My staff attending has a beautiful collection of silk scarves and she has a different one every day.</p> <p>I guess I"ll just ride this out and see if this is very "me" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-new-fall-back-outfit-formula#post-988772 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 23:59:48 +0000 Anonymous 988772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking just what Shannon said. Your formula seems to be working, you look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-new-fall-back-outfit-formula#post-988558 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 18:14:00 +0000 Transcona Shannon 988558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a rut when you wear it because you feel you're supposed to but it doesn't make you smile, whereas a formula is easy to grab and always makes you feel good and like "you". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-new-fall-back-outfit-formula#post-988555 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 18:11:54 +0000 rachylou 988555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The royal baby is exciting! The only thing I maybe miss about my English ex-boss is time-outs for major royals news. Lol.</p> <p>The formula is working great, esp. with the stunning colour of that blazer!</p> <p>Out of curiosity - if necklaces are no-nos, why are bow ties ok? (I'm thinking it's a safety issue)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-new-fall-back-outfit-formula#post-988507 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 17:09:49 +0000 Peri 988507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm just curious why necklaces are a work no-no? But I'm worried about what the answer might be! I think I can guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-new-fall-back-outfit-formula#post-988407 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 15:28:00 +0000 Lisa 988407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I am no longer happy with my outfits, it's time to shake up the formula.&nbsp; When dressing is easy and I feel happy in my outfits it's a formula that works.&nbsp; I am a big fan of formula dressing, just makes my life so much easier in the morning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-new-fall-back-outfit-formula#post-988386 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 14:59:55 +0000 Thistle 988386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks terrific, especially with the addition of the blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-new-fall-back-outfit-formula#post-988383 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 14:55:43 +0000 Helena 988383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Lyn, I had this same question recently and came to the conclusion (with lots of help from the YLFers) that a rut makes you unhappy and a formula/signature style makes you happy. Add the caveat that the shapes and styles should be generally current, and there you go.</p> <p>That outfit definitely does NOT say rut to me - looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-new-fall-back-outfit-formula#post-988381 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 14:51:34 +0000 Anonymous 988381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks nice!</p> <p>A rut causes angst, and a formula makes your life easier! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-new-fall-back-outfit-formula#post-988377 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 14:48:23 +0000 lyn* 988377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning!</p> <p>Ran late this morning because I was catching up on all the Wills and Kate's baby news!! </p> <p>I have been relying on this "formula" a lot last week and for the most part, I have been pretty happy with the results. </p> <p>Bow blouse &amp; Blazer &amp; Belt &amp; Skirt</p> <p>It works for my work anyway, because necklaces are so no no. </p> <p>How do I differentiate between a "formula" that works and being stuck in a rut? </p>
