I love seeing these pics. I'm sorry summer is over for you (and Una, too). "Termination dust" does crack me up, though. Here in Massachusetts, we've been saying that even though it's been almost 90 F the past few days, we can feel autumn in the breeze. </p> <p>I love the black skirt on you, especially with the flowing top in #6 and the white top in #7. I prefer the white top without the black cardi; somehow, all the black looks too heavy to my eye. Also, without the volume of the cardi, we can see your figure, and I think you look more trim and svelte without the sweater. I haven't been online so much the last two weeks, so I'm afraid I'm a little behind with your fall purchases, but I'm wondering about the possibility of the addition of a more tailored, perhaps slightly shorter black cardigan? </p> <p>Keeping the length of your skirt in mind, as well as your great legs, I think your plaid shorts can definitely go, well, shorter, as Marley suggested. Roughly the length of your skirt at just above your knee. You can certainly carry it off, and I think it would be more flattering. </p> <p>And yes to wearing a black knee length skirt with tights and boots!</p> <p>Really like #2 and #4. That top was an excellent purchase! I would also say that about the black cardi and the white jeans, which you are rocking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1347136 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 16:43:56 +0000 Alana in Canada 1347136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>E --thank you! The more I reflect upon it, the more I wonder why I picked grey for a neutral. I guess I thought it would go well with my hair. But you are absolutely right: clear cool almost jewel tones to black and white. </p> <p>Angie--thanks for your taking the time to comment. You feedback means a lot to me.&nbsp; So happy you liked the outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1347055 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:39:38 +0000 Angie 1347055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is a stand-out to my eye. That column of white is just gorgeous on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is my next favourite. Very flattering.&nbsp;</p> <p>And #6 is super fun. Interesting juxtaposition of silhouettes.&nbsp;</p> <p>Well done, Alana. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346993 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 13:41:23 +0000 E 1346993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so great in drape! #6 is just stunning and that drapey plaid top is so flattering too (go moms!). But you look good in all of these: black and white really work for you, although from your k/r posts I also know how beautifully you wear colour. How nice to have so many options! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346986 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 13:31:33 +0000 Alana in Canada 1346986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lyn67--seriously? It has shorts built in--so I tend to think of it as a summer only skirt. </p> <p>As well,&nbsp;Do we worry about fabrication and its seasonal appropriateness&nbsp;anymore?</p> <p>Frannieb--I am blushing. Thank you.</p> <p>Shevia--thank you. Frankly, I am surprised at the love #4 is getting. It's just the cardi over the top and my white pants. Oh! Got it. The small black and&nbsp;white patterned top and white&nbsp;pants---funny, I don't think I wore that combination that much--though I certainly could. Thanks for the love for the shorts. They were absolute workhorses this summer and worn more than any other thing in my closet just because they were so light weight and cool.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346908 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 11:44:40 +0000 Jaime 1346908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 and #6 are my favorites. I think I want the black cardie to be more structured in some of the others. I do like the plaid shorts in the first one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346904 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 11:39:10 +0000 frannieb 1346904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I love you in the pencil skirt - You have gorgeous legs!!! I would love to see that skirt with Black tights and booties in the fall - your legs will look killer.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346872 Thu, 04 Sep 2014 10:44:34 +0000 lyn67 1346872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, is that a&nbsp;&nbsp;pencil skirt&nbsp;Alana? (nr. 5,6, 7) Yeay!!! It's P.E.R.F.E.C.T!&nbsp; See, you came to a great end with it! Love them all, trully fab summer outfits, except perhaps the nr. 1, which is fine, but for a matter I cannot put my finger on, and even I also love much better to&nbsp;wear prints on my lower half,&nbsp;to my eyes&nbsp;and your case I just preffer&nbsp;them &nbsp;on&nbsp;your&nbsp;torso. But this is only my very imperfect perception of&nbsp;an otherwise&nbsp;great&nbsp;real life look!!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346597 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 23:55:39 +0000 Alana in Canada 1346597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, thank you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Alaskagirl-- termination dust? as in the end of summer? haha.</p> <p>N-Marie--#7 was the outfit that started it all.&nbsp;I tried on that top and that skirt, bought them (and a few other things) and promptly went home and cleaned out half my closet. Oh, the power of feeling good in your clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346538 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 22:43:14 +0000 Aida 1346538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at you rocking those blacks and whites! High contrast preferences, for sure #4 and #6 jump out at me, really lovely the both of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346461 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 21:29:01 +0000 catgirl 1346461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm feeling it.&nbsp; There is snow on the mountain tops (termination dust, we call it).&nbsp; </p> <p>Plaid shorts and outfit 4 are my faves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346457 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 21:27:11 +0000 N-Marie 1346457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #4 and 7 especially- what a great top! Sorry that summer is over for you up north&nbsp;but fall is lots of fun too- sweaters! boots! And I find that outfits feel more pulled together with toppers, which just feels too hot in the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346449 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 21:23:47 +0000 Alana in Canada 1346449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marley--it is generous of you to provide such detailed feedback. I appreciate it very much. I really did have a fabulous summer. :)</p> <p>LadyLilac--yes, I loved that combination, too. While on vacation,&nbsp;I wore this "dress" to go to High Tea in Victoria.</p> <p>Neelie--thank you! I just wish I hadn't bought it a size too big. Oh well, it is super comfy until it gets&nbsp;too stretched out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346322 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 19:09:04 +0000 Neelie 1346322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>6 and 7 are my favourites...you look great in that skirt!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346308 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 18:47:33 +0000 LadyLilac 1346308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfits, but no. 6 is my favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1346306 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 18:43:51 +0000 Marley 1346306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of the outfits which feature the lighter colored top - #s 2, 4, 5, and 7. &nbsp;I also love the length of your jeans in 2 and would like to see the jeans in 4 rolled. &nbsp;To me, the shorts in #1 look as though they can't make up their mind (but it might be the angle of the camera) with regards to the length. &nbsp;I'd like to see them either a little bit longer or a little bit shorter. &nbsp;I think you look great in the skirt outfist - and really like the lightness that showing some leg brings to those outfits! &nbsp;I want the top in #6 to be just a titch shorter in the front - it feels like the proportions would work better if the front hit you at your waist.<br />You had an outstanding summer of style - good job! &nbsp;AND - you look as though you had fun! &nbsp;Yeah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1345903 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 04:09:39 +0000 Alana in Canada 1345903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you abc.</p> <p>I think I have a few wears left of those white jeans, yet. I looked around today especially to see if anyone was still wearing white pants--and there were a few here and there. It was back to school for everyone today--grade school, high school, college and university. Lots of folks out and about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1345894 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 03:54:49 +0000 abc 1345894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #4, great jeans. </p> <p>Sorry summer is over </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-3-and-last-critiques-please#post-1345888 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 03:42:17 +0000 Alana in Canada 1345888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is over. Summer is definitely over.</p> <p>&nbsp;Alaskagirl--must be feeling it too. I think she is&nbsp;the only one further North than me on this continent.</p> <p>It is much too cool in the mornings to be without the legs and arms covered. Sandals, are, literally, yesterday's shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, in that spirit, I offer the last of my high summer outfits. Oh, it was so much fun while it lasted!&nbsp;</p> <p>Favourite outfits, room for improvement--all are welcome! You know I am here to learn. :)</p> <p>I've crunched my numbers and I'll do one last post with those, my outfits--top rated by y'all, some reflections and a poke at a shopping list for next summer.&nbsp; </p>
