I was not wearing the Prima's in that photo, I was wearing Calvin Klein denim capris from the All Mighty Costco.&nbsp; I am very thankful that Janet was able to get me the Primas though - they are really awesome.&nbsp; If you can make a border run, I recommend trying them.&nbsp; They are freaking expensive to ship to Canada, more than most places, I don't know why.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-july---simple-summer-dressing-for-work#post-1299484 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 14:14:54 +0000 jackiec 1299484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are smashing it out of the ballpark with your outfits, Elizabeth!!! Of course I love the Trinas - they look amazing with your dress! I love #3 and #7 - I am new to the maxi-dress look but think you rock it. Every single outfit seems to have that "je-ne-sais-pas" something that makes it look stylish, current, and fresh. Wow! And I am so sad I can't get those Prima capris here...you are so lucky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-july---simple-summer-dressing-for-work#post-1299477 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 14:00:08 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1299477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you KNOW the lack of white doesn't bother me any - lol!</p> <p>These outfits all work extremely well Elizabeth. Of course, I especially love the EF dress. And I'm not a big maxi dress fan but you look incredible in #7 - love the denim jacket over the black maxi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-july---simple-summer-dressing-for-work#post-1299470 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 13:54:52 +0000 Lisa 1299470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it funny how you don't realize a trend in your dressing preferences until you look at a group of them? &nbsp;Back in the winter I realized I had no light colors for winter and that's why I was growing bored. &nbsp;#8 is my favorite because I really like this drape of top right now and the colors are lovely on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-july---simple-summer-dressing-for-work#post-1299410 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 12:47:20 +0000 Anonymous 1299410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 3 are my favorites and I love that top in 5. The pattern and colors are so lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-july---simple-summer-dressing-for-work#post-1299408 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 12:42:59 +0000 Elizabeth P 1299408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ceit and Suz!&nbsp; Suz, the sandals are by Guess, bought them in the spring of last year.&nbsp; One thing I AM noticing with the hair, is that I am reaching for silver sandals as a neutral.&nbsp; Last year I would have worn outfit #3 with navy shoes, I'm sure...&nbsp; Makes it easy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-july---simple-summer-dressing-for-work#post-1299404 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 12:20:49 +0000 Suz 1299404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black definitely still works. Your eyes stand out! Love the dress and also #3 -- fantastic! Thos pants are real winners on you. Plus the sandals are very cool. What are those?&nbsp;</p> <p>Top in #5 is super flattering on you. So is the crossover top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-july---simple-summer-dressing-for-work#post-1299374 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 11:22:46 +0000 Anonymous 1299374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these do look great.

For me, 3, 1, and 7 are standouts. I don't know why I gravitate toward the darker outfits! The others are fab, too, and you do look fantastic in all the colors you've chosen. I really like your blue shoes. I wonder how they would look peeking out from the maxi in 7. And what about adding a little more edge to the gorgeous blues in 6 by pairing the outfit with the cool sandals in 3? I think maybe you are enjoying dressing because you have so many great pieces that look terrific on you and mix so well together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-july---simple-summer-dressing-for-work#post-1299321 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 04:59:42 +0000 Neel 1299321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 3 have launched me into an orbit! The Trinas look so fantastic. You and jackiec wear it beautifully. The shoes in 3 are beautiful too.</p> <p>I think you have a closet full of clothes that fit and flatter you beautifully. You have some fantastic summer bottoms and tops, which makes summer an easy season for you. And that comes with the realization of personal style. You know what you want </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-july---simple-summer-dressing-for-work#post-1299319 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 04:52:41 +0000 LauraP 1299319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific! I love your sandals in #1. &nbsp;I think the summery colors in #5 and #9 look especially lovely. &nbsp;All of these are great combos-- fresh and well-composed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-july---simple-summer-dressing-for-work#post-1299211 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 02:05:28 +0000 Karie 1299211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these outfits look fabulous! It's so hard to pick a fav, but that top in #5 is a standout!<br />I've been liking my summer dressing more this year too, and I think it's because I'm finding a style that's more "me." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-july---simple-summer-dressing-for-work#post-1299210 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 02:05:15 +0000 Peri 1299210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like them all! Each one I said "hey I want that"...a few I said "hey I have that"! I need to try some of these combos now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-july---simple-summer-dressing-for-work#post-1299148 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 01:13:32 +0000 Thistle 1299148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely!
