I am glad you are keeping the sleeveless top. Do you wear jewellery at all? I want to see a cuff or bracelet with that top. (And a watch doesn't count!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue/page/2#post-1821549 Fri, 07 Jul 2017 12:01:16 +0000 skylurker 1821549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz, I agree nothing beats a dress in what Angie calls "proper Summer". I can get away with casual dresses at work, and that's convenient, because the only dresses I liked in stores this year have been "moo moo dresses" - they look a bit...childlish...but they're super comfy and breezy, and can do double duty office/vacation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue/page/2#post-1821354 Thu, 06 Jul 2017 12:58:05 +0000 Suz 1821354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I <b>love</b> the idea of a black and white (or navy and white) patterned shoe for you, or a spectator style. It would work brilliantly with the simplicity of the blue and white palette. (And you know, I am never going to be the one complaining about blue and white, especially in summer!) I really like your uniform. It appeals to me and it does not seem boring because you keep the variety with changes of silhouette.&nbsp;</p> <p>Red shoes would also be great.&nbsp;</p> <p>Too bad about those Paul Greens -- they'd be perfect. But crossing fingers on the loafers.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love you in the dress, and agree that more dresses of that kind are worth seeking for work. I have made a sort of goal to buy one summer dress per year. I don't work in an office so the dresses I am purchasing are more casual (so probably easier to find) but at the same time, I don't want spaghetti straps and the like -- they can't be "beachwear" kind of dresses for me. Anyway, there's nothing cooler or fresher or easier to wear in summer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue/page/2#post-1821341 Thu, 06 Jul 2017 11:43:38 +0000 skylurker 1821341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tulle, you used the word "authority"... and I think I associate navy&amp;white with authority.

Fingers crossed. </p> <p>Weird that you can't get Paul Green in France. They are widely available in the U.K. and I've seen them in the Netherlands too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1820376 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 10:16:20 +0000 Mirjana 1820376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress is faboulus on you, so elegant. Stripes great as always and I like also #5 beautiful look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1820374 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 09:54:43 +0000 Style Fan 1820374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The suit is gorgeous on you.&nbsp; I also love #2.&nbsp; Casual but chic.&nbsp; Blue and white are very flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1820366 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 08:41:57 +0000 skylurker 1820366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Angie : I had noticed these shoes in your roundups, yes, they look perfect. For some reason, Paul Green don't sell them on the euro websites (and PG is not distributed here) - maybe they were made for the US market.<br /> I was leaning towards the loafers, thanks for the validation, I'm ordering them.</p> <p>@ Shevia : thank you. Like the "moo moo dress" of the orange post, the cowl top is "not me" but it's breezy. It's miserable-in-the-heat me.<br /> Glad you approve of the suits. At 45, I feel old enough to own their formality, and I love the simplicity of them.</p> <p>@ Firecracker : thanks for the suit validation. Writing the post cleared my head : I have enough summer clothes, I have to remember "hot summer" is very short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1820337 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 04:18:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1820337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look great. I like all of these looks, but I'm fairly fainting over your suits. They look fabulous on you, and you look so darned cool, as in laid-back and stylish, in them. I especially love the feminine tomboy look of 6, with your gorgeous oxfords and the pretty way the soft, open collar frames your face. Your culottes and dress are great summer looks, as are the short-sleeved blouse and cropped pants. You seem to have the looks down--maybe get enough of the same silhouettes to repeat as often as you need to?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1820328 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 02:54:15 +0000 Jaime 1820328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I saw your orange post first, and have already strongly approved of your suit strategy. I do like #6 with the tapered leg for summer, especially. The dress is perfect on you. Not sure about the white cowl in #5. Otherwise, splendid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1820280 Sun, 02 Jul 2017 00:19:11 +0000 Angie 1820280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooohooo! Go Team Loafers. Love the patterned loafers. <b>GET.</p> <p></b>Isabelle, you and I have very similar feet. I just got these in blue (a little lighter in person), and they work well as Summer shoes with my style. I can see the black with your suits. They are Paul Green, so Euro. <b><br /> </b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1820213 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 18:24:20 +0000 skylurker 1820213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Bella : thanks.

My fav color combo, probably because of years of Catholic school uniforms. I like pic 2 the best. </p> <p>I can attest to the comfort of the loafers Angie suggested. I wear them sans socks, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1820147 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 12:31:52 +0000 bella 1820147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5 is soooo good. Where is that top from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1820146 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 12:23:07 +0000 skylurker 1820146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jaileen and Xtabay.</p> <p>@ Tanya : I think your wardrobe is far more colourful than mine though :)</p> <p>@ Joy : my eyes are adjusting, it helps that I see a lot of them on the streets, too. In my eyes the longer styles look best on curvier shapes, I prefer shorter lengths on me.</p> <p>@ Angie : you sent me on a loafer hunt.<br /> (It was raining cats&amp;dogs all morning and Runcarla did say I could recreational browse on a rainy day :)</p> <p>I'm tempted by the black&amp;white print, to mix&amp;match with black&amp;white stripes. Also florals - under Diana influence. Or more open styles that look less warm and have ankle straps...<br /> I'm a bit wary of espadrilles though, I wonder how their cords stand the city grime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1820008 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 23:37:54 +0000 JAileen 1820008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, blue and white really suits you. You look great in the culottes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1820003 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 23:26:54 +0000 Tanya 1820003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful in all of them - blue and white really suits you.&nbsp; I wear lots of blue &amp;white in the spring&amp;summer, too.&nbsp; Also thirding everything Angie said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1819999 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 23:23:20 +0000 Anonymous 1819999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with everything Angie said. I like your culottes and am taking notes because I am still struggling with styling mine. The silhouette is not coming naturally to me.<br /> You sound focused enough not to let the sales get to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-white-blue#post-1819992 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 23:02:20 +0000 Anonymous 1819992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blue and white is one of my obsessions, so I love all these looks!&nbsp; The cowl neck top is gorgeous.</p> <p>Good luck with the shoe search.&nbsp; Those can be exhausting. </p>
