Since my challenge for myself this week was to stop wearing skinnies, guess what I'm wearing today? Skinnies, of course! But (there's always a <i>but</i>) it's super cold, snowy, and slushy, and I'm going with the second grade classes on a field trip to the airport, so skinnies/sweater/boots is just such an <i><b>easy outfit</b></i><b></b>. (Interesting fact: Before I became a teacher, I wanted to be a commercial airline&nbsp;pilot. What stopped me was my parents wouldn't pay for the out of state aviation&nbsp;college).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-silhouette-challenge-stuck-on-skinny#post-1407382 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 05:35:10 +0000 Deborah 1407382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously Karie you look amazing in a skinny leg.&nbsp; I would be wearing that silhouette daily!&nbsp; Wear what you feel good in:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-silhouette-challenge-stuck-on-skinny#post-1407308 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 03:04:37 +0000 deb 1407308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie, I am stuck on skinnier also. You look so good in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-silhouette-challenge-stuck-on-skinny#post-1407305 Mon, 08 Dec 2014 03:00:04 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1407305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Karie, I hear you on not liking outfits in past photos. Looking forward to<i> that </i>post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-silhouette-challenge-stuck-on-skinny#post-1406946 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 17:19:55 +0000 Angie 1406946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*cuddling you and Cosmo Edward*</p> <p>Be stuck on skinnies. Why not. They work for you right now - there is no shame in that. Your outfits look great, and I see plenty of variety.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love #5. You are gorgeous in Winter white, which matches Cosmo Edward too. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-silhouette-challenge-stuck-on-skinny#post-1406869 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 14:20:25 +0000 Suz 1406869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie, silhouette #1 was basically made for your bod, so wear it all you like, girl and work it! &nbsp;:)&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you look great in all of these, but one favourite here is #1 (what do you mean you don't look good in grey -- isn't that jacket grey???)&nbsp;</p> <p>I also love #3 (sharp!) and the last outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hear you on not liking many outfits from last year. (It gets even worse if you look to the year before). I am telling myself that this is what a style evolution is all about! It's okay to shift and change in our tastes! &nbsp;:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-silhouette-challenge-stuck-on-skinny#post-1406833 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 13:02:22 +0000 Karie 1406833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! Laura, that ON tunic actually was sold as a dress, but it's too short and too lightweight (I'm wearing Cuddl Duds thermals underneath) for me to be comfortable wearing it as one. I only bought it to wear around the house with leggings as I don't really like the color gray on me. I ended up wearing it to church with a pair of skinnies and guess what I got complimented on? The color!</p> <p>Firecracker and Shevia, I think my lightbulb moment here is that I didn't really put any effort into dressing last week. I mostly looked through my outfit photos from last year (it's surprising how many of those I actually <b>don't</b> like, but that's topic for another post) and then thought <i>"Now what were those silhouettes anyway?" </i>I think<i>&nbsp;</i>I need to print out my silhouettes and tape them to the inside of my closet. That will force me to do create some FBOs in different categories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-silhouette-challenge-stuck-on-skinny#post-1406808 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 06:45:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1406808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in silhouette #1, Karie. You are gorgeous in outfit 4, so I guess mixing things up can have its advantages, too. Love the photo of you and your dog, though it makes me shiver a little to look at it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-silhouette-challenge-stuck-on-skinny#post-1406709 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 03:22:25 +0000 Jaime 1406709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say I do like that silhouette on you and see why it is your FBO. But it is also fun to see you switch things up, so good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-silhouette-challenge-stuck-on-skinny#post-1406695 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 03:04:47 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1406695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried the silhouette challenge myself this week (haven't posted pics yet) and I too kept on feeling a pull to my favorite default silhouette. I think these all really suit you. In my mind 2 is a different silhouette because the tunic's long enough to almost be a dress, which I think gives it a different vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/5-silhouette-challenge-stuck-on-skinny#post-1406672 Sun, 07 Dec 2014 02:37:17 +0000 Karie 1406672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And unfortunately I don't mean my weight, LOL</p> <p>&nbsp;These were my 5 silhouettes:</p> <p>1. Skinnies/slim fit&nbsp;pants, sweater/tunic, boots/shoes (work/play)</p> <p>2. Pencil skirt,&nbsp;blouse/sweater, tights/stockings, boots/shoes (work)</p> <p>3. Tube skirt,&nbsp;sweater/fluid top, stockings, shoes (until temps dip below 32F (work)</p> <p>4. Loose fitting pants,&nbsp;flowy top/sweater, shoes/booties (play)</p> <p>5. Jeans, sweater/top,&nbsp;boots/shoes (play)</p> <p>I didn't count this as #6, but I probably should have:&nbsp;Blazer with anything<br /> (work/play)</p> <p>Outfit #1, silhouette #1 - F21 plaid leggings, tunic top - Target, coat - Marc New York,&nbsp;an Angie pick from last year (photo taken last Sunday at Thatcher State Park, NY)</p> <p>Outfit #2, silhouette #1 again - left side worn at home today, middle &amp; right are how I switched it up&nbsp;to wear to&nbsp;church earlier this evening. I wore leggings and socks&nbsp;at home and changed into skinnies and boots for church. I added a cute snowman necklace for a little bling. I was going to wear something dressier, but the weather was cold with snow and freezing rain so cozy and warm was key. Leggings &amp; turtleneck&nbsp;- JCP, tunic - F21, black skinnies - ON Rockstar, booties - ?</p> <p>Outfit #3, silhouette #1 again - this pic was taken last year but I wore this same outfit to work last week. Cigarette pants &amp; button down - JCP, blazer - Target, booties - ?</p> <p>Outfit #4, silhouette #2 (finally something different!). This is also a picture from last year - I wore the same outfit to work last week&nbsp;but this time with gray flats and no statement necklace (I forgot to take a photo). A huge benefit of all those outfit photos I took last year is outfit repeats are easy peasy!</p> <p>Outfit #5, silhouette #1 one more time. Cigarette pants - JCP, lacy sweater with buttons down the back - F21.</p> <p>So my challenge to myself is: <b>Next week stop wearing silhouette #1!</b> In my own defense, I'm extremely busy at work and that silhouette is a FBO.&nbsp;</p> </p>
