None of my current tees lend themselves to tucking. I think I need something more tailored and substantial. I have no problem doing a full tuck when I wear these pants with silk tops, but with this tee it felt off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820141 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 12:04:27 +0000 skylurker 1820141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is super cute. You can't go wrong with a breton top - do I sound like a broken record ;)<br /> I also love #5. You have to accept tucking with this kind of pants - I know, it feels so weird after so many years of un/half/faux-tucking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820139 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 11:53:02 +0000 LaPed 1820139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling -- I had a feeling you'd like the olive/navy combo! I feel very myself in that one.</p> <p>Runcarla -- no, I never got around to doing an official hair post. I cut it in April, but had a couple very busy months this spring. I just recently trimmed the back and around the ears, but am letting the front grow a bit longer for now. Very happy to be back in a pixie after a couple years of wearing it long(er).&nbsp;</p> <p>Column, Dianna, bridgie and lozz-oz -- I am glad and not surprised there is so much love for #1 -- and all three of those pieces are coming with me this weekend for a very casual trip to visit family. It's funny, I have such trouble finding shorts that I like and that fit well, that this hand-me-down pair from DH is sort of a superhero. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820112 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 09:12:14 +0000 Anonymous 1820112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi. &nbsp;I really love number 1 as well because it looks so fresh. &nbsp;But number 3 is my favorite of the grouping. &nbsp;I'm coming to realize that certain silhouettes, colors, or components draw my eye. &nbsp;When I see that one thing, I am just taken with it. &nbsp;Those chino pants drew my eye and I immediately decided "favorite!!" &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820106 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 08:47:04 +0000 lozz_oz 1820106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like I'm another one to vote for #1! very cute with the red espadrilles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820079 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 04:14:27 +0000 bridgie 1820079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite.&nbsp; French chic for sure.&nbsp; And for fun I like 3 and 4.&nbsp; Like the combo of navy and olive, and of course, I adore the cat in No4.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820077 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 03:37:23 +0000 Carla 1820077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is...#1! I didn't put a stripe T in my capsule, and I'm starting to get twitchy. I must say that i really love your hair. Did I miss a hair post? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820044 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 01:14:06 +0000 Column 1820044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute! Love #1's French chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820042 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 01:10:40 +0000 Dianna 1820042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice week of outfits. My favorite is also number one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820038 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 00:59:58 +0000 LaPed 1820038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily -- I'm glad you like the silk pants! It's a silhouette I'm always very hesitant about on myself, but love on others. These are from Grana, and pretty affordable, sort of faux-EF: &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.grana.com/silk-ankle-pants.html">https://www.grana.com/silk-ankle-pants.html</a></p> <p>The chinos are Taylor Stitch, they have a few pairs left in their final-sale section. I *really* hope they re-issue these, because I'd buy another pair or three:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.taylorstitch.com/products/the-cavallo-pant-in-olive-twill">https://www.taylorstitch.com/p.....live-twill</a></p> <p>Joy -- the espadrilles are from Diego's, which is pretty much always running a sale. Very basic, but very comfortable:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://diegos.com/">https://diegos.com/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820016 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 00:04:38 +0000 Emily K 1820016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your chinos and the slouchy silk pants! &nbsp;And I second your thoughts on the tee in the final picture. &nbsp;A more cropped and structured tee sounds interesting to me, so I'm off to check out the Tradlands link... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820011 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 23:47:35 +0000 LaPed 1820011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy -- I'm thinking I might splurge on a Tradlands tee since this is apparently a significant wardrobe hole for me (their woven shirts look great as well): <a rel="nofollow" href="https://tradlands.com/products/the-catt-chalk">https://tradlands.com/products/the-catt-chalk</a></p> <p>The other avenue I'll probably explore is woven linen and cotton poplin tees -- for breathability, longevity, and structure.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a feeling that Everlane tee in the photo will be demoted to loungewear by the end of the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820007 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 23:37:21 +0000 Anonymous 1820007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great casual outfits. My favorite is 1. You could wear those red shoes with most of your outfits. If you find a structured tee, let us know about it. I am having the same troubles with tees. I think that thicker fabric would help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-30x30-week-2-4#post-1820001 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 23:24:38 +0000 LaPed 1820001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been trying to find the time to write this post all day! We're leaving tomorrow to visit family and won't be back til mid next week. I don't anticipate taking any WIWs while I'm away, but I'll be operating with a very small capsule, all out of my 30x30 -- except for a hiking/running outfit and my swimsuit. I still haven't packed, so haven't settled on which pieces I'm bringing. Still have to check the weather, but it looks like it will be cool and stormy, as it has been here all week.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, here are five outfits from this week:</p> <p>Monday -- Probably my favourite of the bunch, and the most casual (go figure). I'm getting a Picasso vibe out of this one, no? Really, this $10 Uniqlo breton is such a workhorse -- perfect shape, length, colour. Shorts are cut-off Levis -- the jeans belonged to DH when he was much younger. I also wore my sunhat, but forgot it for the photo.&nbsp;</p> <p>Tuesday -- I don't think this outfit photographs well at all, but I got a compliment from DH when he got home, so maybe IRL I don't look like a big black blob. It was cold today, and I was at home all day -- I literally didn't put on shoes, except for running shoes in the morning and evening.</p> <p>Wednesday -- straightforward outfit for toddler music class and grocery shopping. I *love* these chinos, and I'm glad we're getting some days cool enough to wear them.</p> <p>Thursday -- Spent the whole morning at the auto mechanic -- took twice as long as expected since they were understaffed (for a memorial service, so I can't really complain). Cold rainy day, same pants as yesterday.</p> <p>Friday -- I'm not super satisfied with this one, but really felt like wearing my slouchy silk pants! I think the white tee is the weak link. I need a white tee that is more cropped and more structured, but haven't found it yet. (I have this one knotted in the backbecause it looked too sloppy with a semi-tuck, but I dislike doing that with t-shirts; feel like it wears them out more quickly.) Was too humid for the jacket, even though it's linen, by the afternoon. </p>
