I remember <b>DonnaF</b> talking about the inserts. Do you know what those inserts look like?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring/page/2#post-2257427 Thu, 31 Mar 2022 18:41:59 +0000 Jonesy 2257427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, <b>Stagiaire Fash!</b> </p> <p><b>Angie, </b>those are very beautiful clogs! The shape and color are lovely, and the brass rivets are awesome. They would form such a perfect complement with your bag! My fingers are crossed that they work out for you. I know the fit of clogs is everything--have you seen DonnaF mention that she sometimes uses inserts underneath the top part of the clog (I'm not describing it well, but it's where the clog hits the top of your foot) to fill the gap between the clog and her foot? This is such a great solution if you have low volume feet and the clog fits too roomily. You want the clogs to fit snugly on your foot, but not tight (or you will get rubbing, especially in warm, humid weather) and not too loose (or they won't stay on your feet and you will find yourself trying to scrunch your toes to keep them on, which is unpleasant and hard to do).</p> <p>You might know all of this already, but I thought I would share my two cents :). Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring/page/2#post-2257325 Wed, 30 Mar 2022 18:51:06 +0000 Angie 2257325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jonesy,</b>&nbsp;thank you, and right back at you! </p> <p>Since you're YLF's Queen Clog, I have to share that I'm still on the hunt for narrow low heeled clogs that stay on my feet. I am determined! I've just ordered these and hope they work. Cute with my bag:&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring/page/2#post-2257260 Wed, 30 Mar 2022 09:47:40 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2257260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How did I not comment on this when I first saw it? In 1 you look like a bona fida rock star. Your coats collection is very cool—love the b/w pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring/page/2#post-2257181 Tue, 29 Mar 2022 19:10:52 +0000 Jonesy 2257181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought this thread was dead, and got preoccupied with work at the beginning of this week.</p> <p>Thank you so much, <b>Sally,</b> <b>Style Fan,</b> and <b>Sal,</b> for chiming in! I appreciate the nice hair feedback--I will remember it when my hair is misbehaving and being a pain :). Yes, Sally, I love cropped pants paired with boots, as a tall person, because it's just so much easier for me than trying to negotiate the proper pants length and footwear conundrum with full-length pants, which never seem to be quite the right length on me. Glad you feel inspired! Thanks for the positive comments about the olive coat, Style Fan and Sal--it's a little more subdued, but still holds its own, lol.</p> <p><b>Angie,</b> thanks for chiming in again--your positivity is a soothing balm in these trying times :)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring/page/2#post-2256916 Sun, 27 Mar 2022 20:30:09 +0000 Sal 2256916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing these outfits - they are awesome.&nbsp; And you have my dream hair....</p> <p>I love 3 5 7!!&nbsp; Just stunning.&nbsp; And I agree with Helena that simple outfits can provide great pleasure when they are perfect.</p> <p>You definitely suit the oversized and bold jacket and coat - but I also love the olive more classic fit on you.&nbsp; Inspirational as I head into the cooler season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring/page/2#post-2256911 Sun, 27 Mar 2022 20:09:19 +0000 Style Fan 2256911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous hair!&nbsp; I love your style.&nbsp; I am drooling over your olive coat.&nbsp; So gorgeous.&nbsp; The Docs are fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring/page/2#post-2256909 Sun, 27 Mar 2022 19:59:49 +0000 Angie 2256909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe we'll see you in a red pattern, <b>Jonesy</b> :)</p> <p>And look! Andy MacDowell copied your hair at the Oscars pre-dinner last night. Of course, yours look even better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring/page/2#post-2256609 Sat, 26 Mar 2022 01:30:40 +0000 Sally 2256609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all.&nbsp; I especially like the first skirt ...it is really lovely.&nbsp; As someone said, you have great boots.&nbsp; I think I will need to get doc boots as my next investment after seeing these.&nbsp; Your outfits also show the versatility that a great boot can make and they look fabulous with the cropped pants.&nbsp; Great inspiration post for my southern hemisphere autumn/winter. Oh and yes I have hair envy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring/page/2#post-2256598 Sat, 26 Mar 2022 00:54:06 +0000 Jonesy 2256598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sharan</b> and <b>lyn67</b>, thanks for your lovely comments! Carole King is a new one for me, but she does have gorgeous curls so I will happily embrace the comparison :).</p> <p><b>Zaeobi</b>, yes, Team Shampooing Once a Week for the win! Curly hair can be very bossy and fussy, so it's important not to stress it out too much, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring/page/2#post-2256319 Thu, 24 Mar 2022 17:05:51 +0000 Zaeobi 2256319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your oversized coats work great on you - they look intentional, don't worry! I look more like '3 kids in a trench-coat' if I attempt that </p> <p>And high five to a fellow, once-a-week curlyhead (though I sometimes have to up it to twice a week if it's summer &amp;/ or I've been working out a lot, lol...) - your curls look so healthy :D<br /> DH thought it was weird when I first told him how infrequently I wash my hair (his is typical Chinese hair - as straight as they come!). But then he saw the number of products needed to nourish curly hair, &amp; now he understands why that shouldn't be a daily regimen, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring#post-2256300 Thu, 24 Mar 2022 14:14:39 +0000 lyn67 2256300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some of the&nbsp; same outfits as yours here so obviously they are LOVEs but then I'm&nbsp; especially&nbsp; inspired by nr 6!!! Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring#post-2256250 Thu, 24 Mar 2022 03:01:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2256250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style. Every outfit is a Wow for me. You wear these bold pieces so well! That vest with the huge red cable in 6 is the best, and I like how it looks with the stunning coat. #1 may be out of your comfort zone, but you are rocking it. The matching boots and coat are terrific. With your hair and sunnies, you remind me of a young Carole King. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring#post-2256222 Wed, 23 Mar 2022 20:52:26 +0000 Jonesy 2256222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I see what you mean, <b>Angie</b>!

Some items are more photogenic than others. That said, makes me think that bright red accents are not out of place in your moody palette </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring#post-2256214 Wed, 23 Mar 2022 20:40:33 +0000 Jonesy 2256214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, <b>Joy, Brooklyn, Sarah</b> (great to see you--it's been too long! hope your spring semester is treating you right!), <b>Rejoiceandbe,</b> and <b>suntiger!</b> I'm glad I took up Katarina's challenge and showed some outerwear :).

And the individual pieces are amazing - coats, vest, etc. Looking fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring#post-2256004 Tue, 22 Mar 2022 10:47:27 +0000 Brooklyn 2256004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style.

I really appreciate a lively, patterned coat in the depths of winter! My one puffer is red and blue plaid, so I fully endorse you finding a checked coat to carry on the tradition of your 90s one! The boots are Docs, both with a 2-inch heel paired with a 1-inch platform. The butterscotch pair are Leonas, the oxblood pair are Shrivers. The only difference is the Leonas have jazzier eyelet holes (not sure that's the proper terminology, but you get my drift). They are quite heavy, but I find them really comfortable. Both are no longer available in these colors, but are currently offered in black and brown.</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Helena</b>! You make a great point and I think you've hit the nail on the head :). That outfit did feel really comfy, and there are certain details that aren't visible in the pic, but that made me enjoy it. You are right that a single static picture can't really capture everything, and sometimes the more subdued outfits don't translate as well as the bolder looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring#post-2255895 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 19:16:08 +0000 Helena 2255895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fab!</p> <p>How did you FEEL in 8 Jonesy? Because for myself I've noticed that sometimes an outfit will feel great because it's simple and easy and looks polished but understated ... which doesn't always make for the most exciting photograph but most certainly makes for a great outfit irl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring#post-2255880 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 18:19:18 +0000 Suz 2255880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, that sweater vest in #6 is out of this world fantastic! The colours, the textures, the way it works with the shirt and the (amazing) coat! Whew!&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, speaking of coats, you have a fantastic collection of them. I love every single one. I especially love that you have some coats with patterns on them. I think a patterned coat is a statement item that would really make me happy. Note to self. I used to own a great checked coat in the 90s but I don't think I've had one since.&nbsp;</p> <p>The skirt in 1/2 is gorgeous on you. Love the boots, too! What are they? Are they comfy? Are they the same type as in the next outfit (but different colour?)&nbsp;</p> <p>In addition to having a great coat collection, you also have a great pant collection. Your pants tend to fit with beautiful ease and drape. I love that.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring#post-2255861 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 16:46:08 +0000 Jonesy 2255861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Chewy, Nikki, Merwoman, Slim cat, </b>and<b> RobinF,</b> thanks for the outerwear love! I have finally embraced having several coats, given that winter here lasts many months.</p> <p><b>Rachylou</b> and <b>Sloper,</b> thanks for the skirt love. There was that fun swoosh factor that Angie is always talking about!</p> <p>Thank you, <b>Bonnie, Carla, </b>and <b>Star, </b>for the nice feedback. It has been fun to be back in-person for work, with a chance to dress up a bit.</p> <p><b>Lana,</b> yes, cropped pants and boots are a real mainstay for me--so comfy, and I don't have to fuss so much with inseams :). I'm glad you are feeling right at home here at YLF--your posts have been fab!</p> <p><b>Angie,</b> thank you so much for your detailed feedback and support! The vest combo in #6 was my fave too--it's so funny how I see things in the mirror vs. in a pic. That vest looks okay in the mirror, but it's very photogenic, lol. And both of the oversized coats don't even look that large in the pics, which is wild. You are always so gracious in your comments, and it's much appreciated!</p> <p><b>Kellygirl,</b> thank you! In my experience, many professors tend to go for comfort and practicality quite a bit, so it's a pretty low bar! But I appreciate the compliment :).&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jaime,</b> thanks so much for your detailed feedback! I feel like our styles have some overlap and I admire your thrifting skills so much, so I appreciate your eye.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bijou, </b>thank you for the love for the big, bold coat in #3! I felt slightly conspicuous the first time I wore it, but then I settled in and now love to wear it. Boots are the best, aren't they? But I can see how they would be a bit much in your climate year round :).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring#post-2255847 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 15:23:46 +0000 Star (Lise) 2255847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your look Jonesy!&nbsp; Cannot pick a favorite, all so good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fw-recap-heading-for-spring#post-2255825 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 12:55:08 +0000 RobinF 2255825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these!
