Great advice to pass&nbsp;pieces on to make room for new loves. I will try the dress with a shorter topper next time.</p> <p>Thank you, Shevia, Alana and Aubergine! You all are so kind.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-of-a-sudden#post-1357999 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 04:17:10 +0000 Anonymous 1357999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the dress in #1 on you so much! You look great in #4 too. It looks like you'd be right at home on a fancy&nbsp;yacht in that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-of-a-sudden#post-1357961 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 03:31:46 +0000 Alana in Canada 1357961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2 and #4! You do preppy quite well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-of-a-sudden#post-1357953 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 03:26:19 +0000 Jaime 1357953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You give preppy a good name! (Not that it had a bad one necessarily.) The last outfit looks great and I think the shorts are worth saving. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-of-a-sudden#post-1357951 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 03:22:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1357951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are such fun outfits. You look great in your dresses and shorts--glad you are getting to enjoy the bare-legs look a little bit more. I had the same reaction as Diane to the jacket and dress. The jacket seems to overwhelm the dress, in my view. So maybe try a shorter or less substantial topper, like a shrug? The dress length is fine--I like your idea of wearing it with flats. <br />Good save on the shirt and shorts in the last outfit. I'm not sure 2 wrongs make a right, as in keeping the items around, but this outfit works nicely. If you aren't really enjoying the pieces, though, you might pass them on after the season has really ended, so you can make room for new favorites next year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-of-a-sudden#post-1357925 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 02:53:58 +0000 Zibbets 1357925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Diane! I'm not sure about the jacket either. Maybe an outfit lab of sorts is in order so I can figure out how to wear it better.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suz, I'm a proud member of Team Prep. Plaid, pearls and patent leather all make my heart go pitter pat. Thank you for the kind words! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-of-a-sudden#post-1357607 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 17:53:36 +0000 Suz 1357607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, are you by any chance a member of Team Prep? Love the madras plaid.&nbsp;</p> <p>I especially like outfits 2 and 4! The sweater is lovely on you. I hear you on the complementary prints. Sometimes that doesn't show too much in photos when they are light. It's fun in real life, though.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-of-a-sudden#post-1357544 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 16:30:48 +0000 Anonymous 1357544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits certainly show how your weather changed. Summer dress to jeans and boots! You look great! I'm not quite so sure about the proportions in #3.&nbsp;Maybe its the boxiness of the jacket, I don't really know,&nbsp;but #4 works really well so the shirt was a good save. And in #2 your legs look a mile long! I love the rich leather boots and white jeans in #2 also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fall-of-a-sudden#post-1357521 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 16:04:21 +0000 Zibbets 1357521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where I live, we went from temperatures in the triple digits one Friday to highs in the 60s and&nbsp;low 70s a week later. This time of year, the weather&nbsp;is often a little schizophrenic, so I was happy to keep wearing white after Labor Day and try out some other new combinations.</p> <p>Thanks for looking! I welcome your suggestions and critique.</p> <p>1. Hot weather, hot date with DH. I'm always tempted to ditch the goofy little belt that came with this dress, but DH likes it and I haven't come up with a better option.</p> <p>2.&nbsp;I jumped at the excuse to pull out my favorite Aigner boots to go watch a parade on Saturday morning. I don't know if you can see the pattern mixing, but the shirt has a subtle black/cognac stripe that clicks just right with the colors of the Loft sweater.</p> <p>3. This JCrew jacket hasn't been out to play&nbsp;nearly often enough. The 3/4 sleeve is challenging to me.&nbsp;I like it with this sleeveless dress from The Limited. I think a heel would have been better, but this dress feels short when I put it on and I reach for flats to keep it closer to the ground.&nbsp;</p> <p>4. This checked, sleeveless shirt was in&nbsp;the giveaway bag because it's way too big, but layered under this cotton tee, it lived to see another day. Khaki shorts are also on my un-favorites list, but this outfit felt pretty cute. DO two wrongs sometimes make a right?&nbsp; </p>
