I don’t see any problems or areas for improvement.<br /> The colours all work well with your hair. I think you have a way with making neutrals interesting and rich looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1991258 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 00:24:09 +0000 Carla 1991258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like a very tight capsule of mix and match coordinates. I like the brick red/rust colour used as accent. My preference is for the shorter jackets.. You do so well with accessories, Mainelady - love the arm party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1991245 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 23:42:14 +0000 Anonymous 1991245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing Suz! Love the maxi cardi in 5 and pewter boots the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1991229 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 22:38:48 +0000 Mainelady 1991229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Anchie. Yeah....my hair has more blond than silvery gray, but happily the gray is gaining. More of the silvery is on the top. I still have some dark brown patches underneath, but much of my natural gray began on top of my head. The yellow is left over from when we decided to highlight to break up the dreaded skunk stripe. Toner helps and I like it when the toner is a cooler gray silver shade, but of course it is temporary and I am only getting my hair toned every 6-8 weeks.<br /> Thank you Kkards...yeah another long legged rule breaker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990939 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 11:43:18 +0000 Cee 1990939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>**Applause** </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990938 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 11:42:41 +0000 kkards 1990938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>gosh, you look great in the long toppers...like you, i'm short but most of my height is in my legs, so i can "break the rules" about wearing longer tops....there's a kind of regalness to #5 that i love, and #4 is just perfection IMO </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990927 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 10:56:21 +0000 anchie 1990927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the best jewelry. And I could not tell that you are petit, proportions look great in both short and long versions. Color palette is also nice with your coloring, you look more blonde than gray in this pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990922 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 10:39:01 +0000 Mainelady 1990922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Joy and Shevia. I have other happiness factors, but bracelets are the largest category and I like that I can wear a few at a time. Joy, the children do enjoy my jewelry and are sure to tell me if I wear any repeats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990873 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 04:31:59 +0000 Jaime 1990873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfits with shorter jackets are my favorites, but the long ones have a certain dramatic appeal as well. I like your sentimental bangles too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990862 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 03:13:51 +0000 Anonymous 1990862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your arm candy is a great happiness factor. The children probably enjoy it too. 3 and 4 are my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990856 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 02:40:06 +0000 Mainelady 1990856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Suz. For a petite person, I have long legs (if that makes any sense). If I were standing with other people, it would quickly be apparent that I am vertically challlenged. Thank you for the comment about the colors....they do work well with Maine weather.<br /> Opaline, thank you. Almost all of my bracelets are happiness factors. They represent people, memories and stories I hold dear. For example the 3 pictured evoke memories of a shopping trip with my twin (we bought matching bracelets), a birthday gift from my twin, and a gift from my husband during a vacation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990829 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 01:11:06 +0000 Anonymous 1990829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how perfectly matched those bracelets are to your stripes! I think you always look just so very well put together. Your bracelet collection is so varied and unique. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990819 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 01:00:51 +0000 Suz 1990819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off, no matter what silhouette you wear, you <b>look</b> tall and your legs look miles long! I like the drama of the longer toppers and the smart, tailored appearance of the shorter ones. In short (or long?) you can't go wrong.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think all of these colours look good on you -- cozy and a bit earthy-- perfect for Maine winters.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990815 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 00:58:08 +0000 Helena 1990815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mainelady to me the chocolate doesn't look a bit harsh or overbearing though ... It has depth but also softness to it. The burgundy I love on you for the same reasons! Looking fab across the board! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990811 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 00:54:36 +0000 Mainelady 1990811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, thank you for your kind comments. You have me going back to look at my pictures to try to see them through your eyes.<br /> Thank you Taylor. I have almost always worn shorter jackets. Last year I began experimenting with long cardis and this year tried the midi length toppers. I am short, so didn’t think I could pull off the look. I have to admit that I enjoy the cozy of the longer layers at work.<br /> TG thank you. Yes, my eyes are dark brown, with a hint of green in certain light. It was easier to wear strong colors when I had dark hair, but those days are over. I finally reached the place in my life where I gotta be the real me.<br /> Angie, I’m kind of falling over in surprise. You are so generous with your comments. I am so appreciative. Your comments are reminding me to not be too harsh with myself. Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990790 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 00:04:53 +0000 Angie 1990790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER all round. Fun title too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm high fiving,&nbsp;<b>Taylor.</b>&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Mainelady,</b> you have never looked better. A sublime start to 2019. The palettes here are beautiful with your new golden grey bob. The longer lengths are dramatic and ethereal, and the shorter lengths are streamlined and cheeky. Jewellery matches to perfection as always. #2 and #3 are my faves. Rock on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990784 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 23:52:18 +0000 Helena 1990784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous Mainelady! My personal favorite color for you is that chocolate brown ... I love it on you (your eyes are dark right?) And in general I think you look great in rich color. Long and short toppers both work on you; enjoy the variety! The short jacket looks sportier where the longer ones have a casual-elegant vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990783 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 23:43:27 +0000 taylor 1990783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As usual I like your jewelry!<br /> I think you look fantastic in each photo , I tend to prefer you in shorter more tailored toppers . They look modern and youthful, I also like them open . Photo 3 and 4 are outstanding !<br /> Your chosen colors look great with your hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-long-and-the-short-of-it#post-1990770 Thu, 10 Jan 2019 23:10:12 +0000 Mainelady 1990770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Indecisive here. These are recent outfits. Each outfit has necessary layers, elements that I like and yes, happiness factors. I think the outfits are JFE. Clearly I coundn’t decide on a length for toppers. Lately I find myself preferring to wear toppers open.<br /> 1) close up of Happiness Factors<br /> 2) Black, white, gray and rust. Day one for winter white pants. These are straight cut cords....warmer than jeans.<br /> 3) Brown! No matter the season, I feel happy in this dark color. The vest has an attachable fur collar, but that was a little too over the top for the day. Besides, I knew the kids would want to pet me.<br /> 4) Black, white, burgundy and a little metallic sass.<br /> 5) Gray, gray, gray.</p> <p>Thanks for looking.</p> <p> Suggestions and thoughts most welcome. Are there colors you think look better with my graying hair (still a work in progress, but getting there with more silvery white and less yellow) and my winter white skin? </p>
