The Beth Ann top is ridiculously awesome on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265883 Sat, 31 May 2014 20:47:38 +0000 Kristin L 1265883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all looks great on you. I like the white bottoms with the pink floral top. It brightens your outfit up a bit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265843 Sat, 31 May 2014 19:53:19 +0000 amiable 1265843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Beth Ann - that was my experience too. &nbsp;I washed and line dried, and it did shrink a little, but not a lot. &nbsp;I'll need to be careful with it, as my kids generally do the household laundry, and tumble dry everything.<br />I still love the top though. &nbsp;And you're right, that owning clothes that fit and in proportions that work for you makes just getting dressed work reasonably well :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265831 Sat, 31 May 2014 19:35:18 +0000 Beth Ann 1265831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the tee on you, Amy!&nbsp; Incidentally, I just washed mine and line dried.&nbsp; It shrunk a bit, but nothing noticeable.&nbsp; I won't tumble dry.&nbsp; I love it in #2 and 6.&nbsp; I like the denim topper, too, although I think I'd love it even more with a full sleeve.</p> <p>I think the first outfit is great, also.</p> <p>I think the ability to "just get dressed" is helped by building a cohesive wardrobe -- laying the groundwork by learning about fit and proportion, building outfits and capsules.&nbsp; No one has time to devote constant energy to style.&nbsp; I find it works best to go in cycles -- seasons, capsules, travel, etc., and then let myself just "wear the heck out of my clothes."&nbsp; </p> <p>You're "just getting dressed" is looking fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265753 Sat, 31 May 2014 18:02:42 +0000 Anonymous 1265753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great, but I'm particularly fond of the outfit in #2 I love that top! The other stylings of it are great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265752 Sat, 31 May 2014 18:00:42 +0000 amiable 1265752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And Thanks Angie - I'm liking my hair more as it grows (though it's definitely due for a trim). &nbsp;I think I'm going to go for something between chin and shoulder length. &nbsp;&nbsp;#2 is my favorite too - I'm glad that I bought it (new, even!) &nbsp;:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265750 Sat, 31 May 2014 18:00:15 +0000 Suz 1265750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are gorgeous on you, Ami! I love both tops, and this simple, easy presentation looks both sporty and elegant on you. The Beth Ann tee looks especially amazing with the white. Wow!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265748 Sat, 31 May 2014 17:59:02 +0000 amiable 1265748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So far yes, Astrid. &nbsp;I love not having to think through how I want to look - just take the shirt on top and whatever works for the rest. &nbsp;When I return shirts from the laundry, I put them in back. &nbsp;I'm currently wondering why I haven't always done this. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br />Glad it's been working well for you also!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265747 Sat, 31 May 2014 17:58:29 +0000 Angie 1265747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's fun to see your hair longer, and in a happy Summer floral, Amy. #2 is my favourite.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265740 Sat, 31 May 2014 17:49:33 +0000 Astrid 1265740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad I inspired you! It looks all good to me. Deciding on this took a lot of stress out of dressing for me. Was it the same for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265736 Sat, 31 May 2014 17:43:37 +0000 amiable 1265736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kate and Peri -&nbsp;<br />Peri, I have no idea what the first one is. &nbsp;I've had it for years and years. &nbsp;Last year, I shortened the sleeves to make it wearable again.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265734 Sat, 31 May 2014 17:41:03 +0000 Peri 1265734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! Actually maybe my favorites for you!</p> <p>The second T looks so much like my Ted Baker one I had to follow the link. &nbsp;I particularly love the first T...what is that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265689 Sat, 31 May 2014 16:41:28 +0000 Anonymous 1265689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these look great, Amy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-easy-dressing-rather-long#post-1265683 Sat, 31 May 2014 16:37:39 +0000 amiable 1265683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After reading Astrid's thread where she mentioned giving herself permission to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---keeping-it-real-in-the-new-shorts">"just get dressed"</a>, I was inspired to do the same. &nbsp;So most of this week I've done just that. &nbsp;Here's the results of grabbing the shirt in the front of the drawer and picking some bottom that's appropriate to the shirt and the day's activities and weather).</p> <p>#1 A woven tee with jean whatever-you-call-this-length-shorts.<br />#2 The&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/run-around">Beth Ann copycat tee</a>&nbsp;for a church ladies gathering.<br />#3 Camo shirt and black shorts for Saturday yard and housework. &nbsp;Pardon the clunky shoes - I'm trying out wearing Birkenstocks all day long before springing for Birkenstock sandals.<br />#4-6 additional ways I tried styling the Beth Ann tee. &nbsp;#4 is how she styled it, #5 with pink rather than my falling-apart black ones, and #6 with white jeans. &nbsp;Somehow I feel like my dark hair demanded the darker pants - the white felt off somehow.</p> <p>All comments (especially suggestions for improvement)&nbsp;are welcome!</p>
