The bag was thrifted several years ago. I adore it, but until I started a mustard complement, I couldn’t quite figure out how to incorporate it into my wardrobe. It was Angie’s concept, of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1961875 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 23:59:29 +0000 Barbara Diane 1961875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like the dresses, bag in 3, and your jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1961163 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 17:06:32 +0000 JAileen 1961163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LaP, Javier Bardem? Well, he’s certainly a handsome man. That hair style doesn’t do much for him, though! I always think of Audrey Hepburn when I see your pictures.</p> <p>Ginger, thank you. I’m really drawn to silver and grey because of my hair.</p> <p>Angie, thank you. I hadn’t thought of 5 as being very 80s at all. Hmmm... We both loved the 80s, so maybe that’s why? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1961140 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 16:02:51 +0000 Angie 1961140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving #2, 5 and 12, <b>Janet.</b></p> <p>#5 in-particlar has a fun '80s vibe to it. The pink is powerful and pretty.&nbsp;</p> <p>Agreeing with <b>Jaime</b>. PLEASE include your lovely head in future outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1961119 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 13:52:53 +0000 Ginger 1961119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfits! You play with color so well, a great balance of pastels, saturated colors, and neutrals. And I understand feeling shy, but wow, #2 and #5 totally make sense with your lovely silver hair. No wonder you wear those metallic shoes so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1961021 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 02:03:24 +0000 LaPed 1961021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm lol'ing at everyone's celebrity references. My cousin (who also rocks short hair) and I have a running Javier Bardem joke. The No Country for Old Men look is a regular occurrence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1961004 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 22:33:10 +0000 JAileen 1961004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, thank you. I loved #2. I’ll definitely repeat it. </p> <p>Karen, Andy Warhol was very cool looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1961001 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 22:05:40 +0000 karen13 1961001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, Suz - I'm scooching back into Late Andy Warhol territory as I'm thinking about growing out my pixie. My hairdresser trimmed it last week, but if I can't figure it out soon I'm going to chop it all off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960993 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 21:34:20 +0000 Suz 1960993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jenn said! So great to see your face and hair -- it really adds to the effect! I love the outfit in #2 on you and don't notice the wrinkles on the dress. You did a great job keeping track.&nbsp;</p> <p>re the hairdo, I know what you mean. I look like Christopher Lloyd in the morning, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960948 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 17:44:07 +0000 JAileen 1960948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, that’s funny, I don’t think of my hair as modern or anything, really. You should see it when I first get up in the morning. I look a little like Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future. Luckily my husband is too sleepy to notice.</p> <p>I should thank you for proposing this challenge. Even though I didn’t count anything, it was really interesting to me to take a photo every day, and see what I really wore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960926 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 15:28:57 +0000 Jenn 1960926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen! We get to see your face! Your modern haircut really adds to your outfits. Congrats on making it through the month! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960913 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 14:39:27 +0000 JAileen 1960913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, thank you. The bag is supposedly mustard. My husband agrees with you - he thinks it’s tan, too. I think it’s the light in the picture. Think of Gulden’s mustard.</p> <p>Carla, thank you. I could put together pink and grey outfits. I have a lot of charcoal, but I think heather grey might look better with pink.</p> <p>LaP, thank you. I’m wearing the pink jeans right now, cuffed up several inches, and I like it. </p> <p>Greyscale, thank you. The park is south of Yerington, and is called Walker River Recreation Area. It is composed of several ranches. There is still one ranch to go. The 90 YO owner, Barron Hilton (Paris Hilton’s grandfather), has a life interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960876 Tue, 02 Oct 2018 07:47:13 +0000 Greyscale 1960876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So neat that you have a new state park. I wonder if my brother knows about it yet. He’s been enjoying life up there. </p> <p>Your shoes add so much to your outfits - I especially like the silver oxfords and the unexpected pink converse! And I also think that pink and silver/grey are a great concept. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960754 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 16:11:49 +0000 LaPed 1960754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I really like the pink/white outfit in #5. You could cuff the jeans a bit more to show some ankle. And you look so pretty in the grey EF dress with warm accents (and I don't see the wrinkles you're talking about). DH has that same cough right now -- so bad he pulled a muscle yesterday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960753 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 16:07:52 +0000 Carla 1960753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great week you've had! In particular your outfits incorporating grey - #2 and #10 - but I also really like #5 and #6. I bet you have what you need in your closet to mix pink and grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960745 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 15:30:25 +0000 rachylou 1960745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to think about tan and grey now... esp love that outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960731 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 14:36:33 +0000 JAileen 1960731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, thank you. I love that EF dress. </p> <p>Catherine, thank you. Angie had silver oxfords that I adored. I wanted some too, but they were hard to find. These are lovely all leather and super soft. </p> <p>Shevia, thank you. I understand what you mean, however, I am shy. </p> <p>Karen, thank you. Patagucci! I’m trying to think if I’ve ever paid full price for any of my Patagonia gear. Maybe once. This hoodie was on super markdown at REI, and I wore it constantly in Barrow this summer.</p> <p>Like the Season, thank you. Several years ago I went on a trip and only took grey, blue and olive. It was a revelation for me, how easy making outfits was when everything went with everything else. So I made a rule that I would only add items in those colors. I’ve been pretty strict until recently when I started adding pink. Of course the mustard was so I could use the vintage Coach bag I thrifted years ago. </p> <p>Katerina, thank you. The dragonfly pin was a gift from my husband several years ago. I copied a YLF member as to pin placement, and the jacket as well. I saw her wearing it and had to have it. Since it’s knit, it’s very comfortable.</p> <p>Jenni, thank you. The mustard complement was born because of the thrifted Coach bag I’d had for several years. Angie had posted about complements, and I thought of course - that’s how I’ll be able to use it. Then it turned out mustard is having a moment. The Fly London shoes are perfect - the color, heel height, and slightly funky style.</p> <p>Style Fan, thank you. The jacket is Kuhl. I bought it at REI, but it’s available other places. It also has a hood hidden in the collar. All the pockets are handy. I ought to give away the EB jacket because my binoculars rubbed the front and pilled it.</p> <p>Kathie, thank you. We’re having slightly cooler weather and I can finally wear closed toe shoes. I probably only need one pair, because it’s such a short period of time between hot and cold weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960703 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 10:24:26 +0000 Kathie 1960703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great collection- my faves are 2, 7, 8, and 12. Love all the variety in your shoes. Hope you’re on the mend from your cold soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960692 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 09:00:10 +0000 Style Fan 1960692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, my favourite is #2.&nbsp; I love the dress on you.&nbsp; Great job accessorizing it.&nbsp; I don't notice the wrinkles and I think that is part of EF's charm.&nbsp; I agree that you have beautiful hair. &nbsp;<br />Your outfits are all well put together and interesting.&nbsp; I love your field jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960691 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 08:43:26 +0000 Jenni NZ 1960691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Janet another fan of 2 and 10/11. That dress is so pretty on you and great shoes/bag. Of course I'm mad on the silver Oxfords too.<br /> I have been curious about the reason behind the pink on Tuesdays thing for a while? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960673 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 05:03:25 +0000 Katerina 1960673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done JAileen, no you have so many great outfits in pictures!</p> <p>This set is really lovely, as usual. All are fresh, put together and interesting. I wish I could do casual like you do. My faves is no 2, 5, 10 and 11. What a charmig brooch and fun placement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960669 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 04:16:29 +0000 Like the Season 1960669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's been so fun to see your outfits throughout this challenge! You have such a pleasing casual style and a great color palette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960663 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 03:37:47 +0000 karen13 1960663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job sticking with the photos - are you finding any patterns? I think they all work, but my favorites are 2 (interesting and unusual color mix that works), 5 and 7 (fresh and pink loves you!). And you gear looks great in 1 - nice colors in the Patagucci and coordinating boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960658 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 02:20:30 +0000 Jaime 1960658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaileen what I learned from the pictures is how important to include your head in the outfit. I love #2, your hair is fantastic, and in 5 I can see how nicely the pink plays with your coloring. Seeing the whole look allows me to relate to your outfit on you and not a mannequin if that makes sense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960652 Mon, 01 Oct 2018 00:18:20 +0000 catherine 1960652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits are all really well thought out. I especially like the EF dress in 2 and your oxfords in 10. Your hair is also beautiful. Keep these inspirational outfits coming, please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960639 Sun, 30 Sep 2018 23:04:36 +0000 Anonymous 1960639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! My favorites are 2 and 10/11. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-4-september-challenge-2#post-1960637 Sun, 30 Sep 2018 22:52:00 +0000 JAileen 1960637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t believe I took a picture of my outfit every day for a month!</p> <p>(1) Saturday - bird walk at the grand opening celebration of our brand new state park. It is pretty big - 12,000 acres, with 30 miles of river frontage. Here I am in my glamorous birding gear, again. It was windy and cold first thing in the morning, but later it was very warm. We saw a leucistic red tail hawk. It was mostly white, but with a red tail. Leucism is not the same as albinism. A leucistic bird still has some pigment.</p> <p>(2-3) Sunday - church - EF heather grey handkerchief hem dress with mustard shoes and vintage mustard bag. I don't like all the wrinkles in the dress. What would be the best way to hang it? I’ve been folding it across the hanger bar, but that’s not really working.</p> <p>(4) Monday - gardening in the morning, then volunteering at the thrift store in the afternoon. Denim crops, EB embroidered top, KorkEase sandals, guitar strap bag.</p> <p>(5) Tuesday - pink on Tuesday - jeans, Cons, bag and graphic tee with pink, and white denim jacket. It was 36 in the morning, the coldest so far this fall. Should my pants be rolled up more?</p> <p>(6) Wednesday - errands with the dogs, to the drive up library and pet store. They loved it, and were appropriately excited. Levi curvy fit bootcut jeans, printed top, EB jacket, KorkEase sandals, seatbelt bag.</p> <p>(7) Thursday - more pink. Denim crops, pink boatneck top, white denim jacket, FitFlops and seatbelt bag. Starting to come down with a cold, coughing my head off. :(</p> <p>(8) Friday - Manhattan Short Film Festival - on the university campus, we had a bit of a walk from the parking garage to the theater, with lots of stairs, so I wanted good walkable shoes. Plus, it was still pretty hot outside, but I thought it would be cold in the theater. And I was right! We saw nine films in 2 1/2 hours, from eight different countries. Some were funny and some were sad or tragic, but all were excellent. I took cough drops and water for my coughing. White embroidered crops, boat neck top, denim jacket, FitFlop slip ons, seatbelt bag.</p> <p>(9) Saturday - emergency shopping for a new coffee maker. I hadn’t worn these Johnston &amp; Murphy sandals since I broke my toe last year, thinking they would be a problem. They actually fit fine, maybe better than before. Kuhl jacket, Lee crops, thrifted top.</p> <p>(10-11) In the evening we went to our local Philharmonic. It was cooler and windy. This city is little, and so we knew one of the violinists, a good friend of our son’s, and one of the members of the chorus, a retired school counselor. I took more water and cough drops for my coughing. JCrew wool jacket, printed top, Chaps wide leg crops, silver oxfords and Furla bag.</p> <p>(12) Sunday - church, Chaps denim dress with pink mules and bag.</p> <p>All comments welcome. </p>
