I hope that she is on the mend.<br /> You look like a model in your summer jackets. I especially like 1 and 3 and love that pick-up sticks top.

Unfortunately CH ballet wedges are not comfortable for me :-(<br />I also prefer high vamp shoe with bootcuts so no break between the shoe and the hem. It is a hard order to fill for 1.5" heel!

It looks like it is going to be a long road for her Thank you for your good wishes for my poor kitty!<br />Beth Ann - you see what I see in those BF jeans. Yep, they are heading to the end of our time together...<br />Elizabeth - diabetic pet must be a handful to care for! If my sturdy and healthy kitty takes the flu so badly I can only imagine how hard it would be for your pet. Please keep him safe!<br />Lisa, yes - I need a summer shoes for the bootcuts but not sandals because I usually freeze in them at work. They also have to have 1.5" heel only due to the inseams...and I would prefer pointy toe (which I cannot find for myself) or at least almond.&nbsp;<br />lyn67, it is funny but the shape of this grey bag was what attracted me in the first place :-)<br />Viva and Jackie - thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1309840 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 14:30:53 +0000 lyn67 1309840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a gorgeous week(again) Sveta!!! And, it's always a delish to see your wiws.(Hope the kitty is better now!),. The first 3 are absolutely gorgeous and and stylish, and strong, and bold, and fab, and ALL! They are such perfections., hardly can say a word. I love the last one, too---but I can see (and relate) with the problem on the white jeans-I hate when this happens, and hope you can replace them soon, as it's a great outfit! BTW, aggree about the love of that grey bag! It was a great buy. My concern was never the color, but the somehow stumpy&nbsp;&nbsp;shape&nbsp;and more&nbsp;structure of&nbsp;a satchel&nbsp; bag like this (only to be carried down&nbsp;in your hands).&nbsp; But it works so well with your frame and wardrobe.&nbsp; YLF!:-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1309764 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:13:00 +0000 Lisa 1309764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope kitty is doing better.<br />#1-Great that you pinpointed the issue, too much knit in one look. &nbsp;I don't think I'd enjoy an all knit look either, it would feel like PJ's to me.</p> <p>#2-This yellow blazer is such a happy blazer, a great color. &nbsp;It sounds like you need to find a summer shoe for these jeans. &nbsp;I like wedge sandals for a little height for bootcut jeans for the summer.</p> <p>#3-The little bit of print with the white bottoms is a nice look. &nbsp;And another fun colored blazer, you have a great collection of blazers!</p> <p>#4-Too bad about the jeans, but now you have a reason to shop for new one's which is always fun.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1309762 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 13:11:00 +0000 Elizabeth P 1309762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goodness, I could have sworn I commented on this - maybe I just read it in a busy time and didn't get back.&nbsp; I did just want to say that you look AMAZING and I'm also totally copying outfit #1 sometime this week.</p> <p>Sorry about your kitty, and I hope she's getting better.&nbsp; Our fella is diabetic, so whenever he's acting slightly tired, or not eating, I really really wish he could tell me if it's just the heat, or if he's feeling "off"!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1309745 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 12:38:16 +0000 viva 1309745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sveta! I hope little kitty is doing better today. :(</p> <p>I love #1, but #2 for me is classic Sveta. Your stature really comes through in this one, and no one wears a button down and long jeans like you. Just a fantastic look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1309740 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 12:33:36 +0000 Beth Ann 1309740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greetings, Sveta!&nbsp; You're looking so beautiful this summer.&nbsp; So sorry to hear kitty is under the weather!</p> <p>I hear you on the importance of the third piece --- preferably a jacket.&nbsp; I'm loving knit jackets, or wovens with lots of stretch, right now, but I'm not finding marvelous ones in the stores at the moment.&nbsp; If I were in an office 5 days a week, that would be my favorite formula point.&nbsp; Your lighter color jackets have freshened up your summer classics beautifully!</p> <p>So sorry about the shoe situation -- the one frustrating element of wearing bootcuts.&nbsp; And I agree about the white pants.&nbsp; Love 'em, but the rear view isn't draping quite ideally for bfs -- the fabric is probably a bit on the light side, with too much stretch, to work beyond a healthy relaxed fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1309588 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 04:27:47 +0000 jackiec 1309588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope your kitty is doing better - poor little thing!<br /> All of your outfits are outstanding as usual. I really need to study every element b/c they are SO well put together. My fav is #1 - soft, drapey, but with structure. LOVE!!! Keep sharing - it's very inspirational </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1309129 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 20:29:50 +0000 Sveta 1309129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies for your kind words! Sorry I did not have time to reply earlier but my weekend was so busy with cuddling poor Tigra and hosting a small informal birthday party for our friend.<br />Also thanks a lot for sending good wishes to my kitty. Unfortunately I don't have good news about Tigra yet :-(&nbsp; She is stil tired and does not eat much. On the good side though it looks just like a flu&nbsp; (never knew cats can get flu like people with fever, running nose and sore throat!) and like for people there is no cure, the virus has to run its course...hopefully your healing vibes help!<br /><b>Suz</b>, yes on PJ feeling for home clothing! You managed to get you work from home wardrobe to that comfort level and in the same time retain your killer style to perfection!<br /><b>AJ,</b> I know, right? Actually this summer is very cool so I often wear jackets outdoors too and don't feel hot at all. Unheard of in July in this part of Canada!<br /><b>Christieanne</b>, this VC tube skirt is still my favorite. Its very tapered shape does help to create structure and it is great for summer. <br /><b>dianthus</b>, I did not even think that this dove satchel maybe too formal for the last outfit: I just tried it and liked how it looked: telling you how non-analytical I am when dressing! He-he on the pans which fit: because those are quite loose on me now. I guess the pictures hide it. <br /><b>Karie,</b> I think that when jeans were fitting on the loose side to begin with (like BF) even 5 pounds are enough for them to get too loose. <br /><b>Angela K</b>, I hope to see your version with the moto jacket.<br /><b>Kyle,</b> actually I chopped off 2" off those BF jeans last year so I can roll them up higher. They were of that awkward length on me - too short for full length and too long for rolling up without much bulk. If I find any I will let you know - and you do the same, please. We tall gals have to stick together!<br /><b>Katie</b>, It is funny that I don't have a leather moto jacket but now have them in pother fabrications: denim, cotton (navy) and wool cobalt. All are from Gap - it was pretty good for moto jacket selection last year. Have you tried any of them? They all come in petite as well.<br /><b>Windchime</b>, he-he, I need to buy much more for a season to make outfits from ALL new items The bag is a workhorse for me for sure, especially for summer. i would love to add a white bag as well but for now this dove grey color works really well for me as a pastel.<br /><b>Angie</b>, the credit should go to you because you inspire me (sometimes I feel that I just copy cat you in everything I wear&nbsp; - and I have no shame in it )<br />I am glad the lime jacket stayed, it looks beautiful on you in really "Angie" color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1308946 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 16:12:07 +0000 Angie 1308946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chiming in fast to say you rock my style world, Queen Summer Jacket.

It'd be so much easier if they could tell us what's going on, wouldn't it?!</p> <p>I like seeing your recent purchases mingling with familar pieces. The shirt in #1 and #3 is a winner every time you style it, and you look beautiful in the pastel colors in #4 . Glad you're enjoying the dove bag, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1308253 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 19:59:16 +0000 MsLuna 1308253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, it's lovely seeing you here again! Loving all your outfits, but I'm especially impressed you have two fabrications of moto jackets!!im such a fan of them yet it's so hard to find one that fits! </p> <p>I'm also loving that white shirt in #1. The cut and pattern just works. Love how you combined it with stripes and the moto! Ladylike edgy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1308246 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 19:55:39 +0000 citygirldc 1308246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love every single outfit on you.

Clean lines and a crisp sensibility always, always work for you. The leopard shoes are a brilliant touch. You have had good luck expanding your footwear!&nbsp; I love you in both the Zara blazers. </p> <p>Yes, you are swimming in those white bottoms, aren't you? If you find new white boyfriends that are long enough please let me know -- I've been on the hunt for months. </p> <p>You look fab, as always. I agree that photos help us hone our style and feel fab more consistently. I'm sorry about your Tigra. Get well soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1308029 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 15:12:23 +0000 Eliza 1308029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Best to your cat, Sveta. </p> <p>While scrolling through your photos, I felt like it could have been a magazine spread. Your pieces play so well together and your proportions are gorgeous. Love the striped skirt combo and the white shirt with denim is stunning. Your jackets do make a difference. I use them to add structure to my over-sized looks also. </p> <p>So happy the dove satchel stayed with you. Talk about an elegant work horse.</p> <p>Hope things resolve quickly in a positive direction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1307987 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 14:30:35 +0000 Urbanfae 1307987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poor Tigra! Hope she feels better soon. I completely understand about the structure and think your jackets really pull the rest of the ensem together. My favorite is that lovely orchid sweater. And keeping the bag was a very good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1307979 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 14:23:43 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1307979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sending healing thoughts to your dear Tigra! &nbsp;I love your weekly outfits and when I worked loved jackets year round for the AC... &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1307975 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 14:20:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1307975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sending healing vibes to poor Tigra.</p> <p>What a killer week Sveta.

I love the pattern mixing in #1, and I understand your need for adding more structure by way of a jacket. I would do the same.</p> <p>I also hear you on the Kut jeans - mine are feeling too baggy this year too, even though I've only lost about 5 pounds, go figure.</p> <p>I'm glad you kept that dove satchel - it's gorgeous, just like you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-jackets-are-my-essentials#post-1307931 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 13:23:41 +0000 anne 1307931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, you look like a fashion plate!!
