All of the pieces are a year or two old. Smocked white tee Denim skirt Shoes. I think the top worked well with the skirt and I was comfortable running errands. Angie on "Wiws: BUBBLED" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-bubbled#post-2414143 Fri, 29 May 2026 22:06:53 +0000 Angie 2414143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am FIRMLY back on Team Skirt thanks to current '80s influences on fashion! Waving to my Skirt Sisters :)  I love the '80s. I wanted to re-kindle my bubble skirt style as soon as the silhouette resurfaced. Took a while to land a perfect skirt. Needed the right bright, fit, fabric, length, and price. H&M had my skirt! H&M has DEFINITELY upped their game. Fantastic fabric, drape, soft knitted lining, and fit. Looks designer and cost $60.  It arrived very creased. I pressed it to look polished. It barely creases throughout the day. Versatile, and works with lots of my wardrobe.  Here are an assortment of bubble skirt outfits with different types of tops. Worn some looks already and felt AMAZING! The skirt moves beautifully, and is extremely comfortable and fun to wear. Playful Polish. (Maybe I should change my style moniker to this? Currently Urban Polish). <ul> <li>Oversized Fashion Sweatshirt (#1 to # 5) Accidental colour match! Two-Piece Dress. Worked with a client that day. Me in the COS dressing room in #5.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Shirt and Moto: (#6 to #10) Wardrobe essentials. Bag is BLUSH not cream. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Polo Top: (#11 to #13) Sportier. </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Cropped Open Weave Sweater and Denim Jacket: (#14 to #19):  Bespoke YORKIE jacket :) </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Denim Shirt: Complete with '80s paint splatter. </li> </ul> The FINDS below represent the new pieces. All other items are old, and very old. Thanks for looking. I have skirt wearing catching up to do! xo Laurie on "The Amazon dupe pants again" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-amazon-dupe-pants-again#post-2414140 Fri, 29 May 2026 21:22:28 +0000 Laurie 2414140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Because I'm a serial replicator, I got another pair of the Ruti <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FX4CDX1W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1&psc=1">dupe pants</a> from Amazon in white. Those who don't like to see the pockets through thin white pants will not be fans, but I find myself wearing these and the grey pair on rotation. They're so comfortable, and I even walk in them if I've been wearing them at my desk all day, and they're not hot. Anyway, grabbed some pics, nothing fancy. This BR Factory top is a recent purchase, and is cute. Runs big. Sun is OUT. Finally. Have a nice weekend everyone.

I ordered this thinking it would be just the thing and now feel kind of meh about it. My mother opines that it makes me look chunky. I say maybe that’s because I am chunky. She says be that as it may, it’s not usually her first reaction. What say you?

I still have to find a tie, my utility pants are my gardening pants and need to be replaced, but I think the rest will work.  bj1111 on "Everlane and the next chapter" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-and-the-next-chapter#post-2414133 Fri, 29 May 2026 17:27:19 +0000 bj1111 2414133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Everlane founder has new company <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/sharonedelson/2026/05/26/everlane-founder-michael-preysman-to-launch-new-brand/" rel="nofollow">https://www.forbes.com/sites/s.....new-brand/</a> <a href="https://stillradical.com/" rel="nofollow">https://stillradical.com/</a> bj1111 on "Speaking of sneakers…" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-sneakers%e2%80%a6#post-2414060 Fri, 29 May 2026 01:26:46 +0000 bj1111 2414060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So much this <a href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/rag-and-bone-retro-runner-slim-ultra-sneaker-women/8942531?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&breadcrumb=Home%2FAll%20Results&color=900" rel="nofollow">https://www.nordstrom.com/s/ra.....;color=900</a> Lisa on "WIW - French Blue From Day to Dinner" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---french-blue-from-day-to-dinner#post-2414110 Fri, 29 May 2026 14:21:37 +0000 Lisa 2414110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hello. I added this JCrew linen button up shirt last year in navy and found it so versatile to dress up or down with shorts and denim that I added the French Blue this year. For daytime I wore this French Blue JCrew linen button up shirt with white shorts with cognac accessories. Then I wanted a darker outfit for evening so I swapped the white shorts for dark wash jeans and navy suede heeled sandals for dinner with DH. The shirt pairs just as well with white bottoms as it does with dark bottoms to my eye. :) Thanks for looking! Ket on "Hiding a bad short haircut" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hiding-a-bad-short-haircut#post-2413954 Wed, 27 May 2026 17:07:33 +0000 Ket 2413954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am dealing with a haircut gone bad. Despite really discussing length and all the particulars with my stylist and doing a dry cut... the hair cut didn't turn out as expected. All the shag layers caused my curls to "boing" and shrink significantly. The goal shag turned into a round, 50s kind of style. I'm one week away from a baby shower out of state. :S Thinking I'll find a scarf in a coordinating color as my kaftan, and tie my hair up into a turban shape at this point. Ordered a blow-dry brush to straighten my hair with. If it helps, great. If it doesn't, I'll return it.  <div> </div><div>Photo 1: before. It actually was quite good, needed a little layering refresh.  Photo 2: 1950s Ava Gardner meets Hobbit (I'm laughing at myself, no worries) Photo 3: goal photo  </div><div> This summer will be the Great Growout. I once had hair even shorter than this (and truly more Hobbit than you can imagine) and somehow, it did finally grow out. :} I will need to be patient, especially since the curls shrink length.  Hubs is being kind and gentle. Little Man said, as only an innocent child can: "Mom, your haircut looks terrible. I do not like it." Ha! </div><div>I don't hate myself. But whew... not what was anticipated. Even my stylist remarked how short and curly it turned out. She's been my stylist for 3-4 years now, and this is the first time I've walked away secretly crestfallen. Yes, I could have said something. But there isn't really anything to save a heavily layered shag at this length -- without possibly going even shorter. A valuable lesson is now learned: the shorter and more layered my hair, the curlier and shorter it's going to be.  </div><div> </div><div>Anyone else have a goal haircut turn out differently than expected?</div><div>Anyone grow out a short haircut --or any haircut-- they didn't love? </div> uneasyshopper on "This denim skirt…classic or DATED?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-denim-skirt%e2%80%a6classic-or-dated#post-2413921 Wed, 27 May 2026 12:50:32 +0000 uneasyshopper 2413921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ In my closet, I rediscovered this Ann Taylor denim skirt with front slit. Slim fit. Hits mid knee. Well made. It’s several years old. Wear it or donate? TIA for your weigh-in! Janet on "Pointy-toe flat love" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pointy-toe-flat-love#post-2413813 Mon, 25 May 2026 13:46:08 +0000 Janet 2413813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These Coclico shoes came across my social media feed. Drooling. I have my one pair of pointed-toe flats (in Find below) that I’ve worn a LOT, even though I typically go straight from boots to open-toe sandals when the seasons change. They’ve ended up being more wearable and versatile than I expected. This particular pair reminds me of some I had in the early days of YLF. I think they were Jeffrey Campbell and had that iridescent finish, but they were a sort of gladiator style that was not super comfortable and I wore them infrequently. I wish these were less expensive. I love a pointed-toe flat regardless of trend (not a big fan of a round toe), so these are timeless for me. I don’t know if I’ll try them but they are so cute I wanted to share. There is a low-heeled version too, for something a little dressier. <a href="https://coclico.com/products/celeste-t-strap-flat-carbon?variant=42799664201794" rel="nofollow">https://coclico.com/products/c.....9664201794</a> L'Abeille on "My French girl spring" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-french-girl-spring#post-2413715 Sat, 23 May 2026 14:15:00 +0000 L'Abeille 2413715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hello all! Here's what I wore to work yesterday. After a few blissful warm days we had frost again, so long sleeves and the trench coat are back in the game. At least I've been able to remove the extra-warm lining. Ling sleeved striped T and black pants (I like these for work Fridays, they're cut like jeans but in a chino fabric). I was about to wear sneakers or loafers then realized the ballet flats pulled it more feminine (and French). The outfit still was missing something so I pulled out my favourite scarf. It's a small square in a William Morris print, purchased at the MET on my only trip to NYC. Some on the forum have commented that they feel too contrived wearing a neck scarf... For me, this is just how I dress (although I'm not always channeling Inès). Debbie on "Boho for today!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boho-for-today#post-2414044 Thu, 28 May 2026 22:05:43 +0000 Debbie 2414044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a lot going on right now and I have basically been living in yoga pants and feeling less than fab. I am working on self care and decided to make an effort today. Disclaimer this outfit will not be everyone’s cup of tea. The jumpsuit is from Natural Life with a plain T-shirt and sandals. An easy outfit that definitely made me feel better. I am going to make an effort to put together some fast fall back outfits so dressing is easy and I stay out of yoga pants except for yoga! Thank you for looking! bj1111 on "Remaking my closet—LOOOONG" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remaking-my-closet%e2%80%94loooong#post-2413890 Tue, 26 May 2026 23:13:14 +0000 bj1111 2413890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tl/dr I need to get dressed for work and maybe a garanimals system. I have literally gone thru 80% of my closet after a 20# weight loss and spent an afternoon rolling around in my closet. The bed pile (pic1) is AFTER I amassed two donation bags of saggy bottomed jeans and pull down pants—ie pants I can pull down without undoing the zip. Feels like starting from scratch. GOAL: 5 summer outfits that I can reach for and go to work. Work context. Boss always in a custom made suit. Not ostentatious, just well fitting and boss like. Boss’s boss is in jeans and a tee in the office when not presenting in front donors and the public. I would like to : —be appropriate to meet with both on the same day and match their vibe as a sign of respect for the office while still being authentic —minimize buying new clothes that won’t transition well to a retirement that while not imminent is not 10 years away. —remain appropriately dressed as I transition across the many areas of the city from Harlem to the UES to the LES. —sartorially KILLER TALL ORDER I know. You ladies have such great perspectives and a seemingly photographic memory. Finally ready to hear it. I have some candidate outfits. The first (pic 2) with the polka dot top is probably fine as is. Maybe a closed toe loafer that has come sort of element that reads like dots/spots for bookending the blouse. And no baseball cap Pic3 I like this although with shoes for work. Need a concept shoe to make more work appropriate. Like refined loafer in black or maybe the pointy toe suede espadrille. Or even the one of the one from pic8 Pic4 feels like something I should like but it doesn’t gel for me. Is it the pant? Is it the jacket? Pic5 I like the shape. The brooch is too much. Without it I’ve lost the interesting bit about the outfit and how do I make the sweater more summer hot? Don’t have a tee in this shape. Pic6 is solid work day —for summer I would carry the coat for the icebox office and swap the boot with tabi mary Jane’s? Pic7 you’ve seen. Work appropriate? I I get cold I can just repurpose the scarf? Thanks in advance.

They were bought at The Bay just before Covid. Drawstring elastic waist and it even has pockets. Kept things pretty simple with an equally breezy white gauze button-up top, then went a bit bolder with a black & white stripe tie-waist tee. The heat isn't going to last but I'm enjoying it while I can. Anyone else feeling the heat?

The green sweatshirt is not a particularly flattering color on me; the surgically altered navy sweatshirt is from DD’s elementary school days and she is now 32 y.o., and the gray sweatshirt is never warm enough. Sal on "Capsule for a long weekend" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-for-a-long-weekend#post-2413881 Tue, 26 May 2026 22:27:56 +0000 Sal 2413881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am off to Melbourne for five days and am packing right now.  It is winter, and will have a mix of cool and slightly wet weather.  But not freezing (5-18 degrees C) - I will be taking a checked bag. Activities will include watching sport (in the day), a comedy show and a musical at the theatre (matinee), seeing friends and family, and city walking, coffee etc.. The dressiest occasion is probably the theatre and I will wear the black trousers, cream cardigan and either boots or black shoes. Shoes One pair trainers (not shown) Navy sneakers Either cream boots or Mary Janes (which ones) Coats/Jackets Navy blazer Cord blazer Either guava wool coat and raincoat or tan columbia (which one) Other warm pieces puffer vest (not shown) cream cardigan Tops Brown and cream stripe long sleeve or denim shirt or both? Ecru and navy stripe tee (do I need this?) Navy turtleneck blue long sleeve (for walking under vest) blue, black and white tees (not shown - more for layering or walking) Bottoms Cream jeans Blue wide leg jeans Black trousers Black side stripe trackpants leggings x1 or 2 Bags Either black or rust (which one) Backpack (not shown in case we do a long day of city walking) A scarf as well and a couple of hats (one cap and one beanie) and a belt or two. Interested in - - Cream boots or Mary Janes - will probably only get one or two wears but I want one non sneaker option - which coat or coats?  I want one waterproof choice. - which handbag - black or rust - denim shirt or striped tee or long sleeve top (or all of them?) Looking forward to it!! Carol on "Over this sneaker" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/over-this-sneaker#post-2413907 Wed, 27 May 2026 03:59:07 +0000 Carol 2413907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This sneaker shape, this Adidas shape, so on trend...is something in any other year that I would love. With its sleekness, its sock-like quality, but like from a pro footballer...it has an undeniable style.  But it is kind of ubiquitous now. I cease to associate it with sweaty, determined soccer players, or cool French kids. Now I associate it with everything, everyone, everywhere...it feels a bit sanitized. I do have something kind of in this shape, and I still wear them frequently. But I am more excited now about the Adidas shell toe, a throwback to my raver days.  It looks like they are making them, so I will have that on my radar. In this flat-ish shape of shoe, I am still interested in sneakerinas. I don't know if I will make that happen. I know that most stylish people will experiment with everything...I guess I just have a certain thing with shoes.  Maybe with a tracksuit, though...I would wear either of these with a track suit. Bring back the sporty flavor.  Carol on "Raiders of the Lost Closet" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/raiders-of-the-lost-closet#post-2413849 Tue, 26 May 2026 13:49:28 +0000 Carol 2413849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think balloon pants just might be the ticket for an item I truly need this summer--especially something in a gauzy, light-colored fabric. They remind me of something...bazaars, deserts, baskets, embroidery...kidnapping? All of a sudden, I remembered where in pop culture I had seen this item, and it is the Karen Allen kidnapping scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jones), 1981. A memorable scene with lots of action, set in the  street of Cairo on a sunny, leisurely morning interrupted by men with knives and scimitars. Good thing she wore a low heel. This outfit is apparently more memorable than I realized, because it is an established Halloween costume, often a couples costume, alongside Indiana Jones. The whole outfit is cute, but I particularly like the low-heel wedge. That sounds like a great shoe to wear with these pants.  Ket on "Y/N Maxi Kilt Skirt" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yn-maxi-kilt-skirt#post-2413945 Wed, 27 May 2026 16:47:18 +0000 Ket 2413945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What do you all think of this skirt for me?  <div> </div><div>Today is the last day I can return it.

They are everywhere and at every price point and I've picked up a few. I used to fear looking like a flight attendant but I no longer care. This one is silk, and from Gap. I also love a good unlined car coat - and am glad that our lousy spring weather has afforded me the opportunity to wear my collection more than I ever have. This one is from Nice Things by Paloma S (a UK company ) and is at least a decade old . I marvel at the details and quality of construction (bound inside seams, horn buttons with the company name engraved around the edges etc). Crazy nylon pants from FP Movement which I LOVE for the white topstitching and zippers. A couple of years old . Platform sneakers - Janet also has these - which are also years old and whose name has worn off inside (Linnea Paolo or something like it) which I also love for the graphic details. Basic ribbed tank from Athleta . I felt good today - finally - after months of the opposite. I feel so much more like myself with lighter hair . Thanks for looking, and thank you , Helena for the inspiration !! Carol on "Red, white and blue and its potential" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-white-and-blue-and-its-potential#post-2413627 Fri, 22 May 2026 16:43:22 +0000 Carol 2413627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ There are two types of themed holiday clothing I like. The first would be Christmas/winter earrings and sweaters. The second would be most anything that has to do with the fourth of July. I like the fourth of July--with its base of red, white and blue, there are so many variations that can be made. Pretty much any display for that holiday I will stop by, and they are getting more and more tasteful and varied.  For a person like me who enjoys meaning, that is also available--there are country road/Sweet Home Alabama looks (pic 1 and 2), old-fashioned, Main street looks (pic 3, best I could find), polished Washington D.C. looks (pics 4 and 5), and straight graphic looks (pic 6). Oh, and how can I forget Tommy Hilfiger, the master of this color scheme (7)? I don't actually own anything 4th of July! But one thing that would make it more tempting would be something distinctly patriotic, but also just a fun item to wear the rest of the year.  In Angie's blog post today, she put up light, easy tops. One was this Boden (8), which I loved, and which would fit into that July 4-flexible category. It is a bit expensive, so I probably won't get it, but I do enjoy these things. I started this post without linking it to the blog post, so here it is: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2026/05/22/fab-finds-easy-tops/">https://youlookfab.com/2026/05.....easy-tops/</a> Are you a fan of July 4 clothing?

Do you have a lot, or are you like me...a great window shopper of these items?  Oh, and here is the Boden shirt: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://us.boden.com/products/women-pointelle-henley-t-shirt-blue-white-k1262ivo">https://us.boden.com/products/.....e-k1262ivo</a> MsMary on "WIW 5/21: Glee Club Concert" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-521-glee-club-concert#post-2413614 Fri, 22 May 2026 14:27:42 +0000 MsMary 2413614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Things have been very busy around here and I've been neglecting my outfit photos. Fortunately a friend snapped this pic last night at my Glee Club Concert so I thought I'd share. (I have a little white ribbon on my music folder to distinguish it from the music folder for my other choir, which has a little gold ribbon!)  Dress code was "concert black with a gold accent" and I was happy with how this turned out. The concert was super fun and now that it's in the rearview mirror, my husband and I are hopping on a plane today for 10 days in Italy! Yay! Any other singers out there?

Yesterday I had a trip to Auckland, a visit to IKEA, then to visit an Aunt, then to lunch at a rooftop seafood restaurant for my sister’s birthday, then drinks and then a comedy show and then home! My outfit had to last the 12 hours. It’s a shame I took the photo as I arrived home at 930pm. But it was comfortable, warm and appropriate for all those events! And I wore a brooch of my Mum’s. I felt this outfit mixed my sporty and bold and unfussy descriptors with the pattern mixing. My sisters both wore wide leg jeans and blouses and looked great. Today I had a local 50th birthday lunch with Prosecco and finger food. I wanted to wear my black long blazer and new skirt and so pulled out my old black top. I rewore the Scotch Thistle brooch as this top fights with a necklace with the high neck and tie. Lots of people used this as a chance to dress up so there were lots of lovely outfits. This time I took the photo prior to the event! This outfit was unfussy, elegant and maybe bold with the long jacket. But not sporty. The exercise to food ratio has not been too balanced but it was lovely to be a lady that lunches for two days in a row.

I’m bored of my clothes and bored of clothes in general. I know some steps to take, but some are hard (like making time to style my hair and apply makeup) and some require more sartorial skill than i currently have (like finding business looks that work in tropical heat). Mindlessly scrolling is so much easier! Sadly less effective, though. Any suggestions? Ways to follow through on what i know i need to do? Other ideas to spark interest again? kellygirl on "WIW and surprise Fabber meeting!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-surprise-fabber-meeting#post-2413291 Tue, 19 May 2026 03:52:44 +0000 kellygirl 2413291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ DDs were in town this weekend for a family wedding in Napa. It was at an estate outdoors—the venue and the bridal party was breathtaking. Everyone looked fantastic. Floor length dresses, midi dresses and even a few shorter cocktail dresses with fascinates. Quite the diversity! DD1 wore a dress she found at consignment in NY, DD2 found a gorgeous ruffle dress at Nordies and I found a dress at Marshall’s. (DD1 is the fashionista in the family so we had to get final approval from her before cutting the tags) We drove back to the bay area on Sunday and stopped at the local mall and who did I run into but Slimcat! It was quite a surprise and so much fun to meet her in person. She is as poised and elegant in person as she appears in the forum! It was quite the treat! 1 -travel clothes and stop for coffee in Napa 2- rehearsal 3- purse and jewelry 4- wedding attire Thanks for looking!
