Part of the dread comes from not having what I actually need in my closet. &nbsp;Like many of us, I buy things I like and know will work for me and don't always need to be tried on , and thus repeat the same thing over and over again - to the point where I have 10 black tank tops and 10 grey ones. And one pair of pants . &nbsp;Lol. &nbsp;I don't do well shopping for things that are trickier to fit because , well, it's disheartening and quite frankly I hate trying on clothes. &nbsp; And I just do not see what I like out there at retail! &nbsp;Anyways - thanks for the comments - I didn't know you had the Nickel &amp; Suede stuff too. I love it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night/page/2#post-1669656 Mon, 30 May 2016 16:45:55 +0000 Elizabeth P 1669656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it amazing that you find it hard to get dressed some days, because seriously, every outfit you post is fabulous.&nbsp; Really.&nbsp; But I hear you... it's very depressing to still have that "I&nbsp; have nothing to wear" feeling after spending lots, and having a fairly big closet.&nbsp; I do think it happens to all of us... be it the weather, how we're feeling that day, if we've gained or lost weight, a variety of factors.&nbsp; </p> <p>Now about these outfits specifically, of course I love them.&nbsp; For one, we are bracelet sisters.&nbsp; And black white and silver is pretty much my fall back, so what's not to love? I think this butt vest looks great on you, and I like how you've made it both sporty and pulled together at the same time.&nbsp; A goal of mine, as I do love the comfort of gear... :)&nbsp; I think this amount of distressing in the jeans is so you, that it's not about trendy.&nbsp; It's you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night/page/2#post-1669624 Mon, 30 May 2016 15:03:38 +0000 Anonymous 1669624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, with your glass on you look like a younger version of Jamie Lee Curtis. &nbsp;WOW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night/page/2#post-1669593 Mon, 30 May 2016 13:14:21 +0000 lyn67 1669593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now, your cold shoulders top is perfection, it is so hard to find a small opening on the shoulders here. As always YLF- love the skirted legging's outfit, too:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night/page/2#post-1669470 Mon, 30 May 2016 03:30:15 +0000 Anonymous 1669470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, you have the sophisticated look mastered, even on weekends. Many of us admire your style. There is nothing wrong with blazers, tee and jeans or black pants, especially with your great footwear collection. It is a uniform that you can tweek endlessly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night/page/2#post-1669466 Mon, 30 May 2016 03:04:55 +0000 Beth Ann 1669466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firstly, I relate with the trouble dressing, and the sea of tops --- I attribute part of my issue to being in the middle of a huge life/work transition, but it's definitely disorienting.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the way you've created two fab outfits by going back to watch you best -- create minimal outfits with equal parts classic and edge. &nbsp;And the little details -- the leather band and the orange mani, set it off to perfection.</p> <p>The second outfit is a favorite of mine --- the distressing doesn't seem OTT here, and I love the way the cold shoulder draws attention to your face.</p> <p>I also vote for an edit -- I think a big holding zone is maybe called for. &nbsp;You might find items returning to your closet over time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night/page/2#post-1669214 Sun, 29 May 2016 16:20:47 +0000 Anonymous 1669214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna - see , yes, that type of art is among my favourite: &nbsp;bugs and skulls and flowers. &nbsp; I don't know the term Vanitas, but I'll be googling it shortly &nbsp;</p> <p>Angie - I know, I know, I need to get that closet cleaned out again. &nbsp;I really don't want to do it - to try on things that are going to be tight now - it's too depressing. &nbsp;I hate that I sounded whiny - and it's not because I don't know how to dress or what to wear, it's more about not having the things in my closet that I DO want to wear. &nbsp;I can not seem to find work clothes that I like , so I &nbsp;buy the same grey sleeveless tunics/long tanks, white t-shirts, and jeans every time I go shopping because I cant' find anything else to buy. I used to blame it on having gained so much weight , and that is true, &nbsp;but I wonder if it's also because I'm at &nbsp;an age where I can't figure out where I fit in stylistically.....clothes appear too young, or too old and nothing out there seems to represent me or how I want to look. &nbsp;</p> <p>And friends, thanks again for your comments: &nbsp;a drapier top with the leggings would be a good idea, most definitely. &nbsp;I have other skirted leggings with the skirt being far, far less body con, and those are almost a different breed. &nbsp;I think I may relegate these to walking and working out, or for casual wear with a longer, drapey top. &nbsp;They weren't expensive so I don't mind if they are a once-in-awhile thing.</p> <p>I do apologize for sounding whiny and insecure - there is NOTHING worse than listening to someone carrying on about themselves. &nbsp;When I talk about not "feeling it" with my work clothes, I'm talking about not knowing what to wear, and not reaching for those things I do have. &nbsp;I think I have a handle on how to dress the body I do have, I just can't find more than the same 3 pieces over and over again : blazer, t and jeans or black pants. I know those flatter, and everything else holds little appeal. Might be time to back away from fashion for awhile and not worry about it . &nbsp;Too much thinking about it never helps me - it only frustrates me. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night/page/2#post-1669159 Sun, 29 May 2016 15:24:49 +0000 annagybe 1669159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the first outfit. It's very cool; white sneakers are a great touch. And no I don't think you're too old to wear a skirted legging.<br />As far as shredded denim, somehow the white works. "Vanitas". That art history descriptor for those perfect floral still lifes with dead bugs and skulls for Dutch paintings to show the temporal nature of life. Ok that was probably a bit way overthought. Hope you get what I'm trying to say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1669141 Sun, 29 May 2016 14:53:38 +0000 jill58 1669141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I like both of these outfits a lot. I love the out-doing-errands look and the cold shoulder top looks wonderful on you. It's hard for me to imagine you having any insecurities about your clothes or the way you look, but I guess most of us have it to some degree.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1669140 Sun, 29 May 2016 14:52:40 +0000 Angie 1669140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't look like you have any trouble at all, Lisa. TRULY!</p> <p>Your athelisure look is fabulously fashionable. Your white jeans and cold shoulder look are Killer. Great accessories as always.&nbsp;</p> <p>You need a closet edit though - as much as that makes you feel guilty (which I read in another post yesterday). Try to learn from the shopping mistakes, and make peace with it. It's going to feel SO good to clean up. We have ALL felt this way!&nbsp;</p> <p>Lisa, your style is Killer. Everyone else here thinks so too. I wish I could wave my magic wand and make you believe it too.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1669130 Sun, 29 May 2016 14:31:53 +0000 MTBGirl 1669130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad you found your glasses! I am wowed by your cold shoulder/white jeans outfit! I've never worn distressed jeans but like the look on you and others. You have just the right amount of "polish" paired with them.&nbsp;<br />I think that I struggle just as much on the weekends as I do for workdays. Since YLF I try to wear better outfits (and items at that-instead of old demoted stuff) at home so I'm working on it. Maybe I should try doing weekend WIWs like you do, that might help. Anyways, YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1669125 Sun, 29 May 2016 14:27:11 +0000 Tanya 1669125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What stunning outfits, both of them.&nbsp; The first one has a super cool, relaxed vibe, and the second one is edgy and interesting.&nbsp;&nbsp; I know you mentioned fairly often how you are unhappy about something wardrobe related, but honestly, every time you post an outfit, I think that is is a ten and I would love tom wear something like that myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1669122 Sun, 29 May 2016 14:20:00 +0000 Anonymous 1669122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, you always look so well put together and I draw so much inspiration from your posts, that I can't believe you have trouble getting dressed--though I understand and definitely relate. </p> <p>I like your first look a lot--great for the daytime errands you planned. And I love the second with the cold-shoulder tee. It's the first time I've seen one in real life and it's just WOW on you. </p> <p>I absolutely think distressed and ripped jeans are on trend big time. A couple of months ago, someone posted about jeans being 'out' and athleisure/leggings 'in' among young women, so I paid more attention. In the 2 college towns in my area, almost all the young women have been wearing jeans (light wash blue, grey and white), and all those jeans are ripped at the knees and sometimes on the thighs. </p> <p> I love your furry accessories model in pic 4. </p> <p>I have more trouble dressing for weekends than workdays. I'm with you on loving jeans, but find I have a harder time styling them than my work looks--maybe because I have 5 days experience and practice on work outfits to 2 on weekends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1669104 Sun, 29 May 2016 13:27:42 +0000 Chris987 1669104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa I suspect many&nbsp;of us have been where you are at one time or another. I certainly have. Others have also chimed in here. Your outfits always look really wonderful to me, stylish, great pieces,&nbsp;nice colors, great accessories (still loving that UNO DE 50&nbsp;dragonfly necklace you posted and got to see it up close in one of their stores in Boston recently...stunning jewelry), great hair...but if you are not feeling it then compliments may not help much Didn't you just start a new job recently? Being in transition can do strange things....even if it's a good change. </p> <p>p.s. looks like Puffy is white therefore you also have a coordinating pet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1669089 Sun, 29 May 2016 12:43:57 +0000 Colette 1669089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the easiest time dressing to go to work and dressy occasions and the hardest time dressing casual and on the weekends. Which is why I NEVER know what to wear because I don't go to work in an office and my life is just one casual day after another. And Olen, along with you in many other posts, having me nodding along because I never had a problem getting dressed, but one day I woke up and didn't feel right in anything.</p> <p>Lisa, you look really great in both outfits. The skirted leggings do not look hoochie at all on you. I think the white sneakers do a great job of grounding the outfit and keeping it sporty and cool. And I certainly hope I'm not at the expiration date for wearing leggings because I wear them all the time. (I had them on yesterday too but your outfit was way cooler and more thought out than mine.) The white jeans and cold shoulder top outfit is really fab. (That top is what I've been searching for!) It is enough but not too much, a cool yet sophisticated vibe. I do think the distressed jeans work so well with your style. Since I'm not trendy nor do I have a clue about future trends, I'm not going to speak to whether or not the rips are going out. (But if that's part of your style, does it matter if it's trendy or out? That's something I think about all the time.) Really great choice on the necklace, I'll say it again, you accessorize so well with your amazing jewelry collection. And your makeup and hair are polished and perfect, you look gorgeous as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1669062 Sun, 29 May 2016 09:52:46 +0000 Maneera 1669062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White sneaks look great with the first outfit. Sporty cute ----definitely an outfit I'd wear in a heartbeat. </p> <p>Now the second outfit is pretty damn fab! Why oh why can't I find a cold shoulder top like THAT! You clearly know how to look smart all weekend all, Lisa </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1669058 Sun, 29 May 2016 09:27:24 +0000 Brooklyn 1669058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree the boxy top is the way to go with the leggings outfit. Fun casual look. Love the cold shoulder outfit. I just bought a long sleeve top that is very similar. I like that the shoulder opening is quite small/discreet. I have seen some that look like a big gaping hole. And I agree with you 100% about white jeans. I had a non distressed pair I bought about 3 years ago that I wore about 8 times in total (never very happily) before snapping last summer and hacking them into shorts. I much prefer them now with the frayed/unfinished hem. So I do like the distressing on your white jeans. I think if I ever invest in some white jeans again they will either have to be distressed or a bit moto-ish (I have visions of zips and those knee pad things - no idea what they are called). So that they look a little less crisp and dressy. Who cares whether it's super trendy or not if you enjoy the look. Anyhow, I am rambling again! You look fab as always! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1669052 Sun, 29 May 2016 08:56:17 +0000 Sally 1669052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tend to wear jeans on my days off and black pants on my work days so not very exciting.<br /> I actually really like those leggings. They look super comfortable and funky....kind of like the comfort of being in gear but not being in gear.<br /> The cold shoulder outfit though is fabulous. It is a chic stylish look but relaxed. I didn't realise they were distressed jeans. I like distressed jeans to look at but can't bring myself to buy jeans that are already distressed...I know..my weird hang up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1669025 Sun, 29 May 2016 07:39:49 +0000 rachylou 1669025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Perking up*...Did someone say hoochie?! Of course, I'm very attracted to the skirted leggings. A smooth fit, which I think can be hard to find. I don't know about you looking big, but maybe a drapier top would feel better with the 'butt vest.'</p> <p>But as to the question...Definitely have more outfit freedom on my days off. Not that I always take advantage of it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1669018 Sun, 29 May 2016 07:27:16 +0000 Ledonna N. 1669018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Hoochie". Lol hahaha. Ha ha ha. Lol<br /> Dead at catalog model for Sears.</p> <p>You are really killing it in the cold shoulder top look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1668999 Sun, 29 May 2016 05:15:00 +0000 Anonymous 1668999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the kind words, ladies. I realize my daytime outfit may be a bit off beat - and truthfully, although I liked it, I did catch glimpse of myself myself in a store mirror during the day and just about died at how big I looked, but....it was comfortable and felt pulled together - just not likely to be worn as is again. &nbsp;</p> <p>Here are the wedges . &nbsp;The other pair are white leather with a multi floral pattern . &nbsp;(Gucci knock off ) . &nbsp;Evening hair is just fussed with more - and I am having a hate-on with my hair lately, which is ironic. &nbsp;I have an appointment with a new stylist in a different salon coming up this week. &nbsp;</p> <p>And Olen, first off : if English is not your first language, you are pretty impressive with it as it. &nbsp;And you are sounding EXACTLY like me. Exactly. Dressing was a snap - everything fit and worked.......until it didn't. </p> <p>And friends, I know about the leggings, - I get it, and am taking into consideration the notion that I may be beyond &nbsp;my expiry date in these. I am the first to admit they are a bit more body con than I imagined when I bought them. &nbsp;I'm not oblivious to the controversy around these , and they may be relegated to workout wear from here on in. Which is totally fine with me. &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1668982 Sun, 29 May 2016 02:59:57 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1668982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both looks are fantastic, Lisa. The first one seems a fresh and modern take on skirted leggings. The top reminds me of Kit &amp; Ace--similar vibe, with that sleek, sophisticated simple but expensive look. I like the white sneaker choice--understated cool. <br />The white jeans outfit looks very much like your style--the distressed jeans give a little bit of toughness that I enjoy seeing in your outfits. I love the chunky chain necklace, too, with the cold-shoulder top. And I'm excited to see your open-toed booties. They remind me a little bit of my new sandals, and I feel cool and with-it by association. </p> <p>I think some of my non-work looks are my best, because that's when I get to wear my beloved jeans. So I guess I feel the opposite to you in that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1668975 Sun, 29 May 2016 02:30:54 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1668975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh, I think it's all working for you, and very well, too. I hauled myself out today to do errands in 90 degree (32 degrees in other non US places) heat in my highly ventilated destroyed white denim shorts. I figured having a teenage daughter with me would shield from excess looks at the grocery and wine store.</p> <p>I am not seeing these wedge shoes you've duplicated very closely but would like to.</p> <p>When I am bored or stuck in ordinary fashions I find myself re-focusing on the athletic / gear styles. Did I need the latest Lulu and Sweaty Betty hauls? Likely not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1668972 Sun, 29 May 2016 02:19:40 +0000 Cococat 1668972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like both outfits Lisa. I like the way you have paired a more boxy style top with the skirted leggings. I bought a pair a while ago and its just now cool enough to wear them. I have been looking for inspiration. </p> <p>I love that you take the time to choose specific accessories for each outfit. I tend to get a bit lazy, but you show me that it's really worth the time. Your accessories always look brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1668970 Sun, 29 May 2016 02:16:06 +0000 Joyce B 1668970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You may not be feeling it but your looks are always good, you are doing something right with your outfits.<br /> I love the cold shoulder one and the other outfit is nice and practical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1668962 Sun, 29 May 2016 02:08:01 +0000 Jaime 1668962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have come to realize I have a bizarre association with the butt vest sort of legging so I will move right along to your second outfit, which is excellent. Great balance between the shoulders and the ankle exposure and very current without looking the least bit trying too hard. Your hair looks great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1668952 Sun, 29 May 2016 01:53:05 +0000 Peri 1668952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your hair! Great going out look. Isn't it funny how "tons of eye makeup" never reads as much at all in pictures? Makes me wonder how much those magazine models have on where you can really see it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1668948 Sun, 29 May 2016 01:41:21 +0000 catgirl 1668948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am definitely a weekend dresser. But what suits me even more is having major surgery and wearing the same old St Patrick's day tee from Old Navy and my mother's stretchy blue cotton skort from Fresh Produce for a week straight. No variety, no thought, no style - just pure comfort and perfectly acceptable if used as a napkin. I could learn a lot from this if I wanted.</p> <p>You look fabulous. I am going to search for a silver leather cuff right now. And I don't care if distressed is in or not, it has always been part of my style and I suspect yours as well, so rock it. Also love your going out hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/weekend-blackwhitesilver-day-and-night#post-1668944 Sun, 29 May 2016 01:30:45 +0000 Suz 1668944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I love both these outfits! #1 feels absolutely fresh and weekend fun. Love the black and grey and white on you and waving to my bracelet twin. Actually, I don't have the silver one (I have the white and the gold, soon never to be worn again with my steel silver hair, ha!) and I love these for summer -- so lightweight.&nbsp;</p> <p>Outfit 2 is sexy and modern without being over the top -- white jeans with rips are quite different than overly distressed blue. But what do I know? I still like distressed blue ones on me, now and again.&nbsp; </p>
