I do need some new T-shirts and tops anyway - nothing looks worse than a worn out T-shirt. A lighter colored belt is a good idea too. I'm going to keep my eyes open for a neutral one in a lighter color.</p> <p>Thanks Diane and Rachylou!</p> <p>Thanks Ladywone. I wouldn't say it tastes like chicken, but not like beef either. It tastes like lamb... Try it, it's yummy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228853 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 19:06:43 +0000 Ledonna N. 1228853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You put your outfits together really well.&nbsp; You may feel like you its the same old but you look great.&nbsp; The meal looks wonderful, what a great way to spend time with friends.&nbsp; Does lamb taste like chicken </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228776 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 18:07:12 +0000 rachylou 1228776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, your dinner makes me hungry. This outfit is incredibly flattering. Nothing flagging about it at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228698 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 16:21:15 +0000 Anonymous 1228698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid you look great as always! I think others' suggestions to add a little bit of lightness here and there would be just the pick-me-up you need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228696 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 16:15:55 +0000 texstyle 1228696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Astrid and your meal looks really good too!</p> <p>Maybe you could do what I did recently - despite feeling that I shouldn't buy more tees, I have as they've been on sale and I wanted a couple of good white basics (Gap Essential T's for me) and also found a light blue and a green that are nice for spring (Madewell). I think I paid about $12 for the Gap&nbsp;tees and $18 for the others. Just a few items, plus wearing a lighter colored belt could go a long way.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228667 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 15:30:04 +0000 Astrid 1228667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228650 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 15:13:18 +0000 jackiec 1228650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yum!!</p> <p>I love the colour of your sweater!! Looks fresh to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228646 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 15:10:25 +0000 Astrid 1228646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Windchime! I'm going to try to lighten up in case I buy something new. I'm not rotating clothes so my closet always looks the same, although I put wool sweaters and so on higher up in summer because I don't really need them. But I'm sure if I would rotate clothes you wouldn't be able to see much of a difference when it comes to colors either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228640 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 15:05:58 +0000 Windchime 1228640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your Easter meal looks and sounds heavenly!</p> <p>Your outfit looks great, too. I'm wondering along with others if you just need a few lighter pieces to feel more spring-like. </p> <p>I opened my closet one day last week and realized it didn't look like spring, even though I've removed my heavier sweaters and pants. Now it's mostly black, grey, fuchsia, navy, and burgundy. I'm SYC until May, but I'll definitely be adding a couple lighter-colored pieces when I shop again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228617 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 14:54:55 +0000 Astrid 1228617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz! I hope I'm going to find some much needed/wanted items without breaking the bank. I feel like I could a lot with just a few new items, but to find the right ones might be difficult.</p> <p>Thanks Kiwichik.</p> <p>Thanks Anna! I agree, my spring and summer wardrobe could do with some lighter colors overall. I guess it's because I wear so many of my things year round that I'm always buying darker colors and neutrals.</p> <p>Thanks Gigi. I think getting some lighter colors into the wardrobe is a good idea. My wardrobe is fairly dark when you consider my coloring.</p> <p>Thanks Beth Ann! I haven't been able to wear my summer stuff yet and I don't really have any spring skirts left to put into rotation. I don't have many skirts left, because of fit issues and other problems. Maybe I should shop for at least one new skirt.</p> <p>Thanks Shevia!</p> <p>Thanks Freckles. That's my YLF Secret Santa Scarf. I've purged a lot of stuff and I feel like I don't have many appropriate things left, especially because a few things are getting rather worn out too. </p> <p>Thanks Marmee! It's salad, I just looked it up and another name for it is corn salad.</p> <p>Thanks Asingh! </p> <p>Thanks Ramya! You're too sweet. :)</p> <p>Thanks Deborah! I do feel like I have found my "look" so to say, but my current clothes are not enabling me to do a lot of different combinations. It's definitely a variation on a theme.</p> <p>Thanks Alasse!</p> <p>Thanks Harmonica. I definitely think the changing seasons play a part in it. And yes, it's great to cook with friends - we cook fairly regularly together (with different people depending who has time for it).</p> <p>Thanks Aubergine! That sums it up, I'm not much of a bright/white/pastel person at all.</p> <p>Runcarla, not really. I have the light floral summer dress and one or two shirts that are summer wear to go with shorts or jeans that I haven't worn since last year but most of my stuff was already worn all through winter too. My wardrobe is just that small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228551 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 13:15:24 +0000 Carla 1228551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have any light coloured items waiting to come into rotation? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228530 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 12:28:05 +0000 Anonymous 1228530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dinner looks delicious! Homemade bread dumplings sound seriously yummy.</p> <p>And I think the outfit looks nice too, although I know what you mean. I think spring days where it's just cool enough to need clothes that cover everything&nbsp;can be really annoying. Especially if you're not a huge white/bright/pastel person.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228527 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 12:22:42 +0000 harmonica 1228527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfit! Could it be the seasonal change that makes you feel stuck in a rut? I know I'm like that now. Too cold to pull out the really springy stuff - and May is just around the corner.</p> <p>Delicious dinner! Isn't it nice to cook with friends? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228517 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 12:02:24 +0000 Alassë 1228517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to hear of your stuck-in-a-rut feelings. Your outfit looks exactly on target for your style descriptors, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228463 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 07:32:29 +0000 Deborah 1228463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can come and cook dinner for me anything:) Love your outfit. I don't see any signs of a rut but I do hear you on feeling like you need a few refreshers. I think you have a wonderfully honed style:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228455 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 07:10:05 +0000 ramya 1228455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooo like it.

I've been trying to get more innovative with the clothes that I have, just by mixing and matching stuff, although I did pick up a few pieces last week (to update my wardrobe).</p> <p>And that looks like a delicious spread. Happy Easter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228422 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 04:48:11 +0000 Marmee 1228422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the green on you! &nbsp;</p> <p>Dinner looks delicious! &nbsp;I've never heard of lamb's lettuce. &nbsp;Is it like spinach?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228418 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 04:42:17 +0000 Freckles 1228418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry you feel in a bit of a rut but you look fab as always. &nbsp;<u>Always</u> the most interesting scarves tied in the most interesting ways when you wear one. &nbsp;That green is awesome on you too. &nbsp;Love it.<br />Dinner looks amazing. &nbsp;<br />I'M in a rut too but spring is right around the corner and will be out of turtlenecks for many months... &nbsp;I need to refresh my spring/summer wardrobe as it seems to look old faster. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228334 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 02:16:03 +0000 Jaime 1228334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The green is a great color on you - I like the whole thing.

It is photogenic too...looks like you are at a restaurant. :^)</p> <p>I know the in-the-rut feeling. I have been trying to purchase a few new items in lighter colors (my wardrobe is predominantly dark colors) and also in colors that are new to my wardrobe. I got a lime green scarf not long ago that is "freshening" my wardrobe, and I've got a pair of blush jeans on order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228311 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 01:52:39 +0000 annagybe 1228311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, but it read a bit heavy for spring. That green is good on you.&nbsp;<br />Nice dinner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228309 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 01:50:17 +0000 Kiwichik 1228309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand the whole feeling in a rut thing - I've just come out the other end of that feeling and having purchased a number of new pieces feel reinvigorated.<br /> Despite your "rut" you look delicious as does your meal - yum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228301 Mon, 21 Apr 2014 01:43:41 +0000 Suz 1228301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks delicious, Astrid!! And you look terrific, too. I do understand the frustration of the "same old" clothes. Sometimes an infusion of something fresh is so helpful. Hopefully you'll be able to get something new soon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old#post-1228196 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 22:28:28 +0000 Astrid 1228196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm feeling like I'm in a kind of rut right now, like I need some new pieces to change my looks up. Not that I don't like my outfits, but I'm getting a bit tired of some pieces. Anyone else feeling like they need some refreshers?</p> <p>I couldn't be home for Easter this year, but I met up with a friend today and we made the most awesome dinner - lamb from the crockpot with potatoes and onions, home made bread dumblings and lamb's lettuce. </p>
