Your hair is looking great! I also like your outfit selection, and #7 is just incredible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1167876 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 19:24:04 +0000 amiable 1167876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, thank you! &nbsp;I do like Shiny's bob a lot, and I'm not too far away from there. &nbsp;I'll press through, and cut it in the summer if it's still too much in my way. &nbsp;I think my slightly shorter bangs (that aren't long enough to tuck behind my ear) are what's bothering me now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1167870 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 19:14:40 +0000 Angie 1167870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Press through a little longer till you get to Shiny's inverted bob. Then chop it off if you're still sick of it. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1167812 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 17:32:56 +0000 amiable 1167812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! I was just starting to think of cutting my hair a bit shorter - back to a long pixie&nbsp;- I feel like it's floppy and everywhere in my face and makes me look older.... &nbsp;Perhaps it's just a phase and I should press through it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1167804 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 17:09:12 +0000 Angie 1167804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the party, but had to chime in to say that your hair is growing out well, and that #4, #5 and #7 are fabulous looks for your lifestyle.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1167373 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 02:47:03 +0000 karymk 1167373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are amazing. All of these are so fab. I love the leather jacket on you, and for shoes, the slimmer oxfords and and the plaid converses are super great. Your camos are my dream pair, please tell me I can find a pair like that somewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1167334 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 02:13:56 +0000 E 1167334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>7 is my favourite, like almost everyone else! I also love&nbsp;3. I don't see what's dated about that sweater, it looks like a classic fisherman one to me, but I don't have much of a dated meter, so I'll trust you. If it were mine, I'd wear it all of the time though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1166710 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 15:44:30 +0000 JAileen 1166710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You put together some very nice outfits here - I especially like #3 and #7. I love how you mirrored the plaid scarf with your shoes in #3, and of course the clear colors in #7 really suit you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1166678 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 15:15:32 +0000 Lisa 1166678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like you have hit your style groove.&nbsp; My favorites here are the camo jeans in #1 with the light topper, it really showcases the camo.&nbsp; And the red jeans and brown (or camel?) topper.&nbsp; Red is a fun color, bright but not too bright. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1165727 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 15:32:44 +0000 Suz 1165727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! I'm honoured you copied me, although I never ended up wearing mine out of the house, either -- and have since donated the pants to MaryK, having decided they just aren't "me."&nbsp;</p> <p><b>YOU</b>, however, wear colour super well. My faves here are 4 and 7.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1165681 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 14:49:50 +0000 Sara L. 1165681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new sweaters are great! &nbsp;#1 looks perfect with that outfit and #3 doesn't look dated at all. &nbsp;I love the scarf in #4 and the sharp colors in #7. &nbsp;The arm warmers in #6 are fun and I'm glad they lifted your spirits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1165676 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 14:47:31 +0000 Jaime 1165676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all really good outfits! The only one I hesitate endorsing is #5. I think I would like it better without the jacket (of course this is not taking the temperature into account). The rest are terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1165637 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 14:07:42 +0000 amiable 1165637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - Thanks everyone! &nbsp;I do need to be more consistent about carving out time to post here (if only because it's SO MUCH EASIER to find outfits again if you only have one per post)....</p> <p>The Suz copycat wasn't really bad in my opinion, it just got rejected because I was trying to decide whether to wear it or the burgundy/gray in #4. &nbsp;The burgundy/gray won - especially based on my husband's vote. &nbsp;He felt that the colors of #5 were kinda haphazard.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1165615 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 13:32:28 +0000 Neel 1165615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rumpled where?! :). You look lovely in all the pics!! The first thing I noticed was your bookending skills with scarves and shoes! Just perfect. The Suz copycat outfit is truly good! Not sure why you didn't like it. Great color combo!</p> <p>The last outfit is just stunning! Cobalt is really your color </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1165612 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 13:28:26 +0000 El Cee 1165612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and have really honed your style. I love your new chunky cream sweater (#1). It looks fab paired with the&nbsp;camo pants. Outfit #7 sends me over the moon… stunning! And --&nbsp;You really rock those tomato red skinnies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1165475 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 06:17:54 +0000 Jeanie 1165475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to see your posts. &nbsp;Something about #3 strikes me...maybe the reds and cream.....very pretty. &nbsp;And #7 looks so fun. &nbsp;I like how the scarf is off to the side..fab detail! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1165455 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 05:39:17 +0000 Beth Ann 1165455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done, Amy! I have a soft spot for grey and burgundy -- that look was both fab and cozy. And the last is my favorite -- of course, you know I love white and cobalt, but I really love the bag and the dark accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1165381 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:37:06 +0000 rachylou 1165381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. You have really been working it. You've really tightened up your look. I'm way impressed. I feel so undisciplined! Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1165378 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:34:11 +0000 Deborah 1165378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I miss you outfits when you don't post regularly:)&nbsp; #1 so fab.&nbsp; Need to copy.&nbsp; #7 is so good I nearly fell of my desk chair.&nbsp; The blue is gorgeous and with the white jeans it's just a stunning look.&nbsp; I like all of these and think you are hitting your stride but it has to be said, IMHO #1 and #7 are out of the ball park. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-playing-catch-up#post-1165373 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:30:51 +0000 amiable 1165373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know it's been too long since you posted a WIW when you have to pull up your own posts to figure out what outfits you have and haven't posted. &nbsp;Yikes.</p> <p>So here's a few that apparently I haven't posted. &nbsp;(At least, I can't find them in my recent posts...)</p> <p>Here they are in order that they were worn. &nbsp;And nearly all looking a little rumpled. &nbsp;Sorry - I'm that way most of the time :)</p> <p>#1 - a replacement white "fisherman" type sweater for my too short one. &nbsp;This one is longer but not as warm, so I'm not ditching the other just yet.</p> <p>#2 Gray-out (with black Spiegel jacket)</p> <p>#3 A very creamy colored fisherman sweater with black skinnies. &nbsp;I picked up this one even though it's VERY dated because it's 100% wool and obviously not young, but not at all pilled. &nbsp;I expect it'll last a long time, and I love the warmth. &nbsp;With a shirt under it, it's not itchy for me.</p> <p>#4 burgundy skinnies and a gray sweater.</p> <p>#5 an attempted Suz copycat - tomato skinnies, cobalt sweater and brown jacket (sort of a more saturated peach/blue/brown). &nbsp;This one got rejected and not worn. &nbsp;But I don't think it's too awful.</p> <p>#6 &nbsp;tomato skinnies with navy and fun arm warmers. &nbsp;These arm warmers have single-handedly (single armedly?) lifted my winter blues. &nbsp;I suddenly love the sour brights in them.</p> <p>#7 Finally worked up to wearing my white jeans again. &nbsp;And I liked it, so I've worn this twice already this week. &nbsp;I thought I had semi-tucked to show my belt, but obviously it didn't stay.</p> <p>All comments are welcome - especially suggestions for improvement!</p> <p> </p>
