You must have a wonderful and very fit MIL, at 84!:-)<br /> Thanks for posting these, I like both your outfits here!<br /> The new dress is so fresh and fab, and, I am taking notes for our hotest days in summer-it never occured me to pop a scarf over a summer dress for skin protection/when so hot, except when indoors and air conditioning.<br /> Do you keep the scarf folded around your neck like it's shown here, or you loose it ad put it over your shouders like a pashmina when running arround? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one/page/2#post-822150 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 12:02:27 +0000 Deborah 822150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katiepea, how lovely to "see" you:).

Thanks for the reminder that dresses can be worn in less formal settings too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819687 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 03:16:02 +0000 Angie 819687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*regains consciousness* </p> <p>You are allowed to enjoy my fainting spells. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819640 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 02:30:48 +0000 Amy 819640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like seeing you in those pretty colors. I don't think the pattern is frumpy at all, but then again, I may not be the best judge of that either. The black outfit is very chic too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819631 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 02:20:49 +0000 Deborah 819631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz. I have just had a look at Delft Blue on line and yes I can see what you and Inge see. I hadn't made the connection myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819538 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 01:11:30 +0000 Suz 819538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I love what Inge said about a modern Delft blue - I really see that in the dress. You look sensational in the dress and dress and scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819476 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 00:02:34 +0000 Deborah 819476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thank you so much! I like the dress but I have this weird tendency toward frumpy patterns and I was on the fence as to whether the pattern was cool and modern or old and fumpy... seems its ok :)</p> <p>Glad to see I am not the only one who reaches for a scarf for skin protection:) I also find that adding a scarf to a simple summer dress makes me feel more 'dressed'.</p> <p>Angie, I made you faint... is it ok that I'm thrilled about that lol </p> <p>Ceit, I could definitely see you wearing something like #3.</p> <p>Caro, I think I have two similar but different style personas. #1 is really more what I would put together for the office and #3 is how I like to get about when not at work.<br /> I spoke to my MIL last night and she had a very quiet relaxing afternoon... she admitted to being quite tired. I think she really misses being able to do all the things she used to do </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819342 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 21:02:43 +0000 Caro in Oz 819342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to laugh about your mil - hope I'm like that when I'm 80&gt;</p> <p>Love the look of the dress (nice find). I hear you about #2 being more you - I'm drawn to it more too:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819260 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:41:32 +0000 Tina.b 819260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That summer dress is gorgeous and looks amazing on you! Just so right for the hot weather and it totally works with the scarf. #3 three is totally your signature look and so makes me want to try something like this. Love both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819243 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:17:22 +0000 Beth Ann 819243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I Love #1 -- fresh color, strong, but femnine print.</p> <p>Stay cool and safe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819146 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:59:29 +0000 cobaltblue 819146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite! I totally understand how a scarf can feel cooler than having the sun beat down on exposed skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819134 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:47:52 +0000 Thistle 819134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that blue dress on you! So beautiful and summery. The scarf adds some nice pattern mixing as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819128 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:43:03 +0000 Angie 819128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't get past, #1. You look stunningly beautiful in those fresh patterns and flats. </p> <p>*faints*</p> <p>(YES. I totally get wearing a linen or cotton scarf to stay cool. It works! Just like drinking hot tea to stay cool). </p> <p>*faints again* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819113 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 16:28:48 +0000 Lisa 819113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are lovely but the dress really says "put together for a hot summer day." Nice outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-819033 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 15:33:57 +0000 Jenava 819033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue and white is lovely on you. I agree this could go to work quite easily! #3 is a very cool outfit. Love the leggings and shoes. So sorry the hear about the fires...that is completely awful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-818982 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:43:05 +0000 Anonymous 818982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so fresh in #1. Love the white watch and sandals. And #2 is very cool, the sandals are great, makes me think "urban chic." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-818952 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:22:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 818952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous pattern mixing with the dress and scarf Deborah. I like the artistic look of this outfit. And I absolutely LOVE the second outift - everything about it is great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-818925 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:31:44 +0000 Anonymous 818925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really pretty dress, and I love the red scarf over top. I also really like your second outfit. I am possibly getting ideas for summer clothes....I have a hard time dressing in summer too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-818921 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:25:04 +0000 Astrid 818921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, I love your summer dress! #3 looks nice, but #1 and #2 just made me instantly feel summery. I love the way it looks with your white sandals and white watch and the pattern mix with the scarf is awesome. I often like to wear lightweight scarves in summer myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-818913 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:09:30 +0000 pil 818913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of these are really nice, Deborah. I really like the dress and agree that you could totally "office-ize" it for work. How clever of you to size up the leggings, and I would have never thought of using a scarf like that in the summer. I've discovered the summer hat and am always on the hunt for shade, so I'll have to remember your scarf idea - thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-818900 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:43:07 +0000 Jaime 818900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in both outfits. I love the pattern on the blue dress and the sized up leggings as pants look. I totally understand how a scarf is cooler than the sun on your skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-818894 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:33:01 +0000 Anonymous 818894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both. I especially love the blue dress with the red scarf. Great color combo inspiration!<br /> Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-818879 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:01:40 +0000 Krista 818879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything that Inge said, Deb! You look lovely, as always! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-818875 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:40:51 +0000 Karie 818875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, your dress is so summery and pretty! I like how you've gotten in some pattern mixing with the scarf. I think the dress would also look great with a blazer, belt, and heels, and because of that, will transition into a wearable outfit for spring and maybe even fall.<br /> I also like the idea of sizing up leggings to wear as skinny pants - I'll have to try that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-a-hot-summers-day-plus-one#post-818860 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 10:06:39 +0000 Asingh 818860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deborah, that dress is so fresh and summery. I think it would work just fine with a blazer and black pumps for work (pun intended). And coming to scarves, I absolutely love them and wear them all year round. </p>
