And especially love your glasses! Great photo of the peacock. Gosh they are fierce aren’t they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2292107 Sat, 19 Nov 2022 11:05:50 +0000 Zaeobi 2292107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha oh dear - I was originally going to comment that I know peacocks can be little 'glassbowls' (think of what it rhymes with, lol) but I thought maybe I'm being a little harsh &amp; this peacock was different. Nope, seems not :P</p> <p>I remember seeing gorgeous white ones in Brazil (green/ blue is the norm in Pakistan) but they were also the same in their lunchtime tactics - I'm with @Jaime! </p> <p>Anyway silk dresses always feel so lovely, don't they? Here's hoping you get your hands on the black one when the time comes - but for now, cupro should still be good in winter, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291947 Thu, 17 Nov 2022 20:27:24 +0000 Carla 2291947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful - everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291946 Thu, 17 Nov 2022 20:25:02 +0000 Jenn 2291946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie,&nbsp;</b>I'm so glad I went with these glasses, too. You wouldn't believe how many compliments I get on them! You're so right about them making a huge difference in the whole vibe of an outfit.</p> <p><b>Zaeobi,&nbsp;</b>the peacock was absolutely harassing me for leftovers! They are fearless.</p> <p><b>Sally,&nbsp;</b>I don't think I would have been able to resist the black dress if they weren't both quite expensive. The yellow one is cupro, but the black is silk, and it's still on my list for a future splurge. It just felt SO GOOD to wear.</p> <p><b>Stagiaire Fash, Irina,&nbsp;</b>and&nbsp;<b>Bijou</b>, I love hearing the happy peacock memories! These ones are apparently quite the nuisance animals for the surrounding neighborhoods, but they've been there since well before the gardens were public.</p> <p><b>Jaime,&nbsp;</b>I'm honestly a little scared of them, too. My in-laws are friends with the garden's plant curator, though, and over lunch a few months ago, he taught us that they WILL scatter if you just stomp your feet and yell at them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291812 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 18:12:30 +0000 Sal 2291812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The arboretum sounds and looks like a great spot.

Cool to see the new boots in action too. But my favorite shot here is #4 with that smile. That golden dress is great for your palette, and I love the crinkles for you.</p> <p>Adding to the peacock memories: there was a farm on the next hill from where I grew up that had peacocks; we could hear them crow. In our area, that meant they were good for school field trips. Some of those feathers are still on my desk at home. Happy memories of dreaming of luxe &amp; finery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291754 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 11:20:36 +0000 Anonymous 2291754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look great!

I don't think you could go wrong with the black either, given black dresses are signature to your style. If you are only buying one, it HAS to be the yellow.</p> <p>Your photos, have all sorts of magic - not least the peacock. At my university, they had (and still do) a number of peacocks that happily co-exist with the students, peacocks always remind me of a very happy time of my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291701 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 04:51:48 +0000 Jonesy 2291701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I love your strolling and lunching outfit, and that mustard dress is sensational on you! Fingers crossed the size up fits perfectly. Peacocks are really intense... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291700 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 04:35:43 +0000 slim cat 2291700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty outfit and very promising new dress ( great color on you )!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291695 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 02:58:06 +0000 Jaime 2291695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous looks! I am afraid of peacocks. Honestly I am a bit afraid of most birds, but specifically used to work somewhere where I was there were a lot of wild peacocks. Anyway, love the yellow dress for you - no I can't tell the difference in style but can tell the yellow will be smashing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291692 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 02:48:25 +0000 JAileen 2291692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit is very you, and very nice, too. &nbsp;How lucky to have an Eileen Fisher store. &nbsp;We don’t have one of them, but we do have two arboretums (one is unofficial). &nbsp;We visit when we want to know what certain trees look like in real life, in different seasons. &nbsp;We visit the unofficial one all the time. &nbsp;Our city’s previous urban forester planted a lot of unusual trees. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291689 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 02:01:17 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2291689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that yellow dress for you! I’ve never been to the arboretum, but it’s on my list of places to visit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291688 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 01:38:50 +0000 LJP 2291688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much to like here ! Starting with the cinnamon and blk /white combo . So striking !! And the mustard crinkle dress is great on you !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291687 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 01:31:15 +0000 Suz 2291687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, you look amazing! Fun outing -- peacocking around. Love the mix of new and old in the outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>And that gold dress! It's going to be sensational! I'm glad you resisted the urge to go black again. You can always use a black dress and you will get others, but this will be so fun to layer with some of your boho toppers!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291683 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 01:13:28 +0000 Dee 2291683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fall outfit, nice mix of the old with the new, Mr. Peacock seems to like it too lol.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291682 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 01:07:33 +0000 Greenjeans 2291682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, Jenn! Talk to me about the duster sweater. Do you ever wear buttoned? If so, what is the silhouette? (A-line?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291677 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 00:56:49 +0000 rachylou 2291677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the yellow on you! </p> <p>I don’t think I’ve ever been to the arboretum. Next time I visit my brother then! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291676 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 00:48:00 +0000 Jenn 2291676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Irina, both the crinkle dresses were pretty size-forgiving. You could easily go up or down to get the fit you want. I’m wearing a medium in the yellow (which is cut fairly straight) and a large in the black (which is tiered). I didn’t want quite the body-skimming fit of the medium, so I’m hoping one size up will offer a little more ease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291674 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 00:43:26 +0000 Irina 2291674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you look fantastic! The mustard dress is to die for! Hope it fits (looks pretty great to me in the size you are wearing)<div>The most beautiful peacocks I once saw in Prague - white!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291671 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 00:37:52 +0000 Roberta 2291671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the cinnamon over a black and white print is excellent! I must try that.</p> <p>Chicago has a wonderful Arboretum and I get a lot of use out of my membership,&nbsp; but I'm very sad to say it does not have peacocks roaming the grounds.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-to-the-arboretum#post-2291670 Wed, 16 Nov 2022 00:26:18 +0000 Jenn 2291670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought a membership to the LA Arboretum this week, so hopefully, this is but one of many trips to explore the grounds there.  I went in hopes of finding fall color, which is hard to come by here. I wasn't disappointed.</p> <p>Photo 1: The outfit, mixing old and new. The printed Wrap London dress is from 2018 and has 25 wears. Both the duster sweater and boots are new this year.</p> <p>Photo 2: In situ.</p> <p>Photo 3: My lunch companion.</p> <p>Photo 4: Fall! In LA!</p> <p>Photos 5 and 6: After the gardens, I stopped by Eileen Fisher to drop off some Renew items and tried on these two crinkle dresses. I love the fabric and resisted the urge to buy yet another black dress. I ordered the yellow in a larger size. (It’s hard to tell from the photos, but they’re actually two different styles.) </p>
