It’s pretty rare to find a truly trans-seasonal garment, I can count only two in my wardrobe at the moment (unless I count layering tees) an emerald green straight shift dress which works well with or without tights and a cardi, and also a khaki midi skirt. Thanks for the complimentary words. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018/page/2#post-1880480 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 11:12:51 +0000 Bijou 1880480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in all these outfits. I really love the denim skirt you are thinking of buying, as it is something that you could wear all year round - with a sweater, tights and boots (and maybe that tan leather jacket) in winter and with a flowy soft blouse and sandals for summer.</p> <p>Your goals are perfect for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018/page/2#post-1880479 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 11:10:41 +0000 jussie 1880479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi fashionsl, yes timeless pieces sound great.

Joy I will attempt to style those powder blue tencel chinos from #4 in a couple more ways soon. They’re a bit unusual but hopefully they can become workhorses </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1880393 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 02:23:19 +0000 Anonymous 1880393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have great goals and a wardrobe that looks successful in supporting a feminine, gentle arty look. I like 4 the best with these elements showing. The pants look gentle, the blouse is feminine and your shoes look arty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1880390 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 02:09:04 +0000 Kathie 1880390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful looks, and all so varied for different activities, but while retaining the same vibe. </p> <p>The Lazybones dress is cute. I think you should try it. You can definitely pull off the float statement piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1880357 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 00:17:09 +0000 jussie 1880357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Lyn- great to hear your feedback. I really must do a bit more with the palazzo pants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1880324 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 23:15:34 +0000 Lynn 1880324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jussie- I agree with Sal that you have captured a feminine creative spirit in your clothing. Your outfits are lovely and you are too &nbsp;I can see an arty/boho influence too especially in #1,5, &amp; 7 which are also my favs. &nbsp;I think the Estelle dress would be lovely on you. I do love that blouse in #2 also.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1880236 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 20:23:20 +0000 jussie 1880236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Cindysmith, Suz and Texstyle for your kind words. And Cindy thanks for honesty regarding the first outfit.<br /> It seems like the blouse in #2 (Zara) and the #7 palazzo pants (Topshop) have stood out to people as being especially good. This is useful info, because now I will style up some other outfits with those, as I hadn’t been wearing them a lot thus far. Such useful feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1880190 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 18:12:44 +0000 Suz 1880190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so pretty! I love your outfits and they give a really good sense of your style. The boho bird skirt would be a great addition. My favourites of the outfits you show are 2 and 3 but they are all terrific on you. The blouse in #2 is brilliant on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1880174 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 16:22:43 +0000 texstyle 1880174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What fun and great outfits - I think you are right on track with your style goals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1880156 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 15:44:15 +0000 cindysmith 1880156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first outfit was the only one that felt maybe a bit watered down to me. The rest are all really very good, and #7 stopped me in my tracks (love love love it!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1880002 Thu, 18 Jan 2018 00:53:45 +0000 jussie 1880002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is something else I think may work well to create the boho/fem/gentle vibe. A friend has this dress and it’s absolutely beautiful in real life, although she is very tall and hourglass shaped so it may not be as effective on my frame.... <a href="https://lazybones.com.au/collections/women/products/estelle-dress-in-gatsby?variant=4633169362981" rel="nofollow">https://lazybones.com.au/colle.....3169362981</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879944 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 21:38:39 +0000 jussie 1879944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sal, it’s really great to know my intentions are coming through in the outfits :). So glad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879939 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 21:18:56 +0000 Sal 1879939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your looks and see a feminine creative spirit in them.&nbsp; I think you are capturing your intention well without it becoming overwhelming.</p> <p>I think your additions will work brilliantly - taupe, toffee, mid blue jeans.</p> <p>2 3 and 7 are my favourites but really they are all good looks.&nbsp; I can see 8 as a bit bolder but still creative.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879936 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 21:03:07 +0000 jussie 1879936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Aurore and Toban for your positivity. I will definitely have to bring out the palazzo pants more often, and I will also try to create some more light colored float outfits. Mmm comfy.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879742 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 13:07:01 +0000 Toban 1879742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits are definitely meeting your style descriptives. The lighter colored 'boho' flowy outfits are lovely on you. I love the drama of the wide patterned pants, too. I think you've found the intersection of 'boho', 'artistic', and 'feminine' that is perfect for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879717 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 10:39:53 +0000 Aurore 1879717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IMO, all looks qualify for "boho" and "artsy" and project what you aim at, except #8 which feels more classic. #7 is my favourite, it looks fabulous!<br />Also I think&nbsp;your planned purchases are well thought out and&nbsp;in line with your goals. <br />Thank you for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879699 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 09:24:10 +0000 jussie 1879699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much guys for the very enlightening feedback.<br /> Yes, some of the outfits aren’t really in line with my style goals, esp number 8. I can see that more clearly after reading people’s comments. Also a couple of people noted that they equate flowiness and layering with boho/artsy. I will ponder on that! I’m realizing now that maybe aiming for a full-blown boho/artsy look would actually be impractical in real life... maybe like Angie mentioned in a post ages ago boho-lite is the way to go.<br /> Thank you for the colour tips, someone mentioned toffee, Amethyst and dusty rose.... mmmm I love those colors. I must look for toffee items on my thrifting missions.<br /> Also thanks for the positive feedback on the palazzo pants, they’re from Topshop.<br /> Writing down my goals has already been clarifying; today I didn’t purchase pair of white jeans that I saw because even though I love the way others have been styling them on ylf I feel that they are more crisp and dressy than what I’m aiming for.<br /> Thanks again everyone </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879689 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 08:23:14 +0000 Style Fan 1879689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jussie!&nbsp; I love your outfits.&nbsp; Your style comes across as feminine, gentle and artistic to me.&nbsp; I see an influence of the 70s in some of your looks.&nbsp; I love those wide legged pants.&nbsp; Bootcut jeans would look fabulous on you.&nbsp; I love the denim skirt that you are thinking of buying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879683 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 07:42:40 +0000 Brooklyn 1879683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jussie! Lovely to see you. YLF! I think these outfits fit in perfectly with your desired “look”. The combination of yellow and black in the last outfit does strike me as more bold than gentle, but it looks great on you (and plenty artsy and feminine). I could see the denim maxi working for you too. And man, I love those pants in pic 7. Where are they from? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879680 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 06:19:56 +0000 karen13 1879680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent, focused goals I think you are doing a great job with these outfits. I love your look. I see the feminine, artsy boho vibe in most of these - the flowy fabrics, floral prints and fun details like the fringe jeans and green shoes are lovely and fun. The trim on the jacket in 5 just makes it. And I want the pants in #7. I'm coming to Melbourne.</p> <p>I wish I did better in thrift stores. I too often get caught up in the thrill of the hunt and prices, and end up with random things that don't work in my closet or life (hence one of my goals to be identify what I need very patient about finding it). But they are a great way to try out a new direction with low commitment.</p> <p>Welcome and I look forward to "seeing" you on YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879650 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 03:49:06 +0000 SarahD8 1879650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! These are great looks. I am coming right over to steal 5-6 from you and you are rocking the HECK out of 7.</p> <p>I agree with rachylou, the flowiness is what telegraphs “arty” to me in many of these looks. Some of the others like 3 and 8 more strongly read “feminine” I think because they are more classic — but I do still see the arty element come through in your use of strong color and pattern.</p> <p>I hope you post more pictures, I really like your style!</p> <p>And I look forward to hearing how your shopping for tops goes, that is a major weak point for me and I am struggling to find much that I’m interested in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879642 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 03:40:16 +0000 Jaime 1879642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2,4,5, and 7 really capture your goals and look great in any case. Rather than watered down I think you should think of your look as subtle - not all the beautiful details have to shout and sometimes people will get an impression without consciously paying attention to the details.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879627 Wed, 17 Jan 2018 01:31:05 +0000 rachylou 1879627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 is my fave. 5/6, I think has really got it going on and then 7. Those are the ones that I see artistic, gentle and feminine really showing up. Maybe it’s the flowiness... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879599 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 23:58:54 +0000 The Cat 1879599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wise goals and nice pictures. And I think you DO project a look that is feminine, gentle and artistic. My favourite is #3--you look FAB in this feminine and chic outfit which would be perfect for spring and summer and could also be styled with sandals (perhaps wedges) in one or more of the skirt colours. I also like your leopard wrap/jacket in #1--it has fun and artsy vibes and can be styled in several ways. </p> <p>For feminine, fun and artsy partywear with 70s' vibes, I imagine the white blouse and fab golden necklace in #4 worn with the widelegged trousers in #7. Or your patterned green jacket in #6 worn with the blue trousers and green shoes in #4 plus a simple top. The pink shoes in #3 would look lovely with your blouse and pants in #2. But you probably already know this ... :-)</p> <p>Some words about colours: Blue jeans and tan leather jacket sound perfect for you. Soft colours look GREAT on you and emphasize your very beautiful soft coloring. I guess that colours like offwhite, dusty rose, periwinkle, toffee and olive would be lovely on you. For jewellery, rose gold might be a good choice. And pretty stones like amethysts, turquoises and opales (perhaps worn as pendants) can look both feminine and artistic. Be aware that stark white, black and strong bright colours might tend to overpower you unless you mix them with softer colours near your face. Besides, soft colours often look very gentle and feminine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879578 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 23:31:16 +0000 Angie 1879578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are super cute <b>jussie</b>, and how LOVELY to see you post your fabulous outfits. #1, 2 and 3 are my faves. I adore that blouse in your second outfit. Fabulous with the fringed jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>Nice list of goals too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879570 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 23:06:04 +0000 Emily K 1879570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi jussie, &nbsp;Truthfully, I did see both boho AND classic (but that's OK--it's a cute look! And it projects the feminine vibe you desire.) &nbsp;You might bring out the boho a bit more with scarves and/or statement boho jewelry? &nbsp;I usually think of boho as being more layered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-goals-2018#post-1879562 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 22:51:09 +0000 jussie 1879562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bonnie; it's great to hear that because I was worried that the outfits veer a bit further into the practical/classic realm than what I'm actually going for. Yes the boho bird skirt is tempting me. </p>
