When I found YLF I pretty much jumped right in and started to post outfits, but looking back a lot of them were pretty awful. Same for the things I did buy in the beginning. But it really helped to get a better feeling for the way things should look and why some things look off on me. I definitely learned that here - it wasn't something I had a good eye for, before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-1-2#post-1388913 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 21:34:36 +0000 Deborah 1388913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great look Astrid and very you.

Well done on the challenge and go Team Stripes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-1-2#post-1388499 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 13:53:30 +0000 PalmFronds 1388499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All " basic" looks should be so out together! Looks simple, chic and pulled together nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-1-2#post-1388485 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 13:41:32 +0000 Suz 1388485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, Breton stripes and a peacoat can never be wrong in my book. Glad you posted this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-1-2#post-1388470 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 13:21:19 +0000 Jaime 1388470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The semi-tuck looks great. Basic but not boring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-1-2#post-1388469 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 13:20:33 +0000 Anonymous 1388469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I can steal the word cute from ABC.. you do indeed look cute! I like the Breton stripes and peacoat topper very much. A fab starting outfit for the challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-1-2#post-1388450 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 12:51:21 +0000 Astrid 1388450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks abc! And yes, I agree with everything you said. Looking at this acutally shows me that even with a simple outfit there has been quite the development compared to five years ago, when I wore looks like this almost exlusively.</p> <p>Neel, definitely. You know, I think if we worked on improving our very basic looks we would increase the happiness with our wardrobe a lot. And I'm the same on the semi tuck, I never would have done that before YLF - now I don't even think about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-1-2#post-1388446 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 12:41:34 +0000 Neel 1388446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny how posting our super real outfits actually makes us think of wardrobe holes, isn't it? &nbsp;:) &nbsp;Simple, chic, comfy is the order of the day. &nbsp;What's not to love about that?</p> <p>Psst ... Did you notice the little semi tuck thing happening there? Yep, this is what I like to call the Angie Autopilot Mode .... I never semi tucked before YLF! &nbsp;But now even our super real outfits implement the fashion trend rules .... so to speak!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-1-2#post-1388442 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 12:28:10 +0000 abc 1388442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look pulled together and presentable and dare I say cute. I see nothing wrong with this. I love seeing real world examples and not just the shiny pretty wiw examples. They're all nice to see don't get me wrong but to know others dress "normally" on a day to day basis helps me feel more ok with my average outfits. I love this challenge </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-1-2#post-1388439 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 12:22:39 +0000 Astrid 1388439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last week, Cocolion (Denise) suggested a challenge for those who wish to post more wiw's <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/post-more-wiws-challenge----care-to-join-next-week" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-next-week</a>.</p> <p>Here's my contribution to the first challenge. I totally forgot about this, so the look is "keeping it real" for sure. Very basic and maybe a bit boring, but I got dressed to be comfortable at home today and to run some small errands, nothing more. I would never have posted this otherwise, but it is kind of interesting to see. This would be the kind of outfit I could use a new pair of shoes for, actually. </p> </p>
