Love that white jacket on you - it's a great contrast with your hair and also brings out the highlights of your hair in a really nice way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-black-and-white#post-1466243 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 11:05:18 +0000 Lucy 1466243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! From your description i was expecting blah! But you look fabulous.

I would never in a million years think you were dressing around your hips. Hips, what hips? And this is coming from a pear who often feels the same way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-black-and-white#post-1466176 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 04:32:46 +0000 Anonymous 1466176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab. The white leather jacket ups the level of everything else. Better to dress around hips, especially as they are currently in style, than around no hips but a thick midriff/stomach </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-black-and-white#post-1466137 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 02:41:33 +0000 Jaime 1466137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! I love those wrap tops and the white jacket is perfect here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-black-and-white#post-1466017 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 23:29:35 +0000 Aida 1466017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Janet! The brightness from the jacket is perfect with the dark column and silver tote. I'm also having some issues with changing outfits in the morning, mainly due to the transitional weather which is always a challenge. My shoulders salute your hips, cheers :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-black-and-white#post-1465986 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 22:31:55 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1465986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look .... Fab. I have to admit I changed pants three times today due to feeling muffin-toppy. Even though my pilates instructor made me demo the class this morning instead of her and I was ok in tight leggings then. It's the clothes!! not you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-black-and-white#post-1465983 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 22:19:44 +0000 Caro in Oz 1465983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF Janet - I'll swap your hips for my bust </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-black-and-white#post-1465928 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:54:14 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1465928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE me some black and white!

I just had another glimpse of you in that floral sheath on Una's floral thread. Good grief. Killer to the power of killer.&nbsp;</p> <p>(It's perfect leather jacket and trench coat weather here too.

A catch-22! </p> <p>You look fantastic and very much like yourself - and I don't see extra pounds anywhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-black-and-white#post-1465784 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 17:02:00 +0000 Anonymous 1465784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!!!! &nbsp;One of my favorite color combinations. &nbsp;I think you look modern and extremely well put together. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-black-and-white#post-1465783 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 17:01:19 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1465783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Janet...boy can I relate... Dressing around my hips due to weight gain myself and taking 3 outfits daily to feel right. My bowling technique is unique and I have to go around my him due to it and joked my weight gain is messing up my game.... You look fabulous! Great that the jacket was so easy to refresh. A perfect look for a day in the 60s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-black-and-white#post-1465766 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:39:10 +0000 Anonymous 1465766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great jacket and blouse Janet. &nbsp;You look as beautiful as you always do. &nbsp;I think you're right - we all have our issues, and they are usually only visible to ourselves. &nbsp; I refuse to start the list here - because god knows we could go on for ever &nbsp;I haven't had a white leather jacket in years, but this sure makes me want one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-black-and-white#post-1465764 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:37:17 +0000 viva 1465764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, i think you look terrific, Janet! I love your quick leather cleanup, and that jacket looks as fresh as ever. I hear you on having to "work around" something, but it feels so inevitable that there is some body part or emotional feeling that we have to contend with as we dress. I have to say though, that your struggle is not apparent to this viewer. Fantastic outfit and should take you all the way to your concert and then some. Have a great day! Happy spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-in-black-and-white#post-1465756 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:11:51 +0000 Janet 1465756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a welcome temperate, sunny spring-like day here, finally! Temps reaching the low 60s today, so perfect leather jacket weather. </p> <p>I'm celebrating with my white leather jacket. I pulled it out to wear it and realized that the cuffs and hem had gotten a little grubby with wear. I took a little water and dish soap on a washcloth to the spots, and voila, just as good as new! </p> <p>Lucky Brand bootcuts, Pleione wrap blouse, Old Gringo studded boots, Truth &amp; Pride jacket, and Milly silver tote. I have some errands to run today, and I'm going to a live music show at the radio station later this evening, so this outfit will take me through a lot of activity. </p> <p>I'm feeling better about dressing now that I'm back home with my "real" closet, but I am having to change outfits a couple of times before I feel like I'm hitting what I really want to wear. Feeling kind of picky/particular/fussy, for some reason. The fact that I'm feeling a little heavy right now is probably not helping. Just for one day of my life, I wish I knew what it was like to not have to dress "around" my hips! I guess other ladies feel that way about their busts, shoulders, waists, etc., huh? :-)</p> <p>Comments/criticism always welcome. </p>
