This is a perfect summer work outfit. Glad you saved it so that I could see it immediately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-995709 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 22:57:51 +0000 rachylou 995709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very natty, hedgie.

I am sporting my new white bag today and so far no mishaps!<br /> caro, I might just try the scotchguard thing. I've got some sort of a spray I've used to make coats and boots water resistant so I am wondering if it would work for that. I'll need to read the fine print.</p> <p>jayne, I have several brands of wedges.....they seem to call out to me when I'm shopping. The orange and navy ones are Nine West "Powersurge." The leather is very soft and they are extremely comfortable. The white ones are Kelly &amp; Katie "Bliss." They are a bit of a lower heel and more casual.<br /> Because I'm only 5'2", I like a bit of height to my shoe and I find that wedges are very comfortable, easy to dress up or down and give me the height without bunions and squinched toes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-995519 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:26:48 +0000 TraceyLiz65 995519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love wedges myself for their comfort level and have quite a collection of slingback wedges for summer...&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the sweater and hope you stay cool with those temps!!! We had those for a few weeks and it is a huge relief to be back to our more normal mid 80's.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-995398 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 17:07:26 +0000 Carole 995398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit! I especially love your Ikat cardigan and can see why that would become a fast favorite. Love the new bag and it looks like you scored on shoes, as well! Seems like you have the perfect colors for creating a great wardrobe capsule and that just makes really good sense to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-995202 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 14:09:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 995202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfit HH - the sweater is lovely with those light neutral tones.

The ikat cardi is very unique and right up my alley - looks good with the white underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-994719 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:53:09 +0000 Anonymous 994719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all. I like that the beautiful hobo bag has some structure to it. The wedges all look comfortable and work appropriate. The Ikat cardi adds interest and is a lovely pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-994704 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:41:20 +0000 abc 994704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF! &nbsp;LOVE LOVE LOVE that bag, and the lineup of wedges is divine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-994691 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:30:30 +0000 MsMaven 994691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very classy travel outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-994682 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:22:32 +0000 Caro in Oz 994682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could Scotchgard the bag before using it (test first though because it can can the colour).</p> <p>Great outfit - the patterned cardi looks like a great buy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-994679 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:20:15 +0000 lyn* 994679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, YLF! I love the cardigan's detailed prints, and I can see the universal appeal of it on both sides of the pond!</p> <p>I am in love with tassels on bags and I think your CK bag will serve you well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-994671 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:09:06 +0000 Anonymous 994671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the print on that sweater! I can see why you love it and I'll bet it looks incredible with blue jeans as well. Plus I just love blue and white so there it is. Fab bag! I don't suppose you do anything to treat it, just wear it and enjoy. There is white leather dye if you need to refinish it in a couple of years. And your shoes look great for the A/C. I'd have to kick them off in the car, but perfect for the bank!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-994658 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:57:49 +0000 Suz 994658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you gravitate towards those colours because they look superb on you and they feel very fresh and alive in the heat. You look wonderful in your WIW. Love the pattern on the cardigan. The new bag looks terrific, too. Also, that shoe shape is flattering and comfortable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-994657 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:57:11 +0000 Anonymous 994657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a gorgeous cardi! I really like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-new-purchases-1#post-994652 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:54:05 +0000 hedgiehog 994652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last Friday I took a photo, or rather had my co worker take it, with the intention of posting here immediately. <br />Well, work took over, the weekend rushed by in a flash and despite my best intentions....here it is several days late. :)<br />The skirt is a light khaki from Talbots, the white tank from Kohls and the ikat print cardigan from Loft. I actually took it to England for my recent trip and wore it a few times. I like it so much because it's very light, not like a regular cardigan, and because I find the print so fun.</p> <p>The other photos are of my recent purchases. Although the shops are already focusing on autumn, I thought that since I live in such a hot climate, I could get away with summer garments/shoes a bit longer. The heat index today was 104!<br />When I was in my closet taking these photos, I realise I have a bit of a thing for wedges. It's also funny that they are red(orange), white and blue, or rather navy. I seem to gravitate toward these colours quite frequently, it seems. The bag is a lovely off-white Calvin Klein hobo that was on sale at Macy's. I didn't have a light summer bag so when I saw this it had to come home with me. Now how do I keep it clean.....</p>
