It’s more accurate than Eclectic. </p> <p>Just for fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1880150 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 15:38:46 +0000 cindysmith 1880150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm quite guilty of #7 since we moved here to the middle of nowhere :-/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879889 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 19:11:27 +0000 Jazzy Dance 1879889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Being patient is an excellent goal. I really empathized with you on that one. I'm in it with you on that.</p> <p>Also, like you, I am feeling done with wearing activewear/athleisure. I wear it all the time (job) and am sick of it. It will be fun to start wearing more real clothes. That will definitely increase the 'pretty' bit of the equation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879848 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 16:26:48 +0000 Anonymous 1879848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Toban, yes, I'm working on a work-trip grouping right now in fact. And actually prepping my packing list ahead of time by trying on outfits, photographing them and putting them on a rolling rack I keep in my bedroom. One outfit down, 4 more to go &nbsp;I travel to these conferences twice a year so I need one summer capsule and one winter. &nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa -this is precisely the challenge. &nbsp;</p> <p>Bijou - thanks for the kind words, and I only wish I could dress like Brooklyn. I swear if I had her body type , I would. &nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879748 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 13:23:02 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1879748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh, but what are the around the house clothes that are not athleisure, and not jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879744 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 13:18:04 +0000 Toban 1879744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very thoughtful style goals. Given the need for work pants for travel mentioned in another post, perhaps consider adding a goal to have a small travel capsule for future work trips? Or it this a rare event? It in part goes with goal #7 to calm down and not panic. Knowing you are prepared would help with that.&nbsp;</p> <p>I sympathize with your very cold winter and the tendency to live in casual warm clothes that often have limited style. But since that doesn't make you happy, perhaps identifying a warm, stylish silhouette that can be your go-to in this deep winter period? A non-aging gym teacher uniform? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879623 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 01:13:53 +0000 Deborah 1879623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enjoyed reading these Lisa and as I am at work will read in more detail later, but just had to chime in and say I am with you with Trinny and her current style.&nbsp; I love it.&nbsp; I have been watching some of her styling and make up clips and am quite inspired </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879620 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 01:02:14 +0000 Anonymous 1879620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I do . And hope so too . Maybe it’s a backlash from living in sweatshirts and yoga pants or sweats all winter too - but also , the older I get , the less I want to look like an aging gym teacher . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879603 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 00:04:53 +0000 Jenn 1879603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pretty thing must just be in the air right now. All these lovely florals coming out...and maybe it's a bit of a backlash from the athleisure. I do think you have a sporty element to your style, though, especially in the summer. Do you see that being supplanted?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879526 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 21:19:23 +0000 Lynn 1879526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Your goals seem very clear and concise. I love the idea of Edgy Pretty.&nbsp;</p> <p>Funny about the athleisure- I feel exactly the same. I just moved all these items to my hiking/workout gear. I could not identify why I wasn't feeling them any more until you said underdressed. That's it!</p> <p>I look forward to seeing how your style evolves this year. I always enjoy your posts.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879447 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 17:43:09 +0000 Anonymous 1879447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great style goals post. &nbsp;I just can't think that far ahead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879440 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 17:15:25 +0000 Anonymous 1879440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b> - the bra. Ugh- I look at her and think: just because you can, doesn't mean you should. &nbsp;Why?? &nbsp;Anyways, yes, our styles have always run parallel , I think. and sometimes we have more in common than other times. &nbsp;But I agree - why do you think I've hung around for so long ? &nbsp;;) &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Viva</b> - I know what you mean about jeans being a good piece to add an edge to pretty, but they can be a lazy fall-back too, and I was starting to let my professionalism slide a bit .....and I don't want that to continue. &nbsp;I had no luck with burgundy/wine this year. I have to admit that I just don't care for it as much as I do others colours. It really suits other women, but not me. &nbsp;My goal colours came to me from reading a decorating article, and it made sense for my closet too.</p> <p><b>karen13 </b>- hair colour changing palette? I haven't noticed that, no. Except I find black a whole lot easier now &nbsp;- so there is that... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879429 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 17:00:03 +0000 Suz 1879429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are terrific goals, Lisa, and they will stand you in good stead!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879420 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 16:43:35 +0000 Ginger 1879420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these goals! There's a lot of reflection, but you've translated that into actual goals and actions to take. And #7 is really good. *cheers* Go you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879402 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 15:49:37 +0000 viva 1879402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha - the bra! Yes, Angie: Lisa and I were just talking about that! Trinny, PLEASE. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not sure what my style goals are yet, which is sad. But I need to read the blog post and get inspired, because my closet is not doing it. I need some focus.</p> <p>Lisa, I feel like you've been heading toward Edgy Pretty for a while now, so setting your stake in the ground there makes a lot of sense. I'm conflicted about the denim because I think denim can easily offer the edgy to the pretty, and also it's so hard to find other pants, but I am hoping you will discover finds to share. And, I love your colors! I've been doing so much wine/burgundy (including a relatively new top now that I just want to take off because I am so bored by it!) .... I have always loved pink and orange and may need to steal those colors as they work well with my consistent neutrals of gray and navy.</p> <p>I'll be watching the small bag thing too.</p> <p>Ultimately, I love the entire plan. Can I just adopt it for myself? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879370 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 14:54:58 +0000 Angie 1879370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*APPLAUSE*</p> <p>You are<i> good </i>at this, <b>Lisa.</b> Concise, manageable, and with a good amount of emotion. You reached deep, and found what you were looking for. Very organized thoughts -<i>&nbsp;I can feel your calm already.</i>&nbsp;Excellent starting point.&nbsp;</p> <p><i>Style Moniker: </i>Pretty with Edge, or Edgy Pretty ...(just for fun).</p> <p>I chuckled a little at how our goals/styles have collided this year: less jeans wearing, "the pretty", refinement, colour, less Tomboy, structure, and light neutrals. HAH.&nbsp;</p> <p>Trinny is very entertaining, and I love that dark blue is her black. I like looking at what she wears, and she's extremely comfortable in front of the camera. Personally, I'm big on wearing a pretty and supportive bra though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879284 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 07:52:09 +0000 Style Fan 1879284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Trinny style too.&nbsp; I haven't watched her channel lately so I was not aware of the makeup.&nbsp; I can see lots of similarities between her style and yours (edgy shoes, cropped pants, great blazers).&nbsp; Dark florals sound like a great addition. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879276 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 06:46:31 +0000 Bijou 1879276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa your new style direction sounds as if it will be similar to how Brooklyn dresses, which of course is super fab! I love goal #7 which totally resonates with me to just calm down and really think about purchases. I also love how you update your make-up and are planning this, I tend to fall victim to a sales assistant with varying degrees of success. </p> <p>As someone who greatly admires your current style, please don't be too hard on yourself.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879272 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 06:29:23 +0000 karen13 1879272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does your new hair color drive any palette changes? I love the idea of dark florals for your pretty with an edge - and they can pick up your existing dark neutrals with touches of your new pale ones.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879179 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 00:34:06 +0000 Anonymous 1879179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In Cdn $ it's a little higher , and then there is shipping , duties, etc etc. I think I'll pass for now - not seeing it in person is too risky at that price. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879165 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 23:57:38 +0000 Sal 1879165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I spent about $150NZ total for the three products.....not cheap but similar to mid ranges here (probably less than Estee Lauder but more than Revlon as a benchmark).</p> <p>I think there are new colours coming out in February so it will be interesting to see how it develops.&nbsp; I think the social media team is doing a great job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2018-goals--also-in-blog-comments#post-1879161 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 23:53:43 +0000 Anonymous 1879161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did it the other day, and actually it gave me those same colours I think.
