You are not in a rut. You are striving toward perfection. Now I just have to find the philosophy that explains what I mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1077134 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 23:47:43 +0000 neatnic 1077134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look! &nbsp;Casual done in a flattering and chic way. &nbsp;The sweater hemline and unusual necklace&nbsp;add&nbsp;interest and I like how your shiny boots match&nbsp;your&nbsp;shiny hair. &nbsp;Not boring at all!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1077108 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 23:26:43 +0000 rae 1077108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I think that nagging feeling may just be the after-effect of being used to a very large and eclectic wardrobe. Now that you have really refined your look, it feels odd to not have all the variety. But I would chalk it up to growing pains or withdrawals or whatever you call it as long as YOU are not bored! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1077074 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 23:05:53 +0000 Beth Ann 1077074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the formula is working for you, and, as far as the forum goes, its good to see someone dressing with the signature style consistently.&nbsp; I admire this ability!&nbsp; That said, if you get bored, you could always designate the next day as a "vacay challenge" day. </p> <p>I find myself getting bored about 4 weeks after a seasonal change --- time to tweak the wardrobe!&nbsp; I'm just getting there right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1077068 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 23:02:24 +0000 catgirl 1077068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Ceit and everyone.&nbsp; Don't get me wrong - this outfit is a happiness factor of perfect for me, and I'm not concerned about what others think per se.&nbsp; I'm just torn between that whole formula/uniform vs. variety issue sometimes.&nbsp; In my days off, I want to wear my favorites, but I also want to play!&nbsp; Guess this is the endless conundrum of the fashion-obsessed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1077064 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 22:59:08 +0000 Anonymous 1077064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is just part of your style, not a rut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1077042 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 22:43:30 +0000 ironkurtin 1077042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, you think you're frumpy, you think you're boring. What gives? &nbsp;What impossible&nbsp;audience are you trying to please?</p> <p>Fashion editors and designers&nbsp;wear the same elements day after day. &nbsp;If they can, why shouldn't you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076997 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 21:45:06 +0000 Mo 1076997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look does undeniably work for you and I bet it feels very much like 'you'. &nbsp;I wonder the same sometimes . . . but then I also wind myself up at times&nbsp;trying to change it up just for the sake of something different. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076994 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 21:39:38 +0000 MsMaven 1076994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My word of the day is sleek--you look sleek, smooth and self-assured. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076980 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 21:18:37 +0000 Caro in Oz 1076980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What K said.

You look great, feel great -- how could that be boring?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076870 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 19:48:28 +0000 kellygirl 1076870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol! I think as long as you feel great, you will look fab and we will love seeing you. IKWYM though about a rut--I sometimes think this too but then dismiss it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076866 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 19:46:18 +0000 carambola 1076866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! And happy! I think you can't be in a rut if you're happy with your style. A rut only exists if you're bored. Otherwise, it's your signature style, as Thistle said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076865 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 19:44:37 +0000 cciele 1076865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who cares whether we are bored (which I am not, personally)! You look so happy and yourself in that outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076861 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 19:41:53 +0000 rute 1076861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The same happens to me! The important is how we feel, for my personal experience, the other don't notice that much how we dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076842 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 19:33:08 +0000 Thistle 1076842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific. Style rut&nbsp; = signature style&nbsp; </p> <p>Seriously, you look amazing, put together, and you. I wouldn;t worry about being in a rut until you feel like you are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076838 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 19:30:55 +0000 Sharon 1076838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect that having a group of outfits that you love and wear a lot is a big part of having an identifiable style. This outfit is very 'you' and I'm sure part of the reason it looks so good on you is that it gels with your style persona. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076828 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 19:19:15 +0000 donnat 1076828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great.

No ruts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076806 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 19:00:50 +0000 K. Period. 1076806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know what you mean. You wonder, "Does this really just work perfectly for me? Or am I just starting to carve an Oregon Trail size rut for myself and am totally blind to it?" I think the key is that your pieces are so modern, well fitted and not at all boring that it is a good version of repetition rather than a bad version. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076802 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 18:56:57 +0000 shemarie 1076802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No monotony, no way, no how! You know your style and it is awesome and perfectly you.&nbsp; I love the jeans, the sweater, and those boots. All of it.&nbsp; What a great casual/on-the-go look. &nbsp;It. Just. Works!!!&nbsp; Please don't change anything -&nbsp; I'm learning<i> soooo </i>much from you! (And yes, how <i>do</i> you "chop" sweaters? So cool.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076798 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 18:52:22 +0000 El Cee 1076798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh -- but monogamy is wonderful if the love is still strong! I say, don't change a thing. Your style is really working for you -- so no rut here. You look great. I admire your sweater chopping skills. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076795 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 18:49:28 +0000 Tanya 1076795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you look amazing and like yourself.&nbsp; Doesn't get much better than that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-monogamy-vs-monotony#post-1076791 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 18:46:11 +0000 catgirl 1076791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes no matter how much I love an outfit, I can't help wondering if I'm stuck in a style or color rut.&nbsp; I'm not bored by any means, but honestly, I wonder if everyone else is!</p> <p>COH skinnies (love these so much), old UWP sweater (chopped this one too!), Ugg booties, wolverine skull necklace.&nbsp; Off to lunch and a movie. </p>
