(YES. You had me with the white jeans).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0621-shopping-for-summer#post-1284723 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 05:57:18 +0000 Dee 1284723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the top but totally see the fussy-factor. I've got a shirt with similar shoulder issues in the donation pile at the moment.</p> <p>Congrats on your shopping haul! Especially on the VC tube skirt, which I can totally picture it with some of your vests for the summer. And breathable dresses are definitely a HEWI this summer! Good luck with the hunt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0621-shopping-for-summer#post-1284685 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 04:46:57 +0000 MsLuna 1284685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@lyn: I'm demoting the chiffon sweater to home/lounging use (unless I'm cleaning). It would be less fussy. </p> <p>Much of my new clothes are lightweight rayon or viscose and so far they're working out. We will see what happens when I take them to work though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0621-shopping-for-summer#post-1284674 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 04:31:06 +0000 lyn* 1284674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a lot more patience than me when it comes to fussy clothes! Anything that needs more than one tweak during the day goes to the donate pile!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm glad you found some nice summer clothes that breathe! I haven't had much luck with rayon, but I hope you do. It tends to pill up into a little ball and then I get angry because I hate pills. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0621-shopping-for-summer#post-1284672 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 04:27:12 +0000 MsLuna 1284672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!</p> <p>@Ladywone: the chiffon sweater slips off my shoulders and the armbands won't stay scrunched. This is why it's fussy! </p> <p>@Suz: I am going to come back for the 2nd VC skirt. I will likely get the open back tunic top as well (the hardware is just soooo niiiice!) </p> <p>I'm hoping this will be enough for me not to shop for a month. Geez I've been out of control! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0621-shopping-for-summer#post-1284631 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 03:03:58 +0000 Suz 1284631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, this is just a fabulous outfit!! You look great in the white jeans. But I absolutely hear you on the top. I can't stand anything that slips off my shoulders. Makes me insane.&nbsp;</p> <p>It sounds as if you did incredibly well in the shopping, and so glad you got a VC tube skirt! You are going to love it, I promise you. And I do think a second may come in handy, also.&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing your spoils. And if it will make you feel any better, my shopping this week was completely out of control!! I am likely to take some of it back (hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know for sure) but let's face it, I am also keeping a lot. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Well, there's only one thing for it: Wear the heck out of our beautiful clothes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0621-shopping-for-summer#post-1284616 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 02:55:23 +0000 Peri 1284616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Things like that that slip off the shoulders <b>drive me nuts!&nbsp;</b></p> <p>But congrats on your new finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0621-shopping-for-summer#post-1284599 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 02:42:00 +0000 Ledonna N. 1284599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really look great and fresh in the blue those shoes are amazing. What makes the t so fussy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0621-shopping-for-summer#post-1284508 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 00:58:59 +0000 MsLuna 1284508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sooooo allergic to anything fussy. So today, aside from having terrible environmental allergies acting up (summer is here. Yay.), I was a bit irritated by this outfit. I get many compliments on this top but it's just. So. Fussy. Gaaah!</p> <p>On the plus side, I did a lot of shopping. I'm getting a bit concerned because I seem to drop a lot of $$$ on my wardrobe these days, but I needed to fill a wardrobe hole - a HUGE one: summer clothes!</p> <p>I lucked out finding a rayon Calvin Klein fluid button down that goes with EVERYTHING in my closet. It's so graphic and borderline garish but I love it! Best part: it's breatheable! 100% rayon! </p> <p>And the highlight of my day? I FINALLY own a VC tube skirt in black - ON SALE! I thought about getting another one in print but decided not to get it. After trying out different outfits with the black skirt though, I will come back for it tomorrow. I also fell in love with an open back VC tunic with hardware around the neck. It worked so beautifully with the skirt.</p> <p>I spent a couple hours after shopping mixing and matching my new spoils. I decided to bring back my Rachel by Rachel Roy bootcuts into the mix now that I figured out how to wear heels/wedges for my foot condition. These jeans make my muffin top disappear so I had to bring back a few body-skimming knits that would work on both the skirt and the bootcuts. I'm happy to say that my wardrobe is close to being summer-ized. Unfortunately, I did not purchase and breatheable dresses. I also had to stash most of my dresses away as they are made of midweight polyester. Most of my toppers are stashed away too, save the white jacket, a kimono topper and 3 vests. I'm keeping two dressy blazers around in case job interviews or formal events happen. </p> <p>After next week, I will begin prototyping some fluid dolman or kimono sleeve tops in rayon knit. I'll likely knock off one of the new fluid tops I purchased. I wanted fluid, breatheable, loose to help me survive summer. </p> <p>Top: Young, fabulous and broke<br /> Pants: American Eagle<br /> Shoes: Fitflop </p>
