And yes the longer hair definitely contributed to that element. I think I shouldn't forget to keep a bit of playfulness going forward. I don't want to end up looking strict, even though I love simple and pared down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447921 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 13:39:05 +0000 E 1447921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a good point; I've found style shifts are sort of like a pendulum, first you're swinging for awhile, and then you end up centered in the middle. :)&nbsp;I think the detail on the jacket neckline &amp; plaid skirt add some feminine touches, but definitely more of a sleek feminine than soft feminine. Before your hair sort of did that for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447907 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 13:13:55 +0000 Jaime 1447907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair has made such a great change - more sophisticated and playful all at once! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447835 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 06:46:44 +0000 Astrid 1447835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Eva! I do like urban, but I felt as if I went too far in the other direction with some outfits. I think I have to take care not to forget the softer, feminine part of my style going forward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447566 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 23:53:29 +0000 E 1447566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh fun! You look much more urban nowadays, which I know you were aiming for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447400 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 19:28:15 +0000 Astrid 1447400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Staysfit! It's really not that difficult - just use a system and stick to it. :)</p> <p>Thanks Summer! Definitely more minimalist, I agree. More streamlined and pared down. It's a direction I've been working towards...</p> <p>Thanks Rachylou! Happy to hear I'm managing a more grown up look, since that's what I've been wanting for a while. And without buying one single blazer too... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447312 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 17:48:16 +0000 rachylou 1447312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How neat and fun. Your look has really been getting consistently sharper. I do like the #4 outfit still, although it seems a bit young compared to your new look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447294 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 17:35:34 +0000 Summer 1447294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting, Astrid. &nbsp;You look lovely in all these pictures, but your look has become sleeker and more minimalist lately. &nbsp;Of course your lovely pixie cut&nbsp;has brought about the biggest change. &nbsp;As with Ornella, a few tweaks here and there make all the difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447284 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 17:22:24 +0000 Staysfit 1447284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! &nbsp;I am so impressed by how organized everyone keeps their computer files! &nbsp;Is there a Marie Kondo book for this also?! &nbsp;:-) &nbsp;I wonder if I will be able to go back in a year and do this type of comparison? &nbsp;I love how your hair looks now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447244 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 16:19:47 +0000 Astrid 1447244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Approprio! That denim jacket was a great find, I bought it for maybe 20€ or so at a final sale. I love the sparkle on the hem/collar/cuffs - it provides some interest and the jacket is still wearable all the same. I'm usually not a fan of sparkle. My sister has that dress now and wears it to death. I'm a bit taller, but she isn't as shortwaisted as me and is better endowed so the dress fits her perfectly (it looked a bit sad on me before I passed it on). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447231 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 16:10:20 +0000 approprio 1447231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look brilliant. Such a transformation! I love your collarless denim jacket - the sparkle on the cuffs&nbsp;is a surprising and cute detail.</p> <p>From the older pics,&nbsp;that dress in #4 looks like it might still work for you. Do you still have it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447212 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 15:43:57 +0000 Astrid 1447212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks AM! The hair makes a big difference, I agree. And yes, I love the pixie! (I lost a lot of weight too, so I do look quite different.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447202 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 15:35:01 +0000 AM 1447202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a transformation. I didn't even realize it was the same person. I had to go back and look at the title of your post and get my head around that these pictures were all you! You look great in both but the pixie is such a great statement. I hope you are loving it! And great looks. I love your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447197 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 15:25:55 +0000 Astrid 1447197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Crutcher. I have folders on my harddrive for each year and then I save the pictures in there and number them in the order I took them. I found that was the best way to keep an overview. It's super interesting to look back on past outfits. There is a lot of experimentation that makes me cringe just a little bit in hindsight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447195 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 15:20:12 +0000 crutcher 1447195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new hair really sets off your look...Great style evolution...You are to be praised for keeping pictures so that you can look back at your changes...THX for sharing... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---inspired-by-ornellas-ttlyiw-series-2015#post-1447194 Wed, 25 Feb 2015 15:17:47 +0000 Astrid 1447194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I remembered doing this last year too, so I had a look and I found my post from February 2014 and the outfits I had posted. </p> <p>Many thanks to Ornella for the inspiration. </p>
