Love the jacket, looks very you, and the simple red shirt harmonizes well with it. I know exactly what you mean about being willing to pay more after you've had so many misses. PPP works wonders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-so-much-angie-and-ylf#post-1001695 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:12:13 +0000 jayne 1001695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are all wonderful! I know I don't post as much as I'd like, or get to comment, but let it be known I am reading all I can on the reader trying to keep on top of you all!&nbsp; Many new faces lately is wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-so-much-angie-and-ylf#post-1001650 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:39:15 +0000 Ornella 1001650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hear, hear!

First, it really highlights how similar items can give such different results; one of my biggest issues to reject a look, or trend, too quickly as "not me" after trying on one or two versions. Your two striped jackets have such a different vibe and you're dead on with the importance of the right footwear to make the look come together. The second thing that really jumps out is the air of confidence and happiness you give off when wearing today's version; it's a perfect reminder that finding one's personal style groove is the core of looking fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-so-much-angie-and-ylf#post-1001499 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 13:47:48 +0000 Angie 1001499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your appreciative thread, Jayne. It's touching and thrilling to see you own your style and feel happy with it. That outfit is an 11 out of 10. KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-so-much-angie-and-ylf#post-1001482 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 13:32:25 +0000 Lisa 1001482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit, the brighter color is super against the neutral jacket.&nbsp; Your journey sounds similar to mine.&nbsp; I NEVER returned before joining YLF and that left me often donating items with the tags still on them.&nbsp; Now I return all the time and I don't bat an eye about it.&nbsp; If it can't mix into my wardrobe, back it goes.&nbsp; I still impulse shop and I still end up with orphans but I am doing far better than I ever used to.&nbsp; And I feel MUCH more put together and happier about my daily wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-so-much-angie-and-ylf#post-1001436 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 12:09:54 +0000 Suz 1001436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne, this is one of my favourite outfits of yours, ever, and you are <b>SOOO </b>pinned, girl! I admit, the simplicity appeals to me (an "essentials" girl at heart...) but truly, the simplicity in this case, allows your standout pieces to shine, and<b> you</b> to shine!&nbsp;</p> <p>I am also working on careful, deliberate purchases and trying to remove all (or at least most) sales goggles. It's a work in progress. But I agree, sometimes trying the imperfect item is what it takes to persuade us that waiting for the <i>right</i> item is more than worth it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-so-much-angie-and-ylf#post-1001433 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:58:02 +0000 ManidipaM 1001433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hear, hear! You look fab, and what is arguably even more important, youvfeel fabulously confident. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-so-much-angie-and-ylf#post-1001382 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:24:54 +0000 Jaime 1001382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful post Jayne and great to see it so nicely illustrated! I cannot even begin to count the ways Angie and YLF have improved my style and confidence but you have articulated some of them beautifully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-so-much-angie-and-ylf#post-1001381 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:20:22 +0000 Anonymous 1001381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great post! Well done on finding your groove and being PPP. Love the pic above, you really are letting the jacket shine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-so-much-angie-and-ylf#post-1001377 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 08:14:18 +0000 Caro in Oz 1001377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love how we all grow &amp; change through being here. Your current look is fab&nbsp;- you look put together &amp; confident </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-so-much-angie-and-ylf#post-1001372 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 07:33:23 +0000 Ingunn 1001372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know excactly what you mean, and I wholeheartedly agree, Jayne. YLF makes a huge difference for me, too. I really like your preppy side, and the blazer is fab! Great outfit today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-so-much-angie-and-ylf#post-1001370 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 07:30:03 +0000 Lyn D. 1001370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see the difference here Jayne!<br />The simpler outfit with the strong red blouse lets the jacket play the main role with aplomb. And the shoes are great but don't overpower the jacket either.<br />We all learn these lessons on YLF at our own pace, and the lovely forum supports us as we grow for sure.<br />YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thanks-so-much-angie-and-ylf#post-1001365 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 07:01:28 +0000 jayne 1001365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wanted to give a big thanks to YLF. &nbsp;Even since coming here and getting great feedback and also HONEST feedback I feel my style has improved vastly. &nbsp;I started out just loving to shop, buying on impulse here and there and not being able to feel great in my outfits. &nbsp;OUtfits were often a mess of hero pieces, the only things I bought, and often cheap versions of those. &nbsp;First lesson from Angie was finding a style, which I hit upon last fall and then spent alot of effort trying to duplicate one outfit that made me feel fab. &nbsp;Boy is that important, knowing and aspiring to a style!</p> <p>Second lesson was having a plan for what I needed and no more impulse purchases. &nbsp;OK some, but they have to be 11 on the rictor scale. &nbsp;That was soooo hard, and even worse was (and still is) buying basics that let my many many hero pieces shine and not clash. &nbsp;A plan is priceless. &nbsp;I am still struggling to get myself to spend precious shopping time on those basics...but my list is for grey slacks this fall...wish me willpower.</p> <p>My current happiness 10 level is due to really getting the PPP concept (hey, one concept a year!). &nbsp;I have never ever returned so many things in my life. &nbsp;I buy, bring home, try with my stuff and am spending the time to return those pieces ASAP (Norway has a very limited return policy so you have to get it back quick). &nbsp;The benefit is twofold, 1. I really don't keep pieces that fill a desire/need but are not 10 2. I am in return much more picky about the next item 3. I am much more willing to pay the higher price for the 10 when I find it! &nbsp;For some reason, I need that pain of trying to work a cheaper 7 version into my closet, before I accept that paying more and waiting are worth it!</p> <p>I am posting a picture of my current outfit with the replacement jacket that is a perfect example of how this has worked for me. &nbsp;Picture of current happiness 10 version of stripe jacket with jeans and red blouse. &nbsp;Link to old version (see picture 2) that made me feel sad.(shoes are not helping there either)<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-study-in-jackets--stripes">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....s--stripes</a></p> <p>Please keep giving the honest feedback gals! &nbsp;It is soooo helpful! </p>
