And I'm sure I'd love the one you actually wore, as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm often flummoxed by layered looks like this one, too. I like it in theory, but not how it feels on me. I seem to have a higher tolerance for a layered over silk shirt, vs. a crisp one -- the silk feels less "bunchy" to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I never feel as if I am wearing an "outfit" when I'm in my work at home wear. A sweater and pants....how is that an outfit? But it's what I wear. I would love to have company from you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession/page/2#post-1084535 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 04:20:33 +0000 Beth Ann 1084535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's clear that you know how to choose well-fitting, quality garments.&nbsp; Choosing to layer or accessorize is a form of minimalism -- which is quite chic, actually.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession/page/2#post-1084479 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 02:59:41 +0000 Ariadne 1084479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm the exact same way. Can't stand wearing fussy or layered looks, much as I love them on others.&nbsp;Please post more of your simple outfits! &nbsp;I need the inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession/page/2#post-1084469 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 02:50:20 +0000 catgirl 1084469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I would rarely post outfits if I followed that logic!&nbsp; I adore your closet outfit but my idea is top, bottom, boots.&nbsp; The items themselves need to be more interesting because of that, but I am pretty pared down in style otherwise.&nbsp; Post away - the more of a range we have here, the better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084454 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 02:41:06 +0000 Jaime 1084454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Simple is not easy and this outfit (and I bet the one you actually wore) looks really put together and good. I rarely vary my accessories (watch, wedding ring, stud earrings) but love a good shoe and would be delighted to see more of your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084440 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 02:25:05 +0000 Peri 1084440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I create outfits either. Pants, top, scarf or jewelry...that's it. I enjoy the looks others come up with, but ease suits me better. I don't post a lot of WIW either but I do post pictures with questions...lately keep or toss! (Funny, they've all been toss). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084435 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 02:20:30 +0000 E 1084435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think simplicity is just as interesting as complexity! Sometimes simple outfits don't photograph as nicely as they look in real life, so if you're not happy with your photos&nbsp;maybe try taking&nbsp;some detail shots too? I almost always wear delicate jewelry and it gets a bit lost in the full body shot, so I just take a couple close ups. I also think lovely textures show up best in the closer photos.</p> <p>Your closet remix outfit looks good, but I bet the sweater substitute looked just as good! There's no way I could layer 3 long sleeve tops without feeling arm-strangled, so it makes sense to me that you changed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084401 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 01:49:44 +0000 Anonymous 1084401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit! And simple does not mean not worthy of posting. I for one feel more drawn to the simpler side. One of the best things on this board is that there is a range of looks and styles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084395 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 01:47:01 +0000 minimalist 1084395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Missey, I'm another who would love to see your actual outfits.

I love this outfit, and I'm attracted to the little details - how you turned your cuffs, the fit of your jacket, the check of that shirt (LOVE that shirt). It's just fun to see the choices people make, whatever they are. Simple, complicated, there's room for everyone. Please post more!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084325 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 00:53:08 +0000 LACeleste 1084325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my kind of outfit! &nbsp;You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084311 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 00:48:46 +0000 sarah 1084311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, we are kindred spirits when it comes to keeping it simple - I was just thinking the other day, "Is it OK that I wear trousers or jeans, crewneck sweaters, and booties, nearly every day?" You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084308 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 00:47:45 +0000 Mo 1084308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Post away! &nbsp;I wear simple things often, especially in the FL heat. &nbsp;This month I've even resorted to posting my lounge looks for No Repeat November. &nbsp;If I can post the down and dirty, you can certainly post your streamlined every day looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084303 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 00:46:48 +0000 karymk 1084303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please post your simple chic outfits!

I would love to see more pictures from you, I think you look great. And love your boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084278 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 00:35:22 +0000 CocoLion 1084278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fabulous version of classic casual! &nbsp;I love it. &nbsp;Thanks for posting and inspiring us. &nbsp;I haven't thought of layering a shirt and sweater like that, then topping it with a blazer -- in a while, so I think I'm going to copy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084277 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 00:34:50 +0000 gryffin 1084277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First that is a fabulous outfit you posted.&nbsp; Second, what is wrong with simple?&nbsp; Line, proportion, texture all make for a modern, comfortable and elegant outfit.&nbsp; Being a minimalist at heart, and after seeing this outfit, it would be a great pleasure if you would consider posting what you really wear.&nbsp; You wear clothes beautifully and I'd love to see what you really like!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084270 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 00:31:39 +0000 Anonymous 1084270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i am actually a very simple dresser, I think.

The outfit you posted is excellent but I would feel too fussy with it. For me it's more a layering issue.<br />I would be interested in seeing what you really wore because 'simple' outfits don't mean uninteresting it all depends on the application and you showed us here that you got what it takes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084260 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 00:29:15 +0000 kellygirl 1084260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit.

They are absolutely worth posting and they are inspirational to others. NEVER assume what you wear is too plain. There are a LOT of people who actually prefer a minimalist approach.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084217 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 00:00:10 +0000 Word Lily 1084217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm often dressed like that, too (as you describe); it lets me play with color and highlight my accessories (although said accessories usually aren't worn at home, where I spend most of my days). I think you could still post, this site has a broad range of styles and preferences, and you shouldn't sell yourself short just because you have a formula that works for you that happens to be simple. I think there are quite a few members who actually describe their style as "minimal," among other things.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084215 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 23:59:46 +0000 dustt 1084215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Missey - I get it - I'm a simple dresser too - but keep on with the experimenting - that outfit is - simple and fabulous - I know it may feel like too many layers at first&nbsp; but maybe work with 2. You've got a good eye because that is a really nice combo that still really reads simple to my eye - simple and interesting and comfortable!! - please post those outfits that you actually wear as well!! - I'll be waiting!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-why-i-dont-post-my-outfitsa-confession#post-1084214 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 23:59:16 +0000 Alexandra 1084214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a nice outfit!
