So then I think of fashion terms like versatility, multi-season, multi-purpose, quality, <u>re-mixing</u>, "French" wardrobe, core pieces, and so on.</p> <p>If you use your belt example, a "regular" fashion example might be, I have and wear a lot of belts! A slow fashion example might be, "a belt wardrobe of 4 belts, one skinny and 1 wide, in waist length and hip length, will take care of most of your needs". Or, reversible belts. Or, what makes a belt last. Or even, "belts have more fashion longevity and don't take up much room so you can use them with&nbsp;a core group of&nbsp;__ (tops, bottoms) to keep from getting bored--here are outfits worn with and without a belt to give a totally different look.</p> <p>Other examples, which I like to see on YLF, are, let's take last year's ballet flats and see what/how we can wear them with this year&nbsp; to make them look more modern.</p> <p>With all the hype on oversized and fluid, I like your example and could see next year someone saying, let's see how we can take that boxy knit top&nbsp; you plunked $200 down for and belt it so it is now in style with the NEW more fitted sweater look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-advice-for-blog#post-1177680 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 18:11:00 +0000 rachylou 1177680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like A LOT the digestible, bite-sized bit of wisdom you shared... hourglass shape can get to looking bulky under clothes --&gt; answer cinch at the waist. </p> <p>I also like that you gave the year on your purchases for all sorts of reasons... the likelihood I'd find something similar right now, how things from a specific time in the past can travel well into the future...</p> <p>And of course, visuals! Nothing explains like visuals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-advice-for-blog#post-1177577 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 16:43:02 +0000 Sunee 1177577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All great advice, thanks!</p> <p>I'll admit that I got the idea after talking to other stylists / style bloggers so I wasn't as much thinking about advice as just sharing how I wear the same things in different ways and providing inspiration for slow fashion.&nbsp;</p> <p>The truth is that I wouldn't necessarily encourage people to copy the looks as much since I really think people should learn what works best on them and I am a rather unusual size / shape combination.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a lot more thinking to do now about what my goal really is!<br />Thanks for helping me focus. You have no idea how important that is!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-advice-for-blog#post-1176065 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:18:40 +0000 Liz 1176065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right now, this looks like a style blogger post (look at what<i> I </i>wore) and not a stylist's post (look at what <i>you</i> can wear).&nbsp;If the goal is to help the reader learn how to style her own items in different ways, it would be helpful to have some kind of explanation of what you have done in the two different outfits and how I can do something similar with my outfits.&nbsp;</p> <p>And it&nbsp;would be more practical if you'd choose a more ordinary belt, the kind most women are likely to have in their closets. That belt is an outfit maker/style statement on its own, and I'm guessing very few women have belts like that in their closets.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-advice-for-blog#post-1176044 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 12:55:43 +0000 Anonymous 1176044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sunee -- the link would not open. &nbsp;I am still interested though. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-advice-for-blog#post-1176042 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 12:54:49 +0000 Anonymous 1176042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have time today to comment, but I look forward to following your blog and will comment at a later time (if anything strikes me). &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-advice-for-blog#post-1175919 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 05:04:24 +0000 anne 1175919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. I agree with what Adelfa said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-advice-for-blog#post-1175918 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 05:03:10 +0000 Adelfa 1175918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pics, love the outfits. I think one thing I look for in a fashion blog is explanation and analysis. So in this post you could have talked about belting volume over volume looks vs relatively trim, streamlined looks. Or something. More words to go with the lovely pics!</p> <p>I can tell your outfits will be worth looking at. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-advice-for-blog#post-1175896 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 04:31:04 +0000 Sunee 1175896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,&nbsp;<br />I just started a new section of my blog and wanted to get some comments from the community. Only the first post has gone up yet.&nbsp;<br />I'm working on helping people learn how best to style what they already have and encourage a move toward&nbsp;slow fashion.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://to-love-style.com/2014/02/22/belted/">http://to-love-style.com/2014/02/22/belted/</a></p> <p>Please leave me open, constructive, and honest criticism.
