Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886874 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 01:30:27 +0000 Mainelady 1886874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La Ped, you are right. The kindergarteners refer to me as “the teacher that smiles all the time”. That’s something I will always carry with me.</p> <p>Windchime, sometimes a stray husky hair will still be on my clothes and my students always want to know which dog it is from. I don’t really know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886872 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 01:23:54 +0000 Windchime 1886872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your list of essentials looks good! Black pants and jeans are definitely some of my wardrobe essentials, with black crop pants filling that role in summer. </p> <p>My dog is a white American Eskimo, and I swear he intentionally brushes against me every time I'm wearing one of the afore-mentioned black bottoms. He and I help keep the sticky paper roller company in business! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886850 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 01:05:10 +0000 LaPed 1886850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oof, I wish I could get into the lint-rolling habit. My dog is a black tri, so his hair shows on everything, except maybe heather grey/charcoal.&nbsp;</p> <p>This list sounds like an accurate reflection of your WIWs. I love your inclusion of sentimental jewelry and a smile. It's true that the smile is what people will remember, no matter what you're wearing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886832 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 00:36:51 +0000 Mainelady 1886832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So true, Joy. If I am going to wear lemon yellow it is going to be a statement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886828 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 00:31:41 +0000 Anonymous 1886828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad that a smile was included. Your list seems useful and should help with shopping. You will know that the lemon yellow skirt on deep discount will not be an essential. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886825 Wed, 07 Feb 2018 00:25:09 +0000 Mainelady 1886825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, you make a good point. For vests I usually go for ones that are quilted and zip up the front. My sweater style of choice is often an open sweater/coat.</p> <p>Toronto Girl, yours is a good question. I think both! Many of my sweaters, even when layered over a turtleneck or other sweater are essentials, but others are definitely statements. You may be right...what is between essential and statement? Whatever it is, I think I have some!</p> <p>Thank you Sterling. Black bottoms are my go to for most of the winter. They allow all my other pieces to work together and stand out. Especially jewelry and smiles!</p> <p>Cardiff Girl, thank you, I know essentials are personal and unique to us. I have to be careful, because I could easily create a long list of essentials. I tried to think of what I would pack if I needed to relocate for a month. What would I make sure to take?</p> <p>Suzanimal, yup a smile improves every outfit and quit a few moods! My dogs are Siberian Huskies. Hair removal is the last thing I do before exiting the house. Treats for the dogs and a lint roller for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886590 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 15:58:35 +0000 Anonymous 1886590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Understood, <b>Suzanimal</b>.&nbsp; Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me though.&nbsp; I hadn't considered the geometry of dark bottoms (or light colored pets).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886564 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 14:55:03 +0000 Suzanimal 1886564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Mainelady</b>,<br />A smile is the most important accessory and the best suggestion I've heard yet! Nothing ruins a look faster than a scowl. It's actually been something I've had to work on. I naturally have a resting bitch face and if I don't make an effort to have a relaxed smile, I look like an old meanie.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sterling</b>,<br />I can't speak for anyone else but black pants aren't an essential for me because I'm an inverted triangle and unless I wear all black, I look off balance (top heavy). Plus, I have a blonde cocker spaniel and anything black on the bottom is covered in dog hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886555 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 14:28:08 +0000 Cardiff girl 1886555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your essentials are what you want them to be and these all sound good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886550 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 14:21:06 +0000 Anonymous 1886550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Black pants.&nbsp; Of the posts I read, I think your's is the only one that identified black pants as a wardrobe essential.&nbsp; I couldn't agree more.&nbsp; I literally could not function without a solid foundation of dark bottoms.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>A smile and jewelry are definitely your statement pieces.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886547 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 14:20:18 +0000 Helena 1886547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mainelady, as Annie says, you're never fully dressed without a smile! :D</p> <p>A good list of essentials! I think Rachy's point is worth pondering - for example, is it tailored sweaters/vests ... or are your layering pieces your statement maybe? I still thing there's something in between essential and statement but don't know ... like finishing piece or something. Need more coffee to ponder this one ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886546 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 14:17:31 +0000 rachylou 1886546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a good list. I do really want to know more about those sweaters and vests, tho... if there is one subcategory within, that you reach for most often, or if they have any similarity. I do a lot of ‘wacky sleeves’ on my sweaters, for example... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-essentialsi-think#post-1886507 Tue, 06 Feb 2018 10:29:27 +0000 Mainelady 1886507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have such trouble with this. I tend to think in categories instead of specifics. I think my winter essentials are:<br /> - Turtlenecks in dark colors<br /> -Black pants in multiple styles and fabrications<br /> -Equestrian pants in different colors<br /> - Jeggings in different colors<br /> -Booties specifically Black and Tan<br /> -Quilted vests that zip<br /> - Open front sweaters tunic length or longer<br /> -Memory jewelry that links me to loved ones, specifically yellow diamond engagement/wedding rings and sea glass pieces.<br /> -A smile</p> <p>Truth be told, a smile and jewlery are essentials and perhaps my signature. (Can they be both?). I feel naked without them. </p>
