You enjoy the creative outlet varied dressing provides you. Also, you do so many fun things.</p> <p>Floral jumpsuit for art walk?<br />Green leather mini skirt for vodka tasting?<br />I want to see you pull out that sharp-shouldered jacket of yours for something...maybe the nice bar?<br />Not sure about the beer festival. Something with a loose waistband just so you can enjoy lots of beer </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1043295 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 17:44:02 +0000 rebekahphoto 1043295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for vodka night I think of glamorous,&nbsp;light colors and texture, mixed with casual--maybe a light color luxe&nbsp;fur vest with jeans?&nbsp;</p> <p>your leather shorts would be great for leavenworth! --with some textured tights &amp; great boots and a cool hat. must have a good hat...a cool skirt/ leather&nbsp;vest combo would also be fun. its crazy and crowded, so washable is good.&nbsp;after years of going to leavenworth,&nbsp;we just had our own&nbsp;oktoberfest party &amp; it turns out&nbsp;lots of family &amp; friends have german/austrian clothing...(sorry for the bad pics) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1043196 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 15:32:14 +0000 Susie 1043196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The wedding obviously calls for a different look than a bar does. And I'm not sure what one wears for a Bavarian town!</p> <p>But I agree with the others- the same type/style of outfits could be worn for all 3 evening events, could they not?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1043014 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 10:58:18 +0000 Traci 1043014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with rachy on this one. &nbsp;These activities can all pull from the same wardrobe. &nbsp;The wedding is the only one that would be considerably dressier, but that could be handled with shoes and clutch. &nbsp;The rest of the get togethers seem like they would call for mostly the same fashion goals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042730 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 22:45:10 +0000 Caro in Oz 1042730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see what you come up with </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042605 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 20:31:21 +0000 Thistle 1042605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a bit envious. Sounds like a ton of fun (much, much deserved!) coming your way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042543 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 19:22:03 +0000 Sara L. 1042543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, this is one reason that purging your closet might not be the best idea.&nbsp; Or at least you don't want to purge so much that you don't have the variety of items you need for the various activities you have going on in your life.&nbsp; </p> <p>For the vodka tasting at the friend's house, I would chose something fun but also somewhat comfy since the venue will be more casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042540 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 19:16:26 +0000 ironkurtin 1042540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think many of the same elements could be re-used like RachyLou says, right?</p> <p>I personally have black pants that must have anchored every single outfit pretty much ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042521 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 18:57:28 +0000 rachylou 1042521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are hecka busy. What a fun to think about. But haha! Here I am working on my<i> single outfit</i> capsule for a potential night on the town. Those come like, what, twice a year for me? Hahaha!</p> <p>Ok. What I think I'd do from my own closet:</p> <p>Evening art walk: Sleeveless, Arizona-patterned, body con dress with metallic fringe half moon necklace.</p> <p>Vodka tasting party at a<br /> friend's place: Well, I think I could do the dress again, but if not, my tuxedo stripe silky jogging pants, drapey muscle tee, heels, bomber.</p> <p>&nbsp;"Bavarian"<br /> themed town in the mountains for Oktoberfest: Oh hands down, one of my gingham sundresses with A-line skirt. Probably chucks for all the walking I assume it entails. Hmm... I think I need a black apron. For coordinating purposes.</p> <p>Bar meet at a nice bar: Hey, I think I could do the dress here too! Of course, by this time, since I like only know one person, they'd be sick of the dress. Maybe I'd do my plum diagonal stripe dress, plum catwoman calf boots (altho they're very high), top, brown leather short jacket.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042466 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 17:54:52 +0000 Elly 1042466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome, I don't have quite the varied social life, but I do get it. I often find myself with a dive bar to go to with the SO's male co-workers one night, and a gallery opening another. </p> <p>Having options for all the situations allows you to have lots of fun with fashion, which is really what is important, right? ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042426 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 17:02:38 +0000 Suz 1042426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That would be fun, Anna! But do check the weather because the temps will be different than in Seatlle for sure. I have only ever been in the summertime when it was much hotter during the day but cooled to sweater weather at night. I think Kari has been there in different seasons. I guess tights and boots would keep you covered (whatever the weather). If it turned out freakishly warm you could just forget the tights.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042344 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 15:20:46 +0000 annagybe 1042344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also I forgot I have a wedding reception at a winery at the end of the month Suz, I did not even think of leather shorts for Leavenworth. I have olive suede shorts, I could do something like this with tights and boots.<br /><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/371758144211702193/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/371758144211702193/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042335 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 15:09:44 +0000 rute 1042335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun! Fab social life. I can see why!<br />On the contrary, I do not have lots of events to attend. A dinner with hubby and that's it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042331 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 15:01:31 +0000 Suz 1042331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>TOTALLY </b>hear you on this, Anna. As you know from yesterday's thread. I have been to Leavenworth - what a fun place to go for Oktoberfest! (Hey, do you still have those leather shorts? Might be a bit obvious, but hey, could be fun, too!)&nbsp;</p> <p>I am so weather governed in my own dressing that I find it tough to decide until the last minute sometimes. I have to have a few options up my sleeve. But...for the vodka tasting -- a great/ interesting pair of jeans, topper, booties (so a version of the commuter outfit but with pieces you might not choose for commuting.) For Leavenworth, you'll need a few outfits -- day temps. will be quite different from the evening. For the nice bar meet up, how about a dress for a change?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042329 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 15:00:38 +0000 AnnieMouse 1042329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whee! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042328 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 14:59:53 +0000 shedev 1042328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like a whole lot of fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-need-a-varied-wardrobe#post-1042324 Tue, 01 Oct 2013 14:56:40 +0000 annagybe 1042324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Need some outfit ideas for events coming up. Thursday I have an evening art walk. Saturday night I have a vodka tasting party at a friend's place. The next Saturday I'm going to Leavenworth, a "Bavarian" themed town in the mountains for Oktoberfest. Then the next Monday after that a bar meet at a nice bar. Whew! </p>
