Black dresses suit you as well, but I think a dress with a little bit of colour and pattern looks even more interesting. I also like the blouse in #7 and the burgundy jacket in #9. All in all I give an upvote for dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1767841 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 18:59:44 +0000 MsMary 1767841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG these are FAB!! I particularly love the blouse in pic 7. And I LOVE how you do the photos along with the details of each piece. So fun!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1767800 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 16:30:08 +0000 Karin L H 1767800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab looks all around, and I feel inspired as I can see my own style (or what I wish) to be in line with yours! And I ADORE the LBD, you look soooo stunning, I wish I had one that'd fit me as well as yours does! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1767405 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 16:37:55 +0000 LaPed 1767405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn -- keep an eye on Boden for florals in natural fibers. I don't usually do florals at all, but this moody blue-black one really got to me. It's on the way to me right now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1767276 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 10:20:06 +0000 Sisi 1767276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember these outfits and I remember how I have liked them. I really like your style, Jenn. What a pity for that lovely&nbsp;blouse. I know how irritating it is when you find something beautiful in an ugly fabric. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1766382 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 19:06:19 +0000 Karie 1766382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreed, that burgundy jacket is sensational. I would never get rid of it. You look fantastic in all of these, you have a fabulous sense of style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1766274 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 05:57:26 +0000 Brooklyn 1766274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The retrospective is an interesting exercise. When I looked through mine I struggled to find any warm weather outfits that I really loved. But you have all the seasons covered. Must work on that!<br /> These are all great outfits. I love seeing "our" EF poncho in action. And please do not purge the burgundy jacket!!! It's sensational on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1766220 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 00:53:59 +0000 shedev 1766220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, Jenn. My favorite is #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1766214 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 00:42:53 +0000 Jenn 1766214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>smittie--</b>&nbsp;Thanks, I definitely feel like my style has been honed since joining YLF. I also make fewer shopping mistakes, although there have been a few.</p> <p>That green bag was my mom's. I really love that it has a plaid flannel lining. It's a few years old, but the Find below is a similar one in their current line (it also comes in the olive).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1766122 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 19:50:45 +0000 Anonymous 1766122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and I really do see your style being honed since you joined YLF (I think we joined at roughly the same time). It might be the careful accessorizing that's "levelling you up" .</p> <p>I really like your green bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1766090 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 18:19:14 +0000 Suz 1766090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also learn about my own preferences by doing this each year and it is really instructive. Thanks for that reminder.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1766089 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 18:14:13 +0000 Jenn 1766089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for validating my choices!</p> <p>For anyone who takes WIW pictures and hasn't gone back to choose favorites yet, I highly recommend it. I hemmed and hawed a bit about this, but it's definitely a worthwhile exercise. Some things I learned by choosing these and reading your comments:</p> <p>1. My favorite pieces show up over and over again. I'm wearing the same jeans in #2 and #7, the same sweater in #2 and #5, the same poncho in #4 and #5, the same sweater in #3 and #7, the same boots in #2, #4, #5, and #9.</p> <p>2. ...but remixing isn't required. I wore the dress in #6 about 15 times this summer, pretty much just like that.</p> <p>3. I'm wearing lipstick with 6/9 favorite outfits. That's probably most of the days I wore lipstick this year. I should do it more!</p> <p>4. It will be worth the effort it takes to search for natural fiber prints. As lovely as the blouse in #7 is, I rarely wear it because it's polyester. I'd just about given up looking for beautiful florals in natural fibers, but I should keep up the hunt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1765975 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 13:55:19 +0000 Anonymous 1765975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are an awesome collection of looks Jenn! Like Staysfit, I can't pick a favourite. Keep up the good work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1765953 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 11:17:30 +0000 Staysfit 1765953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, I have to agree with each and every one of your favorites. As I was flipping through them I thought "Oh! She looks so good this is my favorite!" -and then I saw the next picture and the same thing happened! You have an awesome smile, a wonderful attitude, and it's fun to read your posts! Happy New Year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1765901 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 03:27:55 +0000 Jaime 1765901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great choices - they represent your style really well and (as follows) look fantastic on you. I honestly can't pick favorites because they all suit a certain occasion and/or mood to a tee. If you wore them on endless loop you would always look fab, albeit possibly feel bored. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1765900 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 03:26:28 +0000 columbine(erin) 1765900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think 3 is my favorite.

Your holiday outfit is very glam, and the other one seems to fit your boho style very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1765861 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 00:31:51 +0000 Bennett 1765861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have great style - YLF in all these outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1765855 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 00:11:54 +0000 Style Fan 1765855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn you look fab in all your outfits but my favourite is the last one.&nbsp; The faux burgundy leather jacket with the great hair!&nbsp; It is so you.&nbsp; Great jacket, hair, jeans and bag.&nbsp; It all seems to come together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1765850 Fri, 06 Jan 2017 00:00:34 +0000 lisaflex 1765850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love #7....the others are fab too...#7 is just so cute on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1765844 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 23:40:33 +0000 Suz 1765844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenn</b>, you look amazing in every one! So glad you shared the festive outfit -- <b>knockout gorgeous</b> on you!!! But like El Cee, I love everything about your style. It feels completely authentic, memorable, and focused, not wasteful. Agree that the floral blouse in 7 is beautiful on you. What a great year in style. Can't wait to see where you go in 2017.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1765840 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 23:10:28 +0000 El Cee 1765840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are <b>all</b> fabulous outfits. You look absolutely stunning in your holiday LBD and pretty necklace. But I also love everything about your everyday relaxed, casual style. Your signature pieces (like the fab hat) really make the outfits interesting and memorable. Yet I am also very drawn to the simplicity of ensemble #7 -- the floral blouse is so lovely and unique that no accessories, bells or whistles are needed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-best-of-2016#post-1765831 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 22:38:44 +0000 Jenn 1765831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm finally getting a chance to sit down and look over my WIW photos from the past year. I wasn't super-consistent about taking photos, and whole swaths of the year are missing, but I was surprised to find quite a few outfits I liked a lot.</p> <p>Working backwards from December...</p> <p>Photo 1 - My holiday party dress. I went with a LBD I've had for years, and I felt perfectly appropriate.</p> <p>Photo 2 - I think this is from October. I loved the ease of this outfit, and how the hat and statement boots could make such a difference turning jeans and a sweater into something more special.</p> <p>Photo 3 - I felt great in this dress every time I wore it.</p> <p>Photos 4 and 5 - Two outfits from my Seattle capsule. I enjoyed working with an extremely limited color palette (even moreso than usual) and appreciated the gift of a consistent climate much more than when I lived in the Pac NW.</p> <p>Photo 6 - My first maxi dress was the biggest winner in my summer wardrobe.</p> <p>Photos 7 and 8 - My mom's passing led to a contemplative time for me this spring, when I pared back the accessories and put together more simple ensembles.</p> <p>Photo 9 - This burgundy faux leather jacket inspired me to upgrade to a real leather version, but I've yet to let it go. Also, man, I really like my hair in that second picture.</p>
