So sorry the tops didn't work out for you. I love that you gave the little old ladies something to talk about! Keep those great outfits coming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134620 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:16:12 +0000 JennyK (NC) 134620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for all of your comments!</p> <p>I knew when I walked out of the house with the sandals tied up over my jeans that I was doing something either very fashion-forward or fashion-flop. That morning I had a bit of shopping to do as well as going up to Boy Toy's (Lutheran) church to participate in a a charity event they were having. I have to admit that every head turned when I walked in! They are mostly an older, conservative group. I always give them something to talk about, that's for sure! LOL!</p> <p>I can't say that I follow high fashion nor what celebrities wear, so if anyone else is doing this, I didn't know a thing about it. I may try it again with a slinky clubbing top for going out on a date.</p> <p>As for the blouses... I'm informed that the white shirt is sold out in size small. The attractive price doesn't look so attractive when in the end I am going to return both. I will have my purchase price refunded, but will have spent $10 for shipping plus at least $6 for return shipping. I'll be out $16 with nothing to show for it. Grrrrrrrrrrr.....</p> <p>Angie - You're remembering my Wonder Woman comments from your blog posting, eh? LOL - If I could get away with wearing that costume, I would! In fact ... Anything goes on Halloween, right?</p> <p>Thanks for the suggestions on using a more saturated color cardi with the first dress. I think that's a great idea and I'll be on the lookout.</p> <p>And by the way - I really WAS too bloated to wear a lot of my regular clothing items last week. I had to search out stretchy fabrics and just wore belted stuff a notch or so looser than usual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134524 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:58:17 +0000 Kristine 134524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenny, I like the white shirt on you. It's too bad the purple one didn't work out. I've learned the hard way about shopping online too!</p> <p>I like your spring dress, that outfit has plenty of zip! Cold though!</p> <p>Tuesday and Wednesday are both gorgeous, classic, elegant!</p> <p>Thursday also looks nice, the red shirt is killer on you! I'd prefer lighter shoes, or nude hose to lighten it up a little on the bottom (but I guess that's the last thing on your mind when you're going for the bombshell butch look :))</p> <p>Friday is my absolute favorite, so elegant!! I love all of the neutrals together. I feel the same way about pantyhose, I hate them! </p> <p>I actually kind of like your sandals, but I'm kind of torn. Maybe push the tie down just a little so they're skirting the bottom edge? I like the idea of trying something edgy though, good for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134513 Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:34:50 +0000 cciele 134513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have nothing much to add other than you totally know how to dress for your bombshell luscious figure. You go, girl! I can't see any evidence with bloat, so your outfits must be working. </p> <p>Funny about the "butch" outfit -- isn't it similar to your challenge (menswear-oriented outfit). I could be misremembering :)</p> <p>Definitely thumbs down on the purple shirt and try resizing the white one.</p> <p>The thongs around the leggings are interesting. I'm not sure that I would do that, but you are rocking it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134440 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 23:00:55 +0000 yublocka 134440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1) Jenny I love that white shirt on you! Can you not return the purple even though you bought it online?</p> <p>2) Where is the zing? The colour and print of that dress is all zing baby!!</p> <p>3) Gosh Jenny, I don't have a waist/tummy like that when I'm *not* bloated. You've got nothing to worry about there!</p> <p>4) Why not go for deja vu when it works? This is a great combo of pieces for you.</p> <p>5) This outfit doesn't grab me like your others. I know other people like the look of flats better with straight leg than skinny jeans, but I don't for myself or for you. Your usual style is a lot more playful than this!</p> <p>6) Another Jenny classic look. Who needs casual when you can look like this!?!?</p> <p>7) Love the tee and jeans. Sandal ties over jeans, not so much.</p> <p>All up such great looks Jenny - fantastic week you have had! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134386 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:30:13 +0000 Angie 134386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits get better with each posting, Jenny.They all work perfectly well to me. You are our gorgeous blonde bomb shell and long may it last! Our blonde wonder woman :0)</p> <p>I like the sandal ties over your skinnies too. Sweet!</p> <p>Try sizing down on the white shirt. This could be a KILLER look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134334 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:43:01 +0000 marianna 134334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another great week. I think the sandal ties over skinnies works on you -- you have the long legs to pull it off! Daring and fun.</p> <p>You do a GREAT job at disguising bloat. Teach me? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134330 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 15:21:19 +0000 Sihaya 134330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved your outfits Jenny - the spring is great - so are all the skirts. Gorgeous. I personally am not a fan of ties on top of the jeans. Thanks for posting. I love your balance of bright colors and neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134284 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:25:01 +0000 Louise 134284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfits if the 'butch' one felt too butch perhaps add a string of pearls? The yellow dress is great. I'm not keen on the shoes in the last picture tied over the jeans though i think they could look great with a skirt. I hear you on the no denim rule. We have that rule and i look at some of the awful things some collegues wear and think how can that be better than my wide leg jeans and a fab top!!! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134258 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 03:29:55 +0000 Queen Mum 134258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenny- I couldn't find anything wrong with any of your outfits either. Elpgal made a good point to try a more saturated color cardi with that dress. You would probably be much happier with the outfit. Everything else gets an A+<br /> And, I really like the laces tied around your jeans. fun and fashion forward </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134178 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:32:03 +0000 Maya 134178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Jones NY shirt might be too big as well...but as I very well know, sizing down might cause it to be too tight in the boobs. Although it does look like there is some room. The whole thing just looks very...scrunchy, like there is extra fabric. The purple shirt is not so fab, but it seems like you figured that out. Shirts are so hard, aren't they?</p> <p>I love your outfits this week. The ankle ties aren't quite doing it for me either, but I love your creativity! I wonder how it would look over leggings or ultra tapered jeans.</p> <p>Your ordering-pizza-while-feeling-bloated outfit is so pretty. You wear a-line skirts really well. Your springtime outfit is also sweet, though I agree with Elpgal about trying it with a brighter pink. My favorite is Wednesday though. I love how that shirt looks layered and the belt is fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134177 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:30:32 +0000 taylor 134177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look pretty each day.:)<br /> I think you would LOVE a closet full of Pucci dresses in every color and style:) The abstract bold prints look great on you. Nice job")<br /> The sandals wrapped over denim on Sat. is a very advanced fashion forward look. My eye hasn't quite adjusted to it yet, even on the celebs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134172 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:11:01 +0000 April 134172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenny -- since I lured you into getting the JNY shirt, let me say that I think you could size down. But let me also say that if sizing down would mean ordering a Small, forget it. That's the size I ordered for my sister and they are sold out. :(</p> <p>I had to laugh reading your blog post about casual Fridays and talking to your boss about your jeans. I work in a "no denim" environment, and I always wonder why no one has realized that elastic-waist, cotton knit pants and holiday-applique sweatshirts -- standard fare in my workplace -- are far worse than nice denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134163 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:42:57 +0000 NK 134163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is also Tuesday. What I wouldn't give to look that 'disgustingly bloated'! As if!</p> <p>Wednesday: I wish you knew where the belt was from, because I love it. LOVE it.</p> <p>Saturday, uh...I'm not a fan of the ties either, but good for you for trying something new! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134151 Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:02:03 +0000 elpgal 134151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenny, I am venturing timidly. I had to stare at each pic for a long time to find anything wrong at all. </p> <p>I love Monday's spring outfit but I think a more saturated color for the cardigan would work better, perhaps a raspberry pink instead of the light pink. What do you think?</p> <p>Saturday: I am not a fan of the ties. Maybe, if they were in a different color, they would work.</p> <p>My favorite outfit is Tuesday's. I wish I looked nearly as polished when bloated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0308-1310-jennyb#post-134147 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 23:21:50 +0000 JennyK (NC) 134147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My week in clothes!</p> <p>First, though, I need your help on these two shirts I ordered online. I think I should not have tried to order shirts that I haven't tried on. </p> <p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/yc2hvfl" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/yc2hvfl</a></p> <p>Monday:<br /> I tried to force Spring to come, but I'm not sure whether it worked!<br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yle6dsx" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/yle6dsx</a></p> <p>Tuesday:<br /> Another day of disguising bloat<br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ygw99c4" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/ygw99c4</a></p> <p>Wednesday:<br /> This seems awfully familiar...<br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ylgryd4" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/ylgryd4</a></p> <p>Thursday:<br /> Bombshell Butch!<br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yk3xp7r" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/yk3xp7r</a></p> <p>Friday:<br /> Not-so-casual Friday<br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yfx86qr" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/yfx86qr</a></p> <p>Saturday:<br /> Edgy or off the cliff?<br /> <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ydcdwgs" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/ydcdwgs</a></p> <p>Although I adore effusive praise, I do crave constructive criticism, so don't be afraid to give it to me! </p>
