WELL DONE </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-12#post-2168838 Sat, 30 Jan 2021 05:17:38 +0000 Anonymous 2168838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds just right for building outfits. I could have a similar list except that I would probably add white pieces to each category and no leggings or tops to wear with them, although I am liking longer tops recently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-12#post-2168631 Fri, 29 Jan 2021 13:41:17 +0000 Helena 2168631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a perfect canvas for accessories, statement pieces, or just a keep-it-simple classic look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-12#post-2168532 Thu, 28 Jan 2021 21:07:16 +0000 unfrumped 2168532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good list! And I can relate to how essentials shifted during pandemic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-12#post-2168501 Thu, 28 Jan 2021 18:57:34 +0000 Isabel 2168501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic !&nbsp; I agree that ( at least my ) essentials should be boring. I look at them as the scaffolding to hold up all the "other stuff" I build on it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-12#post-2168413 Thu, 28 Jan 2021 05:05:19 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 2168413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's a good list... And when you find yourself bored by your essentials, just add a fab accessori! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-12#post-2168402 Thu, 28 Jan 2021 04:20:39 +0000 rachylou 2168402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This seems very clear! Would you say you like to add statement pieces often? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-12#post-2168401 Thu, 28 Jan 2021 03:57:25 +0000 Gigi 2168401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These essentials look like they are very comfy! Reading your list makes me realize that I don't have essentials for some categories--for instance, my toppers are all statements; I have no "essential" toppers. I hadn't noticed that before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-12#post-2168392 Thu, 28 Jan 2021 03:27:51 +0000 Jaime 2168392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without knowing your style I get a good sense of it and of course your color palette from these. Sounds great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-essentials-12#post-2168384 Thu, 28 Jan 2021 02:50:25 +0000 Lynette 2168384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My essentials are so boring! But maybe that’s the point. As Angie said, they are the glue that holds the outfit together and not the interesting or exciting part of the outfit. I love this topic that comes up once a year. I think people tend to be confused about it because of the word “essentials.” That makes it seem like something you can’t live without! And for some of us that would be our statement pieces. But I think I get it that we are talking about necessary pieces that are neutral, not so exciting, but nevertheless essential. Mine have changed a bit because of Covid and I seem to be wearing leggings and other comfy pieces way more often. So here is my current list right now during winter in the pacific northwest of the USA. Boring but functional and essential!</p> <p>Jeans-black, dark blue, and medium blue skinnies and straights or girlfriend</p> <p>Ankle pants-plain black and navy </p> <p>Leggings- cotton rich (not shiny like exercise gear) black, gray, and navy </p> <p>Cardigans- solids in black, charcoal gray, burgundy</p> <p>Soft toppers that are thigh length and longer- black, gray, burgundy </p> <p>Crew neck pullover sweaters and knits- solid black, gray, burgundy, some stripes</p> <p>Simple shift or A-line dresses or tunics to wear over leggings- solid or patterned black, gray, navy, light denim</p> <p>Shoes- running Tennies, fashion tennies in white and light blue, black boots, brown boots, black booties </p>
