You look seriously good in all iterations, with a special shout out for 4 and 6. Suz is spot on with her summation of how it appears your style has subtly changed a tad, and it suits you well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489439 Sat, 09 May 2015 14:54:14 +0000 donnat 1489439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow what a beautiful capsule. I love those BR windowpanes on you, either way. The dress in 6 is killer with the shoes. All are fabulous. You really knocked it out of the park. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489434 Sat, 09 May 2015 14:41:17 +0000 Elizabeth P 1489434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, thank you so much!&nbsp; Looks like the pink dress was a good whim purchase!</p> <p>Suz... very interesting observation.&nbsp; I was thinking this exact thing a few days ago, but couldn't articulate it as well as you did... guess it's obvious who's the writer huh :).&nbsp; I always struggled a bit with the fact I like a bit of hard edge, yet am also drawn to some drape and comfort.&nbsp; I can't tell you how happy I am that you picked up on this and let me know (without being asked) that I seem to be melding the two together in a way that works.&nbsp; The only problem is that it's happening organically, without much thought or effort... so I could go completely off the rails if I'm not careful!&nbsp; Love the term "style schizoid". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489411 Sat, 09 May 2015 13:18:35 +0000 Suz 1489411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what you just said there in the comment -- that you are not rushing any more to change out of your work clothes -- that is HUGE! What a testament to your skills and your amazing style. This is a fantastic week of outfits. #4 is just killer stunning on you, but I have a huge soft spot for #2 also. White just makes you shine now that more of your hair is silver. I am also in love with your Milly tote.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your style seems to have evolved from a bit hard edged to fresher and perhaps more feminine of late. Is that a seasonal thing, do you think? (I do think it's a general change over time I've seen, too, though -- or, more accurately, you seem to have learned how to blend elements of hard edge with a more feminine look without seeming style schizoid -- it all works together vs. one outfit in this style and one in the other, if you know what I mean.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, you have honed your palette so very well. It makes everything work cohesively.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489401 Sat, 09 May 2015 12:37:38 +0000 frannieb 1489401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfits. I really love the EF dress with the colored shoes and the white pants with silver boots and bag. &nbsp;Really all the outfits are crazy aweseome </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489393 Sat, 09 May 2015 12:28:01 +0000 dakotacheryl 1489393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You looked fabulous all week!! &nbsp;Loved them all, but seriously loved #$ and #8 !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489257 Sat, 09 May 2015 02:32:03 +0000 Carla 1489257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great spring capsule! I love how you stay true to a colour palette, while kicking the style quotient up a #4 really is the best, but the framboise dress with 'those shoes' in 6 and 7 just slay me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489253 Sat, 09 May 2015 02:28:41 +0000 catgirl 1489253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at you!&nbsp; I'm coming over to steal the silver tote and citron bag.&nbsp; You have got it going on.&nbsp; 4/5 is my favorite - but love the pink dress too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489239 Sat, 09 May 2015 01:43:02 +0000 Beth Ann 1489239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific!&nbsp; Love the way you're playing with bright bags and modern shapes in your dresses!&nbsp; My favorite is also #4 --- so very flattering on you, and marvelous pattern! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489223 Sat, 09 May 2015 01:10:50 +0000 Elizabeth P 1489223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thank you Angie!&nbsp; Made my day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489219 Sat, 09 May 2015 01:09:26 +0000 Elizabeth P 1489219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much ladies!&nbsp; It's taken a while, - and a bunch of... well, not so much mistakes, but rather "safe" choices - but I feel like I'm finally starting to get things that are both "me" and comfortable at the same time.&nbsp; Ridiculous as that may sound, but I always used to change the second I came home because I couldn't wait to get out of my work clothes.&nbsp; Not because I didn't like them, but because 10 hours in them was enough.&nbsp; Now I'm starting to notice that I will keep things on until there's a real reason to change - ie I'm doing something else.&nbsp; Lightbulb!&nbsp; It CAN be done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489216 Sat, 09 May 2015 01:06:58 +0000 Angie 1489216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. My favourite set of outfits you've posted to date. Very nicely done. FABULOUS.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4 is killer. Those shoes paired with the windowpane pants launches me into orbit. I think I want those shoes too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489191 Sat, 09 May 2015 00:05:47 +0000 Anonymous 1489191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you ever have a great collection of pieces, Elizabeth! &nbsp;Wonderful spring wardrobe. My favourite is the BR windowpane pants look - and I don't mind the pants rolled up a tad either - think it showcases the shoes and looks really good! &nbsp;I am SO envious you can wear those Petty's - they have so many cool patterns and colours out now, and I just CANNOT get them to fit. &nbsp;A guess a blessing in disguise and saving me $$ &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489187 Fri, 08 May 2015 23:58:02 +0000 Anonymous 1489187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 4 and 6. That pink is so beautiful on you and I love how you've styled it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489178 Fri, 08 May 2015 23:36:53 +0000 MTBGirl 1489178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous Elizabeth! My favorite is #4. I like those pants shorter with the ankle strap. And I agree with you on the last outfit. I'd like to see the pants longer. But I am no expert-still learning. : ) Happy Spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489176 Fri, 08 May 2015 23:35:36 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1489176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good. yay for better weather! I didn't realize you were in NS - somehow I thought you were in British Columbia... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489167 Fri, 08 May 2015 23:27:05 +0000 kellygirl 1489167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No wonder your happiness factor is so high. You look amazing in all of these! In fact, I can't pick a fave. Gorgeous spring outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-week-of-spring-refreshers#post-1489143 Fri, 08 May 2015 22:53:49 +0000 Elizabeth P 1489143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goodness, it seems like ages since I posted a WIW!</p> <p>Well, this week, spring came to Nova Scotia. Seriously.&nbsp; It was the first week of temps in the double digits, no rain, and the snow has FINALLY (pretty much) all melted.&nbsp; It's gone in our yard, anyway.&nbsp; Time to bring out the bare legs!&nbsp; And along with that, a bunch of new stuff I've been picking up over the last couple of months.</p> <p>1-2:&nbsp; Inspired by Angie (LOL, like who isn't?) BR denim shirtdress and Monro Kimi's.&nbsp; Wore my Danier leather jacket and citron Kate Spade bag for outdoors, pared down simplicity for a no-meeting day at the office. <br />3.&nbsp; Culottes and new cobalt Zara tee/sweater.&nbsp; Oh, and new Steve Madden peep toe booties.<br />4.&nbsp; Zara top (waving at Shevia!) and black/ivory Okala's.&nbsp; Paired with an EF cardigan and BR windowpane Sloans.&nbsp; Question here... which pant length do you prefer?&nbsp; I wore them longer, so they were skimming the ankle strap, but have always worn them slightly shorter with pumps.<br />5.&nbsp; New EF dress, and grabbed this navy BR wrap for cover - was in a conference, and you never know how warm the rooms will be.&nbsp; And see... coloured shoes! :)<br />6.&nbsp; New Gap jean jacket, and SE Petty's in silver.&nbsp; Missed these in teh fall so pounced when I saw them again in the spring.&nbsp; Oh, and new Milly bag that I got before Christmas but was saving for a warmer season (waving at Janet!)&nbsp; I caught a glimpse of myself in a storefront mirror at lunch, and was wondering if maybe the pants are rolled too high for booties?&nbsp; This is just two rolls, so hard to do less, but still.</p> <p>Happiness factor - high... for the whole week! Whoot whoot!&nbsp; But of course that does't mean I won't take and appreciate any tweaks or suggestions you might have for improvements or how to change things up for another time. </p>
