I love this post! Bravo! Bravo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-new-looks-are-you-experimenting-with-or-want-to-try#post-426849 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 02:48:06 +0000 CJ 426849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've started wearing skirts. Consistently, that is, now that I know ways to wear them that are in my comfort zone. I have two and I'm actually contemplating buying more. Not to mention wide belts around the torso that I swore I'd never wear And now there's the vests and waistcoats that I practically have to force myself not to wear 24/7 I like them so much. </p> <p>Been considering branching out into pattern mixing. Might try some low heels that aren't attached to boots.</p> <p>A lot of these things I've been considering since before I stumbled over this site, but being here tipped me over some kind of edge. Now I'm putting things into practice and stepping out of the house in things I always wanted to wear but never had the courage to before. You could say I feel more like myself than ever </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-new-looks-are-you-experimenting-with-or-want-to-try#post-426825 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 02:28:53 +0000 Angie 426825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THIS IS MUSIC TO MY EARS. </p> <p>I am appreciating and experimenting with delicate necklaces for a change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-new-looks-are-you-experimenting-with-or-want-to-try#post-426820 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 02:26:31 +0000 Aida 426820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is an amazing list! I am impressed with how much you've taken in so quickly!</p> <p>Every outfit is an experiment for me This season I aim to wear more woven tops and less tees, midi skirts, winter shorts, flats/mid-heels, and hope to find that elusive perfect fur vest I've been searching for for a couple years now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-new-looks-are-you-experimenting-with-or-want-to-try#post-426690 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 00:39:17 +0000 qfbrenda 426690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't begin to list everything since my whole wardrobe has changed since finding YLF. Currently I'm figuring out what shoes/boots to buy. I have major shoe holes in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-new-looks-are-you-experimenting-with-or-want-to-try#post-426685 Wed, 21 Sep 2011 00:32:53 +0000 Allison 426685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am working on ankle boots and booties with bare legs!

You are the fastest learner in the class. And it's good, because I feel motivated to try to catch up to you! ;)</p> <p>Things I've tried for the first time since joining YLF a few months ago: </p> <p>Pattern mixing<br /> Nude shoes<br /> Higher heels<br /> Knee length wool coat<br /> the colour phlox<br /> Thrift store 50s outfit<br /> Pewter gladiators<br /> Thrifted oxfords<br /> Big beads<br /> Animal print<br /> Printed cardigan</p> <p>Things I've gone back to, with pleasure: </p> <p>More jackets<br /> Low heeled shoes<br /> Pixie hair </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-new-looks-are-you-experimenting-with-or-want-to-try#post-426652 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 23:43:30 +0000 Kat 426652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah! This morning as I was getting my kids ready for the bus stop, my daughter said "Mom, why are you wearing that? Where are you going" I answered, "to the bus stop". On arrival at the bus stop, my girlfriend took one look at me and said "where are you going this morning?". .... I was wearing brown knee high boots, bare legs, a denim pencil skirt, white t shirt, topped by a grey cashmere duster belted with men's inspired brown belt with tucked end. ..... Apparently, I am so early in my style journey that when I wear something other than jeans and tshirt, my friends and family wonder what I am up to. So, I'll say that the new look I am experimenting with is ..actually getting "dressed".<br /> Hurray for personal growth </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-new-looks-are-you-experimenting-with-or-want-to-try#post-426616 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 22:44:54 +0000 Sarah 426616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great topic!

Some of them were things that are newly trendy, things I was afraid of or thought could never work, or just things that I had stopped wearing some years ago and am ready to try again with. </p> <p>turtlenecks (again)<br /> horizontal striped shirts (both the audrey/french look and the rock look)<br /> pencil skirt (first time)<br /> sweaters (never owned one)<br /> blazers (it has been years)<br /> skinny jeans (tried them an returned them because ex didn't like)<br /> heels for regular wear (flats aren't comfy, so might as well try)<br /> dresses for day, especially in winter (eek! we will see how these work in the mountains)<br /> jean jacket (not since I was 13)<br /> tall boots (was off this look for awhile, but I have been tempted)<br /> tights<br /> belting<br /> champagne blouse (it has been 6 years, but I still dream about a former fave)<br /> oxfords<br /> animal print (not since I was 10) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-new-looks-are-you-experimenting-with-or-want-to-try#post-426503 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 20:01:54 +0000 Irene 426503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, you definitely have done your homework! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-new-looks-are-you-experimenting-with-or-want-to-try#post-426485 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:46:47 +0000 modgrl 426485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot wait to try my new taupe boots and red jeans - both together and separately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-new-looks-are-you-experimenting-with-or-want-to-try#post-426479 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:40:41 +0000 nancylee 426479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I wore my new Frye Cindy slouch boots with a denim dress and a scarf. The whole concept of "slouch" boots was really scary for me, but now that I've taken the plunge I'm glad I did. </p> <p>I'm also on the hunt for a faux fur vest...it's a little bold and out of my comfort zone, but I'm going to go for it!</p> <p>(I highly recommend taking the white denim plunge...I did this past spring and they were super useful.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-new-looks-are-you-experimenting-with-or-want-to-try#post-426473 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:30:35 +0000 goldenpig 426473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am having so much fun branching out into brand new territory for me. I figure the more I push my fashion boundaries and force myself to try new looks, the more they'll start feeling like "me" or else I can figure out what works and doesn't so I can evolve my style. I already feel so much more fab than I did even a few weeks ago! </p> <p>Here are some of the new looks I've experimented with since I joined YLF two months ago:<br /> pattern mixing<br /> monochromatic head to toe look<br /> polka dots<br /> belts<br /> scarves (I didn't own a single belt or scarf!)<br /> pencil skirts<br /> skirts with boots<br /> skinny jeans<br /> shirt dress<br /> shearling vest<br /> pussy bow blouses<br /> wearing jewelry more often<br /> wearing lipstick more often<br /> shorts and tights<br /> animal print<br /> dramatic trench coats (ruffled black and red corset)<br /> dressing down evening dresses to wear during the day<br /> denim jacket<br /> long graphic T and cardigans<br /> colorful blazers<br /> high heels (sandals and leopard heels)<br /> layering and the ALGO look</p> <p>Whew! Can you believe I never did any of those before? I can't believe what a style rut I was in before YLF!</p> <p>And here's a few more new looks I want to try, but they would require purchasing some items first--I can only change so fast, you know! ;)<br /> accessorizing my old plain black sheath dress (that I haven't worn in ages)<br /> red jeans<br /> white jeans<br /> white and black button down dress shirts (hope to see you soon, Anne Fontaine! ;))<br /> capri/clamdigger length jeans<br /> colorblocking<br /> more pattern mixing<br /> cape or poncho (maybe, not sure about this look yet)<br /> moto jacket/RATE look<br /> parka and slip dress<br /> faux fur vest<br /> snow boots<br /> fitted velvet/cord jacket<br /> fitted neutral blazer<br /> ankle booties<br /> oxfords<br /> learning more about scarf tying--maybe even a headscarf!</p> <p>Una recently posted this comment on one of my threads:<br /> "GP, I think you deserve an award for "Most Rapidly Fab" or something. It is amazing how quickly your style has evolved, like watching time-lapse photography or something. Incredible." I had to laugh at that and nod my head...when I get into something new that excites my passion, I like to totally jump in with both feet! Team Dive all the way! I am so glad I found YLF--Angie and all of you ladies are the best!!! I'm having a blast!</p> <p>What are you all experimenting with or what do you want to try next? I need some new ideas to try because I haven't been busy enough, LOL! </p>
