My pleasure, <b>Jules</b>. LOVE hearing how fashion and style is coming together for you, that you're having fun, and bonding over it with your DDs.&nbsp;</p> <p>Forgot to say that you look fabulous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-socks-and-an-actual-outfit-too#post-1964500 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 19:52:13 +0000 Jules 1964500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much Angie! I really feel like everything I’ve learned here is finally culminating this season, because I love so many of the current trends AND have the knowledge and confidence to recognize the pieces I will wear and create outfits. Having fun shopping with my daughters is another aspect of that. It’s all due to you, your site and its members :)<br /> I will definitely look for some fun fishnet and floral socks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-socks-and-an-actual-outfit-too#post-1964485 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 19:24:44 +0000 Angie 1964485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun pattern mix in #1, <b>Jules</b>. Good bookending. Looking very 2018. Love that you tucked your top. That's <i>the</i> look. Echoing,&nbsp;<b>Jenn</b>. Try fishnet socks too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-socks-and-an-actual-outfit-too#post-1964479 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 18:56:33 +0000 Jenn 1964479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun pattern mix! Do you like the fishnet socks trend at all? That would be fun with that outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-socks-and-an-actual-outfit-too#post-1964474 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 18:33:34 +0000 Jenni NZ 1964474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes it's lovely seeing their taste develop. You will have fun with that in the next few years!<br /> As far as socks for that outfit, the safe choice is just navy ones that match the Oxfords. But if you could find any, I would pick out some floral ones similar to your top and wear those.<br /> In years past, about 2009, when wearing my 80s Mondi jersey which is very bright( pic below) I had these socks which had bright butterflies on in similar bright colours which I wore with it and which showed, I got a lot of positive comments even though it was all a bit crazy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-socks-and-an-actual-outfit-too#post-1964470 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 18:12:56 +0000 Jules 1964470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Thanks Jenni! It is really fun shopping for both my daughters right<br /> now. I can't share with my 8yo yet but I did buy a Zara top inspired by<br /> one we found there for her. I think I actually like the kid's one better but I am enjoying mine too And I think it makes her feel really good that I sought out something based on her taste.<br /></div><div>Also seeking suggestions for what types of socks to buy to wear with the trousers outfit. I went bare ankled that day but it's getting chillier<br /> here.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-socks-and-an-actual-outfit-too#post-1964464 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 17:44:34 +0000 Jenni NZ 1964464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute yellow Adidas! And the other outfits look great. I enjoyed those years of buying for the young women in their teens and sharing the odd bit of clothing. When my older one was 21 she got tired of some $10 boots she had bought which I loved and was secretly jealous of. She handed them down to me and I wore them happily about another two years!<br /> I got them to buy their own clothes from 18, with occasional help from me but none promised. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-socks-and-an-actual-outfit-too#post-1964461 Fri, 12 Oct 2018 17:32:22 +0000 Jules 1964461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really having fun with fashion these days for a few reasons. First of all, I’m excited about the return of socks (but I don’t really own any anymore other than basic black because they were out for so long!) At the same time, I’m in a sweet zone where my 12 yo daughter is the same shoe size as me, and we share some of our tastes as well. Today she wore my off white leather converse because they went better with her 90s vintage LaCoste sweatshirt, so I got to wear the yellow adidas I bought her because I secretly wanted them. And I wore them with my pants rolled up to show my socks, which do have a subtle stripe not apparent in this photo. Obligatory pigeon toe pose Never would have thought I’d leave the house like this but wasn’t going far or fancy.<br /> 2 and 3 photos, new items this year from Simons and Zara that I think capture a current look, and anyway I love them to death. Worn with older patent navy oxfords that just happened to work. </p>
