I like this idea, to pick a wardrobe item that's been a little tricky and really focus for a week on making them work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-suz-and-carol-next-weeks-wiw-plan#post-462487 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 22:58:01 +0000 Ornella 462487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I am not against scarves godforbid :), I'm just challenging myself to try something else. I already know scarves or necklaces work, but want to explore if there's anything else I'm missing to try. </p> <p>I'm wearing jackets as indoor wear btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-suz-and-carol-next-weeks-wiw-plan#post-462483 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 22:50:23 +0000 Suz 462483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I'm wearing mine as indoor wear but ALSO outdoor wear since it has been so unseasonably warm; in other words, the same jacket is serving both functions. I take it off indoors if and when I get too warm. If the weather turns, I will wear as indoor wear. </p> <p>Like you, I love my jackets and wear them constantly, which is a good discovery for me. For several years I was wearing mostly cardis and just returned to jackets this year, since YLF. And I love jackets so much more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-suz-and-carol-next-weeks-wiw-plan#post-462470 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 22:40:19 +0000 Sveta 462470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, why no scarves? I think to be able to wear a jacket every day of the week and not feel bored with it you should vary te styling. Necklace one day, scarf another, with a dress, with the skirt, with jeans... This is not a real challenge for me as I love my jackets and wear them often to work. I even take an extra challenge to wear a jacket on Saturday!<br /> BTW, are we doing jackets as outerwear or indoor wear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-suz-and-carol-next-weeks-wiw-plan#post-462458 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 22:28:27 +0000 Suz 462458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heheh...I cheated yesterday by wearing my new consignment jacket that I have worn almost every day since purchasing it! So that was easy. (Clearly, I was in dire need of a tweedy jacket! Kellygirl's husband would be appalled at me. <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-repeating-jackets" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ng-jackets</a>) </p> <p>Set myself a challenge this morning. You will see the results in due course. </p> <p>Haven't figured out tomorrow's outfit quite yet. </p> <p>But go without scarves? That is too much, Ornella. I am allowing myself scarves aplenty. I am trying to wear real-life outfits and in our fall weather that's what I really wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-suz-and-carol-next-weeks-wiw-plan#post-462391 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 21:38:55 +0000 Ornella 462391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know how things are going with you ladies, I definitely struggle this week, even with Angie's <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2011/11/07/10-ways-to-liven-up-your-work-wardrobe">excellent post</a> from yesterday which was full of great tips.</p> <p>This may be partly because I'm steering away from very obvious options too often, like turtlenecks worn under the jackets - that would be easy way out. Or too many scarves. Or button-downs (too officey!). Or just wearing the same jacket(s) again and again. </p> <p>Things are not helped by the additional obstacle - sudden spell of cold weather.</p> <p>I've also already come to the conclusion that I need to work on my smart casual wardrobe more and really step things up in that department. I feel like I'm beginning to define my style all over again again - dressy bit is sorted, but casual... baby steps.</p> <p>Having said that, the whole process of coming up with what I'll wear never stops being fun, it's the thinking outside the box that I love best.</p> <p>2 down, 3 more to go </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-suz-and-carol-next-weeks-wiw-plan#post-460825 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 02:06:44 +0000 Suz 460825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, Sveta, please do join! </p> <p>Mine will be work-at-home, MOTG outfits wearing jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-suz-and-carol-next-weeks-wiw-plan#post-460724 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 00:54:28 +0000 Sveta 460724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jackets? Every day of the week? Do I have enough? &lt;frantically searching in the closet&gt;... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-suz-and-carol-next-weeks-wiw-plan#post-460681 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:20:04 +0000 Amy 460681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May I play along too? I'm such an interloper ;)</p> <p>I'm only in the office 3 days a week, but may try to figure out some casual outfits using the jackets I have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-suz-and-carol-next-weeks-wiw-plan#post-460678 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 23:16:54 +0000 lyn* 460678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh; I may join in for this - I don't usually wear jackets. Wonder how that would change my style to abandon cardi's for an entire week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-suz-and-carol-next-weeks-wiw-plan#post-460659 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 22:35:43 +0000 Suz 460659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella, thank you! I will play along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-suz-and-carol-next-weeks-wiw-plan#post-460615 Sun, 06 Nov 2011 21:18:32 +0000 Ornella 460615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you've asked, here is how it works :)</p> <p>What: My next week's theme is jackets.</p> <p>Where: All my outfits are planned for work.</p> <p>Why: It's getting colder, I need extra layers and I want to see how the get the most out of my jackets.</p> <p>How: I'm using 5 different jackets from my wardrobe, all suitable as indoor toppers (i.e no leather jacket at the desk, boo). All styles are distinctively different either in cut, texture or color. The idea is that wearing them for a day each will help me really get in tune with them and will provide more inspiration for additional styling ideas.</p> <p>Who (not necessarily in this order): casual olive zipper jacket, black blazer, tweed blazer, navy-ish Chanel-style jacket, burgundy 3/4 sleeve cropped denim jacket. </p>
