My specs are new. The brand is Jimmy Choo. Pricier than I would have liked, but my daughters insisted the #2 choice was nowhere near as good as these, so I had to cough up the extra!</p> <p>Thank you, <b>Joy</b>. That was my idea, too, about the black accessories.</p> <p><b>Bijou</b> and <b>BarbVonF</b>, I'm so glad the outfit made you happy. It made me happy, too!</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Sal</b>, and you are so right. No one is as hard on us as we are on ourselves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018877 Tue, 09 Apr 2019 20:29:14 +0000 Sal 2018877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great here - happy, stylish and very spring like.</p> <p>We are our own worst critics!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018863 Tue, 09 Apr 2019 19:59:05 +0000 BarbVonF 2018863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colors!

I too cringe a bit at selfies "like what am I thinking..." so you are not alone on that one. However, real women wearing real clothes is what it is about - you look awesome and have absolutely nothing to worry about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018700 Tue, 09 Apr 2019 04:05:14 +0000 Anonymous 2018700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very cute and ready for spring. I like the black shoes with the black belt to keep it from being totally spring </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018690 Tue, 09 Apr 2019 02:31:24 +0000 Carla 2018690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fresh and ready for spring, Becky!

I really like the shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018681 Tue, 09 Apr 2019 01:08:32 +0000 Becky 2018681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>torontogirl</b> and <b>anne</b>, for your kind words! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018501 Mon, 08 Apr 2019 00:59:51 +0000 anne 2018501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its' a lovely outfit Becky, and I can't think of any improvements! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018483 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 20:35:53 +0000 Helena 2018483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely spring look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018477 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 20:17:22 +0000 Becky 2018477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good ideas for alternative shoe/belt colors, <b>suntiger</b>.

Agreeing with the lighter shoe-belt idea though. Metallic, grey, taupe, cognac, or even burgundy would be nice too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018404 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 13:47:14 +0000 Becky 2018404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, <b>taylor</b>, for your compliments. A compliment on my hair from a stylist is high praise indeed! The watch is one of my favorite accessories - it's was an anniversary gift from my husband (though I picked it out!) a couple of years ago.</p> <p><b>Kathie</b>, I'm glad you support the graphic look also. I was hoping to have a couple of slightly different looks from the same top/jeans combo.</p> <p><b>Mainelady</b>, you are right, of course. I WOULD think it looks fab on anyone else. And I wouldn't be worried about how her figure looked. :-)</p> <p><b>Jane</b>, thanks for the kind words. It helps to know I'm not the only one who winces sometimes at the sight of a photo of myself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018384 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 11:08:03 +0000 Jane 2018384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit. I love your hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ahh, yes, I am nodding with you on the photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018376 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 10:46:45 +0000 Mainelady 2018376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! Yes, you might be a bit too critical of yourself. If you saw this outfit on someone else, wouldn’t you think it looks fab? Your haircut and bright smile complete this beautiful spring look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018355 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 02:30:53 +0000 Kathie 2018355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest trying lighter shoes and belt, and see that shevia beat me to it. The black is graphic, and great, so it’s more a suggestion if you want to change it up a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018353 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 02:13:41 +0000 taylor 2018353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awe, you look absolutely fabulous ! Love the hair !<br /> I really love the blouse with the white denim ...great watch/ accessory:)<br /> I like shevia’s suggestion of lighter shoes ....carry on with your FAB self ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018352 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 01:52:36 +0000 Becky 2018352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the validation, <b>Jenni</b>. I'm glad I'm not the only one! :-)</p> <p><b>Kellygirl</b>, thank you for the kind words. I am astonished at how often I want to reach for my white jeans.</p> <p>Thanks, <b>JAileen</b>. I'm glad to have some spring weather to celebrate!</p> <p>Thank you for the compliments, <b>shevia</b>. I initially reached for my favorite platinum bookend-my-hair flats, but decided to try for a graphic look with the black belt and black flats. Too harsh a contrast, then? I think I need to get a platinum-ish belt to coordinate with the flats. The only metallic belt I have is silver, and the finish has worn off so much it's not really even wearable anymore. Guess I've found a wardrobe hole! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018346 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 01:31:15 +0000 Jaime 2018346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! Beautiful smile, great hair, the top looks excellent on you and, my only suggestion, is try white or pink or light shoes to bookend your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018344 Sun, 07 Apr 2019 01:25:01 +0000 JAileen 2018344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so cute! Very spring-y. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018307 Sat, 06 Apr 2019 21:23:26 +0000 kellygirl 2018307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg, so spring like and you are just as cute as ever. I love this! Makes me want to go find some white jeans STAT!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018305 Sat, 06 Apr 2019 21:06:10 +0000 Jenni NZ 2018305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks happy! Yes desensitising is the way to go, I’ve got used to seeing my short plump self!<br /> Love your pink and white together </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-lightening-up-for-spring#post-2018299 Sat, 06 Apr 2019 20:33:00 +0000 Becky 2018299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today is beautiful spring day -- 74F and no wind (a rarity for us), and I enjoyed bringing out an outfit that feels like spring. I'd worn the white jeans with a heavier sweater on a cooler day, and the top with black bottoms, but they're quite nice paired together, I think.</p> <p>Top - Loft (Fall 2018)<br />Jeans - Ann Taylor (thrifted)<br />Shoes - SoftWalk (Fall 2018)</p> <p>I've determined that (for me, at least) looking at photos of myself is analogous to listening to a sound recording of my own voice. It never looks (sounds) quite like I think it does because I'm not objective. Guess that's just something I have to desensitize myself to! :-)</p> <p>Constructive criticism welcome! I look forward to hearing your thoughts. </p>
