This is your look. Milk it.&nbsp;Love the owls. Utterly adorable.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125---whooo-has-a-new-neutral-ffbo#post-1149277 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 15:47:38 +0000 retailgirl 1149277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's cheating. You always look cute and put together. My FFBO is a blazer, blouse or knit and pants. Never an "experiment", always something I've worn before that's comfortable and flattering. That's what a FFBO is, right? When I want to up the ante, I add a scarf, maybe contrast color shoes, but my basic formula is the same. Every so often I "play in my closet" and try combinations that I haven't done before, and make sure I wear them that week. If they work and feel good all day, they become a new FFBO! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-125---whooo-has-a-new-neutral-ffbo#post-1149242 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 14:57:03 +0000 lyn* 1149242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning!!</p> <p>I have been playing around with "basic neutrals" in the last few days (including my black and white dotty dress) and found that this FFBO formula is really helping me get dressed quickly: a neutral outfit + a quick pop of colour. I have so many cardigans and blazers, I feel that this basic outfit can just go with any of them. </p> <p>Another overnight for me (owls!), and I felt a little slouchy and bleh, so I pulled out the (happy) red cardigan with the slouchy pockets. </p> <p>Is it cheating to have many variations on a FFBO? Does it just become formula dressing and defeat the 100% planned out nature of a FFBO?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> <ul> <li>Cardigan: Joe Fresh</li> <li>Top: Ricki's</li> <li>Skirt: ModCloth</li> <li>Earrings, Ring: RW&amp;Co</li> <li>Belt: Forever21</li> <li>Boots: Vintage Born</li> </ul>
