Seems, you had a great style before YLF, too:-)) But, the white suit, doesn't make sense with the black boots..perhaps you were just lazy, to change them:-), but anyway, wearring the suit in this way, it's a bit boring, for me. Please, try the pieces separately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-my-style#post-112000 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 17:17:49 +0000 medusa 112000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SHS, I agree with what others have said. I just want to add that you can wear more color without embracing the whole "multi-layered contrasting colors look". I also tend to be more comfortable in neutrals, but there are lots of ways to add a bit of color with jewelry, shoes, scarves, bags, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-my-style#post-111985 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 16:36:05 +0000 Angie 111985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum, SHS! I have nothing further to add since the gals have said it all and I agree wholeheartedly. I like your confident poses :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-my-style#post-111976 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 15:17:56 +0000 Tricia 111976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the second outfit looks fantastic. I don't think it's underdressed/not polished at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-my-style#post-111970 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 14:54:18 +0000 Secondhand Shopaholic 111970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Thanks everyone for you feedback. You nailed my concerns on Outfit #3 - it's about 10 years old, and it's such a quality suit, I hated letting go of it. But I suspected it showed its age, and your comments helped to confirm that.</p> <p>Also, thanks for those who mentioned the dresses. I was going to post those on YLF next. </p> <p>RoseandJoan - I will definitely check out Susan D's. posts</p> <p>And for everyone, thanks again. I think COLOR is the theme I'm taking away from this... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-my-style#post-111965 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 12:17:21 +0000 RoseandJoan 111965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have similar style to forum member Susan D, I would look up her posts, she is also a fantastic thrifter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-my-style#post-111957 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 09:58:01 +0000 Louise 111957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first outfit is fine perhaps try adding a colored shirt underneath the jacket? A statement brooch?<br /> The second outfit is great though perhaps the skirt is a bit long.<br /> I agree with the others the white suit is a bit dated though the pieces might work seperate and the the trousers need lower shoes x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-my-style#post-111927 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 04:12:00 +0000 Anonymous 111927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like outfit #2 and think it looks both professional and interesting. The pants in outfit #3 look too short for the shoes. It looks like you are wearing heels, so maybe they would work with flats. The whole outfit (#3) looks too big on you to me, especially in the shoulders. You might try breaking up the suit pieces. The white pants could be worn with the blazer in Outfit 1 and maybe add the belt from #2 over the blazer. Speaking of Outfit #1, try rolling the sleeves to 3/4 length on that blazer to show the lining. A scarf or man's tie could be used to add color and interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-my-style#post-111926 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 04:02:03 +0000 marianna 111926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your wardrobe just needs to be a bit updated! The white suit looks dated to me. Like Queenie, I noticed you have some great dresses in your photostream. The shorter length on those is great on you! The prints are modern and more graphic and more on trend. It's a good look for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-my-style#post-111917 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 03:28:13 +0000 Queen Mum 111917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read your comment under outfit 2- I don't see it as unprofessional and unpolished AT ALL! I'm no expert though on workplace fashion but I thought that outfit was quite polished and sophisticated.<br /> also, you have some great dresses there in your photostream. Are they new? </p> <p>I do have one word for you.... COLOR! I noticed in all your outfits, you have kept to alot of neutrals. A pop of color could really wake up those outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-my-style#post-111912 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 02:58:43 +0000 Queen Mum 111912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that second outfit on you!<br /> the white suit isn't doing anything for me.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finding-my-style#post-111911 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 02:50:30 +0000 Secondhand Shopaholic 111911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello! I have been following YLF for just a month or so. I'm trying to pick up some things that I like (i.e. belts, scarves, tights) but I'm feeling kind of schizophrenic. My style is classic simple and understated (I think), and I'm not so sure I want to go trendy and bold. I'm not into the multi-layered contrasting colors look, but I'll admit I there are probably some tweaks like I can start experimenting with.</p> <p>Outfit 1 is my current style.<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44383234@N08/4199066950/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....199066950/</a></p> <p>Outfit 2 is me trying to achieve a YLF look. The belt is something new for me.<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44383234@N08/4199066110/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....199066110/</a></p> <p>Outfit 3 is one I think I just really need a second opinion as to whether or not I should hang onto it. Can the right accessories liven it up?<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44383234@N08/4199104998/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/4.....199104998/</a> </p>
