I'll have to think about your comment about my outfits expressing a consistent persona/aesthetic. Interesting observation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883995 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 20:01:12 +0000 SarahD8 1883995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing! I cannot pick a favorite. I’m struck by how much variety you have here, and yet the outfits seem to express such a consistent persona/aesthetic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883973 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 18:42:51 +0000 karen13 1883973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You get amazing variety and unique looks out of your challenge, and yet every outfit is fabulous - nothing feels like you were forcing anything. #2,3,7,9 are my favorites from an incredibly strong list.</p> <p>I love and want to steal all your shoes!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883972 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 18:34:06 +0000 JAileen 1883972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - you have so many great pieces! My fave is #1. It’s cute and fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883952 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 17:46:18 +0000 Lynn 1883952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie- thanks for the feedback on your experience with the ratios, I appreciate it. <br />&nbsp;<br />Cool that Jussie noticed that color pattern formula. This forum is so great!</p> <p>I will look forward to your future posts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883942 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 17:37:21 +0000 Angie 1883942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILER casual and fun looks all round.&nbsp;</p> <p>Style Moniker: Delightful Diane (since you adore Diane Keaton). #2 and #7 are my faves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883915 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 16:23:54 +0000 Bonnie 1883915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>shevia: Thank you.</p> <p>Katerina: Thank you. I really like the Ruana in #2. I'ts one of the first items I bought when I started my present wardrobe three years ago.</p> <p>jussie: Thank you. You have noticed a pattern I didn't know about, but I &nbsp;see it now. Interesting! I have tried to keep to a color palette of black, gray, white, most blues, and some reds. Other colors replace the reds occasionally.</p> <p>rachylou: Thanks. I've been working on this capsule for a few years and I think it's finally coming together.</p> <p>Brooklyn: Thank you. Last years YLF emphasis on pattern mixing helped with that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sterling: It's because of you that I am even attempting this. Thank you so much for starting this 30x30 Challenge. I've worked on capsules before but never this type where items and days are limited. And, encouraging us to tailor the challenge to our needs really was key for me. Also, you also make really helpful comments!</p> <p>Mainelady: Thank you. I really liked the brown blazer when I first bought it three years ago, but it has been an orphan in my closet. This challenge helped me find it's friends and now it's earned it's place. The black zipper jacket is a favorite, and I'm sad to say I machine washed it when it should be dry cleaned. It doesn't have the crispness it once had and I'm hoping to find a replacement.&nbsp;</p> <p>torontogirl: Thank you. I have never noticed that about navy, but I think you are right. I think I'll test it by taking photos wearing different color tops one day when I have some time. If I do it on the same day, the lighting should be consistent.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883861 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 12:46:46 +0000 Helena 1883861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so amazing in all of these - so modern and trendy, but still chic and classy. You glow in navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883832 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 10:23:07 +0000 Mainelady 1883832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of your outfits are great! Cozy and chic. The jackets in #6,9 really catch my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883828 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 10:05:24 +0000 Anonymous 1883828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your challenge is super fun. &nbsp;Numbers 1, 2, 7, 9, and 10 were my favorites. &nbsp;</p> <p><u>But Number 2 is amazing</u>. &nbsp;It screams cozy elegance. &nbsp;The colors are rich and proportions are perfect. &nbsp;Is this the first time I am seeing this piece? &nbsp; I can't imagine I would not remember it from previous posts. &nbsp;</p> <p>Number 9 is just plain cool. &nbsp;I love it. &nbsp;</p> <p>You are pairing your toppers with the greatest jeans and footwear. I could be taking lessons from you. &nbsp; </p> <p><b>Jussis</b>'s observation was spot on. Once I saw it, it is great formula. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883819 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 08:53:45 +0000 Brooklyn 1883819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fab Bonnie! Extra love for 2 and 9. And for the pattern mix in 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883812 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 07:45:56 +0000 rachylou 1883812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything works so well together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883806 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 06:29:25 +0000 jussie 1883806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits- I think I notice a pattern here, in at least a few of your outfits:<br /> 1 piece in a first colour or neutral<br /> 1 piece in a second colour or neutral<br /> 1 piece that combines either the first or second colour with a third color or neutral </p> <p>This method seems to tie the outfit together so nicely and also keep it interesting by having 3 different colours going on. I’m gonna try it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883796 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 05:09:13 +0000 Katerina 1883796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful set of outfits, Bonnie! I love all of them. You have fantastic sense of style. No 2 really spoke to me - it is such a great fun outfit. All the outfits really suit you, you look beatiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883790 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 03:50:37 +0000 Jaime 1883790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fabulous!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883774 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 02:42:32 +0000 Bonnie 1883774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Cat: Thank you. You're right, I do have a variety of toppers.&nbsp;</p> <p>Windchime: Thank you. The sneakers were an Angie Pick that I bought on my first NAS. They have been workhorses for three years.</p> <p>Lynn: I think my ratio of toppers, tops, shoes, and pants is working really well. I had added 5 new tops, 1 topper, 1 pair of pants, and 1 pair of shoes to this (out and about) capsule this year, and I needed to work out how best to wear them. This challenge was a perfect way to inspire me to actually work on this.</p> <p>La Pedestrienne: Thank you. I got the poncho after seeing someone on the Forum post an outfit featuring it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Joy: Thank you. The Paige Hoxton and Pilcro faux leather jeans are getting a lot of wear this year because of this challenge. I hope you find your coated jeans - they are fun to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883764 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 01:56:39 +0000 Anonymous 1883764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie I love your style and look forward to ways that you style your Paige Hoxton jeans. I love your black coated jeans and miss mine. I need to find some with a mid to high rise. Every outfit is so well styled.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883744 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 00:41:16 +0000 LaPed 1883744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow. Love 1, 6, 9, but I think #3 is my fav -- poncho + sneakers is so, so fun. Your topper collection is really enviable, and gives you such great variety. You wear sneakers like nobody's business. All of these are just delightful, and really you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883741 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 00:30:10 +0000 Lynn 1883741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very interested in your challenge, Bonnie. You know you are my style inspiration I am having fun wearing the few toppers I have rather than just tossing on my lightweight down coat and I want to add more toppers. &nbsp;I am wondering if you are finding the ratio of 10 tops, 10 toppers, 5 pants and 5 shoes to be good. Would you change the amount of the items in any way if you were not doing a 30 x 30 challenge?</p> <p>BTW gotta get those Fly London boots- love them. Hope they will fit my narrow feet. I have several pairs of fashion sneakers including some high tops but I think I really like the platform sneakers better. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883739 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 00:28:44 +0000 Windchime 1883739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how you structured the Challenge. You have wonderful style! Very fun shirt in #1, and great high top black sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883737 Mon, 29 Jan 2018 00:04:28 +0000 The Cat 1883737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab style you have! Great variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-challengepart-2#post-1883736 Sun, 28 Jan 2018 23:50:20 +0000 Bonnie 1883736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My challenge is to style 10 toppers, 10 layering tops, 5 pair pants, and 5 pair of shoes three different ways to make 30 outfits. &nbsp;Sterling encouraged us to tailor the 30x30 Challenge to fit our own needs. So far, I am 2/3 of the way through. It was fun recombining my items to make new outfits. I've included the finds for the pants and shoes I've used so far. </p>
