Looks serene and therapeutic. </p> <p>You show a lot of grace and courage naturally and innately, sweet Sal! Great word and colour </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2024---my-word-colour-and-wardrobe-plans#post-2349414 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 19:53:44 +0000 Sal 2349414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Dee, Suntiger and Rachylou.</p> <p>Star - my hair was great in November but I haven’t been as happy since my December cut. I think the layers are a bit short. My hair is quite temperamental as well -oily and wavy -but not curly. </p> <p>Cardiff Girl and Sisi- wouldn’t it be fun if you could come and visit! We had a dreadful start to 2023 in NZ with flooding and lots of damage. Ruined vacations whilst not as bad meant some grumpy people around so a proper summer helps us prepare for a hard year - we like many places are in a cost of living crisis.</p> <p>Thanks Roberta - that’s exactly the sense I want Grace to convey. I have been listening to some podcasts that are leading me in this direction. I haven’t bought the sneakers yet but plan to try Hoka and I also want some new fashion sneakers to replace two pairs that are getting very tired.</p> <p>Thanks Suz - I think there’s that tension between aspects of style that keep it interesting and that’s where the three words help. I never find it hard to be breezy but it can top into sloppy if I don’t maintain some elegance and elevation. I could carry that off my my 20s and 30s but not as well in my 50s - that’s being honest here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2024---my-word-colour-and-wardrobe-plans#post-2349408 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 17:18:07 +0000 Suz 2349408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous photos, <b>Sal</b>, and a beautiful reflection on where you are at and where you want to go for the year ahead. I like the combination of grace and courage.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your specific wardrobe plans sound do-able and in light of what you bought last year, very smart -- a nice development and evolution.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2024---my-word-colour-and-wardrobe-plans#post-2349404 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 16:18:10 +0000 Roberta 2349404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea of Grace as your chosen word for the year. A friend of mine years ago, who was married to a former minister, said she couldn't understand the narrowness of some religious views, when "there is enough Grace for everyone". That really stuck with me. There is an openness, a sense of welcoming, that goes with that word.</p> <p>Your vacation spot looks exactly what it should be, a refresher and a respite. And I can't wait to see your new sneakers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2024---my-word-colour-and-wardrobe-plans#post-2349401 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 15:42:01 +0000 Sisi 2349401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy new year, Sal!<br />The bathing suit is stunning! It looks very well made and that shade of red is beautiful. What wonderful places! I wish I were there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2024---my-word-colour-and-wardrobe-plans#post-2349400 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 15:32:20 +0000 rachylou 2349400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leaning into the bold and elegant with red is a great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2024---my-word-colour-and-wardrobe-plans#post-2349396 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 15:25:09 +0000 Cardiff girl 2349396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not at all jealous even though it’s currently-1C here,definitely not ,of those lovely sunny pictures.Your new swimming cossie &nbsp;is a lovely colour and l think red is a lovely colour on you so yes to both your word and colour.Excuse me whilst l go and put another jumper on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2024---my-word-colour-and-wardrobe-plans#post-2349381 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 14:16:38 +0000 Anonymous 2349381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to be there Yay for texture and red! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2024---my-word-colour-and-wardrobe-plans#post-2349375 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 11:42:50 +0000 Star (Lise) 2349375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kia Ora!&nbsp; I think red is great for you.&nbsp; Nice swimsuit.&nbsp; I am really liking your hair in recent pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2024---my-word-colour-and-wardrobe-plans#post-2349372 Wed, 10 Jan 2024 11:23:24 +0000 Dee 2349372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh those photos are dreamy compared to the dreary weather outside my house today.<br /> Great swimsuit addition and it looks like you've got some clear ideas about how you want to go forward with your wardrobe this year.

I feel very lucky.</p> <p>I have started my 2024 planning - and have given some thought to my wardrobe this year.</p> <p>I find choosing a word easier than a colour for some reason. Last year evolve was my word and and it was apt. This year I choose grace - because I want to live my life with grace, and give<br /> grace to people who are different to me. In yoga we often choose a word and grace has been coming to mind frequently.</p> <p>In terms of a colour - I am choosing red. I would like to be brave and bold and red stands for courage. I don’t think this is incompatible with grace - I need both. </p> <p>In terms of my closet like many others I feel as though it is in good shape. I have a couple of sneaker updates due soon, and I do want a new puffer and blazer.</p> <p>I don’t intend to change my moniker or style words - (Grown up Charlie’s Angel and bold breezy and elegant). But I want to lean a bit more into the elegant and bold. I added a fair few essentials in 2023 - which of course are always needed- but I would like to add some hero pieces that are both practical and elegant - maybe using texture - to enrich my outfits.</p> <p>A few specific goals<br /> - tweak my hair - I am not far off but my current cut is not sitting how I want it too.<br /> - look for winter texture - in 2023 I hardly wore any scarves which I had been relying on for winter interest.<br /> - maintaining my current sized wardrobe of around 100 including shoes- but not my gear. This means one in and one out approximately! </p> <p>That’s all for now.</p> <p>I have added in a new swimsuit - tracking has shown me how worn my swimsuits are - and I was in a town today with an excellent range so I tried on several and bought one. It is yet to be worn.</p> <p>Added a couple of pics of where I am right now which is why I have been struggling to think about clothes. But back home in three days and back to work. </p>
