Those earrings are ones that I'd been meaning to tweak/remake for about a year (it was sort of fiddly to do so initially I kept stopping and starting, and then kind of forgot about it). Thank goodness my friend's husband took their son to visit his mother so I could finally finish this project!</p> <p><b>bonnie</b>, thank you! I took a basic wire-wrapping class at a bead store many years ago and while I do get a bit rusty the skill comes back -- like riding a bike. My skills are not super advanced but they're adequate to the simple stuff I like. Highly recommend as a hobby!</p> <p><b>Firecracker</b>, yes, sometimes simple is exactly what I need.</p> <p><b>Cardiff girl</b>, great point that I can't get more "me" than me-made jewelry. You've just erased any lingering guilt I had about sitting and making stuff for myself all afternoon, many thanks!</p> <p>Oh, <b>Angie</b>, I'm so glad the top gets your seal of approval! I just purchased it this month and am happy to know it was a good choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-day-2-old-menew-me#post-2007381 Wed, 27 Feb 2019 15:37:20 +0000 Angie 2007381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That top is the bomb on you, <b>SarahDH. </b>Very flattering<b>.&nbsp;</b>Fab with the boots. Practical Seattle look with the boots, of course. And I adore the addition of the refined jewels. Sparkly and pretty. Nice evolution.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-day-2-old-menew-me#post-2007241 Wed, 27 Feb 2019 08:28:43 +0000 Cardiff girl 2007241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your jewellery is lovely and you made it yourself?impressive!and you cant get more me than that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-day-2-old-menew-me#post-2007199 Wed, 27 Feb 2019 05:17:51 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2007199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a nice, simple look for working from home. I love your choice of jewelry, too; what Staysfit said is so true. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-day-2-old-menew-me#post-2007135 Wed, 27 Feb 2019 03:10:28 +0000 Bonnie 2007135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both versions, too. How fun that you are making your own jewelry. I love necklaces and have a hard time finding pieces I like so it would make sense for me to try this. I really like what you've created. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-day-2-old-menew-me#post-2007105 Wed, 27 Feb 2019 02:13:59 +0000 Jaime 2007105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both indoor and outdoor versions and also your explanation of how you are evolving your style. I especially like the earrings too (earrings are my thing!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-day-2-old-menew-me#post-2007069 Wed, 27 Feb 2019 01:13:52 +0000 SarahD8 2007069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the kind words and especially for the jewelry love, April, Staysfit, and kkards!</p> <p>To be clear, they're both the same outfit -- just indoor and outdoor versions. I was trying to separate the elements of the outfit that are long-standing parts of my style from those that are newer. I will update the original post, haha this is what happens when I try not to be so wordy!</p> <p>Eta: thank you so much, Joy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-day-2-old-menew-me#post-2007068 Wed, 27 Feb 2019 01:13:29 +0000 Anonymous 2007068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely. I really like those tones on you. Pretty jewelery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-day-2-old-menew-me#post-2007064 Wed, 27 Feb 2019 00:59:55 +0000 kkards 2007064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like old you and new you...both are have a&nbsp;minimalist, clean feel....<br />and i'm always in awe of the talent so many fabbers have, how wonderful that you make your own&nbsp;jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-day-2-old-menew-me#post-2007061 Wed, 27 Feb 2019 00:51:07 +0000 Staysfit 2007061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SarahD8, I like both outfits, but I really like your jewelry. I love the personal touch because you made this, and the pieces coordinate but do not match identically. I find it more interesting when jewelry is personal like this, it really speaks to a person's style and personality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-day-2-old-menew-me#post-2007050 Wed, 27 Feb 2019 00:27:56 +0000 April 2007050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Old or new -- both look terrific.&nbsp; Loving that cozy scarf in our frigid winter temps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-day-2-old-menew-me#post-2007048 Wed, 27 Feb 2019 00:15:10 +0000 SarahD8 2007048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's outfit: <br /> 1) Inside version<br /> 2) Outside version of the same outfit<br /> 3) Details</p> <p>I noticed that my outfit today incorporates both newer and older elements of my style, and thought that was interesting.</p> <p>Aspects of the outfit that reflect long-standing elements of my style, i.e., "Old Me":<br /> -Skinny jeans<br /> -Tall boots<br /> -Scarf<br /> -Me-made jewelry (though the jewelry itself is brand-new, fruits of a craft get-together at a friend's house this weekend. The crystal is my nod to the return of the 90s!)<br /> -Ballet neck/scoop neck top</p> <p>Parts of the outfit that incorporate newer style directions, i.e., "New Me":<br /> -Pullover sweater tunic<br /> -Deliberately chosen, polished looking house shoes<br /> -Tonal color scheme (not that I would never have done this before, just that I am increasingly interested in these combinations) </p>
