I think this looks great and current on you - now and in 2014! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-2014-and-it-still-works-for-me/page/2#post-2031519 Fri, 31 May 2019 16:38:41 +0000 Lucy 2031519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fabulous then and now!

I love the black/blue/white palette.<br /> I admit I am about blind to “ that is so 2012” of whatever and since I am a slow- adopter ( but DO evolve) I am likely wearing things for first time that may have been trendy a few years ago. </p> <p>I try to mitigate that by choosing new things that I really like and feel “ like me” and can create a cohesive outfit, and hope for the best!</p> <p>I think that the proportions , textures and contrasts in your outfit are really good, and so that trumps any particular “ year’s item”. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-2014-and-it-still-works-for-me#post-2031185 Thu, 30 May 2019 11:30:39 +0000 StyleDetective 2031185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who needs trendy when you have stylish YLF, in 2014 and 2019.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-2014-and-it-still-works-for-me#post-2031164 Thu, 30 May 2019 09:30:56 +0000 Mainelady 2031164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What RainB and Sisi said!

You look fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-2014-and-it-still-works-for-me#post-2031144 Thu, 30 May 2019 04:39:55 +0000 Suz 2031144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all. I agree with <b>Janet</b> -- these shorts really are beyond trends, sort of like harem pants lite or something. I still get compliments on them all the time. I wear them more in Vancouver than I wore them in Ontario -- weather permits polyester more often. I like that they don't wrinkle. I used to bring them on work trips when I worked for the fitness company.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LaPed,</b> those are great updating suggestions. Taupe is pretty much "my" earth colour (well, with hits of cognac in accessories). I don't think I'd enjoy an oversized demin jacket, but never say never, right? Oddly enough, after reading reviews of the Mephisto Lissandra here on another thread, I was gawking at platform sandals half the morning. So maybe I will invest in at least *one* new trend this season.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie,</b> hmmm, long blazer! I don't actually have one, as you know, but I do have one that is long "for me" and I've never tried it with these shorts. Great idea!&nbsp;</p> <p>It's really amazing to me how many great purchases I've made since coming to YLF. It's harder to edit my closet than it used to be, because I'm so much better at picking what works!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-2014-and-it-still-works-for-me#post-2031127 Thu, 30 May 2019 02:46:44 +0000 Anonymous 2031127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The staying power of great items that are fringe trends.

Those shorts are indeed timeless , and I’m so happy you still have them ! I don’t think a trendy look suits everyone- you have great personal style that works so well for you . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-2014-and-it-still-works-for-me#post-2031121 Thu, 30 May 2019 01:57:46 +0000 taylor 2031121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is why staple items are worth investing in!<br /> A good denim jacket really never dates, a neutral shoe and a classic style bag !<br /> You look fabulous and ever so stylish ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-2014-and-it-still-works-for-me#post-2031120 Thu, 30 May 2019 01:57:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2031120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lately I find myself wondering why we value looking trendy. If so, why do we ooh and aah over what Audrey wore in the 50s. Timeless elegance and authentic, signature style is always a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-2014-and-it-still-works-for-me#post-2031103 Thu, 30 May 2019 01:09:07 +0000 MsMaven 2031103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Works for me as well. Look at it this way--you are a careful and clever shopper. </p>
