&nbsp;☺ &nbsp;I don’t want to go any shorter and want a cleaned up, more precision cut that moves a bit. &nbsp;I was drawn to Rosamund Pike’s recent photos and plan to share a few of those with my stylist.</div><div><br /></div><div>Missey, I really appreciate your comments and I love this navy sheath dress, too. &nbsp;My only concern is that it is a tad bit too short, even on petite me! &nbsp;I’ve even contemplated having my tailor add a navy tulle hem to it since I loved the length of Angie’s holiday dress. &nbsp;My only issue is that the hem is scalloped and I don’t want it to look like an add-on. &nbsp;So, right now, I’m enjoying it as it is. &nbsp;How lovely that you commented on my skin. &nbsp;I’ve always been concerned about that feature since I had acne as a young teen and now have the aging thing going as a woman of a certain age. &nbsp;Your comments make me very happy. &nbsp;Thank you.</div><div><br /></div><div>alaskagirl, so glad you love these blues and my hair, too. &nbsp;You are very savvy, but I knew that, because ClearlyClaire is one of my mentors, whether she wants to be or not!</div><div><br /></div><div>Ah, shevia, happy to bring you more pictures, which is my commitment in this new year. &nbsp;On my backgrounds, I’ve been experimenting with different places around the house, mostly outdoors, to set up my music stand and iPhone, and it seems being outside makes for better photos. &nbsp;We’re pretty lucky here to have mild weather throughout the year, so I’ll make use of it. &nbsp;May I also say that I adore your new thumbnail photo.</div><div><br /></div><div>deb, my sweet Seattle roommate, thank you. &nbsp;I’m only growing it to chin length, because I want an easy-maintenance hairstyle.</div><div><br /></div><div>abc, thank you for mutual “blue love” and it seems to work well for me since I wear a lot of casual denim bottoms, etc. and I have blue eyes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Transcona Shannon, Wheeeee! &nbsp;I always love hearing from you and so happy you saw my post.</div><div><br /></div><div>Debbie, thanks, my friend, and I’ll be a consistent&nbsp;contributor&nbsp;like you, along with&nbsp;posting a photo of my hair soon.</div><div><br /></div><div>goldenpig, I enjoyed your comments and I truly believe when we find clothes that feel good and feel right on us, everything just comes together, inside and out.</div><div><br /></div><div>CocoLion, I really appreciate that you loved the Christmas Eve dress, because I love it every time I wear it, and would even more so if it was a tad longer. &nbsp;It’s funny, because I shared with my sister that I wanted it longer and she looked at me like I was way off base. &nbsp;But, I still agree with myself! &nbsp;☺ &nbsp;Yes, I’m a big J. Crew fan, too.</div><div><br /></div><div>rachylou, thank you and I’m glad you like the longer hair, too.</div><div><br /></div><div>Diane, I’m grateful for your observations, since you know garments and design so well. &nbsp;Each will be repeated often. &nbsp;Thank you for the nice compliment on my skin. &nbsp;I think the “lighting” can be a very helpful friend at times. &nbsp;Happy New Year!</div><div><br /></div><div>Jjsloane, thanks and, yes,&nbsp;“fun” is part of my fashion accessory, for sure. &nbsp;I like that you mentioned polished, too, as that is an important&nbsp;style descriptor to me. &nbsp;Hmmm. &nbsp;“Polished Fun.” &nbsp;Is that possible? &nbsp;I think so! &nbsp;☺</div><div><br /></div><div>clearlyclaire, so glad you saw alaskagirl’s note, however, I think it’s because I’ve been “seeing” you and studying you so closely. &nbsp;Ha! &nbsp;Thank you for all your kind observations. &nbsp;You really got it right when you mentioned that you “find Winter dressing so much easier than Summer” and I heartily agree. &nbsp;Being on Team Giraffe, bridging the neck gap is essential. &nbsp;I’ll take your age estimation any day. &nbsp;As I said to Diane, it’s the subtle lighting; don’t get me in bright, harsh sunlight, please.</div><div><br /></div><div>harmonica, that’s so nice of you and I’ll keep wearing blue.</div><div><br /></div><div>LACeleste, thank you and I’m ecstatic that I inspired you, since you inspired me the first time I met you! &nbsp;Hope to see a photo.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-enjoying-what-i-have-and-its-a-lot-of-blue#post-1421495 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 16:13:02 +0000 LACeleste 1421495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Vicki!<br />You are so beautiful! &nbsp;I love all your looks! &nbsp;Very fresh!<br />You inspired me to try&nbsp;a yet unworn&nbsp;striped silk&nbsp;blouse with some leopard flats. &nbsp;Thank you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-enjoying-what-i-have-and-its-a-lot-of-blue#post-1421459 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 15:42:56 +0000 harmonica 1421459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous, Vicky!

I don't know how you do it, but those close-ups of you in the lace dress make you look like you're in your thirties! Wow. I love the first outfit with the Burberry scarf, too. I&nbsp;<i>love</i> your hair longer like this, and you look great in collars in scarves. I'm a fellow long-necked person and I find Winter dressing so much easier than Summer for this reason. The longer hair on your neck helps bridge this gap. &nbsp;Can't wait to see what you and your stylist come up with. All your outfits are fabulous, as usual! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-enjoying-what-i-have-and-its-a-lot-of-blue#post-1421357 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 11:20:08 +0000 Jjsloane 1421357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As always you are polished and pretty.

Where do I begin with all your fab outfits? Love, love #1 with the crisp blue/white combo, which is then softened, by the fab scarf. Ladylike and gorgeous in a fit and flare dress in #6to #9. And very relaxed and chic in cute animal flats in #10/11. What a fab happy colour the argyle sweater is. Love it with the jeans and button-down. Finally, the lace sheath is stunning. And your skin look am-a-zing in the close up. Happy New Year pretty lady! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-enjoying-what-i-have-and-its-a-lot-of-blue#post-1421339 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 08:54:51 +0000 rachylou 1421339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking smart I like your longer hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-enjoying-what-i-have-and-its-a-lot-of-blue#post-1421334 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 08:35:11 +0000 CocoLion 1421334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your Christmas Eve look is so perfectly beautiful, I don't know where to start.That dress was made for you, every thing from the cut to the color.</p> <p>And I love the navy and green outfit with the silk striped popover top. &nbsp;I remember that from a few years ago, it's stood the test of time very well. &nbsp;Go J Crew for that reason!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-enjoying-what-i-have-and-its-a-lot-of-blue#post-1421332 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 08:14:48 +0000 goldenpig 1421332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, you look stunning in blue.

I love your posts! I am loving your "wearing blues to beat the blues" for January. Great idea. You look great in blues, and I love them paired with the white. I am really liking your hair too as it grows. I have fine hair too so always need a good cut (which end up being fewer and farther between....oops). I especially love the first outfit with the navy/white/tans. Fantastic. Actually they are all fantastic. Gorgeous sheath dress too. Wow. Thanks for sharing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-enjoying-what-i-have-and-its-a-lot-of-blue#post-1421187 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 01:20:44 +0000 Suz 1421187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, you are looking amazing, and I am absolutely with you about blue -- it's my comfort colour, too! Those nude booties are just amazing with your hair and the Burberry scarf -- love absolutely everything about #!.&nbsp;</p> <p>The other outfits are equally fab, and i am so glad you have posted here.&nbsp;</p> <p>Really excited to see what happens with your hair. It's amazing it has grown so long already. You must have the fastest growing hair on the planet, or maybe that is a result of the California sunshine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-enjoying-what-i-have-and-its-a-lot-of-blue#post-1421176 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 01:07:16 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1421176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's good to see you posting, Vicki. You're one of the people I look forward to seeing with WIWs and the clean, classic looks. I like the nude boots, and I'm wonderingly if my husband is right that we shouldn't be spending so much time in New Hampshire but rather in California! I like your hair a little longer .., will be interested in what you and your stylist come up with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-enjoying-what-i-have-and-its-a-lot-of-blue#post-1421164 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 00:38:19 +0000 Vicki 1421164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With Angie's recent post on setting style goals for 2015 along with Fashion Fatigue and how to beat the January <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2015/01/05/fashion-fatigue-8-ways-to-beat-the-january-blues/">blues</a>, &nbsp;I realized I've been wearing lots of blue, which is a comforting and happy color for me.</p> <p>I also wanted to work with Angie's "#1. &nbsp;Wear Your Style" to beat fashion fatigue in January, so I'm enjoying what's in my closet with only a couple of new sweater purchases. &nbsp;Here are a few beginning with what I wore today to lunch in Laguna Beach and finishing with some snaps from&nbsp;Christmas Eve. &nbsp;One of my style goals is to get a workable haircut for my fine, flat hair as I grow it out&nbsp;and I have an appointment this Saturday and am hoping for an easy-to-manage style that looks good most days.</p> <p>I find with my clothing I&nbsp;enjoy layering due to the tendency for cool-warm-cool weather we experience throughout the day.</p> <p>YLF means so much to me and I wanted to post something early in the year to get back on track to being a regular contributor as many of you are. &nbsp;I feel like I didn't do a very good job in this area last year and I hope to be better at it now. &nbsp;</p> <p>Wishing all of you a&nbsp;Happy 2015!</p> <p>Photos 1-5: J.
