And hmmm... it seems that this observation for bright (pink, white) and shine is coming through in your comment. I think i have a mental direction going... thanks! :)</p> <p>Beth Ann, The sneaker from 3 would be great with 1. White pants with 6... love it (although my white jeans are a bit too tight right now, I will be biting the bullet and buying size up if they dont fit by April 1st I think) Hmmmm... so the hair. The biggest thing is I have committed to blow drying it with a round brush so it goes how it is supposed to. Takes about 3-5 minutes daily but makes a HUGE difference in how I look and feel (still no hair appt.... but getting there....) This trying a day classic and arty is fantastic. And i hope you find what direction you are about to take with your own closet frustration. It is strange how that uncomfortable with everything feeling can pop up suddenly! </p> <p>Thanks Caro :)</p> <p>Ornella, I think you are onto something about the color near my face, perhaps b/c I dont wear makeup. Thanks for the hat love &nbsp; </p> <p>Fuzzylogic, well of course the fairy princess wants all her outfits photoed just like mom. #3 was a fun casual outfit. Thanks for the vote on it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1154036 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 10:09:09 +0000 fuzzylogic 1154036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi SarahA! Loving your hip hop vibe! The proportions and colour palette in outfit is #3 fab! And who is this gorgeous fairy princess in # 7?! Too cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1154031 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 09:55:34 +0000 Ornella 1154031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not much time for detailed outfit-by-outfit&nbsp;comments&nbsp;at the moment, but what stands out for me is that you do look great with colour next to your face. The sweater in 4 has a great colour. That outfit is especially interesting to me because a) I like it as it is,&nbsp;and b) you wear the hat which makes the whole thing super funky to my eye.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1153939 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 04:05:55 +0000 Caro in Oz 1153939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to say I love your hair too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1153937 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 04:03:32 +0000 Beth Ann 1153937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sarah!&nbsp; <br />Kudos to making the winter formula fab!&nbsp; You are also rising to the challenge of dressing beautifully with a casual environment and lifestyle.&nbsp; </p> <p>1.&nbsp; Love that jacket!&nbsp; What about the sneakers in #3 with this look?</p> <p>4.&nbsp; I adore that pink on you.&nbsp; Proportions are perfection, and the hat is saucy and fun.</p> <p>5.&nbsp; Fabulous top!&nbsp; Have you tried a faux tuck with this.&nbsp; I agree that those shoes are terrific and versatile!</p> <p>6.&nbsp; I like bootcuts on you, but I think that either the cut of the leg isn't optimal to you, or the combo of the wider leg and the longer sweater is throwing it off a bit.&nbsp; What about a pointier toe shoe?&nbsp; I'd like to see the cardi with white pants.</p> <p>7.&nbsp; I think the black works with your coloring, and you must already know that I'm a sucker for purple.&nbsp; It suspect though that you'd feel "happier" in if the outfit read "arty" or "edgy."&nbsp; I think I know the look you're going for.&nbsp; Now, I love classic black, too -- Audrey Hepburn rocked this look.&nbsp; What about trying a couple of unabashedly black looks -- one arty and one unapologetically classic.&nbsp; See how you feel.&nbsp; Um.&nbsp; Now that I've typed this, I think it's high time I took my own advice!</p> <p>BTW:&nbsp; Not sure if you've gotten a hair cut recently (Lord knows I'm overdue), but your hair is looking healthy and swingy in these photos --- with a nice movement from back to front. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1153897 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 03:09:03 +0000 Jaime 1153897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pink sweater outfit is my favorite! I also love the top and shoes in #5 and the shiny jacket. And the jackets in the first and last picture. Not sure about avant garde but I am a bit unsure what that means to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1153857 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 02:16:58 +0000 Sarah A 1153857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane, yes very much seejng hiw even the stripe lightens the black on the whole. "touches of black" is a perfect term. One ive read before (when refferring to hone decor) but never really thought about for an outfit... A few touches of black versus an entirely dark outfit. Brilliant comment!</p> <p>Alaskagirl, i know you are super busy. Thanks for stopping by you are queen tunic so tunic love is a high compliment.</p> <p>Caro, i think a strong classic backbone makes sense for my lifestyle and i so appreciate the fab compliment. I think must find some new places b&amp;m and virtual to be able to inject some of the more avant garde items that tug my heartstrings. Luckily, i think a few fab pieces there will go a long ways to givibg me that creative look i want to embrace certain days. I think the shoes and jacket suggestions are fantastic starting points. As for the fit of the diagonal striped sweater, certaibly the next size down was too small but i think i am coming to realize some things xan overwhelm even in the correct size based upon coloring etc. I think i need to try it with a column if color for an accurate assessment. Thanks again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1153840 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 02:01:54 +0000 Sarah A 1153840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks each of you for the detailed comments :)</p> <p>Lisa, great idea on the shoes with the stripe sweater and white jacket. Ill be tryung that for sure ... I think you are really onto something on the head to toe dark look not quite feeling right. </p> <p>Suz, as usual you have got it nailed. The thought on the crossbody strap adding movt is a really great one. I almost never feel like myself without a xrossbody with that diagonal line. Bells ringing! The pink sweater is in one of best colors... Along with blues (turquoise, teal royal and cobalt) fuschia, sone purples "the jewel tones". I occasionally hear i can rock a bright orange (useful when it was the color of the year a couple years ago). I think BethAnn has a bit warmer coloring. I think i am more similar to Kate Midfleton. However, as a rule i seem better ib saturated not grayed colors. Which is cintradictory for a cool summer (Kate's color) not sure its mine... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1153617 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 21:17:28 +0000 Caro in Oz 1153617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Suz has it covered. The only outfit I don't think works is #6 - the jeans don't look sharp enough for your look &amp;&nbsp;the stripe jacket seems to overwhelm you&nbsp;imo but maybe it's the contrast with the jeans.&nbsp;I see a lot of modern classic in your look&nbsp;(which is fab). &nbsp;</p> <p>If you want to play with more layered look I would suggest starting with&nbsp;a really funky pair of sandals or shoes &amp; a great arty jacket. It's amazing the difference the right pair of shoes &amp; jacket&nbsp;makes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1153598 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:47:33 +0000 catgirl 1153598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz said everything I would have said. The pink sweater is fantastic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1153592 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 20:41:14 +0000 Anonymous 1153592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #1 I think it totally works.</p> <p>#2 looks great, I actually don't mind it with the&nbsp; jacket as in #3 either.</p> <p>#4 is my favourite. Just something in the proportions and the touches of black works beautifully.</p> <p>#5, I like how your shoes bookend the light reflections coming from the foil on your top. Nice proportions to my eye.</p> <p>#6, not loving the jeans like yourself. I think they would be great as a bit of a BF short for Summer.</p> <p>#7, nice and streamlined. I agree with Lisa, maybe just a slightly lighter scarf? I do think a little lightness as in the stripes on the sweater in #2 helps to lift black a little. #8 is a great example of this.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1153275 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 16:39:33 +0000 Suz 1153275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thoughts:&nbsp;</p> <p>#1: Love it. No wonder you felt great. The white lightens it up. And it's fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2. LOVE you in this sweater. Absolutely great on you. Prefer without the jacket (but understand the need to layer). And I utterly sympathize about the shrinkage. I just shrunk a cashmere sweater in the wash (cold, delicate cycle, air dry -- ARGHHHHH!!! -- will also be blocking.)</p> <p>#4. I think this looks spectacular on you. The proportions seem wonderful to my eye with the boots - and the diagonal line of your cross body gives a bit of movement to the composition. Also, love your hat. In fact, this is my favourite.&nbsp;</p> <p>#5 Foiled top is super fun, no wonder you enjoy.&nbsp;</p> <p>#6 -- I can see why this one bugged you. I also think the number of different hues of blue here may be confusing the eye. The diagonal high contrast stripes of the cardigan seem to call for a simple column of ...neutral? underneath.&nbsp;</p> <p>Re black...I am not sure. Is your complexion a bit like Beth Ann's? In the photos it sometimes seems so, but i'm never completely sure I'm seeing right. What other colours look best on you?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1153264 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 16:32:15 +0000 Lisa 1153264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-Lovely white shades in this look.<br />#2-Oh no, for the sweater.&nbsp; I had a sweater that I shrunk on the first wash and it just kept on shrinking!&nbsp; I wish you better luck with yours.<br />#4-Pretty pink shade here and the length looks good to me.&nbsp; This is my favorite outfit of this bunch because of the pink.<br />#5-Clever to mix a fun top with fun shoes here. I think those shoes would also work well with the jacket in #1 and the sweater in #2.&nbsp; Maybe even sport all 3 items together in one look?<br />#6-I like this but I think a pointy-er shoe and a white lacy top would freshen up your bootcuts.&nbsp; I'm a big bootcut fan so I'd love to see you restyle them.<br />#7-Perhaps one light item against the black would work so you can wear more of your black pieces?&nbsp; This looks like a head to toe dark look, even the scarf is dark despite being a color.<br />#8-This jacket nicely lightens up your black look, great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-more-jeans-and-sweaters-outfits#post-1153158 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 14:59:37 +0000 Sarah A 1153158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another winter WIW. Jeans and various sweaters most days. I must confess I have some linen summer tops in have been eyeing from an etsy seller and I am trying to get "my style' out here so I can ask your opinions on these tops in few months ;)</p> <p>I felt great in #1. It's a repeat although I didnt wear the jacket the first time around.</p> <p>#2-3, I was loving the sweater... then I washed it and ARGHHH shrunk 2". I will plan to block it out next wash cycle. (these pics feature the just shrunk size...)</p> <p>#4 I love this color but the chunky wool sweater is so warm it is only good for the coldest days. I am not sure about the length. Good? bad? In between?</p> <p>#5 This foiled top was one of my "im not sure ill get the CPW down b/c of the trendiness" but I have already worn it 6 times in less than a month. Probably me fav purchase as of late. So it was a good purchase in my book, even if i wear it all the time for a short period then get sick of it. Kenneth Cole&nbsp; <a href="http://www.kennethcole.com/product/index.jsp?productId=20171266" rel="nofollow">http://www.kennethcole.com/pro.....d=20171266</a> (wow now $20!)</p> <p>#6 The jeans totally arent working for me. Changed to skinnies and black boots from #4. Maybe I should cut the bootcuts off come spring?</p> <p>#7-8 Was looking for a way to bring some color besides the black near my face so added this infinity tied scarf. I liked this but ideally i would get my color i think from the pieces not the accessories. Hmmmm.... I have a lot of black. I need to consider whether it looks all that good on me? Thoughts?</p> <p>Favorites, what works and doesnt and suggestions for improvement appreciated And how does this persona fit with my desire to try those avant garde layers (<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experimenting-with-arty-layers" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....rty-layers</a>)? Sum it up to eclectic and carry on or .... ??? </p> </p>
