Both skirts look lovely on you, and the outfit in #5 is awesome. Thanks for reminding me how badly I want a brightly colored blazer but couldn't find one LOVE you in cobalt (you should like blue more!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395631 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:14:45 +0000 Lisa 395631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are too cute! These are all great but #5 is my favorite on you. LOVE the blue on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395607 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 16:49:27 +0000 lyn* 395607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Mo, I get myself $100 in cash and then it sits or I spend it ... because of all the sales at this time of the year, my cash jar is pretty empty by the end of the week. I think I have like $5 left. LOL. When the sales go away, I expect there to be more moneys in the cash jar.</p> <p>This means no clothes purchases on plastic; so I better track my "hobby" expenses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395559 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 15:59:08 +0000 Mo 395559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Add me to the blue blazer love club! I hear you on the animal print - it took me a long time to add it to my own closet and even now it's in small doses and not on classic pieces, but more funky. Are you on a $100 per week clothing budget right now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395537 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 15:26:29 +0000 Heather 395537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, this "stuffy old lady" really likes all of these outfits, but the cobalt blazer and floral skirt is a homerun (great suggestion, AJ!!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395535 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 15:24:43 +0000 Carole 395535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1, 3 and 4. You are an excellent shopper, by the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395479 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 14:06:51 +0000 Queen Mum 395479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok.. outfit #3 is too fabulous for words.

The width of this red belt seems like it suits this skirt better than the skinny one in 3.</p> <p>So glad you tried the color combo in 5! This outfit sings to me! Squee!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395351 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 04:14:18 +0000 lyn* 395351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MNsara - of course! I hate leopard print because I associate it with stuffy old ladies! But it's really silly, of course. I don't really like wearing any animal print, come to think of it ... I do adore a nice leather though, especially if it comes in terms of boots!</p> <p>Angie - and to think I don't like blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395291 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:30:43 +0000 MNsara 395291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits are just too fab for words!! I can't imagine any other person in your rotation (did I use a remotely correct term?) looking even half as stylish as you do! </p> <p>Love the floral skirt!! Love the cobalt blazer!! Love the polka dot dress!! Love the denim over the oufits!! Love the red belt touches!! </p> <p>Must go now to replenish my !! supply ;-)</p> <p>ETA: How can anybody hate leopard print? Is this a childhood scar? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395274 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 02:03:09 +0000 Angie 395274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get past outfit #5 to see the rest:</p> <p>KILLER to the power of KILLER</p> <p>Cobalt is your colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395245 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 01:23:22 +0000 rae 395245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oof! #5! It keeeeeels me! That blue blazer is so cute on you, and styling it with the floral skirt makes it look really cool (I always get scared of bright blazers, thinking I'll look like an 80s throwback, but this proves me super wrong). Also love your little bag in #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395242 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 01:16:34 +0000 sarah 395242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific! I just love #1, and you'd better hold on tight to that jacket in #3, or I just might come and snitch it away. I adore it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395223 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 00:37:59 +0000 Fruitful 395223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! 1 and 5 are my favourites - you look so effortlessly put together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395198 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 23:32:04 +0000 lyn* 395198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - thanks! I just buy more expensive things on sale. Expensive, of course, to me is anything over $50 :p There's many wonderful sales going on right now, so I'm taking advantage of them! 50% off final sticker price is definitely my favorite sale! Double (or triple) markdowns! Also; if you sign up for a store's newsletter (just use an email account you set up for this purpose) and often, as a "bonus" for signing up, you can get coupons - $15 off $40 or something like this; and it stretches my style dollar further! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395193 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 23:16:18 +0000 Suz 395193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! You are SO smart!!! In both senses of the word. How can you make these inexpensive clothes look so wonderful?!? But you do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395187 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 23:00:40 +0000 Jjsloane 395187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week - I especially like 1 and 4 also. Great inspirational combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395181 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 22:50:14 +0000 Anonymous 395181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had a great week! I especially like #1 and #4. You have so many great loooks from gamin to funky to lady-like to schoolgirl, boho, and more.... It's such fun to see your creations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395179 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 22:41:36 +0000 Rachel 395179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woh!! Everything looks absolutely fabulous on you Lyn. I really admire your style and how you own it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-this-weeks-100-was-spent-on#post-395174 Sun, 31 Jul 2011 22:37:38 +0000 lyn* 395174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was sneaky, I showed you guys the chain dress last night, but here's what the rest of my week's budget was spent on! (It was more like $120 because I was too busy during the week to eat lunch, so, extra moneys!)</p> <p>1) I'm sure you'll recognize old favorites here - I sewed straps onto the strapless dress (which was sliding down my front because of my lack of boobage) - $2 for the 1 meter of wide grossgrain ribbon. Also; $6 for the tear-drop leopard print earrings. I hate leopard print, but thought this was as good as it gets for my wardrobe at this point!</p> <p>2 &amp; 5) Floral skirt - $24 (marked down from $60); RW&amp;Co - fun and I loooove the pockets! It fits my waist perfectly, which never happens for me and skirts! I always have to tailor! It's now my favorite skirt store, because I'm a 00. </p> <p>3 &amp; 4) Brown A-line skirt - $24 (marked down from $60); RW&amp;Co - makes me feel like Kate; so I bought it. HAHAHA. Super fun and well constructed! It shouldn't fall apart the SECOND TIME I wear it (stupid Forever 21 skirts). I don't mind the falling apart as much as the stupid resident who tells me, "Hey, your underwear is showing." ... &gt;__&gt; I much love the way it goes woosh!</p> <p>Shout out to AJ - I tried the blush and blue blazer combo in #5. I love it! MUCH FAB!</p> <p>Extras:<br /> $7 for gel pads in both pairs of heels - much happier feets! (Buy one get one free!)</p> <p>How'd I do this week? Remainder of money spent for coffee with my sister and shampoo. I much needed shampoo!</p> <p>Much love,<br /> Lyn </p>
