This period of extra cool spring&nbsp;has been very eye opening to me (and maybe to others?). I want to wear heavier cotton sweaters, shoes with socks, and denim jacket type things as toppers every day. Some of the pieces feel more like late winter items and I don't feel like I have quite enough of them, although that's probably not true. Stores have moved on to true summer clothes already so I guess I'll have to wait until late summer/early fall to find a few more of these transitional pieces. I think the reality is that there are more weeks of this transitional climate thing than I had realized. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-8-17-cool-rainy-spring#post-1807057 Tue, 09 May 2017 18:48:45 +0000 Elizabeth P 1807057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic!&nbsp; This soft palette really works for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-8-17-cool-rainy-spring#post-1806940 Tue, 09 May 2017 14:32:51 +0000 RobinF 1806940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this, the scarf really ties it all together. Great colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-8-17-cool-rainy-spring#post-1806938 Tue, 09 May 2017 14:30:20 +0000 Anonymous 1806938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is just something so elegant about a soft neutral pallette - I love the mix of textures in the items you have chosen. </p> <p>I have those magic pants, too! I got the same gray and a pretty non-olive green. I'm really enjoying them with simple tees and button fronts. You are inspiring me to consider including them in some more ambitious outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-8-17-cool-rainy-spring#post-1806719 Tue, 09 May 2017 03:49:51 +0000 Anonymous 1806719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These mid and light neutrals look wonderful on you.

Nice textures, and looks like you've got some lighter fabrications in there which tends to help things feel springy (even if you have to wear more of them to keep warm!). Those pants should work nicely rolled with the other footwear you've included! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-5-8-17-cool-rainy-spring#post-1806544 Mon, 08 May 2017 22:34:51 +0000 Anonymous 1806544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely agree with Angie - perfect palette for you.

Massive fit fail, gave up at that point. Then I was in a LOFT store and decided to try the regular sizes, which fit very well! I initially got them in this grey and a mid-blue but decided to return the blue ones because somehow I don't really like blue pants although I love blue jeans. I'm wearing them unrolled today, they are just long enough to wear this way since they are a regular size and I'm very short.</p> <p>Boots and bag.</p> <p></p> <p>&nbsp;Looking forward to wearing the pants&nbsp;rolled with lighter tops and &nbsp;sneakers/sandals!&nbsp;I'm throwing in finds for sneakers and sandals in the same color scheme, to further imagine the warmer weather to come...</p>
