And double thanks for noticing my hard work! My husband has been wondering why I spend so much time in the closet lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-7-7-to-7-9-with-ylf-store-item#post-182628 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:34:56 +0000 Rosie 182628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I looked at these pics over the weekend but was unable to comment on them. I thought immediately, wow! Your style has completely skyrocketed!! </p> <p>I love the outfits. You look terrific. Thinking back, as much as I love argyle, these outfits do make you look much slimmer than the short sweater and jeans with sneakers. </p> <p>Anyway, lovely!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-7-7-to-7-9-with-ylf-store-item#post-182554 Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:51:38 +0000 Lisa 182554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks St4rrgrrl and Louise!</p> <p>Sveta-I tried the green top the next size down, and it fit the same, except it was shorter in the length. It doesn't strike me to be a form fitting top. I've been wondering about the fit in the white jacket. If I unroll the sleeves, it's past my knuckles. I have been trying to decide if that's the jacket's style or if the size was too big for me. (although it is the XS so...?) I recently purchased another white jacket in a different style and brand that I plan to post an outfit of soon. Let me know if you think that dot top works better with the newer jacket when I post? Thanks!</p> <p>Megan-Thanks for the website. I will keep them in mind for sales on premium denim. Everything was full price for the Joe's right now.</p> <p>Sihaya-Thanks, I'm still learning how "scrunched" skinnies should look with flats. I am hoping some fellow YLFers will post photos soon for examples I can look at. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-7-7-to-7-9-with-ylf-store-item#post-182186 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 14:13:29 +0000 Sihaya 182186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa - love the tops on you. I personally like my skinnies a little bit scrunched at the bottom w/flats but yours works too. Really also llike your shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-7-7-to-7-9-with-ylf-store-item#post-182159 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 13:18:49 +0000 Megan 182159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite single piece is the watercolour top too but complete outfit is number 1. </p> <p>I like this website for jeans- <a href="http://www.revolveclothing.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.revolveclothing.com</a> -they have GREAT sales too :)</p> <p>I always order mine from there and pay under $100 a pair for premium demin- and I find such a difference between my premium denim jeans and cheaper jeans in terms of how much they bag and stretch. I have a pair of Paige Premium jeans that I bought in 2006 that still look fantastic despite very regular wear since I bought them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-7-7-to-7-9-with-ylf-store-item#post-182158 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 13:15:48 +0000 Sveta 182158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa on the alterations roll! How great is this? Great job on the skirt - it looks FAB after.</p> <p>I like your ruffled tops on you. Watercolor one is gorgeous and polka dot is great too. Out of the 3 I like the green the least but I cannot say why. Maybe because I am still adjusting to the skinny look?:-) Also it looks looser on the sides but as fitted style...I do not know if I am making sense here - kind of it should be fitted but too big.<br /> I am also on the fence with the white jacket in the first outfit as well and again do not know why. I know it is not much help, sorry Maybe adding another white item will help? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-7-7-to-7-9-with-ylf-store-item#post-182148 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 12:51:21 +0000 Louise 182148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The skirt looks great now it has been altered. Love the ruffly tops especially the watercolour one, devine x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-7-7-to-7-9-with-ylf-store-item#post-182076 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 05:26:07 +0000 florida 182076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the watercolor ruffle shirt with the denim skirt--and those shoes!!!! What a gorgeous outfit, Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-7-7-to-7-9-with-ylf-store-item#post-182045 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 03:09:01 +0000 Lisa 182045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everybody for looking!</p> <p>Carole-I have ZERO sewing skills of any kind. I've tried a couple of tailors in my area and found one I am in LOVE with. The waist work was all them. Thanks for the accessories idea!</p> <p>Angie-Thanks for taking some time during this busy weekend to provide feedback. I have learned SO much from YLF already and it is making a huge difference. I think I am starting to learn about dressing a pear shape a bit better. </p> <p>Scarlet-Losing weight? You just made my DAY, thank you! Unfortunately I've put on some pounds, not lost. Too much family stress interfering with my exercise routine. I think it's been all fit of the clothes that's made the difference. I can't wait to see how clothes look once I'm back at my "regular" weight. :)</p> <p>Joy-Yes I recommend Express. I haven't been in their stores in years. But the past few weeks, I've found some real gems in their stores.</p> <p>Taylor, Stringy, and Morethanbeige-Thanks!</p> <p>Reneeb-Yes I love the Gap always skinny jeans. I've had them for almost a year now and they have been worn and washed QUITE a few times. The material still looks good and they are very, very comfortable. They do bag a little with wear.<br /> But not nearly to the extent that my Express jeans do. The Express jeans get pretty loose by the end of the day, almost so much as to be embarrassing. But they are also quite old and they ARE worn out by now. Needless to say, new jeans are on my fall shopping list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-7-7-to-7-9-with-ylf-store-item#post-182033 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 02:30:44 +0000 morethanbeige 182033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving those ruffle tops.

I love those ruffled tops on you and love everything about the watercolor top. It looks so fab with your denim skirt.

Are you losing weight like crazy or is it just your dressing style? In any case looking good.</p> <p>P.S. I think the skinnies could be longer but it's not a deal-breaker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-7-7-to-7-9-with-ylf-store-item#post-181965 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 20:04:50 +0000 Angie 181965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Lisa - you look FAB. I just love you in those ruffle-y sleeveless tops. You see! Good structured shoulder and you rock the look. </p> <p>I have to run off to attend to my guests but I really wanted to chime in to say that I can see your style groove coming together very nicely. Proud of you :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-7-7-to-7-9-with-ylf-store-item#post-181922 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 16:21:33 +0000 Carole 181922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfits!<br /> #1 those are a great pair of jeans, they look like premium denim, love the top!

I have no willpower and although NAS is right around the corner, two of these tops are recent Express purchases I was unable to resist. </p> <p>#1-Black, White, Blue and Dots<br /> <a href="http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy264/lduncanz/WIW%207-7%20to%207-9/IMG_3661.jpg">Front View</a></p> <p><a href="http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy264/lduncanz/WIW%207-7%20to%207-9/IMG_3662.jpg">Because it's cold at work</a></p> <p><a href="http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy264/lduncanz/WIW%207-7%20to%207-9/IMG_3663.jpg">Do ruffles work with this jacket?</a></p> <p><a href="http://i798.photobucket.com/albums/yy264/lduncanz/WIW%207-7%20to%207-9/IMG_3664.jpg">Close up of the print</a></p> <p>Top-Express<br /> Jacket-Lucky Brand<br /> Jeans-Levis Slimming Bootcut<br /> Shoes-Cole Haan</p> <p>#2-YLF Store Ruffled Top<br /> I never would have noticed this top if Angie had not placed it in the YLF store.
