I will advice on skipping the first season and simply seeing the&nbsp; second one instead- there is really only a very subtle and not too vital connection&nbsp; between them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301543 Thu, 12 Jan 2023 13:40:05 +0000 Anonymous 2301543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I figure this is what happens when people buy into a bunch of aesthetics without doing wardrobe planning!<br /> I'm not a TV watcher, but I am facinated by costume design! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301503 Thu, 12 Jan 2023 10:13:02 +0000 Cee 2301503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You haven't lived until you've tried putting your arm through the collar and your head through the arm hole ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301448 Thu, 12 Jan 2023 00:45:09 +0000 Sloper 2301448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm certainly a slob, so yay!!&nbsp; But then again am I "that" kind of slob, i.e. cool girl slob?

Then just last night we were looking for a new series to start and restarted The White Lotus. Now I will be watching the wardrobes intently :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301301 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 13:59:24 +0000 Janet 2301301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought season two was better than the first! </p> <p>Portia’s style is a mess, of course, but it fits her character. That bandeau outfit was so awful, but it also sort of represented the situation she was (at that point unwittingly) getting into. </p> <p>I loved watching the arc of Aubrey Plaza’s character’s fashion choices as that story line progressed. </p> <p>It’s a really well done show. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301279 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 09:21:36 +0000 Star (Lise) 2301279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha so I was trendy in the Aughts doing this?&nbsp; Only kidding (mostly) :)&nbsp; It certainly was the most unstylish period of my life, buying too many clothes because they looked nice on the hanger and not necessarily on me, without any forethought about how to wear them with each other. Interesting read. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301261 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 06:44:26 +0000 rachylou 2301261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m down with the weird sweater over the zebra bikini top, but I’m not entirely convinced of the explanation / description. That is, I’m not sure it’s a slobby look. Shabby maybe. The word ‘midway’ comes to mind… a carnival sideshow… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301259 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 05:27:14 +0000 Sal 2301259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There was a lot of eye candy fashion on the show - Tanya, Harper, Lucia, Mia, Daphne- and Portia’s wardrobe fitted her character well.</p> <p>I loved season 2 - even more than season 1.</p> <p>I hope the mood shift is real - I can feel it- let’s hope it lasts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301250 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 04:47:35 +0000 slim cat 2301250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting read - I like it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301240 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 03:25:09 +0000 Angie 2301240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We saw the first season of White Lotus, and were not impressed :(&nbsp;</p> <p>But now you have me curious about Portia, <b>Anna!</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301220 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 02:33:40 +0000 LaPed 2301220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the show and think the costuming is so good. Portia's outfits totally resonate; I see them as an evocation of the ennui and frustration of being a broke 20-something working a thankless and humiliating job: <i>if I can't look great, I can at least look weird, </i>and:&nbsp;<i>I'm definitely not in a position to take my life seriously.&nbsp;</i>I was in my teens/early 20s in what we're now calling "the naughties" and I can for sure get behind the return of irony, though I'll probably be adding it in smaller doses than I did the first time around. :)&nbsp;&nbsp;<i><br /></i><i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301208 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 01:19:23 +0000 Irina 2301208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b>Well, I have seen it, both seasons actually.&nbsp;<div>I thought no more than “young people fashion “ about Portia’s outfits. They had to make her a naive outsider and outfits were too literal for my taste but whatever. It’s was interesting to see how outfits play their role to underline characters in the show.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301207 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 01:18:46 +0000 Jaime 2301207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i>This<i>: Portia doesn’t have a look, she simply has a collection of various moods, the clothing equivalent of the human condition.<br /></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/messy-fashion#post-2301201 Wed, 11 Jan 2023 01:09:28 +0000 annagybe 2301201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not seen White Lotus, but I thought this was an interesting breakdown of new shifts in fashion.
