It's a great film.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2387304 Wed, 04 Jun 2025 08:59:30 +0000 Karie 2387304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That crocheted vest does have serious “Jenny from Forest Gump” (one of my all time favorite movies) vibes! I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2387153 Sat, 31 May 2025 18:22:45 +0000 Carol 2387153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Lisa!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386244 Sun, 18 May 2025 03:26:21 +0000 Lisa 2386244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful ruana. I enjoy wearing mine without a belt so I get more drama from the soft flow of the material when walking.</p> <p>The crochet vest is lovely and pairs very well with the pretty floral tote. The blue adidas has a fun green stripe and adds a nice pop of color to your outfit. You rocked this crochet outfit!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386146 Thu, 15 May 2025 15:15:21 +0000 Carol 2386146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet--hidden wine stores are ALWAYS intriguing! They say if you're savvy, you can sometimes come away with a steal that is worth much more. Probably not this bottle.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do like Santa Fe as a shopping destination, but you need to appreciate that sort of look.&nbsp; Anyone looking for great Western gear, gorgeous hippie dresses...that's the place.</p> <p>Jaime--thank you!</p> <p>JAileen--that sounds like a beautiful poncho. I probably will wear a belt if I go out and about much, because it's silky, and slides around. I am guessing your wool item "clung" to your clothing better on its own.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386145 Thu, 15 May 2025 15:10:53 +0000 Carol 2386145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker--yes, I love crop tops, and need to find more ways to wear them--this seemed like a good way. I love that your mom made one of these--she must have been talented at crochet.</p> <p>Olive Green--love your ruana strategy. Especially in a restaurant or movie theater, you won't move around a lot, so it will stay on.</p> <p>Angie--I did try it with a belt. Looks good, but need to mess with the billowy fabric to fit it properly. I wonder what else Jenny would wear, without looking it up. I'm thinking underneath might be some kind of Indian tunic.</p> <p>Dee--thank you. That tote was an irrational purchase that I knew would somehow make sense in the end. It is always a great day when you get carded. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386119 Thu, 15 May 2025 00:44:21 +0000 JAileen 2386119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun outfit - you know I love the Adidas! &nbsp;Re ruana: &nbsp;A few years ago I got wool woven poncho, the same shape as your item, but wool plaid. &nbsp;I wore it without a belt. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386108 Thu, 15 May 2025 00:14:19 +0000 Jaime 2386108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent outfit for an excellent outing! I love the eclectic mix! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386087 Wed, 14 May 2025 20:19:30 +0000 Janet 2386087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that tote bag! Funny, I have a tote from Santa Fe that came with a purchase of a pretty shawl I bought there years ago. I never wear the shawl but I use the tote, LOL. </p> <p>Hidden wine store sounds fun and intriguing! Your ruana seems a perfect piece for your boho style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386079 Wed, 14 May 2025 18:48:17 +0000 Dee 2386079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable 70s boho combo, love that you got carded too. That tote is very stylish.<br />Great reversible ruana, the colours and pattern look fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386070 Wed, 14 May 2025 17:41:29 +0000 Angie 2386070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You DO look cute, <b>Carol</b>! '70s boho-lite for sure. Very summery, and fun hat - Yes to a spot on Jenny-look-a-like from Forest Gump!</p> <p>Gorgeous ruana with fab earrings! Playful and very YOU. Try it with a belt when you feel like some waist definition.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386066 Wed, 14 May 2025 17:22:37 +0000 Olive Green 2386066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had that vest and hat! You look much cuter, the audience was right.<br />Ruanas are gold for air conditioning. I drape them folded as a scarf on one shoulder till needed, then you can dramatically swirl it on. I like fits loose, but in a high wind, a belt would be very practical.&nbsp;<br />It’s a good place for a brooch, also.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386049 Wed, 14 May 2025 03:35:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2386049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a fun excursion! The crochet vest is so cool. It's great with the flares, and I like how you updated it with the crop top. I remember those vests from the 70s--my mom made one for me, and I loved it. The new ruana is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386048 Wed, 14 May 2025 03:19:27 +0000 Carol 2386048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Bijou! A giant tote bag that is sturdy and also fashionable is the secret weapon of the environmental set. I can run three different errands and put a book, etc. in there.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386043 Wed, 14 May 2025 01:30:25 +0000 Bijou 2386043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not surprised at the compliments; you look approachable and fun. The tote is a wonderful find and so practical too. I love the crochet vest, having two dogs, that is something that would last about 5 minutes in my wardrobe, so I'm glad to enjoy this style on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-wine-adventure-and-ruana#post-2386042 Wed, 14 May 2025 00:48:14 +0000 Carol 2386042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wine adventure sounds better than Walgreens. I went to Walgreens and then the hidden wine store across the street today to dig out an affordable white wine from the dust. Eleven-year-old Chilean sauv. blanc. That'll do.</p> <p>I guess I looked good! A man on the bus liked my hat, a man on a motorcycle said "you're looking fine today, young lady." And at the wine store I got carded for the first time in a long time.</p> <p>The signature item would be the long crochet vest, handed down to me by a friend. It reminds me of something Jenny would wear in Forrest Gump. Gifted straw hat, Chicos earrings. Boody crop top. Brown flare cords from the Gap, thrifted braided belt.&nbsp; The shoes I wore were Adidas.</p> <p>I like the tote a lot, which was a splurge at a fabric store in Santa Fe--<br />you know, where the employees make things to show off the fabric.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Last pictures are my new reversible ruana&nbsp; from Chicos. Very cool, silky fabric. Quite nice. If anyone has had a ruana before, let me know. I am wondering if I will need to use a belt....</p> <p> </p>
