I am very glad that the proportions in #3 work. </p> <p>I am feeling much happier now. I am spending the weekend at a dance competition which is something I love doing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-612109 Fri, 04 May 2012 09:43:44 +0000 Mona 612109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you are feeling better now. the weather is also grey and dreary here and that makes me feel not as motivated either. I understand what you mean by blending in! all your outifts look great but the tunic in first is my favourite. Aida has analyzed the proportions very well in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-612100 Fri, 04 May 2012 08:04:46 +0000 jayne 612100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 looks perfect, my favorite of the shots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-612072 Fri, 04 May 2012 06:07:34 +0000 kellygirl 612072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your fall back outfits. I can relate to wanting to blend in! The first outfit is simple but still interesting because of the detailing, layering and belting on the top. Love the color of 2/3. The short over long totally works on you. I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-612066 Fri, 04 May 2012 05:56:22 +0000 ManidipaM 612066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm always intrigued by the idea of default comfort dressing, which is so different for everyone --- and yours is very stylish, Tanya. I think the neutral outfit is just that --- neutral; but hardly boring or bland! I love the textural detail of that tunic and the smart shoes. I like the breezy blue and white too, but can't comment on jacket lengths as I'm rather unsure of myself when it comes to proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-612022 Fri, 04 May 2012 04:04:02 +0000 christieanne 612022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The weekend is nearly upon us and hopefully you will feel better by then.<br /> In the meantime, I understand what you mean by having a comfort outfit at the ready. The silver tunic is fantastic on you and suits the bill. I like the turquoise over white too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-612016 Fri, 04 May 2012 04:00:22 +0000 Angie 612016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How did the dentist app go? Are you feeling okay? (((HUGS))). Hang in there!</p> <p>You look stylish even when you want to blend in and be left alone :). I really like the proportions of #3. You look smashing as always! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-611884 Fri, 04 May 2012 02:01:53 +0000 Aida 611884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, to me the proportions work because the jeans are a much longer block of color than either the tunic bottom or the jacket. As a pair, the tunic+jacket and jeans are each about 1/2 so to me this is like 1/4, 1/4, 1/2. A further cropped jacket would add a bit more proportional drama for sure, but Tanya is long enough for these proportions to work really well to my eye </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-611858 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:47:00 +0000 Sarah A 611858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>interesting for sure how we dress our moods and fall back on formulas that make us feel safe and happy. I like both 1 and 2. In 3 I think a little more cropped jacket or a bit longer tunic would be preferable to separate the jacket hem from the tunic hem a bit more, this look seems a bit like thirds proportionally to me, but I am not an expert on the matter and Aida does have a great eye... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-611853 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:42:02 +0000 krishnidoux 611853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting observations. I kinda like #1 too, and thing it would be supercute with a pop of bright colour as accessory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-611848 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:38:25 +0000 Ana 611848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so great, Tanya! I love how you're updating pieces you've had in your wardrobe for a while. You look perfectly polished and on trend. Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-611844 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:34:32 +0000 Aida 611844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look lovely! I really like the short-over-long in #3, and an even-more-cropped jacket would also work there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-611834 Fri, 04 May 2012 01:27:17 +0000 Jaime 611834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in 1 and 2. 2 is a gorgeous color. I am proportion challenged but I do think the jacket in 3 is short for the long tunic. I hope with a clearer sense will speak up though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-611747 Fri, 04 May 2012 00:20:29 +0000 Anonymous 611747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Tanya, you could never blend into a wall! I love your neutral ensemble as much as the brightly colored one. This is a great uniform for you! For someone whose had a couple of meh days, you look mighty fab. I'm not good on tunic/cropped jacket proportions, but maybe Sveta or someone who is will chime in on this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws-or-outfit-strategies-for-blah-days#post-611735 Fri, 04 May 2012 00:08:17 +0000 Tanya 611735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are my outfits from yesterday and today. Both days were of the type where nothing is quite right: the weather was difficult and overcast, I wasn't feeling quite well, there was tons of work and related stress, a dreaded dentist appointment and 2 h spent running around the mall chasing a replacement watch band for my Michael Kors watch. Apparently white leather bands in the right size are impossible to come by, as nobody has them! </p> <p>On this type of days, my go-to formula is skinnies, tunic and comfortable shoes. In the summer that means a thin woven tunic and shoes with a little wedge, in the winter I wear sweater tunics and tall flat boots (with skinnies tucked in). The interesting observation is that these outfits can have two very different vibes: they are either very neutral and boring (like #1) where I basically want to blend with the wall and be left alone, or happy and cheerful with colors and patterns (like #2) where I use that to cheer myself up. I don't really know how I choose, I guess it depends on my emotions at the moment.</p> <p>I would be curious to know what you think of proportions in #3, that is of relative lengths of the jacket and tunic. Do they go well together? Oh, and I realized that all the items in both outfits are 3-5 years old.</p> <p>#1: silver-grey tunic - Arden B, black pinstriped skinnies - Rich&amp;Skinny, pewter wedges - Me Too</p> <p>#2/3: turquoise tunic - NY&amp;Co, cream skinnies - 7FAMK, striped blazer - Club Monaco, yellow/cream mini wedges - Cole Haan. </p>
