Personally I wouldn't let peeking out the pink hem under the black sweatter in nr. 2. feels like distracting a bit, but that's only me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779844 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 08:29:32 +0000 Deborah 779844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning, each and every one. The blue jacket is beautiful and such a flattering fit. Kelly I think you nail casual stylish dressing. This is what I aspire to on my days off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779731 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 02:18:32 +0000 Aida 779731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly you undersell yourself something serious!! These are all fab as usual. I'm especially fond of #1 (those pants are super and the BLUE is so good on you!) and #3 (WOW your handknit cape, it's awesome! Love the asymmetry). I hear you on second guessing what I wear when feeling under the weather, I've been like that for almost two weeks now too. You are doing a wonderful job, I'd have never ever guessed you weren't feeling 100%! And as always I just adore your boot collection </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779708 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 01:51:43 +0000 Jaime 779708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is nothing boring about these outfits to me. This is more or less how I dress and it is great to see posts with such good ideas. I love the burgundy on you - the poncho is amazing and I really like the skinnies with grey. The blue jacket is also a great color for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779704 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 01:47:17 +0000 Anonymous 779704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are really interesting, laid back looks and I love them. Some of them look like you just threw on clothes (and they magically worked together in line, hue, contrast and proportion) and not like you were up late the night before working on your *outfit* for the next day. I mean that in the best possible sense because that's kind of what I've been striving for. </p> <p>I am amazed at your knitting prowess! That poncho is so modern looking; it looks like you paid a mint for it. I love the colors you use together. And I thought the grey vest was a long sleeved sweater! That's a nice effect. You look fabuloso! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779697 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 01:27:55 +0000 Charmian 779697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off: we have similar aesthetics, so <em>please</em> keep posting because I need to borrow some of your inspiration!</p> <p>And secondly (which I alluded to in my <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nov-14-18-humour-inspired">most recent WIW</a>) I think it's really easy for us to poo-poo our personal style because it doesn't look like what other women on the internet are doing. Well, you know what? Other women on the internet don't lead the same lives that we do, either! So it's important to be comfortable with the outfits that <em>we</em> wear: with their style and with their appropriateness for our life.</p> <p>Lastly, I <em>love</em> your eye for color. It's an area I really struggle in, and you've done a smashing job of zeroing in on the shades that look amazing on you. These are very flattering, very pulled-together, and very approachable looks for you. The minimalism and approachability of #4 is something I aspire to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779602 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:32:28 +0000 Ginkgo 779602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF in all of these! I'm always happy to see casual outfits as that's my daily life also, just minus the kids. Is it an oxymoron to say that your style is "polished casual"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779578 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:13:45 +0000 Ornella 779578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Una said!</p> <p>I really enjoy your WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779574 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:10:20 +0000 Raisin 779574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of these, but #1 is my fav! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779519 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:13:41 +0000 Queen Mum 779519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I especially love 2,3 and 4. You have a wonderful casual style. I always think of you when I'm trying for that ellusive casual yet stylish look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779513 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:09:32 +0000 Mo 779513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You kill me, none of these are boring! And you *made* the poncho in #3?! You simply have your style and colors all figured out and they work and they look great. What's boring about that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779512 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:08:39 +0000 Emily 779512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good! I think Caro is right. I personally have a harder time with day to day style than special events. All of your outfits are chic and put together looking.</p> <p>I must also add some more love for the Vest in #5 - what a great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779495 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:49:29 +0000 Caro in Oz 779495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Any one can get dressed up for an event, it's how we dress day to day that speaks loudest about our style. You have a really coherent casual style - don't be so hard on yourself:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779451 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:54:00 +0000 pil 779451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, I so wish I could look as put together as you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779437 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:37:12 +0000 bj1111 779437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kelly, you are selling these outfits short. great pulled together looks for a mom on the go. strikes that perfect balance coolness and cool involved mom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779433 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:33:48 +0000 JR 779433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There isn't a single flop in here. Classic and gorgeous. And I so want your poncho... Yes, I'm checking the link. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779407 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:55:15 +0000 Suz 779407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, these are fantastic looks. I am always inspired by your casual style. You put your dollars where they count-- in well chosen footwear and fab toppers as well as great jeans!</p> <p>I especially love you in 1, 3 and 4. Just WOW!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779404 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:50:52 +0000 Parsley 779404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, I'm always thrilled to see your casual style because that's what I need the majority of the time for my lifestyle, too. Your style is NOT boring- it is casual but polished and put-together.</p> <p>I love all of your outfits. I'm so impressed that you made your fab poncho yourself! I may have to break out the knitting needles and try to copy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779396 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:32:18 +0000 kellygirl 779396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the affirmation! I’m glad that I’m coming across on the more stylish side of that fine line.<br /> @Brenda: The knit vest is from ON. It’s several years old unfortunately. I’ll be sad when it falls apart.<br /> @Una: Thanks! I feel like I’m on the other side of spectrum as Anna. I sometimes fear to post because I’m SO conservative.<br /> @Isis, Ceit and Shannon: Thank you! Glad that everyday casual has a fan base here too :)<br /> @JJ: Thank you. The pattern is from Churchmouse yarns. It’s basically a rectangle folded in half with a cowl that is picked up and knit after seaming. It’s super easy--just a bunch of stockinette stitch in dk weight yarn. Glad you like it!

I am currently making your brioche scarf in a cheery red. Thank you for sharing the link, I am enjoying the pattern so much, it's really fun to knit! But I got so excited when I saw your poncho because I have been looking for something similar for a long time. I knitted myself a poncho last year but it was far too chunky and swamped me so I gave it away. The one you made is looking very drapey and figure flattering. More details, please!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779354 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:43:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 779354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these and there is nothing boring about any of them Kelly! Your handknit poncho is divine, adore the cobalt blazer on you and those burgundy skinnies in #5 are fantastic! Hope you feel better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779352 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:41:00 +0000 Anonymous 779352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are a great example of interesting everyday style! Love those skinnies, and that grey topper in 5 is excellent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779342 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:34:03 +0000 Isis 779342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think these blend in at all--If I saw you on the street, I would totally notice and admire your style! </p> <p>I really love #4---simple, but everything fits so well, and I love the burgundy pants! I also really like #2, the peek of pink underneath the sweater is perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779339 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:30:50 +0000 catgirl 779339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, these are fantastic - please don't assume everyday wear does not interest me, because I love your style. I see a lot of inspiring color cohesiveness here. And #1 is SO flattering, as are the burgundy skinnies. You always look comfortable and stylish at once. I am in love with that knit moto sweater in your last picture! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779324 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:11:45 +0000 qfbrenda 779324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your WIWs! I'm totally coveting that gray topper in #5... where did you get that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-nothing-fancy#post-779315 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:57:48 +0000 kellygirl 779315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>or how to blend in without looking like I've totally given up on fashion. (Some of you may disagree--lol!) #2 was Halloween and #3 is the debut of my new poncho (handknit.) I've been a little under the weather and feel like it reflects on my dressing--walking a fine line between stylish and boring!</p> <p>Comments and criticism welcome. </p>
