There seem to be enough things in life to beat ourselves up for&nbsp;without adding 'using clothes that I bought and can afford' to the list!</p> <p>I'm not having a go at P333 or anyone who enjoys doing it&nbsp;here. I actually think that it's a great tool to create awareness of how little we actually need to live with and develop understanding of how to create a working wardrobe. But it's just the tool, and we're the boss and we can make up rules as we go along if we want to!</p> <p>Yeah, I'd totally fail at P333. Probably in the first day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1411220 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 03:59:36 +0000 Suz 1411220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks wonderful on you! I'm glad you tried the experiment. And hey, everyone is entitled to a winter refresher. The 333 is a great idea, and if it works for you, fabulous. But I happen to think it's perfectly okay to say - 33 is too few for me; 40 is better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1411218 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 03:55:47 +0000 Jaime 1411218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks terrific - fun is more important than the rules when it comes to this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1411090 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 23:23:02 +0000 Helena 1411090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL lisap ... unfortunately the Target is extremely convenient for picking up random pantry items, etc., so I am in the there often ... I buy more clothes than I care to admit in there, but have not done so in a long time ... but these ones I couldn't resist! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1411014 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 21:24:53 +0000 Anonymous 1411014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back AWAY from Target, slowly, slowly now.....:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1410962 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 20:03:27 +0000 Anonymous 1410962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the teal top and it's shape. Fab booties too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1410960 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 19:52:46 +0000 Angie 1410960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are learning a lot from doing this exercise,&nbsp;TG. Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint why we don't like wearing an item in our wardrobes, but when we get to the heart of it - it's a great accomplishment. It's probably not the colour of the burgundy top that was throwing you - it's the cut of the top. <b>Brilliant.</b> Now you can move forward with burgundy and look for tops that are cut more like this teal one. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1410953 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 19:33:33 +0000 Sharon 1410953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The green is lovely, and it is a fairly subdued, soft shade so not a huge leap away from neutrals. Sometimes it's important to experiment to find the sweet spot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1410947 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 19:10:39 +0000 E 1410947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are your boots a green-y shade too? I love how you layered your necklaces &amp; you look just lovely. You know I love muted greens and blue-greens, so I'm all over this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1410938 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 18:57:16 +0000 Kristin L 1410938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that shade of green looks great! I missed your post with the red sweater, but it sound like you've figure out why it didn't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1410932 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 18:46:04 +0000 Alassë 1410932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're enjoying the dose of colour, go ahead! I'm sure you can make P333 adjustments elsewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1410930 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 18:40:01 +0000 Helena 1410930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dana, the cheat was a reference to my Project 333, in which I am not supposed to be adding items to my wardrobe right now but broke down when I saw two cute ones at Target for $10 each ... I couldn't resist ... thanks for the kind words :)</p> <p>Angie, I know - you had a profound influence on me!! I really liked this one actually, even in a party where everyone was wearing black&nbsp;- I think there were a few factors: one, I was with some of my best friends so totally in my comfort zone, two, I really liked the fit, three, the color is fairly subdued and harmonized really well with my hair and eyes, so it was an easy one to wear. The back is actually black, not teal, which I thought looked kind of cool, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am glad I've tried these back-to-back color experiments, because yesterday I was not sold on the red as much as I do like the color; however, looking at this picture, I think it was more of a fit issue than a color issue ... the red sweater is just a bit too fitted to be drapey, and a bit too drapey to be fitted ... I am going to try it again with skinny pants, untucked,&nbsp;and compare, or maybe even with a shirt underneath. I wonder if perhaps, as I think Suz has most graciously&nbsp;suggested in general terms, I am a bit too quick to pin the blame on color when in fact it might be another element entirely that throws me off. I will play with that too.</p> <p>Having fun with fashion ... who would've thunk??? :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1410914 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 17:22:32 +0000 Angie 1410914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH. Well aren't you an unexpected&nbsp;colour chameleon&nbsp;this week. This jewel toned teal is gorgeous on you - especially with the lipstick.&nbsp;</p> <p>How did you feel wearing these colours this week, TG? Think it was a step forward breaking up the neutrals? It's all very well if we think so - but YOU have to think so too. xo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1410911 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 17:18:16 +0000 Dana 1410911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! Why did you say you're cheating? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-again#post-1410875 Sun, 14 Dec 2014 16:11:10 +0000 Helena 1410875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, here is an outfit I wore to a casual Xmas neighbourhood party yesterday. Another $10 find, in a color that is similar to the green bit in my&nbsp;eye color. And yes another cheat *hangs head in shame* ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>For reference, I am aware I am going in circles here ... I realize I do a lot of thinking out loud on this forum and thus contradict myself entirely at time&nbsp;... thanks for bearing with me :)</p>
