The pants almost feel like a neutral - I'm not sure there is anything I wouldn't pair with them!</p> <p><b>Rachy</b>: I think <b>Annagybe</b> would look great in this sweater, and it's a compliment to me that it reminds you of her.</p> <p><b>Helena, Janet</b>, thanks for those kind words. It has really been a challenging time in so many ways.</p> <p><b>Joy, Shevia, Lynette, La Ped, Aquamarine, Runcarla, Lisa</b> .... the hair. Well, you've all made me at least comfortable with where it is now, and I'll figure out where I'm headed over the next few months. But thanks as always for the boost!</p> <p><b>Star</b>, so nice to "meet" you too!</p> <p><b>Jam, Brooklyn, Bijou, Suz</b> thanks for the welcome back. This whole thread has been such a lift to me.</p> <p><b>Sal</b>, have you ever looked at me&amp;em?&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, thanks for the idea of lighter boots. I always forget bookending! I have silver boots, which I might try.</p> <p><b>Sloper, Kellygirl, Slim cat, Fashintern</b>: It's so nice to hear the love for this outfit. I really think the pants are a big piece of why this works so well.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Phoebe</b>: Your compliment really means so much. Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2176089 Thu, 04 Mar 2021 11:43:15 +0000 JamC 2176089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back! I missed your posts. Love each item individually. I wouldn’t have thought to wear them together (I don’t really pattern mix). But I love the combo here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2176085 Thu, 04 Mar 2021 10:11:10 +0000 Brooklyn 2176085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello! Lovely to see you! You are looking fab as ever. Love the pattern mix. Pants are awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2176073 Thu, 04 Mar 2021 06:42:19 +0000 Anonymous 2176073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Lisa , Manet and Shevia. You look fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2176049 Thu, 04 Mar 2021 02:12:07 +0000 Jaime 2176049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with everyone that you look fab, including your hair. Also agree with the idea that posting is a great way too grow confidence and lower self consciousness. Has been absolutely therapeutic for me over the years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2176028 Thu, 04 Mar 2021 00:30:42 +0000 Bijou 2176028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I could have written exactly what Janet said. You look fabulous, the new spring clothes are magic on you. It is so lovely to see you back on the forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2176014 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 23:15:20 +0000 Lynette 2176014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for that awesome hairstyle! But of course YOU have to love it so here’s to growing it! Beautiful outfit as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2176001 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 22:20:11 +0000 Janet 2176001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, it’s so great to see you! I’m glad you posted and would not know you’re struggling with anything, weight, hair, whatever, from the way you look. Terrific outfit, and I think your hair looks cool. But I understand the feeling — I’m not totally loving my hair right now even though folks on the forum seem to like it, and feeling less than fab and fashionable these days. I think it’s combination pandemic fatigue and winter doldrums. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175978 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 21:02:07 +0000 LaPed 2175978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! The houndstooth side-stripe is brilliant, and your hair is very cute. I feel like I've been growing my bangs out for an eternity (really just since mid-summer) so I understand how tedious it can be, and how tempting to just chop! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175960 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 19:31:58 +0000 Aquamarine 2175960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see you! You look sensational and I LOVE your hair.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175956 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 19:27:04 +0000 Sal 2175956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely modern outfit, those pants are super fun (I wish I could find something similar).</p> <p>Lovely to see you - and I agree with the sentiments behind posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175949 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 19:14:20 +0000 Angie 2175949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOOKING SOO FAB,<b> VIV</b>!

A little scandi the whole outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175877 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 16:05:55 +0000 amiable 2175877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others!&nbsp; You look fabulous, and I love the pattern mixing.&nbsp; I always love Blundstones, and they look great here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175873 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 15:54:01 +0000 Carla 2175873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, you are looking good! &nbsp;Echoing Lisap with more hair love. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175866 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 15:34:13 +0000 Anonymous 2175866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi my friend! &nbsp;I get the same benefit out of posting - helps with my negative self-talk and general uber self-consciousness. &nbsp;</p> <p>Ok, that sweater and pants is a great pairing , even with the boots. &nbsp;The boots actually add that relaxed , cool factor on days when being super polished isn't necessary. &nbsp;I think GOACA did a me&amp;em posting the other day - did you see it?</p> <p>And why do I always love your hair when you don't ? You look super chic with this cut. It's current, and suits your face. &nbsp;I look stuck in a time warp most of the time and don't know how to escape &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175865 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 15:31:30 +0000 nuancedream 2175865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit, Viva and perfect for winter transitioning into spring. I adore pattern mixing. Those pants fit you beautifully. I had not heard of&nbsp;<br />me &amp; em, but I will certainly keep a look out for this brand. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175864 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 15:24:24 +0000 viva 2175864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Tanya</b>, their pricing is quite high but their quality is really lovely. I think they will be a brand whose sale section I stalk (I got these pants on sale).&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the comment,<b> Robin</b>. I have a love/hate relationship with these boots right now because I have been living in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175862 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 15:19:33 +0000 RobinF 2175862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great outfit. I think the Blundstones add a coolness that works very well. Love those pants and the light color palette makes me feel like spring is actually coming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175860 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 15:12:15 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2175860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you did pic 3—that’s really cool, especially for when we find a straight-on track pants stripe too much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175859 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 15:12:00 +0000 Tanya 2175859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit!&nbsp; Thank you for reminding me about me &amp; em, I have always wanted to try their stuff and then forgot.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-practice-run#post-2175857 Wed, 03 Mar 2021 15:03:54 +0000 Mirjana 2175857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely pattern mix!!! </p>
