I wouldn’t dismiss it just because it’s not your aesthetic, or because Reese wears Barbie pink when pitching those Legally Blonde movies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173025 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 16:01:50 +0000 Carla 2173025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This may be the first time I’ve seen you in a button down! &nbsp;I LOVE this outfit Helena. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173022 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 15:49:14 +0000 Anonymous 2173022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just right!<br /> Sooo ready to pack away the coats and boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173021 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 15:46:57 +0000 rachylou 2173021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha. I know what you mean by Reese, but at the same time I was a little worried. Reese has a little girl/big cabbage rose quality that sometimes seems very geographically specific to her home place. Like lisap, I rather prefer your version! Just lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173018 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 15:38:10 +0000 Helena 2173018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, it's from Gap lol!! It's actually old ... prob 2014 now that I look, because I copied Princess Kate's New Zealand outfit from that year ... I don't wear it often but it does seem to come back in frequently so I pull it out every once so often - so defo worth a look for one, I'd say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173016 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 15:28:46 +0000 Anonymous 2173016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love Reese and gingham! Wonderful outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---wwrd#post-2173015 Thu, 18 Feb 2021 15:18:39 +0000 Anonymous 2173015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your version of the gingham shirt better ! &nbsp;Where is it from? &nbsp;Gingham lends itself to pattern mixing so well - and this shirt looks like a good layering piece too. Now I think I need one too &nbsp; </p>
