One thing I find really interesting about this is that so many
of you (fabbers, not necessarily the ones commenting on this thread) complained about summer dressing, and found it difficult, and couldn’t wait to get back to fall/winter when you could more easily play with layering, and toppers. Yet here we are, with limited silhouettes… bored… Funny bunch aren’t we?
Now Suz… go ahead and add that pajama pants and a fleece top silhouette… I KNOW YOU WANT TO! Admit you’re human under all that fabness
I think this is a great idea, and was actually thinking of doing something similar. Finding the time to actually THINK about it is my problem. I decide I need to expand upon a certain silhouette and go about expanding, without taking the time to see if I really do! Both from a “need” and “does it work” perspective. I find that I default, especially when I’m tired, to the same pair of black pants and a comfy sweater. Gee, guess what I’m wearing today….
I do have a number of silhouettes for work:
Sheath dress with shirt/tee and boots/booties (not worn often)
Pencil skirt with sweater and boots/booties (also not worn often)
Skinnies or slim pants with tunic/long cardigan or oversized topper. Boots or pumps
Skinnies or slim pants with a sweater, boots or pumps
Straight leg trousers with sweater/cardigan (sometimes with layered shirt, sometimes with tee)
Straight leg trousers with semi-tucked blouse.
Wildcards: culottes. Wrap dress?
And I’m pretty sure this isn’t it… no time right now to go through pics to evaluate further, but I will!
Yeesh, no wonder I have a hard time deciding what to wear.
I also tend to dress based on the weather and temperature. I’m terrible at deciding the night before… it seems whenever I try, my mood or the weather has changed. Or both. But a challenge like this might stop me defaulting to my BFFBO too often.
Viva posted while I was typing this out… I like her approach, and I think something similar will work for me.
Thanks Una! Once again, great thread.
