The jeans and cons look exceptional on you. And I am just full of admiration for your farming, fruit gathering and preserving. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006730 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 02:10:30 +0000 Karie 1006730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favs are #2 and #8! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006712 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 01:05:52 +0000 pil 1006712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both tops with the gray jeans. While Ido like the blush top on you, I do see what Beth Ann is saying about using it for layering. And you now have me thinking about altering a pair of my bootcuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006710 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 01:00:54 +0000 Suz 1006710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the navy tank look a lot! And you are rocking those long shorts. Grapes look delicious.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006636 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 23:03:03 +0000 shedev 1006636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both tops with the grey jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006553 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 19:18:55 +0000 Lisa 1006553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow that's a lot of grapes!&nbsp; Great casual looks here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006541 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:42:06 +0000 Beth Ann 1006541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Editing is key to a great wardrobe!&nbsp; I wear insoles in my Cons, too.&nbsp; Also, you might try layering a low contast tee under the top in #2 when the weather gets color.</p> <p>The blush top?&nbsp; OK, but not a fabulous color on you.&nbsp; It might be useful as a blending piece with a topper.</p> <p>My grandparents grew Concords, and had a 2 acre "garden" on top of their jobs in a furniture factory.&nbsp; I have no idea how they worked that hard at 60! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006436 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 16:40:41 +0000 Sara L. 1006436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the top in #2/3 is great. Tapering will probably help the jeans in #4. I've done that to several pairs of mine and it's a quick and easy fix. I always try them on before cutting the extra fabric off just in case I need to make adjustments. </p> <p>Mmm, grapes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006428 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 16:32:22 +0000 amiable 1006428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie - I'm glad it works better! &nbsp;I feel like I should add some earrings or a necklace....</p> <p>Thanks Suzyq - your comment makes me realize that I could swap out the cognac belt and boots for white, and go for the washed out look. &nbsp;I'll try that idea soon!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006426 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 16:29:06 +0000 suzyq 1006426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see no problems with the color of the&nbsp;blush tee and the fit looks really good too. I kinda like the "washed out" look in 5. I think it's cocolion who does this to perfection. &nbsp;The navy tank looks great. &nbsp;Not sure if it's the color or the sleeve/neckline that frames your face so nicely. &nbsp; Yeah for extra grapes! &nbsp;I'm a wine making fiend so thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006416 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 16:00:40 +0000 Angie 1006416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You bet your cute patootie that the navy tank works, Amy. I like #8 A LOT. Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006406 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:27:55 +0000 amiable 1006406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! &nbsp;Until today, the top in #2 is too hot except when I know I'm going to be in air conditioning - so it's been reserved for then during the summer. &nbsp;It'll be coming out lots this fall though, I think.</p> <p>I also changed out of the blush shirt to try for one that is less washed-out with the gray jeans - does the navy tank work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006402 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:17:44 +0000 Angie 1006402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is a great look for you. No need to reserve it for date night! I always pop cushioning insoles into my Chucks. That might help. </p> <p>Good job purging, Amy. It's great to see you have fun and make progess in this way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-eliminating-orphans#post-1006392 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:11:27 +0000 amiable 1006392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for some reason, I started trying to wear closet orphans, to decide whether they're capable of earning their keep. &nbsp;This has resulted in a lot of "miss" outfits lately. &nbsp;But oh well, my closet is getting thinned :)</p> <p>#1: The pumpkin tee is gone</p> <p>#2 - 3:&nbsp;worn out on a date - the shoes are uncomfortable, but I'm going to try lacing them differently to see if they can be rescued.</p> <p>#4: I liked this one - I love the fit and drape of the shirt, and I think the blush color is okay on me - so I'm keeping it for now. &nbsp;The pants are on the "mend" pile to taper the legs - I think that will make them more wearable.&nbsp;</p> <p>#5: &nbsp;I'm wearing the same shirt in #4 today, but it's a cloudy day, and my pic is in artificial light. &nbsp;I'm amazed at how the color looks terrible on me in different lighting. &nbsp;If I didn't have pic #4 (also from this week), I'd probably not keep the top. &nbsp;and even today, I'm thinking of changing to a color that will brighten me up a little. (EDIT: I changed into a navy tee with the gray jeans in #8. &nbsp;I think it's a bit better - is it?)</p> <p>Bonus pics #6-7&nbsp;- the concord grapes are ripe. &nbsp;Picked about ten gallons yesterday. &nbsp;That will make a lot of jam - I may have to try wine or juice or something, just to use them all.</p> <p>I'd love feedback and suggestions for my outfits! </p> </p>
