I have an assortment of navy (my dark neutral).&nbsp;</p> <p>The dressy sheath in my own closet is not t his colour but a bright navy. I also have another navy dress, not pictured -- a sleeveless knit not in my Finds because it is so old (predates Finds and I never took a photo yet).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg/page/2#post-2153522 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 16:21:41 +0000 Suz 2153522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenn,</b> you look amazing in all of these -- but the cashmere sweater dress is just incredible on you! Wow!!&nbsp;</p> <p>"Well past 30 wears" is a real achievement when you have a smaller wardrobe and perhaps especially in a warmer climate where you will be wearing even more of your items year round.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg/page/2#post-2153511 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 14:17:36 +0000 Kyle 2153511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That cashmere sweater dress look blew me away.

(I love the colour of your wall!)</p> <p>The dress looks gorgeous! And the pattern in 3 is really beautiful. Great hair too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153431 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 21:25:03 +0000 Vildy 2153431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's just a dress, Jenn. You can (and should?) wear it anytime, anywhere. What's the old adage? It's not about the dress, it's about the woman in the dress.&nbsp; And you prove that a thousand times over.&nbsp; You are spectacular and the dress is just coming along for the ride.&nbsp; Of course, everyone eyeing you will eat their heart out.&nbsp; hee </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153421 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 19:22:33 +0000 Cardiff girl 2153421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You ve cracked the relaxed ,boho Californian vibe and that black dress is a fab look on you.Have the confidence to wear it as a dress,you can definitely rock it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153408 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 18:22:09 +0000 Jenn 2153408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, your LOVELY comments...thank you,&nbsp;<b>Angie!&nbsp;</b>I think black dresses are signature to this leg of my style journey, and they are the one category where I don't ascribe to "the power of one." I'm thinking about adding another, even (a bias cut slip dress, if I can find one that works).</p> <p>Also, when I find a new stylist, I intend to keep my long hair...maybe just not quite as annoyingly long, and with fewer split ends. :)</p> <p><b>Irina,&nbsp;</b>I was noticing in these pics that my hair seems to have acquired some natural highlights. Thank the California sun for that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153394 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 17:42:08 +0000 Angie 2153394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back to tell you that #3 and #4 are my faves! KILLER to the Power of KILLER. I think among my BEST Jenn looks ever :)</p> <p>Your gorgeous beachy long waves are soooooooo SoCal... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153383 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 16:49:14 +0000 Angie 2153383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going with KILLER all round, and will be back!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153380 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 16:37:49 +0000 Irina 2153380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, all outfits look so beautiful that I can’t pick my favorite! :)<br />and that hair!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153377 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 16:23:49 +0000 Jenn 2153377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>delurked,&nbsp;</b>I think we're not alone in appreciating boots in warmer climates. I swear you could pinpoint October in SoCal by all the boots coming out, no matter the actual temperature.</p> <p><b>nemosmom,&nbsp;</b>#4 is the Naadam, #2 is Elizabeth Suzann, and #3 is Johnny Was. &nbsp;Including some Finds here, since I neglected them in the original post.</p> <p><b>Janet,&nbsp;</b>I've tried it with some other dresses I've owned and it hasn't worked nearly as well. I think just any button-down dress won't do, but I couldn't tell you what does make it work...maybe a more substantial fabric?</p> <p><b>suntiger,&nbsp;</b>that duster is the single most expensive piece in my wardrobe. I treasure it.</p> <p><b>Bijou,&nbsp;</b>if we ever get to go out to dinner again, it's at the top of my outfit list.</p> <p><b>kkards,&nbsp;</b>I feel like it would be perfect for a day in an artsy mountain town.</p> <p><b>Fashintern,&nbsp;</b>I don't think we actually got the frost in the end, but better safe than sorry! Weather whiplash this week, but the cooler air is a huge relief. Would you believe I bought those boots as part of a costume for a theme party? I made a deal with myself at the time that I could get the nice ones if I promised to wear them a lot once the party was over and...boy howdy. One of my best purchases ever.</p> <p><b>Star,&nbsp;</b>it took me years to get to this point with my wardrobe, and I still get bored on occasion, so I'm sure &nbsp;the limited number of options in my closet would bore some people to death. It generally works for me, though, and it feels so good to have new pieces in regular rotation!</p> <p><b>Minaminu,&nbsp;</b>sadly, the jacket probably won't be with me much longer, The pleather is starting to flake at the back of the neck and crack at the elbows. I'll miss it when its gone.</p> <p><b>slim cat,&nbsp;</b>thank you! That embroidered sweater makes an outfit all by itself.<br /><b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153372 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 15:58:26 +0000 delurked 2153372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really enjoy your cohesive wardrobe. You look great in these pics. And as a fellow boot lover, I like the boots even in a warmer climate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153366 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 15:28:07 +0000 nemosmom 2153366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the dress-as-duster - is that your Naadam dress?? Also, the oxblood/burgundy color of the faux leather jacket is GORGEOUS on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153360 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 15:15:35 +0000 Janet 2153360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Special love for looks 1 and 4. I have always been fascinated with the idea of a dress that can be worn as a duster but when I’ve tried it with the few I’ve ever owned, it just doesn’t work on me, or maybe it’s that the dresses weren’t right. You do it brilliantly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153322 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 11:49:49 +0000 Anonymous 2153322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the embroidered duster especially but they all look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153320 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 11:47:11 +0000 Bijou 2153320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>100% agree with LisaP and Rachy - you must wear that dress as a dress - fabulous on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153318 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 11:39:20 +0000 kkards 2153318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn i love all of these, but #3, as a non Californian, is exactly what i think of when i think California style.<br />Your wardrobe may not have many “Os”, but it has lots of “Gs”. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153309 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 08:47:32 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2153309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all great. I’ve always liked how you wear your cowboy boots, and now I see they’ve been with you for a long time. A frost alert in LA? Yikes! Then again, I probably would’ve welcomed that when we lived in Florida. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153308 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 08:33:40 +0000 Star (Lise) 2153308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, and the number of wears you get from your clothes in a relatively short period is inspirational.&nbsp; This is my medium to long term goal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153307 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 08:29:15 +0000 Star (Lise) 2153307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fabulous outfits, I really like your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153293 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 06:42:12 +0000 Minaminu 2153293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, you can definately wear the cashmere duster as a dress! I really like how you dressed it up!</p> <p>The red jacket is an amazing find!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153290 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 05:27:41 +0000 slim cat 2153290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous outfit collection! Love all of the looks but dying over #3 - so fab!<br />The hair looks amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153287 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 04:58:16 +0000 Jenn 2153287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, the last one is a little more bombshell than my normal, but I now feel like I need to find a place to wear it that way. </p> <p>Joy, thank you! I pulled these together for the fun of it this afternoon, but I have and would wear most of them...someday, when there are occasions for them again. </p> <p>Lynne, I write down what I wore in my planner each day and then, once a week or so, update the counts in my wardrobe spreadsheet. I used to use an app that made the process slightly quicker, but after a bad update where I feared all my data was lost, I switched to this clunkier but more reliable method. </p> <p>Shevia, you are too kind. My hair is holding its wave quite nicely these days, but I do need to figure out my hairdresser situation at some point. It’s awkward trying to find a new stylist in the midst of a pandemic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153271 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 02:49:24 +0000 Jaime 2153271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before the clothes, the hair! So beautiful! Anyway outfits are all fab, all true to you and you must wear the duster as a dress. It looks amazing on you with the brown boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153260 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 02:19:53 +0000 Lynne 2153260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great boot capsule! Your OBGs all look current and co-ordinated.<br /> Fantastic outfits; can I ask how you track your wears? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153259 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 02:17:20 +0000 Anonymous 2153259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, you have such a fabulous style.

I checked to see when I mentioned it before and, would you believe, it was featured in my first <i>ever</i> WIW! I still have the skirt from that outfit too.</p> <p><b>runcarla,&nbsp;</b>so true about transitioning to new style personas! I probably could have come up with another outfit or two within these parameters, but I ran out of time and light to take photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153247 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 01:10:03 +0000 Carla 2153247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I had to work pretty hard to make it to 5 outfits, &nbsp;since like you, I keep a smaller collection of clothes. &nbsp;However, I think I like the opportunity of adding new things, and possibly ‘trendy’ things - when the older things wear out! &nbsp;Also, it permits a nimble transition to a new style persona. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>People with a medium sized closet probably have a more equitable balance of older (10 yo) and newer garments, while people with big closets could have a museum. </p> <p>It’s all good!</p> </div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-take-on-obg#post-2153244 Tue, 10 Nov 2020 00:52:04 +0000 Sal 2153244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect Jenn.&nbsp; When you can wear a dress 39 times in less than a year or 57 times....then you won't get many lasting over 5 years.&nbsp; I was surprised how few I have that are over four years old....</p> <p>These are all classic great Jenn looks - I am not sure I have ever noticed the faux leather jacket in 1 - I don't know why.</p> <p>These are all great but I adore 3 with the hat and patterned duster.&nbsp; The last is really good on you too.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
