If I recall correctly, those a pair of old Paper,Denim &amp; Cloth bootcuts that I thrifted in pursuit of my flared jeans fixation. I do try to toe the line between interesting and unapproachable . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375833 Thu, 05 Dec 2024 03:51:33 +0000 Bijou 2375833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What immediately struck me in looking at these photos is what an enviable denim collection you have. My personal favourites are #1 and #9. I really love the texture of the jeans in #1 and their classic fit. Your hair is looking even more amazing than ever. Whilst you may not be 100% tonal, you seem to hit that sweet spot of contrast without being loud. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375824 Thu, 05 Dec 2024 01:36:14 +0000 Angie 2375824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, then! When a tough audience approves - you <i>know</i> you nailed it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375811 Thu, 05 Dec 2024 00:20:35 +0000 Jaime 2375811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I really do appreciate the positive comments about my hair because I am very frustrated with it right now .<br /><b>Cookie</b> - I had never really thought about the tonal question, but it does seem that there is a tonal/contrast divide. And thank you!<br /><b>Suz</b> - Ha! I run cold so am able to milk my sweater and jackets while others might be running around in t-shirts. In answer to your questions, the metallic bag (and also the brown one) are by Israeli brand <a rel="nofollow" href="https://daniellalehavi.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorgpKn-IdEGkyq0sQGqWr8C-CBxSRKKC6k6yG2QGfMs3oYBYhPz">Daniella Lehavi</a>. I believe they were distributed at Anthropologie at some point and have seen them on the US resale market. Anyhow, I have thrifted an unreal number of their bags (and shoes) over the years. The earrings are by Sunnei and I picked them up on TheRealReal last year. I also have them in bright pink .<br /><b>Dee</b> - Good to hear you like the cuffing experiment. #9 was my favorite too.<br /><b>Irina</b> - I agree, I dress by my mood and not rules but it is interesting to think about. And thank you - styling old thinks in a somewhat current way is my goal!<br /><b>slim cat </b>- Thank you! Very happy that such different looks are favored!<br /><b>Lisa</b> - Yes, it is fun to try new silhouettes, I agree!<br /><b>Star</b> - Thanks, I'm flattered! My hair is its own character/accessory .<br /><b>Kate</b> - I am very happy that both my most vintage and most current looks are favored! Thank you!<br /><b>Brooklyn</b> - Thank you - love edgy, modern way as a description! Bag is <a rel="nofollow" href="https://daniellalehavi.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorgpKn-IdEGkyq0sQGqWr8C-CBxSRKKC6k6yG2QGfMs3oYBYhPz">Daniella Lehavi</a> (thrifted).<br /><b>Sisi</b> - Of course pleasantly wild is a compliment ! Thank you for your kind words!<br /><b>Angie</b> - Thank you Angie! I noticed that the light in one particular mirror does flatter my skin a lot - but I do prioritize skin care over really any other beauty care and am delighted you noticed! And I will now reveal that #9/10 is also my favorite, mainly because DD1 (whom I drive to the train every morning, DD2 is away during the week) complimented it, and she is a tough audience .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375773 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 17:47:40 +0000 Angie 2375773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT to see you post more frequently, Queen Hoop Earrings, and Queen Mop of Delightful Silver Curls!&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking as good as ever, and your skin looks gorgreous too :)</p> <p>My eye went straight to #9! KILLER. Love that soft and shiny palette with your silver hair!&nbsp;</p> <p>#10 is my next fave!<b> Tonal</b><i><b> YOUR way</b></i><b>, is the best tonal of all.&nbsp;</b></p> <p>#2 is my fave after that. You in bright pink makes me smile, <b>Jaime</b>! KILLER cute boxy top.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375736 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 11:05:53 +0000 Sisi 2375736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You find the best things at thrift stores! My favorites are #1 (I always love a well defined jacket), # 7 (remarkable sweater! ) and # 8 (proportions and color combination). I like your hair this way. It looks pleasantly "wild" (it's a compliment ).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375733 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 09:25:12 +0000 Brooklyn 2375733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha! We should do an “experiments with contrast dressing” challenge next. I will be an epic fail. But it’s great how these exercises help us to figure out our style preferences and appreciate the style preferences of others.</p> <p>You look fabulous in your usual edgy, modern way. My favourites are 1, 8 and 10. </p> <p>You find some amazing items. What is the bag in 9, 10?</p> <p>And your hair looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375732 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 08:49:01 +0000 Kate 2375732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites of these looks are the first two and the last two. That jacket is beautiful and a great fit. I can absolutely see why you love bright pink. It lights you up. The Nili Lotan pants are a great score. Love those on you. The fringed sweater is a quieter contrast with the cords but very pretty on you. The last sweater with cords and the great bag makes my heart beat faster because neutrals.</p> <p>Your hair is gorgeous!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375731 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 07:32:41 +0000 Star (Lise) 2375731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Many my kind of outfits here. 1,2 &amp; 3 are my favorites. Those colours love your hair. 4 is also a favourite but I would prefer dark wash jeans with that top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375723 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 05:04:49 +0000 Lisa 2375723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hair looks great to me, lots of texture and volume.</p> <p>All outfits here are lovely, you have a great eye for thrift store finds.</p> <p>1 and 2 are my favorite because the fit of the jacket in 1 is just so good on you and so is that pretty pink color in the top for 2.</p> <p>4 I don't mind the grey jeans here, sometimes it's nice to have a new silhouette in jeans for variety especially a baggy pair for a relaxed vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375711 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 03:21:01 +0000 slim cat 2375711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1,2 and #8,9 as fav but all are super cute on you ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375709 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 02:31:04 +0000 Irina 2375709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#8,9,10 are my favorite. I don’t get all this tonal or not thing. I like both styles and wear it depending on my mood. I don’t find one better or more elegant (sophisticated or whatever else).&nbsp;<div>I admire that you can find and style second hand pieces in a contemporary way.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375708 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 02:26:59 +0000 Dee 2375708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha Jaime, yes we do seem to be tonal obsessed right now, but I am seeing hints of tonal in some of your outfits too, like in photo#9 which I love, even your hair adds another element of &nbsp;tonal to the look. My other fav is #8, I like the cuffing and those pattern boots.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375707 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 02:23:05 +0000 Suz 2375707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks amazing every day!&nbsp;</p> <p>And so do your outfits, tonal or not! I love how this gets us to consider what our default preferences are -- and why. (I, too, am a default contrast dresser and will probably continue to add contrast after this experiment, however it goes. I think, like you, I like to have a few tonal elements and then a contrast item or items.)&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway -- onto the items and outfits! What a score those Nili Lotan pants were! Excellent thrifting find! I also love the texture of the bag (say more!) and the fringe on that gorgeous sweater! This is a softer pink than I typically see you wear but I think it works really well!&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE #1 (but I would). Your hoops are great! Say more about those, too, please!&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE #2 -- bright pink really is. your friend!&nbsp;</p> <p>Gorgeous textural and colourful sweaters. You are making the most of whatever "cold" weather. you get. (hahahaha).</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375703 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 02:16:08 +0000 Cookie 2375703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 3 and 9 best and think your hair looks great! I think I’m with you in not gravitating naturally to the tonal looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thrift-store-selfies---not-really-tonal#post-2375698 Wed, 04 Dec 2024 02:09:34 +0000 Jaime 2375698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are the outfits I have worn in the past week or two and there isn't really a tonal one in the bunch. Some a bit more tonal than others, but apparently I am a contrast dresser.<br />Notable notes about each:<br />1. Vintage jacket over vintage sweater worn with vintage jeans.&nbsp;<br />2. Bright pink is still my friend.<br />3. As close to tonal as I get I think.<br />4. Grey jeans (Acne Studios) are part of an amazing thrift day a couple of months ago. Trendy but not sure I like the baggy look on me.<br />5. The brown bag is tonal with the brown jacket at least .<br />6. Underneath the brown.&nbsp;<br />7. Patterned Etro cashmere sweater over vintage silk purple blouse.<br />8. I turned up the jeans to show off the zebra boots and there is an argyle pattern on my sleeves. I liked this in principle but would just wear more cropped jeans next time.<br />9/10. As part of the amazing thrift day mentioned above I found these Nili Lotan corduroy pants. This is probably the outfit with the most recently made items, although it is all second hand.</p> <p>Thoughts: I am definitely a contrast dresser. The last outfit is as close to tonal as I get I think. I enjoy having some matching or tonal elements but don't seem to go all the way.&nbsp;<br />Anyway, I have my favorites but would be happy to hear yours first. And if my hair looks different every day it is because I still haven't figured out what to do with this awkward length. Thanks for looking! </p>
