You DO look terrific, but if you aren't feeling it maybe a couple of tweaks like Texstyle suggested is the way to go. Hope you're feeling better very soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945658 Fri, 31 May 2013 12:26:46 +0000 lyn67 945658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NOOO! That's not frumpy at all!!! Very well put together, I like colours and silouttes here (my faves are 2,3 and 5). Sorry you've had a&nbsp;tough month, hope it's all OK, now! Have fun with fashion&nbsp;by&nbsp; SYC in a creative way-it will hopefully help to get a bit of a&nbsp;lift in your mood! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945596 Fri, 31 May 2013 08:06:53 +0000 Ingunn 945596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to hear you've had a tough month, and hope things turn for the better soon! This doesn't reflect in your outfits, which are not frumpy at all. I love fuchsia and red on you! My favorites are&nbsp;#2 and #6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945558 Fri, 31 May 2013 05:38:03 +0000 Lyn D. 945558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your 'in-betweens' are FAB!<br />Especially like pic #3- the sweater shape looks so on-trend, especially with the white skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945548 Fri, 31 May 2013 04:45:34 +0000 bj1111 945548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had me at pink sandal! Bold color choice, but so soft in the outfit.</p> <p>Health issues do have a way of making us feel less than our best, but frumpy is not the word i would choose for this set. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945536 Fri, 31 May 2013 04:19:49 +0000 Carla 945536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, sorry to disagree! First I'm really liking the specs, and shoes. Then the great legs, and beautiful skin. Crisp clothes in great colour combinations, classic with a modern take. # 2, #5, and # 6 my faves, but only because I made myself pick favourites. </p> <p>Hope you are feeling better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945511 Fri, 31 May 2013 03:55:12 +0000 Anonymous 945511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Deb, I feel ya! I'm sorry you've been a bit out of sorts, but things look fine on the outside! I love the full skirt/cardigan outfit, and it looks very Angie inspired. These are great, modern looking casual outfits. I love your gladiator sandals. I had to giggle when you said you loved your shoes and glasses but it was the part in between that felt off. At least you have the most important things sorted! Maybe you're in for a new style direction? Either way, know that you and your doggie look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945508 Fri, 31 May 2013 03:51:05 +0000 deb 945508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, MsMaven. # 4 is my big boy Zeus and 5 and 6 is my girl&nbsp;Gaea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945502 Fri, 31 May 2013 03:43:18 +0000 MsMaven 945502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having some physical issues myself and I can commiserate.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, I have to say--your doggy stole the show for me. &nbsp;I'll have to go back and look at the photos again and try not to look at that incredibly chic companion you have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945324 Fri, 31 May 2013 01:32:15 +0000 Jaime 945324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly you look great and not one bit frumpy. I especially like #1, 3 and 6. But I am very in favor of focusing on a positive thing you can control, like your wardrobe or style direction, when you are feeling a bit out of control due to health issues or other stress. It works for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945320 Fri, 31 May 2013 01:27:50 +0000 Angie 945320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry you've been struggling with your health, Deb. Really hope it's all sorted soon. </p> <p>Definitely NOT frumpy. I absolutely love #6!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945280 Fri, 31 May 2013 01:00:41 +0000 cjh 945280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry you're feeling kinda down in the frumps, but by looking I would say you are definitely not! Tex suggests edging it up a bit maybe by a couple of new accessories, and may I be so bold as to suggest looking at a shorter, sharper hairstyle? The one that comes to mind is a short bob with slightly longer front edges. One of the forum members is what I'm thinking of. I'll try to find a link.</p> <p>Here <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-colour-me-black-white" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....lack-white</a></p> <p>It's the other Deb! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945229 Fri, 31 May 2013 00:01:24 +0000 Mia 945229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No frump at all (I particularly like the red jeans outfit)&nbsp;but if you don't feel great in your clothes right now&nbsp;I totally understand.<br />You have some great advice from others about how to move forward.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945218 Thu, 30 May 2013 23:37:39 +0000 Sara L. 945218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think any of these are frumpy or dumpy either. &nbsp;All of these are good outfits. &nbsp;Maybe a more fitted top in #6 would make you feel better about that outfit? &nbsp;You have great shoes and every outfit has just the perfect pair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945209 Thu, 30 May 2013 23:14:08 +0000 Wendi1984 945209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your outfits! I also wear a lot of various pinks. Maybe you just need a few new accessories to shake things up and make your outfits feel "fresh" to you. I just picked up a couple statement necklaces to make my plain knit tops look more stylish, and it's really helped. Do you like scarves? They're a fun way for me to play with color without spending too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945164 Thu, 30 May 2013 22:20:18 +0000 Caro in Oz 945164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have some great pieces here &amp; I wouldn't do anything major until I was feeling better. Having said that I'm all for wardrobe updates :)</p> <p>When I feel like this about my wardrobe I&nbsp;pick out 5 or 6 items of clothing that I love &amp; try to work out what it is&nbsp;about them that works. Also what is it about the ones I don't like. Sometimes finding the answers to these questions gives me the momentum to move forward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945152 Thu, 30 May 2013 22:07:23 +0000 deb 945152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texstyle, I think you are correct. Maybe it is time for a change. I also think that my view of myself may be off so it is hard to be objective.</p> <p>Suz, fuchsia is one of my favorite colors and I would be more than happy to be your fuchsia-fabulous twin. I wore # 6 today and felt especially frumpy. Not so much with the color but with the shape. I love my silk full skirts but cannot find a silhouette I like anymore. I have been trying Angie's full skirt/top combo, &nbsp;<a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/04/04/wear-relaxed-banded-tops-over-full-skirts/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2013/04/.....ll-skirts/</a>, but I am just not liking it as much as I did at first. I <i>love </i>my shoes and wish I could adjust my body to have a head and legs and feet only. Then I could wear my glasses an shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945148 Thu, 30 May 2013 22:05:15 +0000 unfrumped 945148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Usually, don't make sweeping changes when things might look a little better soon. <br />I especially like #1, 4, and 5. The slight volum- top with some shoulder structure &nbsp;over slimmer skirt/shorts in # 1 looks good, and the color is very good,&nbsp; and the structured blazer looks fantastic as well .So I don't think you need drastic changes--just keep trying some different combinations.</p> <p>Did you read Angie's outfit creation post this week? That really stimulated my thinking on making new and better outfits and then keeping track of which ones are the fabbest.<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945146 Thu, 30 May 2013 22:04:18 +0000 TraceyLiz65 945146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is absolutely no frump in sight. &nbsp;Look again and see that these looks are all very put together and deliberate...Sorry you have been out of sorts, wishing a wonderful June! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945135 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:53:29 +0000 Beth Ann 945135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see frump at all, and I think 3 and 6 are very sleek and fresh.&nbsp; Sometimes a tweak in our style can give our mood a boost.&nbsp; Do you have a Pinterest inspiration board or an idea of what looks and items you'd like to incorporate? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945126 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:27:10 +0000 Suz 945126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, my goodness! I think I just found my fuchsia-fabulous twin! You look spectacular in shades of deep pink/ fuchsia, Deb. When I read the title I was sort of expecting soul-sucking beige, and then to see you instead just lighting up your garden....well....to me, that is not frump.&nbsp;</p> <p>I especially like the silhouettes and combinations of 3, 5, and 6, and as others have said, you have sensational footwear!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think it is probably a question of tweaking and editing out those items that no longer make you feel as fab. We all go through times like that. I find for me, old favourites can be the worst culprits. I know it looked really good, once...and I loved it so, that I can't really objectively notice the wear when it's showing its age.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945120 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:23:13 +0000 Anonymous 945120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>None of these looks are frumpy at all.</p> <p>I love no.4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945117 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:21:55 +0000 amiable 945117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm sorry that you fell frumpy, but you don't look frumpy at all to me. &nbsp;My favorites are 3,5 and 6, but they all look fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945113 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:19:52 +0000 Makrame 945113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You sure look good to me! &nbsp;And what a beautiful backdrop for your photos.

And your photoshoot partner there :)</p> <p>But yah, I regularly need to shake myself awake when it comes to my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945102 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:11:51 +0000 missvee 945102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to hear that you've had a rough month, but it's not reflected in your WIWs. I particularly like 2 and 3 with their black and white colour palette. And I love the bright pink top and shoes in 1. What do you think you'd like to change? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945097 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:09:59 +0000 Glory 945097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Ceit - I don't see any frump here at all. I think you have a great selection of items and have put them together very nicely.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945095 Thu, 30 May 2013 21:07:44 +0000 texstyle 945095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think these look frumpy but maybe it is just time for some style changes in your life. Everyone goes through periods where they want a change. What look are you striving for? Do you want to be more edgy, more boho, more on trend? You could make smaller changes by just adding a few key&nbsp;pieces, or mix things up a bit with what you already own, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---frump-a-dump#post-945090 Thu, 30 May 2013 20:54:20 +0000 Anonymous 945090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see frump here! I think you have great shoes, and I really like the silhouettes you created! I especially love the top in 3, and the white blazer in 5 looks awesome. </p>
