WIW...summer in the city - YouLookFab Forum

It's been hot here this week. Here's what I've been wearing - uber casual and probably not worth posting some - but real life edition

1) 07.13.14 Old Navy blue tank, BR white shorts, camper sandals, Anoki Paris crossbody (boy I wear this a lot in the summer!). Quick errands and to watch the world cup final

2) & 3) 07.14.14 Old Navy white tank, VC tube skirt (i got this last year, but again it's not the same version many seem to have. I realize the length probably isn't optimal, but it's an alternative to shorts). In #3 I first tried it with my white cross body, and bright pink sneakers, to try for that sporty luxe look. Then I figured it was too darn hot so switched to my black Mephistos and switched the bag to a citron H&M version. Liked the pop of colour but something about the proportions of this doesn't feel cool. Probably need that longer midi skirt... It was ok. I felt a bit dowdy-ish.

4) 07.15.14 Zara tshirt, Joe Fresh black skirt, SE Cruz sneakers. Felt fab in this all day! Perfect for running errands. For some reason I've only ever paired this skirt with fitted tanks and since I don't like wearing fitted tanks, I rarely wear the skirt. I think this might be JFE and felt great. Maybe it was the sneakers. Easy breezy.

5) 07.16.14 another HOT day. Nothing fancy here, just old white Loft tank and green Gap BF shorts. #6 is just a photo outside in the garden after dropping the kids off at the local pool. #7 is what I changed into to visit the in-laws. Nothing fancy, grey CostaBlanca tshirt, Hudson shorts & camper sandals.

Definitely not a fancy week but I'm trying to throw my skirts into rotation since it's fun to pair them with sneakers. What do you think? Thanks for your comments

Thank you for posting your fab real life hot weather looks. Many of us struggle with dressing in the heat. I especially like your skirt outfits. You look fab!

I am in love with #1! And I tink I need to copy ... Your real life is a notch above mine. You look very comfy and chic. Love your shoes and crossbody bags the most. I think I need crossbody bags O_O.

Also the proportion in 2/3 are perfect and I like both versions of the outfit.

I especially like the skirt outfits too! I think the version with the sandals works better than the one with the pink sneakers. I think that maybe the leg-lengthening effect of the sandals is what does it.

You look great in all these outfits. They're simple, but you look very well put together. You look great in sleeveless tops!

My goodness, Jackie you know you're gorgeous, right? Right? Good, now we have that established.

#1: you mentioned you wear this a lot - what a FAB way to run errands! Happy and vibrant yet super breezy and comfy!

#2: the magical VC skirt in action! Why don't you think the length is optimal? And actually - I wear my Tart tube skirt as a shorts alternative too. Those tube skirts are just so amazing! I like the Mephistos with this outfit

#4: I've been eyeing those Zara t-shirts for quite sometime now. They're so cute but the ones I like are never available in my size! Love the skirt on you - it's such a different silhouette compared to your usual! So glad you feel great in these!

#5: classic and comfy. Nothing fancy, you say but it still works!

#7: love this silhouette on you. You wear slouchy tops well! Love how you balance it with structured bottoms!

OMgoodness you look fab! You wear both shorts and skirts equally well....your outfits are cool, sporty, and chic. I especially love the tube skirt with the looser top and I think the length works just fine on you.

EDT now I want a tube skirt too.

Jackie, as usual you knocked it out of the park with your California-casual (Vancouver-casual?) amazing style and natural beauty ... Jennifer Aniston has nothing on you! Love them all.

Oh, I always love everything you wear, Jackie! My favorites here are 4 and 7. 4 is just a very modern looking outfit, and more than JFE to my eye. I love that tee with the skirt, and of course our sneaks!!! And 7 is incredibly sophisticated casual wear. Those shorts are superb on you.

Meredith

The color of that ON top is gorgeous on you and 4 is awesome!

Gracie

So, were your cheering for Argentina? All these casual outfits are fab, I'd wear any of them any time. I prefer the skirt with the sandals. I'll be hopefully trying the VC striped skirt this weekend. If I love it, I will wear it with the hem covering the full knee cap and some sort of heel. My favorite is 4 – a column of black with the bright splash of the graphic – glad you discovered you can wear something other than fitted tanks with this skirt. I'm wearing my circle skirt today with a fitted faux-wrap top and your photo gives me more ideas on how to wear it. Your garden is lovely!

Tanya

Wow, you look stunning! You do casual so well, and I love that Zara tee. Tough to pick a favorite, but if I had to, I would go for 1,2 and 4.

These are completely fab - #1 and #4 are my favorites. Thanks for sharing casual outfits!

Great summer outfits - I especially like #2 and #7. I really like the way the shorts in #7 are balanced by the top - taking notes for my ivory short sleeved tunic sweatshirt for this fall.

Suz

Wow, these are all terrific casual outfits, but 4 and 7 knock it out of the field (er..so to speak). Thank you for posting real life looks. This is basically my summer wear, too (except you look a lot better in yours).

So fab! 2,4 and 7 are my faves and I love seeing the Cruz sneakers in action. Thanks for the recommendation. Are those the silver? Are they fabric? I'm very tempted by those!
