Maybe FL finally ate it up completely. And yes, it is a challenge to keep your closet from bursting when you need as many sandals as boots.  But it helps you to be disciplined.  Besides, moving a lot of clothes, over and over is a drag.  (says the gal packing 3 pair of boots to bring back to CA this weekend) Susie, that was very sweet.  Thank you. texstyle on "From sand to snow to sand to snow to sand - the Mo way" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/from-sand-to-snow-to-sand-to-snow-to-sand---the-mo-way#post-1199920 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:10:15 +0000 texstyle 1199920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous then and Gorgeous now - but I do see a more stylish beauty in the latter pics.

(Are you sure that's not a Giant Peach?  Perhaps that's in Georgia?)

You just look like a happy, well-adjusted, naturally radiant person. I don't see a radical style shift; just a more refined, deliberate look, if that makes sense.

You looked lovely before, but it's neat to what how you've grown since YLF.

And I totally understand the dilemma. I think you've done a great job to resolve it. You look great in all the pics, but your style sense is more apparent now.  Mo on "From sand to snow to sand to snow to sand - the Mo way" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/from-sand-to-snow-to-sand-to-snow-to-sand---the-mo-way#post-1199423 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 23:18:13 +0000 Mo 1199423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sara, I appreciate that, as finding a common aesthetic between two opposing climates is harder than you might imagine.  When I sat down to figure my style rubric it was enlightening to try and find the similarities between sandals with sundresses and boots with sweaters. I just grabbed a quick shot from each year from about 2006 alternating FL, CA, FL.  I suppose I could take more time to find the 'best' representation from each year, but that's more work than I'm up for right now lol!  And Deb, I like that pic, too, but it makes me long for my 39 yr old face ha ha ha.  Suffice to say, food and wine make me very very happy.  Sara L. on "From sand to snow to sand to snow to sand - the Mo way" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/from-sand-to-snow-to-sand-to-snow-to-sand---the-mo-way#post-1199418 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 23:13:02 +0000 Sara L. 1199418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think your style has evolved into a more cohesive wardrobe.  The pre-YLF outfits look fine but they're all so different.  Now I see more of a pattern, a defined aesthetic (hope that makes sense).

You always look great, but I agree with Caro that your post-YLF pics are a bit more...clear, somehow, very focused in your minimal but casual style. deb on "From sand to snow to sand to snow to sand - the Mo way" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/from-sand-to-snow-to-sand-to-snow-to-sand---the-mo-way#post-1199384 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 22:42:47 +0000 deb 1199384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your picture in #5.

Lol, Celia, good memory.  Best picture spot of any house I've lived in since!  It's right up the street and I passed it today - lots of movement like a remodel going on.  rachylou on "From sand to snow to sand to snow to sand - the Mo way" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/from-sand-to-snow-to-sand-to-snow-to-sand---the-mo-way#post-1199344 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 22:04:05 +0000 rachylou 1199344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love love love #7. How could I have missed it? #10 is also very me. But really all your outfits are good, old and new. celia on "From sand to snow to sand to snow to sand - the Mo way" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/from-sand-to-snow-to-sand-to-snow-to-sand---the-mo-way#post-1199343 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 22:04:00 +0000 celia 1199343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the title , it matches the giant orange :) You fine tuned your style and made casual look hyper-fabulous.  ETA: I remember that kitchen Anonymous on "From sand to snow to sand to snow to sand - the Mo way" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/from-sand-to-snow-to-sand-to-snow-to-sand---the-mo-way#post-1199335 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 21:57:42 +0000 Anonymous 1199335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your style went through the roof since joining YLF you look great.
