I can see why you think #1 felt underwhelming, I agree with the suggestions of adding some textural element to make it feel more lively. I love the pink jacket layered over the stripes--so springy and looks lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353292 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 20:42:17 +0000 Mirjana 2353292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfits. All are great on you. My favorites are #1, 7 and #11. But all are very interesting and inspirational. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353290 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 20:17:28 +0000 ChristelJ 2353290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can relate to your feeling best with some contrast, pattern or color. You look fab in all these, but I'm partial to 7, 8, 9-11. Your jackets are especially great! I have a fondness for jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353267 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 16:10:19 +0000 The Cat 2353267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#7 looks chic and charming. Not dated at all. My favourite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353266 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 15:40:02 +0000 Roberta 2353266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #7, #9, and #11. That dark wash, raw Edge denim top is perfection. I also like the contrast of the light and the dark denim together, but I do slightly prefer the Moto with the dark denim.</p> <p>Honestly, I really like outfit #1 for ME, but I can see that it would not be for everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353260 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 14:51:00 +0000 Angie 2353260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fascinating feelings and thoughts, <b></b><b>AJ.</b>&nbsp;You look KILLER fab, full stop :)&nbsp;</p> <p>My favourite is #7. It's on trend to boot. Wide crops + Denim on Denim!&nbsp; Fab sleeve scrunch on the jacket! Swap out the necklace for something more to your taste next time. Wear our taupe patent boots with the look, and a belt to match.</p> <p>#9 - #11 are my next faves! I love you in wide crops! Elegant! Especially with your VERY pretty cascading hair.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like <b>Suz's</b> and&nbsp;<b>Brooklyn's</b>&nbsp;thoughts on #1.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3 - Pretty and fabulous!&nbsp;</p> <p>#6 - On trend loose layers! Not sloppy, and rocking it :)</p> <p>#8 - fun pattern mixing!&nbsp;</p> <p>Please carry on :)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353252 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 14:04:06 +0000 Anonymous 2353252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #7 and #11 best on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353250 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 13:45:53 +0000 Dee 2353250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always interesting hearing your take on these outfits too, I myself have trouble doing quiet columns and always feel a need to “jazz” an outfit up a bit more with some pattern.</p> <p>&nbsp;Outfit #1 does look good, but perhaps switching to a pendant necklace would add some vertical length to the shine you wanted. I think you might be right about the colour of the shoes in outfit #6, they do break up the line of your leg and perhaps contribute to &nbsp;feeling a bit “sloppy”. Love all your other outfits, #7 isn’t dated to my eye, it looks fab. 9 and 11 are great tailored fits, and wonderful proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353246 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 13:26:26 +0000 Anonymous 2353246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are the first and last outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353240 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 12:44:52 +0000 Helena 2353240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these ... Great takes on the formula. I agree with Jaime's comment that 7 was my fave I think! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353237 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 11:06:33 +0000 Brooklyn 2353237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last outfit is perfection!</p> <p>With the first outfit, I wonder if the simplicity or casualness of the sweater is the problem. If you were to wear, say, a cable or open knit sweater in the same colour, maybe it would feel better. Or maybe a stronger necklace. I think the outfit lacks a statement piece, IYKWIM.</p> <p>Love the layering in 2 and 6.</p> <p>Love 8. What’s not to love about camo.</p> <p>7 looks fine to me but I often feel a bit off when I wear a necklace and belt together. It can make things a bit busy. Maybe that’s the issue?</p> <p>Thanks for posting </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353236 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 10:39:17 +0000 Sisi 2353236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! My favourites are # 2 (i like the color combo and the funny jacket), # 7 (i like the juxtaposition short fitted jacket/wide pants) and # 9 ( the t-shirt fits you very well and the addition of the jacket makes the outfit chic!).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353233 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 10:01:52 +0000 Olive Green 2353233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice wardrobe, &nbsp;and colour and contrast looks great on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353232 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 09:54:46 +0000 Jaime 2353232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, interesting you think #7 is dated. It and #3 are my favorite, and I think #1 is great too. Well you look fab in every one honestly. Great to see you post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353231 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 09:22:20 +0000 harmonica 2353231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #8 and 9-11! The denim on denim look in 9-11 is fantastic, great proportions and interesting with the raw hems. Where did you get the top? Cute earrings too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353230 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 07:53:05 +0000 Star (Lise) 2353230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh these are all superb outfits!&nbsp; My personal favourites are 2 and 7.&nbsp; With regard to your question I prefer to wear a bomber jacket with a more fitted top, not a button down.&nbsp; There is nothing wrong at all with that outfit but I get what you feeling.&nbsp; I feel like it is too much masculine on masculine on me, I like a to have a balance of masculine and feminine in one outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353226 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 07:19:45 +0000 Bijou 2353226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am similar in that quiet clothing just does not feel like me, as much as I admire it on others. You really shine when wearing statement items - #11 is superb. I am all for DYOT and having fun with fashion, the coffee cup earrings are delightful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353224 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 06:19:52 +0000 slim cat 2353224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the contrast and fun details ( jewelry is fun in my book ). Love #2, #6-7, #9- 11 ( my favorite and somewhat close to what I wear to work now - wide leg jeans, dark top/graphic tee and off white moto jacket ). <br />Monochromatic looks are somewhat less my "thing" since my 5'4" and gamine shape do better with separates with contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353220 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 05:21:39 +0000 Suz 2353220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so interesting, <b>AJ</b>, and it just goes to show how personal style is! I can understand <b>VioletMyra's</b> love for #1, it is casually elegant on you and you wear it well. But I understand even better your own feeling that it's not "you" and not really an "outfit." That's how I tend to feel in solid columns of colour (on <b>myself --&nbsp;</b>I enjoy them on others!) and I would be itching to add some pattern or textural interest as well, as per your second outfit. I mean...I say that, and yet I have worn "white out" lots of times and enjoyed that...but usually there is some accessory or textural element or graphic detail that makes it feel more "me" somehow.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can see why you enjoyed #3 -- and I love the inventive layering in #5/6. I don't think it looks sloppy at all. It seems quite intentional. <b>LOVE</b> 9-11 -- no wonder you were happy in that!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353218 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 02:53:12 +0000 VioletMyra 2353218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm drawn to ensemble #1; I like the elegance of it. Would you like it more if you wore a scarf in browns, rusts and creams rather than the current necklace? Best wishes to all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353217 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 02:19:05 +0000 Indigoprint 2353217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Favs are #3 and 7 although they are all good. To me your coloring shines with contrast So have fun with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-i-will-not-go-quietly#post-2353216 Tue, 20 Feb 2024 01:36:33 +0000 AJ 2353216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's post on quiet columns reminded me that there were some outfits I wanted to post.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>1) I keep trying a monochromatic look, but it makes me feel blah even though I like the look on others.&nbsp; I thought the necklace would add some shine to liven it up, but I still was not enjoying this outfit.</p> <p>2) My cold winters are short, so I was trying to rotate through my toppers.&nbsp; Just the addition of a pattern to an otherwise sedate color combo makes me happy!&nbsp;</p> <p>3 &amp; 4) The bit of color in the pink jacket against the grey pinstripe button down and the medium wash jeans is nothing fancy, but I'm drawn to the contrast.&nbsp; Also the little coffee cup earrings makes me smile.</p> <p>5 &amp; 6) I really liked the striped button down layered with the floral bomber, but do you think the length of the shirt makes the whole outfit appear sloppy? Or could it be the contrasting sneakers that make the outfit seem off?</p> <p>7) In the mirror, this outfit seemed fine, but looking at this photo, it looks a bit dated.&nbsp; Maybe the belt? Style of necklace?&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>8) This one is pretty chatty!&nbsp; Even though I am an introvert, I apparently like my outfits to do all the talking, because this one made me very happy.&nbsp; The camo pants have 2 shades of green, grey, and black.&nbsp; The sneakers bookend the flowers.&nbsp; I was also having a good curly hair day and that always lifts my mood.&nbsp; :)</p> <p>9 - 11) I saved the best column for last because this was a whispering column, but I suppose the tailored fit and the little details with the light lilac moto, earrings, and raw edges of the top just all aligned wonderfully.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>All feedback appreciated.&nbsp; Thanks for stopping by.&nbsp; : ) </p>
