Rae's recent post about the linen tee sent me to Madewell (although I already know and love the brand) - and I have a white linen tee in the basket because of her. But of course I saw that tagline and had to venture in. And I have since been going back every day to visit everything. I'm going to be near a Madewell this weekend so I think I am going to do some trying on. Probably will hold out for some kind of promo before jumping on the vest tho, but I will be checking frequently.</p> <p>Thanks for the support about sticking with a style. I find so many things appealing and interesting but only a narrow band of things interesting FOR ME. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-madewell-or-style-rut#post-1192590 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 18:37:13 +0000 catgirl 1192590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, I just put a whole bunch of those on a wishlist (that leather vest!)... Also drapey linen tees.&nbsp; I too was drawn to that tomboy description.&nbsp; And you know what?&nbsp; I'm good with that - it helps me feel settled in my style that I can identify what I love AND what will work in my closet these days.&nbsp; Go for it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-madewell-or-style-rut#post-1192359 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 14:38:08 +0000 Angie 1192359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go try it on at Madewell. If this is the style sensibility of the next leg of your style journey - run with it. Things that aren't broken, don't need fixing.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-madewell-or-style-rut#post-1192337 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 14:17:43 +0000 gryffin 1192337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva - this is the crux between and signature look.&nbsp; If you love it and feel great it's a signature.&nbsp; This is "you"&nbsp; If you are bored or buying the famiiliar by default it's a rut.&nbsp; Sounds like these things would be loved.&nbsp; If I hear you right, I'm thinking this is your current signature!!&nbsp; Enjoy!&nbsp; PS stunning vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-madewell-or-style-rut#post-1192312 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:42:37 +0000 Jaime 1192312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You certainly deserve the same generous interpretation you gave Rute - it may be that you are just understanding your style better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-madewell-or-style-rut#post-1192300 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:21:28 +0000 viva 1192300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rute, it's so interesting. I saw and commented on your post this morning, and I didn't even make the (obvious) link between your thoughts and my own. What I saw in your post was a positive -- streamlining to a look that feels most like you -- and what I saw in myself was potentially a negative: a lack of creativity. Thanks for reflecting that back to me. Quite enlightening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-madewell-or-style-rut#post-1192290 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:00:06 +0000 Janet 1192290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Ceit. I've been casting the style net fairly wide in recent years, but lately I am pulling back into silhouettes, colors, and styles that I connect with more deeply regardless of trend. I say if it speaks to you, go with it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-madewell-or-style-rut#post-1192287 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:54:42 +0000 rute 1192287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this is so interesting and it's connected to what I've been talking about in my today's post.<br />Ceit said it all. If it's a rut you don't feel weel.<br />I've been living in&nbsp;jeans/pants + white shirt and I'm loving.&nbsp;<br />So if you feel good with it you may have found your signature style&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-madewell-or-style-rut#post-1192282 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:48:35 +0000 Anonymous 1192282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's only a rut if you feel constrained by it. It's super to have a place that gets you, style-wise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-madewell-or-style-rut#post-1192267 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:00:26 +0000 Aquamarine 1192267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you bored with your style? Do you want to move in another direction? If these pieces speak to you, I wouldn't call it a rut. If anything, I think you have a well-defined style that suits you, Viva. You own your look. </p> <p>I find these musings fascinating, and will be following along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-madewell-or-style-rut#post-1192266 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 12:00:22 +0000 Deborah 1192266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it all depends on how YOU feel about it. More of the same is more than ok if it's what you want and it makes you happy. I am finding I am becoming more narrow in terms of what I wear and for me that's hopefully a sign of a more defined style, and that makes me happy and is a true reflection of me:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/falling-for-madewell-or-style-rut#post-1192263 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 11:50:36 +0000 viva 1192263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Madewell's new spring line has a tagline: Cool. Sexy. Tomboy. And so many of the pieces really, really speak to me. I adore the beachy/on the road/laidback vibe and the potential also to use some of the pieces in more dressed up killer ways (that leather vest!). </p> <p>But part of me wonders if this is all just more of the same for me -- and if it is, if that is okay? Where is the line between embracing your style on the one hand, and feeling uninventive on the other?</p> <p> </p>
