Uniqlo is fast becoming my first stop when I cruise the mall.  Every other year I add one of their merino wool crew neck sweaters to my collection.  The 6 yo red one has 65 wears, and looks as good as my newest brown one - with 18 wears.  Half-moon bags, joggers, thermal wear, puffers - all get top marks from me.  Recommend, recommend! Levis - their denim never lets me down, and they have some other interesting garments - usually natural fibres.  Though I had to reattach a button on my new cropped trench, I’m quite pleased with the style and comfort of the piece - with an excellent price point. Naturalizer footwear.  Leather!  Low heels.  Interesting styles.  The perfect last for my foot.  <div> </div><div>I only have two items from Anain - a Canadian brand.  Their Cashmino knitwear are the warmest items in my closet.  Not particularly fashionable, but I love my older tuque, and my newer ‘boyfriend’ sweater.  Worn 27 times and washed once (cold water, delicate cycle, laid flat to dry).  No shrinkage, and no pilling yet.) </div><div>Over to you…</div> Suz on "Team Wear" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/team-wear-8#post-2409465 Wed, 01 Apr 2026 23:41:03 +0000 Suz 2409465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The Helly Hansen short trench arrived remarkably quickly and I tried it on again yesterday and this morning.  First photos are again with wide leg jeans. It looks a bit brighter in these photos than IRL because it was sunny and also I had to increase exposure due to the window situation The colour in #6 is slightly greyer than IRL. Somewhere in between is the true colour. Not my absolute best, but it I think it is okay.  This morning I put it on with a skirt to see how that would work and ended up wearing it out the door. It rained this afternoon as I was walking home, so I guess I'm keeping it!  Worn over oversized cardigan -- it fits fine that way.  It's quite a nifty little jacket! The hood is fabulous. Adjustable and removable.  Suz on "In which I break my vow" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-which-i-break-my-vow#post-2411014 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:00:02 +0000 Suz 2411014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ When I read this blog post, on Friday, apart from a pair of pajamas, I did not own a single item in soft pink. Or any kind of pink. Why? Not because I dislike pink. Cool and even neutral pinks flatter my skin tone, and over the years, I've bought pink top after pink top after pink top. Only to avoid wearing them! Somehow, pink items always end up feeling too sweet for my taste. I put them on, and then take them off in favour of something else. Tired of wasting money, three years ago I absolutely swore off all pink except for PJs, undies, and loungewear. Until Saturday's shopathon, that is.  More on the amazing Seattle gathering later, but for context, I was absolutely in the market for a cropped and fairly fitted denim jacket to replace one of my earliest YLF purchases that had finally given up the ghost after 14 years.  We'd tried a number of options in the adult sections of different stores without success. Then I reminded Angie that I'd got a previous white denim jacket in the kids' section of Old Navy. (A detail she remembered, by the way. She has a memory for people's wardrobes like you would not believe.) Anyway, while at the Gap, we headed to the kids' section. There, I found my blue denim jacket! Better yet, it cost less than a third of the price of the cheapest adult option we had seen. I also wanted a white version, which they did not have. But -- you guessed it -- they did have a soft pink number. If I'd been shopping on my own, I'd have walked right past it. In fact, I did walk right past it without even seeing it! But when the lovely Nuancedream pointed it out and encouraged me to give it a try, I couldn't say no. Meanwhile, the patient Firecracker and Angie held my stuff and offered opinions. What can I say? Gap had a Buy one, get one half price deal going on. that day. It seemed like a sign.  I have owned this jacket now for four days and have already worn it three times. So much for not wearing pink! What makes it work for me? Angie's trick of pairing it with something high contrast, for starters. Also, this jacket is a slightly "dirty" colour -- a greyed out pastel, rather than one mixed with a lot of white. Normally, I prefer clearer, less muted colours, but here, the grey takes some of the sweetness away from the pastel and makes it feel easier (to me!) to wear. More on the other items and our amazing fun get together  in a later post!

This is a catch up post. I always enjoy restyling one item different ways. Here's 4 ways I've worn moss green pants for WFH days over the past few weeks. #1 - Chambray Shirt and White Tank #2 - White and Navy Striped Tank and Navy Knit Blazer #3 - Ivory and Navy Striped Tee and Navy Terry Shirt #4 - White Shirt My favorite is #3, ivory and navy striped tee with the navy shirt. Do you have a favorite combination?

Are you a linen lover? <div> </div><div> </div> Angie on "WEEK #2 of Fabiversary!!! (Pics Galore)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/week-2-of-fabiversary-pics-galore#post-2411060 Wed, 22 Apr 2026 03:06:36 +0000 Angie 2411060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Anna, Inge and I went out for brekkie earlier last week in awesomely edgy, grungy, and gritty Capitol Hill - my old stomping ground before moving to our loft - and had a wonderful time! Laugher, and sharing like old friends was very welcome. Anna was wearing cats! I was wearing Yorkies - the Yorkie Levi's jacket Anna found for me!!!  :)  Fabulous Queen Sassy Kyle flew in from Arizona to be with us, and the fun and shopping continued in full force!!! We had incredibly supportive  conversations like besties, and braved the crazy wet and windy Winter weather on foot in style! Our raincoats are KILLER awesome! We stayed dry! We shopped up a storm, and put together a brilliant smart casual capsule for Inge in blues and whites. ESSENTIALS!! I'm sure Inge will share that with you when she's back in Belgium. Apart from shopping and yakking till the cows come home, we ate at our favourite restaurants in my neighbourhood in Belltown, and walked in the arboretum. Kyle's wisdom, warmth, and fabness is always a treat We had to eat at her favourite Malaysian restaurant! Oh! And Inge looked soooooo good in a pair of Aritzia navy pinstriped trousers that I had to get them too. Kyle and Suz have them on order! Influenced quadruplets!  Kyle and Suz met! Although we forgot to take a pic :(  Suz came in from Victoria, Canada - (2.5 hr Clipper boat ride that docks right outside our loft!) - a couple of days before the BIG gathering on Saturday to get extra FABBING and shopping in with us! We shopped all day at the big mall - which meant I DROVE - and Suz hit the jackpot. Suz will share her treasures with you herself ;)  We got together again with Anna for the best Hong Kong food in Seattle and had a very animated evening! We laughed and engaged with enormous familiarity.  Suz stayed another two days - and more about that later.  KILLER FABULOUS ALL ROUND!!! Thank you sooo much Kyle and Suz for traveling to see us!!! TOUCHED. Thank you Anna! We loved seeing so much of you! You all made YLF's 20 years extra special and I'm in awe. Love your GOOD energy. xo Sal on "WIW 1970s wide legs go to work" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1970s-wide-legs-go-to-work#post-2411023 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:42:00 +0000 Sal 2411023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am on a wide legs mission this week. Today for work I wanted to wear my navy turtleneck and cream jeans. I always like to sandwich so I chose my trusty navy boots again. Added my cord jacket for warmth. I tried my cream handbag but it felt a bit contrived so chose the terracotta. It feels a bit Mary Tyler Moore to me. No beret though sadly.

The jeans are from maybe last year, the sweater and jacket are very old, and the scarf is a souvenir from the WWI museum in Melbourne, Australia last year. The bag is a few years old, too. 3. This outfit is from Monday. I had a lunch date with a friend and the weather was kind of not-warm but not-cool. I ended up feeling a little frumpy in the cropped pants, but not everything is a home run, right? I do love the new top with the quilted jacket from last year. 4. Today is our weekly Rotary Club lunch and it's pretty cool so I'm wearing my fun knitwear while I can. Red sweater is from last year and the striped cardi/jacket was a Christmas gift this year. Booties are a few years old, too. And the necklace is from last year. Big fun! Thanks for looking! Anybody else dealing with chilly temps even though the calendar says spring? Kyle on "Travel bag recommendations" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/travel-bag-recommendations-1#post-2410977 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 14:06:17 +0000 Kyle 2410977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What kind of a backpack or tote (and what color?) do you travel with? I’m talking about a nice looking piece you would carry on to an airplane but that also works for a day of walking around or touring. I’m partial to a soft backpack — it’s what I’ve used for eons — but I’m open to hearing about other options and how they work for you — because this old thing isn’t cutting it style wise and it’s way past time for an upgrade.

Also some Sam Edelman espadrilles that I was admiring in Bloomie's and Angie agreed fit my aspirational summer wardrobe plan. Subsequently found them on discount at Zappo's so had to order to give them a try. I'm putting them through their inside-the-house comfort paces before committing, but so far signs look good. The stinkin' cute sweatshirt is Barbour via Ebay. Good for dressing down skirts! Thanks for looking!

Big fun! The skirt jumped out of a store window in Italy and followed me home a few years ago. Shirt and loafers are a couple of years old and the bag is also from Italy -- my husband brought it back from a trip when we were dating, more than ten years ago. Denim jacket is new this year. We're not allowed to wear heels in the house so I was beautifully comfy in my loafers! Thanks for looking!

Thanks to Fabbers previous input I am sorted for the wedding. The reception is held on a later date. It is a picnic with a bounce house for the kids. I have chosen a pair of flowy lantern style pants in a print. I am still sorting out my topper. I was wondering about trying some mesh flats, but am not sure if that would be too much pattern on the bottom? Those who have had mesh flats for awhile what kind of bottom do you lean towards ? A pattern or do you stick with solids? LJP on "What are we doing about.....poor quality clothing ?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-are-we-doing-aboutpoor-quality-clothing#post-2410783 Sat, 18 Apr 2026 20:35:52 +0000 LJP 2410783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ We've discussed the general downward trend in clothing quality here on the forum - and I'm curious what we/are doing about it. I consider myself pretty well informed about garment construction and fabric quality, but I've been let down by 4 pieces in the last week - which are at different stages of life in my wardrobe but still relatively new. 1. I wore my Spanx AirEssentials track pants to work the other day, and while sitting outside in bright daylight, notice tiny pills forming all over the pants (Angie wrote about this) . Barely discernible but I see them. I bought these late last summer and maybe wore them 2x before putting them aside for winter. They have not been through a full wash cycle (only a steam refresh) . They were $130 Cdn, and have rave reviews on the website. I wrote a review on the site , and sent an additional email. No reply. The fabric content is a mix and does include polyester (a common offender). 2. A sweatshirt from Splendid (a US casual wear company - sold here by an indie boutique/spa/salon - pilled SO badly after it's first wash last week ( which was way after any return period offered by the boutique ) it's no longer wearable. Oh and surprise, surprise, it has some polyester in it. UGH. It's a beautiful cafe coloured French Terry top and Splendid pieces usually do well for me. Purchased late last summer and worn a couple of times before the season ended. Paid about $125 for it. Wrote the company and got a "sorry we can't help you with pieces sold wholesale to another store" reply. 3. A Yaya Woman (which always shows up as some massmarket US company when one googles it but it's a Dutch company sold in one indie boutique here ) fine gauge sweatshirt style sweater I bought 2 years ago has been washed once, worn maybe 5-6 times and is pilled and worn looking. Can't really be shaved as it's quite a fine gauge knit. I think I paid about $160-170 for it. I've bought a fair number of pieces from the brand BECAUSE of the quality and design. Wearing it today around the house but am ready to chuck it. Won't go back to the boutique to complain because I'm a regular there and also get a sales rep discount now. No action to take . And guess what - more polyester in with the cotton. 4. A 100% cotton heavy cotton jersey top from Aritizia - purchased a couple of weeks ago at $65.00. Washed it last weekend and now it's stretched out at the hem, cuffs and neck and looks worn and cheap. Left a review on their website and apparently I'm not the only one with this issue. Too late to return, and Aritizia tends not to care if you live or die unless you are a 30 year old . Can't wear this one outside of the house now. Polyester is/was added to knits and wovens to help with fabric stability and strength , and longevity! It also helps fabric hold dye. I admit that I didn't realize that the two tops mentioned above had poly in the blends - of course the Spanx pants contain polyester and that was expected. But it polyester so bad now that it's going to pill? I have 2cheap sweatsuits from GAP/Costco that are full of poly and have washed and worn like iron this past winter. This goes against my natural/small maker ethos I know but.....for at home wear I need inexpensive and hardwearing stuff . I don't want to spend my time and energy writing reviews and complaining to companies about their poor-quality clothing, but what the heck can we do about issues like this that don't appear right away? I clearly need to be better at examining labels when shopping and stop assuming I know what's in a fabric just by looking at it. At least $500 Cdn worth of clothes that didn't perform, and 2 of which are going into the garbage, unfortunately . The Spanx pants are still ok for now......

This week is more in person work days than is the norm for me, which means I'm reaching for my go to business casual combination, a blazer, boots, and jeans. Today the fuchsia blazer wanted to be the star of the outfit, I grounded it with a blue and white striped JCrew button-up shirt, a white short sleeve tee underneath for some extra warmth, dark wash Lucky Brand jeans which are on repeat this week because the darker wash is ideal for business casual settings and they pair so well with boots. Black Franco Sarto boots and Black Hermes belt finished the outfit. Thanks for looking! Janet on "Kicking myself" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kicking-myself#post-2410974 Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:47:21 +0000 Janet 2410974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I gave away my white lug-soled fisherman sandals at the end of last summer because they were seeming a little worse for wear, and I’d tired of them a bit. Now I wish I still had them! Something about the presence of a substantial-soled white sandal is appealing to me this season, even though it might not be trending hard anymore. I think I’m seeking some edge, but in a white sandal, which is hard to find. Not so flat. I have white flip-flops and I’m not feeling them yet (I think they will come back into rotation later, in the summer months). I ordered these to try, but several years ago I tried some Fly London and the fit was too wide. The vibe is what I like, and my feet may have changed a little, so I decided to try again. Also thinking of those crazy Sorels because Sorel has worked for me well in the past, and the Nero Giardini ones. The platforms add a bit more presence. Any other suggestions to try?

Yesterday I pulled out my old pink sweater (2020) and my even older navy boots (2018). Worn with new jeans (2026)  and a scarf from Paris (2025). Photo was taken after 11 hours at work so not the best! I don’t think the scarf quite worked here - the colours feel a bit off to me.  I did wear my terracotta bag (2024) but it is not in the photo.  Next time I think I would swap the pink for navy, or maybe the navy boots for yellow sneakers or cream boots. Today I wore my green cashmere (2024), old black and white platform Rollies (2021)  and debuted a new belt (2026). I prefer this outfit. I do enjoy wearing old and new together- I find it very satisfying. Both sweaters are classic, the jeans are current but also classic, and the shoes are past being trendy... Thanks for looking! ETA - it's haircut and colour week as you can probably tell.....

Yesterday I went to Traders Joes and the Loft is across the street. I remember seeing an email saying they were having a preview and a contest. I decided I had a few minutes and I would look. I looked around didn’t have time to try anything on but I registered for the outfit. I WON! They called last night. I won 3 pieces 2 clothing and one accessory. I am excited. I will made some time this week to go try them. I will post what I get.

I may have a rep here for being a cheerleader for skinny jeans. This is not really accurate. I love straight jeans. I have never worn low-rise skinnies as they do not work on my body shape. I have a few skinnies with a higher rise but they have not fitted for five years. Well they fit now and I don't love them. There I said it. For all the same reasons some of you said; too restrictive, look dated, uncomfortable. High Five to all of you who feel this way, I'm now on your team. No barrels for me yet but Team Looser Jeans going forward.

My new short trench went into rotation this past weekend while I was away on a trip, and I am very happy with it. It’s the Nordstrom Stretch Cotton Trench Coat (can’t do Finds on my iPad). <div> </div><div>I did size down and prefer this fit, finding it less overwhelming. I picked Beige Oatmeal, stepping away from Black with admirable self-restraint haha. Surprisingly, I think this color works for me—I didn’t find it too warm at all.

This tee is old/new from eBay. I got it in maroon a few years ago and it has been a huge wardrobe workhorse. I noticed the maroon one had a couple of snags so I went online to see if I could find a replacement in better condition. Lo and behold, not only did I find a new/old maroon one, I discovered it came in navy and black as well and I snapped them all up! So. Here I am in my new blue metallic tee with an old pleated skirt and new jacket from my recent trip to Japan. What do you think?

The trip was for her to celebrate her 60th birthday but it also happened to be his 21st birthday yesterday. My husband was working late last night so in the end 4 of us went out, myself, sister, 21 year old and an old friend of sister’s from high school. I took the chance to dress up in my tulle skirt which was altered a couple of years ago after my weight loss so it would fit me again. We went to an “Aegean” restaurant, very yummy. Sister is mostly pescatarian. Skirt 2010, top 2011, cardigan Monsoon about 2000, boots 2025, earrings gift from best friend, necklace gift from sister for my recent 65th birthday. All the different eras of clothing and jewellery seemed to tie together nicely!

A blue, green and cream Maeve/Anthropologie cardigan sweater that was just the right weight for a beautiful AZ day today. It’s paired with embroidered Adi jeans by Pilcro, also from Anthropologie, cream Ecco booties and crossbody. Normally I would wear the sweater with blue denim, but it has a bit of tan in the pattern so I thought I’d give this combo a try. Thanks for any feedback, YLF friends.

Hubby and I both got dressed up in pink to celebrate. We can't wear spike heels inside the house so I wore my new pewter Mary Janes and was very comfy and felt pretty stylish as well. I don't have the perfect long necklace to go with this dress, but that was okay since we were wearing our Showcase member name tags! We had a great time and even danced to the live band! Thanks for looking! kkards on "WIW INTERESTING VISIBLE LAYERING" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-interesting-visible-layering#post-2410699 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 16:45:36 +0000 kkards 2410699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ One of the 2026 trends I am most excited about is visible layering. As someone who runs cold, this trend gives me a way to wear short sleeves when it would normally be just or cold for me. It warmed up enough this week that I felt like i didn’t need a sweater, so I decided to try the 70s flashback short sleeves  knit over long sleeve knit. This is a decidedly casual outfit, not sure if I’d wear it exactly like this again, but I think it would look great with my denim shorts. <div> </div><div>Thanks for looking.
