Why not, right? I'll be watching with interest as your new life and style continue to unfold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-update#post-1588618 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 15:28:42 +0000 Bonnie 1588618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You probably need new basics because of your weight loss. I'd start with a pair of pants in a style that looks good on and find shoes that feel great and then try different tops to see which ones you like and work with your new lifestyle. Since you won't be needing work outfits, you can have some fun and be creative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-update#post-1588591 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 14:13:23 +0000 Angie 1588591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A style refresh is an excellent idea at this stage of your life. (((HUGS))).&nbsp;</p> <p>You need to do a little more soul searching into your current style preferences. Many more wild cards from now on. Building on what Shevia said, try on items that you would have ignored before now and see where it takes you. Make sure you order the right size for your new body when shopping online.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-update#post-1588542 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 09:45:33 +0000 lyn67 1588542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shevia, said:-)).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-update#post-1588497 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 03:57:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1588497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder how much of an update you need. If you get clothes that fit your new body, everything will look different, even if the styles are similar to what you've been wearing. Usually one can count on new outerwear, footwear, eyewear, or accessories to update a look. In your case, those are the things that are likely to remain, while you refresh your wardrobe with new sizes of basic clothing. I might try to get new sizes in those things that you really wish still fit right, and then go from there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-update#post-1588496 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 03:57:43 +0000 Debbie 1588496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are feeling up to it go to a couple of stores you have not been lately and try on a few things. I see you going in a slightly more feminine direction. I recently bought this blouse that Angie recommended and can totally see you in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-update#post-1588495 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 03:48:58 +0000 deb 1588495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shevia and Rachy. Rachy, that is a great idea. I am retiring in January so it is a really good time to casualize a little. </p> <p>ETA - I could use some Bad A$$ in my life right now..</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-update#post-1588492 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 03:39:28 +0000 rachylou 1588492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you remember these looks? <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---flannel-flurry-and-bootie-roll" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ootie-roll</a></p> <p>I love these on you. The little bit of bad a$$ vibe.&nbsp;The long hair is really key - you're just gorgeous with the long hair. And also, even though they're not bodycon or anything, I feel these looks are shapely. I think you could expand on this... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-update#post-1588485 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 03:23:49 +0000 Jaime 1588485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think anyone can really impose a style on you from the outside but it does seem the perfect time to play in the dressing room of some stores you normally would never enter and see what sings to you. The blouse is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-an-update#post-1588484 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 03:20:15 +0000 deb 1588484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lot has happened in my life the past few months and I am getting the feeling I need a fashion update. Well, maybe not an update but a new direction. I am currently down about 15&nbsp;pounds and most of my wardrobe does not fit properly. I have always loved the loose flowy tops over skinnies and pencil skirt looks but now the skinnies and skirts are hanging on me. Last month I bought a pair of rain boots to take the pups out for potty time and that is it. This month I ordered the BR lace blouse that Angie favored only in the blue. My question for all of you is, what direction do you think I should try out? I have no preference. I want to keep my hair long because it is my natural color and have not worn it long since my 20's when I chopped it all off. I am open to any and all suggestions so bring them on. </p> <p>I hope every one had a very nice Thanksgiving and harvest time.<i>&nbsp;&nbsp;</i><i></i><i> </i> </p>
