Yes, Mr. T definitely has some terrier in him--he is full of attitude :)! BJ1111, it was really good, overall, to go back to campus. The nicest part was catching up more informally with a few colleagues after the meeting, when we went outside, took off our masks, and were able to talk comfortably and catch up a bit. I start teaching next week, so we shall see how that goes! Sarah, I will try to start a thread sometime soon-ish (you know how the beginning of the AY can be--hectic!). rachylou on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11/page/2#post-2219434 Fri, 27 Aug 2021 04:01:22 +0000 rachylou 2219434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh! Pure Fab! bj1111 on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11/page/2#post-2219272 Thu, 26 Aug 2021 16:56:24 +0000 bj1111 2219272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooo…your clogs game is strong! And we are navy blue clog twins. How was it going back? sarah on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11/page/2#post-2219245 Thu, 26 Aug 2021 14:38:38 +0000 sarah 2219245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would love that sort of thread. But of course you should only start it if it's interesting and useful to you, too. "How to shop for quality when time and budget are limited". Or something like that. lyn67 on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11/page/2#post-2219215 Thu, 26 Aug 2021 12:20:02 +0000 lyn67 2219215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Really, when somebody has such a gorgeous hair, you can wear whatever you have clean:-) and still look killer gorgeous! Anyway, love your outfits here-  clogs make for another  statement I see in your personal  style and  the patterned one is quite unique!! YLF!! CocoLion on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11/page/2#post-2219185 Thu, 26 Aug 2021 04:53:05 +0000 CocoLion 2219185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great to see you again! My favorite aspect of your style is the ease of everything.  Even though I know it takes work to achieve an easy, not-trying-too-hard look.  So - respect.  My favorite is #5, I guess I'm an outlier but the skirt feels fresh to me and the fit is perfect. Bijou on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11/page/2#post-2219177 Thu, 26 Aug 2021 04:09:13 +0000 Bijou 2219177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Mr T looks like he has some terrier in him and makes for a perfect Paddingtug! Your outfits are superb and thank you for posting the shorts outfit. Your clogs really work so well for your style and I am especially loving the snakeskin version. TRR is such a treasure trove of amazing pieces and it is wonderful to recycle gently worn designer pieces. Isabelle Marant makes gorgeous pieces and they look stunning on you. I can't pick a favourite because they are all so good. Thank you for providing this summer style inspiration. Jonesy on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11/page/2#post-2219082 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 21:48:12 +0000 Jonesy 2219082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you, everyone! I see that Mr. T is the true star of this thread! If anyone is still reading this, another bonus pic of Mr. T (whose name is Tug) in a photoshopped Paddington image compliments of my 19 year old, who hasn't gone back to college for fall yet and has lots of their time on their hands, LOL! Yes, Angie, he is sweet, mischievous, and curious! Thanks for all of the love for #4--as I mentioned in my reply to Angie, I tend to wear darker colors (with lighter colors layered underneath in fall and winter), so it's interesting that this outfit jumps out to several of you. I am starting to add in more white and cream stand-alone pieces, but black, navy, and charcoal gray still dominate, especially for bottoms. The silk pants are one of my favorite colors, and I've been trying to build a capsule in that color (kind of an admiral blue or petrol blue, hard to pin down at retail!) but it's hard to find.  I have more time tonight to reply to everyone (if anyone is still following along...): Firecracker, Kelly, and Star, thanks for the clog love! They definitely evoke the 70s in my mind too! Thanks, SF, I guess I'm not the only one without style words or a moniker around here :). PreppyPear, Kkards, and Jenn, thanks for the shout out for #1 and #2. It's interesting what resonates most with people, from a range of looks. I know I can't always articulate which looks I love and why when others post their WIWs, but it's fun to try to puzzle it out, you know? Shevia, high five to my TRR sister! I would love a tour of your treasures sometime, if you have a moment! Suz, you should absolutely wear your clogs outside of the house! Maybe take them for a spin on the driveway and see how they handle the concrete :)? Brooklyn, thanks so much for the Chloe-related compliment!--I can see that Chloe sensibility in your style, actually! I have a couple of See by Chloe pieces (a pair of patchwork jeans that are quite low-rise but I'm keeping for sentimental reasons, and a silk skirt) and almost nabbed a Chloe silk blouse on TRR, but just missed out. Sarah, it's so great to see you post! I would love to oblige you and talk about how I search for and find good stuff (within time constraints and size challenges, as you mention), though I'm not sure I would have anything novel to say that others haven't already articulated... I could reply here or start another thread? (and maybe other shoppers could chime in with their own tips and "lessons learned," if I started a new thread; maybe I'll do that!) sarah on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11/page/2#post-2219050 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 20:45:19 +0000 sarah 2219050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, real clothes! It must be great to be interacting with actual people. I am consistently impressed by your ability to identify nicer pieces and put them together in simple, but interesting ways. You pay a lot of attention to quality. I think I would be happier if I took that approach - finding key quality pieces that make me really happy, as opposed to more pieces that don't make me quite so happy. Not sure that makes any sense at all, but I'd be curious to hear your approach to shopping. I feel at once overwhelmed (not enough time) and boxed in (needing to look mostly for petite sizing). If you have the time to share your approach, that would be so interesting! kkards on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11/page/2#post-2218990 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 17:10:17 +0000 kkards 2218990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, you got much more dressed up then i did for my 1st in person meetings a couple of weeks ago…i wore joggers and a knit shirt with a denim jacket…. YLF. #1 is my fav, the proportions are fab, the colors, texture and patterns are great  Stagiaire Fash on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11/page/2#post-2218963 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 15:38:37 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2218963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Brocade, you say? How did I miss that? I lurv it! And those pants! I’m with you on not having style words. I think the closest thing to a style moniker is “looks like me”. Jenn on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11/page/2#post-2218962 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 15:26:41 +0000 Jenn 2218962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Realized I didn't list a favorite. It's #2 for me. (And yeah, I felt compelled to add that, because no one else is giving it any love.) Angie on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11#post-2218951 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 14:10:12 +0000 Angie 2218951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jonesy, Mr. T is PRECIOUS. What a beautiful photo! He looks like a sweetie wrapped up in curiosity and mischief :) I'm not alone in loving #4, and your hair loves humidity! Thanks for the kind words too. Brooklyn on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11#post-2218913 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 10:29:50 +0000 Brooklyn 2218913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it all. No 4 is my favourite. Fantastic subtle pattern mix. Your hair adds texture and ease to your look. I was wondering as I looked at your pics what your style moniker is, and I see you’ve addressed it in the comments. I see a sort of French bohemian style. Casual Chloe. I mean that as a big compliment because I LOVE Chloe. Preppy Pear on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11#post-2218908 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 09:47:29 +0000 Preppy Pear 2218908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love it ALL but my favorite might be #1. That top is amazing! You look perfect for campus-ing. Star (Lise) on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11#post-2218900 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 09:01:55 +0000 Star (Lise) 2218900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jonesy, I have never seen your style before and I love it!  A little similar to mine but way better.  I see confidence, put together outfits all in a very natural uncontrived way.  5 & 6 are my outfit favourites.  The snake print clogs are too die for - I love them!  Navy ones are very nostalgic for me, I had the same pair in 1978/79 (when I was 12/13 yrs).   Your hair is rock-star fabulous.  I know all about frizzy hair that will not comply in  humidity but yours looks stunning.  I think the length makes it work so well.  Lastly, your doggy is Adorable!  Such a cute face and cool hairstyle too :) Suz on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11#post-2218894 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 04:19:54 +0000 Suz 2218894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OK, once I get over swooning over your pup, I can tell you how much I love that Helmut Lang top (amazing cut and pattern) and the brocade pants. And how much I adore outfit #4. Just wow! I really love a subtle pattern mix like that, and the clogs are great! The shirt gives the sense of texture as much as pattern. Really cool with your hair.  You are making me think maybe I should dare to wear my clogs outside the house! I got a pair as house shoes and I know they are popular right now, but I wasn't sure I'd be comfortable with all the walking I do. Love them for inside, but just didn't know how they'd feel on pavement.  kellygirl on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11#post-2218887 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 04:05:06 +0000 kellygirl 2218887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Casual elegance is exactly what I see. So gorgeous, Jonesy! I love the tonal look in 4--those colors glow on you! Love the cool pattern in 1 and the contrast jacket in 2. You have such a good eye and great fashion sense. Awesome clog style too! You are my clog muse!  Your pup is adorable too! Oh and killer boho lite skirt outfit in 5--that one knocks it out of the park too! Firecracker (Sharan) on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11#post-2218885 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 03:59:10 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2218885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <div>I admire the casual elegance of all of these outfits. Especially #4, which looks so luxe, with the drape and subtle pattern mixing. Your clog collection is envious--they reflect a range of moods here. </div><div>And I'm swooning over Mr T. He looks like a charmer. </div> Jaime on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11#post-2218873 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 01:59:21 +0000 Jaime 2218873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a treat (as always) Jonesy! Love your mixes and and choice of bags and shoes. And hair! Am staring into Mr. T's eyes looking for the answer to it all.  Although I am short to your tall I also love to go for patterned tops (#5 is my favorite among favorites) with interesting bottoms (no shorts for me though). As a matter a fact I brought home a few from TRR myself .  Am studying your silhouettes for inspiration, especially #3.  Jonesy on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11#post-2218866 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 00:29:18 +0000 Jonesy 2218866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks so much, everyone! It's interesting to hear the different adjectives people use, e.g., edgy, casual luxe, laid-back. I don't put much effort into defining my style using monikers or labels, so this is fascinating for me.  I appreciate the comments about colors, patterns, prints, etc. I really enjoy playing around with these elements, so it's nice to get positive feedback! Thanks for the hair love! It's been insanely humid here lately, so my hair is bigger and frizzier than usual (and I had wet down the right side to try to "re-activate" the curls on that side before I took these pics, so all I can see when I look at them is that my hair looks lopsided and stringy on that side, LOL), so I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for the clog love! I love boots and booties, but of course they aren't that practical for the summer. So I was happy to discover this particular brand of clogs that works well for my feet, and gives me a similar vibe (at least in my mind to booties and boots. But I am eagerly awaiting cooler fall temps! Viva, Mr. T is a mixed breed, about 30 pounds. He was a rescue and has been so wonderful to have around during these months of lockdown! Extra bonus pic below :). Angie, thanks so much for your detailed response--I love getting your feedback! It's funny to me that you zeroed in on #4, the outfit that is most outside of my comfort zone, since I tend to default to lots of moody, dark colors :). I like how you consistently (and kindly) nudge people to explore and expand their style over time. I love the Rails jacket! I have a second one in an olive with a star print as well--they are great for layering in warmer weather. Didn't realize they were a top pick, but I can see why! Maybe someday when I have a few weeks to kill I will put everything on Finds...

My favourite is the denim skirt look - but really they are all excellent. You have a casual elegant style that I admire - put together but in a very relaxed way!

Like how you style the sleeves of tops with a roll/scrunch. Awesome hair Angie on "Recent WIWs" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-11#post-2218777 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 19:37:14 +0000 Angie 2218777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ SOOO fun to see you post again, Jonesy.....and with stylish Mr.T too :) Queen Clogs and Queen Pattern Mix never disappoints! KILLER all round, and your hair is sublime! Longer and more dramatic. Suits you! I love the shorter tops with the relaxed yet dressy pants! Very flattering and elegant combinations. The ease and confidence of your style bounces off the screen! #4 is my absolute best! KILLER to the Power of KILLER. The palette and pattern mixing is just sooo gorgeous with your hair! The shine of the bag is the glam touch on top. I've noticed that we enjoy our tops and bottoms to fit in a similarly fluid way with just enough tailoring. HIGH FIVE. Good luck with teaching in person again. It's quite the adjustment. p.s. The Rails jacket is a top pick. Fun to see it on you!

It’s particularly great with patterns like your top in 1,2,3,5,6. I particularly like your jeans skirt outfit, but all of these are great. They aren’t forced OUTFITS, but good pieces that fit you and each other well, and just fall into place just right.
