You are so right. I can so relate--that pretty much defines my relationship with Free People. I think I've finally realized after many efforts that as much as I like some styles. They just aren't me. I need to learn to appreciate the styles I can wear and just refine those! Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-january-wrap#post-2097910 Sat, 08 Feb 2020 10:13:37 +0000 Bijou 2097910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the perfect uniform for you, all of these look so good. I have accepted that I feel most authentic in a certain style and so I have given up on buying and wearing items that are too far outside that style - you have no idea how many times I have been tempted by boho items that look amazing on others but rarely work for me. I tend to get interest from new colours and accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-january-wrap#post-2097441 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 21:28:07 +0000 kellygirl 2097441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Jenn: That is so true. CA weather is so mild that really the only difference in work attire is the third piece--topper. I could wear merino sweaters all year long except for maybe really warm days in summer. Same with jeans.&nbsp;<br />@JAileen: Thank you. There's definitely something to be said for not having to put a lot of thought into getting dressed most days--especially when I'm in a hurry. In fact, the times I'm most dissatisfied with my wardrobe is when I try to change things up.<br />@Suntiger: Haha!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-january-wrap#post-2097409 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 18:31:15 +0000 Anonymous 2097409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*carries off burgundy skirt in 11* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-january-wrap#post-2097365 Wed, 05 Feb 2020 16:00:25 +0000 JAileen 2097365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the jacket with light edging in 1,2 and 7. &nbsp;It’s subtle but is interesting in an otherwise dark outfit. &nbsp;I think a uniform is good because it works, and you can use so easily change the look by substituting a different item from column A, from Column B, etc. &nbsp;I think it’s nice when you have a formula that works, and you don’t have to give it a lot of thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-january-wrap#post-2097228 Tue, 04 Feb 2020 17:06:41 +0000 Jenn 2097228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, I was just thinking about this same thing the other night, because I keep imagining a wardrobe with one item for any particular function. I wish that would work, but it doesn't. This is a climate thing, for sure, because the weather just isn't that varied here, so you end up having to dress for the same conditions day after day after day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-january-wrap#post-2096848 Mon, 03 Feb 2020 04:52:03 +0000 kellygirl 2096848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the kind comments and the reassurance that these all don't look the same.</p> <p>@Slimcat: Thank you. The knit moto is surprisingly versatile and is so much cozier that the leather. I’ve gotten lots of use out it over the years!</p> <p>@Cardiff girl: Thank you! That is so nice of you to say. I’m definitely enjoying dresses more than usual this year. </p> <p>@rachy: Thank you. I need to utilize color in actual outfits instead of just buying it and looking at it! haha. </p> <p>@Mainlady: Thank you!</p> <p>@ChristelJ: Thanks! Those OTKs were an irresistible HEWI. I don’t wear them often but they fit like a glove and I love them! I’m taking baby steps out of my comfort zone--like trying to incorporate more color and texture. Wear some of my dressier stuff with less dressy pieces to tone them down. </p> <p>@kkards: Thank you. I’m in love with that blazer. I thought it was pretty dressy but it doesn’t feel dressy without the matching pants. </p> <p>@nemosmom and runcarla: Thank you. I’m glad that formula dressing doesn’t read as boring. As much as I would like to look stylish every day, most of the time I just want to look appropriate and not stand out too much. </p> <p>@Torontogirl: Thank you! It’s so funny because I see signature styles in everyone but myself! </p> <p>@Angie: Thank you so much! </p> <p>@Jenn: Thank you! Yes, that’s absolutely it--I think I get bored wearing the same uniform every day and that is what drives my purchases except that many of my purchases perform the same function as what I already have. I think that’s why I get kind of stymied making new combinations. That scarf is from Target last year, I think. It’s Universal Standard--I think I even had a post on it because it was such a great find!</p> <p>@Sal: Thank you! Still love my ponchos!</p> <p>@shevia: Thank you! </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-january-wrap#post-2096841 Mon, 03 Feb 2020 04:15:18 +0000 Jaime 2096841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many great oufits! Love 11b and 12b as great examples of using texture with monochrome. Love the bootcut/wide cut jeans throughout, great boots, 3b sweater color... you get the idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-january-wrap#post-2096766 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 19:19:37 +0000 Sal 2096766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great collection of looks - you look terrific.

I love how your boots, scarves, wraps, and jackets add interest. Those over-the-knee boots are gorgeous. Fab new puffy! Curious what you would do to expand your comfort zone? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-january-wrap#post-2096684 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 11:43:21 +0000 Mainelady 2096684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SYC success!

I like your outfits with the jacket in #1,2 and 7. <br />The faux leather skirt fits nice and has interesting texture.<br />Grey outfit in #8 is lovely play on neutral. New puffer looks cozy . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-january-wrap#post-2096656 Sun, 02 Feb 2020 05:29:17 +0000 kellygirl 2096656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m so happy the month is over! SYC is doable but not repeating—that is a challenge! I knew I was a uniform dresser from the get go and this just confirms it full stop! As much as I think I crave variety, I’m lazy and fall back on wearing the same things—sweaters, jeans, boots with a midi thrown in here and there. I think I could use a jeans refresh at some point but for now I’m going to hold off and try to get some wear out of my midis which provide the coverage I like for cold weather and for work. Might even expand my comfort zone a bit since looking at my outfits all together—they all look so similar. </p> <p>The Uniqlo skirt matches my navy sweater perfectly—who knew. I thought it was too plain to wear together but i loved Suz’s 2 piece dress so thought I’d give it a try. Wore this to take my dad to the doctor and felt very appropriate! Pulled out the Topshop faux leather skirt that was part of my Cruella de Ville costume—a bit wrinkled but hanging now. Not saving the sparkly pink skirt for an occasion. I think it will work with Docs and my denim jacket. I think I’m officially SYC now—looking forward to further exploring my closet! Thanks for looking! </p> <p>Wanted to add that the puffy in 5 is new. It's Uniqlo and I love how the collar can be left up or tucked and snapped on the inside to create a v neck. My office is freezing and I wanted something less puffy than my black one which I swear I will retire some day.&nbsp;</p>
