The color is wonderful on you. And I love your challenges, it is such a great way to ensure you wear your clothes and also assess if items should be living in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---month-of-august-accountability-again#post-710502 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 02:20:06 +0000 celia 710502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, you got to wear your clothes , it is so dificult when we are at home and you created outfits and sticked to your resolution.<br /> The outfit in pic #2 looks very good on you, love the color of the top on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---month-of-august-accountability-again#post-710077 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 15:27:40 +0000 rae 710077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great observations! I wonder if you will wear more heels in CA - somehow, sweaty hot weather and heels don't seem to go together. </p> <p>Love the new tank! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---month-of-august-accountability-again#post-710070 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 15:19:35 +0000 Angie 710070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit on you, Malina! Simple, chic fabness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---month-of-august-accountability-again#post-709796 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 03:20:48 +0000 Suz 709796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new tank is lovely and sophisticated! </p> <p>I totally understand why you are doing this challenge and respect you for it. </p> <p>As a WAH person I could go days and days without dressing except for workouts. In fact, before I found YLF I pretty much wore my workout gear all the time, except if I had to go to the bank or something. And then I'd be in a total panic, because I've never been the kind of person who likes to go into town wearing gear. You'd think I'd been invited to the Prime Minister's residence or something. </p> <p>Anyway...I like your idea of giving challenges to yourself, and I might try something similar. </p> <p>I've found it much more difficult in the summer to dress in a way that pleases me, so I think your challenge is that much greater because you live where it is so hot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---month-of-august-accountability-again#post-709769 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 02:32:20 +0000 cheryl 709769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in your new tank. Lots of great looks in August! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---month-of-august-accountability-again#post-709545 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 19:52:36 +0000 velvetychocolate 709545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful in that lavender colour! Wow. </p> <p>Also - it sure looks like you've had a pretty fab month of August - and I'm impressed with how you've set these goals and stuck to them, despite not necessarily going out. My life is a bit like that too - while I do have some 'work at home' projects going on, if I'm not going anywhere, it's easy (for me) to let the casual become too casual. I'm inspired by what you're achieving with making sure you get to wear your clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---month-of-august-accountability-again#post-709513 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 19:05:26 +0000 Kiwichik 709513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry I missed most of your August sartorial efforts but if your latest outfit is anything to go by looks like you had a good month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---month-of-august-accountability-again#post-709359 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 15:31:16 +0000 merwoman 709359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous tank - love how you've paired it with the white bermudas (great fit) and those snakeskin sandals.<br /> I haven't challenged myslef to a challenge - but I think you learn a lot in the process. Seems to provide valuable information about what works in your wardrobe and what is not so successful. Good luck with the shoe challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---month-of-august-accountability-again#post-709330 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 14:48:07 +0000 Mo 709330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I told myself when I moved here that I would not resort to PJ's and loungewear most of the time. So, I get dressed everyday (for the most part) even if I know I am not leaving the house or doing much more than tidying up watching tv.<br /> The reasoning was twofold - one, to feel better everyday by being dressed and not getting in a slump. Two - to find out what I actually wear out of my closet. Also, several things got purged after wearing them, or seeing a pic of them, and not really liking it on me anymore. All three were prints, incidentally. </p> <p>Now in my second month, one thing that strikes me about what I am *not* wearing is black tank tops. I have no less than 3 of them, and have not worn one! I also am not wearing heels or my dresses much. I had to make a dress-a-week challenge for myself for August to get them worn more. The exception here is my green grecian drape (aka the paper bag dress) that I can't seem to get enough of. It had a seam split last Sunday, so it's off to the dry cleaners for repair The repair, at $11, cost more than the $8 purchase price, lol. That is so worth it to me.</p> <p>So, now on to September. I wonder if I should challenge myself to try and wear every pair of shoes I brought (minus the blue ankle boots I wore on the plane). That might be fun!</p> <p>Apologies for the teeny tiny pic, but I listed all the WIW week by week already. Don't want to bore anyone with 30+ of the same pics all over again! (EDIT the last pic I hadn't posted yet. It was yesterday's WIW in my new Vera Wang tank.) </p>
