And aww Betsy! Glad she's doing ok. And what beautiful wisteria </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-long#post-2020229 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 23:19:19 +0000 MsMaven 2020229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to all of you. Right after I posted yesterday a neighbor sent an email to our Next Door group about Notre Dame and from then on I was distracted watching the unfolding event.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bonnie</b>, I've added a few collared tops in the last year. For some reason it's hard to find ones that fit me well. A linen button down has worked great for a lightweight top over a tank.</p> <p><b>Jenni,&nbsp;</b>I am small boned with a narrow frame, so that change in body fat distribution has been a challenge to deal with. I'm not overweight, but I do notice that the round belly is very common among older women.</p> <p><b>Kelly,&nbsp;</b>we had several trees die or almost die from the drought. The ailing ones seem to be doing much better now.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie,&nbsp;</b>thank you!</p> <p>I'll do another post on the results of my shopping trip, and one on the turkey story. Our house was built in the grasslands on the side of a ridge and part of our land is a steep, open space. This land belonged to the wild turkeys before we built and they are not giving up on owning it, and us. We also have deer, coyotes, bob cats, California gray foxes, and there are mountain lions hanging around the creek at the bottom of the hill.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-long#post-2020199 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 20:46:14 +0000 Cardiff girl 2020199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your colourful spring outfits and your haircut is a good one,showing off your shiny hair.l am jealous of your wisteria ,mine died last year after 15years,no reason apparently they just do this sometimes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-long#post-2020123 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 14:43:31 +0000 Angie 2020123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE your hair. #1 is KILLER.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look great, and wear coral with the best of them.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-long#post-2020122 Tue, 16 Apr 2019 14:42:03 +0000 Christina F. 2020122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful!

Your bedroom window view looks like a hotel!<br /> And you don’t look pale plus you look very slim. My fave outfit is 1/2, cool jacket and great colour top underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-long#post-2019906 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 19:47:41 +0000 Bonnie 2019906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great spring outfits! I like the neutrals with the pops of bright color. I keep my hair shorter because it's hot on my neck and I solve the sun problem by wearing collars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-long#post-2019898 Mon, 15 Apr 2019 19:19:15 +0000 MsMaven 2019898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow—it’s been 4 months since I posted a photo—and 4 months since I went shopping in a B&amp;M store.&nbsp;Last year I wanted to add a lot of color—my wardrobe seemed drab. This year I’m drawn to neutrals—maybe I overdid it on strong colors. I’ve been caught in the dragnet of sales as well—how can I resist a hunted item half off?</p> <p>&nbsp;So Friday I dressed up, put on make-up, and headed out into the sunshine to the mall. DH caught me as I left and took some photos—I thought I looked pale, but he insisted I looked good.</p> <p>&nbsp;One weird thing: in the first photo I am struck by how much I look like my mother—more the expression than actual features. Never noticed it before.</p> <p>&nbsp;I had my hair trimmed the day before. I’m growing it longer for summer. My dermatologist says I’m getting too much sun on the back of my neck even though I use sunscreen there. She suggested I wear a scarf or bandana when I’m out puttering or walking—not my favorite thing in August!&nbsp;My hair is still mixed light and darker gray, sometimes it looks blonde, sometimes light brown. All natural, all grown out.</p> <p>I’ve lost some of the weight I gained in the last 2 years--all on the belly. I’ve notice in photos lately that my legs look skinnier and skinnier by comparison. This is not so obvious in these photos.</p> <p>&nbsp;##1-2 Bought this BR blazer 2 years ago. Lightweight wool, “camo floral.” I didn’t wear it much last year for&nbsp;some&nbsp;reason. Generally BR blazers fit me well. I tried on 3 different tops before I settled on the Boden poppy Tilda sweater. Nic and Zoe pull on pants, and last year’s Munro Lulu slip on sneakers.</p> <p>#3 Last year’s denim jacket and NYDJ. I think that’s a J Crew tee. Two years ago I wanted a white denim jacket, everything was too heavy or boxy on me. So this year I got this same jacket in white, on sale, Charter Club Macy’s. I look better in slightly fitted jackets. Lulu sneakers in a different color.</p> <p>&nbsp;#4 Knit Boden Blazer—I bought this in a 10 instead of an 8 because last year’s 8 now seems too snug. Despite being a knit, this is a solid, structured jacket. It’s also longer than I usually wear, so I’m figuring out the right bottoms. It will be worn a lot at night--especially for night classes. It's a bit big, but I can wear a sweater under it.</p> <p>&nbsp;##5-6 Boden corduroy jacket, size 8, &nbsp;less fitted. I love this color, &amp; it was on a big sale and discount. More like a lightweight “shorty” coat. In background next to the fence you can see is our resident turkey. She was kicked out of the flock last year, and I hope she’s been mated this year. I worry a coyote or mountain lion got her when she doesn't show up for a few days.</p> <p>#7 Betsy the turkey.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;#8 I&nbsp;wake up to this&nbsp;view out my bedroom window. Too much rain this year to do much pruning on the wisteria trailing along the back fence.</p> But, #9, it turned out well anyway. Except that I am more allergic to it this year. </p>
