I am especially happy that my description of SR's style resonated!<br /><b>Helena</b> - You are absolutely lovely as ever!<br /><b>lyn67</b> - I am just delighted that my description made sense to you (although I had to resist an urge to edit it as I reread it on your post )!<br /><b>Jonesy</b> - Thank you for appreciating and refining what I was trying to say! I am so pleased!<br /><b>Style Fan</b> - Yes, just adding one extra piece of jewelry has been a bit of a&nbsp; revelation to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words/page/2#post-2323240 Wed, 17 May 2023 01:45:50 +0000 Style Fan 2323240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea!&nbsp; I have a minimalistic style and often forget about accessories.&nbsp; I keep wanting to wear more jewellery.&nbsp; I am going to try that as my Extra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words/page/2#post-2323180 Tue, 16 May 2023 17:40:29 +0000 Jonesy 2323180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is an interesting and spot-on analysis of Simone Rocha! I know what you mean about being in a style funk in part due to stressful circumstances and situations beyond your control. Sometimes loungewear is all that can be managed :). But these are beautiful, classic Jaime looks, in my estimation. I think you can definitely handle even more EXTRA, if you want to go there! To me, Simone Rocha is all about the oversized, voluminous, exaggerated silhouette, with the ruffles. But, as you say, the overall look manages to be subversive, not traditionally feminine, because it's so extreme.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words/page/2#post-2323132 Tue, 16 May 2023 14:00:38 +0000 lyn67 2323132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, and why not? Loved you challenged yourself and performed brilliant in all 3 with the extras. I've just looked up on Simone Rocha and now understand what you pointed out about that "s<i>he&nbsp;manages to make a lot of traditionally feminine elements and style them in a way that does not speak to traditionally feminine roles but rather, at least to me, points to a way of dressing that is creative and independent without referring to traditionally masculine pieces". </i>And, fo<i></i>rgive me for that, but I still think your hair is your best Simona Rocha accessory!:-)<i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words/page/2#post-2322975 Mon, 15 May 2023 15:58:33 +0000 Helena 2322975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most definitely not too much ... just the right amount of extra. You look fantastic and wear extra detail beautifully. There are too many pieces here that I love so just giving it a blanket YLF! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words/page/2#post-2322748 Sun, 14 May 2023 01:39:48 +0000 Jaime 2322748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Bijou</b>! If it looks like me it is not too extra!<br /><b>Sally</b> - Thank you! Sometimes one more thing is just the thing.<br /><b>suntiger</b> - Thanks! I hear you.<br /><b>Violet Wilkins </b>- Thanks - I'll check it out.

I'll leave the extra to you- I need to keep everything as simple as possible these days </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words/page/2#post-2322427 Fri, 12 May 2023 09:39:13 +0000 Sally 2322427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok I’ll have to go and look her up too. Your hair is an amazing colour. I hope to get as silvery one day and goes so well with the earrings. You look great . I wouldn’t call myself an extra type generally but maybe I should try and find a way to add a little bit extra to my style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words#post-2322421 Fri, 12 May 2023 09:17:34 +0000 Bijou 2322421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These extra details are seamless with your style - and a lovely way to enjoy those items of jewellery that get worn less.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words#post-2322397 Fri, 12 May 2023 03:14:11 +0000 Jaime 2322397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad my extra idea resonated!<br /><b>Angie</b> - Therapeutic coping! That is just the thing. Thank you so much, for your inspiration and support, style and otherwise!<br /><b>cat2</b> - I think accessorizing is sort of like exercising - practicing makes you stronger.<br /><b>Sharan</b> - Thank you for your lovely compliment. Yes! I was thinking of the inverse of the old take one thing away also. I mean does Coco Chanel really look like she removed one thing in old pictures?<br /><b>Indigoprint</b> -Thank you!<br /><b>Sal</b> - Excellent! Yes, travel is not a good time to start being extra, but I hope to see what you do for the next two weeks.<br /><b>Dee</b> and <b>Nomad</b> - Those are wonderful compliments, thank you!<br /><b>Nikki</b> - Looking forward to seeing your extra!<br /><b>LJP</b> - Yes, Simone Rocha is my muse right now. I will say it takes a bit of time to appreciate her work. I especially appreciate how she combines tulle, pearls, etc. with almost Japanese silhouettes.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words#post-2322363 Thu, 11 May 2023 23:05:50 +0000 Anonymous 2322363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Extra sounds good to me!

And the extra necklace or accessory does not look too much - it just looks fun and styley!</p> <p>My way of being extra - and to join along is to up my accessory game for the next two weeks before I start travelling. I am feeling the shopping itch and trying to fight it - so that’s a good challenge for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words#post-2322340 Thu, 11 May 2023 18:03:02 +0000 Indigoprint 2322340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pearls look good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words#post-2322338 Thu, 11 May 2023 17:09:12 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2322338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>What a fun idea, to add something rather than take one piece away, which has been suggested in the past and which I often have in mind as I dress.</div><div>These are all fantastic looks. You are so gorgeous in that closeup, Jaime. The necklace and earrings, with that dark jacket/shirt neckline, really set off your lovely hair and features.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words#post-2322330 Thu, 11 May 2023 15:59:05 +0000 cat2 2322330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! My word has been ACCESSORIZE because I lost some of that energy during the pandemic. I am really inconsistent in my efforts but have actually managed a belt a few times, a scarf once and intermittently some small earrings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extra-style-extra-words#post-2322317 Thu, 11 May 2023 13:33:34 +0000 Angie 2322317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving the way you are making the word EXTRA, work for you, <b>Jaime</b>!

And your silver jeans definitely count as extra!&nbsp;<br /><b>Brooklyn</b> - what a compliment! I can't wait to see your extra!<br /><b>Sarah</b> - So happy that you connected with what I was trying to say!&nbsp;<br /><b>pirouette</b> - That is an amazing coincidence!<br /><b>rachylou</b> - I can definitely see her in your style.<br /><b>The Cat</b> - Thank you!<br /><b>Sisi</b> - I know how you feel, but really it hardly takes any time to add one more thing .<br /><b>ChristelJ</b> - I think the extra is really anything you would not ordinarily wear even though you have and like it. I am going to try to move more into clothing items.<br /><b>kkards</b> - I hope to see an experiment of yours!<br /><b>UmmLila</b> - Very appreciated!<br /><b>Olive Green </b>- Zest!

Need to think if I own anything that would qualify as extra.&nbsp; </p>
