And the oxfords look great, too. Sounds as if you are on your way!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-outfit-formulas---ideas-please#post-982161 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 00:25:42 +0000 puffenstuff 982161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou - I like the sound of Patterned jeans, so much in<br /> fact I went shopping after work yesterday and found a grey polka dot pair. Still<br /> in my neutral comfort zone but a little but more fun with the polka dots. I've added a pic of them, yet to try them on so hope they fit ok!</p> <p>Sarah A - Oxfords are something that have been on my mind,<br /> I have seen this cute pair of taupe oxfords in the pic below. I am almost ready<br /> to pull the trigger thanks to your suggestion. </p> <p>Runcarla -&nbsp;funny you should say that, that's already what I<br /> wear and I do feel great in that uniform I think I just need a little change<br /> sometimes. </p> <p>Suz - some great suggestions there, really made me have a<br /> good think. I do have 1 pair of coral colored jeans which I think need to come<br /> out of hiding. Slouchy trousers is also something I'm considering, but the fit<br /> has to be just right. </p> <p>Velvetychocolate -&nbsp;Some great options there, thanks for<br /> putting so much thought into it. I like your idea about the juxtaposition of the<br /> boyfriend jeans with silk shirt, wool jumper and pearl earrings. I think it's<br /> details like this that make an outfit interesting. </p> <p><div> </div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-outfit-formulas---ideas-please#post-981274 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 01:51:07 +0000 velvetychocolate 981274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <ol> <li>GAP's Really Skinny Pants + Equipment-style shirt + 'boyfriend' cardigan + moto-style ankle boots - trench or wool winter coat over top. </li> <li>Ellen Tracy ponte pencil skirt + Vince Camuto peasant style blouse, leather moto jacket + charcoal tights, tall riding boots + large (and warm) scarf looped around neck in Angie's "messy scarf" style</li> <li>GAP Really Skinny Pants + plaid shirt + high/low slouchy sweater (jumper) over top, tall riding boots.

I know this drives me nuts if repeated too often - the old jeans, sweater (jumper!) and boots deal. Pants in any other fabrication than denim will go a long way toward livening things up. Dress pants can be casual too - just add a denim shirt or chunky sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-outfit-formulas---ideas-please#post-981240 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 01:08:33 +0000 Suz 981240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just for weekend casual wear, correct?&nbsp;</p> <p>Are all your jeans the same silhouette? If so, try some with a different kind of cut.&nbsp;</p> <p>Are all your jeans the same colour? If so...try a coloured jean.&nbsp;</p> <p>How about a pair of ponte pants? Or a pair of slouchy trousers in one of your neutrals?&nbsp;</p> <p>I would add a topper (blazer or other); it immediately makes you feel more finished!&nbsp;</p> <p>Change up the footwear style -- low heeled&nbsp;boots or booties.&nbsp;</p> <p>Add a colourful scarf.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-outfit-formulas---ideas-please#post-981186 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 00:06:55 +0000 Carla 981186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mariner t-shirts and skinnies are my uniform when all else fails. That said, I would suggest that you use the commute to work as your 'catwalk' and commute on style until you transition into your uniform. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-outfit-formulas---ideas-please#post-981170 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 23:41:24 +0000 Sarah A 981170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My A-1 go to formulas are:<br />Oxfords, Jeans, button down shirt, blazer<br />Knee boots, skinnys, button down short, interesting scarf</p> <p>Love rachy's idea too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-outfit-formulas---ideas-please#post-981167 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 23:38:03 +0000 rachylou 981167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about patterned jeans and ankle boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-outfit-formulas---ideas-please#post-981164 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 23:34:49 +0000 puffenstuff 981164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div></div><div></div><div>All you lovely people, I need your thinking caps on! I am stuck in a little<br /> rut of wearing jeans, knit tops or jumpers with ballet flats for my winter<br /> uniform. I need some ideas for other outfit combo's to stop me feeling bored. I<br /> am not sure of what my "fashion persona" is, I am guessing something like modern classic with a twist perhaps? </p> <p>I don't do dresses for winter and I am not too<br /> keen on skirts though if the right option came up I might be swayed. This is only for weekened wear as I have a work uniform during the week, so no heels. Fire away!</div> </p>
