And an interesting and amusing side of your personality. I hope you will show us pictures of your new wackadoodle items.</p> <p>I don't think I own any items which fit that description. I do have statement and bold pieces, but none wackadoodle items. I may have had some earlier in my life--including some exotic clothing items bought in other countries, but I rarely wore them after I came home, so I donated them. I want the things I own to be versatile for my lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe/page/2#post-1863326 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 16:33:26 +0000 Janet 1863326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point about bold vs wacky, Angie. I don’t really do “wacky” either — it just doesn’t feel right on me. I feel too obtrusive or silly. But I do love a bold piece. </p> <p>However, once again, I feel like “bold” and “wacky” are in the eyes of the beholder. I got a weird backhanded compliment (along the lines of “I would never be brave enough to wear that!”) in TX a few years ago because I was wearing a snake print sweatshirt. Really not that weird, but to a certain audience, clearly I seemed a little wacky! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe/page/2#post-1863323 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 16:07:34 +0000 Angie 1863323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry about your tiara, <b>Carla</b>. Hope you find another.&nbsp;</p> <p>There is nothing wacky in my wardrobe. Lots of bright statements - a few pieces with Yorkies on them - but nothing wacky. I'm not a quirky person, and it's reflected my style.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Xmas pullover is simply very bold. Not wacky.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863304 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 12:04:30 +0000 krishnidoux 1863304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a good question! I am sorry about your loss regarding your tiara. It was most probably a difficult decision but you didn't hesitate to give it away in order to help a fund raising, which is in itself very commendable. It's certainly a very noble way to end this love&nbsp;relationship.</p> <p>For the moment, I am going through a phase of self affirmation, and my wakadoodle is a black tee-shirt featuring a skull and the word Megabitch. Now as I am a teacher to young adults, and now happens to be exam time. So the tee-shirt waits in my drawer. For the moment. ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863303 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 11:08:59 +0000 Style Fan 1863303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some statement pieces but nothing that comes close to wackadoodle.&nbsp; At least I don't think I do.&nbsp; I certainly like unusual pieces but I am dressing more conservatively these days.&nbsp; I have a faux fur wrap from 2004.&nbsp; I would call that statement.&nbsp; I will pull it out soon.&nbsp; I also have a handbag with dogs on it.&nbsp; (Warning:&nbsp; Do not go to the Vet's office with this bag!!!&nbsp; The Vet will try to buy it from me.)</p> <p>The right piece will come along for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863300 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 09:45:13 +0000 Sal 1863300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure if any of my pieces quite make it to full wackadoodle status..</p> <p>My faux fur is definitely a statement but still a touch too conservative.</p> <p>I think you should go for it when you find something that sings out to you and calls your name...</p> <p>But not literally:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863297 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 08:13:48 +0000 Bijou 1863297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few statement pieces and others may think they are 'whackadoodle' but to me they are just a bit of fun. Accessories and t-shirts seem to be easier for me to incorporate into my regular wear. I can't see me wearing a tiara, although I love wearing statement necklaces and chokers. </p> <p>My favourite item is my monster bag, but really it is just a regular tote and very practical. I also like my Hello Kitty t-shirt and tend to wear it with a tougher support act so that it does not look like I am trying to be 8 years old again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863284 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 05:21:05 +0000 Gigi 1863284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a lot of statement items but nothing that I would consider truly whackadoodle, but I have worn navy blue lipstick on a couple of occasions, if that qualifies as an accessory! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863279 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 04:40:49 +0000 Anonymous 1863279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of many whackadoodle purchases that bring me joy is my Dino necklace! I also just purchased a Milly clutch shaped/colored like a rainbow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863265 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 03:15:36 +0000 annagybe 1863265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, yes the market was on Frenchmen Street. They said it was the first time it opened. I was there in the end of September. Googling showed two different markets, the original was evicted I guess, and honestly I can't remember which one I visited.<br /> La Pedestrienne, there were two typewriter poets. One in his 50-60's, he was talking to someone who appeared to be local. The other was 20-30's and unoccupied. So I approached him. I can't remember his name, but he looked stereotypical hipster. Anyways I asked for a poem about my father &amp; taking care of him. It was good &amp; I even sniffled a bit reading it.<br /> Sorry to derail the thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863259 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 02:50:46 +0000 Janet 1863259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, was that the market on Frenchmen? I got a little leather and pearl ring there. Fun stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863254 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 01:53:15 +0000 JAileen 1863254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I have anything that fits this description in my wardrobe.

(Sorry to derail.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863243 Sun, 26 Nov 2017 00:59:29 +0000 annagybe 1863243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh as far as my most recent whackadoodle purchase. A large silver wire tyrannosaur rex necklace, it's about 3-4" ( 7.5-10 cm) wide<br /> It was at a night market featuring local artists in New Orleans. I also bought a poem from a guy with a manual typewriter who was composing on the spot </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863230 Sat, 25 Nov 2017 21:36:58 +0000 Joha 1863230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes! I know exactly what you mean. After looking at my now decidedly black, white and blue wardrobe I too missed some fun stuff. Red hat wearer and long time miffy fan that I am. And that's what I found today.<br /> <a href="https://www.irregularchoice.com/us/collections/muppets/daredevil-bag-a.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.irregularchoice.co.....bag-a.html</a><br /> <a href="https://www.irregularchoice.com/us/collections/muppets/party-animal-a.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.irregularchoice.co.....mal-a.html</a></p> <p>These are such fun, colorful, crazy and impractical things - now - could someone win the lottery for me please? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863219 Sat, 25 Nov 2017 20:23:18 +0000 Carla 1863219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES! It is the feeling of irrational joy that comes with such an item or garment. You have articulated it it perfectly approprio. My red cons come close.. And I DO mean wackadoodle in a good way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863171 Sat, 25 Nov 2017 07:43:55 +0000 approprio 1863171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Diana and Shevia said. Many of the oversized garments, some of the 80s vintage, statement footwear...the list goes on. Yes, you could say it's my jam, but it's one way to look interesting and be fashion-proof. </p> <p>The one item in my wardrobe I'd consider truly ridiculous are the Tokyo Bopper flatform sneakers. Pure kawaii. They fill me with irrational joy and make me feel like a cartoon character. </p> <p>I like Anna's suggestions for you. You could also experiment with high concept sportswear (I'm thinking Stella McCartney or Gucci-like) and I could see you in a pair of discoball sneakers. You should definitely get another tiara. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863129 Fri, 24 Nov 2017 23:41:53 +0000 harmonica 1863129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A leopard coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863065 Fri, 24 Nov 2017 16:42:08 +0000 rachylou 1863065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t know that I own anything whackadoodle, isn’t that interesting? It’s my combos that are crazy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863063 Fri, 24 Nov 2017 15:46:19 +0000 Janet 1863063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, one person’s whackadoodle is another person’s commonplace, so who am I to say what IS whackadoodle? ;-)</p> <p>I guess it’s a statement piece that, for the wearer, is just a little more “out there” than their usual. </p> <p>The first thing that comes to mind for me is this vest. I don’t know if other people see it as whackadoodle or not. I don’t but I can understand if it’s perceived that way by others. It’s definitley the kind of thing that requires me to be in the right mood to wear it, and the right occasion. It’s not for everyday but it’s a lot of fun when I am in the mood to wear it. If that qualifies as whackadoodle, sign me up. :-)</p> <p>I think accessories are the easiest way to add something like this — jewelry, a fun statement bag, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863058 Fri, 24 Nov 2017 14:38:48 +0000 Anonymous 1863058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the LEAST wackadoodle type you'll find when it comes to clothes.&nbsp;<br />At least if you're differentiating between wacky and statement-y. Joy's earrings are statements to my eye, not wacky, for example . &nbsp;Carla, Lennard Taylor in Winnipeg has a handprinted long white shirt in his collection that I can see you in. It's $$ though.<a rel="nofollow" href="https://lennardtaylor.com/collections/front-page/products/hand-painted-brenda-swing-shirt">https://lennardtaylor.com/coll.....wing-shirt</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863056 Fri, 24 Nov 2017 14:15:47 +0000 cindysmith 1863056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do my shot-up clothes count? I regularly wear garments that I've let the guys use for target practice.<br /> I am getting the lunch lady hat (find) in brown for Christmas, it's definitely unique in a crafty sort of way.<br /> I also havery a Keychain collection that goes everywhere with me, clipped to the outside of my purse by a giraffe print carabiner</p> <p>Etsy is great for unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. It's where I got the lunch lady hat, and I regularlysee really cool stuff there, for all types of style personas/tastes, often at a very fair price </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863026 Fri, 24 Nov 2017 04:24:19 +0000 Jaime 1863026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear big hats and would wear the red hat in an instant. I have admired Shrimps faux fur for a while, although I have not found anything similar for myself. There are other things mentioned here that I would not wear - not because I don't like them but they are not me. So I think I am trying to say one woman's unwearable eccentric is another woman's jam and the key is finding the piece/s that speak to you.&nbsp;<br />Or, in short, I own and wear selectively. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863020 Fri, 24 Nov 2017 02:43:46 +0000 Carla 1863020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Annagybe-I think you are on the right track. A one of a kind artisan item, starting designer, or vintage? I do love the red hat though! </p> <p>Joy-you must do red for the holidays.</p> <p>Diana-EXACTLY! All your items are unusual but wearable. #3 is just so fashionable, and the bespoke wedding hat is something that you should keep forever.</p> <p>Srah-scarves are clever like that - kind of like wearing red knickers under black clothes!</p> <p>Ouch! Fashion intern, a comment like that is the kiss of death unless your love for the item transcends the unwanted opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wackadoddle-in-the-wardrobe#post-1863016 Fri, 24 Nov 2017 01:50:33 +0000 annagybe 1863016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd also look at Canadian designers.
