So helpful.<br /> Vix, you are right. It's probably the temperatures still calling for winter things at least to start the day that have me feeling that way.<br /> Day, thank you for sharing your reactions. I was fighting the tee in 4 all day. It is too big but the color blends well with the jacket and is a hard color to find. 5 was comfortable casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1213871 Fri, 04 Apr 2014 08:41:33 +0000 Ledonna N. 1213871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pic 6/7 I'm all for the pattern. All look great and chic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1213070 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 12:33:38 +0000 Day Vies 1213070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Given I have a similar sweater as #6&amp;7 I am already partial but when I opened the photos to see the denim stripe combo I fell in love. Wow I really love that combination. #1 is definitely my kind of outfit. I love the jacket and the striped top with the wide leg on the jeans. It looks nautical and spring-like. #2 I like them muted tones proportions and easy chic feel of the outfit. It definitely makes me long for warmer weather. #3 is repeat worthy. </p> <p>There is a juxtaposition between #s 4 and 5 I find interesting. I admit my bias against too much slouch however to my eye the fit issue is negated by the crisp white. The muted tones in #4 don't work well for me with the slouch -- I am amazed at the difference in my reaction to these two outfits based on color because the fit seems about the same in both. Amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1212967 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 05:12:18 +0000 Vix 1212967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Joy --</p> <p>Trying and succeeding, I'd say! </p> <p>I don't know how you got those trouser jeans to look so perfect on you but I'm envious. Love what you've paired them with, and also love #2 for a whole different type of denim look.</p> <p>All your choices look great and hey -- does style always have to be "going somewhere?" Can't it just look good going nowhere fast? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1212910 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 04:01:19 +0000 Jaime 1212910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in those light tops!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1212751 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 02:00:49 +0000 Caro in Oz 1212751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) Darn weather - we are still having summer temps here grr. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1212734 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 01:48:12 +0000 MsLuna 1212734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favourite! And wow... That outfit is a copy of a copy???? Impressive!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1212729 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 01:45:20 +0000 Anonymous 1212729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for your replies!<br /> Carter, I think this is the first time I've tried a half tuck, but the blouse was difficult to tuck at all. I ended up doing a full tuck, but the back part kept escaping.<br /> April, this is pretty radical pattern mixing for me and not one person said anything which probably means that no one liked it. I did the same mix about a year ago but buttoned the cardigan. That seemed more successful.<br /> Inge, out are so kind and encouraging. The v neck over the white tee was very comfortable and just the right weight for the day. I was thinking column of white with a third piece.<br /> Suz, it has sometimes been warming up to jean rolling temperatures at mid-afternoon, but I have to confess that I wore sheer nude stockings under the jeans for more warmth. It's too cold for bare legs and feet.<br /> Thank you, Celeste, Ingunn, MsMaven, and Runcarla, for your kind words.<br /> Lyn, those loafers are lighter toned blush in real life. The belt is too long but I love the blush color.<br /> Caro, you are right that the weather messes with my mind. I 'm wearing old round toe shoes in some of these because I didn't want to ruin my newer pointy toed shoes in the rain and mud.<br /> Aida, thank you. I'm working on finding low heeled pointy toe pumps that are comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1212588 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 23:42:10 +0000 Aida 1212588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really enjoying these lighter looks! I am especially fond of #1, 2, and 5. I'd like to see trendier footwear with #3, even something as simple as pointier pumps. I prefer #7 to #6, the additional layers are much more visually interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1212504 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 21:50:22 +0000 Caro in Oz 1212504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look great Joy. If I start feeling meh about my style I find some new shoes usually fix the problem Love the first outfit &amp; would love to see it with some pointed toes, if your feet like them&nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1212502 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 21:44:20 +0000 Carla 1212502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The stripes and floral in 6/7 is so freakin' appealing!

WOW.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1212446 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 20:45:16 +0000 Inge 1212446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Joy, I've never seen you looking anything but fabulous. All these outfits are modern with on trend touches, and extremely stylish. Perhaps you are just getting a little bored with your colder weather items? I especially love outfit 1: the cropped white jacket is so spunky with the elegant trousers jeans and striped top. Outfit 2 with the faded denim, pink, blush and burgundy, such beautiful colour palette that looks extra wonderful with your hair. And outfit 5 with the white and light grey, always a fab Spring colour combo in my book, and I love the V-neck layered over the tee. The pattern mixing in outfit 6 makes me happy too, it's gorgeous (and what a beautiful cardi and button-down).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1212411 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 19:45:51 +0000 April 1212411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, love seeing your outfits, Joy. &nbsp;</p> <p>I just tried to click back through your pictures to choose a favorite, and I love 1 - 5 equally. &nbsp;I have yet to acquire a taste for pattern mixing so I rate 6 /7 slightly lower, but that's just personal taste. &nbsp;You'll get better input from our pattern mixing experts. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1212403 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 19:33:25 +0000 carter 1212403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always look so pretty! My faves are 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6. I know I'm late to the party on the semi-tuck (which I now love), but I still really don't get the half-tuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-still-trying-to-bring-some-spring-into-outfits#post-1212372 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 18:43:56 +0000 Anonymous 1212372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a mish mash of recent outfits formed from my spring closet. It's still chilly, and you have seen much of this before. I'm not sure that my style is going anywhere. 1 is my copy of Amiable's copy of Suz. It features old trouser jeans. 3 is an open weave pullover over a sheath dress. 6/7 shows tucked and half tuck. Suggestions and comments are welcomed! </p>
