I think you're talking about the d'Orsay flats in 18 and 20? It's terrible lighting, but they are cognac. All the d'Orsay flats and the skimmers are from JJill. So very comfortable!

I  also love your little friend in the background. carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-million-wiws#post-1494575 Thu, 21 May 2015 16:07:19 +0000 carter 1494575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Izzy and I thank you all! Unfrumped, I agree that at least a hint of waist definition is a must for me, especially since I seem to be losing my waist these days;-) Simple, modern classic, with a touch of femininity. I like that, Lyn. Shevia and Kiwigal used "soft", and I think that plays into the femininity as well. Interesting. I'll have to give that one some thought. Thanks, Diane. I love that #7 was one of your favorites. You know the saying, "comfortable in your own skin"? Well, this outfit is that skin for me. DEB, I agree that tucking/semi-tucking does wonders for proportion, especially now that I can't wear heels. Discovering the semi-tuck was life-changing for me! Beth Ann, what an interesting idea. I've been sort of challenging myself lately to finish accessorizing. This is going fairly well. I'm also trying to wear things that haven't been in rotation recently to see if they should still be in my wardrobe. This has been helpful too. Never thought about working with a particular piece or style element though. I will give this some thought. Thanks! Thank you, Angie! I totally agree about the structure around the hip/waist area. Finally getting my crop length right has made such a difference in "put-togetherness" of my outfits. Thanks for all your assistance there! Carole...the d'Orsay flats too? We just need to share a shoe closet!

It's fun to see lots of WIWs in a row and I appreciate the effort that takes. YLF...ps I think we are d'orsay flat twins!

Lots of fabulous and killer outfits, Carter. Thanks for posting.  I like the outfits with a bit of structure on the hip and waist best because I find them most flattering and polished. Hence these are standouts for me: #3, 4, 8, 11, 13, 16, 18, 19, 21, and 22.  #4, 16 and 21 are killer.  GREAT cropped pant length. Well done.  Beth Ann on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-million-wiws#post-1494518 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:34:53 +0000 Beth Ann 1494518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Carter:  If you are concerned about being too predictable, what about giving yourself a silhouette or wildcard challenge periodically?   For example, you could choose one wildcard item each season, with the expressed purpose of shaking things up a bit, and then incorporate the items into your existing wardrobe at least once a a week.  You could also take a week to explore a new silhouette.  I could see you, for instance, in the Kut flares that were on Angie's Nordies sale list. Deb on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-million-wiws#post-1494514 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:12:07 +0000 Deb 1494514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great collage of outfits and collection of shoes. You have a lovely wardrobe and have cemented your silhouette and style. My favourites today are #'s 3,8,13,16,18,19,21,22,23 because I like the way the shorter and tucked tops create a longer leg line on you. I think the smaller women amongst us benefit from that. Lovely to see your flower buckled belt...you know I love it!

I have a whole bunch of favourites : 1,4,7,8 11,14,15,16,19,21,22 and a couple of real standouts for me for the same reasons as Una are the ones with the long drapey cardigans. I also like the cropped pants on you and especially the ones in 4. lyn67 on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-million-wiws#post-1494497 Thu, 21 May 2015 12:25:58 +0000 lyn67 1494497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Always in lack of time, I use to post in bulk, too:-). It's a good place to be feeling great about your wardrobe, isn't it? Love your main/basic silhouettes, some of  which are very close to mines when wearing the dreaded pants, now sorted out, looks:-). Those ankle pants look very curent, but love your bootcuts, too! And, you have a good assortment of long shirts/blouses, flowy sweaters and longer length cardis, you can play a lot with mix-matching them. Love your shoes, too! I know you have recently turned to all flats, and these are all very stylish, esp love your d'Orsays! They are so comfy, isn't it! I bought me a pair for trying them out (for casuals, and in gold) they are like butter, but not leather and so not sturdy enough. Now would like some leather ones for  dressier looks, like the case with yours.  For your style descriptors, will do simple, modern classic with a touch of feminity (here I think mainly about your characteristic jewelery and belts).  Great looks, all!

Love all your flats. For the longer untucked tops, I like the tops that give a hint of waist definition by being slightly shaped, even if still fluid , or collapsing toward waist, compared to totally floaty like # 14, since you look so great. crutcher on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-million-wiws#post-1494462 Thu, 21 May 2015 11:24:54 +0000 crutcher 1494462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I had such fun doing each outfit..enlarged gave an even better perspective..You do have such a talent for accessories and detail...

The blues (from light to navy) are new for me this season. I'm not sure what prompted it, but I seem to have jumped right in. The top in 21 is definitely a Shevia top. Don't you have something similar? I have worn this one to death since last Summer, but I haven't found a replacement I like as much. Thank you, Karie. I love my flower power belt! Thanks for your comments on fit. Chasing proper fit on this menopausal body is a never-ending battle one day to the next.

Your shoes are all fantastic, the belt in #23 is fab, the long sweater in #21 is super gorgeous. Your clothes all look like they fit you very well, which is something I struggle with.  Jaime on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-million-wiws#post-1494355 Thu, 21 May 2015 01:51:41 +0000 Jaime 1494355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lovely, polished, soft modern classic. I like the lighter blues on you in particular and all your forms of pointy flats. The top in 21 is fantastic. carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-million-wiws#post-1494343 Thu, 21 May 2015 01:24:12 +0000 carter 1494343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Beth Ann! I do love the idea of a uniform formula, but I struggle to keep from turning into, "You'll recognize Carter when you see her...she'll be wearing xxx". 21and 22 felt good. So glad you like them! Una, thank you! I have always loved the long cardis. Blazers feel so restrictive to me, so the long cardi is my 3rd piece, as long as the weather cooperates. Thank you, Staysfit! Everything you said makes me really happy. I was so slack with accessores over the Winter that I am making a concerted effort to do better. Kiwigal, so interesting that you mention the open neckline. In the past week or so, I have been purging based on that. I have some tops where I love everythig about the top on the hanger, but the neckline on me is just atrocious. The V works for me. I need to stick with it. Modern Classic has been my thought, so I'm glad it's coming through. And the soft vs crisp thing...you are so right! I still have the crisp tops that I've favored for years, but I do feel like I'm moving away from them. Sal on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-million-wiws#post-1494333 Thu, 21 May 2015 01:01:37 +0000 Sal 1494333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It is interesting...and it is very cohesive which is why you flew through the capsule challenge, so much mixing and matching!! You definitely suit the open neckline and know how to dress your shape brilliantly.  I love the soft ivory blouses on you, they look wonderful.  21 is a great example of that. In terms of style descriptors, you do seem to fall into the Modern Classic camp, there is a dressy and polished element to your style, but with softness.  Your shirts are mostly drapey rather than crisp.  Just my observations :) You look fab!

Everything here looks fab!  I think your silhouettes are working well for you.  I find your looks varied enough and I think you have done a great job with accessories.  You pay good attention to the details, the shoes are great, the jewelry is perfect with each outfit.  Everything fits well.  I love the colors which are all flattering.  I really love your collection of long sweater toppers.  Very pretty.   catgirl on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-million-wiws#post-1494328 Thu, 21 May 2015 00:52:03 +0000 catgirl 1494328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh, these are all great.  As I was clicking through I was thinking, "nice, nice, nice..." but then SIX!  AND TWENTY-ONE!  I adore those long draped cardis on you!  You have a great figure.  My boys are obsessed with basketball, and my husband coaches 5th grade, so there is no moment at our house when it is not a topic.  Beth Ann on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-million-wiws#post-1494327 Thu, 21 May 2015 00:51:21 +0000 Beth Ann 1494327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Carter! It's great to see so many WIW in a row.  It gives a better sense of your style as a whole.  Consistency is hugely important to a woman's style sense.  Most style icons (like Ines de la Fressange) work with limited silhouettes and make their mark by looking great every day.  That's what I see here.  I particularly love you in the d'orsay flats.  They look elegant, but practical.  21 and 22 are my favorites, although I love you in red, too!
