You always have interesting outfits without having to be too "out there." The attention is still drawn to you, rather than the clothes.. they aren't wearing you.&nbsp; Anyway, I'm babbling now. You look really good - I think that's mostly what I'm trying to convey :D.</p> <p>Also, you've convinced me to give my white dressy pants another go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-914-and-915-trying-to-stay-cool#post-1358315 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:58:37 +0000 crutcher 1358315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sending you the cool fall vibes from the Great Lakes...Love outfit 1..2 is nice also...Stay cool..wish I could get some of your heat... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-914-and-915-trying-to-stay-cool#post-1358161 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:33:26 +0000 JAileen 1358161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

You do look great and well prepared for the melting in #1 and I love, love, love #2. I'd like to copy it, except that I'd have to buy a bunch of new clothes and I've already spent too much this year.</p> <p>House look good. The dust and inconvenience will pass. I'm looking forward to seeing the final result. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-914-and-915-trying-to-stay-cool#post-1356207 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 02:35:57 +0000 LadyLilac 1356207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits look fantastic, especially no. 1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-914-and-915-trying-to-stay-cool#post-1356206 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 02:34:22 +0000 deb 1356206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two thumbs up!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-914-and-915-trying-to-stay-cool#post-1356196 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 02:25:07 +0000 MsMary 1356196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucy, not rude at all!&nbsp; I'm a shorty, too -- 5'2" on a good day!&nbsp; I think it's all in the fit and the proportions.&nbsp; These are pretty fitted in the hips and seat.</p> <p>Classically Casual, my challenge in the heat is that my exterior doors don't fit very well (gaps at the top of the door), and one whole wall in the den is torn out (waiting for the glass door) and just covered with plywood.&nbsp; Not to mention that the master bath is torn out to the studs including the floor -- you can look through the floor joists and see the dirt under the house!&nbsp; So there are plenty of places for the hot air to sneak into the house.&nbsp; I'm keeping the interior doors to those rooms closed but the a/c is still working overtime and not able to really do the whole job.&nbsp; It's about 81 in here at the moment, which I think isn't bad, all things considered. </p> <p>Angie, we posted at the same time, LOL!&nbsp; You honor me!&nbsp; ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-914-and-915-trying-to-stay-cool#post-1356193 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 02:23:43 +0000 Angie 1356193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look SO fresh and pretty in #2.

And can I ask a rude question? How tall are you? You really rock those wide legged pants. I've always avoided them as a shorty, but in the white they look wonderful, and I'm wondering if maybe the shortness is not such a problem!&nbsp;<br />Love the second outfit too.&nbsp;<br />As someone who has lived through a number of renovations in two houses, I can sympathise with the dust! It lingers.... But it is all worthwhile in the end :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-914-and-915-trying-to-stay-cool#post-1356178 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 02:08:30 +0000 MsMary 1356178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Karie!&nbsp; I was surprised and pleased at how well the dust vacuumed up.&nbsp; I was a little chagrined I hadn't thought of trying it sooner.&nbsp; And I am doing my very best to keep a good attitude about the whole thing.&nbsp; This house renovation has long been a dream of mine and I promised myself at the outset that I would enjoy it and take the mess and inconvenience with a grain of salt.&nbsp; So far I am doing a pretty good job of being thankful instead of complainy, I think.&nbsp; It will be done soon enough and then I will have my dream house! </p> <p>Anna, we were posting at the same time!&nbsp; I am definitely looking forward to my cooler-weather sojourn in Seattle in a couple of weeks!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-914-and-915-trying-to-stay-cool#post-1356174 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 02:06:00 +0000 annagybe 1356174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok given the insane heat, you look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-914-and-915-trying-to-stay-cool#post-1356173 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 02:03:58 +0000 Karie 1356173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is outstanding - crisp, fresh, and I love the white pants, that gorgeous top, and the blue clutch. I like how your shoes and the skirt in #2 go so nicely together.&nbsp;</p> <p>I know how you feel about all the construction dust. We did major renovations a few years ago, and the mess and dust, the dust, the mess - awful!</p> <p>And that temperature - WOW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-914-and-915-trying-to-stay-cool#post-1356160 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 01:39:15 +0000 MsMary 1356160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has been blisteringly hot the past few days.&nbsp; Today my car told me it was 112 at 4:30 p.m.!&nbsp; Yikes!&nbsp; So I am all about trying to beat the heat!</p> <p>1.&nbsp; Yesterday I went to a party at a friend's house and because she called and asked me to make an emergency run for ice, I didn't have time to shave my legs (I know -- TMI) so I opted for my white linen pants, which worked out nicely, I thought.</p> <p>White pants:&nbsp; Amazon<br />Print tee:&nbsp; Ted Baker<br />Silver sandals:&nbsp; Birkenstock<br />Cobalt clutch:&nbsp; Veronica M</p> <p>2.&nbsp; Today's work outfit looks business-as-usual but it's all lightweight and the skirt is cotton blend and the blouse is linen, so it was reasonably comfortable.&nbsp; And the jacket kept me from freezing in the a/c.</p> <p>Tan pencil skirt:&nbsp; Halogen<br />Navy linen blouse:&nbsp; consignment<br />Striped blazer:&nbsp; AT Loft<br />Ivory/navy/bronze pumps:&nbsp; Seychelles<br />"Python" satchel:&nbsp; Ellliott Lucca</p> <p>3.&nbsp; And in house news, I got very tired of the dust this weekend and vacuumed up as much as I could from the RAM board covering the wood floors.&nbsp; My poor vacuum cleaner will never be the same (note to self: buy a new one when this is over), but the grit factor is significantly lower.&nbsp; And here's the hallway to prove it!</p> <p>Thanks as always for looking and for your wise and honest feedback! </p>
