Brilliant and funny!<br /> I wish I were cool enough to draw inspiration from La Garconne! But, truthfully, I am far too conventional and (dare I admit it) what most here would describe as preppy, for such rarified fashion. Once your closet is sortrd, please show us some Quirky Waif attire, so I can live viaciously! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-essentials-apparently#post-1794771 Wed, 05 Apr 2017 00:11:37 +0000 Author Linda 1794771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting point about white and texture. I never thought of white that way, but... yes!

Because honestly, I hadn't noticed I was relying on them so (!)</p> <p>.... Boy, as I continue with the closet switchout... it's become bloated again. Or is still bloated. Maybe I need some new standards.

I'd love to see a picture how you typically wear them. I used to wear white tees all the time. With everything. Now it's charcoal tees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-essentials-apparently#post-1794502 Tue, 04 Apr 2017 04:20:21 +0000 Barbara Diane 1794502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, I love that last line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-essentials-apparently#post-1794498 Tue, 04 Apr 2017 03:56:53 +0000 rachylou 1794498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, I think they are part of my Alice in Underland capsule (as inspired by <a rel="nofollow" href="https://lagarconne.com/">La Garçonne</a>). I admit my Quirky Waif persona deviates from her professed mainstay, Country Punk, regularly.</p> <p>Jlpp - perhaps your white is ivory? One thing, I note: my white is concentrated in sweaters, which have texture. I rarely wear white tees and bottoms. Also, my whiteout outfits (I took the Angie challenge) have pale-on-pale pattern actually. Plain white doesn't do it for me. I feel like primer coat waiting for the real paint. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-essentials-apparently#post-1794489 Tue, 04 Apr 2017 03:22:48 +0000 Anonymous 1794489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish I could pinpoint why I always feel drab as opposed to fab, in white. Also, I can't keep it clean but that's another story. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-essentials-apparently#post-1794460 Tue, 04 Apr 2017 01:39:15 +0000 Bonnie 1794460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you wear your white sweaters? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-essentials-apparently#post-1794457 Tue, 04 Apr 2017 01:30:00 +0000 Anonymous 1794457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like white sweaters are indeed essentials for you. I need more white jeans than blue or any other color because a couple of pair at are always in the laundry. I have 4 pair that are white or cream. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-essentials-apparently#post-1794452 Tue, 04 Apr 2017 01:15:16 +0000 rachylou 1794452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eh, that maybe why I have so many, Lisa! There's always some being worked over in the wash... but I have to say this: I believe in Carbona stain removers. They are stain specific - oil, coffee, etc. They really work.</p> <p>Torontogirl: I guess I do have a thing for black and white going. Black faux leather leggings, overalls and skirts. A-line skirts. Black jeans/skinnies. I like them with tan bottoms too. And red. Black, tan, white, red... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-essentials-apparently#post-1794439 Tue, 04 Apr 2017 00:31:10 +0000 Helena 1794439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy - how do you style them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/re-essentials-apparently#post-1794437 Tue, 04 Apr 2017 00:29:19 +0000 Anonymous 1794437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How can you keep them clean??

I'm switching out my closet. I have 6-7, not including the white sweater vest, and have been wearing them all. I would not have guessed! I wear blue the least. Probably followed by one peach sweater - but I think about that one a lot. </p> <p>I probably also have as many black sweaters, but they are very different from one another, whereas the white are all straightforward crew neck jumpers.</p> <p>This is weird... </p>
