How cool that you now know The Formula! Good work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syw-challenge---a-bit-of-a-cheat#post-2100267 Wed, 19 Feb 2020 18:35:59 +0000 Helena 2100267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>suntiger, and thank goodness for you and the interesting brigade! I like how I dress, but if everyone did, what a snoozefest!</p> <p>Lisa, that's how I see it too - I could buy 'just in case' now and then by the time I needed it, it would be out of style! I'd rather worry about current needs rather than anticipating potential future ones. I can see in a different stage of life this might be more relevant; sadly, I do ensure I have sometime funeral-ready in the closet.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syw-challenge---a-bit-of-a-cheat#post-2100263 Wed, 19 Feb 2020 18:30:22 +0000 Anonymous 2100263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have absolutely NOTHING to wear to a wedding right now . &nbsp;I could make do with a dress I have, but I have no suitable footwear other than one half of a pair of stretch kitten heel Calvin Klein boots I have hung onto. &nbsp;No idea what happened to the other half of the pair &nbsp; I cannot remember the last time I wore a pair of pumps ( or heels of any kind) either. &nbsp;I don't try to buy ahead for events like this - I'll just worry about it if and when it happens . &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syw-challenge---a-bit-of-a-cheat#post-2100259 Wed, 19 Feb 2020 18:24:01 +0000 Anonymous 2100259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting reporting for duty Big yes to formulas-it does make everything easier! And I'm with you on the need for fun wedding shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syw-challenge---a-bit-of-a-cheat#post-2100256 Wed, 19 Feb 2020 18:16:47 +0000 Helena 2100256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, it was all Jenn!</p> <p>Jenn - YES. I don't know why I have so much trouble embracing this realization, that makes my life SO easy. Black, navy, white, classic, jeans, sweater, lather, rinse, repeat. Easy peasy! *rolls eyes at self* :D</p> <p>CG, I'm the same with silhouette! I can do a colour if it's the only interest in the outfit; otherwise, I need to be cautious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syw-challenge---a-bit-of-a-cheat#post-2100250 Wed, 19 Feb 2020 17:53:01 +0000 Cardiff girl 2100250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the liking to look at interesting clothing but not so quick to wear it front.Its difficult to tease that one out isn’t it,in fact as I’ve been typing this l have realised that I can tolerate any amount of colour as long as the silhouette is simple but I do not wear a fussy silhouette comfortably.Thanks TG ,l hadn’t thought about that before so useful to me.You look very well in your clothes so you must be doing something right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syw-challenge---a-bit-of-a-cheat#post-2100248 Wed, 19 Feb 2020 17:45:16 +0000 Jenn 2100248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I'm right with you on the whole not needing to LOOK interesting thing. Maybe that's what makes a small wardrobe more viable for some than others.</p> <p>Also hear you on the wedding shoes. The pumps I wore in my wedding look are in my closet solely so I can wear them to such occasions. They've been in my wardrobe for more than a decade, and I dread having to get new ones that only get worn once or twice a year. Does Rent the Runway do shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syw-challenge---a-bit-of-a-cheat#post-2100219 Wed, 19 Feb 2020 15:49:10 +0000 rachylou 2100219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The idea of formulas for these occasions is brill! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/syw-challenge---a-bit-of-a-cheat#post-2100199 Wed, 19 Feb 2020 14:18:19 +0000 Helena 2100199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there, I have not had time for a photo session to respond to Jenn's challenge, but I still wanted to go through the thought exercise, so thought I'd share my 'formulas' for each occasion (items are shown in Finds).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>1. <b>Running Errands</b></p> <p>Slim jeans, fine knit sweater, black booties and handbag, necklace and earrings.</p> <p>2. <b>Date Night</b></p> <p>Skinny jeans, black fine knit sweater or balloon-sleeve tee, black booties or knee high boots, handbag, necklace and earrings, bolder lippie.</p> <p>3. <b>An Important Meeting</b></p> <p>Navy printed blouse, navy or black slim pants, cognac shoes (weather permitting) and cognac handbag, or black booties and black handbag.</p> <p>4. <b>A Wedding<br /></b><br />LBD or printed wrap dress and a black clutch. I would probably need to buy shoes for such an occasion, but since I never have a need for pumps or high heel sandals, I would wait until the need arose before buying.</p> <p>5. <b>Working from Home</b></p> <p><b></b>Any jeans, striped tee, cozy cardi, fuzzy socks, stud earrings.<b></b></p> <p>Thanks Jenn for the exercise! Makes me realize how truly little I need actually! For example, even though I have more interesting choices for date night, I really am just as happy in my sweater and jeans Lesson learned - for the millionth time - clothing-wise, I like to look AT interesting, but I don't necessarily like to LOOK interesting ....</p> <p> </p>
