I&nbsp;don't know why, but I find it so reassuring when someone says I still look like "me".<br /><br />Deborah, you also made my day. Wouldn't that be fun to really meet in the grocery store?<br /><br />Angie, yay, thanks for the big compliment and glad you agree with the 2013ness.<br /><br />Anna, so glad to get your approval too, coming from your more avant garde perspective. &nbsp;<br /><br />Shedev, it has come up in threads a couple times as a question whether people like to have this information. Lots do, some don't care. It's really up to you whether you want to.<br /><br />Sarah, the glamourmom was extra super under a cardigan for our recent plane ride. Despite my grumbles :)<br /><br />Thanks, Lisa, I did want the scarf to go with these boots, actually. (As well as the python ones.)<br /><br />Shannon, Thistle, K, BethAnn, and Joy, you all made today for me. Thank you.<br /><br />Inge, I was tempted to try those track pants too, but can't go too fast. I figured I would try these cargos before the dressier options, and I am SO thrilled with them. I also love the shirt and hope to get it into a WIW before too much time goes by. It's the kind of thing where you can immediately think of many ways to wear it.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-updated-spring-look#post-902631 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 04:42:24 +0000 Anonymous 902631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are showing us that MOTG can be so modern and sleek. &nbsp;Well done. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-updated-spring-look#post-902577 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 03:14:45 +0000 Beth Ann 902577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wonderful way to be a chic MOTG!&nbsp; This is streamlined, but comfy and practical.&nbsp; Yeah!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-updated-spring-look#post-902492 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 01:02:54 +0000 K.

You look relaxed, chic, pulled together, and very much "you" even though it's a slightly more streamlined and minimalist expression than in the past. You are not just on your way -- you are already there!!&nbsp;<br /><br />I have noticed lately that I've been loving the info about where people got their stuff, too. I guess when one is in shopping mode it is especially helpful to know where things come from.&nbsp;<br /><br />You look wonderful!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-updated-spring-look#post-901318 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 13:19:39 +0000 Deborah 901318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Scarlet, I really like this. &nbsp;It's elegant and somehow practical. &nbsp;The simplicity makes it so attractive. &nbsp;If I had seen you grocery shopping I might just have had to tell you how fab you look. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-updated-spring-look#post-901306 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 12:39:59 +0000 Tanya 901306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Awesome outfit, so &nbsp;put together yet relaxed. &nbsp;I really like those pants. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-updated-spring-look#post-901304 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 12:37:59 +0000 Nicole D 901304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love that outfit. &nbsp;You look like an artist or a&nbsp;designer, just sort of creative and funky. &nbsp;Love it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-updated-spring-look#post-901274 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 10:30:40 +0000 Anonymous 901274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look great!

You look comfy and super stylish at the same time. Love the booties too!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-an-updated-spring-look#post-901236 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 07:30:42 +0000 Scarlet 901236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So, in keeping with my new style direction<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-new-me-a-sleeker-chicer-cheaper-style">&nbsp;"a chicer, sleeker, cheaper me"</a>, and also inspired by Angie's latest ensemble (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/03/28/ensemble-combat-pants-white-top-and-red-accents/">combat pants, white top and red accents</a>), here is my outfit yesterday. My shirt looks rumpled because I was wearing the baby carrier to take sweet pea grocery shopping. I could add a red clutch to really follow Angie's formula and increase the fab quotient.<br /><br />These are actually all recent additions to my wardrobe.&nbsp;I was looking for a&nbsp;gray scarf, but in typical Scarlet fashion I was actually unable to bring myself to buy a solid color and instead got this dotted infinity number, but I think it is perfect for what I wanted. I bought these combat pants (among other things)&nbsp;as <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-scarlet-slim-fitting-grey-pants">a suggestion from Inge</a>. The material is nice and thick and I was really happy with the fit.&nbsp;I could hem the trousers for less slouch, but I thought they look okay like this?&nbsp;The top is an oversized lightweight cotton sweater from the YLF store that is semi-tucked, but also works well as a tunic over leggings/leans. These are the new Petty booties. I could also have worn my python booties with this outfit but am still saving those for indoor use at the moment.<br /><br />My analysis: this outfit is 2013 due to the volume on volume (oversized top with slouchy trousers), which is also a little outside my comfort zone. This outfit fits my new direction because it is pretty simple, made of easily combinable pieces, but still fits my casual euro chic aesthetic. This outfit is very practical (washable and comfortable). I could pep it up more with accessories when I have the time (a belt, a red clutch, arm candy).<br /><br />I would love to hear your frank feedback, also if you think this is boring or unflattering.<br /><br />Also, I realized I like reading where other people get their clothes from, so I'll add here<br /><br />Oversized sweater - Leith via Nordie (YLF store)<br />Glamourmom underpinnings, hence the sportsbra look<br />Combat trousers from WE fashion<br />Sam Edelman Petty boots (smoky praline suede) (YLF store)
