I think of blue as my fallback for when I don’t have any ideas, but after that compliment, I should try highlighting it more often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205865 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 15:54:44 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2205865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great looks!</p> <p>I know you love your berry colors, but after seeing #1-4, I am *dying* to see you in more ocean mermaid colors.&nbsp; &nbsp;That seafoam color is divine with your eyes and hair!&nbsp; &nbsp;I would love to see how aqua blues and greens, and turquoises work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205863 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 15:46:00 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2205863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn67, thanks! I think my maximalist tendencies can steal the spotlight, so I appreciate my simpler outfits being noticed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205796 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 10:13:15 +0000 lyn67 2205796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these all work well&nbsp; for you- some with your boho/hippie vibes (we all have them-especially in summer!:-)) and some with your more sleeker, minimal -classic vibes (first and last look). You did a great job here and looking put together and fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205725 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 23:34:01 +0000 Angie 2205725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had me with '70s looks! And the boho part of the decade sounds dead right for you. I bet you looked and felt fab :)</p> <p>Yes, I had a great visit with my Dad and brother, thanks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205694 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 21:40:24 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2205694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, what a delight to have you comment with all the catching up you have to do! Your comments are so encouraging and upbeat—thank you. I was surprised at the effect of the fringed top under the jacket buttoned up. I liked it, didn’t know if anyone else would. How cool to get a KxK! Looking back just a few days later, I have to laugh at the matching bandage &amp; top with my shorts. A week before this post (just as you were leaving) I did a WIW with a week of 70s looks. Hope you had a good visit with your dad and that settling back in is easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205613 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 18:45:16 +0000 Angie 2205613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i> “clirty” (half clean, half dirty)</i></p> <p>I was wondering what "clirty" meant.

It looks authentic, effortless, fun, flattering, comfy, relaxed yet pulled together, and attractive. Milk it. </p> <p>#7 = KILLER to the Power of KILLER. One of your very best!

I’m surprised at how much I’m mixing in neutrals this summer, like the beige with the red pants and the cream-colored blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205163 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 06:41:20 +0000 Sally 2205163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really suit slim fitting pants so the first two (the interview outfit), the colourful pants and short outfit would be my favourites.&nbsp; lovely mix of colours.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205156 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 05:00:36 +0000 Sloper 2205156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I remember my comment.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205063 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 21:52:36 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2205063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cat2, looking forward to your bluesy posts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205058 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 21:31:33 +0000 cat2 2205058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I think for July I am going to wear all the blues. I have cool blue pieces I bought for work when those blues were ubiquitous, and I just don’t reach for them. Time to pair them with something warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205052 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 19:52:36 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2205052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sloper. I hadn’t thought of a poet shirt, will have to think about that for a bit, but you’ll recall you also said something about a slim top to go with those pants. The blouse in 12-16 here is the same one I had on with them last week. Interesting idea to go high contrast with a black bra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205050 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 19:43:21 +0000 Sloper 2205050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like all the outfits!</p> <p>Especially the burgundy sweater (#12-15), and that neckline is so flattering.&nbsp; Maybe a try a true flesh-tone bra, or go really contrast with black, in case a bit peeps out?</p> <p>#5-8 fringe outfit is great too!</p> <p>I'm thinking untucked is better for the outfit in 10-11, unless you try something like a white poet blouse - think I mentioned this before, more volume on top of the narrower pants. But you are working very well with what you have in your closet now!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205045 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 19:31:06 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2205045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s fun to see everyone’s personality and preferences in different picks for most/least favorite! </p> <p>SlimCat, thanks for the comment. I’m always glad to hear from people whose impulses run skew to my own. When I hit a note that satisfies us both, it’s great. But yeah, restraint isn’t quite me I’m mystified how you can find something fun but also dislike it. Just to be clear—Bijou gets credit for the pants+shoes, but is not to blame for the guitar strap, textured top with fringe, or leopard print. Those are on me! </p> <p>Kellygirl, thanks! Your own style is playful and makes *me* smile. </p> <p>Thanks Rachylou! Mo’ blue, mo’ better? </p> <p>Katerina, my fellow maximalist, thanks for stopping by! The belt was a self-tie from a gorgeous sateen cotton 2-piece dress, with full skirt that fell way below my knees and fitted long-sleeved bodice. The subletter who stole the dress left this piece behind. I still love the colors and patterns, so always want to wear it. I said the bit about dark moody summer out loud, so now I have to do it Want to join me? </p> <p>Helena, do you mind gentle teasing? That comment reminds me of the funny faux letter of recommendation:<br /> <i>I most enthusiastically recommend this candidate with no qualifications whatsoever.<br /> I can assure you that no person would be better for the job.<br /> Her true ability was deceiving.<br /> You would indeed be fortunate to get this person to work for you.<br /> All in all, I cannot say enough good things about this candidate or recommend him too highly.<br /> I would urge you to waste no time in making this candidate an offer of employment.</i><br /> I’m going to assume the positive interpretation is correct. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2205031 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 18:48:11 +0000 Helena 2205031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what - I'm just going to echo the overall theme that the best part of all of these is that I can tell you FEEL great in your clothes! What else is there, really? Mission accomplished! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204999 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 17:38:55 +0000 Katerina 2204999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FashIntern, you have never looked better! You seem to have so much fun with fashion these days, so nice to see! You look fantastic. I love 1-4, in particular when you added the accessories. The scarf worn as a belt is a great. The color is so pretty on you. Another favorite is 17-18, very chic and modern to my eye. I also like the fun mix and layering in 6-7. I can’t wait for what you come up with next week with the moody darks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204981 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 16:05:02 +0000 rachylou 2204981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked them all - 10/11 untucked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204971 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 15:48:42 +0000 kellygirl 2204971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great! Boho, playful and relaxed summer outfits that can't help but make me smile. SO pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204961 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 14:35:20 +0000 slim cat 2204961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-4, 5 and #12-15, #16 &nbsp;look great on you ( that what I would call more "restrained outfits" with more solid colors in play, limiting printed pieces or ones with different texture ). The midi skirt in #12-15 with solid blouse and with cardi and tank top in #16 are very pretty on you.<br />#6-7 is a bit too maximal to my eye - abundance of prints and textures&nbsp;<br />( fun look anyway ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204944 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 13:51:31 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2204944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, to me, the wide legs of those red pants, top to bottom, already makes them high volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204940 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 13:26:04 +0000 Irina 2204940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI, your wider top in #5-8 is sleeveless and fitted at neckline. Your can try to wear over volume bottoms, it would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204939 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 13:18:25 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2204939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Irina! I see that the top I was pairing with the skirt fits none of those criteria. It is moving towards swimsuit cover-up status. I usually think of the skirt as the kind of flowing piece that still reveals form, but it sure didn’t work that way here! It probably is too “soft”. </p> <p>Hi Synne! I think you were posting just as I was mentioning you as the other queen of V-over-V. The pants in 10-11 are the ones that used to be joggers, until I took out the elastic (in this post <a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-about-now" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-about-now</a> ). They are still trying to get their groove in my wardrobe. I have one more idea for them, will try it in the moody dark summer week. If that’s a fail, I’ll have to do a workshop with them. Thanks for the compliments on styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204934 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:59:31 +0000 Irina 2204934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI, if it helps, here are my rules for v-over-v. I have only a few and use one or another, sometimes all in one top.<br />- slim sleeves (or sleeveless)&nbsp;<br />- fitted neckline<br />- wide but cropped </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204931 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:33:28 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2204931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Irina, thanks for the tips on V-over-V! You are a queen of this look, and I was thinking I need to go through your WIWs before my next attempt. (Synne’s too). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204930 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:31:57 +0000 Synne 2204930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Irina! Wow, you are glowing these days! It would be interesting to analyze why 10/11 doesn't work as well as the others. Maybe because it skews a litte dated? I know you keep and wear clothes for a long time, really impressively great styling on some of these!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204929 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:29:01 +0000 Irina 2204929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With an exception of #10 &amp; 11, I love all outfits in the first batch. Probably, some of the best I’ve seen on you. You look great!<br />Volume on volume is hard. Your outfit needs more structure, both garments are too “soft”, in my opinion. The top could be worn with other bottoms that you have like shorts and jeans and will look fab.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204925 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:08:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2204925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outtakes: remixes that didn’t work, just for a laugh </p> <p>1 Volume-on-volume is hard!<br /> 2 Breaking up this dress works, technically, but just feels wrong! I tried various tops, not all white, with the skirt, and put the top on with jeans, but eventually chose to keep the pieces together forever &amp; not worry if it seems boring.<br /> 3 Thanks to wiw pix, I saw that the pink bra isn’t close enough to my skin color to work here. I changed into a different one. </p> <p>ETA sounds like I should move 10-11 from the original post to here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clirty-remixes#post-2204923 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 12:05:12 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2204923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these items have been on here recently. That’s intentional. It’s my own little remix challenge, sort of a backwards 10x3, where I chose things by wearing them instead of picking items ahead of time. I wear things more than once before I wash them. I usually have a row of hooks or a rack to put things that are “clirty” (half clean, half dirty) on while they wait. In theory, I wear something, leave it there, wear it again, and wash it. In practice, I tend to move on to other pieces and leave stuff on the rack. First it’s a little capsule, which is fine, but then clothes start piling up around the rack, in the bathroom, next to the bed…. Eventually it’s too much and I have to restore order. This week I tried a different way to manage that before things got too extreme. I only dressed from that capsule, no adding to the collection, and then put things in the laundry. I’m thinking of making this my regular last-week-of-the-month practice. </p> <p>My rules were simple: only wear things I’d already worn recently (leaning towards items I’ve posted), mix them in different combos than before. Clear the da** rack &amp; start the next month fresh. </p> <p>Photos<br /> 1-4 Flagrantly broke the rules I just laid out, for a job interview. Thanks again to everyone who helped me prepare! Thank goodness the clothes hamper, my bare feet, &amp; the crap under the desk didn’t show on the screen! Added accessories to schlepp off to my appt at the secondhand shop, and ate a sloppy quesadilla for lunch after danger of interviewing with the menu on my front was past.<br /> Lands End no-iron shirt<br /> G-Star jeans (via Yoox)<br /> K-Swiss tennis shoes<br /> Desigual backpack</p> <p>5-9 Does the wine match my outfit? Credit for pairing these shoes &amp; pants goes to Bijou, who suggested the combo. Gotta love an outfit with pockets too! </p> <p>10-11 To tuck or not to tuck? My answer, on the Indian restaurant on a boat. With temps in the 90s, silk pants &amp; a linen (jersey) top felt right.<br /> Paige pants </p> <p>12-16 to a doctor’s appointment, in a building with a hall of mirrors in the lobby, in the middle of the day. Blouse is lower cut than I usually wear. I exaggerated the effect for the close-ups, but the edges of my bra probably did peek out sometimes, so I chose one in a color that worked with the outfit. It seemed ok to me; what do you think? Our heat wave is clearly over, so for an evening errand, I used the blouse as a jacket over a sleeveless, lightweight sweater.<br /> Maeve blouse<br /> Stella McCartney bra<br /> 24 Colours skirt</p> <p>17-18 a dressier top than I usually wear for hanging out at home, but 100% cotton lawn is remarkably comfy. With the decorative (not itchy!) front, I feel no need for jewelry, etc. even if I go out later.<br /> Lauren top<br /> Kut from the Kloth shorts</p> <p>I’ve had fun this month with theme weeks of the 70s and summer brights. Next week I’m going to try moody dark summer, (no ditzy prints), just to see if I can. Anybody care to join me? </p>
