I do like purely classic clothes on a lot of people, they look superb but I feel meh in them myself. I feel I can do better. I think i'm slowly getting there with my own style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2224226 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 22:57:07 +0000 N 2224226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I think you are right. I'm not entirely sure if its on purpose or just what is around right now as 90s are having a revival. Perhaps its a bit of both. The jeans i've picked are 90s (I think). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2224223 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 22:52:11 +0000 Ginger 2224223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>"Once I decided that I need to love each one on its own, I started gravitating towards more edgy things, mixed in with some essentials."</p> <p>That is such a vital realization. It has an immense effect on how happy I feel with a given outfit. And interesting how your personal style preferences really come out when you stop playing safe and expected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2224172 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 20:40:16 +0000 Irina 2224172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really cool outfit! You look fabulous.<br />It seems you are finding your style. I see consistency in what you buy or consider buying and enjoy your posts. Edgy and pretty works wonderfully for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2224101 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 16:37:43 +0000 Angie 2224101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look super cute! I see '90s influences.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2224069 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 14:40:23 +0000 kkards 2224069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the juxtaposition of the skater skirt and the black high top sneakers. And now with your list of may adds I’m picturing this with that longer blazer!<br /> Nice that you are getting a feel for what you want and how you want to dress.<br /> (Re the rub-I had the same issue with my high top sneakers &amp; found body glide really helped) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2224056 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 13:02:45 +0000 Anonymous 2224056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to getting the burgundy smoking jacket! Maybe I need one too....<br /> Edgy suits you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2224011 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 09:59:43 +0000 N 2224011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@star, the boot is actually a rain boot, but I think I can get away with it during winter. We have snow on the ground for a lot of the time. Need waterproof boots/shoes on at all times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2224010 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 09:51:40 +0000 N 2224010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, oh I haven't, I should definitely watch that then!<br /> I think I swung too far into the "mum" role, in that basically after having my first I just wanted really boring what I thought were mum appropriate clothes. I now realise that mums are people too and might also like wearing fashionable clothing haha </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2224005 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 08:43:34 +0000 Bijou 2224005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great outfit, you look gorgeous and I love the new finds. You definitely suit the edgy pieces and styles. It is nice to see you reclaim some of your former style in a more grown up way.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have you seen the Cruella Movie? The clothes were amazing and inspired by Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen...just so stunning (the movie was fun too)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2224004 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 08:34:55 +0000 Jessikams 2224004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these proportions on you!

Great to see your old photos too- you look great in those safety pin earrings! The direction you’re going does seem like an older more refined version of that? Does it suit your life in Japan? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2223992 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 07:08:57 +0000 Star (Lise) 2223992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this chunky boot and the skirt with the lace hem.&nbsp; The skirt can be dressed up or down easily.&nbsp; I love khaki and navy together, and good with black &amp; white too.&nbsp; Adding edge to more classic pieces with accessories is a good strategy.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2223991 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 06:59:27 +0000 N 2223991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm considering something like this. The skirt is Khaki but hard to tell from the photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2223983 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 05:53:24 +0000 Star (Lise) 2223983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!&nbsp; Classic with an edgy twist.&nbsp; My preferred style too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2223979 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 05:36:36 +0000 N 2223979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonus...some of my edgier looks when I was a young adult *blush* don't judge me haha. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2223977 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 05:00:18 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2223977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely khaki pairs well with those! I think those are classic pairings and really interesting in that each pair (khaki + white, khaki + navy, etc) has a very different, strong connotation.<br /> I agree with you that the pieces you’ve been getting generally are flexible and could be worn classically/conservatively or with more of an edge. I love things like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2223971 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 03:31:29 +0000 N 2223971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! </p> <p>Haha yes rachylou I love Vivienne Westwood and the punk type look popular here in Japan. I'd never go as far as that because I also love more classical pieces so perhaps meet in the middle "classic rock" haha. </p> <p>SF very true. There are some things I still like, even though they are essentials, (or is it basics...I keep getting confused haha) my Filippa K tops are one very basic piece i'll keep buying. When I'm next in Europe i'll go to a Denham store and try on a load of fits to see which one I like the most and get a few pairs. Online I think I like a certain fit but I think its easier in person. I also like Breton tops, so i'll get some of those and maybe try make them rocky? Haha not sure how yet...but i'll see. </p> <p>After that, I like both polished, dressed up looks but with a hint of rock (pins, studs etc). Anyway, I think i've realised its better not to over think. Some things I absolutely love on other people. I'm one of those people who loves so many different styles on people and really I just need to stick to one for myself. I think I realised when I was planning my birthday outfit, what I liked. Def not full on punk or like grunge or emo/scene but you know some select elements. I think most will be in the form of accessories, bags and shoes etc and leave the clothes more simple. The skirt I just bought could easily be styled in a more classic way with loafers or heels or ballet flats if I have a major change of heart. </p> <p>I really want a YSL burgundy velvet smoking jacket omg *love* haha...that might be a 5 year goal. Need to save up. </p> <p>I also realised I want to bring in little khaki, but does that pair well with black, white and navy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2223964 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 03:17:48 +0000 rachylou 2223964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well now! An interesting turn of events I wouldn’t have guessed rocker is where your heart lies from your earlier collections. That’s important! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2223949 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 02:39:21 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2223949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s good news! You were so concerned to get it right, I never could tell if you liked the very nice things you were picking out. You’re planning to keep them for a long time, so it’s good that you are getting things you’re excited about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2223946 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 02:01:22 +0000 Brooklyn 2223946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good! The sneakers are perfect with this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2223938 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 01:34:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 2223938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I hope your wardrobe is very slowly increasing in size since you had so little before- opposite problem to mine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2223934 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 01:28:56 +0000 Jaime 2223934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! Versatile with an edge skirt looks terrific on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-im-wearing-today-quick-trip-into-the-city-centre#post-2223902 Tue, 14 Sep 2021 23:17:20 +0000 N 2223902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bought two new pieces this month. Stella McCartney skater skirt and Vivienne Westwood (vegan leather) converse style shoes. I must admit they aren't the comfiest right out of the box but hopefully after a couple of wears they'll get a bit better. I remember when I got my Nike high tops years back it was the first time in a while I'd worn high tops so my legs sort of had to get used to the pressure and rubbing where the top was. It settled after a little while, hope this will be the same.</p> <p>I really really love the skirt. I wish I could get it in white and burgundy too, maybe even khaki and navy (i'm the type who likes to have the exact same thing in various colour ways). </p> <p>I'm realising when I put together my previous want to buy collections, they looked good together and pretty but I wasn't excited to buy any of them alone. Like I wasn't in love with each single piece. They were just meh. Once I decided that I need to love each one on its own, I started gravitating towards more edgy things, mixed in with some essentials. I think its kind of veering towards rock chic (my music taste is rock so I suppose that's why). </p>
