Those sandal booties are phenomenal on you, and add instant style and edge to all of these outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime/page/2#post-629388 Sat, 26 May 2012 15:26:06 +0000 Jonesy 629388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much Sarah, Meredith, Reneeb, Scarlet, Tanya, and Denise! I appreciate your comments.</p> <p>Scarlet, you would look fab in loose stuff, I would bet! Post some pics, woman! I see what you are saying about the body of the dress....I am contemplating ordering a M just to see if it would still be loose, but not *so* loose...but I wonder about losing length (I like it right at the top of the knees like it is now).</p> <p>Denise, curious to see if you find anything on pixiemarket.com that you like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-629226 Sat, 26 May 2012 08:16:34 +0000 CocoLion 629226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In agreement with the loose and flowy thing for summer! I love all three looks, and think the dress in #3 is a no-brainer. I like it without a belt, maybe just a pendant to break up all of the black? </p> <p>Now, off to check out pixiemarket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-629194 Sat, 26 May 2012 05:13:57 +0000 Tanya 629194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning Jonesy! So chic and cool! I really can not pick a favorite, they are all gorgeous! OK, I will calm down now I envy you on your shoe collection and gorgeous gams. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-629192 Sat, 26 May 2012 05:04:57 +0000 Scarlet 629192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been drawn to loose and flowy items lately too. I was actually thinking of asking the forum yay/nay because it's really different for me. I love the arm detail on 3, but could the body be slightly less voluminous? All super fab. 1 is my fave, although I can see how 2 would be better to see IRL. BTW, every time I see sandals with ankle straps now, I think of you. I think I would get some if I could wear sandals more often, but they are one of my forbidden to buy items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-629170 Sat, 26 May 2012 04:39:10 +0000 Reneeb 629170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the loose and flowy dress you are just too cool. Great legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-629128 Sat, 26 May 2012 03:58:54 +0000 Meredith1953 629128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those booties really do go with everything. You look so incredible in all these outfits! Flowy just doesn't seem to be something I can do but I love it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-629073 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:24:22 +0000 sarah 629073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, you are uber-fab. You can wear those high-vamp booties like no one else. I love the silhouette in #2 and the dresses are so lovely on you. I would never in a million years have tried cut out sleeves, and they work so well. Keep hacking away at your clothes, my dear, as it seems to give you a whole new wardrobe when you do, clever you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-629066 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:18:51 +0000 Jonesy 629066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! </p> <p>Angie, you are too sweet--thanks so much for the Ks and the "insatiable fabness" quote :). I appreciate your thoughts on the booties; interesting about the shoulder cut-out being generally flattering. You just never know until you try something on...</p> <p>Vicki, I love how you refer to me "muscling" my denim shirt! Sort of like I was wrestling with it or something!</p> <p>Una, the booties are charcoal gray (see pic below). They were listed as black, but they're not. I was looking high and low for something like them, and I really wanted a low, black heel, so these were perfect.</p> <p>Thanks, Nicoleb, Suz, Jeanne, Tracina, and Zap!</p> <p>Deborah, no I didn't hem the denim shirt, so it has a little fringe on it like denim cut-offs would have. Pretty RATE.</p> <p>Kiwichik, Janet, Sveta, and KCS, thanks for the thumbs up on the new dress!</p> <p>Beth Ann, I am cracking up at your "dirty laundry on the hanger" comment :). Yeah, droopy stuff can look a little bleh, I agree! Sometimes I really wonder if something is going to look okay (like volume on volume as in #2), so I use a photo as a way to tell.</p> <p>I'll bet that you could all rock some loose and flowy summer looks, ladies!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-629048 Sat, 26 May 2012 02:02:23 +0000 K. Period. 629048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! All three outfits look amazing. I'm usually not a big fan of the shoulder cutouts (flashbacks to the 80s, when it wasn't pretty), but these are so incredible with the looser, flowing shape! I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-629043 Sat, 26 May 2012 01:55:16 +0000 Beth Ann 629043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful. And an example of how "modern" and "edgy" can be soft and flowy. Looks like summer is fully underway for you. Please keep posting these looks. I see these items in the store, and on the hanger they look like dirty laundry! Of course, I don't have your lean height, but you keep giving me great ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-629020 Sat, 26 May 2012 01:24:38 +0000 Angie 629020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well isn't that hacked denim shirt fabulous! You very clever girl :). Of course the booties go with everything!!! Love them with all these outfits because of their modern and grounding quality - especially on Ms. Legs. </p> <p>KILLER x3. You have killer style, Jonesy - end of story. </p> <p>Oh! And that dress/top style is remarkable isn't it? That top arm cut out thingie is so flattering. I had that style detailing on a plus sized client today and she also looked incredible. </p> <p>Thanks for gracing us with your insatiable fabness Queen Loose and Flowy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-629019 Sat, 26 May 2012 01:24:31 +0000 Sveta 629019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, you never disappoint! That was a very smart move to make a light weight jacket out of shirt - brilliant! I like the new dress too - very Jonesy-like.<br /> I have a serious envy for your peep-toe booties here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-629015 Sat, 26 May 2012 01:16:30 +0000 Janet 629015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try flowy but it never looks as cool as it does on you! All of these are fab, and I LOVE the dress in 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628996 Sat, 26 May 2012 00:51:20 +0000 Anonymous 628996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do flowy like no other. I so wish I could pull this off. I think the hack is brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628983 Sat, 26 May 2012 00:30:00 +0000 Kiwichik 628983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loose &amp; flowy looks good on you. I really like the black dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628972 Sat, 26 May 2012 00:07:46 +0000 Anonymous 628972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I Love all these, you look so relaxed and breezy. You are very creative with the hacking.</p> <p>I like the idea of a slouchy belt on #3 but I also like it as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628963 Fri, 25 May 2012 23:58:50 +0000 Jjsloane 628963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally fab and fluid. You are the reason I still attempt to buy shoes that are way too cool for me. I just can't pull it off like you do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628959 Fri, 25 May 2012 23:53:37 +0000 Deborah 628959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Love each of these. </p> <p>Are youbsaying you didn't hem the shirt in one? Too clever. Jonesy I have a great lightweight denim shirt I thrifted that is a funny length...I might give this ago - I'm such a neat freak though so I may have to hem it lol. I think #1 looks wonderful. #2 creates one of my favourite silhouettes on you and please keep the dress in #3. It's stunning! Personally in would wesrbit everywhere! And this booties do go with everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628950 Fri, 25 May 2012 23:40:46 +0000 Suz 628950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, it's official. </p> <p>You don't just LOOK fab, you ARE fab. </p> <p>When I am reincarnated I want to come back as you so I get to wear some of these flowy silhouettes. </p> <p>I think my favourite of these is #2, but they are all incredibly gorgeous and you are right, the booties go with everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628948 Fri, 25 May 2012 23:39:01 +0000 nicoleb 628948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these on you and i LOVE your shoes!

I am completely in love with your shoes. They are just wonderful with all these outfits. What color are they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628937 Fri, 25 May 2012 23:26:43 +0000 Vicki 628937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've got the greatest gams and those peep-toe booties work with everything. I really like the way you muscled that denim shirt and paired it with the cute print dress. I also love your dress in 3 for its sophisticated yet flowy summer look. It just has the best vibe for any outing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628933 Fri, 25 May 2012 23:22:13 +0000 Jonesy 628933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Dianthus! I'll bet you could rock a loose dress, no problem!</p> <p>Malina, you are totally on target re. belting the dress: On the website, they showed it loose in a few shots, then belted in others. I just threw it on for this pic (it came in the mail right as I was getting ready to go to lunch) so I might fiddle around with a belt...though there is *a lot* of fabric so it might look too bunchy, plus up the Fuss Factor (TM, Claire). I envision this dress as a running around town doing errands kind of thing, rather than out to dinner or something a bit dressier, so I kind of like the sloppy looseness of it :).</p> <p>Thanks, Makrame, Shannon, and Christieanne! I guess the hacked denim shirt is doing okay so far!</p> <p>Kelly, you could totally wear a loose dress, even if you are a bit shorter than I am! I can do a bit of hand-sewing (I removed the on-seam pockets on the dress in #1, for example, and I can do basic hemming, removing a cap sleeve, etc.), but not a lot.</p> <p>Anna, thanks! It was really easy to order from them. I placed the order maybe on Monday evening, and the dress came today, via the postal service. They have some fun stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628924 Fri, 25 May 2012 23:05:57 +0000 annagybe 628924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hack is brilliant! I like the Pixie Market dress on you. How is it ordering from them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628923 Fri, 25 May 2012 23:04:43 +0000 christieanne 628923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your DIY are inspired. A shirt is lighter weight than denim jacket for your weather zone in any case - pretty smart You do loose and breezy in a very uptown way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628919 Fri, 25 May 2012 22:54:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 628919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The "hacked off" jacket is fab Jonesy! Perfect length and silhouette - you clever thing you! All of these outfits speak to your cool, effortless looking, tres chic style. And you're right - the booties go with everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628918 Fri, 25 May 2012 22:53:58 +0000 kellygirl 628918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in loose and flowy. You own this look. Amazing! Killer bootie sandals too. You look so summery and stylish. I admire your creativity with the scissors. You hack pretty darn well. Are you a seamstress too? </p> <p>I can't get over how fab that cold shoulder dress looks on you. If only I were taller! Wear it often, please! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628916 Fri, 25 May 2012 22:47:57 +0000 Makrame 628916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your drapey, floaty silhouettes. And the hacked-off shirt in #1 is a great idea - since I am on the hunt for a cropped denim jacket, my first thought when looking at the pictures was "I wonder where Jonesy found that great jacket?" :)</p> <p>The dress in #3 works for my eye, especially with your signature high vamp sandals/booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-loose-and-flowy-in-the-summertime#post-628915 Fri, 25 May 2012 22:47:41 +0000 Mo 628915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them a lot, but I want to see a low slung belt on #3. I know you want breezey easy, and maybe it's my own fears of surrendering the waist . . . FWIW. #2 is my fave! The shoes of course, rock. </p>
