I really love the colors and textures in that ensemble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149511 Thu, 22 Oct 2020 05:17:34 +0000 The Cat 2149511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite is outfit no. 2. The toppers in no. 1 and no. 2 look perfect for your colouring. The yellow bag in no. 4 adds energy/vibrance to this cool-toned outfit. Outfit no. 6 would look more springy if the dark top was either shortsleeved or replaced by a lighter top, or with the addition of a lighter topper. In general, warm colours seem to be the best choice for you--I guess you are a (dark/clear) Spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149468 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 22:57:12 +0000 Sal 2149468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nemosmom - thank you:)&nbsp; You are so kind.&nbsp; My wardrobe has been a highlight of 2020 if I am honest.&nbsp; I have shopped quite a bit but the new additions have been so successful that I feel okay about it.</p> <p>RunCarla - the yellow of the skirt and blazer don't quite work.&nbsp; I have a yellow bag that works with both of them both but the skirt leans more lemon and the blazer mustard.&nbsp; The work capsule is coming together really well - it is one thing that ended 2020 better than it started.</p> <p>Thank you Lynne.</p> <p>Thanks Brooklyn - yes I agree re the hair. I suspect laziness got in the way on that day:)</p> <p>Bijou - I agree with that.&nbsp; I tend to wear these jeans with a blazer (and boots) for work.&nbsp; I am getting better at knowing what I like and what I don't for clothing - I certainly still make some mistakes though.</p> <p>Slimcat - I do agree with you re the contrast.&nbsp; And yes the brown and yellow really did work.</p> <p>Thanks Kelly - much appreciated and nice to get the feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149467 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 22:35:45 +0000 Sal 2149467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all -sorry to post and run!!</p> <p>Thanks Suntiger and Minaminu -&nbsp;I loved number 2 as well - I will definitely be repeating this one.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Lyn - I love yellow as well - I don't have a lot (one bag, one striped top, this skirt and this blazer, and a scarf.&nbsp; A little goes a long way!!</p> <p>Shevia - it is too muted isn't it - and too cool.&nbsp; I like all these pieces but not worn in this combination on me.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Dana - these pants are stretch cotton, but I have downgraded them as they are on their last legs.&nbsp; But for work days when I am moving things around or in the workshop they still work.&nbsp; I liked this simple look too.</p> <p>Angie - I think you like a bit of energy in your clothing too I think - and the tension between elegance, being relaxed and being bold and energetic is what makes me feel the best.</p> <p>Thanks Ms Mary - the pink sweater has been a workhorse this winter - pretty in some gloomy winter days.</p> <p>Torontogirl - I agree.&nbsp; These jeans are better with a low heel (I always wear with boots) and usually in a more dressy way with a blazer or sharper top.&nbsp; It is interesting to analyse why something is wrong isn't it!!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149389 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 14:20:08 +0000 Anonymous 2149389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #2 too- love that blazer on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149374 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 13:20:47 +0000 Minaminu 2149374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I like the 2nd outfit, that yellow blazer is a winner!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149368 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 12:58:21 +0000 lyn67 2149368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And yes, yellow (even if mustard) is a great energising color-put some earthy dots (in the top) or stripes (in the skirt) nearby and you have some very creative outfits-so LOVE those two dearly! The pastel pinks are warm and&nbsp; feminine -nr1 has a great contrast, is smart &amp; authoritive-you hit them all and looking fab, Sal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149338 Wed, 21 Oct 2020 01:54:12 +0000 Jaime 2149338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the mustard blazer, white jeans outfit. I see what you mean about the third one. Although it looks nice&nbsp; you are simply not happy in muted colors. Muted colors + undefined shapes is the opposite of what you are about Sal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149313 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 19:15:40 +0000 Dana 2149313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute looks! I love how you've accessorized them, too. My favorites are the mustard blazer outfit and the grey sweater/black pants. The latter pants have a touch of athleisure (don't know if this is true or not since I can't see them that well,) and it looks super modern!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149299 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 17:26:08 +0000 Angie 2149299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have never looked better, <b>Sal</b>! WOW. You have found your style groove, and I'm impressed :)</p> <p>KILLER all round</p> <p><u>My faves:</u></p> <p>#2 - mustard blazer + polka dots + white pants - WOOOHOOOO! You had me right away.</p> <p>#4 - newly cropped brown pants are soooo much better! Looking like a Modern Grace. Fun scarf in your hair too!</p> <p>#6 - swooshy bold skirt with sneakers makes my heart sing! I'll take that outfit thank you very much.....</p> <p>I bat for Team Boldness for Energy with you.</p> <p>Your lack of fondness for #3 could be the dark shoes without the addition of skin contrast. It's too monotone for your preferences, perhaps?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149296 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 17:02:30 +0000 MsMary 2149296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great! I especially like the outfit with the pink sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149294 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 16:39:24 +0000 Helena 2149294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sal, well you look amazing, but I did look at the photos before reading and admit that the pink and blue stood out as being rather sedate and not quite "you" ... although it does look lovely! The gray and black, I think the white sneaks add just enough 'pop' to feel energetic; could a similar trick work with the pink? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149270 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 14:32:54 +0000 Carla 2149270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh! &nbsp;Do I ever love that mustard blazer! &nbsp;Does it work as an ‘accidental’ suit with the striped skirt? &nbsp;Good call on shortening the trousers. &nbsp;The tonal similarity with the pink sweater top is soothing and modern minimalist. &nbsp;I see a nice little work capsule forming up for you. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149266 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 13:44:53 +0000 nemosmom 2149266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab capsule you have put together, Sally! I love 1 and 2 so so much! I can see the touch of boldness and think you are really on to something.&nbsp; You definitely achieve boldness with your pops of color and shine, and can we talk about your amazing hair?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149245 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 11:37:08 +0000 Lynne 2149245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pink sweater outfit, Sal! You have some great looks here with lots of variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149236 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 10:05:59 +0000 Brooklyn 2149236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great set Sally. My favourite is the mustard blazer outfit in 2.</p> <p>I like the pink jumper and jeans outfit and the ombré scarf of course. But I think wearing your hair out would suit the softness of the outfit more.</p> <p>Great insight too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149227 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 07:26:27 +0000 Bijou 2149227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #2 - that is a fabulous outfit on you.</p> <p>Sal you are a master at identifying what works and does not work for you. I would try different footwear and bag with the pink and blue outfit to get that bold element that works so well on you. It is a nice outfit, a great sweater and jeans combination, but when compared to the others, it lacks the same level of energy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149226 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 06:22:30 +0000 slim cat 2149226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty collection - lots of cool outfits!&nbsp;<br />Mustard blazer with white jeans looks amazing - very becoming colors on you! I like pink sweater with light linen pants and I think it works with jeans too but the scarf in that outfit could be more contrasting in colors instead of tonal.<br />Grey sweater and black pants get nice addition of color - yellow bag and white sneakers - fab look.<br />Bolder colors or combinations do bring more energy in the outfit and in the mood.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149225 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 05:47:12 +0000 kellygirl 2149225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you mean about the touch of boldness but there is something very soothing about the blue and pink outfit. I think it's quite lovely! #2 is my fave with the mustard blazer--that one just pops! So fun and lively. Great mix of outfits--classic, sporty and playful! You are looking fab as ever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spring-wiw-1#post-2149221 Tue, 20 Oct 2020 04:25:59 +0000 Sal 2149221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all</p> <p>Here are six recent WIW - all for work.&nbsp; The black dress in the first photo is the only piece new to the forum - I bought this second hand in September.</p> <p>A real mixed bag here and one will not be repeated.</p> <ul> <li>New to me black dress with older pieces.&nbsp; I liked this one a lot whilst wearing it.</li> <li>Mustard blazer, rust spot camisole and white jeans.&nbsp; I liked this one a lot too.</li> <li>Pink sweater and dark jeans.&nbsp; I felt very boring in this outfit despite liking the individual pieces.&nbsp; I feel like it is too cool in tone for me and has nothing very interesting about it. I think I needed to wear different jeans here - this was an unseasonally cold day.</li> <li>Grey sweater and black pants,&nbsp; I liked this despite being very simple - it has an energy that the pink and blue does not have.</li> <li>Pink sweater and newly cropped brown linen trousers.&nbsp; I enjoyed wearing this - took a few cm off the hems of the trousers (the trousers are very loose and better in reality than in the photo).&nbsp; Bad hair day though!!</li> <li>Black boat neck with yellow striped skirt - first wear for the spring of this skirt that I added late summer 2019.&nbsp; Enjoyed pulling this out again and matching the red lips to the skirt.&nbsp; I could adjust the top or something I notice here, it looks slightly crooked.</li> </ul> <p>My take away here is that a touch of <b><i>boldness</i></b> or at the least <b><i>energy</i></b> is important to my outfits to make them feel interesting.&nbsp; Sneakers, shine, colour, pattern all help. </p> <p>Thanks for looking. </p>
