You know yourself well. Your style really comes through in this list in a way that doesn’t happen with some other posters’ lists — not a criticism of others but simply an indication that you do indeed have an essentials-heavy style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097698 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 04:18:06 +0000 Jaime 2097698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reminds me of the book title Simple is not Easy. Your style is essential rich, but still charming, stylish and personal. I should dig that that book up actually.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097696 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 04:16:10 +0000 rachylou 2097696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It <i>is </i>interesting to see how the *essentially*-same essential changes over time... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097607 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 20:27:51 +0000 Helena 2097607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh,thanks so much everyone! xoxo&nbsp; <b>Angie</b>, yay, thanks for the stamp of approval!!<br /><b><br />Jenn</b>, that is a wonderful compliment :)</p> <p><b>Nemosmom</b>, great question, and yes, the change in particular isapparent in the jeans. I would say in January 2019, my most worn jeans were my JBrand skinnies (first find), but were overtaken by my Gap skinnies (3rd find), which have a higher waist (a real mid-rise, I'd say) ... fast forward to the end of the year, and the JBrands are virtually never worn, the Gap skinnies worn infrequently, and now my most worn are slim straight mid waisted and high waisted options (2nd, 4th, 5th finds). A subtle evolution,&nbsp; but one nonetheless! I could foresee going wider again (find 6) as we move into warmer weather in 2020.</p> <p>As to tops in the summer, the last find is my current vibe, but for 2020 I could see something more like this finding a place in my wardrobe (I guess time would tell if it became essential:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens_category/shirts_tops/tee/squareneck-tshirt-in-stripe/AB678">https://www.jcrew.com/p/womens.....ripe/AB678</a> </p> <p>ETA - the button fly jeans are described as skinny, but they are significantly roomier than traditional skinnies, such as the JBrand ones. The don't hug anything :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097594 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 19:46:14 +0000 Jenn 2097594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your wardrobe makes me feel so calm and organized. I like reading about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097572 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 18:45:58 +0000 Suz 2097572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waving to my essentials-rich style sister! You have nailed this. I like how you are evolving your style (ha ha) in gradual increments. This is most comfortable to you and will feel most authentic!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097557 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 17:51:34 +0000 kkards 2097557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES to essential heavy wardrobes! i'm with you, they make getting dressed everyday easy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097546 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 17:00:32 +0000 Angie 2097546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*APPLAUSE*</p> <p>You got this. Evolution in all the right places too.</p> <p>You are one of the forum members with an essential-rich style, and you wear it with the best of them. Rock on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097542 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 16:35:04 +0000 nemosmom 2097542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just read your list again. Did you add anything new/different to your essentials from last year? I see that you have some tweaks (denim silhouette, for example) but I was curious about new items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097538 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 15:15:09 +0000 nemosmom 2097538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your wardrobe is fab and you always look great. You clearly have a firm grasp on your style! - and you are absolutely right: if it ain't broke!&nbsp; ;)&nbsp; I find it interesting to see how your list from last year compares to today. </p> <p>I was also wondering about jewelry. I have a handful of pieces I never leave home without - does that make them essential? I made a list last year... I wonder how accurate it was or is now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097534 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 14:56:12 +0000 Synne 2097534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am behind on this.. a lot! I realize I have been shopping statements like a crazy person. That has left me with many "nothing to wear"-moments, and a puzzled look, becouse what a bout all these new items added!? Heh.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097530 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 14:29:39 +0000 Anonymous 2097530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was wondering a bit about jewelry as an essential too. My wedding ring and 2 little pairs of stud earrings in my second and third hole are always (unless cleaning them) present. But I never go out without bigger gold or copper earrings, and nearly always wear a gold or copper cuff (inc blingy ones)- even left on at the gym and during acupuncture. Angie would probably call them statements though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097528 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 14:20:57 +0000 Bijou 2097528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TG I think my essentials are pretty consistent too. </p> <p>I like to have variety in handbags but not much in my jewellery. I wear the same watch, cuff and rings every day. I always admire others who co-ordinate their jewellery to outfits and have been trying to be a bit more adventurous with my earrings and necklaces - but often skip the necklace and default to simple stud earrings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097526 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 14:04:30 +0000 April 2097526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly, TG - if it ain't broke...&nbsp; You always look terrific, and I admire how well you know what's going on in your closet/outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wardrobe-essentials-2020#post-2097524 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 13:42:59 +0000 Helena 2097524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Angie's essentials post because I am a uniform dresser with an essential-rich style. My list is pretty similar to last year, with a few tweaks:</p> <ul> <li>fine-knit, body-skimming sweaters in dark neutrals/nearly neutrals (black, ink/navy, burgundy) - <i><b>Yep. Same for 2020</b></i></li> <li>dark wash jeans in a skinny or straight fit. - <i><b>For 2020, I'd refine these to be straight (not wearing skinnies as much) and higher in the rise.</b></i></li> <li>crystal stud earrings, Fitbit watch, Tiffany olive branch bracelet - <i><b>For 2020, I'd say silver hoops are my essential earring. My olive branch bracelet needs repair, and I'd add my bird memory necklace, which doesn't come off.</b></i></li> <li><i></i>dark neutral puffer<i> - <b>Yep.</b></i></li> <li>neutral striped t-shirts - <i><b>Yep</b>.</i></li> <li><i></i>belt with silver hardware - <i><b>Yep.</b></i><i></i></li> <li>black flat/low-heel shoes/booties - <i><b>Yep.</b></i></li> <li>fluid tees in neutral shades (navy, blush) (summer) - <b><i>Yep. Although interested to see how to newer t-shirt silhouettes (more fitted and different necklines) influence my summer dressing.&nbsp;</i></b></li> <li>white jeans/shorts (summer) -&nbsp;<i>Yep.</i></li> <li>white flats (Birkenstocks or sneakers) (summer) - <i><b>Yep.</b></i></li> </ul> <div><b><i></i></b>Hey, I guess if it ain't broke, right ..? Looking forward to seeing how other people's lists have evolved, or stayed the same!</div></p> <p> </p>
