But I found out during our strangely unusually cold winter, that lined wool trousers are warmer than jeans. So I have been putting together casual outfits with dressy trousers. That's kind of fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1885698 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 13:57:50 +0000 unfrumped 1885698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m scrutinizing my outfit silhouettes , trying to be more picky, and also thinking how to move my color palette to softer colors when possible.<br /> So no specific items of trends as yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1885688 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 12:29:40 +0000 Staysfit 1885688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been winterizing my summer dresses in whatever way I can. Sometimes I use colorful tights and a jacket or cardigan, sometimes jeans. Sometimes I wear a long sleeve turtleneck or crew neck top underneath, because most of my dresses are sleeveless. This has provided some fun variety for me each week. I love my summer dresses, so wearing them in the winter makes me happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1885684 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 11:36:39 +0000 Anonymous 1885684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suzanimal</b> -- I'd like to learn about&nbsp;proportions, patterns, and colors along with you. &nbsp;I have read insideoutstyle but forget about it until I read your post. &nbsp;Thank you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1885677 Sat, 03 Feb 2018 10:48:59 +0000 Suzanimal 1885677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm uninspired, as well. Right now, I'm learning about proportions, patterns, and colors. I'm trying to figure out how to add more color and patterns in my wardrobe but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what I like that I'll actually wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>This blog has a lot of info on that kind of stuff. <br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://insideoutstyleblog.com/">https://insideoutstyleblog.com</a></p> <p>I'm also working on weeding out and organizing my clothes and accessories. And, while I'm at it, making a detailed list of things I need to fill holes in my wardrobe. I've also been going through my shoes and making sure they're all polished and properly fitting. My feet are a touch wide (not wide enough for wide with, though) and I learned a nifty shoe stretching technique. Put a baggie with water in your shoe and put your shoe in the freezer. As the water freezes and expands, it stretches your shoe. My husband and sons will be glad when this is over because I think they're worried my shoes have officially taken over the house, lol. My DH informed me that if I've resorted to storing shoes in the freezer, I may need professional help. :)</p> <p>I've also been catching up on my tailoring and cleaning and trying to figure out a good way to store my handbag collection. I have them on the top shelf in my closet and it's not working. I haven't decided if I want to move them or if I want to buy a rolling step stool. I change handbags frequently and they don't make it back up on that shelf until my closet looks like a disaster. I've figured out that it's because I can't reach the shelf (duh!) and the folding step stool is a pain in the keister to fetch from the garage. I'm considering leaving the purses on the high shelf and getting a rolling step stool that doesn't fold. I just need to measure and make sure it's going to be tall enough.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1885584 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 23:03:01 +0000 cindysmith 1885584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm kind of torn right now. When I go browsing/window shopping, I'm drawn to minimalist looks. Some of my recent impulse purchases have been very simple tops. When I go to actually put clothes on in the morning or after a hard day, I gravitate towards the wide leg bottom and simple top (a la COS). Maybe because that kind of look feels very elegant and/or leisurely to me, and I'm wanting to hibernate?<br /> But when I am reaching for something to wear to work on our house we're building or when I have to get dressed for my job, I'm reaching for things that read tactical and the words "filthy and outta control" are my inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1885394 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 14:23:18 +0000 Zibbets 1885394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is there anything in the back of your closet you love but haven't worn yet this winter? </p> <p>Angie's sweatshirt/pencil skirt combo made me remember a really fun piece I've been "saving" for an "occasion" or warmer weather, but now I'm inspired to figure out a way to wear it asap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1885389 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 14:15:40 +0000 always trying 1885389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The emails from nordstroms are making me think spring-a pair of floral straight leg pants&nbsp; are looking very interesting.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1885362 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 11:08:12 +0000 Gigi 1885362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right now I've been looking at pics of French Chic for a style reboot. I usually wear boho-ish stuff, but I feel like toning the boho down and doing something a little more elegant. </p> <p>The pieces of a French Chic core wardrobe are very simple, but it takes a while to find exactly the right cut for your shape and your personality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1885334 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 08:12:17 +0000 rachylou 1885334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the closet pic I can find... but I keep seeing these tweedy suits with bomber style jackets, and I love this look. A suit but not so uptight... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1885324 Fri, 02 Feb 2018 06:27:11 +0000 Anonymous 1885324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Add a new color that you like. Start slowly, maybe just some accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1884708 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 20:24:55 +0000 Sal 1884708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked the blogger featured today - the only other fashion/style blogs I dip into are-&nbsp;</p> <p>Stylingyou.com.au - Nikki has lots of smart casual ideas for a hot climate (she is based in Brisbane).&nbsp; I can get some of the labels easily here.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>doesmybumlook40 - Kat is funny.&nbsp; Her style is changing a bit - quite maximal.&nbsp; I follow her on instagram too.</p> <p>Last winter I enjoyed a couple of late winter refreshers that perked up my wardrobe - some knee high boots and some flared jeans. I also loved having a crazy faux fur coat and silver shoes to wear with basic black pants and jeans during the dreary months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1884649 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 18:03:46 +0000 Angie 1884649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should participate in the challenges that are on YLF forum at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/business-casualsmart-casual---what-are-your-inspirations-right-now#post-1884648 Wed, 31 Jan 2018 18:00:42 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1884648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it's the midwinter blues, but I am booooored with dressing right now. Any new bloggers, brands, styles, ideas that are firing your neurons? </p>
