You have a KILLER jeans wardrobe and wear it with the best of them. Rock on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096698 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 13:18:01 +0000 kkards 2096698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni...honestly if i'd done this 3 years ago, i'd have been pretty close to your count of jeans, but since my office switched dress codes i now wear jeans pretty much 7 days a week 9 months of the year.....for me its skirts and dresses, i really can't understand why anyone would need more than 2 or 3 of each...but that's why i love this forum, it makes me realize that there are a lot of different ways of dressing and expressing and "doing fashion" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096697 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 13:15:31 +0000 Kathie 2096697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so impressed that you took pictures every day! It is a lot of work. “Style your closet” is such a positive spin and adds an element of fun to the process. And I’m with you on this comment, “If I buy it, it must be at least a 9 and it must work with what I already own, no one offs or it needs X.” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096693 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 12:59:30 +0000 ChristelJ 2096693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for doing such a great job all month posting. I didn't comment much because every day I would have said the same thing: you look great and I love your formula of stylish jeans, interesting tops and enviable footwear. Your takeaway, "Style your closet", is brilliant. So is your new shopping strategy of 9's only. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096669 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 07:45:58 +0000 Jenni NZ 2096669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have enjoyed your daily posts. Not sure if I commented on them all, but several. I am amazed by the 16 pairs of jeans! I have 3. But I don’t want to wear them to work because they don’t feel professional enough to me to see patients in, so they are only for weekends. I love your dressy boots. Your style is really cohesive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096637 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 03:39:04 +0000 Jaime 2096637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Your Closet! I love it! I have enjoyed seeing all your snazzy outfits this month and I agree, posting pictures is a lot of work! Hope you do keep posting frequently though, and it sounds like the month was well spent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096621 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 01:34:00 +0000 slim cat 2096621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your commitment to daily posting - you have great &nbsp;collection of modern denim and do fun casual with polish outfits!<br />It pushed me too into more challenging combinations this past weeks.&nbsp;<br />Some forgotten items saw the light of day.. .<br />I have similar problem with my leather jacket - not quite the most comfortable/easy thing to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096604 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 23:38:39 +0000 Synne 2096604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I missed that post. See, you look smashing in your leather jacket. Fabulous fit.</p> <p>Could it be that you're not fan of shiny textures on your top half? I don't like this my self. I try to avoid anything shiny, glossy or reflecting near my face (sequin, leather, silks). I am just not drawn to it. I'd much rather wear my faux leather trousers (that I suddenly have three pairs of). I recently discarded a great fitting thrifted blazer because it was smooth polyester. It just felt boring and unflattering. I much prefer my uneven textured wool blazer. Which has the exact same shape, and an even less flattering color than the former. But I feel it suits me better regardless. This is the reason I prefer Thai silk over regular silk too. I would never wear a smooth silk or shiny polyester blouse. Hm.. I just realized this as I typed it out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096599 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 23:20:53 +0000 kkards 2096599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Notsaf. Nice to know I’m not alone. I wore my modified biker jacket day 13. <a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-syc-day-13-following-kari%e2%80%99s-excellent-examples" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....t-examples</a></p> <p>And I’ve made a commitment to myself to wear it again in February, Im thinking with my white jeans to make it really pop. In for a penny in for a pound </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096593 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 23:11:39 +0000 notsaf 2096593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkards, I feel exactly the same way. I tend to be more conservative on top (for me: tees and blazers) and more "modern" on bottom (like you: denim and booties). I too have failed to incorporate a leather biker into work wear, though I've definitely seen other women do it well! I think I might need one with more refined styling than what I have. I'd love to see you how wear yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096589 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 22:50:47 +0000 Molly Mac 2096589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have loved your daily posts. You have a fab denim collection and your boots are very cool and statement making without being "extra" (as my teenagers would say). You always look as if you have figured out your style and wear it with confidence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096587 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 22:46:41 +0000 Synne 2096587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I can understand your reasoning for that. But would you wear the sweater in this wiw for work? Albeit a cosy knit, it is still pretty daring (almost grung-rocker-y!). I have also seen you in other fab toppers like sharp blazers, fun colours, interesting textures. How is a leather jacket different from this? I am sure I have plenty of pet peeves my self... I wouldn't wear anything I wasn't comfortable in my self. Especially not to work. How we feel in our clothes means a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096584 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 22:39:37 +0000 kkards 2096584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Synne. Since I sit at a desk or at a table in a conference room most of the day, I figure a lot of people never see my shoes and so no judgement. But the top half of me, visible all day, so I feel more conscious. Which as I type this is just wrong on my part, cause I get a fair amount of comments on my footwear.<br /> The sneakers BTW are a hybrid sneaker bootie and an Angie top pick. Fab for winter<br /> nemosmom..me too. I’m going to need to remind myself over and over again, I can be a slow learner </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096582 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 22:24:12 +0000 Helena 2096582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE 'style your closet' - what a great way of thinking about it. Really enjoyed following your month of outfits - well done! *applause* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096579 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 22:20:37 +0000 nemosmom 2096579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Can I just tell you HOW much I have appreciated your casual WIWs?!&nbsp; Pulled-together-but-casual is SO SO hard for me to dress for; your outfits were very inspirational.&nbsp; And, your concept of STYLE your closet is spot-on -- how great that you have gained insight into where you have enough (blazers) and where you may need to shop.&nbsp; I am going to steal your conclusion, if that's ok: <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><i>"If I buy it, it must be at least a 9 and it must work with what I<br /> already own, no one offs or it needs X.

Absolutely love that. And SQUEAL, fashion sneakers! </p> <p>I find it so fascinating that you shun wearing your leather jacket! For why? You wear pointy, sharp, streamlined patent booties like nobody's business, but not a leather jacket? I'm sure you look fantastic in yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096563 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 21:32:15 +0000 kellygirl 2096563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really inspired me this month and I thoroughly enjoyed the visuals and analysis! Great job! It does require a little more effort but the takeaway is that we have a lot of options if we mix things up! Food for thought especially for me—I’m always hankering for something new and this was a great way to see what I can do with what I have! Love today’s outfit. Fab slouchy weekend look. I’d totally wear that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096536 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 20:14:29 +0000 Cardiff girl 2096536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have done so well to post all month as you have and what a great analysis of what you have taken away from this challenge.It has been so interesting to follow so thank you for taking the trouble to do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096533 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 20:08:10 +0000 rachylou 2096533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>STYLE your closet: Ok.

Thank you for sharing it with us. I like your final thoughts about shopping and what would be allowed into your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096520 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 18:32:20 +0000 taylor 2096520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely loved this post . &nbsp;So much reflective insight. &nbsp;You really analyzed this month of SYC , &nbsp;and I agree with the “style your closet“ analogy.<br />I am with you on the patent , lady like pointy toes shoes. :)<br />I wasn’t able to comment every day , &nbsp;but I went back and looked at the days I missed...fantastic outfits...kudos for daily photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096517 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 18:28:12 +0000 notsaf 2096517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats, Kkards! I loved following your posts this month. You looked wonderful, and it sounds like you learned a lot in the process. I for one especially like your blazer looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-final-thoughts-day-28-weekend-casual#post-2096516 Sat, 01 Feb 2020 18:23:49 +0000 kkards 2096516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Confession time: I’ve always had a problem with “shop my closet”. So I set up this January challenge with self imposed rule of not repeating an outfit. And with the promise to post all the outfits. And because of my rules, I realized SYC really means STYLE your closet </p> <p>One thing I learned, posting outfit pics everyday was more work than I had thought. I was also reminded how supportive this community is. I want to thank each and everyone who took the time to comment on my posts. And to tell you how much they meant to me. </p> <p>As I worked thru the month, I realized just how plug and play my closet was! There was only one outfit I wore all month were I couldn’t imagine the sweater worn with different pieces. There was only 2 days that I got dressed and then changed.<br /> I wore 16 different pairs of jeans. I have 3 pairs and a denim boiler suit that I didn’t wear. 1 pair that I didn’t wear is a lower rise &amp; and 1 is a super skinny. Im going to let the super skinny go, If I don’t wear the others next month I’ll let them go.<br /> I wore all but 6 of my winter sweaters. I need to evaluate this and decide if it’s time to let them go. Only 2 of these sweaters are less than years old, so they’ve served me well. 1 sweater should have been returned but I missed the mail back date. No more on line shopping if I can’t return in person or with less than a 90 day return period<br /> I only wore 3 of my blazers. I’m not ready to let most of them go, but I do need to make sure I’m not adding more. Also needed to make sure I wear my leather jacket, I can’t save it or worry about what people may be thinking when I wear it.<br /> It’s been a cold, rainy January so on the footwear front, it was basically boots boots boots. And I once again it reinforced I love refined more “lady like” styles. And patent leather and pointy toes are my sweet spot. I need to step away from shoes that aren’t 10s, if I don’t love it, I don’t need it. I have 1 pair of boots that I will definitely donate at the end of this season and 1 that’s probably on the way out depending on how much I wear them next month. </p> <p>What’s next? I’m not a shopping fast, but I’m looking to shop slower. If I buy it, it must be at least a 9 and it must work with what I already own, no one offs or it needs X. No buying because it’s a great price. No buying because I’m bored. And no buying because someone else thinks it’s great </p> <p>Overall, this was a helpful challenge. And one I’m hoping to repeat in July. </p> <p>If your still with me, thanks for reading and for all your support this month. </p>
