That's exactly it, I do much better in a soft white or bone color so the snake boots harmonize better for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2009355 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 21:04:53 +0000 Anonymous 2009355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have great style. The outfit with the pink scarf is my favorite. Snake booties are a fine stand in for white ones unless you want a crisp look and wear lots of optic white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2009342 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 20:13:55 +0000 ChristelJ 2009342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kellygirl, those are high compliments! Thank you so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2009273 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 16:53:14 +0000 kellygirl 2009273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I'd wear every one of these. The hand knit is beautiful--I have a soft spot for those. It's perfectly integrated into your casual style. I'd wear every one of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2009207 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 12:44:20 +0000 ChristelJ 2009207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mainelady, so kind of you!</p> <p>Angie, thank you. It's so helpful to know how my choices come across to someone with such an amazing expert eye as yours!</p> <p>I've learned quite a bit this week, and been really lifted up by the kind support. Its also been a wonderful way to get to know others on the forum as they reveal what makes them unique. This challenge was a great idea. </p> <p>Firecracker, thank you for the thoughtful compliments! You should see how many insanely dorky expressions I had in the deleted photos for these. I'm glad you found a method of taking pics that works for you; sounds clever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2009106 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 04:20:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2009106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Christel, I like your earthy, artistic style. The hand-knit scarf is a stand-out piece, and it looks beautiful on you. I like it paired with the drapey cardi. And the red cardigan over graphic tee is a very cool look; I think the booties really sharpen the outfit and make it very hip. <br /></div><div>I smiled at your comment about taking photos. I tried having DH be my photographer, but hated the way I looked in all the photos, with goofy expressions and stiff poses. I discovered I do better with standing the camera on a railing and using a timer. I'm less nervous! It's still hard, but I can do as many takes as I want. Ha!</div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2009102 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 04:08:35 +0000 Angie 2009102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are ADORABLE, <b>ChristelJ</b>. So natural and relaxed.&nbsp;</p> <p>My word. You were made to wear tones of magenta. The colours in pics #2 and 3 are WOW.&nbsp;</p> <p>Day 4 is a KILLER look. Your best I've seen so far. And the bootcuts in Day 5 are a sublime fit. Perfect with the boots.</p> <p>You did an amazing job with the challenge. WELL DONE.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2009060 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 00:59:47 +0000 Mainelady 2009060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your scarf and and flowy cardigan are beautiful and the colors look so good on you. That is my favorite outfit, however the red sweater and booties are amazing on you. Great style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2009052 Sat, 02 Mar 2019 00:51:09 +0000 ChristelJ 2009052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2009013 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 23:54:06 +0000 Gretchen 2009013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colors on you. The fuschia and the red both light you up. Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2008923 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 21:35:45 +0000 ChristelJ 2008923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Katerina. You have a great eye for detail to notice about the belt grommets and the eyelets in the scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2008919 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 21:31:17 +0000 Katerina 2008919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your style, Christel. These are really fab outfits. I love 2-3, the scarf is very beautiful and in lovely harmony with the flowy cardigan. The belt is really perfect with the scarf - I like how the pattern sort of repeats itself. No 4 is super as well. Cool and on trend. Fab boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2008890 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 20:32:39 +0000 ChristelJ 2008890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the encouraging comments, all you super stylish fabbers!</p> <p> Snake booties turn out to be very versatile, so I'm recommending you succumb to the urge, suntiger and Dreika! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2008855 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 18:52:29 +0000 Dreika 2008855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite is the fuchsia outfit - both the color and the drape are gorgeous. And I’m with Suntiger about the boots - the more I see them the more I want a pair. They look stunning on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2008852 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 18:44:17 +0000 Bonnie 2008852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How nice that your husband will take photos. Mine is hopeless, I find a tripod is much easier to deal with. Your columns of color with colorful sweaters and scarves look lovely.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-challenge-days-3-5#post-2008849 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 18:39:14 +0000 JAileen 2008849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your shawl scarf is lovely, and impressive.

I've never thought much about the individual elements that make my most "me" outfits. I love seeing what others feel most authentic in! Actually can't wait to get back to all your posts!</p> <p>Technically, I missed recording yesterday, so I'm including an outfit from last week that is very typical. That's in photo 1, a cold and blustery day, when I went to an outdoor beer tasting.</p> <p>The "me" in all these is jeans, scarves, booties, tops that are soft. When I wear flares I sometimes now try to show the belt a tiny bit with a semi-tuck. Cardigans are a staple year-round. </p> <p>Photo 2 is a close-up of one of my hand-knit shawls that I wear as a scarf. Photo 3 is oddly foreshortened; my legs are short but not quite that short. My hubby is in training to become my fashion photographer, but neither one of us knows what we are doing! Anyway, I tried the skinnies tucked into the combat boots, but the outfit is mostly about the color and drape up top.</p> <p>Photo 4 is today. My snake booties are the closest I will ever get to the white YLF bootie look. Grey brewery t-shirt and one of my favorite cotton cardigans, which works year-round. I am about to go help hang a youth art show in our local fine arts center. I feel ready! </p> <p>Thanks so much for looking.</p> <p> </p>
