I thinknit’s Just a matter of getting used to the style.</p> <p>The polka dots are fun, and the ASICS are not dated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900442 Wed, 21 Mar 2018 06:05:03 +0000 bella 1900442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I happen to think that your Asics Tiger sneakers are a modern classic, so you wont hear any complaints about them from me. I have a green pair and the only reason I dont wear them more often is that I have white Nike Cortez sneakers that I like better.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900426 Wed, 21 Mar 2018 03:46:31 +0000 Jaime 1900426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! You are off to a fantastic start with these outfits. The white boots look perfect on you - great choice. I don't think the shawl in #2 looks dated, it makes the outfit! The thrifted coat is great too! Looking forward to seeing more of your outfits Synne! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900380 Wed, 21 Mar 2018 00:30:34 +0000 Mainelady 1900380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Synne and thank you for posting some WIW pics. How fun to be thinking about and determining your new style! You coat and white boots should get lots of wear. I hope to see more of both as you share pics of your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900374 Wed, 21 Mar 2018 00:01:48 +0000 Angie 1900374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And a welcome from me too.

I thought for sure you lived near Lake Tahoe, your surroundings look so familiar to me.</p> <p>Your coat in 3 is fantastic. It looks great on you, and what a good deal, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900338 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 22:17:52 +0000 Katerina 1900338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice to meet you Synne!</p> <p>Your outfits are really great! No 1 is absolutely perfect - and the red gloves are so chic with it. Nothing costumy at all - just a beautiful, chic and modern outfit. No 2 is so nice with the fluffy scarf and polka dots. And I really like the third outfit with the gorgeous coat - what a fabulous find! The outfit to me reeds very modern and chic. I am not bothered by this kind of sneakers but if you are, you could rather easily change them. As Suz and Joy said, red touches would be great with the coat too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900333 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 21:59:50 +0000 unfrumped 1900333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!<br /> Got to hit and run right now but you look fabulous in the long coat! Very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900328 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 21:38:10 +0000 Suz 1900328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! You look terrific and your landscape looks familiar. I live in Canada but we have the same snowy "spring" weather here. Ha!&nbsp;</p> <p>First off, I love the white boots on you. The first outfit looks great to me! A bit sporty but also a bit mod. The red gloves are a great touch. I adore the second outfit -- again, I would say a bit retro (with the polka dots) and not at all dated. The texture injects fun and whimsy in what can otherwise be a dismal round of pullover after pullover for those of us in the north at this time of year. Your coat is an amazing statement piece. I'd love it with the red gloves!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900324 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 21:16:07 +0000 Jane 1900324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! I have those white boots too - I love them but don’t wear them often enough. They look great to my eye and I like the other outfits too - the camel coat is especially fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900305 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 20:40:42 +0000 SarahD8 1900305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Synne! How exciting that you have been working hard on your wardrobe and style. I look forward to hearing more of your process and insights (I love analysis!).</p> <p>My first thought is that you are too hard on yourself! I think all three of these outfits are very nice. The sheepskin shawl does not look dated to me (instead it adds a very "individual" element to your outfit). The third picture with the long coat and sneakers reads very urban-hipster to my eye. It comes across as intentional, but while it's a look it may not be *your* look and that is perfectly fine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900301 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 20:31:18 +0000 The Cat 1900301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great style! Love your ensembles in #1 and #2. Both are chic and sporty elegant. Furthermore, all the white and black items can easily be styled in different ways. The polkadots and the red touches are charming.</p> <p>Your camel coat is gorgeous and would look even more fab worn with boots (i.e. your white ones, and perhaps an offwhite turtleneck sweater or a big offwhite scarf), oxfords or loafers. If you choose to wear sneakers, I suggest solid white or blush or patterned white &amp; beige/brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900298 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 20:20:26 +0000 jussie 1900298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome. I like how creative and fashion forward your outfits are. I don’t think they’re dated either. Just a matter of some slight tweaks here and there, which ylf is great for helping with.<br /> I’d love to see the long coat with the white boots and red gloves.<br /> All the best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900296 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 20:08:02 +0000 Synne 1900296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou you have just pinpointed what I couldn't put my finger on! That's exactly what's wrong with these sneakers. How great to get new perspectives and a trained eye. Thank you! If I get new sneakers I will look for solid colors. I definitely agree with the balance of being fashionable and feeling costumy. Maybe it has to do with so called imposter-syndrome, that many women may have. At least for my part it has to do with a bit of "Jante": who do I dare think I am by dressing up? But all this was summed up perfectly in another post.</p> <p>Thank you for the compliments Sal! I look forward to continue my style journey with help from this fabulous community! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900289 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 19:45:59 +0000 Sal 1900289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Synne- nice to meet you. I see nothing dated here- I especially like the first look and the last look- really smart.</p> <p>I do agree photos are helpful - especially for proportions. See you again:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900288 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 19:44:58 +0000 rachylou 1900288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Synne! You sound like you are off to a good start. The white boots and camel coat are great! I esp like the camel coat with grey and black. It occurs to me the white sneakers could be more white - the red and blue stripes and tan soles are what throw that off a little bit.</p> <p>I also very much like the red white and black outfit, with the fuzzy scarf. Don’t think that’s dated.</p> <p>#1 seems a very realistic outfit to me. Not costumey at all (which I feel is a danger of being fashionable). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900286 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 19:38:41 +0000 Synne 1900286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the feedback Jenni and Joy! I am looking for new sneakers, but I am not yet sure what to replace them with. Or if sneakers belong to my new style at all? Time will tell. I will try pairing my coat with red! Excellent idea. Maybe that's a way to make the look more feminine? The coat in and of itself is not very fashionable, I know, but it's wool and not some strange pilling-blend, so I HAVE to make it work, ha ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900285 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 19:27:49 +0000 Anonymous 1900285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Synne! Your outfits look wonderful. Your long camel coat is lovely. Have you tried it with red? The COS blanket scarf that Anie showed us in today's blog post (Tuesday) would be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900284 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 19:22:57 +0000 Jenni NZ 1900284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi and welcome! Seeing in photos can certainly be different versus the mirror. You don't look like a ski instructor to me! I agree you could have better sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---introducing-myself-with-scandi-winter-weather-outfits#post-1900282 Tue, 20 Mar 2018 19:14:10 +0000 Synne 1900282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After lurking around the forum for a while, I find it fitting to properly introduce myself with some WIW. I've already picked up many great tips and tricks just by browsing through old posts here. I'm very exited to join in, and am very thankful for any comments and feedback you may have.</p> <p>I have always admired style and beauty on others, but never felt that I quite got it "right". I've previously taken solace in that I didn't get it. That style and fashion wasn't meant for me, but at least I wasn't shallow (lol). But as I am entering my thirties I feel it's time to get serious about who I am, and how I'm conveying myself to the world.</p> <p>For the last six months I've been researching, journaling, reassessing all my clothes and planning my wardrobe and purchases. It has been an eye opening experience! What has been most helpful has been to document my outfits through pictures. It's funny how something can seem great on paper, or look fine in the mirror at home, and then BOOM: the utter shock in seeing yourself how others may perceive you. Ha ha!</p> <p>I strive for a more feminine, flattering, fun and fashionable style.<br /> These are three of my latest WIW.</p> <p>#1 I went and bought my first pair of white boots, courtesy of Angie. Tried to style them with a column of color and some fashion-forward accessories. I felt almost too elegant (like I was playing dress-up) at home, but in the pictures I think I resemble a skiing instructor!</p> <p>#2 Again, quite an epiphany seeing my outfit in a pic versus in the mirror at home. I felt I nailed it with the accessories here, but I see now that especially the sheepskin-shawl looks very dated. Or at least not the style I was going for. Again white shoes, and polka dot pants.</p> <p>#3 This is a wool coat which I got for 10 euros at a second hand-shop. How lucky am I! I tried to be on trend in this outfit, but I guess my sneakers are dated or not fashion-forward enough (I will NOT be trying the dad shoes-trend, ha ha!). Maybe I could make the outfit more current if I went and bought a wider guitar-strap-thingy for my purse? I'm wearing my brand new cropped denims here, but they're hardly visible.</p> <p>Comments are more than welcome!  </p>
