Grace in style is effortless elegance coupled with a caring attitude, such a wonderful combination.</p> <p>I really like the colour cinnamon for you too and I think you will wear it well. I saw this picture and was drawn to the style and warm colour combination. I think you could substitute the red top for a vibrant pink to get your two colours in the mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-goals#post-2090026 Mon, 06 Jan 2020 04:46:01 +0000 rachylou 2090026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well now, you’re gonna make me go all philosophical. There are great depths to be explored with both Grace and Cinnamon. The history and story of cinnamon is Rife, so many points of inspiration there.</p> <p>As for grace: two definitions come to mind... the first is part of being a True Lady, which is to Ensure the Comfort of Others (which is why you drink the fingerbowl water) and the second is Somerset Maugham, ‘when love and duty are one, then grace is in you.’</p> <p>Ok. Back to regular programming </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-goals#post-2090005 Mon, 06 Jan 2020 02:38:37 +0000 Jaime 2090005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Grace and Cinnamon both as theme words. I think they will carry you through a lot of decisions. I think of grace to rise above peer pressure and impulse buying, and warm and fragrant cinnamon that is always in style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-goals#post-2089998 Mon, 06 Jan 2020 02:07:07 +0000 Gretchen 2089998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One week in... the credit cards are stowed, the emails are unsubscribed, and the priorities are (sort of?) set.&nbsp;</p> <p>My style words stay the same this year:&nbsp;classic, color, simple, sparkle, and polish.&nbsp;</p> <p>My word for the year: GRACE. This came to me solidly last month as both a need to rise above some challenges, and as a quality I value in other women. That ability to take things in stride, and ensure that I'm bringing something focused and positive to every interaction is a long-term goal, so now's a good time to start.</p> <p>My color for the year is CINNAMON. I went back and forth between a vibrant pink and a cinnamon brown. But while on Christmas vacation, I was struck speechless by a view of the wood of a Sequoia tree, so Cinnamon it is. This will take careful shopping as it's a tough color for me to wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do not have a specific shopping or budget target for the year, as my closet is in good order, but do plan to continue tracking my purchases (not wears) both in my spreadsheet and a collection. I intend to add a section in my spreadsheet to note essentials, wildcards, and workhorses. As usual, I don't have a goal here, just looking for information.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do want to do a better job of utilizing my closet, and not just going to tried-and-true. So my goal is to create a series of capsules, and do a better job of shopping my closet. I'd then like to track capsule outfits somehow to make sure I'm wearing them... this may be a mid-year goal.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm also going to start tracking in my calendar the days that I have clothes crises. The most frustrating days for me are those where I go through multiple outfit ideas before landing on something (or running out of time and going to a FFBO). I'm an emotional dresser, so don't do a great job planning outfits ahead of time. But maybe I can find a connection and minimize these days.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p>Looking forward to another year of inspiration and camaraderie!</p>
