We had some warm days in between, but it's been fairly chilly and rainy recently.</p> <p>Thanks so much Freckles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-638285 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 15:34:50 +0000 Freckles 638285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning Astrid.</p> <p>These looks are so totally awesome on you and to think how they were put together without too much thought going into in says how awesome your style journey has become.</p> <p>You are definately the scarf person that I look to when thinking about scarves and outfits and your new bag really hits the right note. Love the new top too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-638184 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 13:54:47 +0000 Irene 638184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it still cold in Germany, Astrid? You look great and ready for chilly days </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-638114 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 12:18:12 +0000 Astrid 638114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie!</p> <p>Thanks Una! I would have probably worn the denim/black/white/purple combination, but never the first color combination. And I wouldn't have worn a skirt, or any other pattern than strpes for sure. </p> <p>Thanks Aida! I hope you all won't get tired of seeing that top on me, I have so few at the moment that it probably will be worn often this summer.</p> <p>Thanks Nancy! I love it too, I think it's one of my favourite silhouettes on me. </p> <p>Thanks Harmonica! I agree, it's always interesting and fun to see where the different people come from. I can say that simple and clean are still things I like, and scarves of course. If I say boring, I mean I only wore blue or black denim with one solid color and a neutral. I wouldn't wear two colors together and if I had a patterned item (only stripes) the other items were solid. I would only wear maxi skirts because I didn't felt like I could show my legs and most of my tops were these layering shirts like the one above, with either short or long sleeves. And I only wore bootcuts!</p> <p>Thanks Deborah! I guess the change has been so slow that I had time to get used to looking this way. But I think this slow development was a good thing in my case, everything I ever wore on my style journey felt rather natural to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-638108 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 12:06:41 +0000 Deborah 638108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two totally fab casual looks. I think you underestimate how good they look. Both outfits have that very stylish "Astrid" touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-638087 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 11:08:44 +0000 harmonica 638087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid - you look adorable in the photo you added. I actually like that outfit too. Simple and sort of clean, and the scarf lifting the whole outfit. But I can also see that your recent outfit is much bolder in terms of pattern, layers, siluette. For me it kind of resonates with Suz vetaran post the other day where she looked back at her style journey. Very interesting, enlightening and fun! :-)</p> <p>I had to go back and see if I could find some photos from before I started my style renewal (a year or two before YLF). You said it - awkvard </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637922 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 02:24:53 +0000 nancylee 637922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very lovely Astrid. I like both looks, but you look especially nice in a full skirt (#2). The style just seems to suit you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637907 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 02:07:40 +0000 Aida 637907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such great and superbly fab casual outfits Astrid! I love seeing the ikat top on you, it makes me smile every time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637842 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 00:28:27 +0000 catgirl 637842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great. Could you imagine wearing these color combinations 2 years ago? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637780 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 23:22:15 +0000 Angie 637780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ADORABLE Astrid </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637716 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 21:18:00 +0000 Astrid 637716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kirti! I'm looking forward to see where this journey will take me in the future. It's just so much fun! :)</p> <p>Thanks Harmonica! I had to search a bit to find a picture where you can see my entire outfit, I was not in the habit of taking outfit pictures then. I wouldn't say I looked horrible, but my clothes were certainly boring and not fashionable. I read some time in the forum before I started posting, so my first YLF pictures are a bit more interesting. Although even they look awkward in retrospect. ;)</p> <p>Thanks Suz! I have loved wearing scarves for as long as I remember. </p> <p>Thanks Erica! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637691 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:54:52 +0000 Erica 637691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! You look great </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637656 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:26:27 +0000 Suz 637656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the combo of the ikat with the scarf. You are our scarf Queen!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637641 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:08:04 +0000 harmonica 637641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>these are two great outfits! as others says very effortless, cool and stylish</p> <p>out of curiosity, how would your everyday outfit be pre YLF or at your very start of YLF? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637605 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 19:35:38 +0000 Kirti 637605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ikat with the olive is SO fab. I also love the second outfit. Your style has evolved in an awesome direction </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637561 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:51:44 +0000 Astrid 637561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shannon! I wouldn't call it cool, but it sure works for me. ;)</p> <p>Thanks Meredith! Outfit #2 is definitely still one of my favourite silhouettes.</p> <p>Thanks bj1111! You're right, that IS an accomplishment. I never thought I could get there. </p> <p>Thanks Julie! </p> <p>Thanks Christieanne! Makes perfect sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637551 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:44:42 +0000 christieanne 637551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that ikat top as well! You do look comfortable but well put together. It's great to have built a closet with things that work for you so you don't have to work hard to look good. Does that make sense lol? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637547 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:39:40 +0000 RoseandJoan 637547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Comfortable inside and out, I think your smile says it all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637542 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:33:42 +0000 bj1111 637542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think you underestimate the specialness of these outfits and the specialness of being able to dress yourself with ease. you have really grown into your sense of style! how fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637536 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:30:17 +0000 Meredith1953 637536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The ikat print is really pretty and looks great with the olive scarf! I also love how you can wear those flirty little skirts with the denim jacket and tights and look so fresh and pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637535 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:29:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 637535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your outfits Astrid - you have such a cool style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637532 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:28:10 +0000 Astrid 637532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Celia!

These are actually the only plain scarves I own, all my other ones are patterned.</p> <p>Thanks Manidipa! I love those two items too. And you're right, it feels much easier now to get dressed. I think I'm on the right way!</p> <p>ETA Thanks Kiwichik and Joy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637514 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:18:26 +0000 Anonymous 637514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the red and olive green together. These outfits look effortless and comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637512 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:17:37 +0000 Kiwichik 637512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both looks &amp; like Mandipa I'm a fan of tthe Ikat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637503 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:12:55 +0000 ManidipaM 637503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I have a great big soft spot for that ikat top, especially when paired with green on you, *and* for that unusually trimmed jacket! So, how can I not love both these great looks?</p> <p>You look delightfully coordinated for 'comfort outfits'. Clearly, you've hit your style stride big-time there, when it starts to feel effortless in the everyday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637493 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 18:04:30 +0000 ClaraT 637493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often wear a plain top with a patterned scarf, and now I'm inspired to try a patterned top with a plain scarf. Nice look, and thanks for the idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---two-of-my-recent-everyday-looks#post-637437 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 17:16:09 +0000 Astrid 637437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing special, but I thought I'd show what my casual everyday outfits look like these days. And for the sake of completeness, my stylish "handbag" I'm carrying around at least three days a week. ;)</p> <p>This is me getting dressed for comfort and without thinking too much about my outfit. That would have looked very different two years ago... :)</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
