I love how much of an impact those small changes have. I experiment with this all the time, and some things stick with me and others do not; since they're small changes, they don't take a lot of commitment and are easy to either change back or plunge forward. I feel like everything since my "style epiphany" has been going down this path (a little too slowly for my taste!) but the major ones I'm happy with have been: swapping a lot of my black for white/gray this spring and summer, wearing lip tint then moving into brighter lipsticks, and most recently trying to take what I learned from the art challenge and bring it into my daily outfits (less matching, more pattern mixing, etc). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-365730 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 13:35:26 +0000 Lisa 365730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My latest change has been to rotate my handbags more often. There's no point in me having more than one if I won't use them. I put my summer bags within easy access and am already using them all more often now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-365661 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 03:28:47 +0000 yellowgirl 365661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Marley! What a fabulous idea! I have some vintage brooches that I love, but rarely wear. I love wearing bracelets, though, so that's a perfect solution! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-365655 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 03:16:56 +0000 Marley 365655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of the things for me was wearing pearls. I had always associated them with more conservative kinds of style - and when I saw the knots and the loops and the double/triple wraps, it just opened up a whole new world for me! Now, I wear them without even thinking twice - lately my favorite look is attaching a brooch and wearing them as a bracelet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-365593 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:57:40 +0000 yellowgirl 365593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me, it was dresses! This summer is the first time I've worn a dress in probably about a decade. I just never thought I could do them before, so I didn't even try. Come to find out, I love wearing dresses, and my husband finds it incredibly sexy. Who knew???? Let's just say we're both fans of this little change! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-365592 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:56:57 +0000 Debora 365592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great thread! I agree with Jonesy that looking at my photos was a real eye-opener. It helps so much with determining the proportions of an outfit. I keep a YLF folder on my computer with all the photos I post so I can go back over what works and what doesn't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-365589 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 00:52:08 +0000 Angie 365589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Good stuff ladies!</p> <p>For me it was wearing fewer accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-365542 Sun, 12 Jun 2011 22:15:28 +0000 taylor 365542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You said a mouthful! It is the little tweaks that make the biggest impact:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-365481 Sun, 12 Jun 2011 19:21:36 +0000 Sara L. 365481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can understand a little. I started wearing scarves for the first time last winter and it opened up so many possibilities with my existing wardrobe. Such a simple accessory to completely change the way I viewed my clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-364569 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:59:14 +0000 Jonesy 364569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Looking at pictures of myself has facilitated a big change for me in terms of my perception of my body. I used to feel like my chest was super-huge, but now I can see objectively that it pretty much corresponds to the rest of my body and doesn't really look out of proportion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-364539 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:18:05 +0000 mrseccentric 364539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>alaskagirl, i agree so much! for me it was wearing whole looks composed solely of pieces i'd always considered 'background' (plainer clothing without much detail) - no 'frosting', as it were. it really helped me to expand my range into casual and more 'modern' looks that had formerly been beyond my grasp. i tried this as part of a challenge, working just with my existing wardrobe, and what i learned was completely unintentional - it definitely surprised me!</p> <p>small changes in hair and makeup can make big differences - and hair and makeup are crucial to personal style. i'm glad you're expanding your style spectrum and having fun doing it!! steph </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-364532 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:03:35 +0000 Auburn 364532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I love it! I clicked on this post with NO idea that I'd get a shout out--how fab!<br /> And I've been completely remiss in not commenting on the lighter lip you've featured in recent pics. I think it looks fresh and youthful. Kudos to you for being willing to step outside your comfort zone a bit and take a suggestion from a total stranger! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-364531 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:02:30 +0000 rae 364531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I felt this way the first time I used blush. </p> <p>I'm doing the opposite of you right now and trying out brighter lips... not convinced I like it, but it's fun to branch out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-364528 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 16:58:23 +0000 Mo 364528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes - getting my white watch. Now, all of a sudden accessories have burst into full color for me. In my head, anyway. I haven't translated it to purchases quite yet besides my purple crossbody bag and thin red belt. I always kind of wondered at the idea that you can change up an outfit with accessories. Seeing as how 95% of mine are all the same tone, no wonder I couldn't quite figure that out. Now I'm actually thinking in terms of buying a red cashmere scarf instead of a red velvet or cord jacket. Ta da! Progress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-364526 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 16:54:17 +0000 chewyspaghetti 364526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often feel like the small changes make the biggest differences. I have been experimenting with make up a lot recently, and that makes a huge difference to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/small-change-big-step-anyone-have-these-moments#post-364523 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 16:52:11 +0000 catgirl 364523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to Auburn, I 've switched to wearing lighter lipcolors. I was surprised that it was so hard to do; I think it was one of my "fears" along the theme that NancyLee raised. It's a small change, but for me it was a big step and a gateway to a different look for me.</p> <p>Anyone else try a small change and feel a huge difference? </p>
