The dress is still in the wardrobe as I love the colour, but shape and length are not right and have decided to donate it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sweet Mabel has been rehomed to a lovely family yesterday, I hope they will share many years of happiness and good health! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307557 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 18:59:09 +0000 Sal 2307557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see you.

I am amazed by all the fabbers who take pics more frequently, it's a challenge to find the right light and angle! It's a good exercise though, it's easier to review the outfit and check if it could be improved though!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>BlueJay</b>, thanks for the kind words! Glad to hear that the cords are receiving much love!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307506 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 15:32:32 +0000 BlueJay 2307506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely to see you <b>Minaminu</b> and <b>Mabel</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>I am also in awe of your documentation process and organization. I love blues for winter. The light here looks blue in the winter and I just love it. Your palette is very restful and interchangeable. The cords are fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307504 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 14:59:58 +0000 Jenn 2307504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Minaminu!&nbsp;</b>It's so awesome to see some WIWs from you! I am in awe of your visual planning, and love the idea of having a small mix-and-match wardrobe as your size is shifting.</p> <p>I quite like the closer fits in #2 and 4. Shows off your figure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307465 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 10:45:15 +0000 Brooklyn 2307465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to see you! My faves are 2, 5 &amp; 6. The cords look great. I would try them with boots as Angie suggests.</p> <p>Mabel is a darling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307459 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 08:34:03 +0000 Minaminu 2307459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b><b>Joy,&nbsp;</b>good point about adding some fun to the wardrobe! I tend to wear scarves when outside but should start to do so when WFH too.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Star,&nbsp; </b>thank you for the kind words!<br /><b></b><b></b><br /><b>Whidbeygirl</b>and <b>Tanya,</b> thanks!&nbsp; I just keep the images of the pieces bought, remove their background (google search "remove background from pictures") and then map everything is a powerpoint presentation. The format is a mix of lessons learnt from Angie and other stylish ladies :).</p> <p><b>Slimcat</b>, thanks&nbsp; for the suggestions for the jeans! I may be able to extend their lifecycle with a belt and pair of boots, I'll try in the next weeks.</p> <p><b>Roberta</b>, thanks! marking the pieces helps me remember what eventually needs to be replaced. I don't like to leave things at the last minute! Mabel is an effortlessly stylish lady.</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, thanks for the kind words on my colour palette! I still haven't reached a healthy BMI but have lost 8 cm from my hips area, I am slowly heading to the right direction and I think that transitional jeans may be the answer this year.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, thanks (from Mabel too) !&nbsp;</p> <p>I am halfway with the Boden trousers, the right side of the leg has a white line and Mr Minu said that will soon be quite baggy due to the stretch material. I guess I have to accept that this piece may not be in my wardrobe for a long time.</p> <p><b>Jaime</b>, thank you for the kind words! Fostering has been a bless for me as I am still recovering from last year and I like to help out as much as I can.&nbsp; We are planning to foster on and off for the next couple of years so that we can do the flat renovation and some travels. Once we have moved back to France, then I can officially become a cat lady :)&nbsp; !</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307434 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 03:16:43 +0000 Jaime 2307434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your color scheme and especially like the dress and the fourth outfit . I have so much admiration for people willing to foster animals - I would end up a crazy cat lady in no time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307427 Fri, 10 Feb 2023 02:49:33 +0000 Tanya 2307427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the colors, so soothing!&nbsp; Nice outfits all around, with # 3 and 4 being my favorites.&nbsp; I am also curious about software used for photo #2.&nbsp; Mabel is super cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307392 Thu, 09 Feb 2023 22:41:43 +0000 Angie 2307392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SOOOO nice to see you, <b>Minaminu </b>and <b>Mabel</b> :)</p> <p>An impressive wardrobe and outfit planning visual! Very organized!</p> <p>The new Boden cords are a smashing fit! Nice colour too! They look good with the hoodie and sweater. Fab with your denim shirt too. How about trying your taupe boots instead of the sneakers? I see that the sneakers have blue trim to match the cords, though. NICE!</p> <p>Are you ready to pass on the items that are too big? A pair of tailored blue jeans are a great idea to add to your bottoms capsule.&nbsp;</p> <p>How about a nice scarf for #4?&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307375 Thu, 09 Feb 2023 20:42:04 +0000 Suz 2307375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So terrific to see you post photos! Welcome to the wonderful world of WIW. </p> <p>It really is helpful over time to take these pictures. I have found it useful in ways I did not expect. I don't do it every day, of course, and don't post every outfit I have a photo of, but the visual record can be more memorable than a text record. It can spark ideas for new combinations, too. </p> <p>I have always admired your colour palette -- so restful! You do such a great job of adhering to your personal choices and everything coordinates so well. Even the cat! She's so pretty. I hope she finds a loving home. And I hope you get to foster another or adopt if that is your choice.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Boden cords are such a lovely colour. I think the hoodie will be a fantastic item for cool spring. The other items sound practical/ necessary, and you are probably finding deals at the moment.&nbsp;</p> <p>Congratulations on meeting your health/ fitness goals. New clothes are pricey but a real bonus. When I lost weight and changed size I got a transitional pair of jeans about half way through the process and it helped. Many of my other clothes were knits or had elastic waists and that was also helpful.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307355 Thu, 09 Feb 2023 17:43:05 +0000 Roberta 2307355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also admire your approach to wardrobe planning and management. Marking items that are very useful but have reached end of life is a great idea. And Mabel is simply lovely. I like her color scheme! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307354 Thu, 09 Feb 2023 17:41:47 +0000 slim cat 2307354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice colors and textures! I think the fit of jeans in pic #1 looks a bit off - maybe cuffing them and wearing with boots will give them more polish<br />( unless it's just WFH look ). </p> <p>Kitty is adorable of course .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307349 Thu, 09 Feb 2023 16:36:24 +0000 whidbeygirl 2307349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your approach to visualizing your clothing options and capsules. Is that a specific software or something you developed for yourself? I, too, am very visual and I've started taking pix of pieces but hadn't gotten as far as your system. I can see something like that in my future. &nbsp;<br />And establishing a color palette for the season....an interesting idea.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307346 Thu, 09 Feb 2023 16:22:31 +0000 Star (Lise) 2307346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your color scheme is very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307344 Thu, 09 Feb 2023 16:18:38 +0000 Anonymous 2307344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your use of color in a winter wardrobe. &nbsp;Fun. &nbsp;I have been looking at my summer clothes which I enjoy. Seeing what is lacking in the winter secition. &nbsp;I am now trying to add more fun with color and pattern. I would add some patterned scarves to your things that combine blues and greens and pull everything together. &nbsp;You could do blouses instead of scarves or even patterned socks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-2023-wardrobe-and-outfits#post-2307341 Thu, 09 Feb 2023 16:10:16 +0000 Minaminu 2307341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I am a visual person and find it very helpful to note down the pieces that I have available in my wardrobe, which I change seasonally, as it helps me identify any missing pieces or any clashes in my colour palette, I rely heavily on seascape colours as I am a "water baby" and find those colours very uplifting.</p> <p>For Winter, which are mainly January, February and March, I am rotating around 35 pieces and whilst I am happy with the quantity, I think there is lots of room for improvement on the fitting and variety of textures. Having said that,&nbsp;I am afraid that I've also been on a shopping spree, as this year I've added a hoodie (!), cord trousers, merino jumper top, pocketable raincoat and a metallic belt, 3 of them are replacing pieces that no longer fit and I reckon I will need to replace the denim jean and merino dress as well, both of them used to be super tight and now are shapeless.</p> <p>One of my 2023 style goals is to capture some pictures of my style to see where I can improve and take note of the size changes but I am finding it quite difficult, I am constantly questioning everything.</p> <p></div><div>I've attached some pictures of my last 6 outfits, the sky blue cord trousers are&nbsp; from Boden and I am planning to use them during the weekend. I tried with a hoodie as well as a grey jumper to see how it'd work. What do you think?</p> <p>Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated and welcomed!</p> <p>Oh!&nbsp;The&nbsp;gorgeous photo bomber is Mabel, our foster friend who hopefully will receive confirmation this Saturday that she's found her furrever home!</div><div><br /></div><div></p> <p></div></p> <p> </p>
