Statement items probably get worn more on work days than looking-after-granddaughter days or casual weekend days. I’m probably a bit addicted to the shoe compliments at work! One again today and one 2 days ago. None on the Skechers on the day off yesterday at the supermarket!<br /> Granddaughter days are about warmth and comfort.<br /> Your minimalist outfits look good to me.<br /> I’m still re-mixing my wardrobe and have bought nothing since 23 December. Lots of it is over the 30 wears now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360281 Wed, 15 May 2024 17:19:52 +0000 Star (Lise) 2360281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you&nbsp;<b>Vicki&nbsp;</b>and&nbsp;<b>ChristelJ</b>.&nbsp; I wish I could find boatnecks more often when thrifting.&nbsp; Like a palate cleanser between exotic meals&nbsp;<b>CJ&nbsp;</b>:). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360253 Wed, 15 May 2024 15:35:17 +0000 Vicki 2360253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the boatneck on you with its classic lines and I’m somewhat like cat2 wearing what I know works or trying those repeating items in different ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360245 Wed, 15 May 2024 14:32:09 +0000 ChristelJ 2360245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your minimalist looks work so well to highlight your hair. Also the graceful necklines. I love a boat neck too.<br /> When I see successful minimalist outfits like this, I think I want to try it myself, but I am almost always maximal with my tiers, ruffles, patterns and jewelry. I have exactly one minimal outfit I actually wear once in a while, black pants with a white cropped swing top. It's sort of like an occasional breather in between busy outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360233 Wed, 15 May 2024 13:03:13 +0000 Star (Lise) 2360233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks&nbsp;<b>Brooklyn</b>!&nbsp; You are quite correct about my hair.&nbsp; You know your style very well.&nbsp; I think it is minimally maximalist, like Angie, yet obvs different to her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360208 Wed, 15 May 2024 10:59:54 +0000 Brooklyn 2360208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Minimal suits you very well! But your hair does add a bit of a maximal touch!</p> <p>I think I lean maximal generally but I do have a bit of a thing about clean lines. I tend to shy away from certain embellishments, like wrap belts, pussy bows, hoodies, flounces, lace, shoe laces with bows, big earrings. I think that’s my minimalist side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360193 Wed, 15 May 2024 07:18:04 +0000 Star (Lise) 2360193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jaime&nbsp;</b>and&nbsp;<b>Suntiger&nbsp;</b>we are kindred spirits .</p> <p>&nbsp;<b>Suntiger&nbsp;</b>I really like the sound of your minimalist outfit.&nbsp; I think I need some cognac sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360170 Wed, 15 May 2024 00:07:30 +0000 Jaime 2360170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits!

Black top + dark jeans + cognac shoes/bag is one of my minimal formulas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360106 Tue, 14 May 2024 17:15:01 +0000 Star (Lise) 2360106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cat2&nbsp;</b>Interesting how everyone has a different take on maximal or minimal dressing.&nbsp; For me maximal does not require more creativity necessarily.&nbsp; I have to think more about putting together a minimalist outfit.&nbsp; I was always naturally swinging towards being maximalist, or as&nbsp;<b>Angie </b>just said 'a minimally maximal dresser'.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360103 Tue, 14 May 2024 17:08:44 +0000 Star (Lise) 2360103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks&nbsp;<b>Angie!&nbsp;&nbsp;</b>I think light shoes are my future.&nbsp; I always preferred dark shoes when I was a brunette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360101 Tue, 14 May 2024 17:07:23 +0000 Star (Lise) 2360101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Dee&nbsp;</b>Thanks!&nbsp; I do seem to be becoming a classic dresser in the last few years, which partly matches my style goals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360100 Tue, 14 May 2024 17:05:36 +0000 Star (Lise) 2360100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Roberta&nbsp;</b>It sounds like we are in a similar place currently.&nbsp; I do have a large wardrobe too, which helps with the different moods like you said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360099 Tue, 14 May 2024 17:04:53 +0000 Angie 2360099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great minimal looks, <b>Star</b>! The light shoes pack a punch along with your orange hair :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I am a minimally maximal dresser. Happiest that way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360098 Tue, 14 May 2024 17:03:48 +0000 Star (Lise) 2360098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks&nbsp;<b>Mirjana, Robin and Roberta&nbsp;</b>for the sneaker love.&nbsp; They are my Puma Gumsoles and I have hade them for 8 years.&nbsp; I did not wear them much initially as they pinched my toes a bit but they subsequently stretched and are the most comfortable shoes I have currently, so they get worn a lot for long walks.&nbsp; The soles are supportive which is a necessity to me since developing PF in the last year.&nbsp; I find the blush colour versatile too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360076 Tue, 14 May 2024 16:19:53 +0000 Dee 2360076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say I’m somewhere in the middle, I always feel the need for some type of something particularly with my tops but I don’t wear anything with overly large prints or too many colours. &nbsp;Sometimes all I need is for the buttons on the top to be contrasting.<br />Your minimalist outfits look great, classic and comfortable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360073 Tue, 14 May 2024 15:46:59 +0000 Roberta 2360073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely careen from minimal to maximal! for the last few weeks I have worn mostly denim and black and white. Previously I dressed like a cheerful first grader. this is why I need a big closet (or two).</p> <p>I also love the gum sole sneakers; there's something very classic and yet very modern about them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360043 Tue, 14 May 2024 13:30:56 +0000 cat2 2360043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t have a minimalist setting. I do have different levels of creativity; some days I just throw on an outfit I know works, and some days I am feeling more creative and try to assemble something new to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360037 Tue, 14 May 2024 12:55:20 +0000 RobinF 2360037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the gum sole sneakers, super cute. Nice jacket too. I think I tend to be more minimal and not maximal. But I am still a bit of a mood dresser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360021 Tue, 14 May 2024 10:40:58 +0000 Mirjana 2360021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I wear between maximal and minimal, depending on my mood. You look very nice, i especially like the black shirt and your shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-121#post-2360018 Tue, 14 May 2024 10:06:53 +0000 Star (Lise) 2360018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello All</p> <p>Today I was in a minimalist mood for my morning walk around the neighborhood.&nbsp; &nbsp;A lovely crisp 18 degrees C and partly cloudy after a rainy day yesterday.&nbsp; &nbsp;In line with Angie's blog yesterday I am not really following any trends and very much DMOT.&nbsp; &nbsp;I jump from maximal to minimal daily.</p> <p>These are all old loved items; black boat neck tee (my best neckline) from South Africa and white denim jacket also from SA.&nbsp; &nbsp;The jacket is very light and is only for late Spring.&nbsp; &nbsp;Both 15+ years old!&nbsp; &nbsp;Jeans thrifted approx 8 years ago and have had a lot of wear from me, around 150 wears.&nbsp; &nbsp;Minimal black studs in my ears and a statement black and white ring.</p> <p>The first and third pics are from a couple of days ago (sorry struggling with the order of the pics),&nbsp; also in a minimalist mood.&nbsp; A Zara black button down shirt with a mandarin collar that I recently thrifted and absolutely love.&nbsp; &nbsp;A thick woven cotton fabric, it may well be too hot for peak summer but loving it at the moment.</p> <p>Do any of you veer between maximal and minimal like I am currently experiencing?&nbsp; &nbsp; Any other thoughts/comments welcome too!&nbsp; &nbsp;Thanks for looking.</p> </p>
