Your simple outfit is a perfect backdrop for your accessories, and everything looks like it fits well and is flattering. I don't see any problem with the jeans; I think they look great on you. But only you can decide whether you like the whiskering or not. I hope we'll see lots more of your style. Don't worry, taking pictures does get easier. carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-25#post-1074570 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 22:26:05 +0000 carter 1074570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great idea, Beth Ann. Scarves and tucking pants in boots (I know I'm about a decade late on this) will be my biggest learning curves, so we'll start with the easier items...belts and shoes. Suz on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-25#post-1074562 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 22:19:45 +0000 Suz 1074562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are the most elegant dork I have ever seen! I love the colour of the sweater, the jeans look perfect for at-home days, and I am taking notes on how to wear a statement necklace. This is a beautiful outfit!  Beth Ann on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-25#post-1074558 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 22:15:23 +0000 Beth Ann 1074558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So glad to see your response to Rachy's question before I comment.  That kind of information is so helpful.  You already seem to understand how to dress yourself in colors and silhouettes that flatter you -- you don't look like a dork, you look like a beautiful lady with a iPhone in her hand! I like the way the necklace fills the neckline here without overpowering.  That's great.  I think the jeans are keepers for more casual days, and the sweater is a perfect fit.  You might try giving yourself a different accessory to play with each week, as a sort of challenge  Perhaps one week it could be belts, the next, scarves....Just an idea. The first WIW is the hardest, and they are most helpful when you do them regularly, at least at first. Welcome! carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-25#post-1074546 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 22:01:00 +0000 carter 1074546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all! Rachylou, to answer your question...I want to look effortlessly "put together" everyday. Jewelry is generally my go-to outfit completer, but I'd like to get better with belts, shoes, scarves, jackets, etc. I sell real estate, so even on the days when I'm not scheduled to meet a client, I will often run into one in the grocery store, carpool line, Costco, etc, so it's important that I always look the way they expect me to look, even if it's a more casual day for me. Outside of closings and open houses, my work wardrobe is business casual, so I'll get some of those posted as well. Over the past couple months I have added more accessories and some more refined casual clothes to my wardrobe. My challenge is to use these items to add interest to my look while keeping it sophisticated and easy. So as I post outfits, please tell me if I look over done or under done. Most importantly, if you were a client and ran into me on the street in whatever outfit I'm wearing, would you feel comfortable that I'm the person you're trusting with your largest investment. So appreciate your comments.

They're pretty awesome for your most comfy, around the house pair. I expected them to be all faded out with a rip or tear or two! Love the berry top and jewelry, and I'm looking forward to more of your WIWs. catgirl on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-25#post-1074374 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 19:40:48 +0000 catgirl 1074374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think you look great - the first thing I noticed was how fab the jeans look on you. carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-25#post-1074372 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 19:38:05 +0000 carter 1074372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you, ladies!  It was very awkward taking those photos, but I suppose I'll get used to it.  I'll be studying poses:) Anonymous on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-25#post-1074371 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 19:36:43 +0000 Anonymous 1074371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This looks like a great casual outfit to me.  Well done. cciele on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-wiw-25#post-1074368 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 19:35:23 +0000 cciele 1074368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm not an expert on jeans fit, but if you feel "off" when wearing the jeans, perhaps it's time for a new pair! Love the magenta with your coloring, and the bling kicks the outfit up a notch!
