Love the idea of amber for you - it just lights up your look in every picture. The range of looks you show here is fantastic, and they all seem very you. The ultimate in personal style achievement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086285 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 00:27:03 +0000 Windchime 2086285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you’ve come into your own, with your sense of your own style, more than ever this year. I love your color palette—olive is so fab on you—and how you put together outfits that are simultaneously on trend and comfortable. Extra kudos for being mindful of budget and not spending it all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086281 Thu, 19 Dec 2019 00:08:43 +0000 NancyW 2086281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are an inspiration for anyone with a lifestyle change. I love that you have so many different looks within your LOOK. Every outfit is terrific, but I adore #9&nbsp; because red and gold collide and the trousers are so wonderful. Brava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086278 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 23:14:49 +0000 notsaf 2086278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A handy tool which you're obviously using to the fullest: thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086277 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 23:14:17 +0000 Cardiff girl 2086277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am just so impressed by the way you have approached and managed your wardrobe through the big change that is retirement and of how tight and coherent everything is.*APPLAUSE* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086238 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 20:12:16 +0000 Sal 2086238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your clean cut interesting colourful style. You have had a wonderful fashion year and seem to have a good eye for adding the right pieces. </p> <p>Well done on being under budget and getting rid of the rosacea.</p> <p>Shopping in bursts obviously works for you - I would like to lean that way a bit more myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086236 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 20:00:48 +0000 Carla 2086236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@notsaf - it is a free app I have on my iPad called Collage Maker. I use photos from my picture album. For the coloured squares I took photos of signature garments, or photos of colours from Pinterest (like the layered ‘jeans’ shot.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086235 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 19:59:39 +0000 Bonnie 2086235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every outfit is terrific and I admire that your mixing and matching works so well. It's a goal of mine but I'm still working on it. You wear boho light and 40's Katherine Hepburn outfits with aplomb and seem to be having a great time with fashion. Good luck with CELEBRATE and AMBER in 2020.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086234 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 19:27:50 +0000 nemosmom 2086234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Carla, you are the epitome of fashionable retirement style! I admire your thoughtful approach to adding new colors and how you make it all look so effortless. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I am with you on the low contrast patterns reading as interesting. To my eye, the dimension they have adds great texture without the in-your-face-ness of a print. Not that prints are bad, just that low contrast = texture!</div><div><br /></div><div>Congrats on beating eczema - that is so frustrating. The colors and style words you have chosen for the new year are perfect for you and I can't wait to see where you go with them!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086231 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 19:18:13 +0000 notsaf 2086231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning, Carla! Such a coherent look and your pops always make me smile (white loafers, red beret, etc.)</p> <p>Can you tell us where/how you built your color palette? It that an app or something you did by hand? Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086230 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 19:17:32 +0000 Mirjana 2086230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, you really look sensational in every outfit, your great year. APPLAUSE from me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086229 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 19:13:42 +0000 Jenni NZ 2086229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with you re the olive capsule- mine is going great guns- and the “false plains”. You’re doing such a good job!<br /> Funny but my faves are quite different from Suz’s- mine are 3 for that bomber jacket and 8 for the pretty matching of the top with the sandal straps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086225 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 18:52:35 +0000 Suz 2086225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Carla</b>, you look sensational -- never better. I loved seeing your favourite outfits lined up this way. Your core of classics with fun twists never lets you down and this year you also incorporated more "currency" as well as fun without ever looking trendy or over the top.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your thoughtful approach has really paid off in a huge way. You stayed within budget, added judiciously, and wear the heck out of your clothes -- what could be better?&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: my favourites are 1, 5, 11, 12, 14.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086224 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 18:50:53 +0000 slim cat 2086224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I signed up recently I've not seen that many outfits from you and I LOVE them all! You are an inspiration for me.&nbsp;<br />I'm with you on some patterns/prints ( I prefer them over solid everything )&nbsp;working as well as solids in outfits and you have the best ones ( like #5,6 or 9 ). Great collection and style direction! Looking forward to more outfits/posts from you in 2020. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086219 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 18:37:19 +0000 Helena 2086219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, no advice or suggestions, just applause from me! You've really nailed it all year, evolving while staying true to your signature style. It's inspiring. Your use of colour has been terrific, although you can rock a neutral outfit with the best of them (I absolutely LOVE #1). Amber is a great colour for you - works perfectly with your personal colouring and is so current - and a great backdrop for your reds.</p> <p>Here's the CELEBRATING in 2020! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-review-2019#post-2086218 Wed, 18 Dec 2019 18:35:38 +0000 rachylou 2086218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, you’re rockin’ retirement! I LOVE that first look - I don’t remember seeing that one. </p>
