It works with both navy and black, so no problems there.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would definitely have pegged jeans in blue and possibly black as essentials for you, as well as knit tops in black or navy. You often choose a statement bag, jacket, or shoe but the look is anchored on the base layer.&nbsp;</p> <p>And you always look fab!!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-for-2019#post-1998053 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 16:50:47 +0000 karen13 1998053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your essentials- many of them would be on my list too, although my denim is solidly bootcut or wider. I applaud that you are stylish even when working from home - that may be one of my 2019 aspirations. Too many days I neve4 make it out of ratty loungewear. I always enjoy your stylings and look forward to a fashionable year from you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-for-2019#post-1998021 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 15:15:53 +0000 Angie 1998021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A fab description and reflection of your current style,<b> Lisa</b>. I'm high fiving you on matching bra and knicker sets, lots of knitwear, boots, and preferring dark blue to black.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have two pairs of skinny jeans and I never wear them. I've demoted them to trails and hikes in Utah.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-for-2019#post-1998013 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 15:00:59 +0000 Anonymous 1998013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You always have the best statement pieces, and I love seeing how you style them. &nbsp;I know my jeans need tweaking and updating ; i'll be looking to you for inspiration . I'm still into straights and skinnies too, but in summer will be open to other looks. &nbsp;I wore high waisted wide/r leg crops the other day and they just didn't feel very striking . Maybe they weren't wide enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-for-2019#post-1998003 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 14:07:31 +0000 RobinF 1998003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great list. I love jeans too but only get to wear them on Fridays and weekends. Although I guess that's almost half the week! I do find skinnies still the easiest to wear with my boots and booties. I also wear and love sweaters but like them hip length. I'd love to see some of your cropped cardi-camisole looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-for-2019#post-1997938 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 06:25:59 +0000 rachylou 1997938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cropped cardigans: what a great idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/essentials-for-2019#post-1997924 Fri, 01 Feb 2019 02:38:12 +0000 Helena 1997924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha I love black too ...

But the recent discussion of essentials has given me to wonder: do I have a baseline?</p> <p>I've decided that yes, I do:</p> <p><b>Jeans and more jeans</b>: While I have been slow to abandon skinny jeans entirely, I'm constantly tweaking my jeans selection in terms of rise, shape and wash, moving a little wider but not shapeless. Mostly I am into blues and blacks.</p> <p><b>Knitwear</b>: I wear a sweater most days, unless it's summer time. I have a wide rainbow of sweaters, including both crewnecks and cardigans. I am preferring shorter to cropped lengths, or tucked in thinner knits, rather than wearing them out at hip length.</p> <p><b>Booties</b>: the most heavily represented type of shoe for me. Lots of colors, ranging from refined to the black and white combats I'm favoring for dead of winter.</p> <p><b>Lingerie</b>: always matching sets.</p> <p><b>Out and about</b>: I work from home, so this is where I fit in my statement pieces. I looove fancy coats and blazers. And I've had a bit of a resurgence in dresses and skirts.</p> <p><b>What am I predicting for 2019</b>:&nbsp;I'm particularly on a kick for cropped cardigans with silk camisoles lately, either with jeans or with skirts. I also like intarsia knits with slogan phrases. I had decided a while ago that, neutrals-wise, I was going to abandon black in favor of navy, which looks better on me. However, I am finding a lot of black creeping back into my wardrobe lately, as well as a bit of camel, and it's not bad at all.</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>ETA - some finds</p> </p>
