WIW -- Am I Blue? - YouLookFab Forum

Well, not blue in mood. Blue in color! The first two outfits are casual MOTG / Teaching students at home ensemble. The final one is built around a new skirt I found in a boutique. I still feel like I'm casting about for a style persona, and I'm not fully satisfied, but each outfit has something to make me smile

1. A sheer tunic for a hot day! Very casual.
Tunic: Eddie Bauer outlet (last year)
Bermudas: Lee's from Kohls (not sure that I don't like my denim skimmers better)
Metallic wedges -- Payless, last year

2. Another hot day -- I wore this sleeveless, surplice cotton knit dress without the wrap at home. The "wrap" let me me teach, and go to a casual lunch feeling more polish. This silhouette isn't very "new," my feeling is that I can keep wearing it, but maybe look for new formulas for the future. Thoughts?

Dress: JCP, last year
Wrap Cardi -- Old
Metallic wedges

3/4 I found this skirt at a boutique in Zionsville, Indiana. I love the midi length and the ruching. The cotton sheeting fabric can be dressed up or down, and the ruching stitching adds shape, intrest and "stretchiness." The top of the skirt is a drawstring, which is a bit odd, and not as fitted as I'd like, and I'm not sure I like the pairing I have done here. I'll play with this a lot more in the weeks to come. I can dress up further with pumps, but I was going to dinner with people dressed very casually. I just realized I'm wearing the same wedges again!

All great outfits but my favorite is #2. I think those colors are gorgeous on you. I also really like the blue/white combo with polka dots.

I can almost see these three outfits with a few more pieces making a nice wardrobe capsule.

So beautiful Beth Ann - wear blues so very well. I'm in love with outfit #3 - I would wear that in a heartbeat!

celia

Yes, you are blue and beautiful like the sky in a sunny day.
My favorite outfit is #3 but the other ones are also great.

Kirti

#1 is my favourite - you look awesome Beth Ann!

Vicki

Wow! Beth Ann, these are "your" colors and I love you in turquoise (with black and white). I'm torn between 3 and 2, because you look so fresh and on trend in each one. Yes, this is "happy blue."

All 3 are great, but I would kill for a top like in nr 1.:-)
Nr 3 is also very appealling to me, love the mix of casual skirt with classic blouse, great colour combo here, too-very very effortlessy polished!

Beth Ann

Thanks, everyone, for your input!

Dianthus -- I'm heading on vacation in a week's time, so capsules are definitely on my mind. Of course, I've always just packed until I don't have any more room in the suitcase and called it a day! I'm planning on being a little more strategic this time!

Shannon: Yes, indeed I could see you in the 3rd look, too! Of course, you have Dotty!

#1 and #2 are fabulous - but you in that midi in #3 is KILLER.

Love you in blue

Jaime

You look great in blue! I love the casual look in 1 and 3 is gorgeous!

rae

Your post makes me think, "cerulean blue is a cool breeze" - wacky quote from the X-files, but I actually mean it in the literal sense here. Your blue outfits are so pretty and cooling to the eyes on a hot day. I LOVE that skirt in #3!

Deborah

Beth Ann these are all great looks. And you look amazing in those shorts. My favourite would have to be #3. The midi looks wonderful on you, so flattering and I am a sucker for polka dots. Love it

Amy

Great outfits, all of them, but I love the blouse in #1. So pretty!

Suz

These are all terrific outfits on you, but I especially adore #1, and when I came to #3, I said WOW!!! Like Shannon, I'd wear it in a heartbeat (but I know it looks best on you!) You just glow in that blouse.

Thanks, everyone!

Rae: Loved the X-files, although I don't remember the quote. I remember be strangely unsettled when I saw Duchovny in the movie "Return to Me." So strange to see him smile!

The midi is going to be a workhorse, I think -- summer and fall! Most of the stuff in the boutique was expensive, young and tiny. I almost didn't try the skirt on because they only had a small. Yep. This is the small, and it's a little roomy in the waist. OK -- I'm not fooled or flattered, just glad that it made it's way to in my closet. Now -- if I can just remember that sizes are meaningless when I need to size up.........

Kari

As much as I am a skirt girl and LOVE your skirted outfits, #1 just seems like perfection to me - GREAT colors, metallic footwear, and a beautiful blouse.
