You really seem to have hit your style stride (as well as your actual stride, LOL) and everything here looks so "you" and so pristine and great. The cream booties are a fantastic addition.&nbsp;</p> <p>The ones that immediately sang to me were 1, 4, 9, 10, 15, 16, 20, 22.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025893 Thu, 09 May 2019 14:51:06 +0000 Christina F. 2025893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adriana - yes, you're correct. I do love the dark bottoms but i do like some variety. I've learned not to buy too many crazy colored or patterned pants, since I won't wear reach for them enough, but white jeans are in the rotation now for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025611 Wed, 08 May 2019 15:49:03 +0000 Liesbeth 2025611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for elaborating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025575 Wed, 08 May 2019 13:55:34 +0000 catherine 2025575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have great style and like all of your outfits very much. I am especially partial to the dress over pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025572 Wed, 08 May 2019 13:47:10 +0000 Bijou 2025572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the promotion. Your wardrobe is working so well, all of these looks are so pulled together and you have great style. I also like the addition of the white shoes - they really brighten everything up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025562 Wed, 08 May 2019 13:37:19 +0000 Angie 2025562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. White shoes work extra well when you wear white.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025537 Wed, 08 May 2019 13:02:13 +0000 Adriana 2025537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Impressive. I like a lot of your outfits. I do similar like you with dark bottoms and sometimes want to change things up. The outfit with the white trousers is an good example. Love your shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025516 Wed, 08 May 2019 11:59:18 +0000 Christina F. 2025516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>smittie, thank you, and that’s a great sweater. Wonderful staple. </p> <p>Thanks Mainelady and runcarla.</p> <p>Liesbeth - since I’ve posted here I have been able to analyze what I am drawn to and have thought it out, but not in a numbers or spreadsheets kind of way. I tend to like to have one print or otherwise bold piece per outfit. I like pattern but pattern mix only rarely. This means I’ve had to shop systematically for supporting acts. It also means I default to jeans A LOT, because it’s easy with my statement tops. I am trying to default to jeans less, and will be more successful at that in the summer. </p> <p>I also know what my core neutrals are - navy, white/cream, black and olive. And any metallic, since that goes with anything. I am mostly drawn to non-neutrals that play well with those colors, anyway, so it works out n</p> <p>As for shoes, I actually have some color duplication, but that’s okay because NYC is hard on shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025499 Wed, 08 May 2019 10:24:52 +0000 Liesbeth 2025499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I ask you something? Do you have a process for shopping that allows you to have a great mix and match wardrobe (eg one pair of statement metallic flats, one neutral) or does it come to you naturally? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025440 Wed, 08 May 2019 03:21:32 +0000 Carla 2025440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in the florals - especially the dress in the first photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025367 Tue, 07 May 2019 22:27:38 +0000 Mainelady 2025367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many great outfits and your smile is fabulous in them all.<br /> My faves are #1, 4, 16 and 22.

Beautiful! </p> <p>I also like the look of the white sweater and dark jeans. I’m going to stock up on those Tilda crew neck sweaters when budget allows! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025363 Tue, 07 May 2019 22:05:21 +0000 Christina F. 2025363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie, for your leadership on the light footwear front. Since I like prints with white, it turns out to be a no brainer. That Madewell dress will come or with combat boots at some point. I love the 90’s vibe. </p> <p>JAileen, that’s a great jacket! I got it at AT last year and it’s the kind of thing I can wear for years. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025256 Tue, 07 May 2019 14:47:18 +0000 JAileen 2025256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have so many great tops - I’m envious!

I am sorry to hear about your struggle with shoes and insoles, but happy your hip is really improving!! I am myself at a point where&nbsp; I couldn't decide if&nbsp; or how to use insoles to improve my comfort- for shoes in my own sizes or one size bigger, and so... lot of things to try and decide.&nbsp; Then,&nbsp; I can also&nbsp; commiserate with considering&nbsp; shoes a focal/major point when creating outfits-and you did it sooo well!:-)&nbsp; ref outfits, those which caught my attention most, and considered them an inspiration for myself are: nr 9, 15, 16, 17, 20, 23, 26, especially love the button front jeans on you looking killer! Thanks for posting-lots of visuals, always help!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025139 Tue, 07 May 2019 01:25:59 +0000 Jaime 2025139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits - I like all the stripe variations, but also the floral top in 25 is especially nice on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025064 Mon, 06 May 2019 19:36:08 +0000 Alicewonderland 2025064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All fabulous and I especially like you in stripes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025059 Mon, 06 May 2019 19:11:43 +0000 Liesbeth 2025059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’ve got a good thing going there!

I really like your style. The Frye boots are fabulous and they suit you so well.

Boden's been kind to you :)<br /> 22 is an Angie outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025043 Mon, 06 May 2019 18:27:27 +0000 Cardiff girl 2025043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No such thing as too many photos,all though I do feel that I am now well aquainted with your work toilets!Love you in the florals,this is a good pattern on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025022 Mon, 06 May 2019 16:29:59 +0000 Barbara Diane 2025022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, how fun to see do many different outfits on you. I’m glad to hear that your new exercises are helping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-few-weeks-of-wiws#post-2025009 Mon, 06 May 2019 15:39:52 +0000 Christina F. 2025009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Hey all! It's been a busy time in Christina-land, what with my promotion and all. My team has had a busy time, with our organization's board meeting coming up. I finally have some breathing space, though. Here's some recent WIW's.</div><div><br /> </div><div>This is a mix of work and weekend looks. Rather than comment on each one individually, I'll make some global observations:</div><div><br /> </div><div>1. Our weather has been swinging between rainy and not, and highs 55-75 degrees F</div><div><br /> </div><div>2. My hip is improving again, finally, after I started a regimen on strength training (different from the PT-prescribed exercises I was doing before, more intense). The day I walk with no discernable pain whatsoever is finally in sight.<br /> </div><div><br /> </div><div>3. That said, I still have focused on finding shoes that work for me, either in and of themselves, or sized up so I can use inserts. I've developed an outer toe bunion on one side, since I've used an insoles on my "normal" shoe size that made things too tight. So now I need to size up on closed toe shoes, and in some cases put in a heel grip on the back of the shoe so my heel doesn't slip out. The Naturalizer shoes in the Find below, once I added the insole and the heel grip, have been wonderful for walking, but I often switch to flats at the office.The Bernardo loafers are too tight with the big insole, and also too loose in the back. With a smaller insole and a heel grip, I think they will work. They have a decent lug sole, and are okay for walking outside once I use some kind of insole. The Frye boots were my fun purchase.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. Since it's sometimes warm, boho lite is creeping back into my wardrobe. <br /></div><div><br /> </div><div>Too many photos - apologies!<br /> </div> </p>
