So glad to see your WIWs; I can't wait to see where you go next! (drooling at the idea of purging those "ill-fitting jeans and sweaters") </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772992 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 23:16:33 +0000 rute 772992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi!!

I really like your color choices here and the jacket is super-cool.This is a nice casual outfit.<br /> I am sure you will have great fun stretching your style muscles here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772751 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 20:50:27 +0000 CocoLion 772751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your scarf and the way you've wrapped it just so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772748 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 20:48:38 +0000 Kristin L 772748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your outfit looks great chickie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772740 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 20:45:31 +0000 Atlantia 772740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the suggestions. I do think a striped top would be nice, so maybe I should start looking for one.<br /> As far as change...I gained about 60 pounds several years ago after my divorce, and am now in a really good place in my life and starting to take better care of myself. Long term boyfriend, new apartment, new car, down 12 pounds. So it seems like a time to change. I've been hiding in ill fitting jeans and sweaters for long time, and I'm ready for people to take notice of me again.<br /> I've added a couple better photos so you can see details of the jacket and scarf better.<br /> You've all made me feel so fab today! More WIW in the future for sure!</p> <p>#1 - details of military style jacket, white watch, pink zebra scarf<br /> #2 - how I wore it when outside<br /> #3 - how I looked inside....I run so warm, I bat for Team Magma! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772560 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:17:11 +0000 Ingunn 772560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your scarf! The rest is very pretty too.

I love that posted usual garb... and you look great. Hip and modern.</p> <p>But so... what kind of changes are you looking towards? New job, graduation, anything like that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772550 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:08:07 +0000 Suz 772550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! You look terrific in those colours, and this is a very good casual outfit for the kind of day you describe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772464 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 17:01:33 +0000 JR 772464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing to be ashamed of there. I agree that a striped top would be great with this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772453 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 16:53:36 +0000 Raisin 772453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a little dark to see all the detail, but it's definitely a good looking outfit. Love the added color with the scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772444 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 16:40:33 +0000 harmonica 772444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome and congrats on your first wiw! I love the scarf and bag towards the neutral dark outfit. Accessorizing is so smart in so many ways! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772429 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 16:31:33 +0000 N-Marie 772429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a niceoutfit- I love how the colorful scarf "pops" against the darker outfit. Welcome to WIWs - a bit-nerve-wracking for sure but also super-useful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772377 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 15:41:37 +0000 modgrl 772377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi and welcome! Nothing wrong with your "before" shot. Love your cons+jeans+scarf+contrasting bag look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772375 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 15:39:02 +0000 Beth Ann 772375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How now to see you! You know, add a striped top, and you have the makings of the formula highlighted in Angie's post today! Love the cons on you, and agree with Ceit that booties would be a great choice, too, particularly for colder weather.</p> <p>The pink is marvelous with you lovely high-contrast coloring -- fair complexion and rich dark hair. You have beautiful, balanced features and the color highlights them wonderfully. The military jacket is a great, on trend finish to the outfit.</p> <p>Keep posting WIW --- it gets easier and it's the fastest way to moving forward in your "style journey." </p> <p>Look forward to seeing more of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772326 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 14:47:15 +0000 Anonymous 772326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the wondrous world of WIWs. I love the scarf, the colour looks great on you, and it looks very versatile. I can't see the details of the jacket too much, but it looks like a military tunic or utility style?</p> <p>I think this is a perfectly serviceable running around outfit. I would suggest you get a pair of booties to try swapping the cons out for, and that might start you with a different look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-wiw-10#post-772324 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 14:44:32 +0000 Atlantia 772324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Getting the car checked then lunch with dad...this is how I usually look, so let's call this my YLF 'before' shot. Apologies for the poor quality, I wanted to snap this and get it up before I lost my nerve. High time I started posting some WIW and getting some input, right?</p> <p>All items are incredibly ancient, except the scarf and bag, which were finds on my trip to the UK this summer. Give me all the help you can, I'm ready for some big changes!</p> <p>ETA: if a better picture will help, I'll get my Dad to snap one at lunch and update later. </p>
