I can appreciate your love for the linen topper. Those are my faves too—I have two from tommy bahama that would be work horses if they were more neutral. You have nailed the skirt formula and look terrific in pants as well. So sleek and chic!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275367 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 18:43:27 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2275367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a beautiful, flattering formula.

The linen jackets are gone from Marshall's and TJMax but I see pricier options from Tommy Bahama ( didn't work for me - too big ) and others. Hope you'll find what works for you.<br />Thank you, @Jaime. Linen jackets remind me denim ones without the stiffness and heaviness and work well in our often hot summer.<br />Thank you, @kkards. The outfit #2 done with old Lucky Brand graphic tank top - one of my favorites. I wish similar ones were still available but nothing comes close to the fit and style in current offerings.<br />Thank you, @Bijou. I hope I can make more variations that will take me &nbsp;at least through September ( temperatures will hopefully drop a bit in October ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275328 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 12:09:38 +0000 Bijou 2275328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning in all of these and whilst you may have duplicates, they are all creatively styled. You have hit a number of winning formulas. Dressing for variable summer weather and aircon is tricky, I love your solution with the linen jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275322 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 10:37:51 +0000 kkards 2275322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this is good! &nbsp;How wonderful that you found something that worked so well, and you were so smart to buy it in as many colors as you did! &nbsp;I love that it works so well, and it’s just different enough to not seem to be the same thing (does that make sense?).&nbsp;<div>My fav is #2, i love how you’ve picked up the green from the tee into the jacket.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275317 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 09:42:38 +0000 Jaime 2275317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim cat you clearly know what works for you and your duplication strategy has paid off. All fabulous outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275309 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 07:49:51 +0000 The Cat 2275309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look really fab. All these outfits are gorgeous! Excellent styling. Inspirational. I love the way you use patterns and match colours in an outfit. And you make me want to give this kind of jackets another try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275306 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 06:41:36 +0000 slim cat 2275306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, @Sal. Summer jackets are often lined which ruins the whole idea of lightweight easy to care jacket for me. I tried quite a few options that were too big, too long, too slouchy ( not enough structure ), or too tight in sleeves jackets that all went back to the stores before finding my fav ones.<br />Thank you, @Brooklyn. Your gorgeous collection of skirts and outfits with them were my original inspiration couple years ago. Your complex, beautiful, polished outfits are like art pieces - always a pleasure to look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275298 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 05:31:07 +0000 Brooklyn 2275298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! You make summer dressing look so easy. </p> <p>I think it’s smart to duplicate. Warm weather jackets in interesting colours, and natural fibres, and not denim, are hard to find. </p> <p>My favourite is 12. I love the way you pattern mix and you have a great collection of graphic tees. I think our skirt style (apart from colour preferences) is quite similar, so I really enjoy getting inspiration from your posts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275297 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 05:00:27 +0000 Sal 2275297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's all working for you so well.&nbsp; This is smart duplication, it's not boring or repetitive because of the variety of tees and skirts and even colours.</p> <p>I too have found light weight jackets hard to find - too cropped or too long or too boxy etc... These ones look so good!!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275290 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 03:08:58 +0000 slim cat 2275290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, @Mirjana, @Nikki and @rachylou.

Cohesive yet varied. Really fresh. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275280 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 02:30:25 +0000 Anonymous 2275280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool jacket collection! I like your use of pattern in the skirts and tops to create awesome outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275278 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 02:18:41 +0000 Mirjana 2275278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your linen jackets are perfect and I would wear them with pleasure, so practical for summer. All outfits are great and can't pick favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275277 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 02:18:09 +0000 slim cat 2275277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, @merwoman. I do love green color and have a collection of turquoise jewelry to play the color of my eyes ( grey-ish green depending on what I wear ). I was excited to get the green jacket but found it a bit too pale - the slightly darker color would have been perfect for dressier effect. Still - it works with variety of things in my wardrobe.<br />Thank you, @SarahD8. I originally thought that white jacket would go easily with that skirt but the whites were too mismatched. The blue jacket was looking better and softer like you rightfully noticed. I'd be wearing black jacket ( like in a perfect dress code ) if it wasn't so awful on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275273 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 02:05:53 +0000 SarahD8 2275273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well as another fan of duplication I love this. What a wonderful effortless mix and match capsule. I am especially smitten by the black/white/blue pattern mix in #9. It’s dynamic, but the texture of the linen jacket brings some softness and keeps the whole look from being overly graphic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275269 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 01:46:32 +0000 slim cat 2275269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, @CarolS. It is the same skirt - lol. It's black and white but not bright white. It does look slightly different in a different light. I think it's one of the problems editing the photos - some colors look too pale, some too cold in hue. If I had a chance to duplicate that skirt in green - I'd do it in heartbeat .<br />Thank you, @Suz. You are absolutely right about work setting - we often have AC barely working, or working unevenly ( half of the floor is colder and half - warmer. You can guess which part I'm stationed &nbsp;).&nbsp;<br />Regarding the skirts - mine are from 2020 and the beginning of 2021 from EXPRESS ( all three of them ). I haven't found anything that pretty and fun yet. The one I'm waiting for ( in the mail ) is from BR. It's a final sale though and I'm taking the gamble.<a rel="nofollow" href="https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=836631012&amp;cid=26495&amp;pcid=26495&amp;vid=1&amp;nav=meganav%3AWomen%3ASUMMER%20SALE%3AWomen%27s%20Sale#pdp-page-content">https://bananarepublic.gap.com.....&#038;vid=</a><br />I have tried blue one in the store and bought it, but had trouble envisioning it on me - it's too bright cobalt blue ( perfect for you and Janet ). I ordered yellow one since I have a bit of yellow accessories and hope to make it work - fingers crossed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275266 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 01:35:28 +0000 merwoman 2275266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The midi skirts look soooo good on you! And smart move on the jackets. In particular I think the eucalyptus jacket is a great colour for you, really highlights your beautiful eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275264 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 01:31:29 +0000 Suz 2275264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh. Love the pattern mix in #9 and what a fantastic skirt that is. Actually, I like all your skirts. I have not had luck finding similar, alas!&nbsp;</p> <p>These are signature outfits! No wonder you duplicated the linen jacket -- it's fantastic. I would imagine it would feel lightweight and not too heavy for the heat yet give a bit of coverage and polish for the work setting.&nbsp;</p> <p>I sometimes forget about Jones New York but they were workwear a staple back in the day and I think they continue to make good stuff!&nbsp;</p> <p>Sandals and sneakers look great, too. You have summer dressing down to a quick formula but each outfit feels unique.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275263 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 01:31:06 +0000 CarolS 2275263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! Is the skirt in 13 the same skirt as in 3/9 but in a different colour, or it it just the lighting? I love the green jacket with what appears to be a green version of the skirt i 13.&nbsp;</p> <p>Great (and smart) duplications. If it works, it works!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275260 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 00:43:26 +0000 slim cat 2275260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, @AndiB. I hope you'll find more colorful options - I'm still looking for another one .<br />Thank you, @LJP. Outfit #3 is probably close to my "minimal" dressing - solid black top, silver jewelry, neutral jacket and one printed bottom - my favorite skirt that I love to wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275258 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 00:37:41 +0000 slim cat 2275258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, @ChristelJ. I like all my linen jackets but blue is my favorite.<br />Wish I could add another one in yellow or even pink, but my size was not available in the stores and on line had limited options.<br />Thank you, @Indigoprint. I do have uniform way of dressing but always strive to make it more fun with different combinations.<br />Thank you, @Angie - for the lovely compliment! Love "personal stamp" phrase - gotta start using it myself .<br />Thank you, @Irina. The outfit #9 is one of my fav too and came to be almost by accident. I was running out of very light sleeveless tops and stumbled on the forgotten one ( was sitting unworn for a while ). Surprisingly that combo made some co-workers call it a "pretty dress" .Thank you, @bonnie.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275257 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 00:24:54 +0000 LJP 2275257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done . Your linen jackets are perfect - exactly what I want to wear too . I love the skirt in pic 3 too ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275256 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 00:23:55 +0000 AndiB 2275256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I already tracked down that blue linen jacket. Now I need the green one! You rock all of these looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275254 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 00:19:06 +0000 Bonnie 2275254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like a well planned capsule wardrobe. Every combo works beautifully!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275253 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 00:08:19 +0000 Irina 2275253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if it works, why not to duplicate? Jackets look great on you. My favorite is #9 and others with that skirt, which is absolutely gorgeous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-or-extreme-duplicating#post-2275250 Tue, 02 Aug 2022 00:00:25 +0000 Angie 2275250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clever and impactful repetitions and formula dressing, <b>Queen Linen Jacket</b>! You are sooooo right to duplicate comfy sandals and sneakers too. Particularly, loving the white sandals!&nbsp;</p> <p>Agree with <b>ChristelJ,</b> that each outfit holds its own, looks fresh, and has its own vibe. Plus your signature style stands out SPLENDIDLY!&nbsp;</p> <p>Hard to pic a fave. All so good! Smashing graphic tees coming through&nbsp; make the look KILLER to my eye. Nice bit of personal stamp. Unique! And you're rocking that low rise </p>
