Please keep us posted on your progress and how the process works best for you. I'm working my way through the pants one at a time since I have way fewer pants than tops. Two things I've learned so far: I tried to speed up the process a bit by leaving off the jewelry halfway through the second day. Turns out not a single outfit looked "put together" to me, so I had to do those over to decide if the entire outfit was really a keeper or not. Second, I either make a weird face, get distracted or close my eyes every time the camera goes off. Rather than let that derail a picture, I decided to just crop my head off in all of them so my focus is on the outfit. I have mine separated into 3 files: Yes, No way, and Maybe (with some tweaking). The No way file is by far the largest right now. Good luck!

During my vacation I’m planning to go back through and reread all of your recent posts and try some of these things myself. My favorite of your faves is #1. It’s absolutely perfect as is. #3 looks severe to me as well. I think it’s because I’ve grown used to seeing you in lighter colors. A splash of color might take #s 4 and 5 up a notch. #6 is lovely with the necklace, and would also look tres chic with a scarf. carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1119683 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 20:48:36 +0000 carter 1119683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LACeleste, you are so sweet! Thank you. Karymk, thanks! The taupe pair is from Chico's. They're not available anymore. The purple pair is the same as the black pair. Those are the Perfect Form Full Length Pants from WHBM. The purple pair is in the sale section now. I don't see the black ones available anymore, but I found off-white last night and ordered them. The coat in #1 is Tahari. I found it at Saks. karymk on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1119563 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 17:44:26 +0000 karymk 1119563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Carter you fox! I love all these looks. Tell me about those pants! Is the taupe pair the same as the plum? They fit you soooo well.  And what is the coat in number uno? I have one in the same color from BR but it's not as nice as yours...

I adore the coat in #1; it's sensational on you. What Angie said about #5 -- depends what you want. To me it reads retro.  carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1119337 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 04:32:10 +0000 carter 1119337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'll give it a shot, Aubergine.

I share the love for #1 and also am a big fan of the nubbly turquoise jacket in #2. I love the pants in #3, but agree with Gracie that it seems maybe a little dark and severe compared to some of the other looks. Could it work with the jacket open to show off more of the light cream of the top under it? carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1119326 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 04:12:13 +0000 carter 1119326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beth Ann, I was thinking about the purple pants with the gold jacket earlier. I will try it this weekend, maybe with a white button down. I don't have anything mid-brown or navy, but I will dig through my current options. I have a black and white coat that may work better than the dark brown. I also have a black and white jacket, but it's not my fave. I'll try it though. I'll keep thinking. The depth and brightness of color make it tough. Nothing like a challenge! Beth Ann on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1119320 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 03:47:55 +0000 Beth Ann 1119320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your hard work is paying off!  The looks are all streamlined and beautiful.  What about trying the purple pants with the jacket in #5?  Or, even better with a  mid-brown jacket/sweater or navy. Catnip on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1119309 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 03:23:48 +0000 Catnip 1119309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks so much for the pants advisory.  To repeat, you look great! carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1119300 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 03:10:15 +0000 carter 1119300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Of course, Catnip. The purple pants in #3 and the black pants in 5 are both the "Perfect Form Full Length" pants from WHBM. I'm only finding the purple ones online tonight: <a href="http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=49&pageId=1&productId=570092892&viewAll=true&prd=Perfect+Form+Full+Length+Pant&subCatId=cat210003&color=&fromSearch=true&inSeam=&posId=8&catId=cat4809277&cat=&onSale=true&colorFamily=&maxPg=1&size=" rel="nofollow">http://www.whitehouseblackmark.....#038;size=</a> They get great reviews, so I hope we'll keep seeing them. The taupe pants are pull-ons from Chico's! I only saw them in the store once, and I bought both black and taupe. I went back fairly soon to double up, but they were gone in B&M and the website. The SA called them leggings, but they fit more like body con pants. The most comfortable pants ever! I wore them across the country in October, twice while I was on the trip and again on the flight home...no sagging! If I ever see them come back I will send up an alert. Glad you like my necklaces! I'm a sucker for statement necklaces. carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1119289 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 02:40:40 +0000 carter 1119289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you, Aquamarine. Fit is so often elusive for me, but I find it becomes more important every year. I haven't had the best luck with alterations, so I'm trying very hard to only buy pants that fit me off the rack (except for hems, perhaps). Focusing on the pant rise first, then the hip fit has helped me make better choices most of the time...still some mistakes though. Thanks, Caro! Pants are my nemesis. So glad I got some right! Thank you, Angie. I'm good with retro if it's 50s-60s retro and not 70s-80s. The 70s-80s were not my finest fashion times. I do have some love for the classic styles of the 50s-60s though. Runcarla...Parisian Chic is my aspirational style! It may not always fit perfectly with my life, but it's definitely what I shoot for whenever possible. I do have an Hermes scarf from 100 years ago. I will pull it out and build an outfit or two around it. Thank you for the inspiration!

The pants in #1-6 fit perfectly and are really flattering.  Are they all from the same designer?  Would you mind telling me what brand they are? And a special word about the necklaces.  I often don't like big necklaces, but these look perfect on you, delicate and not overwhelming.  Well done!

No misses by any stretch of the imagination. #1 is truly sublime.  The jacket in #5 reads Retro to me, and not dated. But that might not be the look you are going for, so it's really up to you.  Caro in Oz on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1119169 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 22:50:54 +0000 Caro in Oz 1119169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #1 is fabulous & I think all the pants are great.

I love #1, the coat is beautiful. And you wear that style of pant SO well. This jacket in #5 reads a little dated to me due to the collar style. That's the only thing here that I would question, carter on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1119041 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 20:06:22 +0000 carter 1119041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you, Rute and Greyscale. #1 is my favorite as well. Greyscale, I like the sweater I have on today tool.  It doesn't play nicely with my work clothes, but I love it with a pair of slim jeans. Kkards, I just ordered these last night in several patent colors to try. They're the same shoe I have on in today's WIW.  Not glam but so comfortable I can run around in them all day.  We'll see how they work out. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Clarks-Womens-Timeless-Loafer-Crocodile/dp/B0040LSIUY/ref=sr_1_1?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1387569219&sr=1-1&keywords=clark+timeless+loafers" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Clarks-W.....#038;ie=UT</a> Vipanchi...today's outfit is pretty plain, but it's comfortable and unfussy for a day in my home office and a run to the grocery store.  I do have a scarf that would be great with it. I'll add it next time. It would help to have some color near my face, I think.  The taupe isn't a great color on me. Gracie, I agree.  It's hard to tone down purple pants though! Thanks, Vildy! The coat in #1 is Tahari.  I found it at Saks. The blue one is a Cabi.  When I went outlet shopping with a girlfriend last week, we both bought it.  Thought it was fun to have a different shape and color. Thanks, Carambola.  None of these pants have been altered.  It's so hard to find a pair of pants that fit, that when I do find them, I buy multiples. The pants from 3 and 5 are the same style from WHMB.  I also have a black version of the taupe stretch pants from Chico's. carambola on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1118976 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:54:34 +0000 carambola 1118976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The fit on all of your pants is impeccable!

Tell us more about that coat. And I'd love to know who made that blue jacket. I'm looking for that color blue in something more wintry than the linen one I have.  I love your look and am definitely taking pointers.

All the pants fit you amazingly well, and the color palette is very pleasing. My least fave is 3. I know it's the same jacket as in 4, but for some reason 3 looks more severe to me, probably because both colors are super strong, but the lines are very pleasing. vipanchi on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1118916 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 18:04:54 +0000 vipanchi 1118916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My favs are 1 and 2.  Although I like #7, think you could notch it up with a scarf or a cropped jacket maybe? What if you used the jacket in 5 over 7? Would it be too much? kkards on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1118896 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 17:47:45 +0000 kkards 1118896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ i like them all, but the jacket in #5 is my fav. for flats have you thought about an patent leather oxford or monks shoe?

The neutral palette, shape of the coat, and mix of textures are all just perfect. Really like the sweater in today's. These are all quite good, honestly. You mix and match your jackets and pants very well. I like the ones with some sort of exciting shape best (the first one and the one with the shorter, light jacket, especially). rute on "." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-favorites-so-far-wiw-today#post-1118852 Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:33:16 +0000 rute 1118852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ A big sucess!
