I wanted one but could not afford the price. Plus the print would have worn me as a petite weighing about 85 pounds. Love your outfits and coats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1774439 Sat, 04 Feb 2017 18:40:22 +0000 harmonica 1774439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! Sorry the late response, RL hit me and left little room much else.</p> <p><b>Beth Ann</b>: That'a a great strategy!<br /><b>shevia</b>: That's so sweet of you! I really took it in.<br /><b>DonnaF</b>: 100% cotton jeans feels great and has a nice girdling effect that doesn't feel constricting. And they don't sag after one day's wear. ;-)<br /><b>RL, Momo</b>: Thanks!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1772223 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 22:30:35 +0000 Momo 1772223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blouse is really lovely, great Jeans and coat.<br /> Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1772188 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 19:43:29 +0000 rachylou 1772188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The citron coat with the jeans is delectable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771973 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 02:33:25 +0000 DonnaF 1771973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous blouse!&nbsp; I am a TOTAL fan of 100% cotton jeans.&nbsp; Great score on both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771787 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 03:29:33 +0000 Jaime 1771787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One should never be beaten up for wearing fabulous clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771774 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 02:26:29 +0000 Beth Ann 1771774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful pieces! &nbsp;I try to save a few of my fashion dollars for a midseason refresher. &nbsp;These pieces have all the marks of a January re-boot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771593 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 11:49:05 +0000 harmonica 1771593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen: clothes from Marimekko are quite distinct in bold patterns and colour, often combined in classic silhuettes of 60's and 70's silhuettes. It really stands out in the sea of neutrals. You could also play cameleon if you have lots of Marimekko home decor, dishes, porcelein and fabrics. Lol. You have to be at peace with this kind of style, though. I prefer it as a small dash of fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771486 Wed, 25 Jan 2017 00:03:09 +0000 JAileen 1771486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had no idea Marimekko made clothes. I love both coats. The jeans look great on you, and for heaven sakes, they're kind of a necessity. The blouse is lovely. If you're going to blow your budget, this is the way to do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771473 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 22:48:09 +0000 harmonica 1771473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Suz! I can see the blouse with my black mini culottes, burgundy cropped pants and white cropped jeans. Probably some other pants, too. I think skirts will read too dressy, for me at least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771439 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 19:25:42 +0000 Suz 1771439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are absolutely worth breaking a shopping fast for -- two terrific pieces that will get a ton of wear. I love both of them on you and both together. The blouse is gorgeous! And wow, I still smile when I see your happy coat. Love the parka and plaid, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771437 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 19:21:47 +0000 harmonica 1771437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for being so kind about breaking the shopping fast! I already know the jeans will be a workhorse for casual days. Very glad you liked the blouse. It really is maximal and out of my usual comfort zone (sheer, tie, ruffles). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771362 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 15:48:18 +0000 Sara L. 1771362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The perfect jeans are hard to find so these seem worthy of breaking your shopping fast. &nbsp;I also love the details on your blouse. &nbsp;It's so pretty and versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771357 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 15:22:33 +0000 Bonnie 1771357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans and blouse are great additions and are worthy of breaking the fast. They look great with both coats and the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771348 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 14:35:36 +0000 Lisa 1771348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of light blue jeans on my shopping list for spring/summer this year, how wonderful you found your pair. &nbsp;The new blouse is gorgeous, great details on the front, and I agree, that coat is truly a happy coat. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771339 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 13:30:02 +0000 Sisi 1771339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit! The blouse is very interesting and the&nbsp;yellow&nbsp;&nbsp;coat looks actually "happy". I also like the toffee coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-failing-wmc-new-blousejeans-different-coats#post-1771330 Tue, 24 Jan 2017 12:45:08 +0000 harmonica 1771330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, my WMC (wear my clothes) went out of the window last week due to sales goggles, stress triggers and my love for fashion. I'm not going to beat myself all up, but rather make the next step right. </p> <p>The jeans are in a light blue colour and will replace my old pair which soon will fall to pieces. The fabric is 100% cotton with no stretch and feels unusual, but reminds me of my jeans from the late 1980's. French brand: A.P.C.</p> <p>The blouse, #2, is maximal and on trend with a lot going on (ruffles, dots, sheer, tie, wide cuffs). The tie can be changed up. I really liked the juxtaposition of casual jeans and dressy blouse. To keep warm and not too revealing l layer with a thin wool/silk tank and I can adjust the underlayer with short or long sleeve thermals, or a lighter tank in warmer weather. It goes right into my MOTG style and amps up my casual dressing. The fabric is viscose and easy to launder. Danish brand: Rodebjer</p> <p>#1: sheer maximal blouse, jeans, my happy wool coat (Marimekko), frosty green wool scarf. Black shoes with thermal lining (3-4 years old) For casual day at work.</p> <p>#3: oversized vintage toffee coat with drawstring and brown corduroy details. Wonderful warm shearling lining. My mum wore this coat in the 1960-70's, so it has sentimental value. Red/green/white plaid wool scarf. For a quick doctor's appointment (just a minor thing) with DS3.</p> <p>Thanks for looking. All comnents and tweaks are welcome. </p> <p>Wish you all a wonderful day. </p>
