WIW: Navy and White - YouLookFab Forum

The first outfit was for a potluck dinner. The top is Chaps (Kohls), the jeans are Style and Co. (Macy’s), the sandals are Bernardo (Nordstrom), the bag is vintage Coach (thrifted). I untaped the toe I broke last year. You can see how it wasn’t set properly.

The second outfit I wore to church. I completely tucked in the top, and then pulled it out to blouse a little, because it was too long untucked. The top is JM Collection (Macy’s), the crops are Chaps (Kohls), the denim jacket is Style and Co. (Macy’s), the same Bernardo sandals, and the Sak guitar strap bag I’ve been using almost continuously since I bought it. I bought the top to go with my olive leather jacket. It was too warm to wear the jacket today.

What do you think of these outfits? How could I make them better? Honesty is appreciated.

Love navy and white. Great job
Cute sandals ( too delicate for me as I am hard on footwear.)
Great styling with jacket- love mine.
Well done

Love the first outfit. I wouldn’t change a thing.

For the second outfit, i feel the crops could be a bit shorter? Or maybe it’s the photo angle.

Your poor toe!

Lesley

These are good looks! I would love to see them with a fancier style shoe...maybe some red slides or flats to go with the purse?

Cardiff girl

Poor toe!Both really nice outfits ,I especially like the second one.I f you wanted to ring the changes I would suggest trying different footwear.

Lesley and Cardiff Girl have a very valid point. I think dressier shoes would definitely enhance the style quotient of both ensembles.

Having said that, I would wear the flip flops. Flip flops are one of the most comfortable shoes for me to wear. I once tried to make them part of my work capsule. I trade off some amount of style for comfort. AND they are attractive flip flops (certainly not sporty or athletic).

Helena

Fabulous!

I really like the polka dot top with the red bag and white shoes. They’re nice flip flops. Sometimes the weather and setting demand flip flops.
With the second outfit I think it’s totally fine but I believe Angie would encourage a higher hemline for the pants. We shall see!

Mirjana

Lovely outfits JAileen, I especially like #1, beautiful top. I agree with Lesley and Cardiff girl, I would also wear dressier footwear just to make the outfits better.

The first outfit is great. Graphic and I love the little pop of red.

Second outfit is very nice too. I think you could wear a bigger necklace, if you wanted.

Flip flops look like the go with every thing!

I’m sorry to hear that your toe wasn’t set properly! Hopefully it doesn’t affect your mobility.

Carla

These outfits tickle my fancy - I do love navy and white! Both looks work and don't need anything extra, however if you feel like you would like to dial up the styling - consider alternate footwear or a pop of colour at the neck - maybe a neckerchief or scarf.

Bonnie

I really like the outfits. The only suggestion I have is to shorten the white pants. The flip flops are cute.

Love both of these looks. Crisp and fresh. I’m loving those white jeans and I agree that a cuff would look good with the flip flops, although I like them long as well. And great pop of red. Foot and toe injuries are so hard to heal!

FABULOUS. You are super cute, Janet.

I love when you wear clothes that fit this way.

Freckles

What lovely outfits, both of them. I love how everything flows together.

JAileen

Efbgen, thank you. The sandals are surprisingly sturdy.

Aquamarine, thank you. I hope it is the angle I took the pictures.

Jessikams, thank you. My toe is completely healed, but because it sits high, it is subjected to rubbing my other toes aren’t. My suggestion to everyone is to be more careful than I was.

Lesley, thank you. Wearing dressier shoes is a good idea.

Cardiff girl, thank you. I will try different footwear next time.

Sterling, I think I used the sandals as the start of both outfits. I hadn’t worn them before, and since it suddenly turned warm, it seemed like a good opportunity.

Torontogirl, thank you!

Jussie, thank you. Maybe the photo angle made the navy pants look longer than they really are?

Mirjana, thank you. I will wear dressier shoes next time.

Smittie, thank you. My mobility is fine, just some shoes won’t work anymore. Be more careful than I was!

Carla, thank you. These outfits seem similar to some of your outfits, don’t they? I always Like your outfits. Accessories are a good idea.

Bonnie, thank you. I could have rolled the hems. Good idea.

Karen, thank you. Yes to rolled hems.

Angie, I’m so glad you saw these, and approve. Thank you.

Freckles, thank you.

Suz

That first outfit especially is great! And you know I love navy and white. I would add a pop of red, but that's just me. Silver or olive would also be fun.

Suz, thank you. Good ideas.

I really love the first outfit. Navy blue and white both are my favorite color. And the combination of navy blue and white always look perfect .

Sara L.

I love the first outfit with the polka dot top. Super fun.

Aida

You look super in navy and white! I like both outfits, particularly the second. My gut reaction was a dressier shoe with the first, or perhaps rolling the pants to add an additional casual element to the look to go with the sandals.

These navy and white outfits look fresh and crisp on you. I am sorry about the toe.

Joy, thank you. My toe is healed, just isn’t sitting right.

Aida, thank you. Those are both good ideas. I don’t know why I didn’t think of rolling the hem.

Sara, thank you.

Cobbler, thank you.
