My favorites are 1, 5 and 6, but they all look nicely pulled together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-963242 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 09:57:00 +0000 lyn67 963242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Khirsta!&nbsp; I love 1 and 5 the best! Yellow is such a cheery color, love it (and want me too) in a yellow cardi. YLF in all your outfits, also love very much&nbsp;the 6 and 7 Great job with that lace tank! and all:-)<u></u> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-963181 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 03:57:11 +0000 Nicola 963181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read your earlier post about your uber casual epiphany, and it is *exactly* what I have been thinking about too. I live in yet another really quite casual place and I'm actively working on dressing down but still dressing fab.</p> <p>So I have loved seeing the looks you've come up with. The pink and yellow together are such a happy combination and the stripes in 6 are wonderful. Thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-963117 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 02:13:17 +0000 catgirl 963117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at all that color!&nbsp; You are reminding me of all my favorite Indian outfit combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-963058 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 00:48:43 +0000 Jaime 963058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say #3, #5 and #7 are my favorites -&nbsp;sunny yellow is a great signature color for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-962924 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 20:38:09 +0000 Krista 962924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone, especially for the comments on the yellow cardi and wearing yellow in general. &nbsp;I love the cardi&nbsp;too, although, admittedly, there is a wide ribbed band at the wrist that has stretched out so much that scrunching sleeves cannot happen. &nbsp;So I basically roll the sleeves to my elbows and scrunch from there. &nbsp;Glad to hear it's working!</p> <p>Lantana - I agree that a break&nbsp;in hemlines in tops/toppers works better and provides more&nbsp;... depth, shall we say? &nbsp;It's perhaps not the right word, but I do hear what you are saying!&nbsp;</p> <p>Wendi1984 - I purchased the skirt at Cleo. &nbsp;It's the store where I have bought pretty much every item I'm wearing in these photos except for what I'm wearing in Pic 2 and the bottoms in pics 1 and 6. &nbsp;I buy from their Petites line and I can pretty much buy off the rack in my size. &nbsp;Which has never ever happened in my life! :)</p> <p>Thanks again, everyone! It's good to know my summer style is working out as I will be on SYB for the rest of the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-962903 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 20:07:41 +0000 CocoLion 962903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love you in yellow! &nbsp;So my favorites are 1,5 and 7. &nbsp;But I also like #2 the sweats outfit, because as casual as it is, all of the proportions and details are perfect. &nbsp;It's right out of a photo shoot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-962896 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 20:02:44 +0000 Suz 962896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's true, isn't it, Christianne - the yellow cardi is so fresh on Krista.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-962814 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 16:20:37 +0000 christieanne 962814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am inspired now to want a yellow cardi! Lovely with the lace tank and such a fun shade for summer. I love #1 and #3. Simple but the colors keep things interesting and the shapes are modern. Looks like you are ready to shine this summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-962812 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 16:15:32 +0000 Anonymous 962812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your summer style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-962804 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 16:03:44 +0000 Glory 962804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these for you.

I love the bright colors. Where did you get the pink pencil skirt? It looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-962581 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 04:26:31 +0000 Lantana 962581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous summer style, Krista. You wear yellow so well, lucky you. That little cropped cardi is adorable.<br /> Even in ultra casual as in #2 you have a zing to your look.<br /> I think the outfits with a third piece look best when there's a break in the hemlines between the under and upper layers. Does that make sense? So I find #1&amp;#5 more appealing than #4.<br /> Great that your wardrobe is working for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-962580 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 04:18:49 +0000 Anonymous 962580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all these outfits and look wonderful in bright color.

And #6 is an extremely good casual look for you. So chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-962237 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 14:31:12 +0000 Suz 962237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krista, you look terrific! You've definitely hit your stride with the casual outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have exactly the same experiences with unexpected workhorses. And often they are surprising -- something bright, something textured. It becomes the item you reach for all the time even if you have other items in the same silhouette. I love your lace tank and pink skirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>My faves here are the casual #1 and the dressier #3!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-962232 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 14:21:51 +0000 Anonymous 962232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so interesting about the accidental workhorses! &nbsp;You look fantastic in yellow. &nbsp;The yellow sweater, pink skirt combo is my fave! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-962230 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 14:19:49 +0000 Mona 962230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the cream lace tank. It is so lovely on you and what a nice workhorse it has been. My favourites are #1 and 6 and the brown bag is functional and chic. I want to find me a cream lace top asap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-spring-workhorses-and-super-casual#post-962219 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 14:11:08 +0000 Krista 962219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning YLF,<br />Here are some outfits that I've worn over the past month - ranging from super casual to work outfits. &nbsp;A few of these items are wardrobe workhorses and, interestingly enough, I bought them without any intention of them being that way. &nbsp;They were just supposed to be wardrobe&nbsp;fillers but have proven themselves to be favorite items. &nbsp;In particular, the cream lace tank in Pics 1,4 and 5 gets regular outings, as does the pink pencil skirt in Pics 3 and 5. &nbsp;The brown cross-body bag in Pics 2 and 6 was also just intended to fill out a wardrobe hole but it's become my weekend purse because it's so lovely.</p> <p>I've also been working on my casual/super casual outfits since my revelation here:<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revelation-%E2%80%93-a-super-casual-capsule-long">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....psule-long</a>. Pics 1, 2 and 6 are just some versions of what I've been wearing. &nbsp;Pics 1 and 6 were for casual days at work (I just noticed the similar color palettes!) and Pic 2 was thrown on one Saturday morning to pick up coffee and croissants.</p> <p>I'd love any feedback you have to offer! Thanks and have &nbsp;a great weekend! </p>
