I just love each and every outfit. I adore this colour palette for winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw/page/2#post-2306554 Sun, 05 Feb 2023 03:11:26 +0000 Jaime 2306554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would be in an extremely sour mood with your weather but from the outside you look quite wonderful and not at all boring. I especially like your skirt outfit and the last one also. You do monochrome light tones beautifully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw/page/2#post-2306516 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 22:41:47 +0000 Irina 2306516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Ladies</b>, you are all so sweet! Thanks!</p> <p><b>Jenn,&nbsp;</b>thanks for a such nice compliment on sweats. It is a new thing for me, athletic wear was never before on my radar.<br />Re: black pants. I have them on my Needs list, a replacement pair for worn out one. I tried black and navy and surprisingly, bought a navy pair. What is happening to me? Will I regret it? Still thinking about it. Old habits die hard, indeed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw/page/2#post-2306486 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 18:15:29 +0000 Jonesy 2306486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all excellent deep winter looks, in my book! I love these creamy neutrals on you and I don't see "boring" at all, though I totally understand the February blahs. The second look doesn't look too classic to me because the cardigan has an interesting cut (the looseness, the fit of the neckline), and the third look is especially fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw/page/2#post-2306482 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 18:03:46 +0000 kellygirl 2306482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You look so chic in your neutrals. Mine always look so boring in comparison. Texture, fit and proportions are perfect! Love everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw/page/2#post-2306471 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 17:01:12 +0000 Star (Lise) 2306471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are really cool simple yet elegant outfits.&nbsp; I get what you mean though about not feeling stylish in a puffer and a hat.&nbsp; We have an arctic blast starting tomorrow - uggh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw/page/2#post-2306467 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 16:41:56 +0000 Jenn 2306467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Irina, I swear, you and LJP are always so hard on yourselves and you both always look fabulous.! I’m envious of how easily you’re able to pull off this cool-girl minimalist, neutral aesthetic. I’ve never seen anyone wear sweats as well as you do. </p> <p>In regards to the wideleg black trousers, for some reason they always make me feel too classic too. And yet, I just bought another pair. Old habits die hard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw/page/2#post-2306466 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 16:40:28 +0000 Irina 2306466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Helena &amp; Jules,&nbsp;</b>I bought boots in 2021, they are Louise et Cie Silko boots, a total lifesaver the past year as they fit much better around my injured ankle than other boots I have.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw/page/2#post-2306449 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 15:14:22 +0000 catherine 2306449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All exceedingly stylish and beautiful on you.

Love your style Irina! And might need to lemming those Chelsea boots ... Are they a newer purchase? Love that they are flat but dressy ... Tough combo with cold weather footwear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw/page/2#post-2306422 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 13:43:19 +0000 Olive Green 2306422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Irina, similar wardrobes and strategies, I think. I love a tonal column of anything, but if I go out sling on something bright and orange, boots, scarves, and hats do a lot of work for me. Otherwise a small drab troll of an old lady. Which you are not, so this looks so good on you.&nbsp;<br />New looong light padded vest from Kit and Ace turned out to be gold with a sheen, so hoping that works to wake things up a tad. And so far, great for the (also minimal) house in the deep freeze.&nbsp;<br />Uniqlo U sweatshirt from last year, new Aritzia scarf. Kit and Ace vest,size large for sweaters,.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306421 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 13:21:49 +0000 Irina 2306421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Thank to you all for your kind words! Wow!<br /></b><br /><b>Brooklyn</b>, I felt I looked “OK under the circumstances “. I don’t think I have high standards, it is about wearing things that I don’t like - hats and puffers. I prefer my shoes to be more refined and elegant, well can’t do it in the winter.&nbsp;<br /><div>Yes, recently I saw that bag in black on our Nordstrom site but it’s no longer available.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306420 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 13:10:39 +0000 Jules 2306420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey (Vanilla) Girl! Everything’s been said already so I can only agree you look fab! For the look that felt a bit too classic, how about adding a statement earring - perhaps similar vibe to the ones you posted about a little while back? I think the wide leg pants over narrow ankle refined boots and current style of cardi make the look very much on trend, but I get feeling like black pants/beige sweater veers classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306413 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 12:26:26 +0000 ChristelJ 2306413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are gorgeous in all these. The cardigan in #3 is really elegant, I love it.<br /> It’s so interesting to read your thoughts because you always have that rare completely effortless and chic look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306412 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 11:50:37 +0000 Janet 2306412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I especially love 1 and 4. You wear those warm neutrals so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306409 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 10:19:32 +0000 Brooklyn 2306409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Were you happy with outfit 4/5? I think you look absolutely amazing! If you are not happy with that, your standards are very high indeed :)</p> <p>I wonder if that bag comes in black… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306402 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 05:41:58 +0000 Kate 2306402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful in these light neutrals, Irina. I see nothing boring at all. The last outfit is stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306393 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 04:33:50 +0000 Irina 2306393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz</b>, your comment about my legs reminds me something from my past - when I was in my 20-s, I didn’t wear high heels because I thought my legs looked too long! Oh, man, things we find to scrutinize! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306390 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 04:24:38 +0000 Suz 2306390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That last outfit is SPECTACULAR on you. WOW!!!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>Ok. Now that I have said my piece on that (look at those sweatpants, honestly -- and your legs look 10 miles long!) -- I also really love the outfit you find too classic. But maybe that stands to reason. I think the wider leg pant and the texture of the sweater really make it interesting in a subtle way. I like it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your first outfit is fab, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306387 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 04:17:27 +0000 Irina 2306387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Zaeobi,&nbsp;</b>I’m of course, a minimalist in all aspects, my clothes, makeup, interiors. I never thought that it might explain my inability to successfully layer garments. Hmm, interesting, thanks for that, I will ponder over it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306386 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 04:15:02 +0000 Debbie 2306386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great.

Every single outfit looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306383 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 04:01:04 +0000 Zaeobi 2306383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I think some people just are inherently drawn to (&amp;/ or suit) more minimalist than maximalist looks. And that's okay too! Is it possible that's you, @irina? </p> <p>I don't see 'boring' but rather a 'calmly collected' cohesiveness in these photos - even in your home decor, nothing looks cluttered but rather it's all there because it serves a purpose (whether that be purely functional or aesthetic balance). </p> <p>You mentioned that you're not great at layering - could it be that what you mean is *visible* layers? Bigger outer layers (like that fabulous turtleneck) with hidden underlayers (like the camisole, panythose, &amp; heattech you mentioned) can also be a 'look' - which comes across as harmonious on you, IMHO! </p> <p>Not trying to invalidate your feelings or push you towards a particular look, just sharing my observations In full disclosure though, I often have the *opposite* problem - trying to discern what to *lose* from an outfit, because I'm a Maximalist Magpie at heart </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306368 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 02:29:26 +0000 Carla 2306368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a toss up between &nbsp;cafe au lait #2 and vanilla girl #4 for my favourite, but I like them all and don’t see boring. &nbsp;Especially when the weather/temps are considered. &nbsp;Elevated slouch for the win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306363 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 01:54:34 +0000 Anonymous 2306363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie.  It is great to see you wearing the light neutral outfits.  Inspirational.  I have wanted to go to Uniqlo for ages but do not want to drive in Denver...too many bad drivers and one way streets. I like the last outfit best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306357 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 00:55:12 +0000 Anonymous 2306357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome as pants too My cardigan is from LL Bean (men’s). </p> <p><a href="https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/124758?productId=1787690&#038;attrValue_0=Natural&#038;sku=1000059591&#038;pla1=0&#038;qs=3155279&#038;gclid=EAIaIQobChMIz7C66NP6_AIV2fnICh1nUQlFEAQYASABEgKwF_D_BwE&#038;gclsrc=aw.ds" rel="nofollow">https://www.llbean.com/llb/sho.....lsrc=aw.ds</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/winter-wiw#post-2306353 Sat, 04 Feb 2023 00:01:41 +0000 Irina 2306353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa</b>, I mostly buy Uniqlo collabs.
