You're like a ray of sunshine! In #1 the minty tone of the gingham really suits you and I love how the dark rims of your glasses echo the dark tone in your scarf. As others have said too, I'm not fond of the vest in #2 either I'm afraid. Love #3, fab vest and dress. #4 is so fresh and I like the print on your&nbsp;layered top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502588 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 15:48:54 +0000 Missey 1502588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the mint green gingham top on you!&nbsp; It is perfect for your colouring!&nbsp; Great summer capsule!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502535 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 13:37:14 +0000 jackiec 1502535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry about your migraines.</p> <p>I had to chime in to say how much I LOVE the Trina Turk top on you! It is perfect for you! Wow. Your entire palette suits you so well. I follow you with interest as I remember you had your colours done last year and made some significant changes. They are working </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502530 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 13:23:35 +0000 Staysfit 1502530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The navy vest loses! No problem there. I was experimenting and it definitely didn't work with this top. </p> <p>CocoLion, I'm sorry to hear that you actually lost a job secondary to your migraines. They are very disabling at times. I have left one position on my own because I felt my ability to be consistently available was too compromised for what the job required. It's not an issue with my current work, but I often worry that my employers will become frustrated about my migraines because they are so incapacitating, and I have been hospitalized and missed as much as a month of work at a time. So far, I have very understanding administrators. It may help that I'm in a profession in short supply. :-). </p> <p>Karie, I also like the dress in 3 better without the topper but was a little worried it would look unprofessional, maybe a bit too slinky? So I added the topper. Maybe I'm wrong on that? Not sure? (I was working with adolescent boys that day). </p> <p>Thanks for the migraine sympathy everyone! I'm sorry to hear so many people also have them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502505 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 11:23:54 +0000 Karin L H 1502505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get migraines too, so I feel for you. Hope it gets better! </p> <p>LOVE your outfits. Those pastel colours look so summery and great on you! Not too sure about the black vest, I think it looks better without... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502454 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 04:03:20 +0000 Karie 1502454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry to hear about your migraines. I suffer from them too. I prefer #1/#2 without the vest, and #3 without the topper. #4 is gorgeous, I love the color of the skirt.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502447 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 03:35:43 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1502447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits! I think that these are so wonderful! I am another vote for the first outfit without the vest for all of the reasons others mentioned, but I really admire your desire to try things out. That is the only way to see what works. Awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502406 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 00:36:24 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1502406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful colors and looks for you, but agreeing on the dark vest not being quite the thing. I hope those migraines can be brought to heel soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502378 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 21:43:51 +0000 kkards 1502378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the continuity of the color story here. As others have said, I perfer #1 without the vest, let the mint color be the star, and for thst reason, I'd think I'd prefer it without the scarf as well ( but then again, I'm pretty minimalist, so take thst comment with a grain of salt)</p> <p>Sorry about your migraines, hope your feeling better soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502360 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 20:28:50 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1502360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great set of outfits! You look gorgeous in each one. These colors are so fresh. I also prefer outfit 1 without the vest, but I do think it looks harmonious, as it picks up the dark tone in the scarf. I love the pattern-mixing of the scarf and gingham. I have to gush about that Trina Turk top on you, though. Wow, what a gorgeous print and style, so flattering on you! <br />So sorry to hear about your migraine. I have them, too. No fun (serious understatement, I know). My acupuncturist has recently started treating me for them. I think it may be working. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502334 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 19:39:24 +0000 donnat 1502334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once again, lovely outfits! No you don't look like a super hero lol, but a lighter color would work better. The last two outfits are knock outs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502297 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 18:11:15 +0000 CocoLion 1502297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have terrible migraines in my early to mid 40s. &nbsp;I actually lost a job because I was out for 2 weeks. &nbsp;My heart goes out to you.</p> <p>I like all of these! &nbsp;I prefer outfit 1 without the long vest, I feel the vest requires a simpler top underneath it, for example a top made out of similar drape-y fabric without a pattern.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502295 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 18:09:39 +0000 Staysfit 1502295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Peri, I kept the scarf. It's beautiful! Even nicer because it's on sale and I was able to get the discount. :-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502289 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 17:23:13 +0000 Peri 1502289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for a lighter color vest...or no vest. The outfit looks better without it!&nbsp;</p> <p>Sorry about the migraines. My DH gets those, so many triggers.</p> <p>I'm curious as to whether you kept this scarf? The colors are so beautiful I've been tempted.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502288 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 17:14:14 +0000 kellygirl 1502288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fabulous outfits! You look so pretty in these lighter colors. I think a lower contrast vest in 2 would be better. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502258 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 16:02:02 +0000 Tanya 1502258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits, all of them.&nbsp; You have really hit your strides, especially with the colors.&nbsp; I would also go for a lighter vest in #2.&nbsp; Hope you are feeling better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502256 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 16:00:07 +0000 Kristin L 1502256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how summery each outfit looks. I don't think that your vest looks like a cape, but I wonder if it might be a bit too dark with your lighter colored pants and top.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I'm sorry to hear about your migraines! I hope you can find some relief.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-gingham-and-exploded-gingham#post-1502232 Sat, 06 Jun 2015 15:06:26 +0000 Staysfit 1502232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only worked three days this week. &nbsp;Migraines again - yuck! &nbsp;In any case, I am enjoying my S/S wardrobe, and finding that I have so many great ways to create outfits. &nbsp;No need for more shopping so my No Shop June is going well - so far.</p> <p>1. J Crew Gingham Boy shirt, J Crew Matchstick Jeans, Ann Taylor scarf, Via Spiga perforated leather sneakers</p> <p>2. &nbsp;I added my Bobeau sleeveless vest. &nbsp;Not sure about this? &nbsp;Does it look too much like a superhero cape?</p> <p>3. &nbsp;Vince Camuto dress, 1 State sleeveless jacket, Chie Mahare shoes</p> <p>4. &nbsp;Trina Turk exploded ginham silk top, J Crew No. 2 pencil skirt, EF linen topper, Fly London Yesk sandals </p>
