But they look perfect on you. Great looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwflowers-for-%e2%80%98mother%e2%80%99#post-2145867 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 16:16:54 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2145867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>These are all fantastic!Those pants are so great for you. I like how you've paired white sneakers with the lighter top and black with the darker one. And the play of lavender and sage in the last outfit is so pretty. Each of these outfits gives a dose of feminine to the Army-like pants, and I really like the effect. <br /></div><div>I know you make masks; is the lavender stripe one self-made? It doesn't look like your others. Different pattern?<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwflowers-for-%e2%80%98mother%e2%80%99#post-2145853 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 14:45:22 +0000 PaulaF 2145853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool outfits!

The cold lasted two or three days. Ours is mostly aspen and some are orange or red. I am not sure we will go this year. I love your outfit. The pants remind me of my olive joggers I love all your stylings and am inspired. Earlier this week I wore them with a tropical leaf print top that was a gift. I need to look for more florals. One I have for fall is a mustard tee with a floral design that includes olive and rust..<br /> enjoy your leaves and take pictures. If you post the. On Facebook, you will see them in years to come too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwflowers-for-%e2%80%98mother%e2%80%99#post-2145795 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 04:00:39 +0000 slim cat 2145795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks - nothing to add/perfect!

My hair is about that long now on both sides - one side is still shorter and it looks different every day. Do you style it at all or just let it do its own thing?&nbsp;<br />Ok, on to the outfits. Converse + florals is so you! Love the mix of menswear and floral vibes. The trousers are so versatile and so you. Your personal style is fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwflowers-for-%e2%80%98mother%e2%80%99#post-2145782 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 01:54:53 +0000 nemosmom 2145782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy cow, you are on a roll! All of these are just great! I love how you have added a repurposed tie belt (in a print!!) to your pants - and the stripe matching with your mask! And, the popped collar?!? I am taking notes! I can’t possibly offer any styling tips - your styling is beyond perfect. </p> <p>PS - Suntiger: what a pretty bracelet!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwflowers-for-%e2%80%98mother%e2%80%99#post-2145776 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 01:37:17 +0000 Brooklyn 2145776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking about khaki pants myself. Very versatile - as you demonstrate. My favourite is no 2.

You are slim and lean enough to wear a crew neck well. Plus the dark colours really pop here . Great floral scarf too !<br /> I love leaf looking drives - isn’t fall wonderful ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwflowers-for-%e2%80%98mother%e2%80%99#post-2145766 Fri, 25 Sep 2020 00:58:59 +0000 Carla 2145766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Earlier this year I added a pair of ‘Mother’ cropped trousers to my closet. &nbsp;I wore them twice, and then hot summer started and only shorts would do. &nbsp;With cooler weather, I brought the new crops out to play. &nbsp;After 2 wears, I decided to tailor them for a better fit. &nbsp;After taking in t.he waistband and rear seam, &nbsp;they fit so much better. &nbsp;I’m pairing them with my current&nbsp;passion - large florals! &nbsp;Here are 3 outfits from this week.</p> <p> <div><br /></div><div>#1 - top is Old Navy sourced by Roxanna and lemminged &nbsp;by me. &nbsp;Love the super soft French terry fabric, and muted large print botanical motif.<br />#2 - very old Only and Son’s T-shirt from the men’s department (found by DH who announced on finding: ‘this looks like you!” &nbsp;Crew necks and men’s styling do not equate with figure flattery, but I love this T and will wear it until it is shreds.<br />#3,4,5,6 I’m very happy with this outfit - worn for a drive along country roads to do fall ‘leaf peeping’. &nbsp;DH and I stoped for a take-away lunch that we enjoyed at a secluded picnic spot with a view of a meandering stream. &nbsp;We were the only ones there. Thrifted men’s shirt, belt is a self tie from a dress repurposed, 8 yo jean jacket (MWWH), thrifted silk scarf (flowers and fruit), Converse sneakers,&nbsp;<i>and&nbsp;</i>new beaded bracelet made for me by our very own&nbsp;<b>suntiger!<br /></b><br />I’m open to styling tips/suggestions, and thank you for reading... </p> <p> </div><div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></p>
