So helpful, yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---layering-with-the-dramatic-white-coat-and-a-new-color-for-me#post-2316618 Wed, 05 Apr 2023 20:24:45 +0000 Janet 2316618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Kyle, thank you! </p> <p>Honestly, my “process” is a combination of things. Some examples:</p> <p>- when I first buy something, I try to make sure I do a mini styling session. I try it on with things I think will work with it, which gives me an idea of how versatile something will or won’t be, with the added bonus of giving me outfit ideas right away. </p> <p>- ok, this may sound weird, but when I am having trouble sleeping, instead of counting sheep or something, I assemble outfits for upcoming days or events in my head. I even have an habit of checking the next day’s weather when I go to bed. I often fall asleep before I get a couple of ideas fleshed out, but sometimes I get a good idea first! </p> <p>- I tend to start planning an outfit with a particular item I’m keen to wear that day. It might be shoes, maybe a top or jacket, or certain pants, skirt, dress… I build outward from that item. </p> <p>- I’m an intuitive dresser (maybe comes with the artist thing), and intuitive shopper. Sometimes it’s just a matter of going with what feels right! </p> <p>Today I got dressed in two minutes flat. With no idea when I got up what I was going to wear. We had an early morning appointment to see the layout of our quartzite counters for our new kitchen island, and I lost track of time and had to shower and dress quickly. </p> <p>I knew I wanted to get a pedicure afterward, and that it was going to be warm today, so I snagged the first pair of sandals that called to me, my Rag &amp; Bone cinnamon and white sandals. I decided that I wanted to pull in some white in the top, so I grabbed my new Athleta white shirt, and with a warm day on tap, my Nili Lotan grey chinos. I needed a belt and remembered I hadn’t worn this belt in a very long time, and it brought in a little metallic and a bit of interest, as well as echoing the tone of the sandals. Funny because I was thinking about giving this belt away and now I won’t. My grey Bao Bao bag was already being used yesterday so I didn’t have to change bags. </p> <p>I’m sitting outside right now (enjoying the weather and escaping contractor noise on our back deck) but here are some lazy pics of the details, including my ring, as signature rings are another detail I like to use when I’m wearing a very simple outfit. This may not be a very exciting outfit but it felt good for errands and I enjoyed wearing it. My husband even remarked that I “looked nice,” so that’s always welcome!</p> <p>I hope that gives at least a little insight!<br /> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---layering-with-the-dramatic-white-coat-and-a-new-color-for-me#post-2316599 Wed, 05 Apr 2023 18:18:38 +0000 Kyle 2316599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I would love to hear about the process you use, if you have one, in creating such wonderful outfits every time. Is it something you think about and plan in advance? Does it happen on the fly? Is there a lot of trying and experimenting that happens? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---layering-with-the-dramatic-white-coat-and-a-new-color-for-me#post-2316299 Mon, 03 Apr 2023 06:35:14 +0000 AJ 2316299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Each layer elevates the one next to it!&nbsp; Glad you found a FAB way to style the coat.&nbsp; Does the back of the coat float or swish as you walk?&nbsp; I enjoy clothing like that.<br />Your hair has great face framing layers!<br />YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---layering-with-the-dramatic-white-coat-and-a-new-color-for-me#post-2316101 Sat, 01 Apr 2023 09:20:45 +0000 Bijou 2316101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous and so glad that the merlot stayed well away from your stunning jacket. Sunny is so cute how he likes to be part of the action. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---layering-with-the-dramatic-white-coat-and-a-new-color-for-me#post-2316041 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 23:58:21 +0000 Janet 2316041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!</p> <p>Funny to how many compliments I got last night. I think the coat is the kind of statement that really seems to work for me. And one of my friends who was wielding an open bottle of Merlot very considerately moved it away from me, LOL. I’ll definitely wear this more often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---layering-with-the-dramatic-white-coat-and-a-new-color-for-me#post-2316040 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 23:53:54 +0000 Jonesy 2316040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! The white jacket is so interesting and looks fantastic with your hair.

The third pic is the style of the other top I have by them, but mine is a darker, more teal green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---layering-with-the-dramatic-white-coat-and-a-new-color-for-me#post-2315941 Fri, 31 Mar 2023 11:26:54 +0000 Anonymous 2315941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww Sunny That's a great coat!

A little boutique I frequent has these short sleeve tops by Naked Zebra in a polyester that feels silky and pleasant. They’re inexpensive and work nicely for layering and to wear in the summer — I have a V-neck one in green from a couple of years ago. I saw this shade of purple and decided to add it to my wardrobe — it’s a lighter but not too pale purple. Lilac and lavender tend to wash me out. </p> <p>Layered under a very old reptile print cashmere hoodie, and the white coat I posted about the other day. Worn with the Nili Lotan jeans, grey Calvin Klein booties, and Stella McCartney crossbody. </p> <p>Going to a couple of local art/design events this evening so this strikes the balance of casual but nice that I’m after. </p> <p>Sunny says hi. </p>
