I hadn't noticed this, but I see it now in the picture. I had my hair darkened several weeks ago, so I'll pay attention to this. I'll try to take pics in daylight with a real camera the next time I wear a black top. We'll see if I still have the same issue. If so, maybe I'll lighten up again since I do love black! Thanks for pointing that out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162276 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 03:56:30 +0000 carter 1162276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Beth Ann, at least it's coming in the housing market! We were 60 degrees today, but more Winter on the way this week. I'm pleased with the love for outfit #1. This is the one that's most like the "old" me. Happy to know that it still works. And those jeans in #4 are my new faves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162270 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 03:51:46 +0000 karymk 1162270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will tell you one thing, Carter. When you wear the black sweater your hair disappears right into the black. No contrast. When you wear a color or print up top, your hair has contrast against the garment, which I think looks great. Have you seen this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162257 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 03:34:51 +0000 Beth Ann 1162257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spring is coming?&nbsp; Oh, I'm so ready, but I'm afraid I'll have a long wait here in Chicago!</p> <p>You look terrific in all of these.&nbsp; I'm partial to the silhouette in #1, and the trousers in 4.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162245 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 03:25:18 +0000 carter 1162245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Shevia. I've been trying to add more pattern to overly-solid wardrobe. Pre-YLF, there was just nothing "special" about anything in my closet, just a ton of solid colors in the same standard cuts. Really trying to branch out. I think it's helping my outfits feel complete without too much jewelry or a topper piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162211 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 02:58:49 +0000 Jaime 1162211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in graphic pieces including sweaters and those loafers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162206 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 02:54:31 +0000 carter 1162206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Susie and LACeleste! I have to say that making a concerted effort to only wear my favorite pieces makes getting dressed so much quicker...no more do-overs before I leave the house! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162172 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 02:21:20 +0000 LACeleste 1162172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful Carter! &nbsp;Very pulled together and stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162166 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 02:11:40 +0000 Susie 1162166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With this color palette, I LOVE all of these outfits! YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162157 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 02:03:11 +0000 carter 1162157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Liz A. I did end up returning the two jackets in my K/R post a few weeks ago. I have a couple that I like right now, but nothing really light enough to survive the hot flashes. I did pull out an old light weight Ellen Tracy jacket last night to take to the tailor for some updating. We'll see what she says. I would like to wear more jackets because I really feel like it finishes an outfit.</p> <p>Thank you, Toronto Girl. I'm really having fun with black and white/cream. I think I'll keep the theme going through Spring. I stopped in BR today and found two awesome pair of cropped pants that fit the theme perfectly. Also found a couple lightweight b&amp;w tops to wear with all my colored Spring/Summer pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162136 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 01:36:51 +0000 Helena 1162136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice and chic; also, you have a real signature look, which I admire. You saved the best for last IMHO ... #7 is extra-fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162131 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 01:30:30 +0000 Liz A. 1162131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you're really developing a look here. &nbsp;i like it. &nbsp;are you over your jackets? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162127 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 01:26:28 +0000 carter 1162127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, El Cee. With Angie's enabling I have definitely stocked up on knitwear this season. The only one in this batch that's more than 12 months old is #7. Since we're already warming up, perhaps I should stop now?</p> <p>Thanks, Aquamarine. I used to curl my hair all the time 20 years ago. I've either forgotten how to do it or my hair texture has really changed with age. I just couldn't manage to like how it turned out. I will try again though, because I would like to have a backup plan for bad hair days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162112 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 01:08:33 +0000 Aquamarine 1162112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week Carter! More love here for the blouse in pic 1. Also, I think your hair looks really pretty in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1162093 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 00:35:22 +0000 El Cee 1162093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific in all these outfits. You have some fab sweaters. I especially love #3. Good luck with your showings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1161897 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 20:34:22 +0000 carter 1161897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Kkards! I will happily be your agent if you ever decide to move to Atlanta! I'm really loving the black/white/cream mix in my work clothes right now. I'm thinking that really should be my work core and add bits of color here and there to give some punch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1161889 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 20:26:21 +0000 carter 1161889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Aubergine! I love the blouse in #1 too. I missed it when I was pulling together my favorites list because it was hiding in my over-stuffed closet. Time to purge again...</p> <p>Thanks, Angie T. 7 was a fun one for me, inspired by my new loafers. Unfortunately the picture was taken at the end of what turned out to be a very long day.</p> <p>Jay S, I'm glad my citron-green sweater is getting some love. It's an out-of-the-box color for me, but I fell hard for it!</p> <p>ATLynn, this is why I was in such a rush to revamp my shoe wardrobe with work-appropriate flats. Spring seems to have started a week or two early in the Atlanta real estate market. Usually the switch doesn't flip until the middle of this month.&nbsp;Hope it's a sign of good things to come.</p> <p>Thanks, Suz! The sweaters in 2 and 3 are a couple of my favorites. I bought them online at House of Fraser (UK store). I can't decide what appeals to me most...the black and ivory mix or the fact that they're so different from anything I see here. On the footwear front, I'm set for the current chilly weather. I am in quite the panic over&nbsp;warm weather&nbsp;footwear though. If it's going to be a super busy few months, I have to get at least a few sandal options figured out while I still have some time. Yesterday was the first outing for the Kate Spade black and white loafers, and they seemed to work fine for my toe. I had wanted to wear the KS pumps with yesterday's outfit but figured that a day when I knew I wouldn't get home til almost 7 was not the day for a new shoe with a bit of heel.</p> <p>CC, for the most part, I am ok with most of my footwear requirements. Although, I will say that I have not taken any of my bootleg slacks and jeans to the tailor yet. That just makes it feel so permanent. Unfortunately, the shoe situation is permanent, so I'm just going to have to suck it up and shorten my pants. Maybe I'll get that done this week.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1161878 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 20:08:41 +0000 kkards 1161878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 maybe a work at home outfit,but I'd by a house from an agent dressed like that. Seriously, I like them all. I really like how you have styled all black/white/ cream outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1161875 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 20:04:22 +0000 Classically Casual 1161875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you're making peace with your new shoes. You've done a terrific job of blending them into your outfits, yet they all hold their own and don't just disappear. Happy spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1161858 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 19:36:33 +0000 Suz 1161858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! Glad the season is picking up. My favourite here is #3. What a fun sweater!</p> <p>How are you making out on the footwear front? How is the foot feeling?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1161854 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 19:32:38 +0000 ATLynn 1161854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great.&nbsp; I'm also a big fan of #1 and love seeing all your new flats in action, especially those in #7.&nbsp; If you're busy, that means the Atlanta real estate action is picking up, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1161852 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 19:22:55 +0000 JayS 1161852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can wear tucked and untucked equally well. Lucky you! 1 and 6 are my favorites..</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1161826 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 18:36:26 +0000 Angie_T 1161826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my fav too.&nbsp; But you look fab in all of them. I really like #7 as well. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1161822 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 18:34:40 +0000 Anonymous 1161822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of these! I think my favorite is #1. The print and softness of the top really work well on you. You also look so nice in the&nbsp;citron in #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-32#post-1161811 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 18:18:53 +0000 carter 1161811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>. </p>
