You look fabulous and the booties sandals are made for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-a-catch-up-and-wiw#post-2328423 Fri, 30 Jun 2023 20:27:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 2328423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have missed seeing you Jenn so this is great. The new sandals still have that Sarah Connor vibe to my eye! And the Pirates shirt is fun.<br /> Yay for getting the wears up. I’m doing well on that, overall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-a-catch-up-and-wiw#post-2328421 Fri, 30 Jun 2023 19:50:13 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2328421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this outfit on you, Jenn. The sandals are just right with it, to my eye, and yes, they add a little toughness. As does the color palette. So great to see a WIW from you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-a-catch-up-and-wiw#post-2328388 Fri, 30 Jun 2023 03:41:50 +0000 Carla 2328388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome sandals! &nbsp;They take the look in a different direction. &nbsp;Fab styling overall. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-a-catch-up-and-wiw#post-2328381 Fri, 30 Jun 2023 02:16:43 +0000 Sal 2328381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit and your new additions.&nbsp; Sandals are great on you.&nbsp; My black jumpsuit has been demoted to very casual loungewear but I still feel so good when I wear it - maybe a sign to get a replacement!&nbsp; They aren't as prevalent at the moment though.</p> <p>I am trying to get some wears up.&nbsp; Two pieces that I "made" get to 30 wears have had differing results.&nbsp; One I have not worn since (the pink sweater) and one I have kept wearing of my volition and am enjoying a lot more (I have stopped trying to make them versatile and wear in a repeat outfit) all the time.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-a-catch-up-and-wiw#post-2328379 Fri, 30 Jun 2023 01:55:25 +0000 Jaime 2328379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha Jenn that is interesting!

I'm a fan of Gudrun's clothing and have several tops and dresses in my wardrobe. I've only added 6 items to my wardrobe this year because I'm trying to get reduce the number of items in my packed closet and have made a lot of progress this year, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-a-catch-up-and-wiw#post-2328198 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 18:11:31 +0000 Roberta 2328198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those sandals are GREAT and are not about conventional flattery. Knotting the dress is a great touch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-a-catch-up-and-wiw#post-2328196 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 18:05:53 +0000 LJP 2328196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - very cool look ! I’m with Suz in not seeing an issue with the high ankle/ vamp part of the sandal . The dress and topper have so much movement I’m sure the visual is quite different in reality . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-a-catch-up-and-wiw#post-2328194 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 17:24:43 +0000 Suz 2328194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is gorgeous on. you, <b>Jenn!</b> And good for you for getting those wears up to where you'd like them to be. The jumpsuit looks super versatile and the sandals are a fab replacement for the worn out ones! I don't see the problem with cut off ankles. The focus is on the interesting pattern and tie up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-bit-of-a-catch-up-and-wiw#post-2328191 Wed, 28 Jun 2023 17:05:21 +0000 Jenn 2328191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been focused on some other things recently and have deprioritized posting, but my "wear my clothes" project continues apace and today the stars aligned for a check-in.&nbsp;</p> <p>Earlier this year, I targeted 41 garments from 2022 and previous years to try to push over the 30 wears line this year. I'm down to 35 garments on that list now, with another 5 over 25 wears. Slowly but surely, I'm wearing my clothes.</p> <p>So far, it's been an unseasonably cool summer for us, so my warm weather clothing hasn't gotten much play. With temps lingering in the 70s, I've been mostly concerned with transitional clothing so far this year.</p> <p>I bought four new items in May and June, bringing my total for 2023 so far to 13. A new jumpsuit from Known Supply has been an easy solution for this summer's cool mornings and mild afternoons. Two new graphic tees get paired with jeans or skirts for both theme park days and quiet weekends. And my new AS98 sandals feel like an upgrade from my worn-out olive Miz Mooz pair. AS98's Italian leather is velvety soft.</p> <p>I haven't been taking a lot of WIW pics, but I'm in full-on Gudrun Sjoden lagenlook today. I thought the new sandals might toughen things up a little, but I think they might just cut off my ankles in an awkward way here. Tying the overdress did add a little shape and the outfit feels fun and interesting to me, even if it's not quite the most flattering. </p>
