Fall and winter layering is just so much more satisfying :).</p> <p>Jules, it's lovely to hear from you! I think I do have a lot of "statement" pieces, for sure. I like a lot of pattern and appreciate an interesting cut. The three-pattern jumpsuit is a bit of a stretch even for me, but I love it. Re. my DIY haircut: I watched a 10-minute video on YouTube and gave it a shot, LOL.</p> <p>Suz, nice to see you and thanks! I am crossing my fingers that your neck of the woods opens up soon and you can get out and about and enjoy your gorgeous summer!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about/page/2#post-2201881 Fri, 11 Jun 2021 15:32:53 +0000 Suz 2201881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clog queen!! </p> <p>I just saw this now (have been off the forum for a few days). So great to see you post, and what a fun set of outfits. You are looking wonderful. </p> <p>I can feel the excitement of <b>GOING OUT</b>!!! Wow.

The jumpsuit and DvN jacket are sensational on you.</p> <p>I'm also very intrigued by your DIY haircuts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about/page/2#post-2201762 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 22:53:46 +0000 Katerina 2201762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, you look sensational! Every outfit is a special treat. Love your style! As a blazer enthusiast, I was drooling over no 3. That is perfection, and I love the boots too.<br /> I am with you on the fall and winter dressing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about/page/2#post-2201732 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 21:41:55 +0000 Anonymous 2201732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 and #3 most too!

And yes, #3 is effortless chic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about/page/2#post-2201708 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 18:54:00 +0000 nuancedream 2201708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaw dropping outfits, Jonesy! I got a bad case of the wantsies for #1 and #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about/page/2#post-2201707 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 18:47:57 +0000 MsMary 2201707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHA yes, "I am dead" = *plonk*</p> <p>Good grief it's been a while... I'm forgetting my schtick!</p> <p>And have I mentioned that you look AHMAHZING??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about/page/2#post-2201685 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 17:18:01 +0000 Jonesy 2201685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much!</p> <p>Shevia, I love that you are a veteran of TRR, and your packed suitcase full of treasure to sell over your vacation makes me smile! I envy your thrifted, creative, chic wardrobe so much.</p> <p>Nikki, Firecracker, ChristelJ (yes, I agree it feels revealing to post a WIW--kind of vulnerable, in a way), and Kyle, thanks for the love for the silver jacket! Kyle, it's nice to hear from you and I hope you are enjoying your retirement! Maybe post a few WIWs at some point :)? I would love to see your style!</p> <p>Slimcat, Mirjana, RobinF (yay for Docs boots--soo comfy and bouncy when I walk!), and Star, thanks for your comments on the more casual looks. I wondered about posting casual summer looks (their casualness makes them seem less interesting to me, vs. my more formal work looks during the academic year) but went for it, so thanks!</p> <p>Bella, it's great to see you and LOL about the sunglasses--yours are quite chic! I hope you are well and I would love to see you post a WIW once in a while :). The more the merrier.</p> <p>Brooklyn, thanks for your feedback! It's nice to know there are other clog lovers out there. My fave footwear is boots and booties, but those have to wait until fall...Interesting that you too feel nervous when you post your WIWs--I never would have guessed!</p> <p>FashIntern, thanks for your thoughts! Hopefully you can drag your son to some outdoor concerts very soon :). Great to hear from another pattern mixer!</p> <p>Thanks, Helena! I know my style is pretty maximal compared to yours, so I appreciate your feedback ;).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201622 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 14:04:12 +0000 Helena 2201622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful relaxed polish.

Loving every stylish look, but especially your blazer outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201598 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 13:13:11 +0000 Star (Lise) 2201598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5 is so interesting.&nbsp; I'm not usually such a fan of tie-dye yet I love this outfit.&nbsp; The rest are all grade A outfits too.&nbsp; You have great style and fab hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201580 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 12:22:23 +0000 RobinF 2201580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great outfits! I agree you look fabulous in shorts. My favorites are 4 and 6, such great casual looks. We are Doc Marten twins - I got some last year just like that and wore them all winter. Love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201573 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 11:55:53 +0000 ChristelJ 2201573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice that you are emerging. I find it very hard to post photos because it feels so revealing, so I consider WIWs a real gift when people post them. So thank you!<br /> You look terrific in all these. While 1 and 3 are standouts, I am quite drawn to 4 for the clogs and relaxed vibe of the top and pants, and the fun bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201572 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 11:50:40 +0000 Mirjana 2201572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits! You look so gorgeous, love all, but especially #1, 4 and #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201563 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 08:26:13 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2201563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So great! I love pattern and mixing—you serve them up nicely! Even your curls are like a pattern mixing with the curly pattern in that jumpsuit. Also, I’m dying that you went to a picnic on the lawn and chamber concert. Things like that are starting to open up here, but fat chance I’ll get my son to go with me. Your rocker look for the friends bday is awesome. Great errand-running outfits too, especially the blues. I like pattern because I think it makes things softer than just “here’s another color. Boom”. The way the motif in the shorts and the stripes in the top tie together is super.</p> <p>I appreciate you posting, so I can see whose behind the smart, insightful comments that have been popping up with your name on them for the past couple months. Nice to “meet” you at last! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201556 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 06:17:10 +0000 Brooklyn 2201556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfits! You look so gorgeous! I love your hair. Your shorts. And especially your footwear. The clogs and docs made me swoon.</p> <p>Thank you for posting. I’ve been doing it for years now and I still get the nervous/hesitant feeling that you describe. But it does make the forum a richer place if we are willing to share. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201555 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 06:09:12 +0000 bella 2201555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, my sunglasses twin! ! Welcome back, it's so good to see you and your wonderful outfits. Your hair is looking better than ever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201553 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 04:45:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2201553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Jonesy, I love your style! These are so great. I adore #5 and would like to steal #3 from head to toe for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201547 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 03:43:45 +0000 slim cat 2201547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab looks! I love #5 ( perfect mix with light blue color uniting the outfit ) and #2 and #6 ( perfect summer outfits - casual with polished finish )!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201542 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 02:33:04 +0000 Anonymous 2201542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome outfits! The silver jacket is marvelous! Love your hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201539 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 01:52:17 +0000 Jaime 2201539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! I am so happy that you are posting outfits again, and you look even more fab than I remembered! I am also a big DVN fan, and also love to find cheap Etoile Isabel Marant on theRealReal. Diffusion lines are often a steal there. (I am a long time theRealReal customer and have already packed a suitcase to sell when I go to the US this summer.)<br />But enough about me! The jumpsuit is amazing and I love the signature ring, bangle combination. You look fantastic in shorts and exactly how I would wear short shorts if I wore shorts shorts. Your DVN jacket is such a stand out and the jeans and boot combination is perfect. Linen and drop waist pants are great. Blue fisherman sandals! I die. Also those dyed pants are excellent. Also love your last shorts outfit, see shorts comment above.<br />Did I mention I am glad you're back? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201534 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 01:03:23 +0000 Jonesy 2201534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much! It's a little nerve wracking to post ("do I really want to do this?" "yes, it will be fun!" "no, scaary! stay in the background!" etc.), so I appreciate your kindness a lot.&nbsp;</p> <p>MsMary, you are too, too kind! Thanks for your kind words. Does saying "I am dead" = a plonk? :)</p> <p>Tanya, thanks so much for your detailed, sweet reply! Life post-Covid and post-loungewear is a treat!</p> <p>Chewy, JAileen, Gingko, and Rachylou, thanks for the love for #3 and the jacket! Gingko, you should definitely check out TRR!</p> <p>Angie, I happily accept those crowns :)! You are so generous with your feedback--thank you! I am delighted to be back at YLF soaking up the kindness and style energy.</p> <p>Irina and BJ1111, thanks for the love for the mixed print jumpsuit! I ordered it on a whim, and it fit so well and was so fun that I had to keep. I've worn it twice since I got it. Post-Covid, I'm much more likely to be like "what the heck, you only live once!" BJ1111, you have a great memory! I think fondly of the YLF get-together in Chicago on St. Pat's weekend--I remember your jacket-cape you bought at the Rack, by a Japanese designer whose name escapes me! Sigh, fun times...</p> <p>Janet, you have set the bar with your extremely stylish shorts outfits you've been posting--I'm just following your lead! Re. DvN and sizing: First of all, I am larger than you and so if I can wear some of his clothes, you can quite easily :). Second of all, one of the cool things about TRR is that they provide the measurements for each garment (except for sweaters, which is an inexplicable bummer), so you can assess whether or not something will fit. So I can browse and then buy something if it looks like it will fit me, based on the measurements, not the stated size. DvN stuff is wildly variable in terms of sizing--I have some tops labeled small that are really oversized, and sometimes there is something I like in a large size, but it's way too narrow for me. So give it a shot, I say!</p> <p>Kelly, thanks so much! From one IT old timer to another, I appreciate your kind words! Your casual looks are aspirational to me, so I love your feedback.</p> <p>Carla, thanks for the love for #4-#5--summer is much more about a casual vibe for me!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks everyone for the nice words about my hair! I started cutting it myself during the pandemic (after some disastrous professional haircuts including a non-consensual mullet), and I am happy with the results, so I am going to keep doing it.&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA: Thanks so much, Angie! It is *a lot* of jacket, so I'm happy to get such positive feedback about it :).</p> <p>Sarah, thanks so much for chiming in! Another YLF old timer! Believe me, I am still in loungewear a lot of the time, but venturing out a little bit has been joyful. I hope to see you around here a wee bit!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201532 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 00:56:37 +0000 sarah 2201532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, what a treat! It's wonderful to see your impeccably assembled, creative, and oh-so-you outfits. Love them all! The clogs are fab. I have those striped shorts in my shopping cart LOL (I have two other pairs, and seem to wear them daily, especially when it's in the 90s day after day). I'm still lounging around and feeling pretty darn unmotivated to wear anything but shorts and tee-shirts, but you are an inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201529 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 00:55:20 +0000 Angie 2201529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to say that your DvN jacket in #3 is KILLER to the Power of KILLER, and perfect with your salt and pepper locks!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201524 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 00:36:46 +0000 Carla 2201524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your style! &nbsp;#4 and #5 are my faves, but I lead a super casual life and it’s icky hot out these days, and these are cool and fresh. &nbsp;Thanks for sharing with us. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>#hairgoals</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201518 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 00:14:25 +0000 bj1111 2201518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am nuts about #1!</p> <p>I still remember a patterned dress that you reworked into a stunner. I also remember your staircase/landing where you would take photos.</p> <p>Are you still in that house? I’m so glad you are back, from an old timer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201516 Thu, 10 Jun 2021 00:08:17 +0000 kellygirl 2201516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg, is right! You are stunning as ever. 3 is quintessential Jonesy! Can't get over your stellar clog collection--and gorgeous casual outfits. The jumpsuit is divine. The striped top with the printed pants--the button down with the shorts. All are so beautiful! SO happy to see you again. Thank you for sharing!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201513 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 23:29:34 +0000 Janet 2201513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! I’ve been looking forward to this, since you’ve been back. You look as fantastic as ever. Hair is beautiful! And, can I please have legs like yours in my next life? All the outfits are great, but I share your love for #3. </p> <p>DvN is a designer I love, that I’ve never had opportunity to try on in real life. I need to pay more attention to TRR. I’ve only bought a scarf there. And I have scored some things on Poshmark, but more scarves and bags — I’m reluctant with clothes because I never think they’ll fit me, LOL. </p> <p>Oh, and I totally agree about the Ondo socks. I bought two more pairs of them so I’m never caught with them all being in the wash, and I’m going to donate all my old no-show socks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-out-about#post-2201511 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 23:04:34 +0000 Tanya 2201511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, now that&nbsp; have recovered a bit I am back.&nbsp; &nbsp;#3 outfit is my favorite (that is one incredible jacket), closely followed by #2 and #1.&nbsp; &nbsp; I love your hair and you look stunning in shorts.</p> <p>Btw, what you wrote bout working from home, loungewear, recent vaccination, etc., is exactly the same for me, so I hear you 1000%. </p>
