And you are likely to wear the orphans more often now that you’ve figured out current styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-challenge-old-friends-and-new-acquaintances#post-2380054 Mon, 10 Feb 2025 02:15:08 +0000 Bijou 2380054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these outfits, the fit of the vest is swoon-worthy.</p> <p>I love the idea of a cricket sweater, the sporty and yet almost dressy vibe of them appeals to me. I really like the neckline on yours, a definite v but not too wide or too deep and slouchy without being overwhelming. I'm glad that you love it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-challenge-old-friends-and-new-acquaintances#post-2380052 Sun, 09 Feb 2025 22:27:32 +0000 Sal 2380052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both awesome looks.</p> <p>It has been fun seeing your mojo return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-challenge-old-friends-and-new-acquaintances#post-2380051 Sun, 09 Feb 2025 21:52:06 +0000 Brooklyn 2380051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest outfit is awesome.

The sweater in the second outfit is fantastic also. Two great looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-challenge-old-friends-and-new-acquaintances#post-2380005 Sat, 08 Feb 2025 21:11:33 +0000 Lisa 2380005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great vest and blazer in outfit #1. I adore blazers paired with jeans and did this for many years in business casual settings. It's a classic combination that always looks good. The vest paired with the blazer here adds a lot of visual interest, what a great vest!</p> <p>Glad you took the tags off the sweater in outfit #2, the stripes give it a lot of interesting detail.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your off to a strong start with revisiting your closet orphans for Feb!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-challenge-old-friends-and-new-acquaintances#post-2380003 Sat, 08 Feb 2025 21:05:40 +0000 Suz 2380003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sweater, Kkards -- a great high quality classic item that will work with so much in your closet.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the cute little vest, too!

And the way the black on the jersey matches the stripe of the jeans. These are two great outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-challenge-old-friends-and-new-acquaintances#post-2379998 Sat, 08 Feb 2025 18:37:10 +0000 SarahD8 2379998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! That vest and blazer outfit is to die for!! I'm so glad you decided to wear it.</p> <p>Also I really like your new sweater. Angie said cricket jersey, I saw tennis sweater. I wonder if pieces like this, that are somewhat structured and classic but reference sporting attire, would be interesting to mix with your athleisure pieces? Like it would create a juxtaposition at first glance that is not so much of a juxtaposition if you think through the references? Cheeky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-challenge-old-friends-and-new-acquaintances#post-2379992 Sat, 08 Feb 2025 17:36:15 +0000 Roberta 2379992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The waistcoat is outstanding!

Looks very sharp with those shoes. It is classic and I would also keep it always even if not worn that often.<br /> I really like those sporty sweaters and would love one except v-necks do not work for my climate. Love it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-challenge-old-friends-and-new-acquaintances#post-2379977 Sat, 08 Feb 2025 15:06:12 +0000 Cookie 2379977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest and blazer outfit might be my favorite you have posted to date! I’m really curious why you wouldn’t have worn it before or what it is you were worried someone would think. I also like the double dose of thick stripes in the other outfit. And the 501s continue to be the perfect jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-challenge-old-friends-and-new-acquaintances#post-2379974 Sat, 08 Feb 2025 13:57:19 +0000 kkards 2379974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After my January challenge I set out to revisit closet orphans, items that where under used, or yes, items that had not been worn. My goal was at least once a week my outfit would have at least 1 item from one of these groups. &nbsp;This week I had 2 outfits</p> <p>In the 1st, I used old items that I haven’t worn in a long time, but still like enough to have keeper. The vest was an item I thrifted very early in my item here on YLF. I was (still am) inspired by the thrifting powers of so many fabbers. &nbsp;So it’s probably been in my closet 10ish years, no idea how old it actually is. Worn with a J+ Uniqlo blazer, I think this was from the 1st collection, which google tells me was 2009. &nbsp;Used to wear this blazer a ton when we were business casual, but over time it’s gotten less and less love. But held on to it because it’s great quality. Levi’s 501s and Chelsea boots round out the outfit. Would not have worn this before the January challenge, but that challenge helped me get out of my head, re what will people think, and more on the wear the clothes that make you happy mindset.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>2nd outfit is a sweater that I bought back in early fall that I really like, but for some reason had not worn, so I cut the tags and wore it. &nbsp;I did manage to get a little lunch on my sleeve, so now it’s in the wash. But I wearing it helped me to understand why I bought it, I know that sounds silly, but don’t know how else to word it. &nbsp;I can see this being a piece that’s in my closet for a long time, and that gets lots of love.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for looking. &nbsp;As always all comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated&nbsp;</div> </p>
