Never looked better :)</p> <p>#12 = KILLER to the Power of KILLER</p> <p></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2299235 Sun, 01 Jan 2023 17:41:17 +0000 cjh 2299235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As to moniker modification, to me the word sophisticated comes to mind. Maybe sophisticated instead of elegant. The word practical is kind of hum-drum, probably unnecessary in anyone’s moniker. Classic doesn’t exactly reflect the way the clothes really meld with your modern personality and body image.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2299172 Sun, 01 Jan 2023 05:34:13 +0000 MsMaven 2299172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've enjoyed watching your style evolve. My favorite outfits are #3--a wonderful dressy combination that looks comfortable and unfussy. I like #8 too. That jacket is great on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298915 Fri, 30 Dec 2022 18:24:43 +0000 Jenn 2298915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your collection of winter berets makes me happy. I think you had a quite successful year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298904 Fri, 30 Dec 2022 17:55:22 +0000 Sal 2298904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see your fashion year as very successful despite your lack of planning. Maybe it’s because of that- leaning into the emotional.</p> <p>When I looked at the photos two things stood out- your hair as an accessory or statement (up, straight or curly) and the number of looks featuring hats. I love hats and you wear them with aplomb. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298582 Wed, 28 Dec 2022 19:58:05 +0000 Lucy 2298582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You project a relaxed elegance in every outfit, and the fits are spot on!

I can also see how well those classics are really working for you.</p> <p>Paying particular attention to fit is a great idea, and something I'm going to concentrate on myself. With all these oversized garments in vogue recently, its easy to get caught up with this trend but it may not be the best look for everyone. Your recent purchase of the Mango fitted overcoat is a great demonstration of this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298532 Wed, 28 Dec 2022 12:02:00 +0000 Olive Green 2298532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bright orange was my surprise wardrobe accent colour, its been amazingly useful in accessories and a couple of tshirts and a sweatshirt.&nbsp;<br />Funny, I don’t see Tomboy in your style.

The green leather pants and the sparkly tops (#3 and#5) are my favorites! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298497 Wed, 28 Dec 2022 02:33:26 +0000 Carla 2298497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Nikki - same colours, but would like to put the breaks on navy and black, and possibly add more green (hunter) and possibly bright orange. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298483 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 23:57:07 +0000 Anonymous 2298483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your 2022 color palette! Are you keeping the same colors next year? Seems like you are adding a brighter red along with the brick red.

Hi our non plan worked like a charm. </p> <p>My favourites are 3 and 9. I am a total sucker for your hair in curly mode - to my eye it adds extra elegance and ease to every look!!!</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing what 2023 brings to your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298442 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 18:00:19 +0000 kkards 2298442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well i'm glad i wasn't the only one who didn't have a goal/strategy/plan for this year. unlike you have ever, my year looks like it, and yours is remarkably cohesive and thought-out.<br />i love all of these outfits, but if i had to pick favorites,<br />&nbsp;#3 because it just feels so like you, but is so elegant and elevated. often, IMO it seems like when people do "fancy" they end up with outfits that don't seem to fit their everyday style. you've created a look that feels authentic and fancy<br />&nbsp;#10 because its just so fashion influencer on trend.&nbsp;<br />#2 because its layering done perfectly, and shows how great basics and neutrals can be&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298419 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 16:54:24 +0000 Roberta 2298419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Rachylou said - classic but not conservative! The green leather pants and the red boots are standouts to my eye. They elevate the outfit without dragging focus away from YOU.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298416 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 16:42:52 +0000 Anonymous 2298416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Carla, you have a wonderful varied wardrobe. &nbsp; My favorite outfits are #3 and #10, &nbsp;But I love the green pants and red too. &nbsp;You have done well working on adding texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298413 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 16:27:14 +0000 rachylou 2298413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classic but not necessarily conservative - the green leather pants are bold in the best way. Colour looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298412 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 16:27:09 +0000 Suz 2298412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a terrific summary, <b>Carla</b>. For all your sense that you added mainly neutral, replacement essentials in classic cuts, the statement-type pieces you did add packed a <b>huge</b> wallop, so they were extremely well chosen. You clearly had fun with them and they revivified your style and set you on the path toward the year ahead. I love your winter/ summer green pants (the pleather and the linen), the sandals, your new suit (of course!!) and your new coat in particular. As others have said, #3 is a WOW look, but I also love the last one, with your coat.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm really interested in your numbers. I've just re-embarked on a period of tracking wears, after not having done so for a long time, and already it's proved productive to me. I can see more clearly what I'm choosing and what I'm neglecting and can ask myself some more refined questions about my actual needs in this new climate/ lifestyle.&nbsp;</p> <p>I did set goals last year, but my goals were extremely vague. I think that spoke to the state I was in, when I set them, but it also affected my sense of being a bit at sea with fashion over the course of the year. Figuring out a new moniker and/or descriptive words really seems to have helped me feel prepared to move forward with my style. I'll bet something similar happens for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298409 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 16:20:09 +0000 Anonymous 2298409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're outfits are always so elegant! I think of your style as elevated classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298398 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 15:44:36 +0000 Minaminu 2298398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting summary and nice to see the variety of length in the trousers and how you are including different textures to add interest to any outfit.<br />Would be interested to see what colour you will be adding to your palette, I can see a&nbsp;light neutral being a nice addition! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298380 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 13:51:36 +0000 Irina 2298380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting read, thanks, Carla. I love your style! For me, it’s a best combination of classics with casual garments. The result is “calm, cool and collected “ look, the opposite of fussy. I’m always surprised of your tomboy monicker, I would probably call you ‘a French girl” based on your style, body type and loose hair : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298378 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 13:29:38 +0000 LJP 2298378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style is so consistent , unique and identifiable as "you". &nbsp;The attention to fit is clear here and all of these outfits are just fab. Like others above - #3 is just wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298375 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 10:38:53 +0000 pirouette 2298375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All the outfits are lovely but 3 is just so simple and elegant really beautiful and I love your hair tied up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298374 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 10:20:49 +0000 Synne 2298374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent collection! And #3 is just WOW!<br /> I see you mention classic and conservative, but to me this style is full of drama! I have mentioned vintage French vibes, but I also see low-key glamourous, playful elegance. Intellectual Diva Next Door.<br /> So fun to follow your style journey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-reflections-2022#post-2298373 Tue, 27 Dec 2022 08:59:45 +0000 Chiara 2298373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also loving outfit 3, and the feel of outfit 10.
