You just brightened my whole day :D</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old-but-different#post-1438100 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 17:21:47 +0000 rachylou 1438100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice straightforward outfit! These details make a difference. I was just thinking about how sometimes I'm overly reductionist in my thinking. As in, *I always wear the same thing - top, bottom, shoes.* Lol. Um yeah. We all hope so! It's the TYPE of top, bottom, etc., where the differences come in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old-but-different#post-1438022 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 14:41:12 +0000 Helena 1438022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the kind comments, and sorry to bump this thread but I couldn't get online yesterday so I didn't have a chance to say thanks or comment back.</p> <p>unfrumped, your insight is one I will be exploring ... as I often cheap on on color pieces because I don't see them as staples, but then do I feel uncomfortable because of the color, or because they are just not great pieces. These are the details that can keep me navel-gazing for weeks ;)</p> <p>Thanks all!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old-but-different#post-1437935 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 04:50:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 1437935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely warm colour for the cold </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old-but-different#post-1437907 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 03:05:16 +0000 E 1437907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful outfit; I love that colour.

So I think you made that discovery--color IS a mood and personality thing, some people will feel very exposed and not-right in a bright color, &nbsp;but it is often secondary to the silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old-but-different#post-1437825 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 21:36:06 +0000 Suz 1437825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is fresh and happy!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old-but-different#post-1437803 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 21:04:52 +0000 gryffin 1437803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!&nbsp; Very true to your elegant look but now with a bit of springtime!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old-but-different#post-1437791 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 20:43:35 +0000 celia 1437791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pop of color. nothing wrong with an uniform if it works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---same-old-but-different#post-1437776 Thu, 05 Feb 2015 19:53:30 +0000 viva 1437776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a gorgeous color on top, just&nbsp; the kind of thing to wear in February.

Here is one experiment - sticking to my core pieces of tailored/just-fluid sweater/tee and dark wash jeans, but switching out my neutral top for a vibrant color. Everything else is roughly how I usually do it (e.g. simple accessories, etc.). The bright color is a change, but still feels like 'me' since it is so close to the usual formula.</p> <p>Thanks for looking!</p> <p> </p>
