Dear me, but I do have such a weakness for striped sweaters as this post evidences!</p> <p>Beth Ann, those well-fitting piece really are the key to making things look purposeful in a very simple casual outfit; the less pieces you have the stronger the statement each piece makes! I have found it is definitely worth having a few key casual pieces that I spent more time hunting down 10s for, you know?</p> <p>Denise, I have you to thank for the silhouette in #5! You are the sole reason this gray cardigan still has a place in my wardrobe, so thanks :D</p> <p>Kelly, thanks! As someone who generally bats for Team Neutrals, I do really enjoy a big swathe of bright color ;)</p> <p>Angie, aw thank you, I do have fun with my posing hehe! Your comment reminded me of the cute little kissy face poses you modeled for us at Starbucks when we were chatting about posing at the photo meetup ^^</p> <p>Sara, how odd! Maybe the smokey flavor is something your MIL just associates with ham? Smoking is my favorite turkey preparation for sure, they just come out soooo tender and juicy. I am glad yours turned out well, too!</p> <p>Tina, highfive fellow Team Pants member! I definitely have a more formulaic weekend look, it really makes things easier for me. Especially in winter/spring since it's always raining! Black jeans are super versatile, an easy way to add some rocknroll to a boho look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-841016 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:05:16 +0000 Tina.b 841016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, these are all very inspiring to me as I'm definitely a pants girl. Everything is a riff on a similar formula, but you've compiled a lot of different looks. The plaid paints are just fantastic, you wear those so well. Very bold, but still versatile, love that. And the black pants/jeans, I struggle wearing those but you've really made them shine. Especially love the pairing with the brown boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-841012 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 16:03:37 +0000 Sara L. 841012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these outfits! I have trouble with my casual outfits and these are great inspirations for simple, casual, yet stylish weekend outfits. </p> <p>We smoked our turkey last year and my mother-in-law told me it tasted like ham. What!? I loved it though, especially since it freed up the oven for the side dishes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840999 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:54:35 +0000 Angie 840999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 and #10 are my best! Must be those checked pants :). You are very cute when you pose! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840995 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 15:53:06 +0000 Sarah A 840995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving seeing the casual persona and the work persona. It is soooo true pulled together casual depends more that i ever previously realized in the fit. I will be coming back for more inspiration. And love those gold flats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840874 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 14:22:11 +0000 kellygirl 840874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, love them all. I, too, really admire a well fitting, interesting, simple casual ensemble! It's what I strive for every day. You use color so well too--I'm taking notes. I can't pick a fave although I love the neutrals in 2 and how you use the long cardigan as a tunic in 5--so clever Fab outfits, keep them coming please! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840774 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 12:05:11 +0000 Atlantia 840774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your casual style. All the striped sweaters, the great shapes, the pretty shoes....simple is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840712 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 07:12:30 +0000 CocoLion 840712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those red plaid pants totally steal the show. They are stars in your wardrobe, they fit you and your style perfectly and both of your outfits using them look easy and casual yet unexpected. I also love the way the straight leg jeans look in #9. And the proportions in #5 are so flattering. The fitted sweater is longer than most toppers I wear and the boots aren't quite tall boots; everything comes together beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840707 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 06:54:31 +0000 Ingunn 840707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! I love your style, Aida. Simple casual, maybe, but with every detail under control. My favorites are #6, #7 and #8. Love that trench - and your striped sweaters! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840696 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 06:29:47 +0000 AJ 840696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun to see your wonderful casual looks! I really like 1,5, and 7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840688 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 06:14:12 +0000 Kiwichik 840688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your casual persona. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840628 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 04:37:15 +0000 sarah 840628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to see others' casual outfits, since I never know what to wear on the weekends. My faves here are 1 and 8 - I'm loving the simplicity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840609 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 04:26:11 +0000 Beth Ann 840609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm saving this post for spring, Aida. I bat for team dressy and have difficulty mastering truly casual, but put together casual looks -- the kind that are intentional and thought out, but look completely natural. You are a master at this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840532 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 03:29:14 +0000 catgirl 840532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All Aida-fab, but THE PLAID PANTS ARE KILLING ME. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840487 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:48:09 +0000 Karie 840487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red plaid pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840485 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:44:06 +0000 Aida 840485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the lovely comments ladies! PS: for the foodies here's smoking and smoked turkey in action, mmmmm!</p> <p>Rae, both good thoughts! I purged all brown from my wardrobe last year, except for leather, camel, and taupe pieces. I too am loving how white seems to un-earth them. Regarding the trench, I love my black one and all... but I desperately want a colorful one too. Too much black is sad. I am dearly hoping to add something BRIGHT or printed this year!!</p> <p>Suz, yes! It did take me some time to realize that I needed to spend money AND time on very casual items (any old $5 tee just doesn't cut it), but I am happy that I've come around to it.</p> <p>Shevia, I am so and totally on team pullover sweater! They are my favorite type of top, hands down, year-round These gold slipper flats (<a href="http://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/women/shoes/calabash_loafer-ffw4310p.html?parent_category_rn=331097&amp;departmentCategoryId=331097&amp;N=0&amp;Ns=p_wsc6%7C0%7C%7Cp_weight%7C0&amp;pn=c&amp;cm_vc=331151&amp;rec=4&amp;imagePath=FFW4310559">by Fossil, found here</a>) were a gift from my sister to use come spring, but I've been trying to sneak in some wears prior to that to help break them in. They are super comfy! I don't know what it is with me and loafer-type shoes, since normally I am not into masculine shoes but sure seem to be into this type! I am VERY particular about them for myself, making sure that they are sleeeeek and not even a little bit chunky. I'm glad my perseverance with them is paying off!</p> <p>Mona, yep all of my long cardigans have also been passed along. But this gray one keeps managing to make the cut, mainly because I like to wear it as a tunic. Do post yours, we can help you come up with styling ideas or determine whether it deserves a place in your fab wardrobe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840453 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:11:32 +0000 Adelfa 840453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You completely rock those red plaid pants!!! It's fun for me to see your style (as someone newly participating in the forum). What a great set of looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840437 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:03:53 +0000 Mona 840437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in total awe of your style. The sweater in #1 and 8 is perfect for you in every way. I was just on your blog and saw the grey cardi in #5 worn with flared jeans and black button-down which gives me hope for my one and only long cardigan. ( I was thinking about donating it as I can't style it in any way). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840414 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:52:28 +0000 Jaime 840414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit posts! Ok, just a few first reactions before I look more carefully. I notice your gold (?) loafer style shoes in a few posts and love them on you. I also love your black loafers, leading to the question: why do I think you look so great in loafers? I love your fallback outfit #9. Great color sweater and great fitting clothes makes simple look so stylish on you. You are a real sweater girl Aida! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840408 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:49:07 +0000 Suz 840408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great collection of striped sweaters you have! I love seeing these because this is more or less my work-at-home uniform. I agree that great fit is absolutely key to this type of simple casual outfit. If stuff doesn't fit well, you'll never feel fab. I especially love #1 and # 7! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840400 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:43:33 +0000 Caro in Oz 840400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love looking at your outfits:) #6 is just so fab - perfect casual chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840379 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:21:08 +0000 Anonymous 840379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you are posting outfits again -- I love seeing your creations and how well thought out they are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840378 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:20:04 +0000 rae 840378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I love the puffy white jacket with chocolate boots. The brown brings an earthiness to the white, and the white modernizes the brown. You also have me wondering why I wanted a non-black trench... your black one looks so awesome! Sounds like you had a busy and social holiday season - mmm... smoked turkey... *faints* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840368 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:13:44 +0000 Tanya 840368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful set of outfits Aida! I adore those plaid pants, so much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840365 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:11:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 840365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every single one of these outfits is a winner Aida! You have such a distinctive style - and I absolutely mean that in the very best way!</p> <p>And oh my...that's A LOT of turkey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-casual-weekend-outfits#post-840327 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:23:25 +0000 Aida 840327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I said in my <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-backlog-november-work-outfits">November work outfits post</a>, I've been focusing weekend outfits on my boho/rugged/natural style leanings. In addition, I have also been trying to really simplify them; partially because it means less thought and therefore less stress when hubby is waiting on me to get dressed (I'm super slow &gt;&lt;), and partially because aforementioned hubby prefers very simple outfits. I found it incredibly helpful during a very stressful month! Also noticed that with this system I tend to skip jewelry on weekends, except for my usual wedding ring/watch combo. These types of very simple outfits really show how important it is to have Well Fitting Clothing in one's wardrobe, regardless of dressiness level; simple outfits with well fitting pieces can make a statement, too.</p> <p>Here are my casual weekend outfits from November.<br /> #1 : 11.10<br /> #2 : 11.11<br /> #3 : 11.14<br /> #4-10 : 11.18-24</p> <p>These outfits were all worn, at the least, to run errands and/or eat a casual meal. In brief: #1 was also worn out clothes shopping with my sis. #2 for friends over to watch football, and a not-so-successful attempt to roll my straights (but no worries ladies, I have proper BF-type jeans to do that with now!). #3 to watch a screening of this season's Warren Miller film. #4 to a Sounder's (soccer) playoff game. #5 you can tell hubby took these photos #6 almost all black, with a little bit of gray and brown; also a rare indoor hat! #7 leo pumps spice up even the simplest outfits. #8 to have both families over for Thanksgiving dinner. #9 my default "super fast winter outfit, subcategory: dry day": sweater + flared jeans + pumps. #10 to have friends over for Friendsgiving dinner; fun side note: between the two thanksgivingses we smoked 60lbs of turkey ^^</p> <p>Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome! </p>
