Clothes that are still polished and "real clothes", but made for movement and activity aka real life! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392667 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 14:36:38 +0000 Carol 2392667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helena--yes, great! Glad to help with inspiration. Just FYI, I am not sure if we are talking about the same thing. I am not talking about athleisure, but rather the type of casual/dressy wear invented by these types of companies, and continued into today. Stuff like blazers, khakis, cardigans. Stuff like that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392661 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 14:20:20 +0000 Sisi 2392661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All very pretty. I immediately eyed the beautiful tee in # 3 and you look fabulous in the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392658 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 14:10:49 +0000 Star (Lise) 2392658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the unexpected black and navy combo, you wear it well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392653 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 13:49:05 +0000 Helena 2392653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carol! I will look to some of these for more inspiration, especially some of the pre-athleisure era looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392647 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 13:42:09 +0000 Carol 2392647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Helena--I mean that a lot of your clothes remind me of the classic American sportswear brands, in classic colors and shapes. J. Crew, DKNY, RL, Gap, Banana Republic, etc.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392639 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 13:17:29 +0000 RobinF 2392639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! Very chic and natural. Love the beige toe peeking out. Beautiful new watch! I don't do the counting thing any more either.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392602 Mon, 04 Aug 2025 00:23:55 +0000 Laurie 2392602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 - you look very chic! Love the hair pulled back, sunglasses, column of navy.</p> <p>I hang most of my clothes to dry, usually off of my ironing board. Then I iron many things, and leave them hanging. And I see my color patterns emerge - a lot of white and navy accumulates!</p> <p>I was recently looking at my watches in a drawer, all batteries dead, wondering if I'll ever wear them again. Maybe you are inspiring us? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392566 Sun, 03 Aug 2025 18:54:25 +0000 Suz 2392566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, of course you had me at "navy" and all your outfits are great but I also ;love the new watch! I have been debating going back to my analog watch too. Not because i obsess about step counts (although I do, sort of) but just because I always loved the look and feel. Hmmmm.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392540 Sun, 03 Aug 2025 13:30:12 +0000 Ket 2392540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loveth all your navy, Helena! I love you in all of these, but I’m partial and 3 and 4. Your outfits give me a bit of that Ralph Lauren feel. In a great way! </p> <p>Love your watch!! It’s really beautiufl. I normally eschew step counting. I count a little bit mostly, I find it obsessive and boring and irritating. (No offense to those that love it.) Only time I use it is when I’m doing a “walk” on World Walking app for fun. </p> <p>I can see you do more depth and saturation. I would say deep soft summer is a good bet. You might gently border Dark Winter even. Revlon Vampire Love is a gorgeous deep soft summer lipstick. It’s a plum. Just mentioning it because I love passing on seasonal makeup recs haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392510 Sun, 03 Aug 2025 02:18:34 +0000 Indigoprint 2392510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done!<br /> Love your watch, band is commensurate with the clock face for a timeless look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392504 Sat, 02 Aug 2025 23:34:42 +0000 Jaime 2392504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm is it American sportswear or modern classic? Are these the same? Any which way you call it, you look lovely and fresh in all of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392497 Sat, 02 Aug 2025 22:20:27 +0000 Helena 2392497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the kind words everyone!</p> <p>Angie, the pants are from Reitmans which is a hit and miss store but these have been great. </p> <p>Lisa, they are just ballet flats from naturalizer! Super comfy, with a "squoval" toe shape.</p> <p>Sal, I was officially typed a soft summer but can pull off higher contrast and more saturation than that, as well as dip into the very coolest edge of warmth (if that makes sense!) A deep summer? Deep soft summer? Earthy summer? Something like that at least! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392494 Sat, 02 Aug 2025 20:31:55 +0000 Sal 2392494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s fun to have these little challenges I find. Navy is a great option for you - almost a signature colour. Did you ever decide what colour season you thought you were - you suit high contrast but also look so good in some soft and even slightly warm colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392482 Sat, 02 Aug 2025 14:37:31 +0000 Mirjana 2392482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why not Helena, you wear navy the best way. Great outfits, I especially like no 1 and no 3 beautiful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392481 Sat, 02 Aug 2025 14:31:37 +0000 Angie 2392481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking classically gorgeous,<b> Helena</b>! And a beautiful new birthday watch to match.&nbsp;</p> <p>My faves are #1 and #3. Opposites to some extent, and just as striking - probably because you changed things up during the week so they're very complementary looks. KILLER navy pants! Stunning here!&nbsp;</p> <p>A 10 year old linen tee is a phenomenal lifespan for jersey! WOW </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392479 Sat, 02 Aug 2025 14:11:19 +0000 LJP 2392479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like those nude maryjanes (?) - what are they? &nbsp;They are the perfect finishing touch in that they are less predictable that white , navy or gold. &nbsp; Also love your watch. I had one from Daniel Wellington that was very similar and wore it constantly until a watch repair guy damaged it trying to get the battery out .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392476 Sat, 02 Aug 2025 12:04:09 +0000 Dee 2392476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those white pants, and I can’t blame you for defaulting to navy and white. Such a clean, crisp and classic colour combo that’s looks terrific &nbsp;on you. Glad to hear that the older Joe Fresh items have longevity. Haha, the new watch looks lovely too, and yes, those digital sports watches have expectations, don’t they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392471 Sat, 02 Aug 2025 10:51:16 +0000 Helena 2392471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa and slimcat, thank you!</p> <p>Carol, that's interesting, I never thought of my style that way before. Do you mean like preppy sort of? I appreciate your thoughts! #3 is a dark navy t-shirt with lighter navy pants, and black accents (belt and shoes). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392466 Sat, 02 Aug 2025 05:39:10 +0000 slim cat 2392466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smart and polished summer dressing - love #1 and #3 especially! New watch is classic that I missed so often those days . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392461 Sat, 02 Aug 2025 02:45:27 +0000 Carol 2392461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I am getting used to your wardrobe, and what I gather is that you do American sportswear really well. Love all the combinations of navy. Have you got black and navy in 3?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392456 Sat, 02 Aug 2025 00:06:35 +0000 Lisa 2392456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also will start a week off with certain colors and then midway realize why not finish off the week with that color palette!</p> <p>1 - Excellent addition of pattern with the belt and matching color shoes.</p> <p>2- You have a great eye for patterns, this top is also quite pretty. I'd never know it was 10 years old if you hadn't told me, what a great top!</p> <p>3- A chic darker palette for summer. Your belts always finish off your outfits so well! I also like how the belt buckle ties into the metal on the shoe, so fun!</p> <p>4 - This dress is really pretty fit and drape, such a classic, pretty piece!</p> <p>5-I adore the new watch. I never jumped onto the digital watch trend. I am a very classic watch gal. The simple and minimal style of your new watch is lovely and the brown strap looks like it will be very versatile! An excellent new addition! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---in-the-navy-1#post-2392449 Fri, 01 Aug 2025 23:03:14 +0000 Helena 2392449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have been snapping outfit photos just for myself most days, and by Wednesday realized this week I'd worn navy every day, so then I had to do it for the last two days of the week just for fun. One photo didn't come out unfortunately, but it was those same navy pants with a white tee and white sneaks. Nothing new or exciting; just an easy summer slate! The linen tee in 3 and popover sheer blouse in 2 are coming on ten years old if they aren't there already, and both from Joe Fresh this proving that longevity can be found in strange places. Also shown - new analog watch for my birthday last month, because I am tired of stressing about step counts. The brand is Nordgreen and I really like the simple and minimal style!</p> <p>Happy weekend all and thanks for looking xx </p>
