These outfits look perfectly comfortable, while still feeling luxe.

It is such an achievement when you find what makes you at peace and happy with the life you live vs the one you dream.<br /> The two outfits are creative and appealing. The silver sneakers are awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762365 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 13:12:38 +0000 RobinF 1762365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these!

It is fun to have someone in a parallel weather zone too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762284 Thu, 22 Dec 2016 01:33:01 +0000 Maneera 1762284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! </p> <p>El Cee - I'm a huge fan of ponte leggings. I find them cozier &amp; confier than jeans, plus now you can easily wear them everywhere without looking sloppy, thanks to the rise of Athleisure ;)</p> <p>Thank you so much, Joy. You're very very kind. I don't hand wash anything. All my clothes go into the washing machine.</p> <p>I would like to clarify something here. I LOVE shopping. It's Iike a hobby. As a result, i get bored of seeing the same things in the closet over &amp; over, and I want to replace things seasonally. By choosing pocket friendly options,<br /> 1) I get variety every season<br /> 2) Can shop again next season as these things wear out<br /> 3) My dressing preferences change quickly too. So inexpensive pieces means I can easily move on<br /> 4) My clothes get damaged too. Emma has made numerous holes in numerous leggings &amp; sweaters, sometimes food stains ruin the clothes, and often it's just wear &amp; tear. Even in winter, I wash what I wear everyday. That's because clothes get really dirty in India....too much dust &amp; dirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762245 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 23:13:28 +0000 Anonymous 1762245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are wise as well as beautiful. I like mid range pieces like Kut and NYDJ for this that are easy to care for and sturdy but not too precious. Do you wash your sweaters in the machine or by hand? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762238 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 22:51:26 +0000 Bennett 1762238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm swooning over your silver slip-ons!!!!!!! </p> <p>I'm also noting how the volume and generosity of the scarf really kick this look up a notch. Definitely would turn my head! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762191 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 20:07:57 +0000 Angie 1762191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WELL DONE. Good job shopping for your lifestyle, Manny. I'm proud of you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love you in #1. The silver sneaks and bag brighten the outfit beautifully.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762188 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 20:00:12 +0000 Mirjana 1762188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Maneera for the scarf I will see at H&amp;M, yes I like one too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762186 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 19:53:27 +0000 Bonnie 1762186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very inspiring. My lifestyle is very similar and I am learning a lot from this post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762184 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 19:36:24 +0000 El Cee 1762184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very stylish. Kudos to you on your smart purchasing strategy! You have some fabulous pieces that look great and work for your lifestyle. Love your silver slip-on sneakers -- a great touch to your outfit. &nbsp;I, too, am trying to be much more practical in my clothing choices. I work (mostly) from home, and a day or two out of the house in a busy environment where "fussy" or "precious" clothing would not be advisable. My most recent purchase included four pairs of heavy-duty ponte knit pants/leggings which will be workhorses in my winter wardrobe.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762176 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 19:02:59 +0000 Anonymous 1762176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits look great--comfortable, stylish, and versatile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762150 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 17:12:36 +0000 jill58 1762150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera, this is a lesson that I have been trying hard to learn--fewer dressy clothes--more clothes for my actual current life. Ponte leggings are a great idea. You look lovely and those metallic sneakers really add polish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762133 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 16:42:36 +0000 Lynn 1762133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Manerra- you look great. Thank you for detailing your process for building a wardrobe that works for you. Having recently retired I now need to adjust my wardrobe to more at home wear. I am finding it hard to balance comfort and still feeling stylish. You do it so very well. I am going to go back and look at more of your WIW's so I can learn from you. Thanks again.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762129 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 16:12:22 +0000 rachylou 1762129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! You look great. Grey and silver is a nice combo I realize now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762128 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 16:09:02 +0000 Maneera 1762128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz....I'm very flattered! I do love how organically my style has evolved as well. You're right - I still love the dressy classic style, and I get to sport a few outfits once in a while. However, since I do love my casual 'everyday wear' capsule now, I don't miss the more 'dressier' outfits anymore. Leggings and ponte pants are what I need everyday, so I'm quite happy with the way I sport them. I feel quite 'me' in these outfits </p> <p>Jaileen - I know just what you mean! As a dog owner, living with dog hair on your couch, bed &amp; clothes is a reality...so I abstain from clothes that feel 'too precious'. That's another point I forgot to mention that I have on my list. I have a certain budget in mind when I shop for everyday clothes because I know they will have to endure regular washing. It's one reason I like brands like H&amp;M, Dorothy Perkins and Zara.....they don't pinch the pocket. So I look for basics with some nice detailing/color. I am not looking for amazing quality; I'm looking for good variety and nice detailing that keeps my everyday clothes from looking too boring. </p> <p>Tanya - you're absolutely right. I don't like bright colors but I think I'm doing pretty good with my color choices these days :)</p> <p>Thanks a lot, Aquamarine. I'm a TRUE leggings fan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762123 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 15:35:30 +0000 Suz 1762123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, you look amazing! I am so thrilled to see where your style has gone. I know you love the dressy classic styles you wore when you joined the forum, and wow did you look great in those, also! (And I hope you still get opportunities to wear them sometimes.) Yet here is the wardrobe and the style that actually works with your life and allows you to look amazing even while walking the dogs or curled on the couch. You're an inspiration to me -- I like the criteria you laid out for yourself. They are very specific. This is helpful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762116 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 15:17:18 +0000 JAileen 1762116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your criteria including, "should be able to do double duty for dog walks." This is my real life!</p> <p>You look fab in both outfits. The color schemes are lovely. I especially love the scarf and shoes in the first one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762077 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 12:53:28 +0000 Tanya 1762077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is amazing how much better one dresses and feels once we start shopping for our real vs. imaginary lives, isn't it?&nbsp; Both outfits look comfy and cozy, yet&nbsp; are super stylish.&nbsp; love the color palettes, too.&nbsp; I am truly impressed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762070 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 12:33:22 +0000 Aquamarine 1762070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are simple yet stylish and very flattering on you. The fact that they are comfy too is a wonderful bonus. I am always impressed by your work-at-home capsule. (Mine is shameful.) BTW, your hair looks fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762063 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 12:02:37 +0000 Maneera 1762063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sisi!!! Our temperature varies...gets warmer in the day but pretty cold early morning and late evenings. It varies between 22 deg C to 9 deg C. It's about 18 deg C right now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762048 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 10:26:34 +0000 Sisi 1762048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have done a great analysis of your actual needs!&nbsp;When you do so,&nbsp;&nbsp; your&nbsp;wardrobe starts to function better, doesn't it? This is what happened to me at least. I think we all have a tendency to buy for a fantasy life ... Thes two outfits are lovely, they look both practical and polished. I especially like the crocheted&nbsp;pullover and the&nbsp;shoes.</p> <p>Happy Solstice to you! (just curious : what is the temperature at your place?)</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-everyday-fabulous#post-1762046 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 10:10:05 +0000 Maneera 1762046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Di!
