And yes, there will always be churn. Our lives, bodies, and tastes aren't stagnant.

I love how you have styled them. I adore the pleated scarf with the necklace on you especially. You have never looked more stylish.<br /> What you said about trying to find the perfect piece that will last forever really resonates with me - I do that too and no, it is not always the way to go. Refreshing is important. The challenge for me is to find the balance between refreshing and departure from my style. You have done the perfect refreshing brilliantly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---this-weekend#post-2078517 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 12:31:55 +0000 Bijou 2078517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving these new colours on you and the scarf is beautiful. I can sometimes feel a bit contrived with a scarf, this one looks perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---this-weekend#post-2078464 Tue, 19 Nov 2019 11:42:23 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2078464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice!

I think it would work either way - I'm pretty sure Angie had her yellow one semi-tucked in a photo from another thread, so that might be the way to go for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---this-weekend#post-2078244 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 17:47:04 +0000 Marilyn 2078244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Really nice, Helena! :)</div><div><br /></div><div>How are you tucking those ribbed merino sweaters?&nbsp; Are you sort of semi-tucking?&nbsp; I tried the blue one on yesterday...gorgeous colour and fit....but I wasn't sure what to do with the bottom.&nbsp; A full tuck, on me, very often doesn't look smooth....if you know what I mean.&nbsp; <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---this-weekend#post-2078236 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 17:08:56 +0000 Preppy Pear 2078236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They all look so good on you, but I have to give a special shout out to the blue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---this-weekend#post-2078234 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 17:02:30 +0000 RobinF 2078234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great. Love the balloon sleeve and also the ribbed sweater. simple but with just a touch of extra. Your necklace is cute too. I also try to make purchases that will last forever but often my favorites are the ones that are an impulse and the "sure thing" sits unworn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---this-weekend#post-2078231 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 16:53:58 +0000 slim cat 2078231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All looks pretty perfect - love necklace/scarf combo ( silver looks amazing on you )! I really like jewelry BR did this year - was tempted to get multi chain but already have too many . I think your subtle changes are the best way to deal with ever changing fashion - well done! Belt is "cherry on top". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---this-weekend#post-2078225 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 16:39:54 +0000 Chris987 2078225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done! I love the necklace and the scarf that is just up around the neck and not hanging down....I need to try that with a sweater I have in a similar color. Come to think of it, it would be a good thing for ALL the crewneck sweaters I have! </p> <p>You make a good point that looking for that perfect thing that will last forever and ever isn't always the way to go. It's great when you find them, but by definition they are going to be uber-classic, and even though I love classics more than most, I don't want all my clothes to be that way. Some new trends or replacements are equally good to make a balanced wardrobe. Plus most of us have changing tastes from time to time.  </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---this-weekend#post-2078222 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 16:36:33 +0000 nemosmom 2078222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>These are all so fab, TG!! I am amazed at how much impact a simple<br /> tweak to an essential item can have. The colors you have chosen are such<br /> a fresh change from your navy - the deep forest, chocolate, and pacific<br /> blue are all still dark like the navy, but offer enough shift in color<br /> to shake things up. I like how you are wearing the scarf to create a<br /> turtleneck sort of effect, too! You wear all of these so very<br /> beautifully. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I love what you said here, <i>"Note me not panicking or justifying why I have skinnies...Just adding 'black crops' to the wishlist and going about my merry way..."&nbsp; </i>I am taking notes!!<i><br /></i></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---this-weekend#post-2078203 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 15:56:06 +0000 kellygirl 2078203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are so sleek and stylish! Those sweaters are perfect for your style--so streamlined. Scarf, necklace and belt add just enough interest to elevate without looking fussy.

It really is an 'elevated basic' I'd say, as compared to prior years where it really is just a plain v-neck ... try one this season, because if history repeats and they do well, next year's version will be at half-quality *sigh*<br /><b><br />Suz</b>, that blue is going to look gorgeous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---this-weekend#post-2078193 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 15:31:51 +0000 Christina F. 2078193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Yes, whatever you are doing is working for you!

Not too crazy, or too far away from your personal style, but rather a nice upgrade. &nbsp;I'm beginning to think I need to have a look at those darn merino sweaters. FOMO is now getting to me &nbsp;My husband's version of your husband's comment is : &nbsp;" you look good today"- when I'm wearing some random thing that is old .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---this-weekend#post-2078181 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 15:05:35 +0000 Suz 2078181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The green balloon sleeve the scarf is gorgeous on you! I really love the slight femininity of the sleeve and the green is a nice change. Also love the blue sweater (which is winging its way to me I hope as I type...).&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---this-weekend#post-2078171 Mon, 18 Nov 2019 14:49:33 +0000 Helena 2078171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi friends, really enjoying my new tops from BR (people will be sick of me talking about these tops!). Even DH noticed (in contrast to his usual "I've never seen that top before" when I've been wearing it for 2 years lol) - thus proving that sometimes it's just a simple of refreshing some of your tried-and-true looks and pieces. (learning #1, or should I say re-learning!)</p> <p>Learning 2 - I can spot an opportunity to evolve my look, and my usual approach is to a) double-down on what I've been doing to date and then b) panic that I've fallen behind the times and get super-stressy about it all. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-everything-churn-churn-churn">Nemosmom's post</a> about wardrobe churn reminded me that it's okay to refresh for the purpose of refreshing. Ironically, <i>my attempts to buy the perfect thing that will last forever and ever has probably resulted in more waste and mistakes then just allowing some churn</i> as I change and grow.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyways, here's WIW:</p> <p>1 - 2: Green balloon-sleeve tee with new scarf and layering necklace. This is the first square silky scarf that I could tie without feeling like I was being strangled. Well done BR :)<br />3 - 4: The merino sweater in pacific blue. Accessorized this one with my leopard belt, but the scarf goes with this one too (and blush - yay!)<br />5: I shared this already - the chocolate and olive outfit.</p> <p>Evolve my style opportunity: I wore my skinny black pants but wished I had wide (or at least wider) black pants instead. Note me not panicking or justifying why I have skinnies (which are about 5 years old). Just adding 'black crops' to the wishlist and going about my merry way in the meantime. :D</p> <p>PS - Excuse the lighting - with gray skies, everything is either over- or under-lit!</p>
