Yes having your clothing in pictures, is somewhat more perceptible, than only staring at your closet in the morning </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-one-on-ylf#post-1294037 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 14:56:35 +0000 Angie 1294037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous first WIW.

As I read old Angie post about choosing eyewear, I found myself nodding on every sentence - all learned by trial and error.</p> <p>Cerinda I usually carry that bag cross body to have empty hands, but ir has the option of removing the strap, and then it becomes a clutch.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-one-on-ylf#post-1293571 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 00:50:26 +0000 Cerinda 1293571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great first time WIW!

You look great in jeans! I like your glasses too. Have you tried a semi-tuck with your fluid shirt in #3? Wonderful use of the scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-one-on-ylf#post-1293469 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 22:55:32 +0000 Caro in Oz 1293469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome!

You look great! I love your skinnies and scarves. Suz is right, there's a Euro-flair about you. I have similar specs to yours, so of course I like those too!

You have a quiet drama and a European flair to your style! You wear your big scarf so well. And I love your haircut! (Mine is similar, so I <i>would </i>say that...but it suits you!)&nbsp;</p> <p>Being picky is a good thing. It has taken me a couple of years of what sometimes seems like crazy purchasing to build a closet that works for me, and I'm only beginning to relax a bit with it all now.&nbsp;</p> <p>You've come to a great place!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-one-on-ylf#post-1293318 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 20:12:55 +0000 rachylou 1293318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on first WIW Very neat and tidy and cute! Sorta Hipster Classic. You'd be a natural in my hood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-first-one-on-ylf#post-1293305 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 20:01:12 +0000 Joana 1293305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I apologize for poor photo quality, phone camera plus rainy days equals poor photos :(<br />These are my two outfits for work, one of them slightly tweaked for evening out. They are not by no means ideal, it is the place from where I start at the moment. I purged my closet quite a lot recently, but one can not purge too much at once. So there are not only items I love, but also items that I need to survive And the process of figuring out what additions are needed, and finding them is slow. I somehow got very picky about clothing :)<br />I plan keep posting my outfits, but be prepared to see repeating items, because my closet is... well I'll call that "in the progress" :)<br />1. dark wash jeans<br />light blue striped shirt, not the trendiest cut, but works quite well<br />loose drapey cardigan, maybe too lose at the back<br />taupe lace up shoes - real workhorse, extremely comfortable<br />2. real colors and textures, and my beloved glasses<br />3-4. burgundy jeans/pants<br />fluid patterned high-low shirt, off white - love this one, and wear it a lot<br />one more drapey cardigan, dark grey<br />trenchcoat, the color is not my best, and I think lapels look dated (I mask them with scarfs) looking for replacement.<br />5-6. tweaked look, pants rolled inside to immitate cropped pants. Shirt partially tucked with a belt. Changed shoes to loafers to show some shoe cleavage :D<br />and small clutch/cross body bag.<br />at 6 you can see real colors, and a bonus little horse :D</p> <p>thank you for looking, comments and critics are really welcome.</p> <p>p.s. sorry for blurred face, but at least for a while I intend to keep it so.</p>
