That’s a really good idea and something I will do for sure! Thank you so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-2/page/2#post-1983716 Mon, 17 Dec 2018 22:27:14 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 1983716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of great advice here for you Molly.&nbsp; I agree with others in taking it a bit slow, get a few basics and then experiment with different looks and style as you go along.&nbsp; Its a fun and exciting process.&nbsp; I might also suggest looking at thrift stores for different types of dresses, skirts and blouses.&nbsp; My dear daughter (16) and her friends love "thrifting" as they call it.&nbsp; &nbsp;It allows one to play around with different cuts, looks, fabric etc without breaking the bank.&nbsp; When you hit on a look you really like then you can invest in store bought items that reflect the look.&nbsp; Just a suggestion.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-2/page/2#post-1983691 Mon, 17 Dec 2018 21:26:09 +0000 Molly 1983691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok thank your cindy and April! I will do that for sure especially because I have no idea what my aesthetic is or my style is yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-2/page/2#post-1983682 Mon, 17 Dec 2018 21:15:16 +0000 April 1983682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, yes.&nbsp; Welcome to the part of the world where people who have never met or seen you and know nothing about your life like to list the things you "must have."</p> <p>Take it with a grain of salt and be glad there are people like Angie who realize that one list doesn't fit all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-2/page/2#post-1983679 Mon, 17 Dec 2018 21:08:00 +0000 cindysmith 1983679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe I'm about to do this, because I normally HATE HATE HATE them, but try googling "must have basics for women". I am NOT suggesting you go out and buy the things on that list, because those items may not work for you. </p> <p>Like, white button up shirt is soooooo not for me, because white washes me out, buttons gap over my bewbs, and the arms are always too tight no matter how much I size up. Black blazer? Great pencil skirt? I do not have a blazer &amp; skirt kind of life, and black is harsh against my pale skin. So I have to think about the function these recommendations serve in a wardrobe. I have a black moto style jacket that serves as a "complete" piece that makes jeans &amp; a tank top look a bit more pulled together. A button up shirt becomes a fairly basic knit top for me, because it can go with lots of things. </p> <p>So reading those lists can kind of give you an idea of some basic foundational pieces to use as a starting point to build a wardrobe.</p> <p>Now I'm going to give a suggestion that is useful in a more concrete way. Go to the blog portion of this forum. Angie is pretty freaking amazing at her job as a stylist, and she shares a lot of her knowledge for free in that blog. She watches trends, then she makes posts that interpret those trends for a very wide variety of people regardless of budget, size, shape, aesthetic/style persona. While you're at it, read about style personas here on this site, because giving myself a style persona has helped me shop more effectively. If I'm out shopping, I know to avoid certain types of items because they don't fit the style I want to project. i.e. argyle is very preppy or classic, and I am neither; so no matter how much I love to LOOK at a brightly colored argyle, I shouldn't buy it because it doesn't fit my personal aesthetic.</p> <p>Final note: don't feel like you have to define your aesthetic right away. Even Angie, with her very well defined aesthetic, has evolving tastes. Experimentation is good, even for people who think they have their style figured out, and I see a lot of that on this forum. So don't feel pressured to define yourself or your aesthetic, we're very ok with uncertainty and evolution here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-2/page/2#post-1983649 Mon, 17 Dec 2018 18:52:45 +0000 Molly 1983649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I redid them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-2/page/2#post-1983542 Mon, 17 Dec 2018 14:45:48 +0000 Anonymous 1983542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What happened to your pale green pedicure? .

The red skirt can be paired with a traditional blouse, a fun tee and a leather jacket or an oversized sweatshirt. Change up the shoes to dress up /down each combo.</p> <p>What about underthings? Bralettes are super if you don’t have much up top but still want feminine underthings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-2#post-1983294 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 22:35:17 +0000 Molly 1983294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks that’s Mickey!!! And yea those jeans are insane comfortable too. Never had a pair that comfy before! Do the jeans look ok on me? Obviously I don’t have a female shape yet. So I wonder if they look bad? And the red skirt I think is my favorite thing I got today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-2#post-1983293 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 22:18:23 +0000 Style Fan 1983293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the red skirt.&nbsp; And jeans are a must.&nbsp; Well, of course, I would say that.&nbsp; I love jeans. &nbsp; Your doggie is very cute.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-2#post-1983257 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 20:58:26 +0000 Alicewonderland 1983257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What you have so far looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-2#post-1983255 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 20:49:26 +0000 jill58 1983255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are in the fantastic position of building a whole new wardrobe and you've definitely come to the right place.

And yea I’m not really buying much today, I got some jeans and a couple skirts so far </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-2#post-1983225 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 19:47:29 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1983225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Rachylou’s questions are worth some time thinking over before your shopping spree. This site and others like it are full of stories of buying lots of things that regrettably don’t work for the owner. When you step out, you want the confidence of knowing you look great. </p> <p>That’s not to say you shouldn’t go to the mall today. I think you should—but mostly to try things on, until you have a feeling for how you like the way different things fit you. Maybe get a couple of really fun things, like a soft, fuzzy sweater and one great outfit, but spend most of your time seeing what you think of the way long skirts, short skirts, midi skirts, pencil-straight skirts, A-line skirts, full skirts, and pleated skirts fit. The same for pants, jackets, etc. If’s work, but I think it will also be fun for you. </p> <p>It’d probably also be worth your while to look at style guidelines for your shape, which I’m going to guess is an inverted triangle or a rectangle. Even if you just look those up in Angie’s archive and read through her blog posts, you’ll have some ideas of where to start with. See how it works for you &amp; go from there. </p> <p>Have fun today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/clothes-2#post-1983220 Sun, 16 Dec 2018 19:26:55 +0000 Molly 1983220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol yes that I know for sure!
