Can you show us the item itself? Love the outfit here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-covid-has-impacted-my-style#post-2165933 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 17:39:01 +0000 Carla 2165933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could give lessons on how to do oversized garments in a most stylish way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-covid-has-impacted-my-style#post-2165930 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 17:03:28 +0000 LaPed 2165930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I love the idea of slips with intentionally visible hems but have never managed to find the right one. The little splash of gingham puts such a nice twist on this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-covid-has-impacted-my-style#post-2165925 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 16:38:27 +0000 Helena 2165925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-covid-has-impacted-my-style#post-2165923 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 16:30:50 +0000 slim cat 2165923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great - love the use of accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-covid-has-impacted-my-style#post-2165904 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 15:39:21 +0000 Anonymous 2165904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely on you.

And good for you for expanding your income stream.</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-covid-has-impacted-my-style#post-2165898 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 14:46:27 +0000 Murph11 2165898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I follow a several artists who pivoted and redirected their creative energy in 2020 with inspiring results. Are you wearing your own earrings here? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-covid-has-impacted-my-style#post-2165877 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 13:24:11 +0000 Ledonna N. 2165877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this fit. And the flow. I think many have used 2020 to figure our their new normal or temporary one. The half slip sounds interesting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-how-covid-has-impacted-my-style#post-2165876 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 13:20:35 +0000 Deborah 2165876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thinking of my own style has been impacted this year (in response to Angie’s blog post) in relation to COVID and the restrictions.</p> <p>I firstly realised that I should fully enjoy my wardrobe and despite not needing to dress up every day while working from home, I enjoyed putting outfits together creating new combinations using both dressy and casual pieces that kept my wardrobe on rotation during those months at home. </p> <p>Secondly, I experienced an increase in creativity that flowed through many aspects of my life. Fresh styling ideas, I started making, created a small earring collection and started working on diversifying my income stream. </p> <p>This is not to say that 2020 hasn’t been a year of great challenge ...it has. But, it’s also been a year of creativity and new ideas which I think will outwork themselves in my style this coming year. </p> <p>One project that came during this time was upcycling half slips and turning them into what I call ‘skirted slips’ to wear under dresses and skirts to add length and also create different looks. </p> <p>So today’s WIW is a simple black dress worn with one of my slips:). This one has a gingham ruffle (I am a little gingham obsessed).</p> <p>Thanks for reading and looking.<br /> xxxDeb </p>
