Not everyone could wear that colour so beautifully. It's like it was made for you.<br /><br />Love your other outfits too - the Halogen jacket in the last outfit is just fab with your whites. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924935 Sat, 04 May 2013 16:25:54 +0000 Angie 924935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have missed your fun, happy, layered, adorned and&nbsp;preppy outfits, Jeanne! What a treat :)<br /><br />#1 is KILLER to the power of KILLER. We do not see that type of elegant, professional outfit in that colour on YLF very often. The BIG necklace makes the look. And the new shoes are perfect!&nbsp;<b>WOW!!</b>&nbsp;(Yes, duplicate in red and keep the length).&nbsp;<br /><br />And the rest of you outfits are great Spring looks that you wear with the best of them! Nice to see the floral jacket come out to play :)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924927 Sat, 04 May 2013 16:18:57 +0000 TraceyLiz65 924927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wonderful Spring looks, You nailed them all!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924822 Sat, 04 May 2013 13:37:18 +0000 Beth Ann 924822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous Spring looks, Jeanne!&nbsp; Yes, the gold is working so beautifully for you, and I like the length of the dress.&nbsp; For red, however, with its boldness, just at the bottom of the knee might be even better.<br /><br />I'm also admiring your elegant footwear and the amazing way you wear crops.&nbsp; You long lower legs and perfect fits make this a stellar look for you.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924809 Sat, 04 May 2013 13:08:57 +0000 Anonymous 924809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love all the iterations but I think my faves are 1 and 5 . I love your trench with the white edges though.

I agree that #5 needs beads but would like to see you wear the golden dress without adornment - your hair fills that role perfectly. I think you could play up the suit vibe with an up do but I know this is not something that is done in the twinkling of an eye.<br /> Congratulations on these outfits. You really look well turned out in all of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924776 Sat, 04 May 2013 10:39:20 +0000 Mona 924776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So nice to see you after a long time. #1 and 4 are my absolute favourites. I always enjoy seeing your outfits as you have a great style and a beautiful wardrobe. I just feel like stealing the dress in #1 https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924772 Sat, 04 May 2013 10:24:23 +0000 Jjsloane 924772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all for your kind words and confirmation of the dress I am in love with. It's not my normal style, but wearing it I felt really good. I've wanted a shirt dress, but have issues with fit and gap in most. This had none and I loved the drape and really took a chance on this color/print and am glad it works because I do like it a lot even if it's outside my preppy palette.&nbsp;&nbsp;Something about it made me feel like bicycling through Provence (a far cry from going to work and picking up the kids like I really did)<br /><br />Kelly I did return the floral bomber as I just couldn't make it work for me. I am glad to have the floral blazer, I need to experiment a bit more with it to up the cool and fun factor and downplay the mumsiness.&nbsp;<br /><br />Deborah thank you for missing me. I've been so busy I'm still taking photos, but haven't taken time to get them off the camera and post much. I pop in and read a lot, and try to post a little. I always check out your WIW because you have such fantastic style.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924762 Sat, 04 May 2013 08:24:27 +0000 Deborah 924762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I miss you posting more regularly Love the dress in #1 In fact having trouble seeing anything else it's so incredibly fab an outfit. </p> <p>All these are great combos. You are looking wonderfu. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924743 Sat, 04 May 2013 06:16:17 +0000 Kiwichik 924743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow relly couldn't get past the dress - the colour, style &amp; fit are perfect. The jacket looks good and all the accessories work - an 11 out of 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924681 Sat, 04 May 2013 03:08:25 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 924681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #1 is just stunning--you wear that retro dress like nobody's business! The colors are wonderful on you. I like the length. I bet you'd look fab in the shorter version, too, so it might be fun to have a different length for the red one. Or not--the midi is so great on you.<br />All of the looks here are terrific. You look like Spring personified in #5--I'm really drawn to that floral on you, especially paired with the yummy cream tones. <br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924672 Sat, 04 May 2013 02:55:33 +0000 Anonymous 924672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 5 are my favorites. I really like these colors on you. I hope you get the red version of #1 and like the long length on you.

I love the golden dress on you -- just gorgeous. I like it at this length, so can't really say which length for the duplicate. In a solid the effect might be a bit different and also red is brighter, so that would be a factor.&nbsp;<br /><br />You're at your prepster best in 2/3! And the floral blazer is a total wow!!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924552 Fri, 03 May 2013 23:33:21 +0000 Anonymous 924552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely in all of these. That golden colour of 1 looks especially nice with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924545 Fri, 03 May 2013 23:29:24 +0000 kellygirl 924545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jeanne, you look SO stylish in all of these. I love the golden color of 1. You positively glow in that--not a color that many of us can wear and boy, do you wear it well. LOVE the preppytastic outfit. That is something I would love to wear--I will have to enjoy the skinny ankle pants vicariously. The other two are fab blazer outfits. I'm so glad you kept the floral one. It's so fun and on trend. Did you end up returning the floral bomber? I haven't seen that one in action yet. (I ended up returning both of mine.)&nbsp;<br /><br />Great outfits. So happy to see your WIW's!<br /><br />ETA: Oops, I love the length of the dress. It makes your legs look SO long. I think if &nbsp;you are going to wear with a jacket, the extra length makes the proportions just perfect.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924540 Fri, 03 May 2013 23:25:20 +0000 Nicole D 924540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow! &nbsp; Love the striped sweater and floral blazer the best! &nbsp;As in I envy you those pieces! &nbsp;You can really rock a blazer. &nbsp;You just look fab. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-as-the-temps-rise#post-924537 Fri, 03 May 2013 23:21:25 +0000 Jjsloane 924537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Starting to warm up here, not in the morning yet though so layers are required.&nbsp;<br />1. Retro chic?&nbsp;&nbsp;Boden Dress, BB jacket. I love this 40's type dress. Added nude Ted Baker pumps (from NYC C21!!) Easy and breezy.

Gap jeans, J Crew linen blouse, Halogen blazer, needed some beads, Nixon watch, Kelsi Dagger shoes, Calvin belt, Nixon watch.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for looking and all suggestions are welcome.&nbsp;
