And I agree, I don't wear graphic tees for style and would never buy one I couldn't relate to. But I tend to really love the ones that speak to me and I usually wear them happily for ages. Thank you for sharing this story about your son. I basically learned English with Harry Potter, more than at school. I didn't want to wait for the translation and read them in English, even though I maybe only understood every third or fourth word at first! Now as an adult I often prefer to read the original over the translation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates/page/2#post-1670552 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 09:36:08 +0000 Staysfit 1670552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Astrid, I love all these looks for you. My favorites are 1,3 &amp; the last look because of the Hogwarts tee. Harry Potter and Hogwarts have a special place in my heart as the parent of an autistic boy who after hearing me read the first Harry Potter Book out loud, wanted to repeatedly listen to the book on tape version, and then he read and re-read each book multiple times on his own. I am convinced his vocabulary and his wonderful language skills are from that book series. Many thanks to J.K. Rowling. Also to Tolkein which followed after (for him).</p> <p>I love tees that have a personal meaning or that trigger a personal meaning for someone else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates/page/2#post-1670510 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 05:22:09 +0000 Astrid 1670510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Amy!</p> <p>Skylurker, not a Weasley, more like Hermione when I had long hair. ;)</p> <p>Thanks Ledonna!</p> <p>Thanks Sharan - not sure I want to hem the tee. I actually like the length with most of my other pants. I might pin it up to see how that would look. And I'm definitely glad Amazon came through, this was the first time I had an issue. All in all I think my eyes just needs to get used to the grey and then it will be fine! After four years of burgundy sneakers it might have been time for a change in any case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates/page/2#post-1670409 Wed, 01 Jun 2016 00:36:50 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1670409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great looks, Astrid, and your summer wardrobe looks to be in good shape. I agree with the others that #1 is really smashing--such a&nbsp; sleek, modern look. I like the idea of semi-tucking in 4, and I wondered if you might just hem the tee, too, to a length like the one in 2.&nbsp; <br />To me, the gray looks like it will be perfect with just about everything, even though the red was a fun color. It's too bad they didn't last, but good that Amazon stood behind the product. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1670346 Tue, 31 May 2016 23:10:27 +0000 Ledonna N. 1670346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 is killer the length and the fit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1670240 Tue, 31 May 2016 20:06:09 +0000 skylurker 1670240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, cat's out the bag...and with that red hair ?

Great to hear the bermudas get so much love. They are so easy to wear and comfortable and I like the way the look with my sandals too. </p> <p>@Skylurker, help - you found me out...

Shopping has been a bit difficult because I didn't want to go for fast fashion, so I'm glad I already can make do with what I have fairly well. Now I just need some shortsleeved tops and tees! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669980 Tue, 31 May 2016 07:51:12 +0000 Maneera 1669980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your cropped jeans look absolutely fantastic, Astrid. Such a great fit! And #1 is fabulously Stylish! My fav of this bunch! I also really like #5 - casual yet smart because those grey sneakers really make this look. </p> <p>You're looking fantastic this summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669941 Tue, 31 May 2016 03:08:30 +0000 cobaltblue 1669941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see you!

I it's such a treat to see you. I love your style. Everyone of these is fab but I absolutely love the striped Bermuda outfit<br /> In 1.

The pinstripe shorts...now those are shorts I might wear (not a shorts person generally). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669898 Tue, 31 May 2016 01:57:50 +0000 Anonymous 1669898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good to see you, Astrid. I really like 1, 2 and 3 and agree with Tanya that the tee in 4 looks too long. A semi tuck or shortening it could make a difference. You might even try tucking it and pulling out a little of the fabric to blouse over the waistline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669892 Tue, 31 May 2016 01:47:21 +0000 Jaime 1669892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my kind of outfit!

They are great. The crops are also looking wonderful. Those grey sneakers are excellent.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669867 Tue, 31 May 2016 01:18:53 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1669867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, it's nice to see you again, Astrid. I like the look in #1 very much for you.</p> <p>(also I'm enjoying the earrings from a secret santa a while back) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669863 Tue, 31 May 2016 01:14:52 +0000 Windchime 1669863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking great, Astrid! The pinstripe bermudas are perfect for you, and I love the striped tops on you, too. The grey sneakers are really cute, too, even if they're not red. It looks like you're in good shape for summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669821 Mon, 30 May 2016 23:12:51 +0000 Astrid 1669821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sally. I regularly wear the green tee from #4 with the cropped jeans. It's just so comfortable and breezy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669819 Mon, 30 May 2016 23:06:45 +0000 Sal 1669819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific. &nbsp;I love 1 as well, and 2 3 5 are all perfect summer looks. &nbsp;I hope the new sneakers work out.</p> <p>I agree the top in 4 is a little big, it might work well with cropped jeans though.</p> <p>Your hair and glasses look wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669816 Mon, 30 May 2016 23:00:05 +0000 Astrid 1669816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Smittie! Yes, no idea what was up with that, my old pair didn't have holes after three years of heavy duty. Hopefully the new ones won't have that problem. </p> <p>Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669784 Mon, 30 May 2016 21:06:12 +0000 Angie 1669784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could just eat you up in #1, Astrid. LOVE that you're showing skin with dark colours. You are ADORABLE.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669777 Mon, 30 May 2016 20:59:22 +0000 Anonymous 1669777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the first look. The pinstripes, length, and width of those shorts is great. I like how you've paired them with a simple top. Looks good!<br /> Also like those sneakers. Too bad about the lining, geez, that sucks.<br /> Really like the grey sneakers with the black jeans. The tomboy look suits you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669771 Mon, 30 May 2016 20:52:45 +0000 Astrid 1669771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Tanya! Yes, the tee in #4 is quite big on me... I'll try a semi-tuck next time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x5-with-some-updates#post-1669770 Mon, 30 May 2016 20:46:45 +0000 Tanya 1669770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing outfits, Astrid.&nbsp; The first three are gorgeous, the proportions and colors look really good together.&nbsp; The only one I would tweak is #4, the tee looks a bit long, maybe semi-tuck? Love the sneakers, I think they are going to be very versatile. </p>
