We definitely have more scorching days here than we used to.</p> <p>I'm hesitant to say this, but I loved the gray. I thought you looked striking, But I know what you mean about not feeling like yourself. I'm still surprised when I see my gray hair in the mirror. Originally I did extensive lowlights that lasted for months, and I always felt more like me after the cut and lowlights. But I don't like sitting in the chair, and the idea of doing it every 3 weeks sounds like torture. I do keep mulling it over.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703674 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 17:26:15 +0000 lpr200 1703674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703672 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 17:24:41 +0000 Anonymous 1703672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>maneera, jaileen, roxanne - these "jeans" are so lightweight that they are no different than any other light cotton pant. &nbsp;They are a super thin denim with a lot of stretch - totally comfortable. I haven't had a regular pair of jeans on since May, and I totally agree that they are too hot for the dog days of summer.</p> <p>Roxanne - I wear the one golf/running skirt I have that still fits all the time - and I am SO sick of the sight of it too &nbsp;I have a grand total of ZERO coloured t-shirts or tanks in my wardrobe this year so the whole black skirt white tank thing is making me nuts. &nbsp;I never found a single t-shirt that I would wear &nbsp;in a colour at all this summer - odd eh? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703656 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 16:54:43 +0000 Maneera 1703656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this!!! I can't tell you how sick I am of seeing my own legs in shorts :/ But I really don't have an option ---- it's TOO hot for jeans. The only thing I can tolerate that covers more of my legs are cropped leggings....that's it! But I quite like the proportions here. And your hair looks fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703647 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 16:37:18 +0000 Roxanna 1703647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this - and the &nbsp;subdued blue really works with your colouring, as well as looking fresh, sophisticated and summer. And thise shoes - killer.</p> <p>I find that wearing jeans under linen sort of defeats the purpose for me as the jeans make me so hot - but I can't think of what else to wear with linen tunics, so I don't wear them. How do you find it?</p> <p>Also, I hear you on being sick of your summer look. You had talked int he spring about doing a golf skirt and top on hot days (which inspired me to buy one yesterday ) How is that working out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703645 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 16:36:02 +0000 K2 1703645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great look for you. Colours are good and the blonde looks good. I always get sun bleached blonde in the summer and it feels more like me too -if I go darker, I've always done so in the fall. Maybe something about the weather and colour palette makes darker feel off in the summer? (The dark did look good in you too, by the way)<br /> Not being thrilled with anything touching my skin in hot weather, I tend to wear skirt and loose dresses more and have accumulated a few. I also like them better on me than shorts at this point in my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703560 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 14:10:29 +0000 JAileen 1703560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very grownup, very nice. However (sorry) it does not look cool enough for me in that temp (mid 30s = 95F?). It's the jeans that look hot. It was 101F (38C) yesterday afternoon. I had a friend and her wiener dog over in the morning, did laundry, and went grocery shopping. I was only barely cool enough in a sleeveless top and lightweight cotton cropped pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703553 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 13:57:03 +0000 Anonymous 1703553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Vivian</b> - interestingly, this Bryn Walker line is quite moderately priced. &nbsp;The tunic was $140 I think - not bad, I agree. &nbsp;And I know exactly what you mean about the artsiness of linen tunics and then the slippery slope into crazy land. &nbsp;I think the jeans kept it from that. &nbsp;Note I didn't wear my glasses with the outfit either &nbsp;</p> <p>And thanks for the blonde support - is was such a HUGE sigh of relief to see the old me in the mirror again. &nbsp;<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703548 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 13:43:37 +0000 Mochi 1703548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Summer is just an odd season. I think it's a perfectly good summer look. Minimalist. I love the Freebirds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703545 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 13:36:22 +0000 Aquamarine 1703545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous...hair and outfit. </p> <p>The heat is getting me down, too. I'm so unmotivated to put on more than athletic shorts and a tank top at home, and they must be as loose as possible to avoid making me sweat any more than necessary. Blech. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703491 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 11:47:55 +0000 viva 1703491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look! It's very much like the dress-over-jeans I've been loving this summer except on the hottest days. Honestly, I feel about my thighs the way you feel about your arms. I like my thighs from a muscular/strength/overall look point of view, but the skin is kind of 50-ish nad no longer taut and I really don't want to show it unless I am sitting on the beach. Hating shorts, etc. So when it's not unbearably hot I've been wearing my crops with tunics/dresses.</p> <p>This tunic is KILLER. How is the pricing of this brand? It's very challenging around here to find interesting linen tunic/dress tops that aren't a million dollars. There is one brand that I absolutely covet (cannot think of the name), and one dress I want VERY BADLY for Mexico, and I may just run out and buy it, but it's summer only and it's going to set me back $200+. For a short linen nothing! Why is linen so expensive?????</p> <p>What I really love about this whole look is that it manages to dance right on the edge of artsy without falling completely into dangerous territory. I won't get into it too much because of the risk of offending others, but as a fellow 50+ woman with short hair, I know that layered artsy looks with jewelry can look crazy if done wrong. This is brilliant. And welcome back, blondie. You look beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703183 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 00:27:27 +0000 Sal 1703183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this look a lot, and it seems very authentic to you. &nbsp;I always think of you as well dressed but I guess none of us post those average lounge at home outfits.</p> <p>I love summer looks and find them much easier than winter ones, and feel more elegant and put together than in winter. &nbsp;Funny how we are different. &nbsp;</p> <p>I love your hair blonde again. &nbsp;Good call.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703164 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 00:12:24 +0000 Brooklyn 1703164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit. It is very elegant and the proportions look good. Elegant in summer heat is such a challenge. I tend to wear&nbsp;shorts and tees at home for most of&nbsp;summer and I get really, really&nbsp;sick of it. Honestly, it is almost a pleasure going to work in summer so that&nbsp;I can wear something more grown up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully/page/2#post-1703162 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 00:09:17 +0000 Anonymous 1703162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb: &nbsp;I read Lynn's &nbsp;blog and follow her (that's her name, correct?) &nbsp;on instagram too ! &nbsp;(AI).

I do love wearing linen - it's so breathable, and I care not at all that it wrinkles. It's supposed to wrinkle, that's part of the charm of the fabric.</p> <p>What a pretty color that tunic is, and it looks great on you.

Had I not had them as a client, I would never know they had the clothes they did. &nbsp; Finding these different items and lines is a lot of work and often a crapshoot. &nbsp;I find a lot of things on Facebook too - where I like and follow interesting retailers and brands on my business page. It seems that the &nbsp;more I did that, the more I discovered, too.</p> <p><b>texstyle</b> - I agree and get it! &nbsp;There is nothing wrong with my arms. They are fit and decently toned , but they belong to a 55 year old and at my age, the skin just isn't the same. I'm not ashamed or embarrassed by it, I'm just sick of seeing it. &nbsp;It's not as youthful a look anymore, and that was the lightbulb moment for me. &nbsp;And if it's not balls of fabric or lint, it's balls of antiperspirant appearing . &nbsp;lol. &nbsp;</p> <p>Anne - haha to IKEA mirrors! &nbsp;And to huge feet &nbsp;I'm 55, for the record. &nbsp;Thanks for the style compliment - I do appreciate it &nbsp;!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully#post-1702990 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:04:43 +0000 kerry 1702990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new linen tunic. You look great. I also love linen for summer but try to keep it to tops and maybe dresses. I don't love the look of linen pants on me but a blend I'll do (JCrew joggers from last year - high wear). I like cool but covered.</p> <p>Here's what I find frustrating about shopping in Canada. I looked up who sells Bryn Walker and found a store in Vineland (small town Ontario) that my mom shops at. This is not a store that I'd find too much to like so not one I'd frequent. But if I knew I'd find a gem like this I'd take a look. But how many times would I need to "pop in" before finding something like this? I don't have the patience. Why can't I find it online, in Canada, with free shipping and returns? Please?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully#post-1702982 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 20:55:18 +0000 Jules 1702982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the tunic - it has just enough shape, I think.<br /> And I'm sitting at the nail salon drying my new aqua pedicure Now I know it was a fab choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-725-elegant-in-the-heat---hopefully#post-1702952 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 19:49:02 +0000 Anonymous 1702952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like the serene palette too!

Fast forward a couple of decades and I worry about it myself!&nbsp; I do work out and try to stick to my weight and all, but still, we all change -- plus, it's not always that I don't want to show my arms but I don't like to be cold when I go into a store, or other AC place or on the other end of things - not to be gross - but wearing sleeveless can feel icky under the arms when you get really hot and often I've noticed the fabric from some tops will end up under your arms in little balls which is not an attractive look at all should you have to wave at someone. :-)</p> <p>ETA: sorry for that long run on sentence&nbsp; </p>
