Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608645 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 23:16:03 +0000 Angie 608645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All your outfits are fab :)</p> <p>I especially love the elegant simplicity of #5, #6, and #7. Those outfits are 10's! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608399 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:05:11 +0000 AJ 608399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@CocoLion - Which color did you order in the Bobeau skirt? Oh it's going to look FAB with your long legs! </p> <p>@Jjsloane - The top in #1 is a woven. Maybe it's a cotton voile? I'm not good with fabric names. It's very light and airy, but definitely needs a tank/camisole under it. The dress I wore to my son's play is polyester with a polyester lining, so it's wearing days are limited unfortunately. I'm glad you like my little owl friend!</p> <p>@Meghan R, Ana, Isis, and Jem - Thanks!</p> <p>@Beth Ann - Yes, Walmart does surprise me every now and then. I have a dark brown safari type short sleeve jacket that was my first "fashion buy" that I bought in 2007. It still seems current and is very durable! Which reminds me that I need to wear that soon before it gets too hot. : )</p> <p>@HelenInCanada - Your consideration of me as one of the YLF thrifting queens is a high honor indeed! Thanks! </p> <p>@cjh - Thanks! I decided on the red/orange accents at the last minute and really liked the end result! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608250 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:08:11 +0000 Jem 608250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your WIW's. Your outfits are all great! I was going to go back and pick favorites, but I couldn't really do it. They are all different and amazing. I love all of your necklaces and nothing looks dated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608226 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 14:39:58 +0000 Isis 608226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab week, AJ! The YLF meetup outfit was even more fab in person; I loved the way it moved when you walked.</p> <p>I really love the ensemble of necklaces against the white in 1/2. You look great in white....</p> <p>A wonderful week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608223 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 14:35:19 +0000 cjh 608223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #7. You are brilliant to use the red/orange accessories with the basic black/cream/tan dress. Very nice week altogether. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608152 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:16:22 +0000 HelenInCanada 608152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fun and fabulous week - and how exciting that DS performed in The Music Man! You looked SO elegant, and not dated at all!</p> <p>Your combos are fresh and different everytime I look - and you're still one of the thrifting queens here!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608146 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:11:41 +0000 Beth Ann 608146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear AJ: Fun, easy and fabulous week! I think I'll try to copycat #1 later (when it's not 45 degrees and rainy)! I also love the ease of your second look, especially the faded wash and relaxed is silhouette. And I'm with the others on the church dress! Very chic!</p> <p>BTW -- sometimes Walmart brands give you a good surprise. I purchased a "George" v-neck cardi that looks like an AT piece, and has worn like iron for 5 years! You never know until you try -- and $2 of trying is certainly paying off here! What about layering the necklaces from #1 with the black dress (although I like the minimalist look here)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608117 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 12:07:47 +0000 Meghan R 608117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look so gorgeous in all of these! My favorites are #5 and #7 -- I'm going to keep these in mind when it finally warms up here:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608091 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 09:53:07 +0000 Jjsloane 608091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simple yet so put together in all of them. I particularly like the dressing up of white tee and shorts in #1, the belt is the finishing touch on the black dress and the dresses look perfect for hot weather. Such a cute and clever owl with his zipper beak and eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608074 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 08:58:38 +0000 CocoLion 608074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5 is so elegant I can't stand it AJ! You make me want to run out and buy a hot weather black dress. I love the length on you and the simple silver belt accessory. </p> <p>I also like your musical watching dress and the Bobeau skirt is so cute on you! I just ordered one for myself last week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608031 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 05:31:26 +0000 Deborah 608031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ you have such innate style. I love everything here and cannot believe you thrifted that stunning black dress. The combination of beads in #2 is just beautiful. And you wear dresses to perfection. I can't say anymore, just lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608011 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 05:01:45 +0000 AJ 608011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Rae - The denim vest can still be yours...<br /> <a href="http://www.territoryahead.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&#038;RS=1&#038;itemID=9752&#038;fromNewSearch=true&#038;mercadoResultId=2&#038;nrpAltSearch=false&#038;altText=null" rel="nofollow">http://www.territoryahead.com/.....tText=null</a></p> <p>@fashionista - Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608008 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 04:56:31 +0000 fashionista 608008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very fashionable week indeed!!!! You look lovely in all those pict. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-608005 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 04:54:28 +0000 rae 608005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! I know what you mean about wearing necklaces before it gets too hot. And your vintage look is just that - not dated at all. Still loving your denim vest as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-607994 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 04:35:02 +0000 AJ 607994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Kari and Transcona Shannon - I was hoping to wear my white tops with the Bobeau skirt as well, but the skirt has a cream chevron stripe. I don't own any cream tops. So I only have the grey to work with for now. What do you think of styling the dress with a black top?</p> <p>@kellygirl and christieanne - Oh, thank you for thinking that the accessories in 4 were not outdated!</p> <p>@ManidipaM - YLF has opened my eyes to the power of accessories!! Plus it's an inexpensive way to add fun and color without worrying if it will still fit next year.</p> <p>@clearlyclaire - I thought hard about thrifting that black dress because it's a Walmart brand. However, now that I wore it on a hot day, I'm so glad that I did...plus it was hard not to give it a go for $2!</p> <p>@dianthus - Ooohhh, please post a pic of your turquoise and coral combo...sounds delish!</p> <p>@shevia, MaryK - I've been quite pleased with my thrifting adventures lately. The owl I found a couple years ago at Forever 21 of all places! I couldn't resist it's zipper and real feather details. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-607979 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 04:04:17 +0000 christieanne 607979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to make myself stop admiring the coral/turquoise/color combo in outfit #1 - love it!<br /> I like your retro/vintage vibe for school play. Very fun and current. </p> <p>That new hi-lo skirt will certainly turn some hi-lo naysayers around quick as it looks really comfortable and summer perfect on you. Nice style with the vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-607936 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 02:48:00 +0000 MsMary 607936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a great fashion week! I love the new church dress, and your little zipper owl is just adorable!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-607933 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 02:41:07 +0000 Jaime 607933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look splendid in all the pictures. The thrifted dresses in 5 and 7 are my favorites. I love the owl too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-607923 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 02:29:46 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 607923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ you really look great in bright white. I really like the top in the first pic. We were just discussing mixing turquoise and coral on another thread. Your necklace reminded me that I have a chunky turquoise necklace I will have to put with a coral dress.</p> <p>Thanks for the inspiration.</p> <p>P.S The print dress with red bag and shoes is also fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-607890 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 01:53:28 +0000 Transcona Shannon 607890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fabulous week AJ - but I can't get past #6. I love that chevron skirt and the entire combination you came up with here. Absolutely fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-607888 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 01:52:37 +0000 Anonymous 607888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful! I especially love the black dress outfit and your new skirt. You wear earrings really well with your hair pulled back too. I'm also trying to wear jewelry and such now that I won't be able to stand when it's 10-20 degrees hotter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-607886 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 01:50:51 +0000 ManidipaM 607886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a well-dressed week! My favourites are 3, 6 and 7, but I love that necklace pile too --- such sunny colours to wear with white.</p> <p>Love your happy skirt and the Danan Buchman dress especially. And the owl's a hoot! You have a great bunch of accessories all told (admiring your bright bags) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-607869 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 01:39:25 +0000 kellygirl 607869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so cool and stylish in all of these, AJ! My faves are 1, 4 and 6. I love the simplicity of 1 with the nude sandals and pretty necklaces. #4 is perfectly quirky and fun--love the sundress. LOVE the new high/low skirt. It is so spring-y and fun. It looks adorable with the vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-607863 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 01:37:01 +0000 Kari 607863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful week, AJ. I love the playful coral and turquoise necklaces (a color combo that I'm really digging right now!) and your YLF meetup outfit blows me away. The Bobeau skirt looks amazing on you, and I love how your stylings bring out the gray accent color in the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-423#post-607859 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 01:33:46 +0000 AJ 607859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-2) Started the week off trying to wear necklaces each day before the real heat settled in. Layered 3 colorful necklaces. Usually I would wear simple stud earrings, but I was feeling the dangly white cluster with this ensemble. Too much?</p> <p>3) Much simpler vibe with neutrals and my favorite owl necklace (see pic 8).</p> <p>4) Wore to watch my DS in his school's production of "The Music Man." My accessories had a retro feel that I was hoping look more quirky vintage than out dated. Was I right?</p> <p>5) No necklace...it was HOT that day. This thrifted dress is a very lightweight knit that floated away from the body and let the breezes waft through. Added a thrifted multi-grey metallic belt and statement earrings from Kohl's (see pic 9).</p> <p>6) Wore to YLF meet-up. The Bobeau skirt is neither leg lengthening nor waist whittling, but I don't care!! It's a fun, colorful print that is so light, the back floats behind you a bit when you walk. It made me feel girly and happy! </p> <p>7) Wore to church. Recently thrifted Dana Buchman dress with orange wedges and tomato red clutch. You can barely see my wood ring. This dress is comfortable with a hard to find cotton lining. This will be a summer workhorse for sure!</p> <p>Sorry for the pic overload. Thanks for making it all the way through! Your feedback is always appreciated. </p>
