Curse of the short waist. The sweater I did wear was a nice length without tucking. When I'm back from yet more travel, I'll see what else I have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976255 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 15:32:07 +0000 Angie 1976255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Christina</b>, the patterns themselves gel well. The silhouette of the top is the challenge with the skirt. Too long - as you mentioned.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976238 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 15:04:18 +0000 Christina F. 1976238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks, Jussie, delurked, and shevia. You ladies are sweet.</div><div><br /></div><div>Suz, I do love fashion, which is why my wardrobe has been my hobby for the past couple of years. I think I need a new hobby for a bit, since it's in good shape. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>And thank you - Mr. C will be fine, but he's bummed out. He liked this job and they liked them, but his clients made some cuts. Advertising is fickle like that, but there aren't too many people in strategy at his level, so something will turn up.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Same to you on Boden reviews! I will have a few more next week (two skirts, a dress and a top). I've decided can keep the items I like from this order, plus the J Crew items from the other day. But if packages keep showing up after that, Mr. C will give me the puppy dog eyes. I have to focus on holiday gifts, anyway.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Sarah - yes, I'm sure the star sweater and tulle skirt will be great together. I try to build my wardrobe so that most of it will go together, anyway. I liked this skirt because it's not quite so poofy as other tulle skirts. You should definitely break yours out - the holidays are a great time!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976101 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 03:32:04 +0000 SarahD8 1976101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic set of outfits! You do a great job adding interest with tops. I am taking notes.</p> <p>I want to see the star sweater with the tulle skirt! Would that work?</p> <p>I thrifted a tulle skirt a couple months ago and have been meaning to wear it for everyday. You are giving me courage! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976098 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 03:17:37 +0000 Suz 1976098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are terrific outfits. I love your smile. It always conveys such delight in the fun of fashion! And it's great that you are enjoying your gorgeous wardrobe. </p> <p>Especially considering the fact that you are under stress. So sorry to hear about Mr. C's job.&nbsp;</p> <p>Meanwhile, I concur with everyone here that you look amazing in the long skirts. And I'm so grateful for your Boden reviews.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976094 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 02:56:16 +0000 Jaime 1976094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great all around and the skirts are terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976074 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 01:45:35 +0000 delurked 1976074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree the Boden skirt is tempting. Also the green loft top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976059 Wed, 21 Nov 2018 00:49:52 +0000 jussie 1976059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m loving the skirts on you too :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976053 Tue, 20 Nov 2018 23:48:14 +0000 Christina F. 1976053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>smittie - the Boden skirt is great. I could have sized down, but since skirts often sit too high on my rib cage, I decided to keep this with a bit of ease so it falls a little below my natural (very high) waist. For most I’d recommend trying a size down. I felt great in it. Wonderful swoosh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976052 Tue, 20 Nov 2018 23:46:22 +0000 Christina F. 1976052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Aquamarine! The dark colors are required, or my New Yorker card gets revoked! I don’t go in for unrelieved black like some people do, though. </p> <p>Angie and Bonnie - I’m glad the skirt outfits work. It was an area of struggle for me for so long. Angie, this is the pattern mix I tried to do today, but the Breton wouldn’t tuck nicely into the skirt (it pulled the stripes out of line a bit, if that makes sense). I’ve had this problem with tucking striped tops before. I’m kind of a tucking neophyte, to be honest. It didn’t look right untucked either—too long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976051 Tue, 20 Nov 2018 23:45:07 +0000 Anonymous 1976051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fun Christina! I like the long skirts on you. I like the simplicity of 4. I think I just like straight lines on everybody. I’ve been eyeing that black boden skirt for a while now. Very tempting. It looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976049 Tue, 20 Nov 2018 23:41:19 +0000 Bonnie 1976049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All cute outfits but my favorites are the skirt outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976045 Tue, 20 Nov 2018 23:20:31 +0000 Angie 1976045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo <b>Torontogirl</b>. Lots of variety in colour, styling and silhouette. I'm loving the skirt outfits. #3 and #4 are my faves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976042 Tue, 20 Nov 2018 23:13:54 +0000 Aquamarine 1976042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great collection of sweaters and skirts! You’re in NYC, yes? You have to wear dark colors LOL....it’s a rule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1976000 Tue, 20 Nov 2018 20:51:47 +0000 Christina F. 1976000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, thanks torontogirl. I need a lot of variety, or I get bored, but I also need to not scramble in the mornings. I try to plan outfits, but sometimes what I pictured doesn't work and I need that FFBO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1975994 Tue, 20 Nov 2018 20:36:23 +0000 Helena 1975994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a terrific selection of tops and your easy uniform doesn't look uniformish in the least! Love these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/random-recent-wiw%e2%80%99s#post-1975992 Tue, 20 Nov 2018 20:33:45 +0000 Christina F. 1975992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some outfits not covered by what I posted about my Spain trip. Some from before, some after. </p> <p>As I posted elsewhere, I failed at shopping my closet in November because I did buy stuff this week, though technically I’ve worn none of it yet. As you will see below, I did rescue some pieces from my list of items I was unsure about keeping, thanks to shopping my closet, so it's not a total loss as a challenge. I will continue doing so, because...</p> <p>My husband was let go from his job. He was expecting this due to restructuring, but it happened before he had anything else in place. He got good severance and his skills are in demand, so I’m not worried. But he’s worried, so no more shopping for the moment. I believe he’ll have something else in place by the new year, and I'm still gainfully employed, so we will be fine, but I know he'll feel better if we exercise more frugality in the interim.</p> <p>On to the outfits!</p> <p>1. Anthro skirt - one of three fun skirts I added this fall so far. </p> <p>2. Boden sweater </p> <p>3. Other new fun skirt, from Boden. LOVE. </p> <p>4. BR tulle skirt with Naturalizer booties </p> <p>5. I rescued this jacket by shopping my closet. I don’t favor grey anymore, especially as a topper color. But it turns out I still like this Caslon topper from a couple of years ago, anyway. It was a workhorse in Spain. </p> <p>6. Older J Crew top and AT sweater. </p> <p>7. Casual look the day I flew, which was unusually warm (I worked from home before going to the airport and wore this to run errands)</p> <p>8. New Boden sweater </p> <p>9. Boden sweater from last year; still in GREAT shape. No pilling. </p> <p>10. My new puffer coat’s first airing!</p> <p>11. New BR sweate. </p> <p>12. This top from LOFT was rescued from the chopping block as well, thanks to shopping my closet. I realized I like how it looks on me, since the bottom gathers nicely and the top makes my shoulders look wider. Not sure why I don’t reach for it more, but I will try to rectify that. </p> <p>13. Another LOFT top</p> <p>14. Older Boden top</p> <p>I think my winter style works with multiple fun tops paired with my workhorse dark bottoms. I will pull out my white jeans soon for variety, as well as trying to wear my weather appropriate dresses and skirts more. Today’s outfit notwithstanding (#3), I need color in the winter! </p>
