You're probably not a twirly skirt kind of girl, but I think #4 would look cute with one. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-orphans#post-931706 Tue, 14 May 2013 01:39:43 +0000 Jaime 931706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well actually I would want to see the floral top without the jacket before you let it go. I like the black band. I like the tops in #3 and #4 but the capris have to be narrowed and/or shortened and/or replaced. Not sure about the paisley top. Your good natured smile should stay! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-orphans#post-931666 Tue, 14 May 2013 01:10:10 +0000 Karie 931666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would let #1 go. Number 2 looks good the way you've styled it. Number 3 is my fav and I think it would look great with blue, red, green, just about any color bottoms. I'm a polka dot gal so you know I love #4. As for the capris, I would definitely taper the legs. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-orphans#post-931633 Tue, 14 May 2013 00:22:42 +0000 Krista 931633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #4 is my fave, but I am a sucker for polka dots. &nbsp;But even with that, it's super cute and you look really happy in it. &nbsp;I agree with the decision to taper the cropped pants.<br /><br />I like the top in #3 and would wear it with dark denim jeans - skinny, flared, cropped - you choose. &nbsp;White denim would also work. &nbsp;Maybe your red jeans as well? Also, what if you tapered the legs and cut them off to&nbsp;make the pants into bermuda shorts? You might have more versatility there. &nbsp;I do not have mad sewing skills like you so I'm not sure if that is even possible! :)<br /><br />In #2 the outfit is good but you could also&nbsp;swap out the runners with the red flats in #4 for an additional outfit idea. &nbsp;The orange shirt is definitely sharp and has lots of possibilities.<br /><br />#1 is okay but does not compare to the possibilities in all of the other pics. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-orphans#post-931502 Mon, 13 May 2013 21:32:13 +0000 Niefern 931502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the top in #3 and I like the whole outfit in #4.<br />By the way, your hair is looking great, I think it really suits you!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-orphans#post-931393 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:32:02 +0000 rachylou 931393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you've done a great job styling all these piece in all these outfits. Hands down, #3 is the most polished look. #4 I enjoy the most; it's just so happy. The floral tank's a bit short, but you've handled that right by layering; so but still, might be nicer to have something that you didn't have to work at. #2 looks easy and fresh.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-orphans#post-931364 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:12:45 +0000 Thistle 931364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #3 is the far and away the best, IMHO.&nbsp; I think ti could be styled a lot of ways. It is patterned but neutral in color. Perhaps with a pair of black capris and sandals for a dressy look. White jeans would look fab with it too.<br /><br />I think #1 can go assuming you have other garments. Otherwise, I would look to replace it.<br /><br />#2 is tough. It doesn't seem to fit in your normal style rubric. It it would look nice with a cami underneath and some flowy linen pants or a skirt.<br /><br />#4 is fun and I would love to see it with white jeans and those red shoes.&nbsp; You rock jeans!<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-orphans#post-931354 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:02:15 +0000 texstyle 931354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am in agreement with Ceit on these. &nbsp;<br /><br />I like how you used color in #4 - I think this is a great way to achieve your goal of incorporating lots of color in an outfit and it looks very stylish on you this way. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-orphans#post-931353 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:02:02 +0000 amiable 931353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Kate - <br /><br />Suggestions for styling the top in #3?&nbsp; I like it too - but can only think of it with black and beige.&nbsp; Maybe blue jeans?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-orphans#post-931346 Mon, 13 May 2013 17:54:11 +0000 Anonymous 931346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the floral tank can go.<br /><br />The shirt in 2, is the best I have seen you style it!<br /><br />Keep the top in 3, but the capris should go -- they don't do you any favours and the colour is kind of meh.<br /><br />Polkadot top is fun!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-orphans#post-931344 Mon, 13 May 2013 17:51:08 +0000 amiable 931344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ With the sudden warm weather, I'm trying out various summer looks.&nbsp; <br /><br />Most of these outfits are utilitarian - for taking a walk (#2), or for having a garage sale (#1).&nbsp; But also most of my summer clothes are "orphans", in that I didn't wear them last year, and I have no real idea of how to wear them.&nbsp; So I thought I'd get your input :)<br /><br />#1 The floral tank is short and boxy, but I like the colors and don't really have a lot of summer tops yet.&nbsp; Is it worth keeping?&nbsp; These jeans, I think I like better rolled - boyfriend style.<br /><br />#2 The paisley shirt is still kind of a mystery to me.&nbsp; Here it's with blue jeans to walk with a friend.&nbsp; Her hubby thought I'd lost weight (which I've gained, not lost), so maybe it's thinning?&nbsp; I suspect the jeans need hemmed?<br /><br />#3 I never wore this tribal top last year.&nbsp; This year I like it.&nbsp; Worn with Soul-sucking beige capris.&nbsp; Should either or both stay?&nbsp; I think I should narrow the legs of the capris if they stay.&nbsp; Is the color okay?<br /><br />#4 The polka-dot top that I thought should be for winter but was just too cold.&nbsp; Coming out to play in Spring now, and I like it.&nbsp; I think I'll narrow the legs of the capris.<br /><br />Sorry for the focus issues - I'm learning the ropes on a new camera - a mothers day present!<br /><br />Suggestions?&nbsp; Please feel free to tell me to ditch any/all of these :)<br />
