I loved that blouse when Angie first posted it. It's so nice to see it on you -- it's so fresh and springy. Looks beautiful with the contrast of the edgy jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646609 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 14:55:22 +0000 Elizabeth P 1646609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We've hardly had any spring yet, but I have already been reaching for my crops whenever I can.&nbsp; I like the idea of "focusing" on them for the season and turning them into a FFBO formula.&nbsp; </p> <p>I love how you've put this together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646588 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 13:58:00 +0000 Sara L. 1646588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!&nbsp; I've decided I need to up my shoe game this spring/summer.&nbsp; I need to stay away from "cute" shoes and try to add&nbsp;more trendy ones.&nbsp; I love the flats you're wearing here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646574 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 13:23:38 +0000 Windchime 1646574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific in your spring "formula"! I really like the detail at the bottom of your jeans.</p> <p>It finally warmed up here, too (from snow and freezing rain to 80°F over one week!) and I wore my new cropped flare jeans twice in three days. They are definitely going to get a lot of use this spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646552 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 12:30:14 +0000 Tanya 1646552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for your kind words, lades! I am glad to hear that this formula might help you as well - I find warm weather dressing hard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646540 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 12:12:09 +0000 harmonica 1646540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

I love the interest factor in all the lines here--vertical stripes, horizontal hems and crisscross laces. So pulled together and springlike. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646515 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 10:51:42 +0000 Summer 1646515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see this being an excellent outfit formula for you, Tanya, and this particular example looks lovely on you.<br />&nbsp; You make a very good point about wearing interesting, stand-alone tops that work without a topper&nbsp; -&nbsp; I'm making notes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646507 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 10:16:40 +0000 Sally 1646507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfit and I think it will be a successful look for spring. Its nice to have a formula for dressing isn't it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646442 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 04:32:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1646442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I definitely had to check out this post. "Spring outfit formula" is something I could use. You look great in this one! Those jeans are fantastic on you, Tanya--glad you went to the trouble to have them altered so they are just right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646405 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 01:37:14 +0000 Anonymous 1646405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your formula is very pretty on you and can include many different looks. You make a point that I need to remember. A top with enough interest that no topper is needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646383 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 00:44:31 +0000 marianna 1646383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! What a pretty blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646381 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 00:43:34 +0000 krishnidoux 1646381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic! Best warm weather easy free ensemble ever. That tunic is genius, it's exactly in the spirit of the raw cropped jeans. Very summer, very potent too, from the sheer freedom it exudes.<br />You make sense of the cropped jeans for me! Now I want a pair. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646377 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 00:38:48 +0000 Anonymous 1646377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh fun outfit! I love the colors in that top! Such a unique combination.<br /> Jeans and footwear are very trendy and fun too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646367 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 00:22:23 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1646367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, we are always on the same page. I was just on the hunt for blush pink shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646345 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 23:58:48 +0000 El Cee 1646345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely. Your warm weather FFBO is a winner.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646338 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 23:52:30 +0000 Muffin 1646338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That blouse is super cute and you look great! I definitely think I need more interesting tops, so many of mine are super plain and then I wonder why I feel blah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646331 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 23:44:49 +0000 Suz 1646331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute, Tanya, and thank you. I have just been thinking: What are my spring FFBO going to be. Now I have a clue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646330 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 23:41:42 +0000 Angie 1646330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer. (And many top picks). Flared crops are SO versatile, aren't they.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646328 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 23:36:22 +0000 Wendi1984 1646328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! I live in a hot climate, and I'm always looking for ways to have an interesting look without that third piece. I like what you put together! I've been wearing cropped jeans with graphic tees and colorful shoes a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-418-my-main-spring-outfit-formula#post-1646326 Mon, 18 Apr 2016 23:30:59 +0000 Tanya 1646326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We finally have sunny and warm weather here, so I couldn't wait to bring out real warm weather clothes!&nbsp; Both my Boden blouse and Genetic Denim cropped straight jeans are copycat items I saw on UmmLila first, so this outfit made me think of her whole day. The jeans had a little intervention at the tailor, I had the upper legs taken in, as they stretched out horribly after wear. Now they look much more streamlined. I finished the outfit with my JC Atsuko lace-up shoes, silver RM satchel, and my usual watch and sunglasses.</p> <p>This outfit is an example of the outfit formula I have decided to focus on for this spring/summer season:<br />1. Cropped jeans ( can be skinny, straight, or kick flare)<br />2. Trendy shoes that go well with cropped jeans<br />3. A breezy blouse/woven top in natural fibers with enough interest (color, pattern, design) that I do not need a third piece.</p> <p>For cooler weather, I would add a topper, of course.&nbsp; A more casual version of the formula would use a knitted top such as linen tee instead of a blouse, but then I would also add a third piece - belt, scarf or vest for more interest. </p>
