Period. 818101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even though I think most of those look great (other than the Vince sweater, which seems to be choking you), I vote for sell all. If you aren't in love with them anymore, then why hold on to them? I noticed that your question wasn't "I love these, but I'm not thinking of fresh ways to style them." It was "should these go?" They should go. </p> <p>BTW, love the styling of grey and orange. I'm blonde like you, so I love grey. It took me a really long time to realize how great grey looks with orange, lighter greens and yellow. Your mix of grey and orange looks fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817934 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:42:31 +0000 Mochi 817934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have skipped over the comments. I'm probably the total outlier, but I like the orange leather trousers (their color is great on you too), and everything else seems like it can go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817930 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:41:14 +0000 Niefern 817930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I would keep #1 (blouse) and #3 (dress)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817765 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 10:48:41 +0000 rute 817765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i vote seel everything except 2, that blouse is gorgeous and black and white is really trendy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817745 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 07:34:28 +0000 ManidipaM 817745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #5 look like hard work to style --- unless you have longer tunics or dresses that work under #1 already. I'd vote sell on them.</p> <p>If you can find a way to work them without heels, I'd keep the pants (#4) --- despite the colour, they should be easy to partner on top, and the fabrication adds fun.</p> <p>#2 and #3 seem easy, flattering and useful. So sell only if you're sick of the silhouettes and/or patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817717 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 05:53:31 +0000 Mia 817717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pants and would like to see them styled simply to let them take centre stage.<br /> I also like the cropped sweater on you and wonder if you could layer a dress under or a skirt. If it's in great shape I wouldn't let go yet. </p> <p>I am against the grain here but I am not crazy about the blouse. Sell dress and mini.</p> <p>Did I say I loved the pants?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817705 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 05:20:43 +0000 rae 817705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep #2!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817558 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 01:35:05 +0000 Janet 817558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not reading the other responses first to try to keep from being influenced.</p> <p>1 I'm wondering if styling in a different way with a longer layer underneath and some of your fab pants would save this. I like it.<br /> 2 and 3 Keep *if* you have use for them. They're more classic than your usual style but I like them on you, and lately your style seems to be softening -- when spring comes, might you want these?<br /> 4 Keep if you can make them work with your current lower-heeled shoe situation. I realize the cropped length makes it tricky.<br /> 5 Sell </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817556 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 01:33:23 +0000 ironkurtin 817556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sell all of it.</p> <p>I LOVE that fur purse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817537 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 01:15:59 +0000 Angie 817537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote sell everything but the cropped leather pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817535 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 01:07:38 +0000 Anonymous 817535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sell, keep, keep, sell, keep and no to the mutilation of the DVF blouse. I would buy it from you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817512 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 00:32:45 +0000 Anonymous 817512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if you would get more useful feedback by posting keep/sell items without the brand names? That way you'd get our feedback without our "designer goggles" on. Just a thought. Or maybe I'm the only one with designer goggles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817506 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 00:23:59 +0000 Nanabear 817506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My 2 cents:</p> <p>1: Sell<br /> 2: Keep<br /> 3: It's nice and quite summery, keep if you like.<br /> 4: Depends on how much you'd wear these. Personally, I would sell.<br /> 5: Keep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817495 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:57:24 +0000 Thistle 817495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think:<br /> #1 Sell<br /> #2 I like on you and seems your style. Can't see the sleeves though. If you need to have it tailored to wear, I would probably considered consigning it.<br /> #3 I would keep for your Opera capsule. It will probably not see a lot of wear, but enough to justify keeping.<br /> #4 I would sell. Cropped pants are so hard to style and I think in your climate bare ankles are cold most of the year. These would look stunning with high heels, but I also think you have said you have fussy feet.<br /> #5 I like it, and I think it fits with your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817494 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:56:49 +0000 Amy 817494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, no...please don't make those sleeves smaller on the DVF blouse. They're so dramatic and fab. </p> <p>I think you should keep the dress, but agree with Deb's assessment of 1, 4 and 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817493 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:51:05 +0000 Deborah 817493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I think your choices here have much to do with where you see your style going. Over the past months I feel you have added "sophistication" to the mix so in the light of that #1 the cropped sweater reads a little juvinile to me.</p> <p>#2 is a beautiful and quite classic. I have seen a lot of blouses with full sleeves here and I find it attractive and feminine. I think you can styke this in a way that is still fashion forward and de-classic the piece if you want to.</p> <p>#3 the dress is stunning. fits you well and is very flattering. Dresses with sleeves are a rarity and I would keep this. </p> <p>#4 really depends on you. Perhaps have a play with styling alternatives. Do you feel these pants are what yu want to be wearing now?</p> <p>#5 I love this skirt, the pattern and colour but I don't it reads juvinile. I'm not sure it's a piece worthy of your wardrobe;). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817492 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:48:31 +0000 Caro in Oz 817492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep #2 but take it to a seamstress. Unless you have many shirts that you would wear before this one. It looks really great on you.</p> <p>#3 Sounds like you do wear it so keep if you love it - if you have other thinks you would prefer to wear, then sell it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817489 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:31:10 +0000 christieanne 817489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the design on dvf blouse. See what you mean on the sleeves though. Maybe they can be restyled? If you like the rest of blouse, might be worth considering. </p> <p>I am considering another closet purge and feel like when I really get down to the debating point, I am usually likely to let things go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817487 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:28:34 +0000 annagybe 817487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear the DVF dress to August opera generally, where it's warm enough, but still has sleeves so I don't freeze in the hall. Maybe I should hold onto it given that dresses with sleeves are very hard to find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817485 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:26:32 +0000 CocoLion 817485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sell everything if you don't like it any more. However, I do think #2 and #3 the DVF items have a timeless yet chic quality plus they look great on you. I especially like the easy, relaxed vibe of the silk dress. Although this might be something you can only wear if you leave Seattle (and if that's the case, purge). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817484 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:25:43 +0000 Diane P 817484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should keep the DVF blouse and take it to a good seamstress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817480 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:23:12 +0000 Anonymous 817480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should definitely post these to style exchange first if you are going to part with anything.

It's hard to tell because one is hidden and the other is bent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817476 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:18:43 +0000 annagybe 817476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My only concern with the DVF blouse is the sleeves are pretty voluminous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817475 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:18:11 +0000 Claudia 817475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>DRATS!!! okay, I'll stop following you around on these threads </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817474 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:17:23 +0000 annagybe 817474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry Claudia not selling my Etoile Isabel Marant pants, I only got them in August. I haven't even worn them enough to wash them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817472 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:14:56 +0000 Kari 817472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The DVP blouse in #2 makes my heart flutter. If I thought it would fit me I'd buy it off you in a heartbeat, but I'm sure at my current size it would be too snug. I adore that piece.</p> <p>I noticed all the tops on the chopping block are patterns. Anything in particular about these prints that you think you're moving away from?</p> <p>I think the pants in #4 are fun, but I can also see it being a challenge to wear them fashionably when heels are not an option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817471 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:14:55 +0000 Claudia 817471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, if you ever want to part with these, please let me know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-sell#post-817470 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:14:47 +0000 MsMary 817470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1.

And if you decide to purge that one I would very gladly take it! Lol, I love it! </p>
