Put away if you are tired of them but I would not discard.</p> <p>It’s getting the balance right between blending and standing out. I think you do that well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351757 Mon, 05 Feb 2024 07:09:23 +0000 Zaeobi 2351757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous painting - I could totally see you wearing it as a pattern on clothing!</p> <p>The way the jewellery , Turtleneck &amp; knitwear in #2 all comes together gives me 'refined Art Teacher' vibes in the best way - not too 'kooky', like you said. </p> <p>#4's Peacock on peacock is great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351411 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 15:47:58 +0000 RobinF 2351411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"I want to look creative, interesting and up to date, but not totally kooky.

You gave voice to the way I was feeling but couldn't put into words.</p> <p>I especially like the black and navy on you. Great outfits!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351399 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 14:01:20 +0000 cjh 2351399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone. Here is the finished but not yet framed painting. It was at good progress above, but not yet past the ugly stage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351385 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 11:41:13 +0000 Dee 2351385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All nicely pulled-together outfits especially love your double peacock outfit. All my skinnier pants are in a holding pattern right now too, they just feel a bit too confining at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351363 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 07:00:10 +0000 slim cat 2351363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All looks good - comfortable with color/pattern/jewelry! Love the last look and painting as well!<br />I'd say I'm feeling the same - a little blending and a little standing out ;-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351346 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 03:15:02 +0000 Barbara Diane 2351346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Especially like the wide jeans and the tweed sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351336 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 02:27:46 +0000 Jaime 2351336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fun and fab. I like the turtleneck and also like the great colors and patterns in #4. And the fun mix with the converse in #3. And so on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351334 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 02:24:37 +0000 Angie 2351334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see someone who as achieved their style goals,<b> cjh</b>! WELL DONE.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look as great in those slim pants as you do in the wide! Pop the slim pants in the holding zone nonetheless since you don't like the colour. I get it. I also get your need to want to wear wide. That's all I want to wear too!&nbsp;</p> <p>#4 is especially stinking cute, since you match your art! My fave. KILLER peacock squared! Your adorable chuckle is delightful :)&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351308 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 01:22:33 +0000 SarahD8 2351308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh I love the double peacock! And the outfit with the copper jewelry is a real stand out too. Well done with your "blend in/stand out" approach. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351298 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:25:29 +0000 Suz 2351298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The turtleneck with the sweater and lovely necklace is great on you. I like outfit 3 a lot, too. I understand that you are done with the slim cut leg, but you wear it very well! And the peacock top and scarf are lovely. I saw some real peacocks last week and wow, what glorious plumage they have but what a noise they make!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351294 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:08:43 +0000 DonnaF 2351294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep your wits about you! I’m going to sneak in and grab that tweedy cardigan from you! I may grab your burgundy cords as well as they look like just the cozy thing to wear on the dreary rainy days we’re having. I have gray straight leg cords that I don’t want to wear. Wanna trade? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351293 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:07:49 +0000 rachylou 2351293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel the same way. I like blending, not invisibility. It occurs to me that sometimes I may look farther out there in isolation, but in my ultrametro setting, I’m not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351291 Thu, 01 Feb 2024 00:01:35 +0000 Irina 2351291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love that black turtleneck on you! So chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-of-both-and-vague-reflections-on-current-wardrobe#post-2351275 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 22:39:56 +0000 cjh 2351275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In response to the blog post today, blend in or stand out, I think I really want a little of both. I want to look creative, interesting and up to date, but not totally kooky. I want to be appropriate for the setting but not boring, comfortable but not too undressed-casual, and modern but fit in with anyone. In my estimation, I’ve been doing okay with this, considering my activities, environment and social groups.</p> <p>Here are some recent combos.<br />1. What I wore today for painting group and errands, and very similar to most days, wide leg jeans (Old Navy), cotton button shirt (JCPenney), cardigan (probably TJMaxx, rather old), Converse canvas tennis shoes.<br />2. Black ribbed turtleneck, tweedy cardigan (Target, a couple years old), and jeans, bright copper necklace, gift from daughter a few years ago and I finally got some copper earrings to go with it.<br />3. Burgundy corduroy jeans (these are going to holding as they are warm comfortable and fit fine but I don’t like the slim cut or the color for pants), navy pullover with gold and burgundy striped belled sleeves (old), rust and burgundy plaid flannel shirt (Sierra, don’t know brand), tan leather high top Converse. Necklace is made with a satin cord and three little stone charms I got at the Denver Science and Natural History Museum when I picked out some for my grandsons. Mine are a sun, a leaf and a bird. A nice warm outfit, but the pants bothered me.<br />4. Cotton peacock print shirt (I made), peacock print scarf (very old), green wool cardigan (TJMaxx, old), wide leg jeans (Lands End), navy and green mottled high top Converse. Standing by my tree painting at one of my paint groups this month.</p> <p>This morning I put three pair of boyfriend jeans which fit well but are cropped or rolled away with summer clothes. They were in the way and should’ve been moved in October. Three button shirts and three long sleeve tees went into holding along with the burgundy jeans. Realistically there are still too many shirts in the closet but I like and wear them all, ugh. I guess not ugh. I should say yay that I like my clothes.&nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>Thanks for reading!</div></p>
