Other than that, perhaps something with a collar you can stand up a bit like you recently&nbsp;did with the brown dress? But I think any woven blouse could work: I'm not sure what the blouse section of your closet looks like! Sorry I can't be more specific: I'll try to find some pics later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1268628 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:59:19 +0000 Alassë 1268628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspiring as ever, E - I would love to do&nbsp;that look. What sort of blouse do you visualize? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1268601 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 22:40:46 +0000 E 1268601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a similar thought re: summer dressing last week (Hey! This isn't so bad! Oh wait...this is only the beginning...), I say we should enjoy the novelty factor while it's still there. :)</p> <p>I really love your skirt and dress looks this week, like everyone else! I'm wondering too if you ever wear blouses with your shorts? You still look good in the shorts and tee/tank looks, but since you have such a midcentury elegance to you,&nbsp;I keep picturing classic movie stars in their cute little short &amp; tied shirt&nbsp;outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1268088 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 12:39:29 +0000 Alassë 1268088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gigi, thank you! I was very happy to finally find a flattering "pink."<br />Thanks for commenting, Una! I always treasure your insights. Summer is the season I first began dressing better, so it feels like my style home (and we get so much of it). I guess I take my waist for granted being so used to my body type; thank you!<br />Thank you, TraceyLiz!<br />Firecracker, what a lovely thing to say! That sort of classic, feminine elegance has long been an aspiration, but I never expected to reach it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267942 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 05:11:46 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1267942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits are lovely on you! I agree, your dresses and skirts really flatter you, and the shorts outfits have a little bit of retro ladylike tomboy about them. Grace Kelly comes to mind. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267910 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 04:13:22 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1267910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 the skirt pattern and silhouette are great for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267906 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 03:58:03 +0000 catgirl 1267906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going to go with 2 and 4 as my faves because YOUR TINY WAIST!&nbsp; I would love to look like that in anything.&nbsp; Just lovely summer looks - I was wondering how your colors and style would translate, and they translate perfectly to warm weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267889 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 03:39:35 +0000 Gigi 1267889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits all around. My faves are 2 and 4. They show off your tiny waist. And I love the color of the top in 2; it really suits your coloring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267675 Tue, 03 Jun 2014 00:06:52 +0000 Alassë 1267675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for clarifying, rachy. I agree with you.</p> <p>Thanks, caro! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267593 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 23:04:30 +0000 Caro in Oz 1267593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #2. The fit &amp; colours look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267556 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 22:39:36 +0000 rachylou 1267556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like where the belts sit in #2 and #5. The visual balance feels right to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267446 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 19:55:29 +0000 Alassë 1267446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like how, rachy? #4 and #5 didn't have enough belt holes to be worn at my natural waist, so I would have preferred those higher. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267394 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 18:19:18 +0000 rachylou 1267394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it best when you wear your belts high... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267311 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 16:24:35 +0000 Alassë 1267311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, Suz! Both for taking the time to comment and for your insights on outfits. I definitely aim for retro without having to own vintage dresses, and I've always loved shorts (despite not liking trousers much). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267302 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 15:55:16 +0000 Suz 1267302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at your tiny waist in #2! It's a lovely, fresh, slightly retro look -- I think of 50s movie stars in Rome!&nbsp;</p> <p>I really like #1 also. Then, #5 looks like a 30s outfit. These slightly retro looks are your signature, I think. Along with dresses and skirts. But you also wear the shorts very well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267225 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:49:26 +0000 Alassë 1267225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, NDMom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267216 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:39:44 +0000 NDMom 1267216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are soooo pretty and ladylike. &nbsp;I love how your outfits reflect that. &nbsp;I especially love #1 and #2! &nbsp;Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-week-16#post-1267212 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 13:37:48 +0000 Alassë 1267212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More warm weather dressing - so far I'm enjoying it, probably because we're only 1 month into 5 months of summer.&nbsp;(Sorry about #5 - bad lighting drained the colour.) <br />Your comments &amp; suggestions are always appreciated! Thanks. </p>
