You, my dear are quite amazing, beautful, successful and fashionable and I hope having us tell you that will remind you! This is the cutest outfit and I hope it cheered you up. I hope your body recovers and you start to feel better real soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-573234 Wed, 21 Mar 2012 01:02:20 +0000 citygirldc 573234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey lady. Don't even get me started on the race photos. I understand what you mean though about those darn photos and thighs. </p> <p>The good thing is that don't wear those exercise outfits as fashion statements anyway. All other times, we're dressed up and hiding our flaws so that's a good thing, right? You look good in that outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-573140 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 23:11:27 +0000 rachylou 573140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, the hat is good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-573109 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:29:25 +0000 catgirl 573109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I'm hoping to run a half-marathon again this summer and I'd be happy to shave a second off my last time! i know how you feel, but remember you were not running a year ago, right? So this is all huge and so amazing.</p> <p>Love the red shirt and you can't have too many hats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-573096 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:07:02 +0000 CocoLion 573096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great casual outfit and the shirt, hat and shoes make it less predictable. It's fresh and I love that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-573085 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 21:56:29 +0000 Nakidra 573085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look really really cute!

Those jeans fit beautifully. The shoes and hat really finish it off. Congratulations on the marathon! Finishing is worth celebrating, and setting a PR (isn't that what ChristyG says you did?) is even better! I love your photographs on your website--they are aMAZing. Glad to hear you've got some exciting new installations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572926 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 19:06:19 +0000 Kirti 572926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are totally working that hat and COOL shoes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572846 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 18:01:23 +0000 Meredith1953 572846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That color of shirt is fab on you and it fits you very well! What is it that you didn't love about it? The hat is whimsical and as others have mentioned...adorable. I also love your doc sara's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572838 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:53:08 +0000 MsLuna 572838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Janet! Well from one fellow runner to another (although I'm not at your level) - chin up! There will always be races later on that you can improve upon your time! Although like you, I tend to be hard on myself with regards to race time as well, so I know how you feel!</p> <p>Needless to say, you look FABULOUS and I love this colour on you. And don't you forget it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572835 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:48:33 +0000 velvetychocolate 572835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cheery red blouse and the cute hat! I'm just amazed at the idea of running that many miles, and can only imagine how exhausted you must be. I'm with ManidipaM on this one - really wonderful that you can just pick yourself right back up and choose a lovely outfit to make the day feel better. </p> <p>I'm still in awe at the idea of running that far...whoa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572826 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:37:29 +0000 Jjsloane 572826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It must have been the sassy cap and vibrant red top that uplifted you! Congrats on the art success! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572823 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:35:19 +0000 Janet 572823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! You all are the best. Feeling a little better now. </p> <p>In an hour or so I get to go see my first ever large-scale art installation piece -- a 3 ft x 8 ft custom piece I created for an alcove in a residential client's bathroom renovation project. The room is finished and the client is thrilled with the art I provided. Plus I have a new project in the works for a large piece for a new business lobby. So all of that is good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572796 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:14:23 +0000 christieanne 572796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red is a powerful choice for you today and should help you get some mojo working.<br /> The hat is fun and wearing favorites is sure to make you feel great - you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572775 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 16:57:39 +0000 morethanbeige 572775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that shirt! You look great! And congratulations!

And LOVE the top --- reminds me of one I had (made for me by my father) that had a mock-wrap back that formed a vent like that when I moved around. Fun! And great for causing double-takes :-D</p> <p>On a more philosophical note, do you realize how brave you are for not just running that race but also pulling yourself up my your bootstraps and hoisting yourself into the cheery-mode outfit when you must be exhausted? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572737 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:59:06 +0000 rae 572737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the red shirt with its split back! The hat is fun and cheeky - I hope you are feeling better. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572730 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:52:06 +0000 Ildiko 572730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very playful in that outfit! The hat is very cute and the red top is gorgeous!<br /> Congratulations on your marathon! I just started running and I am training for my first 12K and I know how much discipline in takes to finish over 26 miles! You are amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572701 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:30:07 +0000 modgrl 572701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a funky top and hat! I love them both! Why not have a little fun? </p> <p>You should be so proud that you finished the race. That is an amazing thing that you did! Thirteen miles is a long way to drive and you ran it. On Foot! WOW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572695 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:26:52 +0000 Jilly 572695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago - used an outfit to perk up my mood. I love the pop of red on you, and the madras hat and oxfords are really fun - you look awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572666 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:05:41 +0000 christy 572666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all - you look great! I think the hat is adorable. So sorry you're feeling a bit of the blahs after the big run - I know how that goes. You already know this, but it bears repeating: the fact that you were able to run over 13 miles is a huge accomplishment no matter what your pace was! Think of the endurance and strength and mental will it takes to keep going when your body doesn't agree with what your mind is telling it to do. You bested your pace by nearly a minute - that's a pretty big deal! Okay - pep talk over! Congrats on finishing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572664 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:04:23 +0000 biscuitsmom 572664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shirt! Very pretty </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572642 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 14:47:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 572642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry you're feeling blah Janet - but you sure don't look it! I love the red blouse - the detail on the back is gorgeous. And I think the cap is adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-battling-the-blahs-with-red-and-a-4-hat#post-572639 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 14:45:07 +0000 Janet 572639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason I'm not having a great day (feeling discouraged about not making my goal time in the marathon, thought my thighs look huge in the race pics, bad hair day, blah blah blah, just stupid stuff and I know I'll feel better tomorrow). I just want to be comfortable, but also didn't want to succumb to the temptation to wear something drab to match my mood.</p> <p>So I pulled out one of my purchases from a while back that was still hanging with the tags on in my closet. It's not my perfect red shirt I wanted, but it's past the return period so it's mine now -- I figured I should at least give it a shot, and it's a big hit of color that will maybe give me some of my energy back! They had it styled in the store with it tied in the front like this, which I liked. I like the split back. I'm kind of over the gathered sleeve/shoulder thing, but maybe it's not so bad.</p> <p>As for the bad humidity-hair day, I pulled out this crazy madras cap I found for $4 and just couldn't resist. It might be ridiculous on me, but there it is.</p> <p>The jeans are my favorite and most comfortable pair, and the Doc Saras always make me smile.</p> <p>Feel free to tell me if I've lost my mind with this hat! For $4 I can afford to give it away. </p>
