I wish I looked this good when working from home. What do you think your summer uniform is going to be? Or have you not planned that yet? I find summer “at home” wear a huge challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-reframe-january#post-1991569 Sun, 13 Jan 2019 02:00:37 +0000 rachylou 1991569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spiffy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-reframe-january#post-1991448 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 15:19:41 +0000 Kathie 1991448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfit formula and the brighter colors that you added this year.

You're like Angie in that respect. She also has that secret with just a jeans and sweater. I especially like the contrast outfit. With the white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-reframe-january#post-1991362 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 07:29:52 +0000 Amy Isabella 1991362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classic polished perfection :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-reframe-january#post-1991358 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 07:01:25 +0000 Style Fan 1991358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits!&nbsp; This works so well for you.&nbsp; The belt looks perfect for your style.&nbsp; I like the Blondo boots. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-reframe-january#post-1991347 Sat, 12 Jan 2019 06:30:12 +0000 Jane 1991347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with you on January but I do like the fresh start thing to the New Year.

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.</p> <p>Love your project to add items judiciously based on your observations. I think a belt with a little something interesting is a perfect idea.</p> <p>You look great in all these outfits, but I'm especially partial to #4. So crisp and classic, and that high contrast is super on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-reframe-january#post-1991192 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 21:34:36 +0000 Barbara Diane 1991192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your post.

Hooray for tea!<br />Nemosmom, thanks and glad to have the company :)<br />Karen, thanks and glad it might have given you some ideas for outfit elements, and thanks for the vote on the belt - it seems simple enough but interesting enough, if that makes sense. Fingers crossed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-reframe-january#post-1991057 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 17:09:15 +0000 karen13 1991057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great uniform for you. Polished and put together without being fussy. I need to copy some of these elements. And I like the idea of an item a month.

You calmed me with it. Thank you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking gorgeously polished, simple and classic as usual. You rock your uniform, <b>Helena.</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>YES to a new belt. Silver hardware to match the necklaces you'll get in July :)</p> <p>SOOOO with you on celebrating the brilliance of the short puffer. Both of mine are workhorses.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-reframe-january#post-1990993 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 14:49:50 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1990993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love your take on January! I’m going to adopt your philosophy for myself - pare down and reset.</p> <p>Your WIWs look great- streamlined and elegantly understated. The belt you are wearing looks very polished, and I look forward to seeing what you find as a replacement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-reframe-january#post-1990990 Fri, 11 Jan 2019 14:45:22 +0000 Helena 1990990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>Well, this week marks the first proper week of January for me (the first week we were on vacation for most of it), and I must admit, if I was asked to rank the months in order from most the least favorite, January would come in at a solid 12. But, there are some good points to January ... after the busy holidays - busy social calendar, busy decorations, busy to-do lists - January's pared down demands are a relief. Routines are re-booted, resolutions (whether or not they last) usually resuscitate self-care after December's rush. Introspection makes sense. As does spending plenty time at home and drinking copious amounts of tea :)</p> <p>As in life, so in personal style. This year, I'm taking advantage of January to reset my style foundations. From an everyday dressing perspective, this week that looked like <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/outfit-axiom-thx-sarah">axiomatic dressing</a>&nbsp;and embracing the simplest oufits that make me feel polished and ready for the day.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm trying to embrace mindful purchasing this year, and my (loose) goal is one item a month, based on what I observe that month (I'm also trying to be good about jotting down what pieces I'm wearing and taking daily outfit photos). This month, I'm thinking of a new belt with a touch more interest than my current one - an easy finishing piece for uber-simple outfits.</p> <p>Happy Friday everyone! xx</p> <p>1. Burgundy v-neck and skinnies&nbsp;<br />2. Truth in mug form ;)<br />3. Red crew-neck and skinnies&nbsp;<br />4. Black crew-neck and skinnies, with white button-up layered underneath, to perk it up a little for a business-casual meeting and lunch with my Mom &amp; Dad<br />5. Turquoise crew-neck, skinnies (these skinnies work hard lol), silver necklace<br />Note - for outerwear, my Zara lightweight puffer has been hands-down the best purchase I've ever made. Surprisingly warm, it's done the job for all but the most frigid or outdoorsy days. </p> <p>Finds also shows the belt I am considering - the double-circle one for Nordstrom (can you believe I've never purchased for there before!)</p>
