You have such great long legs (which I don't), so I would imagine those Annie Hall kind of floppy trousers would look amazing on you! </p> <p>When I look at your pictures, I see a very modern, hip woman. To me, you're absolutely going in the right direction. If you're bored, you're probably not having much fun with fashion right now. Maybe take a step back, look at some magazines, search the net for inspiration? Sometimes just going to the mall and trying on different styles you don't ordinarily wear can be fun - no shopping allowed, just playing dress up!</p> <p>And maybe try to put together one outfit that you love, and take note of all the elements and why it works for you. Then maybe build out from there? </p> <p>By the way, I'm talking as if I have the answer -- and I certainly don't! I'm struggling with the same stuff too, if that makes you feel any better! </p> <p>I'm cheering you on, as a fellow Diane Keaton fan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-so-bored#post-323401 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 08:19:57 +0000 Sally 323401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks guys for your boost and suggestion. I bought a waist coat today so that should spice up the outfits.<br /> @Jenava I have been looking for pictures and will scan and post some of the kind of outfits I like.<br /> @AG - Thanks. yeah I suppose I have been dressing that way but up until now it has been quite unintentional. I'd like it to be more deliberate androgonous dressing and more polished.<br /> @Laura.B am on the look out for more blogs of people who dress in a way I inspire to. I have seen some celebrities who pull off a clean cut masculine look....Diane Keaton and Lauren Hutton (well neither are very frilly)<br /> @ Tara..yeah maybe its just life getting in the way. Hopefully I"ll get my mojo back soon too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-so-bored#post-322037 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 01:48:43 +0000 Tara 322037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy, do I know how you feel!<br /> I was on here constantly a few months ago and have since been lurking at the edges.<br /> I have been feeling good in what I wear but like you have been sensing a shift lately.<br /> I just haven't been bothered to post in general or talk about fashion too much.<br /> I gtuess life has just got in the way for me too recently with boyfriend moving away, starting a new job and generally everything changing and shifting in such big ways.</p> <p>I am getting my mojo back now though and enjoying a new move towards a more polished look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-so-bored#post-322012 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 01:07:51 +0000 Laura B. 322012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so sorry to hear you've been feeling sick lately :(<br /> If it helps, I'm definitely a person that learns from examples, so I turn to sites like weardrobe.com (but mostly YLF) where I browse through pictures for inspiration. Most of the people there have their own blogs also so if I find a look I like, I can see exactly how they pull it off!<br /> Maybe posting (or at least photographing) some outfits will yield some helpful suggestions too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-so-bored#post-322006 Mon, 28 Mar 2011 01:01:24 +0000 catgirl 322006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, I think this look would suit you really well and I have seen you pull it off here. The last WIW you posted seemed to be along these lines. I feel your growing pains and hope you will struggle through them here as publicly as I do, so we can all pitch in and help you. ::) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-so-bored#post-321952 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 23:29:57 +0000 Jenava 321952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I get a bee in my bonnet about a certain direction I do two things:<br /> 1. I scour the internet and magazines and shops for outfit inspiration to determine what individual pieces I need to add to create the style<br /> 2. I add at least one piece that is very dramatically pointed in the direction I want to go. This lets me play with it without going too overboard. </p> <p>Like, maybe just add a sharp-shouldered jacket to wear like you're current wearing your blazers? Or a menswear inspired oxford? Or a fedora? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-so-bored#post-321870 Sun, 27 Mar 2011 21:50:34 +0000 Sally 321870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been so bored with clothing style etc lately..so even tho I"ve been watching the forum have not felt like posting..Im trying to spur myself again as I was so enthused before. I think its a lot of factors ...I've been sick a lot lately with minor illnesses...infections and coughs, moving house again so everything is being packed up again and my clothes budget has been cut significantly as Im prioritising what I spend my money on and I"m too busy to go shopping anyway.<br /> I am quite happy with what I wear ( I mean I think I look reasonably turned out each day) in comparison to how I was a year ago. I want my style direction to change and I find myself wanting much more clean lined looks and a far more tailored androgynous look. I am wearing button downs and blazers with my jeans but feel Id like to take that extra step and have a more tailored masculine (yet feminine ) look....kind of like a modern Annie Hall. I am wondering how to do it without looking butch or weird. </p>
