I never finding replacing items as exciting as the newer, flashier stuff, but I've learned that basics really matter.</p> <p>Here's to a successful hunt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-cant-do-a-12x12#post-820844 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 02:35:05 +0000 Suz 820844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool boots!! And yes, isn't it frustrating when you realize your wardrobe holes at the last minute (or too late)? Oh well....no reason to aim for a 12 x 12 unless you really already have more or less what you need, I say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-cant-do-a-12x12#post-820828 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 02:13:30 +0000 shedev 820828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that too thistle. I'm about half way there. Someone mentioned that they were doing a 20X12. I'm thinking about doing the same thing as it would give me a little more room for wardrobe building but still help me to practice thoughtful purchasing.</p> <p>Deborah, thank you for the compliment. You made my day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-cant-do-a-12x12#post-820629 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:55:24 +0000 Deborah 820629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those boots are so fab:). Agree that a longer sweater might be a better option with the pants but its a nice sweater and over a wider leg pant might create better proportions. Your outfit has a lot of personality, I like:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-cant-do-a-12x12#post-820625 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:50:19 +0000 Thistle 820625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you! You have to be at a really good place with your closet to do a 12 x 12 IMO. I am still in the early part of my style journey, so it won't work for me either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-cant-do-a-12x12#post-820623 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:48:05 +0000 shedev 820623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adelpha- Thanks, I really love these boots. They are super comfy and fit perfectly.<br /> Inge- I really like the sweater, just not with skinnies. I never thought of wearing with a skirt but I think it could work with bootcuts too. I'll post some pictures soon of both looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-cant-do-a-12x12#post-820548 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 21:48:05 +0000 Inge 820548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*smile*</p> <p>That's a fun sweater, Shedev. I agree that a slightly longer one would be good with these pants, but perhaps you can wear this jumper with a skirt instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-cant-do-a-12x12#post-820486 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 21:12:33 +0000 Adelfa 820486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hate it when that happens! Sometimes everything seems to stop being wearable at once, not sure why. LOVE the boots, and they look great with the pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-cant-do-a-12x12#post-820478 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 21:03:07 +0000 shedev 820478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually wear a black Old Navy shirt with these pants but it became too pilled so I retired it. First I tried a cream colored sweater, then a blue and white striped sweater and rejected both due to fit issues. This was shirt number 3 and I'm still not really happy. I'd like it if the shirt was a little longer. I planned to wear both the first two sweaters with the bed stu boots so now I've got some holes to fill.</p> <p>sweater- XX BY MEXX<br /> jeans- Domaine<br /> belt- Hipwear<br /> boots- Steve Madden </p>
