Very chic and stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style/page/2#post-1152273 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 18:58:05 +0000 Hil 1152273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Deb! I just love this... The juxtaposition of edge and distressed and drape with the classic combo of denim and black.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's been really hot here too (not Ozzie hot, but almost!) and I can tell you I know how you feel!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style/page/2#post-1151634 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 23:08:35 +0000 Caro in Oz 1151634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice &amp; edgy Deborah doesn't look confused at all&nbsp;:) It's too hot here for my shorts &amp; shooties I'm living in my linen dresses </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style/page/2#post-1151537 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 21:05:52 +0000 Beth Ann 1151537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks very urban to me, Deborah, with bits of feminine in the drape of the top.&nbsp; Looks more NYC than Walmart in central Arkansas, although I do have a wears-like-iron drapey black top from Walmart!</p> <p>I've been off teaching this week, 2 days in a row, because the Univ. cancelled classes due to a -35F windchill.&nbsp; Shorts look dreamy to me at the moment, but I remember the trouble of dressing for heat, and I'll be just like you in........6 months (sob).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style/page/2#post-1151510 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 20:28:22 +0000 Greyscale 1151510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in the US, San Francisco. Mainstream stores here stick to very basic silhouettes. And the fast fashion stores are more focused on teenybopper looks than avant garde. Luckily there's a good Zara near me at least!</p> <p>I guess it's not so bad, and some of these looks do get to us eventually, but for instance I remember harem jeans were such a huge thing in Australia when I visited in 2010 and are only now maaaaybe reaching the mainstream in the&nbsp;US. They're not my favorite look, but it's indicative of some general trend I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1151506 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 20:24:23 +0000 shemarie 1151506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So gorgeous! I really look forward to your WIWs as you do "heat" style so fabulously and I'm furiously taking notes! My summer/warm season lasts about 8 or 9 months, so instead of buying more sweaters, jeans, and boots which I just can't rationalize, I'm saving for my predominant climate, which I still really struggle with.&nbsp; I have such a hard time being stylish or edgy with so few pieces, but you&nbsp;do it&nbsp;so&nbsp;well.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm learning it's&nbsp;all in the details, the fit, the drape, the hair, etc.&nbsp; You look fabulous! Thanks for your wonderful inspiration! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1151192 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 14:21:55 +0000 Lisa 1151192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great drapey top, you have a nice drapey top collection.&nbsp; All my tops are form fitting for the heat, I need to keep drape in mind next time I shop for warm weather wear.&nbsp; You look very cool in this. And the shorts are the perfect length for you too.&nbsp; Nice look here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1151184 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 14:11:43 +0000 Gracie 1151184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cool, inspiring mix. I wish we had a store like Katie's around here, I love the drapey pieces you got from them. I agree with Lantana that you could pull off more distressing in the shorts easily. Your sunnies and haircut are both fab too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1151164 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:37:24 +0000 Windchime 1151164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Deborah--I'm forever finding those exact peach colored Nerf gun pieces in surprise places around my house. You are a fun Mom! I love this shirt and booties with your shorts and am taking notes for when it finally warms up here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1151158 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 13:24:49 +0000 gryffin 1151158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah - still howing over your nerf gun picture!! You are the chicest nerf victim ever!! My son has the same guns but I run for cover when he's on a "mission!!" Love your outfits and the drapey tops. I second Suz, I am so crushing on your peeptoe sandal/booties!! I love that look and I've never been able to find a pair IRL that I like that fits. So I am really enjoying seeing yours!! Wishing you cool breezes and we'd be really happy to take some of that heat off your hands!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1151113 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 11:37:14 +0000 kkards 1151113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, you look great. love the drapey top and the longer shorts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1151111 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 11:32:51 +0000 Lantana 1151111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I think you look great too. In fact I think you could easily pull off more distressing in the denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1151048 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 06:06:15 +0000 Ginkgo 1151048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow again, you look fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1151031 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 04:59:43 +0000 carolbee 1151031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, love that top. Not sure how you manage to wear the booties in that heat, my feet would melt.</p> <p>For some reason I never look in my local Katies, although I did buy a dress from them when in Brissie last year. I'm tempted to look now, but since I said about a month ago that I do not need anymore summer tops and have bought four more already ..... (but they were bought with my travel capsule for Europe in June in mind, so do they count? -lol). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1151019 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 04:24:28 +0000 Anonymous 1151019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Lady, you look HOT, in the best way. All those Katie's are sensational pieces on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1151001 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 04:03:04 +0000 Sarah A 1151001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this Deborah! (and also wishing we had a Katies here in the US!, those are fantastic tops so modern and really bring the wow factor to hot weather dressing ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1151000 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 04:02:54 +0000 carter 1151000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heat wave dressing is hard, especially since I hit 48 or so a couple years ago. You look great. I love to see women dressed appropriately in shorts. I have several pair of walking shorts that i wear on vacation, but I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and make myself wear them around town this year if it's as hot as last year. Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1150995 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 03:58:21 +0000 Deborah 1150995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale why wouldn't they sell well were you are? &nbsp;Forgive me but I can't recall if you are in the US or for some reason I South Africa is &nbsp;in my head?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1150994 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 03:56:53 +0000 Deborah 1150994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are all so kind:) &nbsp;</p> <p>Lyn I don't read the Katies emails but we do have a store close to my office! &nbsp;I tend to scan their website every now and again but this top was an accident. &nbsp;I was in Melbourne last week so Master 10 could see one of is best mates and had a couple of free hours at Southland:)</p> <p>Claire I wondered where you were. &nbsp;I was only thinking about you last night. &nbsp;I made the assumption that you balance your time between YLF and other commitments better than I lol x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1150992 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 03:55:28 +0000 Greyscale 1150992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that top. Your outfits are definitely inspiring me to think more about my warm weather clothes. I just bought an asymmetric tee from Oak today, similar to some Complex Geometries styles, and thought of you.</p> <p>I think you're totally right, Suz - I've noticed that the Australian YLFers often have really fashion-forward pieces from less expensive stores. I'm envious. Those styles just wouldn't sell well over here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1150973 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 03:45:50 +0000 Anonymous 1150973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Land sakes woman! I go A.W.O.L. for a few weeks, come back, and you have a whole new 'do! It looks absolutely fabulous and I can't peel my eyes from you. *fanning* WOW. I love your new top and your edgy summer style, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1150916 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 03:12:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1150916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous Deborah.

I would wear this outfit in a heartbeat (maybe with lower heels). I love that a local brand is making these great tops, even if it means I can't order one as I would otherwise be tempted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1150894 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 02:57:30 +0000 Deborah 1150894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, if I could I would most certainly send the heat over to you. I am wilting. Just finished a Nerf War with Master 10 and I need a nana nap. The heat is excruciating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1150875 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 02:40:15 +0000 Lyn D. 1150875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Deborah!<br />I shamelessly copied your title because it is sooo hot again!<br />Without reading yours first I guessed you might be wearing a similar top to mine today- and you are :)<br />Mine is David Lawrence- I am finding that the only way I can curb my buying ATM is to try to only buy natural fabrics. They cost more but I am really aiming to keep my clothing numbers as they are so I actually wear everything.<br />So I am deleting the Katies emails- I know I will be sorely tempted by some of their affordable pieces if I don't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1150869 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 02:33:34 +0000 Angie 1150869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>I love this look on you, Debs. Please send over the heat wave.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-heatwave-style#post-1150858 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 02:21:24 +0000 annagybe 1150858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd try etsy for harem shorts.

It's super difficult to find these looks at a reasonable price point in Canada. I really love these tops, especially today's and the white one. They're a perfect summer look. It is what I would like, although sadly, I don't think I can wear the draping -- however, a top similar to the one you have today might be do-able.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for the leads!&nbsp; </p>
