The shoes are really key in most of these outfits too.&nbsp; And I agree with shevia that you've demonstrated how it's not required to have a third piece "topper" to look stylish and pulled together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488753 Fri, 08 May 2015 03:22:53 +0000 Jaime 1488753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect examples of how summer dressing can be fab even without the hallowed third piece. I love the peplum on you! And as always I am looking with interest at your shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488746 Fri, 08 May 2015 03:09:39 +0000 Sveta 1488746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your summer looks are simply perfect Tanya! I am especially smitten with #5 - you wear that peplum to perfection and this is something I was never able to muster.<br />Looks like your orchid linen sweater from JCrew did not fade as much as mine or Suz's...love you in that color! </p> <p>Today was our first "summer" day too - the kind when you are desperate for shade at noon..and our last snow was only 2 weeks ago...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488721 Fri, 08 May 2015 02:20:38 +0000 Karie 1488721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're having summer weather here too. First it was 20 degrees below average, now 20 degrees above average. Crazy! We skipped spring for now, anyway. Maybe we'll get spring when summer's supposed to come.</p> <p>I've been doing the same thing - sticking to easy, two piece outfits. The ones you've shown here are gorgeous. That J.Crew linen top is a beautiful color for you, and I love the coral shorts.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488591 Thu, 07 May 2015 23:09:51 +0000 Tanya 1488591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies!&nbsp; Glad that their is an approval of the outfits, as I will be pretty much wearing something like this&nbsp; the whole next 5 months. </p> <p>Joy, yes, those Madewell shoes are TTS.<br />Ledonna, I think that my favorite was #5 with the peplum but I liked them all.<br />Carambola, I have a very long torso, and that H&amp;M peplum works on me.&nbsp; It is very fitted so I sized up from my usual XS which as skintight to S. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488437 Thu, 07 May 2015 18:47:02 +0000 Dee 1488437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in a peplum! My favorite is #4 though. I love the bright pink with the darker jeans. But you make the two-piece look work really well and hopefully you're weren't too hot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488313 Thu, 07 May 2015 16:14:47 +0000 Daria 1488313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the looks, and you have such a nice collection of belts that they certainly serve as 3rd piece if needed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488292 Thu, 07 May 2015 15:52:13 +0000 Karin L H 1488292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the looks, but #5 is def my favourite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488284 Thu, 07 May 2015 15:47:02 +0000 carambola 1488284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am particularly enamored with 5 and 6, but wow - you look fantastic in all of these! </p> <p>I am tempted by&nbsp;the H&amp;M top. I have a long torso and the waist on peplums never hit me in the right spot, so I love that this doesn't seem to have a defined horizontal line. Can I ask how the sizing is? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488208 Thu, 07 May 2015 14:15:20 +0000 Angie 1488208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wooohoooooo. Summer weather on the East Coast. It's about time. </p> <p>Killer Casual Looks, Tanya.&nbsp;</p> <p>I LOVE #1. The colours instantly put me into a happy mood. And you in that peplum in #6 is perfection. Enjoy your new BR bag.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488201 Thu, 07 May 2015 14:05:03 +0000 Ledonna N. 1488201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5 is the truth love the peplum look. All look well put together.What was your favorite look for the week? How did you feel wearing it? You are really great with the rolled pant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488198 Thu, 07 May 2015 13:55:07 +0000 Anonymous 1488198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Each of these outfits is wonderful, but I want to steal #6 off your back. Those cool neutrals look fab on you. Do the Madewells you are wearing run true to size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488194 Thu, 07 May 2015 13:46:13 +0000 Diana 1488194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3 and #5! It's been in the 80s here this week too. I'm hoping it cools down just a bit because I've not gotten to wear a lot of my spring pieces yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488184 Thu, 07 May 2015 13:25:18 +0000 Sara L. 1488184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great warm-weather outfits!&nbsp; I especially like #5 with the peplum top.&nbsp; I think these do a good job of illustrating the point about adding interesting without a third piece.&nbsp; Belts, shoes and accessories can add the necessary interest in warm weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x6-simple-casual-outfits-for-summer-in-may#post-1488181 Thu, 07 May 2015 13:20:59 +0000 Tanya 1488181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Dee has already mentioned in <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-pieces" rel="nofollow">her post</a>, it is already summer here in DC area, and May has just begun! I was hoping that it might be just a temporary heat wave, but the forecast shows the opposite.&nbsp; True spring has decided to simply skip us this year.<br />While I love to use a vest as a third piece in the hot weather, the sudden arrival of the summer has caught me mentally unprepared, so I haven't had the energy to make vests work yet.&nbsp; Instead, I stuck to simple 2-piece outfits. I tried to add interest through interesting shoes, bags and belts, semi-tucking, and occasional color or pattern; all the time while following the rules of covered toes and legs.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here are the outfits:</p> <p>#1, Saturday 5/2: worn for casual errands, and another take on Angie's most recent ensemble formula of <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2015/04/30/ensemble-rust-light-blue-gold/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2015/04/.....blue-gold/</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp; I combined a light blue J Crew linen sweater with old coral H&amp;M shorts.&nbsp; The accessories were a gold-studded cognac Gap belt, leopard DVF slipper flats with gold back and burnished gold clutch.<br />#2, Sunday 5/3: worn in the evening when&nbsp; it cooled off a little to go over to a friend's place.&nbsp; Black sheer striped Loft pullover, Rock&amp;Republic tuxedo relaxed skinnies, and matching Nine West taupe zebra belt and pointy flats.<br />#3, Monday 5/4 work: I combined a pink kitty silk Sandro blouse with TR Briannas, with stone accessories: Fossil perforated belt, All Black pointy mini wedges and new BR satchel.<br />#4, Tuesday 5/5 work: I went for a slightly warmer outfit as I was spending the whole day in a very cold room. J Crew orchid linen sweater, COH Racer skinnies, white studded J Crew belt and white Munro loafers, with the same BR satchel.<br />#5, Wednesday 5/6 work: a little bit of waist definition for a change.&nbsp; H&amp;M teal peplum top and 7FAMK cream skinnies, with the addition of cream Kooba bag, tan ankle strap DV flats and teal patterned silk scarf.<br />#6: Thursday 6/6 work: cool neutrals in Helmut Lang mixed media top with grey Gap linen pants.&nbsp; Added grey ankle strap suede Madewell wedges, silver J Crew belt and silver RM satchel. </p> <p>As always, all the comments and suggestions are welcome! </p>
