Clean lines, just enough edge to be really interesting while staying&nbsp;classic and versatile, and the length is perfect for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-inc-angies-layers-formula#post-1108473 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 07:19:23 +0000 krishnidoux 1108473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What cute outfits! Both of these flat booties fit you extremely well, and look very very stylish. As for Angie's formula, I agree, a chambray or a softer shirt in a darker neutral&nbsp;would work better.&nbsp;<br />They are all cute, but my favorites are 1 and 8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-inc-angies-layers-formula#post-1108470 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 07:13:17 +0000 CocoLion 1108470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your pictures with the little one are adorable! &nbsp;And I love your moto style coat, looks great on you.</p> <p>"Modern punk rock Mom" came to mind when I saw your outfits.</p> <p>I think 1-9 all fit in with the edgy/punk look you have. &nbsp;The other two outfits have a more arty feel to them. &nbsp;And 11-12 is sort of right in the middle of these two styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-inc-angies-layers-formula#post-1108461 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 06:44:38 +0000 Debra 1108461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, I really like them all.

You have absolutely honed your style, A. These are the best outfits you have ever posted. You rock your casual style. Well done.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your edge is Cleancut and Fresh. I hereby crown you Queen Fresh Edge.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-inc-angies-layers-formula#post-1107872 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 18:33:14 +0000 Ariadne 1107872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great suggestions, everyone, thanks! &nbsp;kkards, interesting point--you hit on something I've been trying to articulate, which is that I like a bit of edge, but I don't want to look like I'm in costume, since I'm NOT a rock musician or punk-rock anarchist or anything like that, and I don't run in those circles at all either. &nbsp;Preppy is definitely not something I'm going for, but maybe I can find another word that conveys the toned-down aspect more accurately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-inc-angies-layers-formula#post-1107866 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 18:28:34 +0000 Anonymous 1107866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so vibrant and pretty. I love your hair! Of course I love the oufits with the striped sweater--perhaps because I have the same one, lol! Your boots are amazing, as are your jackets--both are so key to creating great looks in wintertime. As for Angie's formula, I really like it with the scarf worn long (why, oh why did I get rid of my leopard scarf before I found a replacement?!) and if your chambray shirt was just a touch longer and darker, it would look exactly like the formula. Lucky you, having all of the other elements to do this look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-inc-angies-layers-formula#post-1107841 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 17:39:39 +0000 Scarlet 1107841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The gap jacket looks wonderful! (And your hair too!) I love 4 and 5. The dress is a great piece. I would play around with accessories more, like maybe try the scarf from the layered outfit? I really like the layered look that you put together, but I think the mesh sweater would look even better here since the layers don’t have much contrast.</p> <p>ETA: so focused on the outfits that I forgot to mention your cutie-patootie of a daughter!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-inc-angies-layers-formula#post-1107830 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 17:31:30 +0000 kkards 1107830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the layered looks in #10 and 11. i think you total nailed that look. i like the dress in #9, but i wonder if it would have looked better with cream or lighter colored tights or maybe a black scarf. something to balance the top and the bottom.</p> <p>i see punk and edgy in your looks, but in a controlled, conservative&nbsp;way….so what keeps running thru my head is preppy punk. (does that make sense?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-inc-angies-layers-formula#post-1107816 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 17:11:18 +0000 FlorenceFearne 1107816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love! Really, really liking your style. You're definitely on the right track with descriptors. I see the edgy/punk and also a lot of clean lines, and a lack of frills and fussiness. I think #3 is my favorite, probably because I love stripes, but #5 is perfect too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Re: the dress in #9, I'm not sure it's too big, but I wonder if you partially feel that way because it's such a big block of a light color. I find that light colors always appear bigger to my eye than dark colors, to the extent that I can buy the same sweater in black 2 sizes larger than what I usually wear, and then I size down to buy it in a lighter shade. The only one I'm not 100% sure of is the combination of camo with the cognac boots in #12/13 and I think that's because I personally have a very low tolerance for cognac - the only way I like it is paired with leopard, as you've done in #10/11, which looks amazing!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-inc-angies-layers-formula#post-1107810 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 17:02:32 +0000 Ariadne 1107810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Suz! &nbsp;#5 is my favourite, too, as is that shade of blue. &nbsp;Those coated jeans saw lots of wear this week. &nbsp;My husband loves them. &nbsp;He loves anything punk/rock influenced.</p> <p>Marley is definitely one of my&nbsp;style inspirations here. I think I favourite most of her threads!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-inc-angies-layers-formula#post-1107809 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 17:01:38 +0000 Suz 1107809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look spectacular in these photos! I really, really love what I am seeing. I agree there is more coherence and a real sense of style coming through -- and I happen to love it! I need to take some cues for you. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>The moto coat looks amazing on you. Such a great silhouette.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm totally in love with #5. Everything about it. The blue of the sweater is superb on you and I also love the boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>I actually love the sweatshirt dress in #9 but am not sure the colour is your best.&nbsp;</p> <p>So cute about your daughter wanting to match.&nbsp;</p> <p>And #10 <b>LOOKS</b> great, but I hear you about bunchy layers. It's practical to layer a lot when travelling but otherwise it doesn't feel that great, or at least it's really difficult to find ways of doing it that are comfortable.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am reminded a bit of Marley's style here. I don't know what you would call it, but it's definitely not tame! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recent-wiws-inc-angies-layers-formula#post-1107805 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 16:54:05 +0000 Ariadne 1107805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found some WIWs on my camera from the past week or so and thought I'd post them. &nbsp;All of these outfits worked well for me--they were comfortable, practical, and felt like "me." I'm not happy with how the photos turned out. &nbsp;I need to work on that!</p> <p>In #3, #4 and #12 I'm wearing the Gap wool moto coat from this season. &nbsp;It doesn't photograph too well. &nbsp;The leather details don't show and it looks better in motion. &nbsp;I like it a lot. &nbsp;It's a nice ink blue.</p> <p>I'm not sure about the James Perse sweatshirt dress in #9. &nbsp;Maybe it's too big? &nbsp;</p> <p>The skull sweater in #8 is one my daughter picked out for me. &nbsp;She has an adorable sugar skull sequined hoodie from Old Navy, and she wanted us to match. ;)</p> <p>#10 is an attempt at Angie's thrown-together casual layers formula. &nbsp;I think it's OK, but not great. &nbsp;In the example pic Angie used, there's more colour contrast with the dark denim shirt and the cognac jacket, and more texture in the white sweater. &nbsp;I'm not one for lots of layers anyway--I&nbsp;think I'd be happier substituting my mesh cream sweater for the white tee and chambray shirt. &nbsp;</p> <p>#13 shows a faux fur vest I got at Forever 21 and am in love with.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I'm starting to develop more coherency in my outfits (you can tell I pretty much wear jeans and pullovers with boots exclusively right now!), but I'm still at a loss for pinning down style descriptors. &nbsp;Simple, edgy, rocker/punk/something, ???&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
