Period. 1237115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As I scrolled down, I dropped my arrow and wound up on Angie's comment.  It was exactly what I was thinking: LOVE the blue outfit.  Simple, but so nice.  BTW, my boob-gap-stop is to sew little tiny clear snaps in. More permanent than fashion tape, but not too noticeable.  I need to do it on my shirt that I'm wearing today, so we're both in good company!   I was super happy to see your nude shoes too.  :)  Glad you decided to buy them.  They look funky and comfy.  leopardluxe on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1236503 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 12:56:35 +0000 leopardluxe 1236503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love both outfits! As always you are the epitome of cool and stylish. The bookending of the boots and the pendleton are great in your second outfit. Bummer about the tie dye jacket. I feel your pain. As a rather petite IT with a broader back and fuller chest than is usual for my size, I often have to choose between having jackets that are somewhat snug in the back in order for them to look like they fit everywhere else, or having enough room in the back and having the jacket look too large on me everywhere else.  lyn67 on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1236440 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 12:03:47 +0000 lyn67 1236440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, look at Anna's "nothing specials", my head is spinning today on the YLF!:-) Jeanie on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1236292 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 04:21:50 +0000 Jeanie 1236292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Too bad the jacket didn't work because the colors are so good on you.  Love those tan boots and the colors in the 2nd outfit are gorgeous on you too! jackiec on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1236017 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 23:29:19 +0000 jackiec 1236017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Too bad! The colour really suits your colouring. Good for you for being picky about fit. Your second outfit is fab too. fuzzylogic on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1235903 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 20:28:28 +0000 fuzzylogic 1235903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry it didn't work for you, annagybe!

And the acid wash jacket is cool but I hate it when jackets are tight in the back, so good call on returning it. I really like the outfit you switched to! Angie on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1235610 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 14:29:57 +0000 Angie 1235610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just had a thought, Anna. Your light blue ACNE booties will look smashing with the second outfit too. xo Astrid on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1235447 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 08:39:40 +0000 Astrid 1235447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Too bad the jacket didn't fit, but tightness around the shoulders isn't fun so it's good you returned it. Love the shoes in the first outfit! The second outfit looks awesome too, the shirt is great paired with the boots.

I love the way the boots pattern mix with the Pendleton.

Beth Ann on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1235351 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 03:50:45 +0000 Beth Ann 1235351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love you in these colors, particularly for spring.  They're light, but not sweet.  Sorry about the jacket, but what a terrific outfit on the fashion "rebound."

It looks lovely on you! I love the white and nude styling to let the jacket shine. Are you trying a size up? Your final outfit looks gorgeous too. Love the bookending with the boots. catgirl on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1235330 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 03:12:30 +0000 catgirl 1235330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your eye makeup whatever you've done.

The second outfit looks fantastic, I love the boots with that shirt, and the white jeans make the outfit look perfect for a spring day. Aida on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1235298 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 02:17:08 +0000 Aida 1235298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh wow both of these are gorgeous Anna. Too bad about the jacket. LOVE the second outfit, the patchwork echoing the plaid is super fun. And of course those nude Tuttles are TDF. Jaime on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1235291 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 02:04:52 +0000 Jaime 1235291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Too bad about the jacket but I beg to differ regarding your second outfit being nothing special. The white jeans are fantastic on you. LAR101 on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1235260 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 00:46:34 +0000 LAR101 1235260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Killer.  Both killer.  I always love the way you combine bold colors but I am blown away with the simple success of how you styled these subdued outfits. I hope you take my wanting to copy your styling as a compliment - especially that first outfit.   Both killer.  You seem to take such care with your styling that I think you might prefer to nail the fit and look for a a sewing or alteration fix to where the Pendleton shirt pulls across the bustline.  Or ... I don't know if you would consider this since it would change the look,  but if you unbuttoned the next top button of the Pendleton plaid wool shirt  and wore an underlayer  you could still get perfect fit without adjustments.  A scarf could disguise the chest if you wanted a less womanly look.  Really smooth and killer outfits. Angie on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1235257 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 00:45:49 +0000 Angie 1235257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's too bad about the jacket. I LOVE that outfit. It has a soft pretty touch, especially with the column of white. Killer look. I love the blue and white outfit too. Another killer look, and one of my Anna favourites. Pretty palette and I LOVE the white jeans. The shirt is gaping on the bust though, Anna - and it's worse when you sit down. Needs a little fashion tape.  kellygirl on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1235237 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 00:09:22 +0000 kellygirl 1235237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your nothing special still looks pretty fab, Anna. You have such a knack for looking stylish and posh (for lack if a better word.) I'm sad about your tie dye jacket didn't work out . It's so cool! Live the backdrop in 1 and the new shoes are divine! annagybe on "WIW 4/27 A return and basics" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-a-return-and-basics#post-1235236 Mon, 28 Apr 2014 00:03:39 +0000 annagybe 1235236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well I finally got that tie-dye/acid wash 3.1 Phillip Lim jacket. Except that in the process of driving to store and choosing a random photo site, I realized it's not going to work. It was too tight in shoulders and upper back, very noticeable when I was driving. I'm so far away from IT, I'm not sure who it would work for. So I packed it up and returned it this afternoon, along with a MSGM flame sweatshirt that rode up, the Rag & Bone Miramar pajama jeans and the Ash zebra slip on sneakers. Ended up wearing my wool blue plaid Pendleton shirt, white jeans and Laurence Dacade denim patchwork boots. Nothing special, but it works I think.
