Thank you Emily.  I have been working on my wardrobe for a few years.  It has been my retirement project. Emily K on "Essentials (Revised)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-1#post-1787697 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 22:06:11 +0000 Emily K 1787697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think I could view this assortment of clothing and know that it belongs to you--there is a cohesive palette and point of view.  Really well done, I think! kerry on "Essentials (Revised)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-1#post-1787680 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 21:35:44 +0000 kerry 1787680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like how you came back to revise your essentials after feedback. Your colour palette is so cohesive. Is there any colour you eliminate for winter or summer? I think I'm going to keep burgundy for FW and maybe white for SS.

Suz on "Essentials (Revised)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-1#post-1787426 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 13:35:12 +0000 Suz 1787426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh -- I am now all hung up about your lost earring!! Can you have the artisan make another? This happened to me once with my favourite earrings and I did get a new one made!!  Your list is excellent! I agree with Angie that the text needed a bit more refinement but I could see it in the photos.  Style Fan on "Essentials (Revised)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-1#post-1787356 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 09:27:35 +0000 Style Fan 1787356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you Bonnie. Angie I will do some more work on my list later today.  I see what you mean.  No surprise that I am a visual person.  I would rather do diagrams.  I will try to add my leather jacket to finds.  I wondered about my Jesse Kamm pants but I thought cotton chino type pants would be essentials.  Earrings will go out.  And the cuff.  I will take that out. Thank you JAileen.  I lost one of my square amber earrings about a year ago but I am in denial.  Sob. :( Rachy If I wear anything outside of my normal brown T shirt and straight legged blue jean it is a statement!    rachylou on "Essentials (Revised)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-1#post-1787307 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 03:05:03 +0000 rachylou 1787307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ok. Now I find it interesting that your new pants are statements when I'm thinking you were thinking they classify as Essentials. Is it the cut? If they were my pants, would they be statements too? I'm wondering if to make a statement I need to wear my owl tiara all the time, hehe! JAileen on "Essentials (Revised)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-1#post-1787292 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 02:17:37 +0000 JAileen 1787292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love looking at your finds. The colors are so beautifully cohesive. Beauiful earrings. Angie on "Essentials (Revised)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-1#post-1787281 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 01:30:51 +0000 Angie 1787281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WELL DONE. You did a stellar job, Style Fan. I'm impressed. Some of the categories need a little refinement - which is easy because VISUALLY with the Finds, you've shown the specific detail. It's just not reflected in the text. For example, linen pants, cotton pants, cardigans - define the silhouettes and colours. Same with Winter boots. You can make Birkies an essential. Trench coat is not a statement, but your leather jacket might be (I don't see it here).  Your new Jess Kamm pants are a statement! Earrings probably too.  Again, very nicely done. I'm proud of you.  Bonnie on "Essentials (Revised)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-1#post-1787273 Tue, 14 Mar 2017 01:17:49 +0000 Bonnie 1787273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your list seems perfect to me.
