Good heavens.....all these outfits are stellar, my favorites are 5 and 6. I love the all white outfit, too, with the touches of leopard. ps..would have loved to accompany you on the tour of the warehouse converted to an art studio-sounds cool and interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-921627 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:27:32 +0000 Debbie 921627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love them all.

I especially like 1&amp;2. I don't see anything wrong with the all white outfit &amp; the touches of leopard are perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-921045 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:36:37 +0000 jenanded 921045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ you look great. i think i have similar elements to 5 so off to play&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-921039 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:31:15 +0000 Parsley 921039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Una. I think the Madewelll jacket would look good for a dressier version of the white outfit, but for carrying around a grubby-handed toddler I'll stick with something machine washable! That utility jacket might just be better with blue jeans than with white, I don't know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-921022 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:18:05 +0000 catgirl 921022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are so inspiring! &nbsp;What about the white outfit with your Madewell jacket instead? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-921018 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:17:00 +0000 Parsley 921018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the very kind and helpful comments!<br /> Sona, I'm chuckling a bit about the volume on top, because I think most of that volume is ME, not the jackets. They do have a boxy cut, but I have a bit of a boxy shape, so there you go!</p> <p>Claire, I think you're onto something about adding texture. Oh no, I may have identified another wardrobe hole!</p> <p>Angie, thanks! Gosh, I'm honored to be compared in any way to Deborah. I admire her style immensely.</p> <p>Vicki, good idea to try adding some fun to the white with a scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920938 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:55:25 +0000 Vicki 920938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You can't be a grandmother!!! &nbsp;Since you are, your grandchildren must be so happy and impressed with their beautiful GOTG!! &nbsp;I love them all and can't add anything here; the dress in 2-3 is spectacular, Parsley.<br /><br />I am so copying you in #6 and I love Angie's pick of #7 and don't see the GHM at all. &nbsp;I love the leopard flats you wore and if you wanted to add a red scarf to mix it up, that would be a gorgeous addition to your lovely dark hair and white outfit. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920928 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:47:31 +0000 Angie 920928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #7 is my best! You probably could have guessed that :). You look the very furthest thing from boring! Very stylish. <br /><br />You have a terrific chic sense of style, Marci. It reminds me a little of Australian Debs's look - although you wear quite different looks too. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920847 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:52:38 +0000 Anonymous 920847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very nice Marcy! I love neutrals, so no worry about looking boring to me. Those modern black and white blazers in the first pictures look like they will be work horses for you this spring. I love the drama of the large lapels and low stance on you.&nbsp;<br /><br />As for the white on white, it looks pretty good to me! I love the way you mixed a darker shoe and belt&nbsp;and how your jacket has dark buttons.&nbsp;I think mixing up the textures might also help&nbsp;to avoid the Good Humor Man look. I don't have enough different textures in my white items yet to pull it off. I'd love a slubby linen or silk sweater. I'm pretty sure the GHM wouldn't have had one of those as part of his uniform, lol! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920846 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:51:37 +0000 Sarah S 920846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A grandmother? No WAY! Love the white on white.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920843 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 15:48:54 +0000 Mona 920843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look so pretty in #1 that I can't even stand it. You have a gorgeous smile and those sprakly slipper flats are so awesome.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920805 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:41:15 +0000 Thistle 920805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My grandmother was never, ever this stylish!&nbsp; YLF in all of the outfits!&nbsp; My favorite is #2 and #6, but all are terrific. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920801 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:39:20 +0000 Sona 920801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love all the looks Parsley except 5 and 7. I think its because of the volume on top. I am not sure what the solution is but playing around with those two jackets in particular and different bottom silhouettes might be good homework.<br />You look like a million bucks and more in the rest!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920797 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:31:03 +0000 Parsley 920797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, you all make me blush, you're so sweet!</p> <p>Liz, the bag is Coach. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920785 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:19:43 +0000 Liz A. 920785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Parsley, what kind of bag is that red one?&nbsp; I really like it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920740 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:43:41 +0000 Anonymous 920740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't remember grandmas being this hip!!! &nbsp;These all look great. &nbsp;My favorite is #6. &nbsp;You are so beautiful! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920732 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:34:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 920732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow Parsley - you and Lantana are really showing us how a Grandmother should look!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920612 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 06:14:37 +0000 Anonymous 920612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in all of these! (I like when you do your hair curly too) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920609 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 06:10:05 +0000 CocoLion 920609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG, you are so stunning. &nbsp;I love your style, and you are such a beautiful woman! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920553 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 04:03:42 +0000 Deborah 920553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think all these outfits look stunning.&nbsp; I particularly like #2, that dress is gorgeous.&nbsp; The white on white is also lovely.&nbsp; I agree with other suggestions that it might just be the shape of the jacket that is throwing you a little. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920485 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 02:34:04 +0000 Parsley 920485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good suggestions, Suz and Sarah about the jacket. I do like the boxy style of the jacket, but maybe not in an all-white outfit. I'll try mixing it up a little, because I love the white-on-white look on others, and I've been really wanting to try it.&nbsp;<br /><br />Lemming that I am, I did get the Gap mesh sleeved sweater, &nbsp;and I like that with the white jeans, but I just couldn't post it to&nbsp;follow your stunning interpretation of that look, Suz!<br /><br />Caro, I'll try it with a different tee, too. Thanks. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920474 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 02:21:56 +0000 Beth Ann 920474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great looks, all of them!&nbsp; #1 is a real standout to me -- modern in the choice of a white, not black jacket, and in it's shape.&nbsp; Then you add the soft trousers.&nbsp; Brilliant, and very flattering.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920463 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 02:07:57 +0000 sarah 920463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, everything looks wonderful, as always. You have such impeccable style. I wonder if it's the style of the jacket in the white on white outfit that is throwing you. Maybe something less "utility" would remind you less of the Good Humor man. A blazer perhaps? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920462 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 02:06:41 +0000 Suz 920462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look amazing!! I think my faves are 1 and 6, but they're all superb. As for the white on white, I wonder if the jacket felt too boxy? What would happen if you tried a drapey top, instead, either a sweater or a silky tee? Or even&nbsp;your dressier white jacket? I don't think it <b>looks </b>too boxy, as is, but I am wondering if you increased the dressiness quotient <b>or</b> added a bit of drape and ease,&nbsp;whether you would feel a bit more "you."&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920446 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 01:50:50 +0000 Debora 920446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Every single look is fab, Parsley. Once again, you have knocked it out of the ball park. You are stunning!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920442 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 01:46:05 +0000 Caro in Oz 920442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they all look great - my favourite is #6 not sure why just love that look on you. &nbsp;The&nbsp;all white looks good imo, but what about a patterned tee to break it up if you don't like it? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920438 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 01:41:20 +0000 Lantana 920438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YLF in ALL of these Parsley but I am bowled over by the white on white. It's superb. Sort of subtle and understated yet&nbsp; powerful at the same time. <br />How lucky your grandchildren are to have a Grandmother with such a persona.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-date-nights-and-gotg#post-920430 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 01:34:13 +0000 Parsley 920430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here are a few recent WIWs: a few dressier&nbsp;looks for going out in the evening, and a few&nbsp;really casual outfits for running to the store and taking care of the grandkids. For our still cool spring weather I guess I've had sort of a uniform of a dress with a jacket or pants and&nbsp;top with&nbsp;a jacket, and pretty much all neutrals. I hope it's not too boring.<br /><br />I felt pretty good in all of these, except the white-on-white one, which didn't really feel like me. Any suggestions for how I can improve it? I felt kind of like the Good Humor man.&nbsp;<br /><br />1- Worn out to dinner with friends&nbsp;at a nice restaurant. Eileen Fisher slouchy silk pants, Ann Taylor lace shell, Madewell jacket, Stuart Weitzman studded slipper flats. I have been loving these shoes to death, and wearing them all the time. They were a spurge, but I'm so glad I got them.<br /><br />2,3- Dinner and a French cabaret performance at a local club. Tried to get an outdoor photo, but it was raining again, so retreated indoors.&nbsp;<br />COS dress (sort of a t-shirt knit) Eliza J jacket, nude hose,&nbsp;Cole Haan pumps, J Crew necklace.&nbsp;<br /><br />4- Open house at an old warehouse converted to&nbsp;artists' studios. Banana Republic black jeans, Vince silk top, Eliza J jacket again, and not shown, the studded flats again.<br /><br />5- GOTG (grandma on the go): Urban outfitters slouchy skinnies, White Rag &amp; Bone silky tee, L.L. Bean military jacket, Madewell leopard ballet flats.<br /><br />6- Finally a warmer day! Out shopping. Alexander Wang black t-shirt dress, ancient denim jacket- Kohl's, I think. Nine West sandals.<br /><br />7- More GOTG: NYDJ white jeans, Rag &amp; Bone cream silky tee, ivory Gap military jacket, Madewell leopard ballet flats.<br /><br />Comments, suggestions for improvement requested!<br /><br />
