Mine has yet to take flight! </p> <p>I love this exercise, because I am also a neutral dresser and happily wear black bottoms 90% of the time. You have beautifully shown how simple accessory changes create new looks that are easy, elegant and handily defeat boredom. Thank you, TG. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do/page/2#post-2095082 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 03:18:21 +0000 kellygirl 2095082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So inspiring! Each day looks quite different to me--just shows the power of the accessory! Definitely food for thought as I navigate SYC.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do/page/2#post-2095081 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 03:14:57 +0000 Jaime 2095081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits look terrific and I would not have noticed they contain the same base if you hadn't mentioned it. Definitely a great reminder of how far perfect essentials can take you. Am extremely impressed with your crow too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do/page/2#post-2095078 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 02:22:01 +0000 Lucy 2095078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing! You look beautiful in every rendition. It's a good reminder to us all to re-wear and repeat and change it up with accessories!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do/page/2#post-2095073 Sun, 26 Jan 2020 00:37:28 +0000 Anonymous 2095073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really did a fabulous job with your challenge. I doubt anyone would notice that you are wearing the same basic outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do/page/2#post-2095002 Sat, 25 Jan 2020 16:58:51 +0000 Carla 2095002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Creative and resourceful! &nbsp;I would not have thought you were wearing the ‘same outfit’ at all, Toronto girl! &nbsp;Bravo on the Crow and thanks for the link! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do/page/2#post-2094985 Sat, 25 Jan 2020 16:02:03 +0000 Helena 2094985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>Katelyn, I would definitely suggest trying Yoga with Adriene. She focuses a lot on tuning into our own bodies, to avoid injury. I love yoga but find a lot of classes are not good at accommodating different levels. I always think it's unfair to newer practitioners or those with injuries/sensitivities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do/page/2#post-2094982 Sat, 25 Jan 2020 15:40:16 +0000 Bijou 2094982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your posts are always so positive and inspirational. You look sensational each and every day. I am also in awe of your yoga skills. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do/page/2#post-2094976 Sat, 25 Jan 2020 14:32:02 +0000 Kaelyn 2094976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am do with you on a black top and jeans being the most versatile outfit. It's a go-to, and the reason I've always got black tops in a few different silhouettes and fabrics in my closet. I'm less of an accessories person, especially during hot weather, so I'm always impressed by how people can change it up with jewelry and such. You're doing great! </p> <p>I'm super impressed by your crow pose, too! I've been wanting to give yoga another go (I took a class the first time I was in college several years ago and got seriously hurt from coming out of an inversion, so I want to try again, but I've been a bit anxious about it). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do#post-2094911 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 22:41:34 +0000 rachylou 2094911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! What a difference accessories make! Food for thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do#post-2094902 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 21:50:16 +0000 Helena 2094902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the crow pose love (and the outfit love too!)</p> <p>For anyone working on crow pose, if you don't know Yoga with Adriene, she has a great, short tutorial that helped me a lot with this pose. A pillow in front of you to break potential falls is also helpful :D</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgvjvwPGLPY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgvjvwPGLPY</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do#post-2094900 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 21:44:49 +0000 Lesley 2094900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will just chime in and add to the chorus.... very inspiring, not least of all because of that CROW!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do#post-2094897 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 21:35:34 +0000 Helena 2094897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this, Gryffin xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do#post-2094896 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 21:32:20 +0000 gryffin 2094896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just though this went perfectly with everything you said </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do#post-2094891 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 21:18:37 +0000 Suz 2094891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, look at that crow! Brilliant! Congrats!&nbsp;</p> <p>These are terrific simple outfits that let you shine. I love them all and agree that just a scarf or footwear or a belt or jewellery can sometimes be all the switchup we need. Fun experiment.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do#post-2094886 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 21:06:56 +0000 SarahD8 2094886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous. I love all these outfits. And I love these exercises you are doing (I mean wardrobe exercises but congrats on crow pose too!).</p> <p>I too have been defaulting to jeans and a black top quite a lot lately. But I haven't been as deliberate as you about mixing it up via accessories. I am taking notes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do#post-2094881 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 20:03:06 +0000 Sal 2094881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great work all round - my crow sounds like Janet’s!! One day:)</p> <p>Fun experiment - and I love your tweaks that mix it up. Definitely inspiring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do#post-2094866 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 18:57:18 +0000 Cardiff girl 2094866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am seriously impressed with the yoga pose.All your outfits look great,l probably would not have noticed that the core outfit was the same unless you had mentioned it ,my eyes were drawn to the accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do#post-2094859 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 18:04:23 +0000 Liesbeth 2094859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You make the case for elevated basics.

(Well, I guess not “too” anymore - you nailed it!)</p> <p>Love the use of accessories. I think accessories is something I need to be more intentional about for my 2020 style. Loved seeing your examples. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do#post-2094853 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 17:51:10 +0000 kkards 2094853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg on the yoga pose.

We need to honour our bodies, which all have different needs! The risk of injury is why I've stopped doing weights, even though the majority of my friends do them regularly - for me personally, they are too hard on my joints, especially heavy weights on my bad knees and increasingly fussy back (I also use a knee pad in yoga class).&nbsp; The beauty of Crow for me is that my knees are off the ground completely :D&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syc-week-3---make-it-do#post-2094814 Fri, 24 Jan 2020 16:26:14 +0000 nemosmom 2094814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>You are such an inspiration - not only in your ability to rock a challenge, but to smartly accessorize, and to make simple look KILLER.
