I am going to try your outfit planning technique this week and see how it makes me feel. I am doing SYC for January not because I buy too much, but because I wear too little of what I own. Trying to look at emotional discomfort that flares up when I reach for items that I really do like! And for January, wearing those things anyway </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc---first-10-days#post-2091821 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 18:29:10 +0000 Suz 2091821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the new specs! Good choice!</p> <p>Favourite outfits here are 2, 5, and 6. Those pants are complete winners.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc---first-10-days#post-2091818 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 18:10:40 +0000 kkards 2091818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice. I love all the stripes, but #5 is my fav -love the silhouette and that it looks comfy and cozy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc---first-10-days#post-2091806 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 16:39:36 +0000 Kate 2091806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 is flat out gorgeous. Love that color palette. YLF, Carla! You’re singing my song here. Also love the chic simplicity of #5 and those super mustard-y colored cords—dark mustard is a color I invested heavily in this f/w season in both tops, bottoms, and bags—and the great jacket in #7. I could happily live in your closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc---first-10-days#post-2091789 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 15:30:49 +0000 AndiB 2091789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those cinnamon crops and the lightweight puffer are perfection. Very nice additions. You look terrific in every one of these but I’m dying for those pants!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc---first-10-days#post-2091788 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 15:29:48 +0000 catherine 2091788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so great in all of your clothes.

You also look fantastic in earth tones (khaki, olive and mustard). You should def explore these colors further! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc---first-10-days#post-2091754 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 09:00:08 +0000 Bijou 2091754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your attitude to wardrobe management, in particular:&nbsp;<br /><i>"The plan is similar to last year: stick to a budget, practice one in/one out, manage a mix-and-match capsule based collection of clothes, aim for better/best quality garments"<br /></i>This is what I want to do for my wardrobe - updated and edit with better and more fashion forward items rather than adding without a plan or budget.<br /><i></i>I love all your outfit and think your greatest addition is those new specs - they are sensational on you. Even nicer than your old specs which are pretty fabulous too.<i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc---first-10-days#post-2091737 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 06:38:26 +0000 kellygirl 2091737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE these. 1, 5 and 6 are my faves if I am forced to choose. You do casual SO well. You look immaculate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc---first-10-days#post-2091722 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 04:48:29 +0000 Carla 2091722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Joy - the corduroys are holding up very well. &nbsp;They are 98% cotton and 2% some other product (lyocell, I think) but there is no stretch to them. &nbsp;They are soft, not&nbsp;stiff. &nbsp;I usually get 3-4 wears between laundering in a regular wash and dryer.</p> <p>@Nancy W - at the beginning of the week (Sunday night) I select a capsule of mix and match garments that I intend to wear for the week, and hang them at one end of my clothes rod. &nbsp;Each morning I create an outfit based on activities and weather, trying not to repeat the exact same outfit as the day before. &nbsp;At the end of the day, the garments go back into the capsule, unless they are soiled - then they go into the wash. &nbsp;I can always pull an extra top or bottom if I need to, to finish the week. I have a high tolerance for repeating, and love all my clothes almost equally! &nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p><div>As a further challenge, once a top comes back from the laundry, I put it at the bottom of the pile of clean tops. &nbsp;I’m trying to rotate through my many different tops. &nbsp;I think I counted 35 tops including sweaters, t-shirts, and button downs. &nbsp;I have 8 pairs of pants (1 skirt and 2 shorts) so I’m not worried about rotating through pants - I have to!</p> <p>I have a limited palette of colours, so ‘mix and match’ is pretty easy (see palette below) and even prints adhere pretty closely to this palette.</p> <p> </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc---first-10-days#post-2091717 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 04:13:51 +0000 NancyW 2091717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Four bottoms and five tops are plenty if you know how to use everything else in your wardrobe! Could you share some of your process for dressing for the day? I repeat quite a bit, and I am comfortable with that, but I admire how you repeat pieces and rely on only a few silhouettes, but manage to maintain variety too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc---first-10-days#post-2091694 Sat, 11 Jan 2020 01:30:38 +0000 Anonymous 2091694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all these looks on you and can’t pick a favorite.
