Hm... to be a work of art, isn't that an idiom that could have negative connotations? I'd much rather wear a work of art, then </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2077225 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 23:29:20 +0000 The Cat 2077225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... How about showing your husband that O.W. quote? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2077224 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 23:28:08 +0000 The Cat 2077224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Synne, I came to think of you again today when I saw this blog post (including a thought-provoking Oscar Wilde quote) at insideoutstyleblog.com: <a href="https://insideoutstyleblog.com/2019/11/be-a-work-of-art-oscar-wilde.html" rel="nofollow">https://insideoutstyleblog.com.....wilde.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2077177 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 18:01:44 +0000 cindysmith 2077177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your response is brilliant and I'm totally stealing it. I've had many outfits that people didn't understand, and it doesn't always work to tell people that I'm just prepared for the zombie apocalypse; sometimes, I'm just weird LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2077053 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 03:29:52 +0000 Kate 2077053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your response! No in-house style consultant in our house. We have 4 fashionably indifferent felines (who have no respect for delicate fibers either) and my DH only notices clothes in their absence! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2077051 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 03:15:56 +0000 Angie 2077051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH :)</p> <p>Excellent dialogue, and <b>The Cat </b>is dead right!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2077041 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 02:02:10 +0000 Jaime 2077041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, DH has very consistent taste and no matter how long between wears he will reliably comment on the same items. DD2 is paying the most attention, DD1 and DS don't usually notice. Agree with the art analogy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2077037 Wed, 13 Nov 2019 01:29:05 +0000 JAileen 2077037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband has evolved a lot in his taste in clothes. Once, I asked him what he thought about my outfit which contained four different patterns, and he liked it. &nbsp;That never would have happened a decade or two ago.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2077006 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 22:41:53 +0000 Marilyn 2077006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>LOL&nbsp; Good story!</div><div><br /></div><div>I wouldn't even bother to ask my husband. :)&nbsp; There&nbsp; WAS one time when I was wearing a graphic printed pant.&nbsp; We were heading out to an event and he said, "you're changing before we go?".&nbsp; I said no and was met with a blank stare.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2076999 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 21:56:00 +0000 Cardiff girl 2076999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband,bless him,isn’t the most reliable of style gurus but my teenage daughter is very good but the she has had a great teacher!(tee,hee) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2076998 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 21:50:00 +0000 rachylou 2076998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol. No, I only have an audience </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2076966 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 20:22:57 +0000 Synne 2076966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Kathie. Some just seem to naturally have an eye for those things. Others need years and years of practice (including my self). How lucky for you to have this expertise on hand! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2076963 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 20:18:49 +0000 Synne 2076963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you The Cat! Isn't it true? Style and clothes as art. Maybe others skew more classic and rennaisance, than abstract modern :-D</p> <p>Exactly suntiger. I am finding style a great way to express my creative side. I don't always succeed, though. A continuously work of art in progress.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2076962 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 20:18:42 +0000 Kathie 2076962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the conversation! My younger DS is my in-house style consultant. Which is pretty funny, given that his own choices for clothing are tees paired with shorts or track pants. But, he has a great eye for color and traditionally flattering shapes. Usually when I'm on the fence about something he can quickly verbalize what the problem is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2076959 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 20:13:06 +0000 Synne 2076959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah, slim cat, YLF is of tremendous help! I also follow fashion bloggers and IG personalities, but nothing beats seeing the behind the scenes, frank and honest reviews and feedback, often unfuzzy and down to earth real styling. How normal people wear their everyday clothes to achieve great style.<br /> I can't rely to much on my coworkers either. I have noticed it is a bad sign when they say nothing at all, ha ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2076955 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 20:09:41 +0000 Anonymous 2076955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had that discussion w DH- re: fashion week vs daily wear. I told him fashion week is intended to be art, supposed to make you think, but not necessarily intended for visual harmony. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2076954 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 20:04:02 +0000 slim cat 2076954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My daughter is the one that gives a fun feedback plus couple of her friends. My ex was all for traditional sexy things - tight jeans, black lace, short flirty skirts.. Currently YLF is the biggest help - looking at other ladies' outfits, reading blog, being part of discussion. Girls at my work go more in direction "it's cute" to almost anything ( occupational hazard ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2076952 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 20:03:36 +0000 The Cat 2076952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I know Angie has two ... ;-)</p> <p>By the way, I like your reply. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/its-like-modern-art#post-2076946 Tue, 12 Nov 2019 19:48:56 +0000 Synne 2076946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just have to share a style related funny conversation I had with DH the other day. I was trying on one of my many slightly daring outfit combinations, and asked for his opinion.<br /> He stared blankly at me and answered: "I do not understand this outfit".<br /> "It's like modern art! You don't have to understand it, just tell me if you like it or not!"<br /> We both had to laugh after that. </p> <p>Maybe you also have resident style consultants? Are they of any help? </p>
