Mine were from Bass but I've not been able to find them anywhere now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962381 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 20:51:11 +0000 Karie 962381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #2 are great, but I think the tee in #3 and #4 can go - it looks too big. I like the maxi skirt - maybe wear it with a more structured top. As for the culottes in #4, I'd also like to see them with a structured top - if they don't work with that, then perhaps keep them for around the house wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962320 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 17:14:40 +0000 bj1111 962320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love #1...that is all!</p> <p>ok...there's more, i also like #3 with the maxi-ish look. &nbsp;i really like this. &nbsp;so easy and casual and says summer's here to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962284 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 16:03:45 +0000 Helena 962284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with the comments that just a bit of remixing will make 3 and 4 work - more fitted tanks with the bottoms, or slim pants and a 1/2 tuck with the tee. Summer dressing is tricky!! Love look #1 - sleek and classic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962281 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 15:53:52 +0000 Anonymous 962281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Rachy, too much fabric in 3 and 4. 1 and 2 are fab though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962274 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 15:41:04 +0000 amiable 962274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks All! &nbsp;</p> <p>Suz - yes, I think I'm just wanting more variety (or better options for the current) in my summer silhouettes. &nbsp;And all my summer clothes are pre-ylf. &nbsp;I'm much pickier now &nbsp;But it's fun to see the progress I've made when I try on clothes and can pinpoint why I don't like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962265 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 15:27:57 +0000 texstyle 962265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, 1 and 2 are great!&nbsp; If the plaid shirt had less of a straight hemline it would be even better. A rounded shirttail hem I think. Or semi-tuck.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962259 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 15:12:28 +0000 donnat 962259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I like the tee in 3 and 4. Try it with skinny jeans and the half tuck.<br /> I also like the long skirt and think it would be great with something more fitted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962235 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 14:27:33 +0000 Suz 962235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ami, I think you look sensational in #1 and the furthest thing from frumpy. #2 is a good casual at home outfit!&nbsp;</p> <p>But I hear you about summer dressing. This is my constant nemesis for the next few months. I go around looking basically like you look in #2. And there is nothing wrong with it, and it's practical for my life. But it feels...frumptastic! I have been playing with some different silhouettes in the hopes of finding a remedy. I'll try to post outfits in the next few weeks and maybe we can brainstorm together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962119 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 04:06:15 +0000 Lantana 962119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in #1 and #2 looks like an easy breezy go to for a hot summer's day.<br /> The volume on volume of #3&amp;4 is swamping your figure. Partnering one voluminous item with a trim top or bottom might give a better line, eg, I can see the culottes working well with the white top from #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962114 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 03:53:07 +0000 Anonymous 962114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first outfit looks great with no frump at all. Outfit #2 looks like something cool for hot days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962109 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 03:19:30 +0000 Marley 962109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you - those cullottes are so frumpy that they are cool!&nbsp; I'd wear them with a more structured top and enjoy!&nbsp; Also, love #1 - you look great in those white jeans and I like the length of the cuffs!&nbsp; The tee in #3 and 4 perhaps could easily be converted to pj's?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962107 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 03:10:51 +0000 Sanet 962107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look stunning in #1 and I like #2 as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962101 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 02:53:40 +0000 Beth Ann 962101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another big thumbs up for #1!&nbsp; The column of white is fab, and actually quite slimming.&nbsp; #2 is good, too.&nbsp; I think the modern color an playfulness in the shoes kicks it up a notch.&nbsp; #3 &amp; 4:&nbsp; I like the skirts, try with a little more shape and structure in the tops, perhaps, and you're good to go.</p> <p>I know about Summer dressing --- so much harder to be ready for my real life and still feel fab! Unlike you, I don't have that California glow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962040 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 23:58:00 +0000 Angie 962040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #2 are great! They don't look frumpy to me at all. You rock your white jeans! Glad you were reunited with them after your trip </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962037 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 23:55:00 +0000 Jules 962037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is great, #2 is good, but I'll be frank - I think the T in 3/4 can go, it is not good enough for you. In addition to being too big/shapeless, is it a bit unevenly faded? That could be the camera. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962020 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 23:40:31 +0000 rachylou 962020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is really cute. I say too much fabric in #3 &amp; 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-frumps#post-962016 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 23:31:32 +0000 amiable 962016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a few WIWs from the past few days. &nbsp;I've been having frumpiness issues - everything I try looks frumpy. &nbsp;So I keep changing. &nbsp;It's fun purging at least :)</p> <p>#1 worn out on a date with my hubby. &nbsp;I'm wearing the white jeans a bit higher than usual, and rolled. &nbsp;I have a vacation-induced pot belly too.</p> <p>#2 a shirt that came out of probation today to get worn - it was nice and easy breezy. &nbsp;I think it'll stay for a little while longer.</p> <p>#3 T-shirt and maxi-skirt. It may as well be pajamas....</p> <p>#4 Same Tee as #3 but with culottes. &nbsp;Somehow these culottes are so frumpy they're cool to me, and I like them. &nbsp;Not to mention they're so comfy. &nbsp;Perhaps I should just save them for working out or sleeping? </p>
