Thanks for the encouragement!</p> <p>Ok - I'll need refine the list and my understanding further - the clutch I included since it's the piece I use (along with a heeled bootie or wedged sandal) to transform any of my day clothes into a night-time look (it's a casual nightlife around here lol!) - but yes, I see that it's not essential per se; I could do without it.</p> <p>The weather gear - really I hate this whole category, so it's more 'necessary evil' than style essential - but I would say, a dark puffer, a neutral, complementary or matching toque, scarf and mittens trio, and dark neutral boots for winter, and a neutral hooded raincoat and neutral wellies for fall and spring, are the items I absolutely must have.</p> <p>For the flats category, black ballet flats and a pair of neutral canvas sneakers would be my specific items.</p> <p>Thanks Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-adjectives-and-wardrobe-essentials#post-1882424 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 22:49:05 +0000 LaPed 1882424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These sound spot-on! I love Casual Kate for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am hopeless at identifying essentials. I either go too broad or too specific.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-adjectives-and-wardrobe-essentials#post-1882419 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 22:33:54 +0000 Angie 1882419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NICE. Those are the adjectives I chose for you too. High five.</p> <p>(Covering Wardrobe Essentials in the blog on 5 Feb).&nbsp;</p> <p>Not all of these items are essentials - like a black clutch. And an entire wardrobe category isn't a wardrobe essential either. You have to pick the essentials out of the wardrobe category and be specific about them.&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, a super shopping list and your 2018 style refresh is off to a great start.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-adjectives-and-wardrobe-essentials#post-1882418 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 22:33:53 +0000 Suz 1882418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! Casual Kate is just so perfect for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-moniker-adjectives-and-wardrobe-essentials#post-1882413 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 22:28:19 +0000 Helena 1882413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, sorry for being chatty Cathy lately, but I'm feeling energized for style journey 2018!</p> <p>Angie's last few posts and the discussion around them has been so fun and inspiring; it's been great seeing everyone's different monikers and adjectives.&nbsp;Just documenting my thinking on these items for fun; as well, sharing with the group might help me stay on track :D</p> <p><b>Style Moniker</b>: Casual Kate&nbsp;<br /><b>Style Adjectives</b>: classic, polished, casual, simple ... and leaving one spot open to see what the year brings!<br /><b>Wardrobe Essentials</b>: Love this concept of Angie's - if I had <i>only </i>these items in my closet, it would be totally functional (if a little staid). I'm starring those items in need of a refresh, so that's my shopping list for spring/summer 2018 sorted: <ul> <li>fine-knit, tailored or just-fluid sweaters in neutrals/nearly-neutrals</li> <li>fluid tees (summer)*</li> <li>a navy blazer</li> <li>dark-wash skinny jeans</li> <li>white jeans or shorts* (summer)</li> <li>neutral, walkable flats, including ballets flats and canvas sneakers (white Birkenstocks in summer)</li> <li>stud earrings (crystal or pearl)</li> <li>striped tees*</li> <li>black slim trousers</li> <li>a jean jacket</li> <li>a neutral medium-sized tote bag</li> <li>cotton-jersey sundresses (summer)*</li> <li>nude wedges for summer dressier looks; neutral booties for winter dressier looks</li> <li>a black clutch</li> <li>a gray Roots hoodie (because January and cottages in summer)</li> <li>necessary weather-related gear (coats, boots, mitts, toque, etc.)</li> </ul> If you made it to the end of this tome, thanks for reading; love to hear about your wardrobe essentials, etc.! :D</p>
