(I want one).</p> <p>I also love the yellow butterflies paired with powder blue and silver (pale blue and silver is really great together to my eye), and it's fun to see the mint and lavender together also.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-casual-spring-pastels#post-1631806 Sat, 19 Mar 2016 01:14:39 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1631806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Easter egg outfit is my favorite of the lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-casual-spring-pastels#post-1631805 Sat, 19 Mar 2016 01:10:39 +0000 Anonymous 1631805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Geez Tanya! Angie is right . You do have the biggest and best assortment of clothes - and certainly know how to dress yourself perfectly . These are all styled , accessoried and thought out to the nth degree . Pastels are out of my wheelhouse , but you know how to wear them . And I hope you suggested your coworker go eat an Easter egg after a comment like that . People are so weird . And shoes ! You have the best shoes . I have no shoes Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-casual-spring-pastels#post-1631802 Sat, 19 Mar 2016 01:00:24 +0000 Aida 1631802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yummy and springy for sure! I'm especially drawn to the second outfit, though the pastel pairing in the third is super fun. Every tine you post outfits it is immediately apparent that you have a VERY well curated wardrobe. There's always a great mix of old and new, and it's especially fun to see older pieces and how you wear them over the years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-casual-spring-pastels#post-1631777 Sat, 19 Mar 2016 00:31:24 +0000 Tanya 1631777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for the trench coat info, Angie!&nbsp; I guess I will have to try it on which is not easy as there is no CM store in this area.</p> <p>Thank you for your kind words, JAileen, Diana, Zoiechic and Sheila!&nbsp; I am very happy to hear my outfits made someone smile and/or happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-casual-spring-pastels#post-1631734 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 23:27:42 +0000 Sheila 1631734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG I never say/write this but I just blurted it out!!!

The CM fits bigger everywhere for sure. As for the colour - it's warm - and you'd have to try it on to see. You do have that colour running through your hair, so it *can* work.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-casual-spring-pastels#post-1631696 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 21:47:12 +0000 JAileen 1631696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your metallic shoes are awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-casual-spring-pastels#post-1631692 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 21:45:21 +0000 Tanya 1631692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, Una and Angie! You are both very kind.</p> <p>Angie, yes, my S&amp;K cream trench is 8 years old.&nbsp; It is still my favorite trench.&nbsp; I really like the Club Monaco trench you got and am considering it, but would have to hunt it on sale as it is way out of my budget.&nbsp; I have two questions for you about it: how warm/cool is that shade of toffee - do you think I could pull it off?&nbsp; Also the sizing - my S&amp;K trench is XS but a bit tight in shoulders and upper arms.&nbsp; Would you say I would need XS or S in the CM one?&nbsp; Many thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-casual-spring-pastels#post-1631688 Fri, 18 Mar 2016 21:38:08 +0000 Angie 1631688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More Killer Gorgeous outfits, Tanya. <b>THERE IS NO END TO YOUR FABNESS. </b><i>Truly. </i>You&nbsp;have the<b> best</b>&nbsp;wardrobe<i>.&nbsp;</i>Imposiible to pick a fave.

With the daylight savings time going into effect&nbsp; past weekend, I have decided to start dressing as if it were spring. All the outfits were based on the same standby formula I have been using for the past couple of years. It is not terribly new but not dated either, and it it very comfy and a good FFBO. The formula is: fluid spring sweater semi-tucked into rolled tailored skinnies, comfy flats&nbsp; and a topper. Most of the items in these outfits are older, the only newer one are AT blue scarf from this winter and blush BR moto from early fall of last year.</p> <p> </div>The Monday version was based on baby blue (or serenity according to Pantone). The outfit consisted of fun stripes-and-butterflies JCrew sweater, baby blue Express skinnies, bone Fossil belt, silver SE oxfords and blue/silver plaid At scarf. It was finished with ancient Soia&amp;Kyo cream trench and bone BR satchel.</p> <p> </div>The Wednesday version featured blush (or rose quartz according to Pantone) in a form of a BR blush moto. This is a much better blush for me than the one of the Loft sweater from the older thread. The rest of the outfit was polka-dot Loft sweater, white AG skinnies, striped Express belt, rose gold Cole Haan Oxfords and same BR bone bag.</p> <p> </div>The Thursday outfit had two pastels, lilac and mint, and I was told by a coworker that I look like an Easter Egg :)&nbsp; It consisted of striped lilac Joe Fresh sweater, Express mint skinnies, silver studded Express belt and white Munro loafers. It was finished with cream Helmut Lang Vilous moto sweatshirt and silver RM satchel. </p>
