Practical and polished. Sounds like you are set. I love Angie's suggestion about the jeans. Enjoy your f/w wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-formula#post-1966517 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 17:55:49 +0000 JuniperGreen 1966517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!&nbsp; I realized today the black Blondo boots must be returned - too narrow and heel is slipping which is so sad because my usual size works for the taupe pair.&nbsp; So will order a few options from Nordstom and the taupe and patent pair will do double duty for now.</p> <p>Angie - I agree mixing in some more on-trend denim would be a fun addition... the hunt begins!&nbsp; The light wash of your new Levi's addition is inspiring.&nbsp; I just had to return a pair of Madewell high-rise skinnies... TOO TIGHT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-formula#post-1966039 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 12:10:58 +0000 Wise Shopper 1966039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see how anything matches anything from your collection. Especially love the Macy's booties and White House jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-formula#post-1966025 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 11:01:08 +0000 jussie 1966025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great formula. Simple, comfortable, practical, stylish. Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-formula#post-1965998 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 09:18:59 +0000 Anonymous 1965998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT formula! &nbsp;I realize formula dressing is not for everyone, but I am a huge fan of this approach to dressing because it makes everything so much easier. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-formula#post-1965957 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 05:03:25 +0000 Suz 1965957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a lovely set of Finds. I'd buy that Boden blazer in 5 seconds if the hardware were silver instead of gold. I really love this classic-with-currency look you have going here -- the addition of olive and leopard is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-formula#post-1965913 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 02:40:52 +0000 Anonymous 1965913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’re a pro wardrobe planner!<br /> Lots of variety and interest here. That blazer looks amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-formula#post-1965854 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 23:49:33 +0000 Angie 1965854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOHOO, <b>Juniper Green</b>. I'm loving the focus and the palette, and can imagine it looking crisp and smashing with your specs and lovely locks. That Boden blazer is the bomb. Top pick next week.&nbsp;</p> <p>You *might* want to add some high waisted jeans to the mix for a smattering of trendy fabness.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-formula#post-1965766 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 17:28:22 +0000 abc 1965766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! So organized! So coordinated, so capsule-y. I am trying to get there, myself.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-fw-formula#post-1965758 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 16:55:55 +0000 JuniperGreen 1965758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I realized that a bunch of duplicated purchases this season have given me an easy workwear formula with plenty of variety.&nbsp; I think I'm going to try to stick to it for fall and winter this year, so laying out my finds has helped me to see the possible combos.&nbsp; I also wanted to share some finds I'm loving :)&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for looking... input and riffs welcome!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>For tops I rotate: <ul> <li>Crew neck sweater - all of these crew necks can accommodate shirts or turtlenecks underneath if I want extra layers <ul> <li>Duplicating the J Crew Tippi sweater is what set me on the path for this formula: black, navy, leopard print, and a painterly sort of b+w polka dot&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li>I also have a J Crew leopard "sweatshirt" which is a knit and is dressier than it seems in the photo - I adore it! A bit bulky but a semi-tuck helps.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> </ul> </li> <li>Turtleneck (added the gray Talbots stripe to my collection of J Crew tissue turtlenecks in black, b+w stripe, and olive)</li> <li><i>Wild cards... collared or open necked tops in optic white when I want a brighter, lighter look.</i></li> </ul> I add a topper if I need it: <ul> <li>Navy Boden blazer (my first Boden piece and FAB quality, thank you Angie for the rec!)</li> <li>Olive green Talbots blazer (no find)</li> <li>Black Calvin Klein blazer (no find)</li> </ul> On bottom I rotate: <ul> <li>Black Talbots stretch ankle pants for a skinny silhouette, to wear with the tops untucked</li> <li>Black Vince high waist pull-on trousers (GREAT quality and very comfortable), to wear with tops tucked in or semi-tucked</li> <li>Green or purple (!) high waist pull-on trousers (this find here is an approximation of two fun pairs I picked up at a boutique), to wear with tops tucked in or semi-tucked.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li>WHBM jeans on Fridays :)&nbsp; - worn with a belt</li> </ul> For shoes I rotate: <ul> <li>Booties (very loyal to Blondo as they wear so well in the winter muck)</li> <li>Loafers (so clunky and I love them... might even get them in a taupe color too)</li> </ul>
