And both blouses are great too, and the jewelry. </p> <p>I just failed entirely at the YLF thing of saying “x is my favorite”, didn’t I? </p> <p>Also, is NYDJ a thing? I did not know that. My pink skinnies are NYDJ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952264 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 18:58:17 +0000 Chris987 1952264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Lisap </b>and<b> Angie!&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952218 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 14:12:48 +0000 Angie 1952218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your Alvin story.

Yep, definitely a tropical summer, like you we do get a bit of this weather every year but it's lasting way longer this year. We have central AC at home and have been using it much more this year than any other year, although we don't crank it up too high. </p> <p>Thanks <b>Shevia &amp;&nbsp; Bridgie!&nbsp;<br /></b><br /><b>Jussie</b> yes it's so annoying when you look back and realize you should have duplicated certain things. Macy's often replaces older styles with similar ones so I might be able to come close to duplicating but at the moment the only jeans they have online in this brand and style are cropped ones. Hopefully that will change as we get into fall.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jessikams</b>, I know that cat behavior well, although Alvin doesn't do it that much. My other cat is the one that is always sticking his nose into handbags and paper bags and any other containers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952137 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 03:32:29 +0000 Jessikams 1952137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits are nice and I love hearing about such fun activities! My cats ALWAYS get into any bag that is left open. “Take me along!” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952136 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 03:07:06 +0000 jussie 1952136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans are really great on you. Pity they aren’t available anymore or I’d say duplicate!! And I like both outfits generally too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952135 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 02:46:32 +0000 bridgie 1952135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Love that ALVIN! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952133 Thu, 30 Aug 2018 02:25:30 +0000 Jaime 1952133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two terrific outfits.

I thought the haze was from the humidity! &nbsp;I can't imagine putting jeans on, on a day like today. It has been such a hot summer. We've been enjoying it on the whole, but today was just too much! I dress uber-casually also and often change a few times a day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952112 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 23:49:31 +0000 Chris987 1952112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Canada</b>! The gold sandals have turned out to be quite versatile. </p> <p><b>Ladonna</b> thanks. Alvin is such a happy creature to have around! And I think you are right that the second top could be just a little shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952093 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 21:14:03 +0000 Ledonna N. 1952093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, love Alvin. He is to cute.</p> <p>Your jeans as alway fit very well. From what i can see in the hip and thigh area. It has been above humid rainy hot here </p> <p>For me the top in your second picture either needs to be up a bit more if that makes sense. But I really like it and for hot days very nice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952092 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 21:12:10 +0000 Canada 1952092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alvin is a grand accessory and I love those soft metallic shoes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952091 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 20:54:03 +0000 Chris987 1952091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie </b>yes, I do think I've figured out fit. Now I feel I want to relax it a little. Alvin is my favorite cognac accessory, and he found us, we didn't find him, so it was meant to be. Cats sometimes just show up and move in with you if you let them, that is how he ended up with us.</p> <p>Thanks<b> Sal</b>,&nbsp;and I definitely get&nbsp;how different our seasons are in the North vs. South Hemispheres. The international flavor of&nbsp;the YLF membership makes it more fun!&nbsp; Yes, Alvin is definitely a handsome boy. Cats can sometimes be funny looking, but this guy is just plain great to look at. </p> </p> <p>Thanks <b>Wise Shopper</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952085 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 20:31:44 +0000 Wise Shopper 1952085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first outfit, not a big fan of the second.

EXCELLENT fits on all of it <b>Chirs</b>, and aren't those jeans a fun wash.&nbsp;</p> <p>You've worked hard to create a good fit and it<i> shows</i>. Very nicely done.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the sandals, and Alvin is a sweetie. He matches your earth toned capsule &nbsp;:)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952069 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 19:28:32 +0000 Chris987 1952069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much Katerina! I know you are into a lot of strong colors, and I prefer neutrals, but it's ALL good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952057 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 18:20:42 +0000 Katerina 1952057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smashing outfits! Love the pub night outfit in particular, very chic with the metallic sandals and lovely jewelry. The top in the second outfit is great. You look fabulous. Alvin is so cool laying next to Calvin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-in-the-summer-heat#post-1952014 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 14:48:44 +0000 Chris987 1952014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't posted any outfits in ages, so here are a few things I've worn recently. New England suburban/rural style seems to be among the most casual anywhere, especially outside work environments, and I fit right in with these two outfits. As you probably know we (and other parts of the Northern Hemisphere) are been having one of the hottest, most humid summers on record. It's like the tropics.&nbsp;</p> <p>1. Worn last week to a pizza/barbecue/pub place where we attend open mic night almost every week. I love talking to the musicians who play here. They range from a 12-year old who writes his own blues pieces to a guy who moved here from Scotland a few years ago and loves US folk music, to all kinds of others. My outfit was actually a bit too warm for the not-so-great AC, but we sat outside and listened through the open window and it was perfect on this particular night where the temps were more "normal". Loft blouse, INC jeans, gold sandals and a bit of gold jewelry. I had to lighten the photo to see the colors so it looks a little hazy.</p> <p>2. Worn today for a few hours spent at the library.&nbsp; Blasting AC seems to be a thing of the past in most public spaces these days, so I was NOT cold. Levi's Bermudas, NYDJ sleeveless blouse, white huaraches.&nbsp; I got this blouse at my first ever NAS in 2016 and love it, and will probably buy a few more in this style eventually. NYDJ does not "get" petites very well - this is a petite size and I had to take in the shoulders and shorten the front hem :-), but now that I've done it once I can easily repeat it.&nbsp;</p> <p>.3 .. ALVIN guarding my CALVIN (Klein) bag. I think he was hoping I'd pop him in the bag and take him to the library with me </p>
