I like the drapiness, the lighter color palette, and the fact that it's not a solid color. </p> <p>KELLYGIRL--Wow, more affirmation for my blingy top. I doubt myself because it's not current fashion...</p> <p>FIRECRACKER--thank you! I enjoyed all these outfits; I think I'm improving from where I was a year ago. It's a process, kind of like music, right? :)</p> <p>TR3KKIE9RL--Okay, the holiday shirt gets to stay in my closet for the 2015 holiday season! I might even bring it out for non-holidays. I felt great in #1; glad you like it, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-2015-wiws#post-1424314 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 14:13:57 +0000 Windchime 1424314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RACHYLOU--I love it--"nice, neat, and tasteful with pep." Re collarbone--I always wonder if I should wear higher collars because my neck is long? </p> <p>ANGIE--the hair compliments are much appreciated! I got my new driver's license pic taken in this outfit, and the Secretary of State employee even mentioned my hair. Maybe I should quit thinking about coloring it.</p> <p>UNFRUMPED--High five, BR pants twin! I often pair my black merino turtleneck and a colored topper with them but like how they feel with lighter, brighter colors. Try it and let us know!</p> <p>SHEVIA--Thx; I like my blingy shirt, too. It's several years old and I wondered if it was getting dated. It's not fluid fit. </p> <p>SUZ--Thx; it sounds like I'm on the right track with my winter color palette. Funny, I've always worn a bit of grey, but it's really becoming a good color for me as my hair is greying. But I don't want to look like an all-grey middle-aged woman, you know? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-2015-wiws#post-1424273 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 12:28:28 +0000 trekkiegirl 1424273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely love the skirt and jacket pairing in 1, poncho in 3 is adorable and looks super comfy. The fun shirt is great why would you get rid of it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-2015-wiws#post-1424198 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 05:06:50 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1424198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all super outfits, and it's nice to get a sense of your style, Windchime. I really like the bright colors and winter white on you--I can see why you want to get more of those colors into your wardrobe. The grays are also stunning on you, and I really like your skirt-and-leggings outfit. Nice mix of textures in #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-2015-wiws#post-1424187 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 04:52:37 +0000 kellygirl 1424187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the drapey cardigan on you. What a terrific find. I like the blouse in the last photo. The colors and the layering look so good on you. You have a beautiful smile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-2015-wiws#post-1424178 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 04:36:24 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1424178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the striped cardigan is particularly nice on you. Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-2015-wiws#post-1424139 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 03:18:59 +0000 Suz 1424139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad you are enjoying white/ light neutrals because I think they love you back! I, too, have recognized that winter white really makes me happy in winter. I don't know why it took me so long to figure that out.&nbsp;</p> <p>You also look great in greys (they harmonize with your hair) and in the fuchsia/ pinks. Fun colours in that holiday top and you look so pretty and happy there. I also love the poncho/sweater in #3. It probably works with pants, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-2015-wiws#post-1424096 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 02:10:42 +0000 Jaime 1424096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is terrific and I like how the colors in the holiday outfit look on you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-2015-wiws#post-1424067 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 01:22:34 +0000 unfrumped 1424067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waving to pants twin. I like your combinations and think I should try some lighter colors with mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-2015-wiws#post-1424047 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 00:58:00 +0000 Angie 1424047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to see you post, Windchime. You are extra fab in #3. I think the best outfit I've seen you in on this forum. Your hair looks amazing in that photo too. You wear grey very well. It picks up the gorgeous shades in your hair. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-2015-wiws#post-1424042 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 00:53:50 +0000 rachylou 1424042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way you do things, Windchime. Nice, neat, and tasteful with pep. #5 is very flattering because you're showing collar bone. You could jack up the flattery quotient in #1 with a jacket tailored to show a waistline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-2015-wiws#post-1424038 Wed, 14 Jan 2015 00:42:34 +0000 Windchime 1424038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still struggling with too-shadowy pics; thanks for bearing with these.&nbsp; There may be some technology in my life in the near future with a better camera!</p> <p>I worked on my wardrobe a lot during 2014; these WIW's show some of the new additions and give an idea of some of the outfits I typically wear for work these days.&nbsp;&nbsp;I want to become better at selecting clothing and styles which are flattering; I'm also working out what my style descriptors are; your observations and feedback are valued and appreciated.</p> <p>1.&nbsp; Gap navy tweed moto jacket with recently-acquired Classiques Entier navy lace pencil skirt.&nbsp; At first I tried the outfit with a navy turtleneck and also with a white blouse but, on that particular day, felt happiest with my fuchsia sweater contrasting with the navy.</p> <p>2.&nbsp; A Target-brand sweater from last year, paired with the Banana Republic trousers I purchased in fall.&nbsp; I'm finding I really enjoy wearing white and winter white and intend to add more of these light, bright&nbsp;colors in the future.</p> <p>3.&nbsp; Another Target purchase--a sort of poncho-esque cardigan.&nbsp; I first wore it with black jeans and then thought I'd do my own take on the skirted leggings look.&nbsp; I wore my black pencil skirt and black leggings, along with a Gap black merino turtleneck sweater.</p> <p>4.&nbsp; And, finally, a December holiday outfit.&nbsp; I wore this to&nbsp;a Christmas party with the adult choir from the church where I work.&nbsp; The shirt is several years old and might be on its way out of my closet, but it's a fun shirt and you can get a better look at my face than my usual WIW's show.&nbsp; :)</p>
