I'm going to put on all my essential running gear and get in 3 miles to clear my head lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parse-out-the-wiw-components#post-1378570 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 20:10:34 +0000 Mo 1378570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. &nbsp;I don't typically wear prints, so perhaps to me a plaid IS a statement. &nbsp;Must ruminate . . .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parse-out-the-wiw-components#post-1378568 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 20:07:13 +0000 bj1111 1378568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I agree with Una. The outfit makes a statement with essentials. Unless the plaid is a statement, since it's not your usual style.</p> <p>Can a statement become an essential if your style /lifestyle evolved? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parse-out-the-wiw-components#post-1378566 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 20:05:51 +0000 catgirl 1378566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes that's definitely one of the grey areas for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parse-out-the-wiw-components#post-1378565 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 19:56:04 +0000 Mo 1378565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no idea . . . ha ha.&nbsp;&nbsp;Funny how we&nbsp;have different ideas about statement lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parse-out-the-wiw-components#post-1378564 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 19:53:54 +0000 catgirl 1378564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the booties are the only statement item but all together the pieces are a low impact statement. Not screaming LOOK AT ME! but eye-catching. Does that make any sense? Are there levels of statement? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parse-out-the-wiw-components#post-1378560 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 19:39:31 +0000 Mo 1378560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they may be essentials but since I had never worn them before that day, it's hard to think of a brand new item in that terminology?<br />I did buy them with the idea of them pulling together a lot of things, not as an item to showboat on their own. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/parse-out-the-wiw-components#post-1378559 Sat, 18 Oct 2014 19:31:21 +0000 Mo 1378559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this to a clothing swap/cocktail party at a GF's house Thursday. &nbsp;Sorry I don't have a proper WIW&nbsp;pic of the outfit itself. &nbsp;I wanted to wear my new flannel so that was what the outfit was built around. &nbsp;Debated the lilac booties but went with the black for more cohesiveness (although I took them off at the door not to be worn the rest of the night lol). &nbsp;<br />I knew the flannel wouldn't be on for long indoors, either. &nbsp;I originally was thinking of a black tee but thought the raspberry would add more 'oomph' against the black and white ensemble. A white cami was so I could try on tops easily without fully changing and as a logical underlayer for the low cowl neck. &nbsp;<br />Now . . . what is essential, what is statement? &nbsp;;) &nbsp;&nbsp;<br />I think the flannel is a statement, but I also think the raspberry tee is a statement. &nbsp;The white jeans are essential. &nbsp;The cami is a basic. &nbsp;The booties - I have no idea lol. &nbsp; </p>
