The column of colour really, really works and your talent for accessorizing makes each outfit uniquely "you." I LOVE the jumpsuit (as well as the dress, but I already said that). And that embroidered hoodie is amazing? When/where did you get that? I seem to have missed it. I love how the stitching on your boots echoes the pattern of the hoodie.  Even though your style is more boho and mine "preppier" or more classic, I also see overlap between us in that we both stick to a limited colour palette and like to play with different silhouettes. Interesting. My aspirational style is probably somewhere between my current style and yours -- not in the boho direction but in the direction of finding simple but high quality core pieces to accessorize the heck out of, and I would like those pieces to have some architectural presence. Or so I always say...but then I run into a problem in that those pieces may not fit me and/or they are only available in black, and/or they are lacking a certain dynamism that I also need. Hmmm. Off to ponder.  Angie on "Angie’s Challenge, Days 1-3" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-days-1-3#post-2008119 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 17:25:30 +0000 Angie 2008119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ SOOOO Jenn. Your style is distinctive, and works flawlessly for you. It's always a pleasure to see your looks and fun poses!  KILLER x2, and I expected nothing less. Rock on. karen13 on "Angie’s Challenge, Days 1-3" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-days-1-3#post-2008094 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 16:56:35 +0000 karen13 2008094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These do both seem so you! I always think of you in cognac, rust rich browns and of course black. I really want that gorgeous embroidered cardigan - even though it is not my palette at all. But I’d make it work somehow. A maker group lunch sounds so fun and like the perfect place to wear it.

And your jumpsuit fits your life too. I wouldn’t think of wearing anything sleeveless in winter, though!

I think you captured arty boho edge very well! And a maker group sounds like a lot of fun Jenn on "Angie’s Challenge, Days 1-3" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-days-1-3#post-2008063 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 16:17:49 +0000 Jenn 2008063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Kathie, yes! The new pieces are proof of my nascent, "fewer but better" strategy. I kind of didn't ever want to take that dress off. Thank you, Joy! Like you, I'm probably a bit more dressy than the environmental norm here. Also like you, I don't really mind. Thank you, Taylor! I tried to define a core silhouette once and quickly realized that just wouldn't work for me. Firecracker, we have a ton of style overlap!  And yes, the jumpsuit is Eileen Fisher. Adding to Finds. SarahD8, for sure.  My days can be quite varied, so I need clothing that will adapt with me. Thank you so much, Katerina. That means a lot coming from someone like you, who is so confident and secure in her own style. Brooklyn, as much as possible, I like having a year-round closet. I probably won't be wearing linen in February or cashmere in August, but most everything else is fair game. Jessikams, it's definitely not an out-of-the-house look for me. Just the jumpsuit alone would be pushing it if I'm on-the-go.  It was fine for working at home and a couple of errands, though.

You must have a stronger bladder than I!

Your style is very distinctive. I love the embroidered hoodie! And well done with wearing your new warm weather items now.

It is unique, fun, interesting, and you are one of the most stylish people on YLF. I also admire your skills and discipline in building the perfect for your style wardrobe. All these outfits are great. No 3 is especially striking.

Your outfits worked for you even when your day didn’t go as planned — what you were wearing just let you get on with it. That’s a sure sign of authentic and effective style.

I always admire your outfits in a way that makes me want to copy them. I love your jumpsuit--is it Eileen Fisher? With the long brown cardigan and casual, roughed-up booties, you make it your own. And the dress outfit is wonderful to see, and to hear you describe as maybe your most characteristic one. I can also picture the not-pictured one, with the golden tones of the sweater and sneakers, which I very much associate with your style. taylor on "Angie’s Challenge, Days 1-3" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-days-1-3#post-2007826 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 03:52:57 +0000 taylor 2007826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look terrific . So true about you switching up the silhouette and shape when you have a limited color palette, you do a great job with that !

The floral sweater with the ES dress is a completely you: minimalism with a twist!  Jenn on "Angie’s Challenge, Days 1-3" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angie%e2%80%99s-challenge-days-1-3#post-2007755 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 01:15:42 +0000 Jenn 2007755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A little about me: I’m a mom with two teenagers in the house (one of whom is mine), who works from home in a creative handmade business. I currently live in a small town in northern Colorado, but will be moving to a larger city in California within the next few months. My style moniker is always fluid, but “artsy boho edge” feels kind of good right now. I wear a lot of natural fibers, a lot of black and brown, and mostly warm, earthy accent colors. Outfit 1 - Trying out the jumpsuit I bought as a WFH uniform, with a long sweater over, because winter. I expected this to be mostly a writing/computer work day, but a rush order came in and I ended up doing production work until past midnight. The jumpsuit made the transition seamlessly. This outfit feels like me because of the column of the color, v-neckline, and combination of black and brown. Outfit 2 - Not shown (but represented in Finds), because it was a stressful production day that saw me rushing to a post office in the next town over at 5:20 to be sure my shipment made it to the client on time. I wore boyfriend jeans, a graphic tee, my cozy yellow sweater, and cognac Chuck Taylors. This is the kind of thing I’ve been wearing since college, so vintage me. Outfit 3 - A break after two very long days. I have a regular weekly coffee meeting with my maker group on Wednesday mornings, and then ran some errands and a dentist appointment in the afternoon. I wore my new Elizabeth Suzann dress with my embroidered hoodie sweater and cowboy boots. If I were to pick the MOST me outfit in my closet, this might be it. I felt great all day. Three days, three different silhouettes, by the way, is also very me. I wear a limited color palette, but switch up the shapes often.
