I don't have any right now (I have a very minimal shoe closet) but they would definitely extend the line. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-refined-vitality#post-827164 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 03:27:17 +0000 tarzy 827164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great - and you look very happy and confident wearing it!</p> <p>Are the boots brown? What do you think about a grey boot to bookend the sweater, or black boot to keep the sleek leg line going? </p> <p>(You're going for a very similar style to what I'm going for!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-refined-vitality#post-827098 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 02:27:30 +0000 Thistle 827098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look on you! Such a pretty cardigan, and the necklace look really good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-refined-vitality#post-827032 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 00:58:02 +0000 rachylou 827032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think the outfit definitely is what imagine when I hear "Refined Vitality."</p> <p>Off to the side: My style statement is Contemporary Beauty (I did a consultation with Carrie, Danielle's business partner). It makes sense to me, but I don't think it works as a moniker for my fashion style. It's my spirit but not my visual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-refined-vitality#post-826474 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:43:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 826474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are on a roll Krista - gorgeous!

I appreciate the feedback on my cardigan; I actually didn't mention that it's been an orphan and I finally gave it a chance after many months. I'm not a big fan of the fringe, it always feels so "out there", like all you can see coming your way is light blue fringe! But I trust your feedback - so thank you!</p> <p>Raisin - Titus is a miniature schnauzer and their coat is not wiry, it's very soft. </p> <p>Doulahil - I saw your outfit today and you're right, we could have been twins! Super cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-refined-vitality#post-825988 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 22:19:24 +0000 Dana 825988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice.

I love this whole outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-refined-vitality#post-825894 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 20:14:53 +0000 CocoLion 825894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Refined vitality is a great way to describe this pulled-together casual look. The fringe and glass necklace really do add to the "vitality" part of the equation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-refined-vitality#post-825893 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 20:14:01 +0000 Hil 825893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Krista - you and I could have been twins today </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-refined-vitality#post-825609 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:18:19 +0000 Angie 825609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another great look!

I agree if you wanted to change it up a long pendant necklace might be nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-refined-vitality#post-825528 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:29:30 +0000 Sarah A 825528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your statement phrase and your outfit!

I think you are hitting the refined vitality nicely! Titus is a cutie! Is he one of those dogs with wiry fur? I like those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-refined-vitality#post-825519 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 14:22:13 +0000 Krista 825519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good Tuesday morning Fabbers!</p> <p>Refined Vitality is actually my key phrase to define my style; I made it up a few years ago after working through the book Style Statement by Danielle Laporte. In a nutshell, its elements involve simplicity, proportion and elegance (refined) combined with color, whimsy and/or sparkle (elements that create life in outfits - vitality). After almost 4 years, I finally feel like I'm getting there and definitely with your gracious help! What do you think of this definition?</p> <p>Today's outfit is striving for Refined Vitality. Simple charcoal skinny pants with a white boat neck top for "refined". Light blue waterfall cardigan with fringe and glass chunky necklace for "vitality". Am I there? Does it work?</p> <p>I very much value your thoughts, input and feedback! Over to you!</p> <p>Pants: Cleo Petites<br /> Top: Old Navy<br /> Sweater: not sure of brand; purchased at Simons in Montreal (pre YLF)<br /> Boots: Clark's<br /> Necklace: thrifted</p> <p>Bonus shot of my dog Titus who is currently sporting a light blue kerchief to match! </p>
