I particularly like the first outfit. The fluid fit of that checked shirt is fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mixed-neutrals#post-1318255 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 23:39:07 +0000 amiable 1318255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rachy - I'm hoping to get a post in on the current state of my closet tonight </p> <p></p> <p>The short answer though is that even adding this belt and shoes, I've worn less (I think) than 15 items for about 2.5 weeks now, and am quite happy with them :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mixed-neutrals#post-1318247 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 23:31:41 +0000 rachylou 1318247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are so good!</p> <p>I'm curious as to the size of your closet now, and much 'shopping' you've been doing. My *thrift store* was all the way across town - Mum's Bargain Basement, hehe. And I tell you, yes. Yes, I got in the car and went all that way to get things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mixed-neutrals#post-1317838 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:39:21 +0000 amiable 1317838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly Sveta - It went in the mending bin, to see if I can stabilize the neck with some clear elastic or something similar. &nbsp;If not, it goes. &nbsp;I have other, less fussy options.</p> <p>I find it humorous that as the forum is enjoying bumper crops of knits, I'm embracing wovens :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mixed-neutrals#post-1317827 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:30:52 +0000 Sveta 1317827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, one of those items which is "almost right"...maybe it should be a candidate for the next purge? I also get annoyed with necklines which slip off my shoulders... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mixed-neutrals#post-1317821 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:22:26 +0000 amiable 1317821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta - I think it's this particular knit top - it's drapey (which I love), but it makes it shift all over, fall off my shoulder and things like that. &nbsp;I'm always pushing back or pulling forward the neckline, and it was just too high maintenance yesterday </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mixed-neutrals#post-1317817 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:12:45 +0000 Sveta 1317817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, you do look young - in this outfit or in others! :-)<br />Love #1! It looks good with black belt and sandals but try it with cognac as well. As for the suggestions&nbsp; - I would roll the jeans once more to get a more fitted fit on the leg and more flattering length with the flats.<br />It is interesting that you think this knit top is fussier that your button down shirt...usually people think the opposite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mixed-neutrals#post-1317816 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:12:44 +0000 Tanya 1317816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All are great, but I are particularly like the last outfit. Those are awesome cognac sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mixed-neutrals#post-1317814 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:05:17 +0000 Angie_T 1317814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these outfits but #1 is my favorite.&nbsp; Crisp and sharp!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mixed-neutrals#post-1317810 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:00:59 +0000 amiable 1317810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was really multitasking in #2 - I set the timer, and the phone rang, so I just answered it :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mixed-neutrals#post-1317809 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 15:59:31 +0000 Sara L. 1317809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three&nbsp;of these outfits.&nbsp; I think you've really hit a groove with your style.&nbsp; I agree that cognac would look good with #1, but I like it as is. Great cognac sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mixed-neutrals#post-1317808 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 15:59:18 +0000 abc 1317808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't pick a fave, they are all great. &nbsp;Are you really on the phone in #2 or are you just posing? &nbsp;Bc you look JUST like my nearly 3-yr-old when she gets my phone and starts pretending, haha (not meant as an insult at all, I think you know by now)</p> <p>And I would LOVE to get a comment about looking in my 20s! &nbsp;Take that compliment all day long </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mixed-neutrals#post-1317805 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 15:56:24 +0000 amiable 1317805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm learning lots with my minimal closet experiment. &nbsp;But more on that in a separate post (when I have more than two minutes to write the post).</p> <p>Here's two outfits inspired by this blog post. &nbsp;I brought up cognac sandals and belt, and really love the way they look with my blue/white and black neutrals.</p> <p>I'd have worn them with both outfits, but my feet absolutely refused to wear these sandals two days in a row.</p> <p>#1 newly retrieved from basement 'thrift shop' gingham check with white boyfriend jeans - black belt and shoes. &nbsp;I would have really liked the cognac with this, I think, and will wear it that way soon - on a day I don't have to spend on my feet.<br />#2 what I almost wore, but ended up with the gingham check, which was a less fussy top.</p> <p>#3-4 Gray-blue top, black shorts, cognac belt and sandals, and dark silver earrings for four neutrals in an outfits. &nbsp;I was told that I looked "in my twenties" in this one. &nbsp;I think it was a compliment :)</p> <p>Comments? &nbsp;Suggestions for improvement?</p>
