Hi Jo-Lynne! Great outfits featured today – the navy blouse and the Gap denim skirt are what I’m looking for👍
Hope you have a great trip – you any Cyndi are my two go-to fashionista’s😊
Best,
DawnReply

Jo-Lynne,
Your new blog design looks great. I appreciate your content and your effort to continuously update and improve your blog. It’s clear that you have high standards.Reply
Yes, that is a nice way of putting it, haha! I definitely like things a certain way.

First of all – I LOVE going shopping with you! Thank you for explaining why things work or don’t work. And I appreciate also that you mention things we have to look out for when we try the same item – things like oversized shoulders. As for the black and white dress with the gold clip — the gold clip says “look at my mid-section!” You look oo-la-la in so many outfits but this one is good but not great. My eyes went first to the low neckline, and then to the big clip. I’m going to try the pencil skirt and Faherty sport Jersey tee – and oh, that pink one from loft tool. Thank you!

Hi Jo-Lynne, suggest trying the Spanx Air Essentials dress with a denim/chambray shirt tied at the waist. It brings shape to the dress and looks so good with sneakers for a fun casual look! Thanks for all the info!

Yes that would be cute! I wish it had a more open neckline.

Hey Jo-Lynne, I always look forward to your try on hauls as well as What I Wore Lately … it’s fun to see combinations of clothing/shoes. Last week in Florida I scored a pair of P448s at Nordstrom Rack so yay for that! I wanted to provide some feedback. I read your email/blog post 6/7 days from my laptop. I may not be remembering correctly but it seems that when I would click on a link it would open in a new window. Now, it opens in the same window and when I click on the back arrow to get back to your blog post I need to scroll up to find where I was currently reading. I hope this makes sense. Not that big of a deal but I preferred a new window when clicking on the links. I do like the new look of your website. I agree with the other reader, you and Cyndi are my go-to fashion ladies. In fact more times than not when I’m choosing an outfit I think to myself “what would Jo-Lynne or Cyndi put together” … enjoy your time next week!
Reply
Yes, I’ve asked them to fix that. 👍🏻
Reply
Ohhh….I like the opening of the new window feature too. I leave the ones open that I am interested in, close out the rest, and go bag and decide what to buy! 🙂 Love the new font too!
Reply
Yeah it’s a plugin they need to re-install, I think. Should be fixed soon.

I really like the Donna Karan dress on you♥️
Reply
That Donna Karan dress – I’ve looked at it online a few times, but I think that gold piece looks like it would stab me somewhere when I sit down.

I too am really enjoying the new blog style and the larger pictures. Thanks for all the detailed work and I rely a lot on your shopping to help me make my purchases. I’m thinking of getting MID RISE DOWNTOWN KHAKIS. You said you are wearing the 29, however they are sized, 4,6,8. I’m guessing you have the 6 or 8, would you mind checking and letting me know? That helps me decide which size I need.
Reply
Sorry about that, that would be the 8.
Reply
The gold on the dress would drive me nuts too – I’d be trying to figure out if there was a way to “paint” it black, lol! The new layout is great – and I so appreciate confirmation that even in the same brand, sometimes their sizes don’t fit the same. Enjoy your trip!

Love the updated site!!! The title font is interesting and more readable. I like that the comments show without having to click to join the conversation. The site looks great
Yay leopard is back!
I like the cascading ruffle shirt for being feminine but not juvenile or cute. I love the strawberry jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Nancy. That specific feedback is helpful.

Hi Jo-Lynne! You are my favorite fashion blogger and I use your fashion advice a lot! One question about todays post. In your Spring Fashion What’s In What’s Out you listed animal print as out and said look for prints other than leopard. I like the blouse you show in todays try on, and you state in todays post that the leopard and other animal prints are having a comeback. It’s just confusing to me, which is it. Not to be rude but when I’ve been in the stores and see animal print I was thinking to look for something different (and in my closet too).
I like many of the pieces in todays post, especially the pink jacket. Is it pink or more of a coral?Reply
Yep. I know! It is literally something I’m seeing popping up again since I wrote that post. I still think some leopard prints look very dated but it’s hard to explain why. This one looks classy to me.
Reply
I love your new blog style. I loved the old one too. It looks great! I cannot afford Evere, but your blog gives me ideas so, thank you!
Reply
I like and appreciate how you say which pieces you keep or decide to return. Sometimes bloggers show an outfit and don’t say whether (or why) they keep or reject an item.
Thanks! Your differing perspective help.
Reply
That’s good to know, thanks for the feedback!
Reply
Me too!! I especially appreciate when you specify it’s something related to your specific body type that may work for others, and if so what (like the dress that didn’t work because you’re short waisted but might on taller or long-waisted ladies). Very helpful in trying to figure out how it’d work for me.
Reply
Love the Loft short trench. I thought about ordering it before but I don’t think I would get too wear out of it. I’m trying to be a wise shopper. I heard leopard print is back because of the “mob wife” trend. I love my leopard and cheetah but only in fall/winter. I agree with all your dislikes. None of the dresses appealed to me. I’m with you with something up my throat feeling like I’m choking. I like the olive pants but mine from Gap from last year are still good.
Reply
Ahhh that makes sense. The mob wife trend makes me giggle.

I love the flares with the buttons, too bad they are only in 12 and up.
Reply
I didn’t realize they were selling out, that’s a bummer!
Reply
Same!! I added them to my wishlist in hopes they restock.

This is the third time I’ve tried to leave a comment & the page keeps reloading & then my comment disappears before I can post. I don’t know if that can be fixed? I’ll try again to say what I originally typed but sending this before it does it again!
Reply
What device are you using? I haven’t had that issue today, and I’ve commented a few times on my iPhone and computer. Let me know if it keeps happening.
Reply
I’m on my iPhone. I can try again to post & see what happens. The pop up ad on the bottom may be the issue? It keeps expanding & then putting a colored border around my screen…
Reply
Weird. I haven’t had that happen. I sometimes X out of that video ad when I’m commenting.
Reply
I am so grateful I found your blog – it’s a tremendous help as I update my wardrobe and keep my look current. Thank you!
Reply
That’s nice to hear, thank you!
Hi Jo-Lynne! I love seeing the new stuff. Thanks for sharing the items that don’t work for you as well as the ones that do 🙂
Not sure if this is a blog issue or if it is intentional = when I click on a link, it takes me away from your blog site to the retailer’s site. In the past, the link would open in a new window. I prefer the latter if that works for you and your business because sometimes I click on a link but I’m not finished reading your post. Thanks for all your content. After all these years, I feel like we’re friends. LOL!Reply
Yes; we are fixing that! It annoys me too. 🤪
Reply
The black and white dress looks nice. My only question would be how comfortable is it with the clip when you sit down?
Reply
Good point, I didn’t even try it.
Reply
Love this fresh, clean look, Jo-Lynne! And I love the size of the new comment box!
Reply
Thanks, Colleen! Happy to hear that. I wasn’t sure how people would like the look with no sidebar, but it doesn’t seem to be an issue.

Your new website looks really nice! Are we able to Pin your photos? I’ve looked for the little Pinterest button, but haven’t found it. Love those green pants!
Reply
I don’t think that plugin was reinstalled. I can ask them. You can always download the Pinterest Save extension to your preferred browser. I have that so I can pin from any site.
Reply
I’m loving the new website! With your previous one, when I clicked on a link, it opened a new tab … with the new one, when I click a link it doesn’t open a new tab so I ‘lose’ your website. Obviously, I can hit the back button to return to your site but I enjoyed the other feature so I could have several tabs open at the same time while perusing your post.
Reply
Yes, we are going to fix that. Thanks for the feedback!
Reply
Everything looks amazing in the new blog design, and I always love the content! One thing I’ve noticed though – I like when your links open to a new tab, and they don’t anymore. It’s helpful so I can refer back to your words and pictures, as well as open more than one item at a time. Just a suggestion! 🙂 I’m really looking forward to hearing about your & Cyndi’s trip. I miss the seasonal collaborations y’all used to do. Thank you for all you do to help me be more fashionable!

I’ve actually had my eye on that Loft trench for awhile now so I’m glad to hear your review on it.
Reply
Do you find the Kut Amanda jacket to be warmer than the Kara jackets of last year? I’m looking for a little less warm than my treasure and bond bomber that I picked up because of your suggestion! I love it!
Reply
It’s about the same – the same fabric I think.

I didn’t realize Evereve had a sale this soon after launching their Spring items. I just ordered the Knit pink shacket and now it’s $13 cheaper. It’s suppose to be here Monday. It looks so soft and comfy. I love your new blog design. You put so much thought and detail in all you do and it makes it so nice for your readers. You and Cyndi both are my go to and I told her this AM I wish on your trip together you’d talk about doing a Summer or Fall series together like you use to. Those were fun. Have a great trip. Looking forward to hearing all about it.

I hear they are really good about price adjustments. You may want to email them and see.

I always enjoy your try- on posts, and I really appreciate you sharing things with us that don’t work for you. I know that you are looking forward to being in Nashville for a few days next week & spending time with Cyndi.

There is something about the look of the white trouser jeans with the blue Loft top that I think looks so good – I really love that outfit pairing! I give credit to anyone who can pull off those mid length denim skirts – on me they give major old-school frumpy teacher vibes!
Reply
Yeah, those denim skirts seem to be a love it or hate it kinda thing! 🙂
Reply
I’m only commenting on the black and white dress with the gold buckle/clip because you asked. It doesn’t look like it’s your style and that’s a whole lotta fabric in the front. I think you can do better.
Reply
Yeah, it’s going back.
Reply
I’m glad the flare ankle jeans are still in style. I have them in white and a med blue and wear them all the time in the summer. (Until I can’t take the heat anymore and switch to shorts!
Reply
While I normally love a bold print, the black and white dress looks matronly to me, not a fan.
Reply
I have the Gap Factory skirt and I LOVE it!! I like shopping there for both classics and trendier items like this. I also love those color block Wit & Wisdom jeans but they’re sold out 😩
Reply
Ugh, bummer. Sorry about that! I usually check.
Reply
Great post! You’re right on point with your favorites in my book!
Great new website! 😎 CongratsReply
Thank you!

Love the try-on hauls! I like the new website, but could you bring back the Pin button, please? 🙂
Reply
I will ask them!

Hi Jo-Lynne,
Thanks for your detailed post- I really appreciate the time you take explaining your thoughts on each item! I’m not sure if you shared already, but can you tell me what you think of the Sam Edelman raffia slides with the buckle. I love the look of them, but am not sure about the big buckle. Thanks!Reply
I love them! They’re very comfy.
Reply
Hi Jo-Lynne!
Let me just say, you are blessed with the ability to make clothes look so much better than they do on the models! Thank you for highlighting pieces I would have just scrolled on by on the websites!
💕🤗Reply
What say you on the dress? No. The clip is a deal breaker. It bunches the fabric, as it is supposed to do, but then it is heavy enough to sag the whole waist awkwardly. And it is big enough to poke me beneath my, well, you know, when I sit down. Beautiful dress but needs work. It is made for trouble and not the kind of trouble that is any fun.
BTW, your new website looks nice but it crashes so often on my iPad that it takes a big dose of persistence to see the great stuff you have.

I don’t understand. I left tons of comments yesterday using my phone and I never had an issue

Thank you Jo Lynne for your fashion expertise. I’ve gotten so many fashion ideas from you! I appreciate your style😊
