Thank you for sharing!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in/page/2#post-1889669 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 20:24:06 +0000 Lynn 1889669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer, about your cold Jenn. Hope you feel better soon. It is fun to watch the winter Olympics as a Coloradan. The snowboarders have rocked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in/page/2#post-1889623 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 18:17:04 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1889623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My initial reaction is, You are there. You look very bohemian sophisticate, and fantastic! And I was blown away by your curls in #4. Wow, wow, wow. Just beautiful, Jenn. I will say the blazer outfit in 4 and 5 looks least bohemian to me. I could see the blazer over a more flowy, floral piece, perhaps like one of the dresses you're showing here, or a long blouse. You wear cardigans beautifully, and they suit your style moniker. I like both of the ones you're showing here, but especially the belted one, for its freshness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in/page/2#post-1889504 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 14:33:39 +0000 RobinF 1889504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to this post but I love your casual looks, especially #1 with the gray cardigan. So cozy looking yet polished. The dresses are fun too and I could see them working well into the spring.</p> <p>And since you aren't feeling well it helps that there is something to watch on TV - you timed it perfectly! I spent a year in Finland back when I was a high school student so I always root for them!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in/page/2#post-1889411 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 04:39:33 +0000 Angie 1889411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear. Colds can be soooo grotty. Rest up. </p> <p>I’m watching the pairs figure skating event now. Absolutely INCREDIBLE. The best snowboarders in the world are 17 year old Americans. Can you imagine reaching the peak of your sporting career at that age! </p> <p>I support the Dutch speed skaters completely. They are a tiny county who bring back many medals precisely because they excel at that event. </p> <p>For the rest, I support China, the US, South Africa and the Netherlands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in/page/2#post-1889398 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 03:46:18 +0000 Jenn 1889398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, <b>Angie</b>, I am quite drugged up on cold medicine and camped out with tissue and tea, but there is NO END to the Olympics coverage. I'm kind of glad for the excuse to spend this much time on the couch guilt-free. &nbsp;(It's super-fun to watch the winter games as a Coloradoan, though hubby is always rooting for the Dutch speed skaters.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1889374 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 02:13:46 +0000 Angie 1889374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenn</b>, I hope you're feeling better.

I'm up till very late watching...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1889331 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 00:45:42 +0000 Jenn 1889331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rest at ease, <b>lisa p</b>, that cardigan isn't ombré, it's just the light. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1889304 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 23:17:31 +0000 Anonymous 1889304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the best hair, and wine is a fantastic colour on you (floral print dress, cardigan etc) . &nbsp;Also, I want that ombre cardigan, even though I don't *do* cardigans particularly well. &nbsp;This is about as analytical as I can get today. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1889301 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 23:12:09 +0000 Jenn 1889301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>JAileen</b>, after Angie wrote about duplication strategies, I started duplicating in the -same- color, and that seems to work so much better for me. The two dresses aren't exact dupes. One buttons all the way down the front and has bell sleeves, while the other has roll-up long sleeves, and no front buttons.</p> <p><b>Sara,&nbsp;</b>I hope this is true. My one worry is that I probably won't wear the dresses unless I'm going out, which limits wear-potential to once or twice a week. That may turn out to be plenty, though, since they'll go through multiple seasons.</p> <p><b>Staysfit,&nbsp;</b>maybe that's my issue..."ethereal" isn't really something I can pull off. I'm reasonably tall, but I tend to look shorter than I am, and this isn't my best color or neckline. I kept it because I loved the way it felt on, but I always seem to be disappointed when I look in the mirror. You've given me the idea to try it over one of the Tolani tunic dresses, though!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888920 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 00:44:26 +0000 Staysfit 1888920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, your outfit pics are excellent. It is easy to see boho sophisticate in each outfit! </p> <p>What is your struggle with the EF sweater? I like Suz’s suggestions for how to wear it. I agree on needing to watch the tail in back when using the toilet! I mostly wear it paired with a long sleeveless silk tunic that has a rounded bottom hem. When I pair it with anything heavy or bulky it doesn’t look nice on me. I haven’t tried to pair it with a topper because I would overheat, but a scarf works. I have used long necklaces. On my frame, this sweater takes on a very soft, light, ethereal quality. There is a lot of movement, and it is also a very linear looking piece which may be why I like the rounded hem of the tunic. I pair it with skinny jeans and my tall leather or suede boots in either navy or charcoal. It could look very neutral if I didn’t have my green glasses. One more thought...I like how a print looks underneath as opposed to a solid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888865 Mon, 12 Feb 2018 21:23:49 +0000 Sara L. 1888865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress in #7 and I can see why you would duplicate it.&nbsp; I think the colors are different enough that you wouldn't be splitting wears.&nbsp; I also really like #1 and #4.&nbsp; I know you don't like #3, but it does give me an idea about layering a dress and sweater together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888798 Mon, 12 Feb 2018 15:46:03 +0000 JAileen 1888798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair is gorgeous. So it sounds odd, but I really like it in a bun like in the first pics, without bangs. It seems more arty sophisticated.</p> <p>Duplicating: this is a problem for me. I might order something in two colors, figuring I will send one back, but then I keep both. I don’t know if it really splits wears, though, since it is usually with tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888793 Mon, 12 Feb 2018 15:32:12 +0000 Jenn 1888793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>SarahD8,&nbsp;</b>Wearing silk against my skin always feels so darn decadent. I think I'd rather be a rich arts patron than a starving artist. &nbsp;;)</p> <p><b>Brooklyn and JenniNZ,&nbsp;</b>I think part of what's going on is that my <b></b><i>essentials</i><b></b> are more on the "sophisticate" end and my <b></b><i>statements</i><b></b> are more on the "bohemian" side. It's a new style moniker I'm using as a buying guideline for the coming year, so I'm sure they'll become more integrated as my wardrobe evolves. I'm a slow evolver at this point, though...the second floral dress is really the only thing I've bought so far this year. &nbsp;On the other hand, do I really mind if I don't embody this moniker everyday? I like having a consistent style, but perhaps that consistency falls more across my entire closet than in every outfit that comes out of it. (I should note, too, that a goal for me is to amp the "sophisticate" side even more, as I think some of my casual essentials like bf jeans and lace-up boots could use an upgrade.)</p> <p><b>shevia,&nbsp;</b>I'm actually wearing some amount of lipstick in all the pics above, but the red stands out, doesn't it? Even the more subtle shade makes a difference, but the red is an accessory all on its own. As for the hair...I felt like having it straight made my face look rounder, which I didn't really like at all. Pic #6 (the day after the blowout) is almost exactly what my hair texture was like pre-pregnancy. The curls were a happy hormonal side effect that have stuck around for 17 years!</p> <p><b>unfrumped,&nbsp;</b>interesting! 8 feels different from the other two! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888738 Mon, 12 Feb 2018 08:41:16 +0000 Jenni NZ 1888738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jenn. I looked at the pics again and thought about what I might say. And that was: what is boho about much of this? Does one tassel necklace make an outfit boho? Not to me. I thought only the ones with the dresses look bohemian really. Any with the long cardigan lean more that way. I adore your curls, why do hairdressers do that?<br /> So, I like the outfits, all except the one with the asymmetric cardy. But I was on record in the forum as never understanding why so many of you liked that anyway!<br /> So, as you asked do these fit with your style, yes, they look like "you". But do they fit with your style moniker?- I can't see it. It seems that others do though? Brooklyn seems the only other person who questions... and I'm no style expert... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888706 Mon, 12 Feb 2018 04:19:44 +0000 unfrumped 1888706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1, 6 &amp; 8 especially. Something about the proportions look really good to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888704 Mon, 12 Feb 2018 04:13:31 +0000 Jaime 1888704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you kidding me? I love your curls. I think I have actually developed a poison eye against blown out hair. I mean it works beautifully on some but so often it just looks wrong. Or perhaps it is bad associations. Apologies to people with blown out hair, this is my issue !<br />Anyway, also lipstick. It took me so long to realize what a great difference it makes. I therefore love 4 doubly. But 1,2,5 and 7 are great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888683 Mon, 12 Feb 2018 02:09:49 +0000 Brooklyn 1888683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jenn. The last 2 strike me as the most boho sophisticate. Some of the others (1, 2, 6) seem more urban sophisticate than boho to me, and 4,5 more classic sophisticate, but I like them! My fave is 4,5 because I am currently in love with the blazer and jeans look. You look fabulous. Black is great with your hair.<br /> I agree that no 3 has some issues - sometimes winterising a summer dress just doesn’t work because the fabrics look wrong together. But I think the concept of layering the sweater over a dress or skirt is a good one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888669 Mon, 12 Feb 2018 01:25:53 +0000 SarahD8 1888669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of the tunic/dresses, they suit you well and definitely convey "bohemian sophisticate." Your hair in #4 is especially amazing!</p> <p>Oh, and #1. Silk and cashmere, that just seems the height of luxury for toiling away in a garret (going with the bohemian theme...) during the winter. Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888634 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 23:15:54 +0000 Style Fan 1888634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your hair curly and it fits so well with your style.&nbsp; Your colour palette suits you and the dresses seem very versatile.&nbsp; You have a romantic look that is still very practical.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888631 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 23:01:15 +0000 Jenn 1888631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sal,&nbsp;</b>you echo my thoughts exactly on the silk tunic dresses. They're at least 3-season dresses here. I'm a bit put off by their delicacy, but I had the back seam mended and strengthened on the first one and it's now better than ever. I'll do the same with the second one, if necessary. And yes, sometimes bf jeans are just the thing, especially in warmer weather.</p> <p><b>jussie,&nbsp;</b>thank you! Funny you should pick out #1 as the one you'd change, though, because that was actually one of my favorites. It felt low-key and relaxed for my day at home. (I do have on a long tassel necklace that's a bit hidden in my pose, though.)</p> <p>Oh man, <b>The Cat</b>, I love velvet, but it's really difficult in a house with cats (one black, one white). Perhaps if I could find a blend that doesn't pick up hair...</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Joy</b> and <b>runcarla</b>!</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, I'm taking a true day off today, curled up on the couch, sipping tea, and watching figure skating. Hopefully, that'll stop this chest cold in its tracks.</p> <p><b>Mainelady</b>, I've been working really hard at cutting back on consumption and "wearing the heck out of" my clothes. I still have plenty of underutilized items in my closet, but I'm making better choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888618 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 22:13:58 +0000 Mainelady 1888618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am impressed with the number of wears you have with your clothes!

Angie talks about "wearing the heck out of" our clothes, and you've clearly been doing that!</p> <p>I like the drama of your long cardigans, and your accessories! Your hair is beautiful with and without curls; it's almost like changing accessories when you change the amount of curl in your hair.</p> <p>What a pretty photo bomber!</p> <p>It's a pleasure to see your warm winter outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888571 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 20:36:52 +0000 Carla 1888571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at your pics I was thinking 'what an elegant way to do bohemian' - so you are dead on with your style moniker. Lovely romantic and moody palette. #6 and #7 are my favourites. I quite like your hair up and down, curly and smooth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888570 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 20:35:00 +0000 The Cat 1888570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my opinion, you look particularly great in your wine Italian cashmere cardigan (perfect length for you), your floral tunics and your dark fur-lined boots.</p> <p>Instead of blue jeans, may I suggest velvet trousers/jeans? I imagine they would look great on you and be perfect for a Bohemian Sophisticate. And the same could be said about palazzo pants--perhaps worth trying in spring/summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-style-check-in#post-1888568 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 20:27:58 +0000 jussie 1888568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your Tolani dresses, the dark red duster coat and the black top and jacket combo. In fact, I really like all your outfits- definitely bohemian sophistication here. The only one I would tweak is number 1, I think it would be nice to add some kind of accessorie or other colour here- just to add a touch of boho or extra zing.<br /> Thanks for sharing your beautiful outfits </p>
