It’s not a very flattering color on me, so I stick to it as an accent, but it’s really good with all the blue I wear. My bike is orange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-wild-cards-and-completers#post-1988239 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 15:45:20 +0000 bj1111 1988239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Angie, hah! It only took 10 years for all your lessons and advice to sink in! Who knew I liked orange? I think I have a clutch that might go with that complementary capsule. The shoes are in transit so capsule decision is pending. The white booties are Minkoff koso from the rack. At $33, it seemed rude not to buy!</p> <p>@Janet, it feels so freeing to give myself permission to buy something that is “not me.” I’m really looking forward to how you incorporate similar ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-wild-cards-and-completers#post-1988238 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 15:41:02 +0000 bj1111 1988238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Bijou, Ithanks! Freshness is what I was aiming for as I enter the crown years (tm @Column)</p> <p>@Annagybe, I worked at that knot. I may need to refer to this photo in the future. I’m already thinking of pieces for the shipwrecked cowboy sailor.</p> <p>@Joy, you have a great eye for compositions. I didn’t spot the natural tie in with the silver booties and the metallic mariniere. Next to try when the pieces arrive.</p> <p>@StyleFan, I’ll be back here doing a k/r as I can’t keep all those booties!</p> <p>@Kathie, I’m so glad I got over my fear and got the wild cards.</p> <p>@lisap, thanks, that is high praise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-wild-cards-and-completers#post-1988236 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 15:34:10 +0000 bj1111 1988236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@French Fry, fly chica is what I aspire to!</p> <p>@Taylor, interesting that you used similar strategies. How did it work out for you?</p> <p>@smittie, I didn’t know I was so attracted to orange. Working in a conservative industry, I’m curious to see what reaction this look will get.</p> <p>@jessikams, wild cards can be such a fun way to stretch. I’m eyeing a couple of your pieces too!</p> <p>@Suz, those are the rag and bone. I’m still waiting for the Frye’s and the via spiga. Will keep only 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-wild-cards-and-completers#post-1988232 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 15:30:22 +0000 Janet 1988232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A smart strategy, and wow, are your wild cards fun! That belt is just awesome. Boots are all amazing too. </p> <p>I’m having some urges to streamline my closet with some similar ideas in mind — seems you and I are thinking along some parallel lines. Good basic essentials in solid neutrals/colors, punched up with signature-for-us items. You’ve got me thinking — thank you for posting this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-wild-cards-and-completers#post-1988207 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 15:01:15 +0000 Angie 1988207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good job recognizing that you needed completers, <b>bj1111</b>. We want to wear complete outfits don't we :)</p> <p>(Are we white shootie twins?)</p> <p>I think you mean Essentials in your first sentence (not basics).&nbsp;</p> <p>I can see you wear all these items with panache. Do the white sneaks with orange trim look good with the orange belt? Could be a fab complement.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-wild-cards-and-completers#post-1988194 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:29:51 +0000 Anonymous 1988194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - do you ever have some great pieces here! &nbsp;I love your Hermes belt too &nbsp;And the orange belt is great - this is a look straight out of Accidental Icon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-wild-cards-and-completers#post-1988189 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 14:27:04 +0000 Kathie 1988189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your wild cards- especially the shimmery striped top and the orange belt.

Bet you'll be the flyest Chica in the room with these clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2019-wild-cards-and-completers#post-1988060 Thu, 03 Jan 2019 04:03:47 +0000 bj1111 1988060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This year, I reoriented how I shopped focusing on basics for clothing (uniqlo and gap mostly) rather than my usual statement pieces like a fancy shirt or dressy jacket that I would rarely wear because I didn’t have the requisite completed piece like the right belt or the the right weight tee or shell.</p> <p>I focused on completer pieces including several belts and basic tops/good tees.</p> <p>I also focused on wild cards. Things that had an immediate “not me” reaction, I changed to “maybe me”. So western, booties, white/silver shoes, leopard print belt. Including this crazy orange belt. In the off white style.</p> <p>Will report back if any of the shoes work out. </p>
