I'd never guess you were still going through snow. Loving #2 especially, cheerful neon sweater + slipper flats? Can't go wrong https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-i-want-to-be-done-with-winter#post-883915 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 03:17:24 +0000 bj1111 883915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was in chgo on st pats day and thought of the ylf crew! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-i-want-to-be-done-with-winter#post-883910 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 03:15:54 +0000 MNsara 883910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, BJ - Yes, I felt funny about buying a dress just to wear as a top. But I do like this one a lot.&nbsp; And the hair - shorter than last year, but a tad longer than last cut.&nbsp; I think!<br /><br />Shevia and Carole - thanks for the neon love!&nbsp; I adore it and can't believe my good luck that it is still going strong.&nbsp; I'm sort of stocking up. . .<br /><br />Thanks, Sveta, and yes - I remember it was 80F last year!&nbsp; This year on St Pat's, it was 30F. &nbsp; Boohoo!&nbsp; In fact, last night it was 3F with well below zero wind chill.&nbsp; Will it ever end?!&nbsp; (And here, I had just declared I was done wearing winter coats!!)<br /><br />We've also had three significant snow storms in the last week.&nbsp; But there was just enough sun in between them to clear off sidewalks, and parts of parking lots.&nbsp; So, I'm wearing SHOES.&nbsp; (well, except for the 3rd storm where I got my shoes so wet with snow that I stopped home between schools to change into snow boots.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-i-want-to-be-done-with-winter#post-883901 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 03:08:26 +0000 Sveta 883901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sara, remember how warm and even hot it was at the same time last year in Chicago? &lt;sign&gt; we had a snow storm last night...I am sick of my winter garb too and rebelliously wearing booties to work tomorrow!<br />I like them both on you. Tunic over straight legs is very flattering and neon sweater with BF-like jeans is fun!<br />Are you wearing shoes outside now or change indoors?<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-i-want-to-be-done-with-winter#post-883891 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 03:01:35 +0000 Carole 883891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The tunic is super chic, love this outfit. Clever girl, skinnies as BF's maybe I should try that, did you just use your everyday skinnies and roll them up? Citron is such a fun color and this is the perfect&nbsp;way to wear them. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-i-want-to-be-done-with-winter#post-883882 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 02:44:51 +0000 Jaime 883882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Both look great and I love how you look in neon! Also great shoes! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-i-want-to-be-done-with-winter#post-883869 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 02:31:27 +0000 bj1111 883869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ that parker tunic with the sw flats is da bomb! &nbsp;so flattering. &nbsp;have you gone a bit shorter on your hair? &nbsp;whatever it is, looks great! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-i-want-to-be-done-with-winter#post-883868 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 02:29:42 +0000 MNsara 883868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Kellygirl!&nbsp; You are my casual muse, you know.&nbsp; I think you have it quite perfected actually!&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-i-want-to-be-done-with-winter#post-883839 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 02:07:14 +0000 kellygirl 883839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh, what a treat! I think of you every time i don my "Toughen Ups"--but I digress. I LOVE both of these. The Parker tunic is stunning on you. Love the cap toe flats with them. What a flattering and stylish outfit! Simple and gorgeous. The neon outfit is just fun and appeals to my casual nature. Semi tuck is perfect and those smoking slippers are perfect for a transition to spring. You look fab. I like these pared down and unfussy. SO fab! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-i-want-to-be-done-with-winter#post-883836 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 02:04:24 +0000 MNsara 883836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Grrr - I forgot to ask my youngest Tech Support staffer to upgrade my browser - so I lost all my spacing above and cannot edit anything :-(<br /><br />ETA:&nbsp; I remembered I DO have Firefox and was able to fix things<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-when-i-want-to-be-done-with-winter#post-883835 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 02:03:16 +0000 MNsara 883835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ We've had a particularly nasty snowy, cold March so far and I am SO ready to be done with winter. . . and lately I'm finding myself choosing silk or lightweight cotton sweaters with a base of Uniqlo's Heattech tops, and managing just fine! (Maybe I'm just toughened up by this time of the season?) <br /><br />Nothing fancy, but they worked nicely at school and play, and I still felt well dressed! <br /><br />1) Parker tunic (that is really intended to be a dress for *ahem* younger women worn over NYDJ straight legs. (We have a new 'no denim for certified staff' dress code, weird, huh? but I figure these comply <br /><br />2) Super neon Gap sweater and leopard belt with Gap Always Skinny worn as BFs. So comfy I wore this three times in a row - out to casual dinner &amp; to church, then with the brown NYDJ straights to teach at one school, then with black straight trousers to teach elsewhere!<br /><br />I forgot to get the pics where I added a deep leopard scarf (in honor of MaryK - Miss Neon &amp; Leopard). No doubt I'll repeat myself - and try to get a pic. <br /><br />Thanks for looking and I'd love to hear your ideas, suggestions, comments, whatever
