I quite like your bright skirt, looks super cute with sneakers but I could see it with sandals too. Love the striped sweater and fun sweatshirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2151284 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 05:02:19 +0000 kellygirl 2151284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the helpful suggestions! I need to remember Angie's lesson about not buying a skirt unless you get a top at the same time or know what will work. I blame it on the virus!</p> <p>Thanks, Bijou! I’m a pretty sedate dresser so anything bright or slightly out of the ordinary can draw comments. I agree that it will be a great summer skirt--with sandals!</p> <p>@Lynne and Minaminu: Thank you! The green dress is a favorite. Draping is my friend!</p> <p>@Nemosmom: and Kkards: Thank you! The welted sweater will work--I have some brights but they’re v-neck and I think it would look best with a crew neck. I will have to play around with it but I love this idea! I don’t think I could tuck the chambray--the top part of the skirt is not very forgiving.</p> <p>@Angie: Thank you! Surprised at how much I love it with the Cons. I can see why those are your casual boots. Hard to beat their comfort. </p> <p>@catherine: Thank you. That’s is such a nice compliment--I aspire to your casual elegance!</p> <p>@JAileen: Haha. Thank you. I know but it’s all in fun. Glad the poncho resonates with you. I still love it. </p> <p>@Erin: Thank you. I tried it with my cream JCrew graphic tee and thought it worked--so you’re definitely onto something there! </p> <p>@Sal: Thank you! You are the queen of orange! Glad that this meets your approval </p> <p>@Cardiff girl: Thank you!!</p> <p>@Brooklyn: Thank you! I really want to try the skirt with a magenta top--I’ve seen that combo on pinterest. I think you are right and it has potential. &nbsp;</p> <p>@Susan and Shevia: Thank you! I had my mind set on getting that skirt into rotation. So glad I made the effort. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2151106 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 04:10:13 +0000 Jaime 2151106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything looks good as usual! My favorites are the green dress and the poncho outfit. You made lemonade out of the orange skirt too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2151090 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 01:12:10 +0000 MsMaven 2151090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the outfit--I like the different colors and styles on you, yet there is a consistency throughout. Hard to pick a favorite this time, but I do love that dress in #2 on you, especially with the long topper.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2151086 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 00:53:53 +0000 Brooklyn 2151086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the green dress and how you styled it. You are inspiring my summer style.</p> <p>The red skirt is great. I would prefer to see it with a brighter top. Do you have something purple? I think a sort of bright colour block effect would work well.</p> <p>Love the floral sweatshirt. I have a similar one I’m wearing today (so snap!) and you look fab in all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2151081 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 23:50:28 +0000 Cardiff girl 2151081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red skirt is a great colour and obviously brings a lot &nbsp;of joy When you wear it to work.A lot of great looks here,l paticularly like the green dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2151036 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 17:56:20 +0000 Sal 2151036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab Kelly in all these outfits. My very favourite is 2 - but the red skirt is second. I love a bold statement and this is fun and vibrant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2151019 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 16:45:30 +0000 Erin 2151019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of your outfits look great. Maybe try a lighter color top with the red skirt and add an accessory with red in it, like a scarf? My favorite is the green dress - extra fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2151015 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 16:29:11 +0000 JAileen 2151015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, the things people say! &nbsp;I love the outfit with the poncho. I’d wear that in a second, except we’re in a warming trend. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2151004 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 15:29:44 +0000 catherine 2151004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such good outfits. You really nail the boots and dress combo every single time. Going to try and copy you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2151000 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 15:23:20 +0000 Angie 2151000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER <b>Kelly </b>style strikes again! Special love for the dresses and skirts. WOW!&nbsp;</p> <p>I remember the floral sweatshirt and the poncho. How satisfying to be wearing old items with such panache!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the way you're wearing your "regretful-final-sale" item! Rocking it with precious Oreo :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2150993 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 15:04:24 +0000 kkards 2150993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I’m going to make a really out there suggestion re the red skirt (which i love the length of BTW)....i would go column of color with a red top, (in for a penny in for a pound), or go 80s with a pink top...or maybe a chambray shirt, something lighter so that the red is less pop of color.&nbsp;<br />I love the poncho, it looks warm and cozy and the color is fab... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2150980 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 14:13:06 +0000 nemosmom 2150980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mad love for all of your outfits!&nbsp; I like the skirt, and agree that a welted top will temper it. What about another bright color on top for a whole column of bright? Or, is that too much? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2150957 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 12:26:17 +0000 Minaminu 2150957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits ! The green dress is fab in you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2150954 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 12:16:38 +0000 Lynne 2150954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That green dress is divine on you! You look so elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2150912 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 06:47:48 +0000 Bijou 2150912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your red skirt. It is a bold statement, so bright colour is often commented on. I think this would be fun to wear with with a floral print and strappy sandals in summer. </p> <p>That green dress is all sorts of wonderful on you. All other outfits are fabulous too and have your signature casual elegance. I love that so many of your items have gone the distance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2150903 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 04:46:47 +0000 kellygirl 2150903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Rachy: grey and burgundy were pairings I liked on Pinterest. I think the grey has a better chance of success considering the summer feel of the skirt. Thanks for the suggestion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2150902 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 04:43:32 +0000 rachylou 2150902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like! How about grey with the red? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2150901 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 04:40:03 +0000 kellygirl 2150901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@slimcat: Thank you! I totally agree. It's out there and I wouldn't have worn this pre-Covid. Nowadays, I'm just having fun where I can get it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2150900 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 04:38:41 +0000 kellygirl 2150900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Carla! I hacked about 5" already. Next stop will be the whole bottom tier. I kind of like the midi length though and will try it a few more times before shortening it again. It was so floofy and fun to wear--on a super casual Friday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2150899 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 04:37:13 +0000 slim cat 2150899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty looks! I love your polka dotted dress with cardigan in #3, poncho in #5 and your amazing floral sweatshirt - fab!<br />Red skirt is a fun piece. Sometimes it's what we need in our daily life - something bold and beautiful and totally unexpected .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2150898 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 04:35:23 +0000 Carla 2150898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you picked off the bottom ruffle of the red skirt (so that it was 2 layers) would it fall to the knee? &nbsp;That might be a good length for a sporty/casual look with white sneakers and a variety of tops. &nbsp;I like the idea of the denim topper, but over a lighter (white?) t-shirt. Pale blue ‘goes well’ with red. &nbsp;Don’t you have a pale blue denim vest?</p> <div><br /></div><div>The green dress is just so d@%$ good anyway you style it. &nbsp;❤️s for the poncho look!<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-close-out-october#post-2150893 Sat, 31 Oct 2020 04:23:26 +0000 kellygirl 2150893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of FFBO at the end of the month. I was feeling pretty creative at the beginning of the month but then work got crazy and I just gave up. I'm still trying to work my closet and did manage to wear one of my "regrets" (final sale) today. I ordered it thinking it was a midi when it was actually a maxi that could only be salvaged by shortening--which I did. I got lots of comments today--"whoa" "I saw you a mile away" "are you doing traffic control today" haha. I work with a bunch of comedians. I like the color but it's a lot of skirt. I'm going to try it with a welted sweater next--not sure it will work but worth a try. Suggestions welcome. </p> <p>The oldest item here is the floral sweatshirt that must be almost 6 or 7 years old by now. It was one of my first YLF inspired purchases--Angie did a post on fancy sweatshirts and I got on that train!  There's also the handknit poncho from back in the SAHM days so that's probably 10. They may not look trendy but I do think they suit my style... </p> <p>Thanks for looking! Happy halloween! </p>
