Personally, I don't see many colors as dated, but I also have a different color philosophy than many (I wear fall colors year round, regardless of whether they are on trend). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-448313 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 04:02:27 +0000 annette 448313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 Skirt is the halogen pencil and is really a size too big. I have not tried washing it, Makrame, but maybe I could test that out since I would be thrilled if it shrank. If it looks dated it might be because it isn't tight enough for a pencil? That comment was funny and useful since the color was my attempt to be more modern!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-448257 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:43:25 +0000 Anonymous 448257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love 1 &amp; 3 outfits. Very classy, chic, ever-green styles. 2 one looks good but i think more trendy and can date you w/that bright lavender skirt i think.</p> <p>Up to you tho! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-448252 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:31:51 +0000 Lisa 448252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want to judge a piece purely based on the fit, I would post them unstyled. This way it will be easy to asses only the fit and not the "overall" look of an outfit. Don't forget about the hidden holding zone too. If you have some questionable items (especially new or rarely worn items that cost a pretty penny) if you put them aside and do not rescue them after the season is over, you know they have to move on, regardless of the cost of the item since it went unworn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-448242 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:26:25 +0000 annette 448242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I am not bothering you guys with the really obvious stuff. This morning I removed a very cute skirt which I love but is too big now. I want to choose the best looking, best fitting, most useful or especially fun items. I don't want anything left that is blah, I'll fitting, etc. I find I have a hard time being neutral about the pieces. If they are new or were spendy I might tend to hang on to them even if they really aren't right for me. I will try to stop cutting off my head so I can get feedback about color too. I find the YLF feedback VERY useful.<br /> I just don't need to have so much, and hope to get some help on what to keep or donate. I have 30 winter skirts!<br /> would it be better for me to post pix of the items NOT in an outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-448212 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:01:57 +0000 Suz 448212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like all these items, Annette, and expect all the colours work pretty well on you, too. So give us some info. What are your parameters for weeding stuff out? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-448140 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 23:46:51 +0000 amyreh 448140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would like #1 better with a shirt hanging down under the jacket - it seems a little short on its own maybe, but love #2 and 3, all seem like versatile pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-448088 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 22:38:08 +0000 Mo 448088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wear-everything-twice-check-in-1" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....check-in-1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-448039 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 21:21:38 +0000 Nakidra 448039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could someone give me more info on this challenge? I have WAY too much in my closet and feel like I may need to do this!<br /> I do think that the jeans in #1 look a bit big... I love the skirt in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-447845 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 16:55:29 +0000 rachylou 447845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh.. All of those outfits look better than fine to me. But, if a forced pick, I'd maybe go for the sweater because it's a little wrinkled up in the pic... And then I'd go retrieve it from the Goodwill bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-447838 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 16:49:10 +0000 Kate 447838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I did my wear everything twice challenge, after I got through the things that just didn't fit right or was worn out, I found that the next stuff to go were the items that didn't fit in my wardrobe. The ones that I would try to use in an outfit, and they just didn't work right. There was also the occasional item that I loved on the hanger, but couldn't get myself to actually wear out of the house. It's hard to assess items in isolation, because part of creating a smaller, more cohesive picture is really looking at the big picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-447776 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:38:52 +0000 lpr200 447776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 2 and 3 especially- Not sure on #1, but can't say why-I think Kari may have it about the fit of the jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-447687 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:21:41 +0000 teri 447687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i don't hink I could part with any of those items....</p> <p>#3 is a GREAT outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-447684 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:17:16 +0000 Makrame 447684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I really like all of these pieces (on their own and in these combinations). It looks like they fit you well. The only potential tweak to this outfits I can think of would be trying to layer a longer top, like a long cami, over pants for #1.</p> <p>BTW, speaking of laundry vs. dry cleaning - have you or anyone else tried washing Halogen skirt instead of dry-cleaning? I am also striving to keep only well-fitting clothes and get rid of anything that looks worn out - unfortunately, sometimes even a few runs through the washer make an item look really old. I am debating how to make the skirts last longer but I am also really bad at remembering to take stuff to dry cleaners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-447681 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:12:28 +0000 Lisa 447681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these outfits are nice, but how are these colors near your face? The blazer in #1 and #2 can be tricky colors to wear. Also, the skirt in #2 is lovely, do you favor pastel colors in your wardrobe?</p> <p>I don't see any fit issues with these items. After I purged the easy items: worn, poor fit, out of style, etc. I started to shift gears to the colors. Anything 'warm' colored does not work for me (I'm better in cools) so those items went next. Then items that were 'soft' went after that, as I personally favor stronger saturated hues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-447597 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 04:22:55 +0000 mamaKate 447597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel better about offering an opinion on what to keep when given a choice of "this or that." Because in isolation, everything looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-447540 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 02:55:44 +0000 annette 447540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It isn't that I am thinking of getting rid of these items necessarily, just that I am trying to look with a critical eye (hopefully yours!). I tend to hang on to things that may or may not be great because they were expensive or other dumb reasons. I hope to end up with a wardrobe that is smaller and more fabulous by weeding out anything that is just OK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-447536 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 02:49:32 +0000 Sophia 447536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all your pieces and outfits! One thing you need to make sure when wanting your clothes to last is to make sure it's washed well! A couple of dry cleaning bills is better then a pile of ill fitting clothes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-447533 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 02:47:43 +0000 Kari 447533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*gasp* you're thinking of getting rid of the Halogen ponte pencil skirt? Say it isn't so!</p> <p>Annette, could you say more about why you *aren't* wearing these pieces or why you feel they are on the chopping block?<br /> I really liked the pieces in #2 and 3 as is. I wonder if the jeans in #1 aren't a little too big for you and wonder about the color of the jacket in #1 next to your face - IMO that *can* be a tricky color to pull off, but I'd like to see other pictures before I weigh in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-447532 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 02:46:55 +0000 Anonymous 447532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all looks good to me. I especially like the lavendar and brown together in #2 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lisas-wear-everythingtwice-challenge#post-447527 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 02:40:43 +0000 annette 447527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I REALLY enjoyed reading about Lisa's plan to trim her closet. I am doing something similar and would love to get feedback on what should stay and what should go. By the end of the winter I want only pieces left that fit and flatter and work and play well with the other clothes! Any thoughts on which of those should stay and which should be passed along? </p>
