I have an ink blazer I'll have to make a note of wearing more as a jacket this spring, and will keep an eye out for a black one. So funny that we were twins! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---speaking-of-uniforms-and-inspired-by-gryffin#post-1432122 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 00:23:05 +0000 Marilyn 1432122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TG....Once the weather warms up I wear blazers as outerwear.&nbsp; I even wear them with shorts if it's not hot.&nbsp; I really love a blazer whether woven or knit.&nbsp; Yes, they are not terribly practical in the winter.&nbsp; It's easier to wear a cardigan under a coat when you're on the go.</p> <p>I've recreated this JC look for the last couple summers......except for the hat.&nbsp; I haven't found a hat that doesn't make me look like a dork. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---speaking-of-uniforms-and-inspired-by-gryffin#post-1432077 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 22:40:46 +0000 gryffin 1432077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TG - I just bought white jeans for dearest husband (he's always had a thing for them) so I know exactly what you mean!!&nbsp; Got to keep the boys happy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---speaking-of-uniforms-and-inspired-by-gryffin#post-1432037 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 21:55:41 +0000 Helena 1432037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone - I'm eternally grateful that you are not completely fed up with me by now (or, at least, are too polite to say so!).</p> <p>Gryffin - &nbsp;yes, there are both totally me, totally in my comfort zone and happy place. I love your description of your own uniform, especially the blazer part, which sadly is not the most practical for me most days, but would definitely elevate the look. I do enjoy changing up the cut of my jeans and tops (I too can't fill out a v-neck and prefer crews, but the DH begs to differ so I try to mix it up).&nbsp;</p> <p>That said, I am also aware that I flip flop like a fish on the deck of a boat about these matters - I have color moments and change up the silhouette moments - these usually last about a week, and then I am back to the usual again - usually after much analysis on the matter!! (I DO know myself )<br />I think it would be worthwhile for me to do an experiment of wearing a strict uniform for a month, or even just a few weeks, just to see what I learn from it - I was very content during my Project 333 experiment, until the very end.</p> <p>Thanks all!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---speaking-of-uniforms-and-inspired-by-gryffin#post-1431990 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 20:34:20 +0000 rachylou 1431990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #1. I like the addition of the necklace to the uniform. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---speaking-of-uniforms-and-inspired-by-gryffin#post-1431981 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 20:28:30 +0000 gryffin 1431981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TG - I didn't get to read your other post yet but I am honored to be an inspiration.&nbsp;&nbsp;My uniform is very similiar - I wear crew necks because I can't fill out v-necks, change out jean silouettes, boots/booties of choice, belt and the main difference is I almost always wear a blazer.&nbsp; If I'm hanging at home black cardigan.&nbsp; By swapping out silhouettes in jeans or black/gray jeans or jacket silhouette vs cardi (all black) I can change out the mood, level of formaility but still feel like I look like me.&nbsp; So what are your thoughts?&nbsp; How does this feel?&nbsp;&nbsp;Calm, serene, authentic? or restrictive?&nbsp; You know that I&nbsp;am loving it but it's all about finding what makes you happy and feel like you!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---speaking-of-uniforms-and-inspired-by-gryffin#post-1431969 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 20:00:04 +0000 Thistle 1431969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab uniform!

LOL&nbsp; This is pretty much exactly what I wore yesterday.&nbsp; Your boots even look the same.&nbsp; And, I wore my black leather watch that I got from Coach for Christmas.&nbsp; I wore a pair of modern silver earrings instead of the necklace.&nbsp; Other than that.....yep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---speaking-of-uniforms-and-inspired-by-gryffin#post-1431898 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 18:22:29 +0000 jackiec 1431898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, there you go! Well done on the uniform It's great how you can transform a simple outfit by swapping the accessories. You look great!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---speaking-of-uniforms-and-inspired-by-gryffin#post-1431886 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 18:11:10 +0000 Helena 1431886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi there, speaking of uniforms, I realized that without thinking I've put on the same simple outfit to go grocery shopping today, that I wore for a casual girls night out on Saturday. Just switched out one accessory.&nbsp;Go figure!</p> <p>The sweater is a BR black v-neck and the jeans are dark wash skinnies from Gap. Boots are NineWest. The somewhat statement-y necklace is a cheapy from Dynamite, while the charcoal scarf (which I added inspired by&nbsp;Gryffin's gray and black propensities) is also a cheapy, from Joe Fresh. Photos suck from today, sorry!</p> <p>PS - I look far more inverted triangle than I am in some of my WIWs ... I think it's a result of angling the camera to get my shoes in. I'm sure you were all very concerned about that haha!</p> <p> </p>
