It really feels great to have a handle on where I am and where I'm headed. Before my closet evaluation I was actually thinking of getting another pair of bootcuts, but now I know that's not where to spend my $$.</p> <p>I also discovered that:</p> <p>* my much-loved wine/plum dress has seen better days and needs to be replaced<br /> * I need a drapey/more voluminous top to go with my gold/black dressy pencil skirt<br /> * I might need another pair of black cigarette pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-closet-evaluationinitial-discoveries-and-observations#post-710225 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 20:10:18 +0000 harmonica 710225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really inspiring! You've done a great review and are starting the new season with such insight </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-closet-evaluationinitial-discoveries-and-observations#post-710190 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:41:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 710190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great review of your style - sounds like you're ready for the new season! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-closet-evaluationinitial-discoveries-and-observations#post-710161 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:45:57 +0000 jayne 710161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is wonderful an so inspiring...Let'see, all I have so far is that I love a structured trouser with a looser top. And I love a blazer, with skinnies or looooooose trousers. Opposites top an botton apparently. I will come back with more in say....3 months...but I think I like the pencil skirt with turteneck sweater but I have only tried it once last winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-closet-evaluationinitial-discoveries-and-observations#post-710132 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:42:25 +0000 Gaylene 710132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isn't it nice when you can start articulating what you want from your wardrobe. It always makes me feel so empowered when I can actually see where I want to go and how my style is evolving.</p> <p>Good work, Nancy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-closet-evaluationinitial-discoveries-and-observations#post-710106 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 16:18:24 +0000 Suz 710106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great thoughts, Nancy, and they are consistent with your more recent WIWs.

These thoughts will stand you good stead as you head into the season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fallwinter-closet-evaluationinitial-discoveries-and-observations#post-710078 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 15:29:08 +0000 nancylee 710078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I managed to go through my closet and take a good hard look at what I have for fall/winter, try on a whole bunch of combinations, and think about how some of my more recent purchases (like my VC midi skirts) can transition to the new season. And it was interesting! Here's what I learned:</p> <p>* I am definitely going through a style transition toward a more sleek/arty/sophisticated look</p> <p>* I'm LOVING the voluminous top over fitted bottom silhouette</p> <p>* I'm LOVING skinnies, cigarette pants, slim midi skirts, and booties</p> <p>* I'm feeling less love for my bootcuts and knee-length skirts</p> <p>* If I wear bootcuts, they have to be balanced by some structured or fitted top</p> <p>* If I wear volume on top, it has to be balanced by a slim/fitted bottom (OR possibly by bootcuts worn with heels; in other words: no volume on top with bootcuts and flats)</p> <p>* I'm still loving dresses, jackets, scarves, tall boots, and flats</p> <p>* I'm still loving neutrals more than color (especially in cooler weather)</p> <p>* I'm feeling the love for simpler jewelry (one necklace instead of the multiples I used to prefer)</p> <p>* I have a FABULOUS shoe/boot/booties collection and really don't need any more!</p> <p>It's so fascinating how my taste is shifting toward the midi/skinny pant silhouette after proclaiming myself such an avowed lover of bootcuts/70's looks. Don't get me wrong, I still love my bootcuts. Bootcuts + jacket/fitted top + boots + scarf is and probably always will be one of my signature go-to looks for cool weather.....but I am definitely feeling the love for more modern silhouettes. And I have YLF and Angie's gentle guidance to thank for it! </p> <p>More later...... </p>
