You are really pulling off all of these looks with the most amazing ease. Angie is right, you've really shot off the charts this year! Now I'm falling over myself to find those white Gap khakis--thanks for the tip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972657 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 18:39:50 +0000 Anonymous 972657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All stunning, though faves are 2, 3 and 4.

I almost sent it back, but my DH encouraged me to keep it. Thanks for the encouragement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972420 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 05:01:43 +0000 Makrame 972420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every one of these outfits&nbsp;is great! &nbsp;I especially like your kimono outfit, the blouses from Vince, and those sandals.

I love seeing round ups of casual outfits and these are superb! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972272 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 01:33:27 +0000 Parsley 972272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, You're so sweet! I was inspired to try the kimono after seeing it on you. (although I was worried that I couldn't possibly wear it as well as you) I don't think the EF sandals are still available, but I think it may be a style that they'll&nbsp;<br />carry again next year. I got mine at garnethill.com, but they also had them at Nordstrom and eileenfisher.com<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.lyst.com/shoes/eileen-fisher-cage-sandal-ash/">http://www.lyst.com/shoes/eile.....andal-ash/</a><br />If they do have them again, I cannot recommend them highly enough!</p> <p>Sveta, You know, I have come full circle back to skinnies again. I've been wearing the Gap skinny mini white khakis pretty much constantly, and I just got another pair in olive green for fall (on sale last week for $24.99!)</p> <p>Caro, and Amiable- thank you so much!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972238 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 00:45:31 +0000 Caro in Oz 972238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab, so very fab #1 &amp; #2 are my faves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972228 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 00:14:51 +0000 amiable 972228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!&nbsp; I completely love them all! Especially that top in #3, and those caged sandals!&nbsp; And all the others.&nbsp; Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972224 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 00:08:58 +0000 Sveta 972224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all great, Marcy but ##1 and 2 are amazing. You may rekindle my love for skinnies which really dwindled for the last year...<br />Now I also feel a fainting spell coming, I think I need to get a crash helmet, I wonder which color...&nbsp;:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972198 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 23:22:28 +0000 Suz 972198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG!!! I am with Angie. Every. Single. One. Of these is <b>STELLAR!!!&nbsp;</p> <p></b><i>Sorry for shouting but that is what your supposedly "basic" style will do to me.&nbsp;<br /></i><b><br /></b>You look amazing in #1. So jealous that you can wear that colour so well. As for #2, now that is how the Zara kimono <b>should</b> be worn; I knew there was a reason I sent it back. It belonged to you!&nbsp;<br /><b><br /></b>I also adore #3. Wow.<b>&nbsp;</p> <p></b>Do you think the EF sandals are still available? I have been admiring these on you all season. Do you find them TTS?&nbsp;<b><br /></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972191 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 23:07:26 +0000 Parsley 972191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BethAnn- I'm chuckling knowingly about the hub's smooth legs! We've been trying to ride more, but not too often on the tandem. It does keep J from getting way ahead of&nbsp;me, though, when we're riding together!</p> <p>Una, Aww, thanks! I'm eager to try that citron top with some olive green pants after loving your outfit the other day...<br />I tell you, if I could just live in Vince stuff I'd be pretty happy.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972187 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 23:00:14 +0000 catgirl 972187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits are all different yet all so outrageously fab I don't even know where to begin.&nbsp; You look absolutely PERFECT in every one.&nbsp; The citron top is stealing my heart! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972184 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 22:56:58 +0000 Beth Ann 972184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!&nbsp; You should teach a course on "Looking Fall all Summer Long."&nbsp; These are terrific.&nbsp; Beautiful fabrics, colors, proportions, and just a little oomph from well-edited accessories.</p> <p>I'm a cyclist, too, and if we could swing the purchase and spare the space, we'd have a tandem, too.&nbsp; My DH is pretty serious, which means his legs are smoother than mine and we're glued to Tour coverage for the whole month of July! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972179 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 22:41:59 +0000 Parsley 972179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your comments!<br />Ceit- Thanks! I liked that top so much I got the dress in the same print!<br />Christieanne- I wasn't sure about the shorts outfit- I'm not a pro at semi-tucks, and my husband said "It looks like you forgot something with your shirt hanging out like that", so I'm glad to hear it's OK.<br />DonnaT- A tandem can either be lots of fun or a recipe for divorce! We had to work on our communications a bit so that I don't start pedaling hard just as he starts to brake!<br />Vicki- um, no worries about needing to step up your game, Your Fabness!<br />Here's to us lemmings- Cheers!<br />Angie- thank you so much! (blushing!) Now I just need to figure out a style descriptor, or some adjectives, or something to help me narrow down what to shop for.<br />I'll start another thread about that, soon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972173 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 22:29:57 +0000 Angie 972173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have KILLER style.

Outstanding outfits and outstanding life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972166 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 22:10:30 +0000 donnat 972166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I want to copy 1,2,3,4, and 6.

Your outfits ate awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972165 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 22:10:22 +0000 christieanne 972165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your "simple" summer casual style packs a punch! Looks like you have found some fun pieces and some "all day" sandals. Love the yellow blouse and your shorts look especially but all are wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-to-more-casual-for-summer-1#post-972163 Sat, 06 Jul 2013 22:10:07 +0000 Anonymous 972163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!

Rag &amp; Bone white silky tee, Gap skinny khakis, Eileen Fisher cage wedge sandals</p> <p>3- Casual "birthday party"/reunion with some of our high school classmates- we all turn the big six-O this year. Vince silk top, Gap white skinny pants, same EF caged sandals.</p> <p>I love these sandals! I was on my feet all evening, including dancing (to a great oldies band) and my feet did not hurt AT ALL!</p> <p>4- LOOK AWAY, Angie! ;-)&nbsp;Running errands: Kensie maxi dress, denim jacket, Sam &amp; Libby sandals from Target. Sorry, Angie, I love my maxi dress! It's super comfy for lounging at home without the jacket, and I feel decently put together with the denim jacket over it for errands.</p> <p>5- GOTG: hanging out with the grandkids and running them to gymnastics, etc.: Zara chambray shirt, Gap white skinny pants, Eileen Fisher silver wedge sandals.</p> <p>6- To a baseball game with the family: white Ann Taylor shorts, Pleione woven tee, Target sandals.</p> <p>7- (Thrown in just for fun!) Our local cycling association's annual "Nite RIde"- a ~20 mile bike ride through our city starting at 11pm. Hubby and I do it every year on our tandem. We had a great time!</p>
