What do you think was holding you back before?</p> <p>I can't consign or sell my clothes. First, I generally wear my clothes hard. Second, my taste seems to be pretty out there. </p> <p>Although, admittedly, I'm talking local consignment here. I'm afraid to eBay. Seems difficult. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168626 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 20:19:27 +0000 catgirl 1168626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great! I have to be careful with choosing colors which lead to orphans. I am often attracted to teal, for instance, and it looks good on me, but I can't seem to style it well. This is why I have narrowed my colors down so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168621 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 20:16:24 +0000 Lyn D. 1168621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh LOL Glory- we have 'Onesies' here too, my DD has a Giraffe.<br />Spelling amended now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168619 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 20:14:07 +0000 Lyn D. 1168619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am definitely feeling better about this jacket after reading all your helpful replies :)<br />Suz- it is lightweight- poly sheer sleeves and body with cream-cotton lace lining.<br />One reason that I want to keep is that it although I bought fairly cheaply it is actually a designer label.<br />Elizabeth P- I am sure you will get the opportunity to wear your orphans when the weather changes.<br />April- I will try it with my white jeans and see how that feels, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168548 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 19:04:10 +0000 cheryl 1168548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a pretty color and it looks lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168398 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 15:40:39 +0000 Elizabeth P 1168398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this jacket!&nbsp; I think it will be great in the spring, over white jeans.&nbsp; </p> <p>And yes, guilty.&nbsp; I have two skirts I bought in the fall, still with tags on.&nbsp; A tunic I got at Christmas, still with tags on.&nbsp; But I do like them, between the weather and other clothes they just haven't made it out of the closet yet.&nbsp; I seem to forget a) what I have when I see things I like, esp at a good price, and b)&nbsp; my lifestyle.... there's only one casual Friday in a week! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168396 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 15:38:31 +0000 Suz 1168396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love the jacket, <b>AND</b> I love the jacket&nbsp;on you!! What's it made of? Is it a sort of spring/ fall weight, or indoor weight, or what feels best?&nbsp;&nbsp;It looks as if it drapes nicely. This is a super outfit, and I think the others have also offered great styling ideas.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168386 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 15:31:56 +0000 Anonymous 1168386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job! The teal looks great on you and the jacket doesn't read as too dressy at all.</p> <p>I'm definitely guilty of wearing things once and then having them just sit there. Obviously, this isn't something I'm happy about, but hopefully getting more selective with what I buy will at least make that happen less often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168379 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 15:27:06 +0000 unfrumped 1168379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like hoe you've done it over a column of neutrals. Agree you migt also try over a colmn of pale spring neutrals-- shades of white and cream.<br /> I say keep wearing it . Also by wearing it more, it may become clearer to you what you want in your next toppers re: fit, color , and what details make something versatile for your wardrobe.<br /> Wearing = learning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168343 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 14:13:10 +0000 kkards 1168343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great save!<br />unfortunately, i have more orphans than i would like to admit. i keep putting off dealing with them….i really have to do something with them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168337 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 14:00:41 +0000 carolbee 1168337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this colour on you Lyn, great casual outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168334 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 13:51:51 +0000 April 1168334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My solution for toppers that feel overly bright to me: white jeans. &nbsp;A magical fix that freshens and lightens intense colors. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168331 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 13:46:22 +0000 Glory 1168331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First the title made me laugh because I was sort of expecting a Onesie. HAHAHA. they are the sleeping rage here and my kids adore them.<br />That aside,&nbsp;I like the jacket, both colour and fit. Love how you have styled it. I say give it a bit of a chance and see if you can wear it a few times to determine whether you should keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168317 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 13:05:16 +0000 Karie 1168317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like how you've styled&nbsp;the jacket, and I think the color looks great on you. Now just replace the jeans with a pencil or tube skirt, and you've got more styling options!<br />Our pre-YLF experiences are all very interesting. Pre-YLF I had "outfits" - about two weeks' worth - that I rotated. I was pretty clueless about mixing and matching. &nbsp;I also didn't really have items that I didn't wear. I have a very stubborn mindset of "You bought it, you'd better wear it!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168310 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 12:52:42 +0000 Helena 1168310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great how you've styled it, and the color is very flattering.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168285 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 08:17:59 +0000 Lyn D. 1168285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank-you for your wise words so far!<br />Sharon- I am glad I am not the only one.<br />Deborah- I do think I will keep now- I put it on Ebay for a reasonable $ and there was no interest.<br />Denise- thank-you for your styling ideas and input!<br />I like your idea of shopping for outfits- are you finding this is limiting your colour-palette too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168281 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 07:58:21 +0000 CocoLion 1168281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket on you. &nbsp;It's got the mixed media and moto thing going. &nbsp;This is a cute casual outfit, the jacket definitely brightens the look. &nbsp;Have you tried it with a simple white scoop neck tank top? &nbsp;How about wearing it closed like a blouse with cami underneath? &nbsp;The boxy, closed jacket look is on trend right now.</p> <p>With my orphans I either re-offer them at a lower price (I too am listing on eBay right now, cleaning out my closet -- I have the time!). &nbsp;Or, I donate them. &nbsp;I've only a few times&nbsp;changed my mind about taking something out of the purge pile. &nbsp;I tend not to beat on myself too much for mistakes. &nbsp;I still make a lot of mistakes, it's constantly a learning process. &nbsp;And when I have to take the time to sell my mistakes on eBay (most of them barely worn or even NWT), it reinforces the learning. &nbsp;</p> <p>I have noticed that I have made fewer footwear mistakes/orphans than clothing mistakes. &nbsp;That is because I am quite picky about shoes, I know what I like, what I don't. &nbsp;Whereas I tend to like more clothing. &nbsp;I see potential in so many pieces on the rack, whereas that isn't the case with shoes.</p> <p>One thing I am trying to do now is to&nbsp;shop outfits more than separates. &nbsp;Sure I have my jeans/tee/cardi formula for lounging at home which is all about separates, and they don't always need to be chic together. &nbsp;But for other &nbsp;wardrobe needs, I am trying to purchase around a complete look now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168275 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 07:26:26 +0000 Deborah 1168275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn this looks really good on you. Wonderful colour and I like the shape and line of the jacket. Do you think you will keep it now? I had so many things that I wore once before YLF. I seemed to have this totally mental mindset that I couldn't be seen in the same thing twice..not sure exactly where that came from. Only yesterday I was thinking how much things have changed. Much smaller wardrobe and I wear pretty much everything a lot.. and what's more there are things I can't wait to wear again. I am doing a bit of a purge on Ebay myself at the moment. Of the two kimono jackets I bought one is just wrong for me so that's on at the moment. It's a rather nice way to raise funds and make room for better things Are you enjoying he cooler day today? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168266 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 06:36:01 +0000 Sharon 1168266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colour on you. I'm so glad you made it work. I'm seeing a bit of teal coming through in the winter lines over the last few weeks, so I think this will work well with the mood of the season.</p> <p>I have a couple of items I have only worn once: a white boho style maxi skirt and a pair of green leopard skinnies. Both were cheap and not brands I usually buy, and both were bought in desperation to try and fill a wardrobe hole. Clearly that worked well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/last-chance-for-a-onesr#post-1168262 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 05:40:02 +0000 Lyn D. 1168262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Fabbers!</p> <p>Pre-YLF I had lots of pieces that were worn once and passed on :(<br />This teal jacket/shirt is a sale buy from Jan. 2013, and hasn't had much love since- Too bright? Too dressy?</p> <p>Anyway, no bites on Ebay so I tried to style and wear today.<br />Now I keep in mind my style-descriptors: Simple, Sporty, etc.<br />This has been very helpful- how can I casualise this jacket and make it more wearable is the question I asked myself.</p> <p>Well, I was happy with this outfit.<br />The BF jeans dressed it down, and worn open it felt quite good.&nbsp;<br />The weather was cooler today, so the extra layer was welcome.</p> <p>Thanks for looking, and I would love to hear about your once-worn items experience! </p>
