You look so cool and crisp, who could tell that it is hot out when you are so icy cool! And #4 is so you, I can't believe you weren't a trouser girl. Ink blue and blush pink is a refreshing combination. And #1 and 2 are so fab too--you can wear any shade of blue!

My favorite, or course, is 4 with the blush trousers and ink shirt. It works!! Sveta on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-988012 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 02:41:16 +0000 Sveta 988012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beth Ann, that silk top was splotched with sweat  -I had to run an errand around noon that day and I was drenched. On the other hand I would be drenched in anything ad silk is so light and cool against the skin..it went right into wash that night and did not suffer any problems. And wow, nobody called my features "refined" yet, you have me blushing...:-) Beth Ann on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-988009 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 02:35:35 +0000 Beth Ann 988009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I hear the heat has broken, finally!  This was a great week for style, at any temperature!  I'm also a big fan of #3, although I can't imagine wearing even a loose solid silk top on a hot day --- I'd be all splotchy from sweat.  You look cool and calm! I'm enjoying your Summer dresses.  I think the soft color in #1 is so unexpected, but so very lovely.  There's something special in the softness of the color and the femininity of the silhouette juxtaposed with your sculpted and refined facial features. Sveta on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-988003 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 02:26:46 +0000 Sveta 988003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Parsley, this is where I take <a href="http://cdn1.youlookfab.com/files/2012/04/Dress.jpg" rel="nofollow">my inspiration </a>for turquoise and tomato red paired together! Finny about the corduroy being a winter fabric for you - for me it is really a summer piece! :-) Karie, Deborah, pil, amiable  - thanks! Adelfa, let's see this white blazer in action! Manidipa, I am able to wear these outfits because of the A/C in the office - all toppers come right off outside. Marley, dark intense blues are my favorite blue colors. I am glad that pairing ink blue and tan / gold was not a faux pas :-) Lisa, we have a cool down this week, it is SOOO great! I wore this blue dress last summer too. As for the flats I am not sure if they don't look a bit frumpy so it is ice to re re-assured you like them :-) Thistle, the trousers in #4 are blush pink, not white. Ornella - he-he, I can be a triplet with MaryK and Lisa even though my top is not cobalt but indigo...ok, I am a distant cousin!:-) texstyle, animal print is a neutral, right? :-) Angie, I did wore trousers before but I never felt fab in them. Now I do! Angie on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987944 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 01:05:16 +0000 Angie 987944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I started backwards and have already fainted at #4 - and at the gal who NEVER EVER wore trousers. And continues to create killer after killer outfit without even thinking about it! My word *faints with white crash helmet* texstyle on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987561 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 15:18:56 +0000 texstyle 987561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love your style Sveta - the first one is a perfect summer dress outfit in my eye. #2 is great, #3 is stunning and #4 is a definite "copy quick" as someone said - I hadn't even thought of wearing a leopard print belt with ink or navy blue and now I'm thinking it's brilliant the way you styled it with softer neutral tones in the pants and shoes. Ornella on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987545 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 14:55:15 +0000 Ornella 987545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous, but what else can be expected? #1 - Great color combination. #2 - Love your take on black+white+blue. Join MaryK and Lisa in using this combo check <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-717-new-skirt-new-bag-high-happiness-factor/page/2#post-983863">-> here <-</a>. #3 - I love how white blazer calms down the busy dress, but then the red bag says "hold on, I am not a safe dresser at all" :-D #4 - Eeeerm, yeah... copy copy quick. I die! Thistle on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987523 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 14:15:00 +0000 Thistle 987523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are all lovely, but #3 knocks it out of the park. Amazing!! #4 is my second favorite. So sharp, but I love the fact it is blue instead of black with the white. Lisa on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987492 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:33:35 +0000 Lisa 987492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A great week here.  You look lovely in this crazy heat we seem to have.  When will it end?  We've had heat lightening the past two nights.  My favorite outfit here is #3, I don't recall seeing this dress before and it's a fun strong print against the white blazer.  And everytime I see those slipper flats in #4 I think about getting a pair.  The texture look is what I especially like about them. amiable on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987488 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:30:28 +0000 amiable 987488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow!  These are all just terrific!  Way to stay cool and stylish!  pil on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987453 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:01:58 +0000 pil 987453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ All are terrific, though #3 is my fave. It must be the crisp white blazer. I find myself wanting your 'sweatshirt' in 2 and belt in 4 for myself! Marley on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987332 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 05:31:41 +0000 Marley 987332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #2 - Oh MY!  Just stunning!  The blue "sweatshirt" is the absolutely best color on you - and I always love me some blue mixed with black and white.  Add, the pop of color from your lipstick and this outfit is just divine.  Also, i think the blush and blue in the last outfit look really good together - and I love your decision to accessize with warm, rather than cool colors!  So unexpected - but it works! ManidipaM on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987318 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 05:14:34 +0000 ManidipaM 987318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I I clicked in intrigued by the first outfit, but they keep looking better with every frame. You sure look crisp for such hot and humid days! (Where I resort to tank and skirt, no toppers) My favourites are #2 and #4. That last is especially bold and paid off in spades. Adelfa on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987311 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 04:51:32 +0000 Adelfa 987311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love #3, because I've been trying to figure out how to wear my white blazer--inspiration! To my eye the bag works. Deborah on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987302 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 04:36:58 +0000 Deborah 987302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ All fab outfits, but #2 is particularly stunning.  The colour of the "sweatshirt" is just lovely on you Sveta. Karie on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987277 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 03:29:00 +0000 Karie 987277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #3 and #4 are my favs! Oh wait, #1 and #2 are my favs! OK, so I love them all Parsley on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987272 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 03:23:22 +0000 Parsley 987272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'd say you've maintained your cool style in spite of the heat, Sveta! I love 2,3, and 4! The blue with black and white in #2 is stellar! You look like such a chic professional in #3. I'm not totally sure about the red bag with this one, though. I think I'd rather see a cooler color, or black or white. I love the blush and navy combination in #4! I really like the dress in #1, but I associate corduroy so much with winter that the outfit seems seasonally confused to me, even though the jacket is lightweight. Maybe that's just me. I hope the weather is a little cooler this week for you! Sveta on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987268 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 03:14:54 +0000 Sveta 987268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lyn D, you crack me up! :-) marit - thank you! Suz, I bought just a few things at Cleo - this dress, short orchid trench and my blue patterned blouse. Usually their stuff does not fit me well  - unlike Shannon who is really lucky there. A for the khakis  -  I think the color may play a big role. I don't think I would wear mine as often if they were some "safe' neutral color like grey, olive or stone. Blush pink makes them on trend, modern and unexpected and the cut is good too - slouchy on top with nicely tapered legs. Suz on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987262 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 03:06:36 +0000 Suz 987262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Lyn said!  I am in love with #3. You and Shannon always pick the BEST stuff from Cleo. That dress with the jacket and unexpected red bag is stunning.  Also love your "bottle bottom" skirt with the blue. And I think the blush pants work with the blue top. You need to give me lessons in how to wear those khakis. I have only worn mine twice and never reach for them. I think I will cut them into BF shorts which would get a lot more wear.  marit on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987261 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 03:06:00 +0000 marit 987261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG, I just love that dress in #3 - paired with the white blazer it's killer. =) Sveta on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987260 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 03:05:21 +0000 Sveta 987260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Anna, any "like" from you is a thing to treasure because you have such unique style. Thank you!  Ceit and Susie, thank you for validating that ink blue and blush pink color combo was not a disaster!:-) Shannon, thanks God it cooled down over the weekend and it is  going to ne mid-20s this week. The heat was really brutal with close to 100% humidity!   Lyn D. on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987251 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 02:59:21 +0000 Lyn D. 987251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Not overwhelmed by your multiple pics, but ALWAYS overwhelmed by your Fab style Susie on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987243 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 02:52:03 +0000 Susie 987243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The color of that blue top is lovely on you- I like your sweatshirt! I also like the ink and blush together and you wear dresses so well. Nice set of blues!

But you have pulled it off magnificently. These outfits are lovely.  I'm particularly fond of #2 - I adore the blue top with the black/white pattern skirt. Very nice.

I also really like 2. The printed bottom with your silky 'sweatshirt' is great. annagybe on "WIW: blue to cool down the heat wave!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blue-to-cool-down-the-heat-wave#post-987228 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 02:40:24 +0000 annagybe 987228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #3 is fantastic.
