I particularly like 1, 7 and 8. Would it be worth trying to nip a waist in the jacket in 2 - maybe a bit of elastic on the sides? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-2-weeks-closet-re-org-update#post-1041267 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 17:00:31 +0000 Sarah A 1041267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Beth Ann, you totally get my goals and challenges I did try closing and belting the jacket per your suggestion... you can definately physically do it but I am not sure it works. I htink I will try it like that a day and if not... scissors timeand a afternoon sewing myself a new clutch! I am glad you dont think the waxed skinnies are too out there, I think the camera angle is at fault in the jacket dept b/c the seams are just about on my shoulder bones (maybe 1/4 outside) so it is just barely oversized. Perhaps the contrast with the super more fitted than I usually wear pant also comes into play but I must post more proper pictures. Thank over and over for the progress kudos. Sometimes it is hard to see progress when it is a slow process and I really appreciate the feedback! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-2-weeks-closet-re-org-update#post-1040517 Sat, 28 Sep 2013 01:19:56 +0000 Beth Ann 1040517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sarah!</p> <p>Just off the top:&nbsp; 1, 4 and 7 are my favorites!&nbsp; Wonderful proportions!</p> <p>I think the jacket in #2 could benefit from either more structure or more drape.&nbsp; Is it soft enough to close and belt on the outside?</p> <p>I like the jeans in #4 and think they'd be great with boots.&nbsp; I suspect your camera angle is much like mine --- I can't place my camera at chest height and get my whole body in the shot, so my camera is at, um, crotch height, and I think that affects the proportions you're seeing a bit.</p> <p>I like the idea of the shirt in #10 with skirts, Leiths or the fluid fit trousers Angie was showing in her post.<br />Let the waxed skinnies be free!&nbsp; They're not as "out there" as you think. I actually think the jacket is a little overwhelming on you -- perhaps a little large?</p> <p>You have some beautiful items, perfect for your lifestyle and modern, but not too edgy for your smaller community.&nbsp; You should feel terrific about the progress you made in your personal style.&nbsp; Kudos to you!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-2-weeks-closet-re-org-update#post-1040468 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 23:52:57 +0000 Sarah A 1040468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Ceit! You have done a good job of identifying the best here DD is very into wanting pic of here outfits too ... LOL</p> <p>Kellygirl, I so appreciate you rewriting your thoughts after they were lost. I know that is frustrating! I htink you have made a great observation about the jacket in 2. it isnt as structured or as flowing kind-of an odd middle ground. Shirt in #10 with a skirt. Now thats an idea... I can also re adjust the hem to sit longer (just need to rip out a few stitches i made and re do them). The sleeves dont scrunch well on their own, maybe I can try some of the "tricks" around here. #11 I think the waxed skinnies might need more closet playtime for toppers, i like the goal of "softening" thats a good mental image to work on there.</p> <p>Caro, yes, tweaking Thats why I am here! #10, maybe the Leiths? or I have a black pencil skirt with potential. I have no booties currently, but on my fall list. I really appreciate the vote on the jacket in 12. I have been struggling with styling it. Thank for you taking the time to give your suggestions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-2-weeks-closet-re-org-update#post-1040449 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 22:53:50 +0000 Caro in Oz 1040449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1,5 &amp;7. Some of the others need tweaking imo.&nbsp;<br />#10 the top could work&nbsp;with a looser pant or a straight&nbsp;skirt<br />#11 - I like to see it with a bootie the shoes look a little light-weight for the jacket imo.<br />#12 I like the shape of the jacket on you but don't think it is at its best&nbsp;with this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-2-weeks-closet-re-org-update#post-1040383 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 20:52:46 +0000 kellygirl 1040383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, I just lost my post. I love the apple picking outfit. The top and shoes are perfect. So glad that you were comfortable! I like the jacket in 2 but it might be a little boxy--it seems your other jackets are drapier or more structured than this one. Great jeans in 4 and awesome copy cat. Love the tonal outfit of 7 with the rolled jeans and oxfords. SO fab. 8/9 are awesome. I think the top in 10 would look better with some forearm showing. Can you try that top with a pencil skirt? Love the waxed skinnies and I would try them with a less "tough" looking topper. I think it would soften the look so you can wear it casually. Love the dress in 12. Not sure whether the topper works with it though. &nbsp;Just my 2 cents.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-2-weeks-closet-re-org-update#post-1040359 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 20:31:46 +0000 Anonymous 1040359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1, 5 and 7! You look great. Your daughter is so cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-last-2-weeks-closet-re-org-update#post-1040350 Fri, 27 Sep 2013 20:24:26 +0000 Sarah A 1040350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I wanted to do a little follow up about how the closet organization by outfit has been working and get a bit more objective look at how the outfits did or didnt work. </p> <p>As for the closet by outfit business... worked great IF i wanted to wear a pre-planned outfit. I didnt feel like it everyday and had a hard time finding stuff after moving it all out of place for the mood dressing days. 4, 5 (6 inspiration),10, 11 and 12 were the preplanned outfits. Non of my preplanned skirt outfits were worn. Interesting....</p> <p>Few notes<br />1. to go apple picking at the orchard, was overdress compared to the crowd but comfortable<br />2-3. took of the jacket and felt better. I seem to take off this jacket more than i put it on. Does it fit funny? Look dated? Or just too much animal print, maybe repurpose material into a clutch? <br />4. no shoes b/c worn with rainboots. Are these jeans good on me? I like in the mirror but question them in photos...<br />5-6. unoriginal j crew look. but i love a jcrew copycat!<br />7. i really like how this one looks, but the pants waistband has gotten tight and is binding though. arrgghhh.<br />8. b/c i wanted to wear my new to me Leiths from mtgirl.<br />9. sweater, yay! jeans and t, nay! fit feels dated on the layering t.<br />10. I just dont know about this crossover top? thoughts?<br />11. tryng to play down the waxed skinnies, i feel conspicous in them during the daytime. maybe they are date night only pants.<br />12. i liked this better in the mirror</p> <p>Favorites, and suggestions appreciated. <br />Thanks for reading. All feedback much appreciated :)&nbsp; </p> <p> </p>
