Too bad when they can’t be seen.<br /> Suz, I like that solution to having your outfits seen.<br /> Gigi, my jacket was black on black pattern/texture so I could add something more without it being over the top.<br /> Thanks Alexandria. And a good point. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1977101 Sun, 25 Nov 2018 16:03:25 +0000 Alexandra 1977101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that you quickly came up with a plan so you don’t get caught in this situation again. Interestingly, your reply to torontogirl made me ponder the extent to which my scarves function as the piece that pulls the outfit together. I find it harder to put together summer outfits because often the temps and humidity don’t allow for a scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1977044 Sun, 25 Nov 2018 07:32:47 +0000 rachylou 1977044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! Good point. I’ve always had trouble with this where handbags are concerned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1977042 Sun, 25 Nov 2018 07:19:03 +0000 Gigi 1977042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That can be really tough, IMO--creating an outfit in which you have an interesting topper but also an interesting base layer. I think it would be easy to have "too much going on." I don't know that my outfit-creation skills are up to it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1977037 Sun, 25 Nov 2018 04:22:53 +0000 Suz 1977037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your pain! So frustrating. I am sure you looked wonderful anyway but it's annoying when you go to the trouble of planning a fun and festive outfit and nobody gets to see it.&nbsp;</p> <p>When this has happened to me in the past I have sometimes said to Mr. Suz or a girlfriend, "Let's 'dress up' for dinner," on an ordinary night. Or lunch or snacks or whatever. And we just do it. So my outfit gets its outing and I get to wear my fab clothes.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1977019 Sun, 25 Nov 2018 01:29:12 +0000 Jessikams 1977019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny! I went to a house party yesterday and it was a shoes-off household. I hate that for parties— my special outfit needs its special shoes! (But of course I get it, we are pretty much shoes-off at our house too) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1977016 Sun, 25 Nov 2018 00:58:08 +0000 Barbara Diane 1977016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1977004 Sat, 24 Nov 2018 23:37:56 +0000 Angie 1977004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Barbara Diane, you sparkle and shine from within. But good reminder nonetheless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1976996 Sat, 24 Nov 2018 22:49:44 +0000 Barbara Diane 1976996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, thanks for the overlay idea. I ‘d love to see yours if you have a chance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1976995 Sat, 24 Nov 2018 22:41:38 +0000 Anonymous 1976995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An over layer in an unusual color has been working well for me, it doesn't interfere with the predominantly neutral colors of my outfits and it's a good way for me to experiment with color because it's an entrance and piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1976972 Sat, 24 Nov 2018 20:08:32 +0000 Barbara Diane 1976972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Alexandra</b>, I'd wear either my purple top with the black dots, or, if in all black again I'd add a scarf and/or a more impactful necklace/necklace combo. Or maybe all of the above.<br /><b>torontogirl</b>, that makes sense. My summer outfits stand much better on their own, because I don't expect a third piece to pull them together. Unless it is so hot that I just don't care :)<br />I looked ok, but I would have liked to look better. I felt like I looked like I didn't care. It only worked because, I guess, most of the others didn't dress up either.<br /><b>Katerina</b>, I think even without your blazers, your scarves would make you look very pulled together.<br /><b>Bonnie</b>, it's nice to know it isn't just me :)<br /><b>JAileen</b>, the best laid plans....At least, unlike me, you had on a striped top. But your planned outfit sounds wonderful.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1976965 Sat, 24 Nov 2018 17:45:46 +0000 JAileen 1976965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This happened to me, too, this Thanksgiving. My family’s house is always cold. Except it wasn’t on Thursday. I had a nice pattern mix planned, but just wore the striped top, sans tie dye scarf and color block sweater. Oh well... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1976963 Sat, 24 Nov 2018 17:18:25 +0000 Bonnie 1976963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That has happened to me, too. Thanks for the reminder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1976957 Sat, 24 Nov 2018 16:58:45 +0000 Katerina 1976957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can certainly relate to that, especially when wearing a blazer to dinner. Thank you for the reminder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1976952 Sat, 24 Nov 2018 16:32:46 +0000 Helena 1976952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the constant struggle I have - a topper or jacket makes things look so polished, but it's so rarely the right temperature to wear them! This is why every great Instagram or Pinterest photo seems to be taken in early fall. Great that you are ready for next time, and honestly, I'm sure you looked lovely all day </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1976950 Sat, 24 Nov 2018 16:20:06 +0000 Alexandra 1976950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a good reminder. Thank you for sharing! So what are you going to wear next time? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-little-reminder#post-1976948 Sat, 24 Nov 2018 16:17:38 +0000 Barbara Diane 1976948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought the house where we went for Thanksgiving would be cold.<br /> The interest in my outfit was in the jacket/blazer,<br /> The house was warm.<br /> We took a walk and I got overheated.<br /> Cuter shoes came off for the walk and got left in the car.<br /> Jacket had to come off for the rest of the day.<br /> The rest of my outfit was very plain, except for a small necklace. I felt my outfit looked like I was staying home, not festive at all.<br /> Luckily really only one adult had something really special on.<br /> Basic lesson re-learned. Wear something interesting under my jacket or sweater.<br /> Good news-I have an idea what to wear under the jacket next time. </p>
