Hang in there and sending positive energy!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371496 Sat, 05 Oct 2024 17:22:19 +0000 Ket 2371496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the commiseration on the tourism. I didn't share it to make a splash or be unduly negative; it was just one of the roughest weeks I've had in a long, long time. Enough to disrupt even wanting to wear a dress. I've been exhausted the last two days, and haven't gotten out my sweats yet. We have lived in highly desirable tourist locations now for 20+ years, so we are accustomed to high season. However, everyone says this is the worst they've ever seen it.</p> <p><b>SW Ann</b>, oh, I feel your pain! And I've had the exact some thought myself, hehe :} Living in tourist areas for so long has made me hypersensitive when being a tourist somewhere myself. I promise I'm not out to get all the tourists. But this past week was something else. You are always welcome to visit &lt;3 </p> <p><b>Cat2</b>, I love people enjoying nature--and I hope you enjoy some beautiful leaf peeping!!! &lt;3 I only shared because it really did affect our lives this week. Law enforcement and emergency services were telling people it would be 2+ hours before they could reach anyone in an emergency. Conditions became dangerous. &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371494 Sat, 05 Oct 2024 17:12:48 +0000 Ket 2371494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all!! Your comments make my morning!! I will definitely be taking this outfit for another spin soon Maybe next week, for co-op. A bit overdone as all the other moms are usually in very casual clothes. However, I'm just typically never super casual, as we know. :} I really enjoyed mixing the prints too!! It felt kind of bold to mix them. With the print size fairly similar, it felt like it was pretty cohesive.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><b>Brooklyn</b>, OOOHH! I love Sophia Loren! Thank you for such a delightful compliment &lt;3&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jenny H,</b> YES! I was so pleased to find such a price friendly line with such great lines and colors! So thank you for sharing in the joy of that with me :D&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Jenni</b>, the print on this was a surprise for me! I usually don't wear pinks well, but these were warm enough to just work. Thank you for the lovely compliment on my lipstick. It's a shade I tend to wear in colder weather, and I'm happy to finally be wearing it again. &nbsp;And yes, to what <b>Liz</b> shared about leaf peeping. Hope that explains better what I mean. :)&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371465 Sat, 05 Oct 2024 13:11:20 +0000 Liz 2371465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, leap peeping is simply short-hand for "driving to go see the trees in a location where the fall colors are incredibly beautiful." Fall colors really are glorious, especially in heavily treed areas where the trees turn all shades of yellow, orange, and red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371451 Sat, 05 Oct 2024 01:27:10 +0000 SW Ann 2371451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and your&nbsp; outfit are&nbsp; drop dead gorgeous.&nbsp; Commiserating about the leaf peepers. I live in Snowbird Central Arizona, and the thing that runs through all of our minds when tourists sometimes act "that way" --"Is that how you act while you are at home??" It must be quite beautiful where you live, and I promise if I ever visit, I will be respectful.&nbsp; Just like I am at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371440 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 20:10:22 +0000 Jenni NZ 2371440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What on earth is leaf peeping?!<br /> Love your outfit Ket, I am especially enamoured of the pink floral dress and of course your lipstick (as usual). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371434 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 18:44:57 +0000 Jenny H 2371434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, it sounds like the tourist impact is terrible. I hope you get some relief ASAP.</p> <p>But your outfit is so stinking cute! I love it with every fiber of my being! And how amazing that the coat is from a price-friendly Walmart line. Great job leaving no retail stone unturned, it's truly a lovely piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371431 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 17:04:13 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2371431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dynamite outfit, Ket! You look glamorous in that pairing of floral and leopard. It's too bad your plans were canceled, as it sounds like you are ready for a fun outing! The tourist situation sounds abominable. Hope your life is back to normal soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371426 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 12:44:07 +0000 cat2 2371426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear, I am heading out to leaf peep…. We have a place in a small town and I know the merchants welcome the peepers; they pay the bills in what would otherwise be a shoulder season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371425 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 12:44:01 +0000 RobinF 2371425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous pattern mixing! I also revert to my comfy clothes at home though.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sorry about the nasty tourists and bad traffic is the worst.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371414 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 00:51:57 +0000 Jaime 2371414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! The leopard trench was made for you, and the dress is great also. But how disgusting of the out of towners to behave that way. Sorry and I hope the season is almost over for your sake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371412 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 00:40:49 +0000 Dee 2371412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning combo, love the bombshell vibe of photo#5, at least this fab outfit made it out of the house if only to the grocery store. &nbsp;Such a shame when tourists can’t respect the environment when visiting. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371409 Thu, 03 Oct 2024 23:38:12 +0000 Brooklyn 2371409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! The dress is fabulous on you and I love the pattern mix. Very Sophia Loren in no 5!</p> <p>Sorry you are having a stressful time. I hope you get another opportunity to wear the outfit soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371400 Thu, 03 Oct 2024 20:21:35 +0000 Lisa 2371400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress and leopard trench are both fabulous pieces, certainly on their own, but paired together, it's a (to steal Angie's phrase) killer look! The prints and colors are sooooo good on you!</p> <p>Having lived/worked in the NJ/NYC area for many years, I can sympathize with your tourist issues.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371382 Thu, 03 Oct 2024 16:50:51 +0000 Roberta 2371382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it's a great outfit, and I'm sorry that a mob ruined your day and week. Badly behaved tourists are THE WORST. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-leopard-and-floral-for-15-min#post-2371381 Thu, 03 Oct 2024 16:35:02 +0000 Ket 2371381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually got dressed in an outfit today. It only lasted 15 minutes, as plans were cancelled by the other party due to a sick kiddo. At least it gave me the chance to briefly test drive my new dress and coat. Made it to the local grocery store for a quick errand before realizing I had missed the text to cancel/reschedule plans. So, I bought my apples and tootled home. &nbsp;Got home and changed into sweats. It's been a very negative, difficult week and wearing a dress all day just didn't appeal to me. I will spare you a long story but the summary is, I have spent the last 5 days commuting 2.5 hours for a usual 20 min drive, wading through thousands of tourists blocking the roads with illegal parking and walking in the roads, and the actual streets overflowing with human sewage and doggie bags tossed everywhere, I have come to abhor the big city leaf peeping tourists. I'm so tired of it I came home Monday after another painful commute, leaned my head on my husband, and cried for 5 solid minutes.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, onto happier things.&nbsp;</p> <p>The dress is new. I adore the print and colors. It's very nice quality. Medium weight rayon fabric. Only thing missing is pockets, sadly. But otherwise, it's lovely. This is my 5th puff or flutter sleeve dress, and I'm starting to feel satiated by the feminine romantic sleeve detail and romantic, slight cottage-core vibe. I feel ready to move onto some shirt dresses or pencil skirts. &nbsp;Nonetheless, I enjoy this dress immensely and I'm sure it will get wear time this autumn and winter.&nbsp;</p> <p>Leopard trench coat is brand new, as of this week. I have been wanting and missing leopard in my life ever since my beloved silk leopard scarf bit the dust.&nbsp;Imagine my shock and surprise when this leopard trench coat popped up on my screen. And for $20 on clearance! My mom budget squealed with delight!<div><br /></div><div>The coat is very nice quality. It's lined with medium-weight satin fabric. The coat fabric itself is some kind of gently texturized waterproof material. Reminds me of those waterproof jackets from the early 2000s, where the exterior fabric was heavyweight, slightly satin with texture finish and the jacket was almost always belted. They were very popular. (Anyone remember them?)&nbsp;<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I have come to really love Sofia's Walmart line. While it's a lot of polyester fabrics, I find the quality of sewing and details to be quite good. The line is also nicely cut and designed for those figure 8 and hourglass shapes. Very flattering pieces. I'm not sure who is designing things for her, but they're doing a great job.</p> <p></div><div>Outfit:&nbsp;<div>Dress: Maurices</div><div>Trench coat: Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergaras for Walmart&nbsp;<br />Sandals: Sofft pewter gladiators (already had kicked them off before I took photos, sorry!)</div><div>Lipstick: Revlon Raisin Rage</p> <p></div><div><div><div></p> <p></div></div><div><br /></div><br /></div></div> </p>
