My favorite inspiration outfits this week from online browsing/shopping and from some of my favorite fashion bloggers. I couldn't (or wouldn't) necessarily wear any of these, but I like the way they've been styled or some particular component of the outfit. I might put an accessory on my shopping list. Maybe the outfit inspires me to put together something similar from my wardrobe or to try different color combinations. Sometimes, I just love the whole look. Thought I'd share and hope you enjoy...

As always, thank you so much for your comments on these threads. I read them all and especially enjoy reading why you like an outfit or why you don't and how you might tweak an outfit, or what individual pieces you like.

11 and 18 are my favorites. I love the style and colors of both. Both look very wearable, too.

Re: Fashion Favorites 4/6/25...

Another set of stunning selections @MacDuFF 

 

I love #1, but wish it were in a deep, chocolate brown. 

 

#9 is classic and elegant. 

 

Love the green blouse in #14.

 

#15b Marigold is a difficult color to wear but Carla looks amazing. 

 

#16 the black sweater and jeans are great. Do not like the oversize bag or sandals.

 

My favorite is #18, a beautiful evening gown and gorgeous color.

Re: Fashion Favorites 4/6/25...

Happy Sunday @MacDuFF and all!

I'm going to go backwards.

 

I think 18 is really pretty even though I don't usually like that style of neckline.

 

To me the Carla Rockmore dresses are very unflattering. The shape of the dress doesn't seem to do anything to flatter any figure. It makes the shoulders droop and everything sag.

 

I like the top in 14 though not so fond of the drab olive green color.

 

I like the jacket in 13 and I would like it better in a pretty shade, almost any shade. I like the wide stripes in the material but in the white it reminds me of my favorite pillow case with the wide stripes. 

 

The shape of the Johnny Was top in 11 is nice. I like that comfortable style but I don't like the print that much. Is it trying to look like it's inspired from India or the 60's? I don't know.  

 

The top in 6 is my favorite! The color and everything about it.

 

The Ralph Lauren when I look close it looks like it has some kind of tiny stars or something. I like that part of it but I think the color is kind of dull, and I don't like how low it goes.

 

I feel so critical tonight lol! But you always say tell you what we don't like.

I just don't like all these baggy too long pants. Why?

 

I like the striped blue shirt in 3 but I think it would look better in a smaller size on her.

 

I like the skirt and jacket in #2 but not that top which looks like a casual childs style t-shirt.

The color of the pink and sable kind of brown is very pretty.

 

Well, this was fun but I'm dizzy going back and forth!Woman LOL

 

I hope everyone has a good week tooSmiley Happy And thanks as always for the fun fashion showSmiley Happy

p.s.-

You know what I think makes this so fun?

It's like going shopping but we're not spending money and we don't have to try anything on, nor have to return anything that doesn't fit right or look good.

We can just imagine that we are wearing it all, the ones that we like!

 

And I love just as much, seeing what everyone else likes or doesn't like too.

#14 - also my favorite.  I have a similar blouse in a different color.  I love this easy kind of blouse.

Re: Fashion Favorites 4/6/25...

Absolutely love the Johnny Was top!!  It flatters my body type, tallish and no waist.

 

Love the Boden shoes too.  I wear a lot of solid color clothing and love colorful patterned shoes.

 

I also love those colorful and striped dresses you liked but I can't wear the fitted waists.

My absolute fav and the most me, (though I own nothing like it, lol) is #7.

Yes, I tend not to like cropped style pants, ever, especially wide ones, but these get a pass for me...as the overall look is adorable here. I love the top, the pants, the two together, the little sandals...boho, feminine, sweet, comfortable, breezy.

Love it.

 

#5 is the perfect RL at his best. Love it all. The pants, you do see the pocket linings, so yes, they might be sheer. But the look is beautifully classic. 

 

#6 Also like this casual blouse, jeans.

 

#'s 8, 14 honorable mention. Great easy spring monochromatic neutrals as you said, in 8, 

I like the blouse in 14. QVC had a Jenny Garth one I haven't wanted to splurge on, as it's not a "need", but similar style.

 

#16, That's just the way I like a wide leg denim to look...long, lean, skimming the bottom of my shoes not hitting the floor, though. As long as you can go.

 

Thanks for sharing @MacDuFF Have a good week, all!
