It's been good to see some progress after a couple of very heavy months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-formula#post-1668592 Sat, 28 May 2016 03:22:09 +0000 Beth Ann 1668592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The 90's flat mule look is made for your feet and your style, Denise! &nbsp;Your legs still look a mile long.</p> <p>Love the top on you -- I've not tried any on. &nbsp;I fear cleavage!</p> <p>Hugs to Maggie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-formula#post-1668567 Sat, 28 May 2016 02:36:15 +0000 Anonymous 1668567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit and lace up blouse look perfect for you, Denise. Sophisicated Boho. My Maggie sends yours doggie greetings.<br /> I'm always learning something new on this site. Today's lesson was how to choose a bull.

Hope she feels good real soon </p> <p>I like your simple outfit ALOT. I THINK I saw a similar top at H&amp;M and I'm considering it for myself too. It's like this amazing mix of boho &amp; modern that looks casual yet classy. Easy for summers, right? It's good to see you, Denise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-formula#post-1668539 Sat, 28 May 2016 01:02:21 +0000 Brooklyn 1668539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great top. You look fab. I also won't be doing off the shoulder because of the bra issues. But I may give the cold shoulder a go.<br /> Maggie is so sweet. I am sure you are giving her lots of love and attention. NSAIDs are very effective.<br /> And the baby goat is a cutie pie. It's a pity that goats don't smell that great </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-formula#post-1668346 Fri, 27 May 2016 19:36:55 +0000 catgirl 1668346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this!</p> <p>Baby goats are the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-formula#post-1668329 Fri, 27 May 2016 19:08:27 +0000 Anonymous 1668329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another one who is absolutely uninterested in off-the-shoulder tops too. &nbsp;I don't find them flattering at all. &nbsp;Too many old, droopy-busty, weathered and tanned women wearing them at the beach - it's scarred me for life.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-formula#post-1668305 Fri, 27 May 2016 18:27:11 +0000 rachylou 1668305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! Baby goat! </p> <p>Great outfit. I'm on the lookout for the perfect slipper mules for me. They have to be grandpa.</p> <p>I also keep eyeing lace up shirts. I'm not sure I can it pull it off this well.

The laces didn't stay pulled closed and every time I so much as moved my arms or body, I was completely exposed in the front. Not a good look &nbsp;I suppose I could have had the opening stitched closed , but I find Equipment shirts quite narrow, and that would have taken away all the ease of fit. &nbsp;Saved myself $350 or whatever it was, which is ridiculous when you think about it.</p> <p>I like my mules too, but they aren't a go-to, as much as I thought they would have been. Mine are a little wide on my foot and pretty gappy on the sides. Fine for quick errand running though. &nbsp;I'd love to find a top like your Bobeau - I had this vision of myself being cooly French in my lace-up Equipment top and have never recovered .....;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-formula#post-1668211 Fri, 27 May 2016 16:08:20 +0000 AviaMariah 1668211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your tonal outfits are always an inspiration to me. So glad Maggie is better. DH wants to add goats to our family. Luckily we don't have a ban yet so I'm holding him off. But they are adorable babies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-formula#post-1668189 Fri, 27 May 2016 15:34:46 +0000 Adelfa 1668189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I missed the post about Maggie! Glad she's a little better! Lace-up tops bring back such happy memories for me. Yours looks great.

Your outfit is Casual Trendy Farm Fashionista Fabness - like it always is. I LOVE the top on you. Glorious. Have you tried it with your flared jeans? (Sorry your camera broke).&nbsp;</p> <p>Great news about Maggie - precious sweetie pie. Sam sends licks, tail wags and playful down dogs. And I want a baby goat! ADORABLE.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-formula#post-1668148 Fri, 27 May 2016 14:10:30 +0000 texstyle 1668148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also glad to hear Maggie is doing better. And I like your formula for spring a lot!&nbsp; I can't keep mules on at all but these look great on you and I'm glad they are working out.</p> <p>Baby goats - awwwwwww!&nbsp; </p> <p>I do like lace up tops - since I ordered my first one, I'm seeing them all over the place. </p> <p>The first one I ordered was a white french terry was SO incredibly soft I almost kept it though it didn't flatter me much at all in the cut an dolman style sleeve. I decided I just wouldn't reach for it enough to justify the price tag. </p> <p>Navy is one of my all time favorite colors so the Madewell one was an easy choice and easier on the budget too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-formula#post-1668078 Fri, 27 May 2016 11:30:15 +0000 Tanya 1668078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so glad to hear Maggie is doing better and the baby goat is ridiculously cute.<br />I love the monochromatic look on you, it is very chic and sophisticated.&nbsp; I like the lace-up blouses though I am yet to try one.&nbsp; It is a good balance of boho-lite and elegant and really suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-formula#post-1668075 Fri, 27 May 2016 11:21:23 +0000 Chris987 1668075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look, I'm trying on some loafers/smoking slippers myself just now! The long column of dark but with interest is really appealing. </p> <p>Best to Maggie, dogs have their ailments just like we do, don't they! She looks very comfy and well-loved in that pic. </p> <p>And love you "accessorizing" with mama and baby goats!.

Maggie looks very comfortable in "her spot". I'm so glad she's doing better.</p> <p>Love the tone on tone of the outfit. I'm not interested in off-the-shoulder looks either, but the lace up tops are super appealing. I had a pink one back in high school that I wore all the time.

My trusty Canon Power Shot broke (so sad). &nbsp;The WIW picture was taken with my phone, using the timer and propping it up against books. &nbsp;That is another reason you haven't seen much of me lately.</p> <p>For those who are curious, Maggie is doing much better. &nbsp;She is on a permanent regime of NSAIDs for arthritis and pain meds but can take short walks again. &nbsp;She's not as eager to hop in the car though.</p> <p>Bonus pictures of the neighbors' goat who had a baby a few days ago! </p>
