It seems like it's been trendy for several years. Is it a particular mix that is current? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-so-2013#post-899642 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:27:53 +0000 Sona 899642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have quite a colelction of so 2013 outfits- one was distressed jeans with a lace/grey pullover and wedge sneakers.I will pull up the others and post pics. I don't think its buying new items for the most part except a bomber and wedge sneaks if you so choose its just using some of the items you have albeit in a different way. dresses with sneaks and a bomber. lace with distressed jeans. pattern mixing. hi lo hems. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-so-2013#post-899475 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 11:18:19 +0000 Vildy 899475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ not seen it on any street style features but they're really trying to bring <br />back the skirt suit<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-so-2013#post-899448 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:01:39 +0000 Raisin 899448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm curious too! &nbsp;I think Cocolion hit a lot of the major points. &nbsp;Thanks! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-so-2013#post-899425 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 07:50:23 +0000 Lantana 899425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gasp, pant!

I wonder about that all the time. Like, if something is not so 2013 does that automatically make it dated? What makes something dated vs classic? Is dated just last year's trends that are over?&nbsp;<br /><br />Oh what puzzles! If I could grasp the answers to those questions I would feel so much more confident getting dressed! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-so-2013#post-899385 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 04:21:16 +0000 Vicki 899385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Outstanding question, grasshopper, and I'm right along with you in the grass chirping out the same question! &nbsp;:)<br /><br />I agree with Suz and, to me, much of it has to do with the looser feel and interesting silhouettes we're seeing here and elsewhere in pants, tops and skirts. &nbsp;With colors, I think there's also a wider, freer&nbsp;range of playful experimentation. &nbsp;I'll be waiting for a few answers and I'm so glad you asked. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-so-2013#post-899369 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 03:54:53 +0000 Suz 899369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it just means "so of the moment." And that means rocking and, I guess, <i>owning</i>, one or more 2013 trends in a way that feels natural. So for Tina, it was pastel jeans. For Sona, pattern mixing. For me, the looser, more relaxed and slightly unexpected&nbsp;proportions of the outfit.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-so-2013#post-899365 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 03:46:11 +0000 Ariadne 899365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ive been trying to parse this out too, so Ill be taking notes. &nbsp;Thanks for starting the thread! &nbsp;<br /><br />I do remember Angie said this about one of Tina B`s killer&nbsp;looks that involved pastel (mint) jeans and a silk Equipment tee. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-so-2013#post-899308 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 02:42:41 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 899308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'll be watching the replies, also. I have no idea what's 2013 versus 2012, for example!<br />Oh, I know one maybe--updated bomber jackets?<br />
