3xWIW: SS16 evolving style? - YouLookFab Forum

I haven't posted much lately, but browse through every now and then. The YLF forum and community is fun and inspiring as ever.

It's fun to see how my style never is fixed and how I now incorporate more colour and white accents. I think I've stripped down my outfits more lately and I'm more into bags than before (but I don't have many!). How would you descripe these outfits in terms of style?

# 1-2. I wore this to DS1's school gathering with parents right before summer vacation kicked in. I felt fresh (but cold!).
- Yellow lace top
- White cropped jeans
- Striped jerseyblazer
- Light loafers with metallic details
- Blue/silver bag (bought at Nordstom rack, Chicago a year ago)
- Wool/silk/linen blend scarf (it was just too cold without, but I took it off as soon as I got inside)

#3 A casual day at the office in neutrals. Normally I wouldn't wear distressed jeans, but I felt appropriate by dressing them up with a preppy blazer and doted top. All the students are gone and everyone at the department seems to go into casual land - even wearing tunic and tights.

The preppy blazer is a bit tricky for me and is not into rotation as much as I thought when I bought it, but I think I managed to depreppy it a bit. This outfit looks a bit washed out, but my energy level was below zero and into brights.
- White top with dots
- Cuffed faded, distressed jeans (somehow I like to cuff them instead of hacking. Maybe because it sort of echoes the patches)
- Striped woven blazer
- Light loafers

with metallic details

- White/metallic tote

#4 Raspberry dress. I really loved it and got to wear it a few times, but after washed once it shrinked and I looked like a stuffed sausage, lol. A least my best friend was very happy for it and it fits her really well.
- Raspberry dress
- White sneaks
- Maxi linen cardi
- Blue/silver bag and white/metallic tote

Thanks for looking!

I'm not good at style words, but I especially love the first and third outfits. The colors are wonderful and inspire me to add more.

I see these outfits as crisper than you have worn in the past. Lots of white will do that! All fabulous looks, Harmonica.

Jaime

Not sure how to describe them, but these all look terrific. Love the white splashes!

Zibbets

These are great! I love your fun yellow and dotted tops with your striped jackets. Fantastic!

Summer

All lovely outfits, Harmonica. I love the splashes of colour, especially the yellow in 1.

The yellow top looks fabulous on you, I love this outfit, fresh and neat.
Also love the second outfit, enough contrast in it with the dark stripes and dots so you don't look washed out.

These are great. Love the yellow and the way you are wearing the maxi cardigan is really cute.

Suz

These are all fantastic looks on you! As Angie said, they seem crisp, and also bright. Beautiful -- to me they epitomize Scandinavian summer style at its best.

I am in mourning for the raspberry dress. I LOVE that colour -- so delicious.

Jane

I love these looks, so fresh. I particularly like the white sneakers with the now dear departed raspberry dress. The bag with the blazer in #1 is cute too, and I like the white bag in the last photo.

Thank you for the kind and lovely commenst! Lots of love for the yellow top - I need to wear it more often. I kind of "save it" for better occations, so have to remember Team Wear!

Crisp is a great description! Angie, your always spot on.

Suz -- Scandinavian summer style sounds stunning and I'll keep it with me as an inspiration, especially when I feel meh or out of energy.

I was so sad about the raspberry dress, too, but I'd like to focus on how well it fits my friend and her wardrobe. Makes it easier to let go.
