Do you wear statement jeans?&nbsp;</p> <p>*Please post your list in the comment's section of the blog post.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials#post-1786292 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 01:35:15 +0000 Traci 1786292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I *think* my statements are colorful trousers, leather and denim jackets, blazers, jersey skirts, silk and other light fabric flows shells, earrings, colorful sandals and knee high boots. Oh, also metallic shoes and sneakers. Usually, but not currently, also bold necklaces.</p> <p>ETA: colors<br /> Essential: Black, white/cream, tan, cognac, light and dark denim, blush, grey, navy<br /> Statement: burgundy, saffron, gold, true red, emerald, and looking to add raspberry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials#post-1786286 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 01:28:37 +0000 Suz 1786286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a really good list. I wonder if you can refine it a bit by colour?&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, curious -- what are your statements?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials#post-1786226 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 23:47:47 +0000 Traci 1786226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking I should print this for a packing list for my husband. If he grabbed 1-2 items from each category I'd be pretty set for up to a week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials#post-1786222 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 23:41:00 +0000 Traci 1786222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! I think this is a littler simpler for me right now because I only have one lifestyle to dress for. There's no work vs weekend vs physical activity. What I've pulled together for my Spring wardrobe so far is pretty simple across categories, there's just several versions of each item, so it's far from a small capsule. Here's how it all looks together so far. Much more color than in the last few years.</p> <p>Oh, I just realized I left out trench coats. I have too many trench coats. I also seem to have a fantasy life where wool peacoats are appropriate, but not in my real life </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials#post-1786217 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 23:35:02 +0000 shedev 1786217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great list. I think loafers are classic. They just come out with some new interpretations each year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials#post-1786216 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 23:33:08 +0000 Anonymous 1786216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in loafers, and I definitely associate them with your style.</p> <p>I definitely associate button ups with your style. Same with turtlenecks.</p> <p>I too consider nude-to-me sandals as an essential (I might have forgotten to list them out in angie's blog post the other day). although i only have 1 pair, I have been wearing nude sandals for 15 years or so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials#post-1786214 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 23:32:52 +0000 Jenn 1786214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You make it look so easy!
