Your individual pieces are always so different to the norm and you combine them no fuss but still, they&nbsp; project creativeness and have&nbsp; artsy/edgy&nbsp; features which&nbsp; suits your persona so well. Hairstyle is also great and is adding charm to your signature style, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it/page/2#post-2293424 Wed, 30 Nov 2022 04:48:23 +0000 Jessikams 2293424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carol the joggers are awesome and have such good details. The pockets are nice and deep and yet don’t add bill. There are zippers at the ankles so you can get a different silhouette if desired. Recommend! (If you can find some on sale—- so expensive at full price) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it/page/2#post-2293391 Wed, 30 Nov 2022 01:00:02 +0000 CarolS 2293391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, I do like those gold Tibi joggers. I have half a notion that I'd like a pair in silver, and your fab outfit fuels that itch.</p> <p>Truly, though, both outfits are truly fabulou -- and I think you're right that adding the scarf and leather bag to the shiny outfit tone it right down in the most perfect way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it/page/2#post-2293385 Wed, 30 Nov 2022 00:44:49 +0000 Jessikams 2293385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zaeobi I can highly recommend shoe shopping in Taiwan! Unfortunate for my wallet…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it/page/2#post-2293251 Tue, 29 Nov 2022 14:59:24 +0000 Zaeobi 2293251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in both outfits! Nodding my head to the first one in particular though - my brown satin cargo pants were originally a wildcard, but I now love them for many of the same reasons that you listed (I find an elasticated waistband more versatile than a drawstring one, &amp; agree that 'jogger' cuffs are more flattering). So much so, I just bought a pair of bronze satin cargo pants too! No tugging required to be dressy </p> <p>I like how you paired your pants with sequins but dressed it down with sporty sandals - I can imagine them working well with other textures too, like velvet &amp; chiffon. </p> <p>'Funky but comfy' shoes seem to be a prerequisite for interestingly versatile looks - seems you've got that sorted too. Almost makes me want to go shoe shopping in TW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it/page/2#post-2293184 Tue, 29 Nov 2022 03:12:18 +0000 Jaime 2293184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I can't tell you how much I love these! This is exactly the feeling I aim for as well and also the look - interesting and creative but comfortable and at ease! Everything looks just right on you, hair and makeup included! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it/page/2#post-2293174 Tue, 29 Nov 2022 00:25:12 +0000 Jessikams 2293174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES Angie! Your lessons are sinking in! </p> <p>Lesley, too right. I am especially over it when it comes to rises that are too low. I don’t mean a waistband that is too low (though that bugs me too), but rather that crotch seam that digs in when you sit down. Ugh, no thank you! I need some space there….but not too much space or the seam will start to chafe after walking. Harem pants are tricky for that reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293159 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 21:45:49 +0000 Lesley 2293159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, nailed it! Since the pandemic it's like the scales fell from my eyes about uncomfortable clothing. In the rare occasion that I have put my "fancy" stuff on since then, I find myself very often coming right home, taking it off, and putting it right in the giveaway bag (figuratively, I do launder first ). My patience for something that feels fussy is basically nonexistent at this point. I would say I'm in a "reconstruction" phase. It can be awkward at times because I have a lot of fancy occasion holes at the moment, but the payoff is great when you find a piece or put together an outfit that feels so right. And sometimes without even finding a new piece the holes force you into a new creativity with what's left. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293147 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 20:15:21 +0000 rachylou 2293147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Sigh of satisfaction* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293098 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 16:21:40 +0000 Suz 2293098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fantastic on you! I love both outfits and can understand immediately why they appealed and worked for you. I think your analysis of what makes them work is accurate -- you want east with structure, and the pants being nipped at the ankle and showing a bit of skin and the waistline (even if it isn't constricted) is a way of achieving that.&nbsp;</p> <p>That combination of ease with structure is really important to me, also, but the "hows" of getting it in a colder climate are a little different, I suspect. It gets harder to show skin in winter time here, which is one reason that it becomes harder for me to come up with outfits that make me feel great in winter time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293096 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 15:30:51 +0000 Angie 2293096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>&nbsp;"I’ve been trying to pay more attention to how I FEEL in an outfit"&nbsp;<br /></i><br />YES!

The gold joggers are so fun and the linen top is a great shape. Definitely comfort is the most important thing but I can tell you also felt great which is really important too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293077 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 13:01:21 +0000 Jessikams 2293077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Helena you’re right, the silhouette/ fit is similar… I seem to like the feeling of a soft hug at the waist: a nipped-in waist but not too constricting. A “muscle” cut tee or tank top is one of my faves. And the tapered or gathered ankle makes me feel more put together than a flapping wide leg. Interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293075 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 12:45:10 +0000 Dee 2293075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Comfort combined with great style, gotta love it!<br /> Looks like you've cracked the code on this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293069 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 12:30:04 +0000 Helena 2293069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these, and you LOOK at ease, comfortable and confident ... So your feeling at the outfit is shining through imo!</p> <p>These have a similar silhouette, despite the levels of dress ... Is the fit of the pieces similar in terms of feeling? They are a great illustration of "contained volume" to my eye ...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293063 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 12:10:28 +0000 Anonymous 2293063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both these look great- and big yay to dressing up for concerts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293061 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 12:02:32 +0000 Jessikams 2293061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, the big blob is a real danger. For me, I think it helps if the pants nip in a bit at the ankle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293059 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 11:53:41 +0000 kkards 2293059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both outfits. &nbsp; For me the key is that both outfits achieve that elusive loose fit/slim fit, so it’s neither oversized nor body con. &nbsp;Achieving that balance is so much harder than it seems.&nbsp;<div>And I love the sparkles on #1&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293058 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 11:52:23 +0000 Janet 2293058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! I love the ease in these outfits, something I am more interested in lately, but I find it hard to balance ease and flattery for my body type. It’s too easy to fall into a place where I just look a big blob, haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293055 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 11:25:19 +0000 Olive Green 2293055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>“Luxury must be comfortable, or it is not luxury.”<br />Coco Chanel.&nbsp;<br />You are spot on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293053 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 10:39:59 +0000 Synne 2293053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You DO look great! I can really tell that you feel fab in this, interesting how that energy shows through, and makes the outfit (or vibe rather) even better and more elevated. Something for me to ponder! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293052 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 09:06:31 +0000 Sisi 2293052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"<i>What tells you an outfit is a success</i><i></i><i>?</i>" Very interesting question!<br />I know that I feel ok when I am wearing something comfortable (in which, as you say, I can move freely) yet pretty, not too casual, but this is a general concept, now you inspired me to check which are the&nbsp;<b>outfits</b>. Yesterday for example, to visit a friend, I wore a simple black v-neck pullover (enlightened by a silver pendant), dark jeans and white ballet flats. I felt well put together and appropriate. I have to say that, beyond clothes, a swipe of&nbsp;<b>lipstick</b>&nbsp;always has the power of making me feel fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293050 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 08:41:56 +0000 Sal 2293050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfits- but love how confident you felt in them. I think that they captured your style and edge in a very wearable way.</p> <p>I love this feeling - when nothing is fussy and I don’t have to worry about tops riding up or being cold- but still look fun and bold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nailing-it#post-2293049 Mon, 28 Nov 2022 08:24:28 +0000 Jessikams 2293049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One other thing I loved about both outfits: I put them on and immediately felt “I could wear this anywhere, every day!” </p> <p>What about you all? What do you feel that tells you an outfit is a success? </p>
