Bridgie , your comments about my toddler decorated tee make me smile.<br /> Jenni, you make a good point. I hope that I will not buy replacement pieces unless absolutely needed. I can find replacements in my closet most of the time. I need to get rid of the pieces that don't fit as well as I'd like them to or with other pieces. Or I may just not enjoy them any more. You are wise to work to find out why you are not wearing things. I will try more of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1820078 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 03:48:08 +0000 bridgie 1820078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought:&nbsp; looks to me like Joy has been on a shopping spree!</p> <p>No 8--You have a young fashion&nbsp;designer coming on.&nbsp; Decorated tees are very trendy&nbsp;now.I am sure you have noticed you have to shell out more&nbsp; money for the more elaborate ones.&nbsp;</p> <p>Seriously, Joy, I think you have done a great job this week.&nbsp; Keep up the good work.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1820072 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 03:19:08 +0000 Jenni NZ 1820072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am interested in your comment about getting rid of things easier if forced to wear them. I am trying in my current personal challenge to wear my unworn or less worn stuff to try and see WHY I don't wear it. The 4 things I got rid of recently I had been wearing a lot but they were dying or not looking so great. I have found without them I am wearing other things and so far I like them. At least it helps me not to shop to replace the 4. I got rid of 2 olive tops and one olive pant so am glad I didn't buy the autumnal olives I had thought of in April/May- I don't need them now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1820067 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 03:03:12 +0000 Aquamarine 1820067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits. I *really* like 3 and 4, though...black suits you! And I agree your arms look very toned. I live in fear of my arms getting flabby someday, LOL. You're proof positive that they don't have to be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1820047 Sat, 01 Jul 2017 01:19:50 +0000 Column 1820047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you work with your closet, Joy. #1 is adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1820004 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 23:27:42 +0000 Angie 1820004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 and #7 are my faves.

I clearly need to double check what spell-check has done to my posts. Thank you for the compliments on my arms. They mean a lot as I inherited a tendency for upper arm flab. Also black. I could never wear black when younger, so I do enjoy it now.<br /> The white flats with the strap are Cole Haan athletic flats from a couple of years ago. They work so well for me that I duplicated in light grey. I was wanting ankle strap white flats similar to the black ones but never found any that worked for my skinny ankles.<br /> Sterling, no easy attic access here but DH just installed a drying rack in the garage, which is handy to the laundry room. Maybe it will speed up drying. Fingers crossed.<br /> Skylurker, thank you for your detailed observations. That short top in 1 may soon be history. I hope to try it with higher rise bottoms before completely rejecting it. The jeans shown with it are gone because of their low rise. A learning from this 30x30 experience is that I am faster to let things go if forced to wear them when I'd rather not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1819811 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 14:07:14 +0000 Lisa 1819811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't pick a favorite, I like all of these! &nbsp;I also really enjoy those white flats with the strap on them that you have in these looks, they are lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1818217 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 11:23:27 +0000 Jenni NZ 1818217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi I love 2 for the white shoes with white jeans, 3 for the black strap sandals, and 5/6 for the colours and bag.

I hang everything on hangers in my attic. &nbsp;During the summer months everything is dry when I want to wear it. &nbsp;Even that same day sometimes. &nbsp;This system breaks down during the winter months. &nbsp;Then I kinda drape things around the House. &nbsp;Not such a great look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1818212 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 11:13:20 +0000 Jane 1818212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the red in 6 and 7 for appearing to be cool and easy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1818209 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 11:10:40 +0000 skylurker 1818209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3,4,5,6,7.<br /> You look great in a column of black, with your white skin and hair as contrast.<br /> Pretty blouse in #7 and great metallic shoes.<br /> Also love top #5, I'm slightly bothered by the pant length with those shoes (I'd try #3 shoes with the outfit) but I let Angie ponder on that.</p> <p>#1 top is too short, sure. And I'm not fond of the proportions of longer toppers #2,8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1818205 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 11:01:42 +0000 Summer 1818205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits as always, Joy.&nbsp; Agreeing with Style Fan about the black - and the toned arms.&nbsp; Also love the stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1818196 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 09:07:38 +0000 Style Fan 1818196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy you look so elegant in all the outfits.&nbsp; Black is so flattering on you.&nbsp; It makes your hair sparkle.&nbsp; And you do have great arms! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1818150 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 04:30:54 +0000 Dianna 1818150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, you have a lot of variety and really great outfits, my favorites are 3-4, and 5-6.

I needed my jeans today but they were still damp. It was cool and rainy but I walked the dog in my skirt :). I will try to keep to the 30 but thank you for understanding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1818025 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 21:20:01 +0000 Anonymous 1818025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Joy </b>-- You look so FABULOUS. &nbsp;THAT is why you are my personal style icon. &nbsp;My favorites are numbers 2 and 3. &nbsp;So elegant. &nbsp;</p> <p>SO. &nbsp;The laundry thing. &nbsp;That does make it challenging, doesn't it? &nbsp;I do one load a day. &nbsp;I do a load of whites on day 1, darks on day 2, sheets/towels on day 3. &nbsp;I have always done this so I knew I would be ok on laundry. &nbsp;Most women (heck, people) don't do laundry this way. &nbsp;I think I am the weird one here. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am going to get through the 30 x 30 challenge. &nbsp;I very much doubt I could do a 60 x 60 challenge. &nbsp;I did pull everything into a single lonely closet. &nbsp;It does make getting dressed easier. &nbsp;But I can see how this could be boring FAST. &nbsp;</p> <p>WRT counting shoes. &nbsp;Many people who do these types of challenges do not count accessories!! &nbsp;We could have chosen to exclude shoes. &nbsp;You still can, Joy. &nbsp;This is your challenge and I want you to be happy. &nbsp;</p> <p></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1818022 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 21:16:51 +0000 Anonymous 1818022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As far as the first week is concerned, I have learned that I don't have enough pieces to keep up with laundry for my needs. A more doable challenge for me would be 40x40 or 60x60 This ( 60x60) would take most if not all of my seasonal wardrobe, so about everything could get worn.<br /> II would also like to not count shoes. I allowed 4 pair...2 casual and 2 smart casual. t would be better to have 3 pair of each or more, both because hot weather outfits depend heavily on interesting footwear and for more changes for heathy, happy feet ( like changes in heel height which I forgot to include).<br /> On the plus side, this is making getting dressed easy because there are few choices. The things I am wearing will be throughly evaluated. I am beginning to see what works best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-outfits-so-far-this-week#post-1817997 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 19:11:15 +0000 Anonymous 1817997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So far I have stuck to the items pulled for this challenge.<br /> 1-2: Monday. 1 is for the Botanic Gardens and 2 for an evening meeting. I did not like the shortness of the striped top in 1 but though I would remove it as a topper. It was cool out so it stayed on. I have a cotton layering tank underneath. Got the evening I added the black button down linen dress as a duster.<br /> Tuesday: 3/4 black EF skinny Ponte pants (rolled) with black EF assemmetrical top. This was for running errands and grabbing a bite to eat at a brew pub. I liked this column of black.<br /> Wednesday 5/6: a hospital procedure for DH, errands and dinner out. The top is an old one that I was advised to have altered to remove the tie but have not done it yet. I included this in the capsule for July 4th, but will need to wear it.<br /> Thursday: 7. I decided on this print top ( butterflies) instead of the similar floral because ruffles. Here worn with cropped jeans for sandbox and play on the floor with DGS. Worked out fine.<br /> Friday: 8. EF linen blend skirt and white tee( decorated with stickers by DGS), EF cardigan. It is quite cool today. Errands.<br /> I will return later to add musings from the week. Dog wants to be walked NOW. </p>
