I love this simple, relaxed chic look that is so you. The black and tan shades are great on you, and part of your signature style. Love the new sandals, and your long hair is beautiful!

I've been wearing Birkenstocks at most, and when I wear my sneakers or boots to go for a walk, I have to wear two layers of socks to avoid blisters. I'm sad to hear about Elizabeth Suzann. I've admired your system of buying a few high quality versatile things. I have too much wardrobe churn and indecisiveness to really make Elizabeth Suzann an option, but it was always my aspiration.

I’m loving how my hair behaves in the SoCal air, but I could do with six or eight inches less of it. Top of the list once I’m fully vaccinated. ZoeyGirl, try the cream if that’s what works with your routine! I use the serum because I do vitamin C in the mornings and then follow with a CC cream. I just don’t need the extra moisture. Kellygirl, it’s funny how my style looks so SoCal to everyone, because I still feel like kind of an odd (Midwestern) duck here. kellygirl on "WIW: Same Old, But Also..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-same-old-but-also#post-2186103 Mon, 12 Apr 2021 01:10:30 +0000 kellygirl 2186103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just beautiful! I love your Relaxed So Cal style! New sandals are gorgeous too! They totally fit your style!

Trying to decide between vitamin c serum (since it is tried and recommended by you) or the cream since that combines two steps in one (vitamin c + cream). Wish me luck making the decision! smittie on "WIW: Same Old, But Also..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-same-old-but-also#post-2185920 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 16:54:27 +0000 smittie 2185920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great sandals! Your hair looks great too. Jenn on "WIW: Same Old, But Also..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-same-old-but-also#post-2185913 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 16:44:50 +0000 Jenn 2185913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ slim cat, I am learning to love sandals. They haven't really been my thing in the past. shevia and Joy,  that scrunchie was in my hair within about five minutes of starting my walk.  Janet, the dress is just the right weight to be relatively trans-seasonal here, and it works great worn open as a duster too.  RobinF, easy summer dressing, for sure. Angie, tan leather with a black dress is my uniform, for sure. ZoeyGirl, I haven't used the cream, but I really like all the Mad Hippie products I've tried. I use the vitamin C serum in conjunction with the vitamin A and exfoliating ones, and my skin has definitely improved.  It's softer and smoother than it's been in years. Jonesy, thank you! Black and brown are signature for me, especially in the summer. I really miss Elizabeth Suzann.  There was something about the cut of her dresses that really took simple shapes to the next level. LaPed, I'd say maybe 300 days a year for the dresses. :) Sally, I write down what I wear each day in my calendar and then tally it up on a spreadsheet once a week or so. The crossbody is from Fossil and is easily the most used piece in my wardrobe. It's just the perfect size for daily essentials. Liesbeth, these are my essential sandals. I like that they feel kind of boho/cool girl, without being too over the top or impractical. Bijou, I got blisters on the BOTTOM of my feet, which has never happened to me before!  Aquamarine, see my comment to Bijou above. It's insanity! Aquamarine on "WIW: Same Old, But Also..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-same-old-but-also#post-2185861 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 13:17:44 +0000 Aquamarine 2185861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great dress on you! Sandals are fab, too. I’m also worried about footwear. Seriously, I’ve worn sneakers and slippers 99% of the time since shutdown last March.  Bijou on "WIW: Same Old, But Also..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-same-old-but-also#post-2185828 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 08:46:43 +0000 Bijou 2185828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So great to see you have been able to venture out and the new sandals are winners. I do hear you on feet becoming fussy, I put on a pair of previously comfy "all day in the office" pumps to wear to a 2 hour client meeting and ended up with blisters. My feet are preferring my Birks and comfy sneakers and boots. Your formula of gorgeous black dress and interesting footwear is summer dressing at its best. Liesbeth on "WIW: Same Old, But Also..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-same-old-but-also#post-2185824 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 08:36:02 +0000 Liesbeth 2185824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a winner, that dress. And I want sandals like that this summer. So cool yet go with everything. Sally on "WIW: Same Old, But Also..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-same-old-but-also#post-2185793 Sat, 10 Apr 2021 04:10:37 +0000 Sally 2185793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like the dress and think you style it well.  I was admiring the cross body bag too because I need one like that.  I'm impressed you remember how many times you wore something.  It would be a good system for working out if something has paid its way.   Anonymous on "WIW: Same Old, But Also..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-same-old-but-also#post-2185735 Fri, 09 Apr 2021 23:12:07 +0000 Anonymous 2185735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great look on you. I love the dress and new sandals. I may have to adapt to and scrunchy-on-arm look to tame wild long COVID hair. LaPed on "WIW: Same Old, But Also..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-same-old-but-also#post-2185713 Fri, 09 Apr 2021 21:13:01 +0000 LaPed 2185713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hah, I also have a semi-permanent scrunchie bracelet look going on these days! Sometimes x2, because DS also loves scrunchies and is always leaving his lying around... The new Bed-Stu's are gorgeous and just different enough. And breezy dresses 365 days/year sounds wonderful.  Jonesy on "WIW: Same Old, But Also..." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-same-old-but-also#post-2185707 Fri, 09 Apr 2021 20:35:12 +0000 Jonesy 2185707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look fab! I love the fit of the dress--it looks chic but also comfy. I love the sandals, especially with your bag. Warm brown paired with black is such a great combo!

I was thinking of trying their vitamin c night cream. Have you tried that?

The weather here has been glorious this month and we're finally coming out of the covid restrictions we've been under since a brief respite early last summer. We're still being very careful while we wait to be fully vaccinated, but a decadent drink in the park felt just right.
