WiW: Days 3-6 Cheating CC - YouLookFab Forum

I called it cheating because
- it is summer so a bit easier
- I wore black shoes!! But no solid dark clothing all week.

1 Wednesday work - I like this blush and terracotta combination. It is a repeat.
2. Wednesday meal out with friends. I wanted to wear heels and these black ones felt right.
3. Today - Saturday. To the tennis interclub, to the library and making scones. Very much a beach or casual dress for a warm day.
4. Thursday work - I tied the belt a different way and don’t like it as much. I wanted to wear my new sandals again but I prefer light ones with the dress. The dress also feels shorter to me.
5. Friday. A frustrating day - here I am amid work renovations. Would not have worn white jeans if I knew that would happen. I actually got too hot in this and took it off as soon as I got home.

The week has been helpful to me as I do rely on black essentials to pull outfits together. I did miss wearing them but did survive a week without them.

Thanks for looking!

You rocked the challenge, Sal. We'll allow the black shoes

#1 is my fave because you in a '70s look is always fab - if not the best!

#2 is a pretty and flattering look.

#3 is jolly for the beach.

#4 is a lovely Summer Casual work look. Carefree, yet pulled together. Wave to Brooklyn who has the same sandals. LOVE the aviators.

#5 is fabulous despite the heat. Keep for a cooler day.

Thanks Angie - yes 5 was fab in spring here - I wore it like this about four times.

I love 70s looks - there are always hints of them around aren’t there!!

Brooklyn

I love 1 the best too Sally. Have you shown the dress in 3 before? I’d love a dress like that for summer casual. Love the curved hem and the shoulder detail. You look fab in all.

Overall my general impression is “colour” - so I think you aced the challenge even with the black shoes. And of course I would never criticise those beautiful sandals. (Wave back to Angie!)

All the looks are great but I agree number 1 is a total knockout! The pattern of the shirt looks evervescent and the pants are such a nice color and cut.

Thanks Brooklyn - I don’t think I have photographed the orange dress before. I added two in November - my friend made them and I wear them at the beach over swimsuits, at home on hot days or for very casual errands like today. The lilac one is below - it is a bit smaller - this one is oversized but I liked the length.

The sandals are now comfy and loving them!!

Thank you Alice - I love it too - it reminds me of the desert, the Mediterranean and sunsets - all things I like!!

Those are great. It’s so hard to find interesting summer casual dresses. I am glad the sandals are working out for you. You aced the challenge!

The first and last are my favorites - vicariously enjoying your summer!

Thanks Brooklyn - it is hard to find things that are not too skimpy nor too pretty and comfortable. These dresses need a crop top or cami or slip under as they are gapey around the arms - I often wear at the beach over a bikini or swimsuit, or with a black crop at home.

Thanks Shevia. I have to say the last one was the wrong choice for a hot Friday in a building zone..... but once it cools down I will enjoy it again. The white jeans are very thick denim, which is why I like them, but not good in the heat.

I find the green dress and styling with the on-trend sandals beautiful, and I particularly like #5 because it looks so darn clean and fresh (despite it being too hot!)

Thanks for participating in the challenge, Sal, and it's not cheating because it's warm where you live.

Sal, these looks are fantastic. All beautiful, nice variety and lovely colours. I cannot really pick a favourite here. You have beautiful dresses and the white jeans outfit is so crisp and pretty. I admire your stylishness in hot weather. It is the most difficult season (hot summer) for me to dress. You nailed the challenge.
