I am having visions of you 'unpeeling' on the move; revealing your different personas for different occasions, as you walk between rooms and to the car...! Sounds hectic! You look great, though! I particularly like the casual version! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1252190 Thu, 15 May 2014 04:52:47 +0000 Kiwichik 1252190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure why you felt frumpy as you look fab from head to toe in both outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1251775 Wed, 14 May 2014 21:09:49 +0000 JAileen 1251775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of your outfits, or iterations of the same outfit. Anyway, you always look well put together, and chic. Even though I now live in a desert (the humidity is at 10 percent right now), I used to live on the Gulf Coast and know all too well how awful it can get. On Thistle's maternity wardrobe I mentioned that I never bought maternity pants, only shorts! I never found the secret to looking great in the heat and humidity. I did try to wear lots of linen. I'm not sure if it helped or not. You seem to have it down pat. Congrats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1251645 Wed, 14 May 2014 18:43:35 +0000 Vicki 1251645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your post and they way you wrote about your day, carter! &nbsp;You had the right outfit to take on the day and take off what you needed as it warmed up. &nbsp;Spectacular from head to toe and both pumps and sandals are adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1251207 Wed, 14 May 2014 04:44:27 +0000 Beth Ann 1251207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No frump factor in either pic, Carter!&nbsp; I suspect you're still a little less comfortable with waist surrender, but I think the proportions are modern and fresh in #2.&nbsp; #1 has great polish!</p> <p>In the 50's here tomorrow............. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1251140 Wed, 14 May 2014 02:54:23 +0000 carter 1251140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Gigi, Aida and Sevia.</p> <p>Oh Aida! I would so love to not get out of the 80s. We'll hit the 90s in a couple weeks and won't see 80s again until October. Yick! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1251090 Wed, 14 May 2014 01:58:56 +0000 Jaime 1251090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great transformation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1251086 Wed, 14 May 2014 01:56:54 +0000 Aida 1251086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a pretty brilliant outfit, easily simplifying&nbsp;(and cooling off)&nbsp;at each stage as necessary. That's a great heat strategy, instead of trying to make one look that works across all events. A summer&nbsp;sort of layering. Fab crops, that length looks super/</p> <p>(I'm with Angie, totally ready for summer. But then we don't tend to make it out of the 80s out here. It's a rare,&nbsp;perfect breezy 85 today!)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1251027 Wed, 14 May 2014 01:13:45 +0000 Gigi 1251027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see absolutely no frump! You look great in both pics. The first outfit is attention grabbing, in a good way...good for a closing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1251013 Wed, 14 May 2014 01:00:32 +0000 carter 1251013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>Angie, I finally got a chance to catch up on today's blog post. I always shoot for authority and control for a closing. So pleased with myself that I instinctually went for drama in my outfit...color, contrast, cool shoes and red nails! Woohoo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250938 Tue, 13 May 2014 23:31:29 +0000 deb 1250938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do not look frumpy at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250934 Tue, 13 May 2014 23:29:24 +0000 Susie 1250934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah yes the heat and humidity have arrived here too, though today is much cooler. I would love a couple of months of 65-75 degrees but we just don't get that. </p> <p>But you look cool as a cucumber and I see no frump! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250917 Tue, 13 May 2014 23:13:21 +0000 Angie 1250917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(I am, on the otherhand,&nbsp;SO ready for Summer. It's 80 today and I love it).&nbsp;</p> <p>Carter, you look smashing. Killer pant lengths and fit.&nbsp;And #2 is an excellent way to make you work outfit more casual and breezy. Well done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250913 Tue, 13 May 2014 23:10:22 +0000 Anonymous 1250913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No frump here but I sympathize and do the disrobing dance on hot days ( or hot flashes) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250877 Tue, 13 May 2014 22:34:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1250877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! I love the jacket and shoes in photo 1; they look terrific with the ankle pants. The second outfit looks casual yet polished. I empathize with hair that grows out (sideways, that is!) in the humidity. And I can't imagine you looking frumpy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250839 Tue, 13 May 2014 21:43:43 +0000 carter 1250839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ornella! The jacket is an old one that I love. It has a sash of the same material, but the contrast mix wasn't working for me today, so I switched the sash for a black ribbon. Those are my favorite shoes, but they are not all-day shoes!</p> <p>That's hysterical, Laura! I couldn't go quite that far since I had to disrobe in my car all day.</p> <p>Thanks, Karie!</p> <p>Janet, I hear you on the heat. I'm now in a tee and capris with my hair in a scrunchi on top of my head.</p> <p>Oh Dustt, your hair needs to grow fast so you can pull it up in the summer! If it's this hot and humid already, it's going to be miserable in a couple months.</p> <p>Thanks, Zibbets. We'll have to do a "big hair" fashion show this summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250830 Tue, 13 May 2014 21:32:21 +0000 Zibbets 1250830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smart lady, dressing in layers! My hair does the same thing in the humidity, it just gets bigger and bigger.</p> <p>You looked great all day! Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250817 Tue, 13 May 2014 21:03:56 +0000 dustt 1250817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter - you look great for both looks- not at all frumpy in the second "disrobing"&nbsp;and it looks like some of us will have to develop a secret handshake for the incredible growing humidity hair!! - up to 80 here in the great white north - with storms and humidity all day - my hair looks like a dustmop!! and it's currently too short to pull it back - that was really poor planning on my part!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250807 Tue, 13 May 2014 20:49:24 +0000 Janet 1250807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter, you and I are singing the same tune today! I'm not ready for summer either. Meh. I'm already sporting my "I give up" hair. After yesterday and my impromptu bike ride and getting caught in the rain before meeting a friend to go to a baseball game, I figure everyone's seen it all curly and frizzy anyway! :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>But you look great. Stay cool! This time of year, I peel off my real clothes as soon as I get home for the evening and spend the rest of the night in tank top and shorts. Not fab but sure feels better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250802 Tue, 13 May 2014 20:39:04 +0000 Karie 1250802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When it comes to beating the heat, ya gotta do what ya gotta do! You look fab in all renditions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250800 Tue, 13 May 2014 20:36:36 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1250800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had days like this - dump the topper, change the shoes, maybe add or remove an accessory, change from slacks to jeans, grab a different bag... and by the end of the night you're in a completely different outfit excepting underwear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250747 Tue, 13 May 2014 19:32:30 +0000 Ornella 1250747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Given how strategic your dressing and undressing sounds, you are ready ;-)</p> <p>I love the colour of your jacket and the shoes are beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-defrocking-throughout-the-day#post-1250732 Tue, 13 May 2014 19:11:38 +0000 carter 1250732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>.</p>
