In fact, he listens to a lot of the 70s-80s-90s stuff I listened to, with some new stuff thrown in. I could listen to his playlist all day, still!</p> <p><b>JAileen,&nbsp;</b>ironically (and when they're not in a drought), LA averages about an inch more of rain/year than here. The wet/dry seasons are &nbsp;inverted, though, and of course, no snow.</p> <p>Thank, <b>TraceyLiz</b>!

Even though you won’t need warm clothes after your move, hopefully anything you add will work in your new climate. It does rain there sometimes, doesn’t it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-planning-2018/page/2#post-1952050 Wed, 29 Aug 2018 17:56:12 +0000 Anonymous 1952050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re: “half an hour earlier on Thursday nights”</p> <p>Lol!

However when I listen to it now it seems so dark and bleak!<br /> Jenn I’m sure your style will continue to be as sophisticated as ever in your new climate.

I clearly remember wearing a houndstooth miniskirt jumper (the American version...an overall dress) with a long-sleeve baby tee and Doc Martens mary janes for my employee photo at the publisher I worked for. I could have stepped right off the set of Friends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-planning-2018#post-1951782 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 16:34:02 +0000 Angie 1951782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenn </b>and<b> Lisa p</b>, I did not like most of the fashion in the '90s - but I LOVE the music. We live a few streets away from where Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornel jammed with Kurt Cobain. We also live close to wear Kurt took his life. It's both magical and sad.&nbsp;</p> <p>I liked the early '90s, the Seattle grunge look my way, and the colourful suits I wore as a retail buyer - but that was it. My worst fashion moments are in the '90s, and my worst year of style was 1995 when I wore black from head to toe with dark lipstick and dark nail polish for an entire year. I looked like I was in mourning. It was beyond awful for my complexion and persona. Very inauthentic.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-planning-2018#post-1951778 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 16:12:36 +0000 Jenn 1951778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get it, Lisa. As a young teenager, some of the 80s looks were aspirational for me, and the early 90s have great associations with my college years. I have no fondness, really, for the things I wore in my early working career in the mid-late-90s. At all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-planning-2018#post-1951776 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 16:04:51 +0000 Anonymous 1951776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always enjoy reading your thoughts, Jenn, and this is no exception. &nbsp;It will be interesting to see how your purchases change with your move west....and if it impacts your overall look. &nbsp;I just can't with the 80's /90's influences, but that's because I was already a (supposedly) working adult at that time and wore this stuff . Not my best years , lol. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-planning-2018#post-1951774 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 15:48:55 +0000 Jenn 1951774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Finally able to sit down and answer everyone. Thank you all for adding your thoughts and helping me refine these ideas.</p> <p><b>Sterling,&nbsp;</b>we'll see how this plays out. I am going to be in your shoes soon, living in a warm climate with a weakness for ski chalet chic.</p> <p><b>Becky,&nbsp;</b>I am usually not much of an impulse shopper, but on the rare occasion that I fall in love with something immediately, I also don't hesitate to buy it. It's <b>Angie</b>'s "organized emotional" strategy.</p> <p><b>La Pedestrienne,&nbsp;</b>same here with the leopard/tartan. I love the look of it with the classic red print that rachylou is wearing, but I cringe a bit at the thought of wearing that color myself. I might try it with a more muted version.</p> <p><b>shevia,&nbsp;</b>some of the runway pics look like 80s/90s silhouettes with 70s colors. Fun!</p> <p><b>Joy,&nbsp;</b>I have always felt more myself in urban settings. Seattle and Denver are the homes of my heart, despite growing up in the rural Midwest. It remains to be seen how LA will figure into that lineup.</p> <p><b>rachylou,&nbsp;</b>you have the leopard and tartan AND Angie's leopard and light blue. Max maximalism!</p> <p><b>Style Fan,&nbsp;</b>I'm a tough fit in jackets, so I'm not holding my breath. It'll have to be both a great fit and light enough that I think it'd work at least a few months out of the year in SoCal.</p> <p><b>JenniNZ,&nbsp;</b>ditto on the older and fatter. Also thirty years more mature, though. I was young in the 80s (graduated from HS in '91) and loved Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan and Ally Sheedy in Breakfast Club. I would look ridiculous dressing like either of them now, but I can find elements I still love--rocker black, big hair, red lipstick, oversized sweaters, sneakers with skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-planning-2018#post-1951748 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 13:45:03 +0000 Angie 1951748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenn</b>, Samouflage.</p> <p><b>Rachy</b>, HAH. LOVE. Our styles have collided. FUN :)</p> <p><b>Shevia</b>, thank you. (((HUGS))).</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, I was craving it too.

But how do I do 80s again when I'm 30 years older and 25 kg fatter? I can't do 90s , spent most of them in leggings being pregnant or breastfeeding it feels like in my memories </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-planning-2018#post-1951697 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 09:08:26 +0000 Style Fan 1951697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy!&nbsp; Very fab.</p> <p>Love your planning Jenn.&nbsp; I can see leopard working well in your wardrobe.&nbsp; I hope your jacket from Boden works out.&nbsp; I hear you on the subtle nod to the trends. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-planning-2018#post-1951677 Tue, 28 Aug 2018 05:49:07 +0000 rachylou 1951677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wait!
