I'm so late I'm not sure what else to say, but bravo! Project 50 is great. I'm closer to a project 75 / that's per season right! :-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1529969 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 09:39:56 +0000 Suz 1529969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waving at my kitty shirt twin (triplet, quadruplet). Isn't that a great shirt? I love mine....</p> <p>You have terrific style. It's modern classic, a bit preppy, with an urban flair. You know what works for your body type, and you wear it with insouciance. I love all these outfits, but especially the midi! I also love #1 from the first set, #4 (because kitty shirt), and your denim on denim looks. Just like Angie's blog post.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1529888 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 04:14:30 +0000 annabelle 1529888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie, I love *your* style. It's pretty, and refined and urban. You can wear color and you know how to keep an outfit from getting sweet. If I were you, I'd own those black touches and take pride when you try something a little out of your comfort zone each season. But I agree with you - it's not a rut. It's style. Embrace it and enjoy experimenting the way you have been, knowing that you have a great foundation when you want something comfortable to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1529681 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 22:00:18 +0000 Anonymous 1529681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Keturah. I've tacked on a few more here. I wear shorts and flip flops on the w/es.<br /> I have a few more pairs of shorts and tshirts, but this pretty much sums up my summer capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1529617 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 19:39:07 +0000 Keturah 1529617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning!

No toppers. 2 pairs of shoes. I wanted to spice it up with edgier pieces. But really, I just needed more variety, like skirts and dresses, for ex.</p> <p>I think I'm more of a Project 50 gal, rather than a Project 33 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1519082 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 11:55:24 +0000 Helena 1519082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smittie, I so glad to hear you are embracing your style because it is so beautiful and natural on you. I love every outfit. The flares jeans and slouchy top look amazing. (6). Although there is no edge here, there IS a certain "undone" ease to all of them. Just gorgeous!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1519081 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 11:50:20 +0000 Aquamarine 1519081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love every outfit! You are adorable and seem to have a nicely defined style. Not being on the forum lately, I am not sure why you want to add edge, because you look great as is. I love the midi, especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1518992 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 06:08:07 +0000 tulle 1518992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love every one of these looks, Smittie, and must say that you are one girl who can really wear skinnies--gorgeous.&nbsp; But the flairs look great, too, and that pastel striped dress with the baby blue denim jacket is the essence of Summer.&nbsp; I also think that your midi skirt looks very current (reminds me of a patchwork denim version by Junya Watanabe for Comme des Garcons that I lust after) especially the way you've styled it, with cropped tops. I find the sweatshirt-style top particularly chic with that skirt.&nbsp; Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1518825 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 23:12:06 +0000 Anonymous 1518825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you kiwigal!<br /> I'm enjoying my clothes this summer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1518823 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 23:08:30 +0000 Sal 1518823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I am home and have a decent screen I wanted to peruse your pics again. &nbsp;I just wanted to say how much I like all these looks. &nbsp;You do have a modern Jackie O look as Brooklyn said. &nbsp;All the outfits are current and different, but have a polish about them that I like. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1518504 Sun, 12 Jul 2015 05:14:56 +0000 Jaime 1518504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits - Iove the midi in #9 especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1518357 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 20:47:33 +0000 shedev 1518357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week of outfits.

Honestly can't pick a favorite - they all look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1518223 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 13:53:58 +0000 Anonymous 1518223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donnat, thanks for chiming in. When are we going to see another Wiw from you?<br /> Thanks also Diane and KKardds ! Nice to know I did a good job this week.</p> <p> Maneera, I had the same reaction to the dress! this is the first structured (woven) dress I've own. I like the stripes, colours, and small side slits at the bottom. I could also tie the tie thingy at the front and convert it to a top.</p> <p> I think you're right that a pink top would look good with the skirt (and would be an overall good addition to my summer wardrobe. I don't own anything pink at the mo'). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1518214 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 13:29:13 +0000 kkards 1518214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, i'll admit that i've got a sugar eye for midi's, so that said, i like that look a lot, but #1 is my fav… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1518172 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 11:25:12 +0000 Anonymous 1518172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow!

Did I say 'love' enough?! I really love it! It's so delicious!!! And it so perfect on you. Really pretty and simple and crisp. </p> <p>My second favourite is the midi. What a gorgeous skirt! It's got a beautiful colour and cut....it's stunning! Love it with the cropped sweatshirt, though I think it'll look even more gorgeous with a pink top tucked in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1518100 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 02:32:41 +0000 donnat 1518100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 8 and 9 alot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1518086 Sat, 11 Jul 2015 01:53:29 +0000 Anonymous 1518086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the 'boost' everyone!<br />Yes, I wasn't sure about the midi...I've seen other posts where ppl advise to hem the skirt to the knee.</p> <p>It's funny that you say I have an 'apres-tennis' &nbsp;and 'summer on Cape Cod' type of look because I've de-prepped a lot over the past 2 years.</p> <p>Yes, Aida, I just love my kitty shirt. It is such a great colour and feels good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1518016 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 23:04:21 +0000 Aida 1518016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great week! I like the amount of slouch you have in your outfits, they have a very nice ease to them. I am ultra partial to #4/5 because I also have that delightful kitty blouse ^^ Also adore #7 (with the jacket on). Both midi outfits look good, slight preference for the second with the cropped sweatshirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1518012 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 22:59:54 +0000 Brooklyn 1518012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the midi teamed with the crop top looks fresh, crisp and current. My favourite look is no 6/7, probably because it is the most boho. I really love flares, wedges and a tunic top in summer. What brand are the jeans? And I love your Jackie O look in no 2/3. They are all good really. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1517981 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 22:17:55 +0000 E 1517981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love the midi best! And that's with loving all of your outfits; they're so crisp and 'summer on Cape Cod' feeling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1517974 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 22:06:45 +0000 Jenn 1517974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the midi is my favorite look out of all of these. I understand how the look can walk the line between really fashion-forward and yikes-dowdy, but my votes is that you've fallen squarely on the fashionable side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1517964 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 21:42:01 +0000 Anonymous 1517964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look great in everything here ! &nbsp;I'd love to be able to wear a midi and cropped top like this - totally current and flattering </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1517958 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 21:31:28 +0000 catgirl 1517958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fab looks! The first is one I want to copy. Everything fits so nicely. I can see Rachylou loving that dress - it's got a summer après-tennis look that is very suited to your overall look. I love the midi skirt with the cropped top which keeps it very modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-m-f-midi-dress-dated-or-bad-look#post-1517957 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 21:31:08 +0000 Word Lily 1517957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cohesive!

(It's a fairly casual workplace, at least on my floor.)<br /> I'm on my phone right now, so will provide commentary later.</p> <p>ETA, commentary is as follows:</p> <p>1. I don't know if you noticed, but I tried to do different silhouettes each day (although 1 and 4 are similar). This is my solution to wardrobe boredom this year.</p> <p>2. In previous posts, I had asked how to add 'edge' to my style. Well, I failed at Project Edgification. I went out shopping for converse and graphic T-s and ended up with cork wedges (but they're black!) and a Lacoste pink stripy dress. I used to think this was a style rut, but I think this is just 'my style', so I might as well own it, and give up on edge.</p> <p>3. I wasn't sure about whether the midi dress was dated because I've seen recommendations from forum members to up the hems on others' skirts. But maybe the high waist makes this one OK?</p> <p>4. Any comments and critiques welcome!&nbsp;</p>
