You are a pretty lady, Amiable! My fav today, among several good ones, is #9. Another scarf could take it up even more, but it is fine as it is, too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898841 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:47:52 +0000 amiable 898841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow! &nbsp;Thanks you all!<br /><br />Deborah - your approval of the jacket makes my day. Thank you! &nbsp;I have some more ideas for how to wear it.<br /><br />Una - Thanks for the thoughts on my hair - I'll keep doing it that way for now :)<br /><br />Suz &nbsp;- Thanks so much. &nbsp;I must admit, I'm having a great time grown and learning in style. &nbsp;I'm glad that most of my clothes are super cheap though - I'm going through them like water!<br /><br />Vicki - Austin Powers! &nbsp;Why didn't I think of that! &nbsp;I love sixties too, but I feel so conspicuous in&nbsp;them. &nbsp;I'm still working up to wearing this level of boldness in public! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898836 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:34:37 +0000 Vicki 898836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Amiable, I really like 4, 5, 7 and 9 and what a precious family you have! &nbsp;Are you kidding! &nbsp;I love 5, because it reminds me, in the best possible way and one I would recreate in a hot second, like Austin Powers. &nbsp;I love the '60s vibe and paisley and you make it fresh with these "powerful" colors.<br /><br />Plus, you've shown me another way to wear my green skinnies as in #9! &nbsp;Excellent. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898247 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 02:59:53 +0000 Suz 898247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ami, all I can see is how much your style has developed since you joined the forum and how the little touches that make a difference are coming through. Like the pop of white or light at the collar to bookend the lighter shoes, or the fun slouchy fit of those green jeans in #9!! You look fab.&nbsp;<br /><br />Good luck at the conference!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898232 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 02:46:14 +0000 Deborah 898232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow Amy, you have not put a foot wrong.&nbsp; Great set of outfits.&nbsp; I must say the floral jacket does look good.&nbsp; Scrunching the sleeves just amps up the style quotient and creates a really modern feel and look.&nbsp; All gorgeous. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898227 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 02:43:30 +0000 catgirl 898227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think Aida has some fantastic advice.&nbsp; You look very presentable in all of these, though - like "if someone comes to the door I can open it proudly" kind of presentable.&nbsp; I like your hair in 1,4, 5, 6 and 7 whatever you did with it (or didn't!)! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898220 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 02:38:44 +0000 amiable 898220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just noticed that I cross-posted with Beth-Ann and Thistle too - thanks to you both!<br /><br />I think my auto-pilot success is largely due to purging quickly things that don't fit and/or aren't flattering.&nbsp; It makes it so that first thing I pull out at least has some potential.&nbsp; The only ones that weren't spur-of-the-moment outfits are #1 and #6-7.&nbsp; And you all helped choose those :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898174 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:44:50 +0000 amiable 898174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ And Cross-posted - Thanks Sara and Angie!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898170 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:43:46 +0000 amiable 898170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ And Thanks for all the love on #9.&nbsp; I felt like I kept adding pieces haphazardly - first the jacket for some saturated color near my face, then the scarf for warmth... And the scarf really didn't match anything...&nbsp; It just felt like a lot going on.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898162 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:37:18 +0000 Angie 898162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am mesmerized by #5 and #9! WOW. Those are 11 out of 10! Cute cherubs too :)<br /><br />Good luck at the conference. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898161 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:36:05 +0000 Sara L. 898161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you're being too hard on yourself. &nbsp;These are all good outfits. &nbsp;I especially like your Easter outfit. &nbsp;I think #8 just needs a necklace or scarf to spiff it up. &nbsp;I like the scarf and the striped top in #9 and don't find it overly busy. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898157 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:33:28 +0000 amiable 898157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow - Thanks you all!<br /><br />Kate - I tried the shirt in #9 both untucked and semitucked, but it's exactly the same length as the jacket and I was afraid that the hems competed.&nbsp; And I wanted to show off my off-center belt wearing :P<br /><br />Carla - Thanks for the compliment on my hair - I can't decide what to do with it, so I've been especially lazy on it lately.<br /><br />Jules - you do remember that shirt!&nbsp; I'll style it like you've suggested - thank you!<br /><br />Aida - the shoes in #2 are perforated canvas oxfords - also seen <a href="http://amiable.lookfab.com/post/wiw-california-winter-with-a-belt" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp; I haven't found a light belt yet - I think I'm not sure on what color/style will be right.&nbsp; But I'm hoping I'll know the right one when I see it :)<br /><br />Thank Joy, Karie and Caro.<br /><br />Pil, that was my favorite thing about my Easter outfit too - the quietness of the gray top.<br /><br />Thanks for the suggestion, Hedgie!<br /><br />Shevia, my girls are almost 9 and 7.<br /><br />Me too Rachy - I have a really hard time finding tops that are long enough.<br /><br />Thanks you all!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898151 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:28:15 +0000 Thistle 898151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These all look so good, bt I am especially partial to #7 and #8! &nbsp;Cute family shot. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898145 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:25:54 +0000 Beth Ann 898145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fabulous choice for Good Friday -- this kind of blouse has a perfect sleeve for flute playing, too.&nbsp; I also think your Easter outfit is fresh and celebratory, while still relaxed.<br /><br />The only ones that look like you chose quickly are 4 and 8, but they both fit well and are quite put together, really quite pleasing.<br /><br />Love the sweater in #2, and I think the combination in #5 is all about how you feel --- some people like the "pow," other people dislike grabbing so much attention.<br /><br />I really like #9, although I'd rather see the sleeves below the elbow.<br /><br />The fact that you do so well running on "auto-pilot" says alot about your growing sense of style.&nbsp; Brava!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898096 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:09:54 +0000 rachylou 898096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looking really cute. No schlump (which I'm suffering from today).<br /><br />I was just thinking I like your tops on you on the more fitted, less boxy side. And also a little on the long side.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898066 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:59:04 +0000 Jaime 898066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My favorites are #4,#8 and #9 but seeing you with a sampling of your kids is the most fun! How old are the girls? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898057 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:56:44 +0000 hedgiehog 898057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love #9, it's my favourite. Also, the red skinnies look really great&nbsp;on you. I know what you mean about #5, maybe a neutral coloured top? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898054 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:55:58 +0000 pil 898054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 4, 7 and 9 are my favorites. I really like the quietness of the gray top with your floral jacket. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898039 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:49:39 +0000 Caro in Oz 898039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My favourite is #9 too - maybe without the scarf. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898023 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:44:58 +0000 Karie 898023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well it looks like you got your groove back, girlfriend!&nbsp;You look fab in all of these. My fav is #3, love the jacket. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-898004 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:37:27 +0000 Anonymous 898004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like #9 and don't think the scarf is too much. &nbsp;You make me want to go hunt down green jeans to copy this. &nbsp;I also especially like 1, your Easter outfit, &nbsp;4 &amp; 8, but they all look good. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-897987 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:27:00 +0000 Aida 897987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't think you look weird at all Amy, it could just be that you are getting a better idea of what fits/flatters you so you are able to be more discerning.This is a Good Thing! Question! Are you wearing boots/booties in #2? I'd like to see a detail of those if so. I think that combo is fine, though if you want a little more structure a woven top as the lower layer would probably make you feel a bit more crisp. For #4, the top either tucked or longer would be enough to balance the proportions there. Love #4 and #7! I don't find #5 garish (and quite like it!), but you know the type of colorful brights&nbsp;I like to wear so take that for what it's worth #8 is clean and minimal lovely, especially like how you're holding your purse (very Street Style Photo ^^). #9 looks great, but I bet a light colored belt would fix this outfit right up for you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-897925 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 23:40:39 +0000 Jules 897925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think I remember that pink/orange shirt. I think it's a bit much with the red jeans, would like to see it with denim, maybe open with a white t and scrunched sleeves. That would break up the (very pretty)&nbsp;pattern a bit.<br />Some great outfits here. Number 8 seems a little plain for you these days, maybe a scarf would help?&nbsp;<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-897917 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 23:35:54 +0000 Carla 897917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hard to pick a favourite, there are so many great combos. &nbsp;Your hair is looking particularly breezy and modern in these pics.<div><br /></div><div># 4, #5' and # 9 are tops for me.&nbsp;&nbsp;You sure do rock a coloured jean.</div> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-897906 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 23:28:49 +0000 Anonymous 897906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I quite like 9 on you! Did you try the shirt semi-tucked or untucked?<br />Your Easter look is very nice too! I can't believe it was warm enough for sandals....I wish!<br /><br />I don't think any of these are horrible...what is it you don't like about them? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-with-no-time-to-think#post-897884 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 22:55:55 +0000 amiable 897884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm MIA for the past couple of days, and more of the same to come &nbsp;two weeks away from the big conference of the year and work is crazy.<br /><br />And I don't even know what to wear for the conference! &nbsp;(A work shirt, duh...I'll probably post a WTW for that conference next week....)<br /><br />So here's what I've worn the past few days. &nbsp;I'm still awaiting pics from the Lion King with my husband's camera, so you'll have to wait for those. &nbsp;It was truly excellent.<br /><br />#1 Worn for Good Friday service<br />#2 Worn thrift-store shopping. &nbsp;I don't think it's a good combo (olive shirt, striped topper, blue jeans<br />#3 Black turtleneck with hounds tooth jacket and blue jeans. &nbsp;I liked the idea better than the implementation.<br />#4 Red jeans, blue jean top.<br />#5 Tried out a bright pink/orange top. &nbsp;I don't think I really like it much - it seems garish. &nbsp;Am I out of my mind?<br />#6 Easter Sunday with my girls.<br />#7 Easter Sunday to church. &nbsp;I had to change shoes later because these ones cut into my feet. &nbsp;I changed to my gray booties, which my husband preferred, but I didn't get a pic in them.<br />#8 Worn during the day Good Friday, for a quick change into the church outfit.<br />#9 Worn today. &nbsp;I feel like it's TMGO with the scarf, but it's keeping my neck cozy and warm. &nbsp;I think I need some spring scarves or something. &nbsp;I doubt this is the only thing off about the outfit, but I can't put my finger on what else.<br /><br /><br />Comments and suggestions more than welcome! &nbsp;I feel like I've been missing my groove lately and just look weird.
