But now&nbsp;triathlon! Ever since I read about your forum name, I think of you when I have my crisis during running. I've kind of started, again (a lot of&nbsp;stress, a bit of flab&nbsp;and I have a nice little forrest just under my balcony, so 2 and 2 make 4) and&nbsp;I call myself runornella.&nbsp;And now you threw triathlon into the mix. Cruel :-D</p> <p>Ok, the clothes (that's what we're here for, right): super outfits. So fresh and fun. Especially love all yellow and grey in #1, top in #2 and #3, everything in #4.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweekend-travel-tried-again#post-989441 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:23:28 +0000 rachylou 989441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! Cool bling!</p> <p>I really like your hair pulled/brushed back from your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweekend-travel-tried-again#post-988927 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 03:57:40 +0000 Carla 988927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to those who provided comments/suggestions. It is a revelation to me that the apple green top gets such good comments, and I will file this away for future reference. </p> <p>Kkards, you have a good point about untucking the top. Tucking just doesn't seem to work with my short waist. I do try it every once in a while so I can showcase a belt, but I agree, it isn't my best look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweekend-travel-tried-again#post-988309 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 13:31:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 988309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Carla - congratulations on your incredible achievement!</p> <p>You have really hit your summer "style stride". I think every single one of these outfits works really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweekend-travel-tried-again#post-988277 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 12:54:53 +0000 pil 988277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your race - how impressive!

Gotta love the bling!</p> <p>May I second the comments re the shade of green on you? Wonderful against your skin tone. Love how figure flattering and chic outfit #3 is on you.<br /> I think that is your "bargain" jacket here too? Very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweekend-travel-tried-again#post-988038 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 03:01:23 +0000 Carla 988038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Torontogirl, Suz, gaylene, the top in #3 is a BCBG top I got about 4 or 5 years ago, but it is a favourite and whenever I wear it it I feel fab! It goes with everything from black pencil skirt to jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweekend-travel-tried-again#post-988022 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 02:47:24 +0000 Gaylene 988022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, congratulations on the "bling" and your time. Very impressive!</p> <p>I'm with Suz in loving #3 with #4 a close runner-up, but I have to say how much I like that green top on you--that shade really lights up your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweekend-travel-tried-again#post-988005 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 02:29:54 +0000 Suz 988005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the successful race! And you succeeded brilliantly with outfit #3 in showing your style! Great outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can't believe you ran in that heat, although Saturday, if you can believe it, was about a million times&nbsp;better than earlier in the week. Phew!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweekend-travel-tried-again#post-987997 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 02:06:21 +0000 Helena 987997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, you look great and I especially absolutely LOVE outfit #3 on your ... the fit, color, pattern, the whole lot looks fantastic! And congrats on the race bling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwweekend-travel-tried-again#post-987987 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 01:48:27 +0000 Carla 987987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Travelled to Toronto (10 hr. drive South) through some rather horrible rainy conditions, but arrived safely in the end. Participated in my third sprint distance triathlon of the season, and got my best time of the year, second best time ever. So very humid, so you must forgive the very bad hair. Also, please forgive the questionable footwear ( flip flops) on day 3 as my feet were quite beat up after the race.</p> <p>Tried to dress fashionably casual for hot and humid weather. The blue checked shorts are older, bought as 'resort wear' for a first time ever winter vacation in an exotic warm locale, and often at the bottom of the drawer and forgotten. They are about 6 years old. Thought I'd try to rescue these closet orphans. </p> <p>#1 travel day<br /> #2 in Toronto, race orientation and course recon, visiting a bicycle store for gear<br /> #3 after the race, shopping at the Eaton Centre<br /> #4 the drive home<br /> #5 new race bling</p> <p>Comments, and or styling suggestions always welcomed. </p>
