I bought the navy striped BR sweater as well and love it. I got it in black, too. At 60, my cashmere sweaters now make me incredibly itchy. Damned aging skin! So, I'm happy for the soft cotton and silk blend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-review-and-wiw#post-2354274 Sun, 03 Mar 2024 08:21:41 +0000 harmonica 2354274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I agree with the others on the pink sweater. Gives a nice glow to your face. I love the effortless style in your last outfit (#7). Good decision to return the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-review-and-wiw#post-2354259 Sun, 03 Mar 2024 02:51:58 +0000 Jaime 2354259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look better than ever, so going with the flow clearly suits you!

Great new striped sweater, too.* edited to answer?<br /> I have been sick for more than 2 weeks, so have not worn much beyond leggings and ts lately but prior, I wore 3 sweaters, one jacket, one mesh top over a tank, one pair joggers and one pair jeans, in February.<br /> 3 shoes: 1 loafer, 1 sneaker, 1 bootie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-review-and-wiw#post-2354178 Sat, 02 Mar 2024 00:26:26 +0000 Carla 2354178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kudos for returning the boots that didn’t score high enough on the happiness scale. &nbsp;It seems to take so much courage/effort to make the return, rather than let things sit around - only to end up donated as a ‘NWT’ item.</p> <p>That raspberry sweater is a real winner. &nbsp;Not only the colour, but the style of it and the texture. &nbsp;Great piece that hauls a sartorial load. &nbsp;Big YAY! For more colour.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I wore 7 different tops (6 sweaters, 1 flannel button down) and 6 different bottoms (4 different jeans styles, 1 jogger, 1 pleather). &nbsp;Of course all the usual puffers (4) and wool coats (2). &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-review-and-wiw#post-2354172 Fri, 01 Mar 2024 21:52:12 +0000 Suz 2354172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent report in all ways. It sounds as if you are feeling comfortable and happy with your style and your approach! Brava!&nbsp; Good for your, for returning the boots, and for keeping your eye out for taupe sneakers. Ecco has a new sneaker, supposedly limited edition, called Soft 60, that comes in a dark taupe. I tried it on and it was too wide for me, without adjustment (maybe another insole? I wasn't sure, but my heel was slipping out) but it might be worth investigating.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-review-and-wiw#post-2354170 Fri, 01 Mar 2024 21:40:45 +0000 Indigoprint 2354170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are hard on your self regarding legging outfits that you share.They do not seem "lounge wear" to me, but comfy well appointed outfits.<br /> Along the lines of comfy what do you think of track pants? They seem to be having a moment now. I thrifted a pair and have found them super comfy and surprisingly versatile.<br /> I do feel a bit of an imposter as I do not have a sporty bone in my body, but I am having fun playing with them with what I have in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-review-and-wiw#post-2354166 Fri, 01 Mar 2024 20:07:16 +0000 Star (Lise) 2354166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the navy striped sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-review-and-wiw#post-2354161 Fri, 01 Mar 2024 18:54:58 +0000 Helena 2354161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone!</p> <p>Angie, I completely agree about the sweatshirt - I need to add that to my list too; thanks for the reminder!

I especially like the raspberry pink sweater. Quite cheerful. And the navy turtleneck over the striped shirt looks great, too- casual, cozy and with the fun touch of stripes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-review-and-wiw#post-2354149 Fri, 01 Mar 2024 17:07:58 +0000 Helena 2354149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, just a quick post to share what went on with me style-wise in February!</p> <p>I did track for *most* of the month. Unsurprisingly to me, I wore a lot more pieces in Feburary than I did in gloomy January (my self-declared month of unapologetic lounge- and active-wear to combat the cold). <b>The learning from this is to ditch the guilt and go with the flow</b>. A month of leggings is not going to mean I will forgo jeans forever! Wearing sweats half the month still leaves half a month for something more casually-elevated. My total number of items worn this year sits at about 48. This includes clothing, jackets, shoes and handbags.&nbsp;</p> <p>With weird weather and spring-like spells, I was <b>feeling more colour</b> and in fact I don't think I reached for a black top once this month (!!). One or two outfits failed me; I think because I was remixing items that I don't normally wear together - turns out there was a reason for that But mostly felt good, appropriate, comfortable and polished. A few examples attached.&nbsp;</p> <p>My <b>low-buy efforts</b> continue! I ended up <b>returning the Blondo boots</b> I had purchased because they simply sat for too long with me not being excited to wear them. They were organized, but not emotional, if that makes sense! For the odd time I really want a taupe boot (e.g. photo 1), I have been able to make my less-comfy disappointing Blondos suitably wearable with the help of some strategic inserts. The main issue was the hard toebox so a little padding makes a big difference. Plus, the minute the weather allows it, I'm straight into sneakers so I have taupe ones on my wishlist. </p> <p>I did <b>purchase a new navy striped sweater</b> from Banana Republic that I absolutely love and have already worn multiple times. It's a great piece that feels a little springy but is still warm for chilly temps.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also purchased my <b>wedding outfit</b>, which I am not totally counting as a regular purchase - this might be cheating but this is a rare occasion to celebrate a very, very close friend so I felt something new and nice was important, although I could have put something together out of my closet if I'd needed to. I will also use this for my son's high school grad in June, with somewhat different styling, in order to get more wears. I also think the pants in particular will get a lot of casual wear once the wedding is done, so I'm hoping this won't be too wasteful a purchase.&nbsp;</p> <p>For <b>March</b>, I have a couple of wishlist items that I will look for during our upcoming trip to the US for March Break. <b>White shorts, a denim shirt of some sort, and taupe sneakers</b> will be on my radar!</p> <p>Thanks for looking! What did you wear in February? </p>
