WIW a few from this week - YouLookFab Forum

I was delivering a training course this week (next week too) so long days in the class and prepping. I took a few pics but seem to have missed a day.

I bought these slim knit pants at Costco last weekend. They are charcoal grey and very soft and comfortable. I added a gap tank and the joie silk shirt. This was the day before training started.

Second, I put the peplum polka dot shirt with the slim black pants. I tried a few jackets and then went with a cropped sweater. I realize now looking at the pics that the belt sits too high. It didn't before but could be weight gain. I think the outfit might have been a success without a belt or with a lower belt. I took a pic from the back to show the cropped sweater. I rarely take rear view pics - not my best side. Hit or miss?

Today I wore the purple halogen skirt, ink blue tahari shirt and J Jill cropped sweater. I wore nude micro fishnet tights. I think it was okay but not fab.

Love that silk shirt in 1 what a great colour on you. Nothing wrong with your rear view but I think you may be right about the belt. However #3 is definitely my favourite look of the 3.

I really like each of these outfits on you. They all look like winners. Well done.

Dianthus, your shorter hair is just so gorgeous. I hope you are enjoying it because it really suits you;).

#1 is wow. That color is so vibrant and so flattering on you.

#2 works. I have seen peplums worn mostly over skinny leg pants and jeans but this is a slightly more grown up look. I have been keeping an eye out for a peplum top to no avail so I'm a bit envious. This one is lovely.

#3 are great colors and think this would be stellar without the cardigan.

Lovely outfits.

liked them all, but LOVED number 4. the colors worked so well together. l love color, but i'm one of those people who seem to fall back on black, because i'm afraid of mixing colors. you did it so well!

All lovely looks!

Have you got animal print shoes? I can see them work well with #2 and #4.

Thank you all for the feedback and reassurance.

Deborah, I am really glad I decided to go short with the hair. It is almost time for a trim though. I knew it would be needed every 5 weeks or so. I may have it darkened a bit with some highlights.

Angie, I am having a tough time finding any fall shoes or boots. I had animal print ballet flats but they were worn into the ground. I tried a few pairs of booties yesterday but the height needs to be just right or they rub on the front of my leg uncomfortably. I tried Sam Edelmans, Steve Madden's and a few others.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Did the SE's rub in front too?

Have you tried Aerosoles?

I tried this pair

They didn't rub but the ball of my left foot felt a bit too much pressure. I wore the born booties on Monday and my left foot was a bit tender for a few days. I might need to stick to 2" heel.
