I'm being silly, but now I will definitely have to write it. I will include visuals too. Too bad I can't do it in powerpoint. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-785545 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:36:14 +0000 catgirl 785545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, that would be a brilliant post: "Clothing as statement vs. clothing as canvas". That distills down a huge distinction in my mind. I'm terrible with creativity and accessories, so clothing as canvas just doesn't suit me as well. Hope you get around to it soon, or I might have to post it in your name! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-785437 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:17:03 +0000 rachylou 785437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That make sense Una.</p> <p>Mochi, I like the outfit. I'd do a bright scarf for the interest factor. Or even... lipstick </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-785407 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:53:27 +0000 Mochi 785407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, kiwi. That's not babbling, Una. I've long been intending to write a verbose post on completely different approaches to dressing as embodied by Angie and Maitai (and Giovanna for that matter). Clothing as statement as opposed to canvas for accessories. I' am not close to mastering either approach (but am good at expounding on them). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-785399 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 17:47:09 +0000 Kiwichik 785399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the onal photo including scarf is a lovely autumn look - glad you woke up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784882 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 00:22:17 +0000 catgirl 784882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi, this is a perfectly fine outfit and I love this color on you. </p> <p>I will say that one of the reasons I am so into "statement essentials" is that I don't have to worry about building in the interest factor. I just don't have that skill set. My hope is to be able to put on ANY item and have it be intrinsically interesting in some way. I think because I'm also team minimal this is okay because there are only one or two items making a statement.</p> <p>Sorry to babble! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784860 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 23:37:13 +0000 Mochi 784860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not saying that this outfit is a great example, but a low-contrast outfit can do a really good job of highlighting interesting textures, without the distraction of color. I'm aspiring to some of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784857 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 23:35:40 +0000 Mochi 784857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apparently it is, Janet! Looking forward to your WIW, as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784850 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 23:24:34 +0000 Janet 784850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I don't mind a muted color palette outfit at all! I know bright outfits photograph better so they usually get more love online, but this purple jacket is really nice on you. </p> <p>My outfit is simple today too (about to post a WIW), so it must be that kind of day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784845 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 23:16:22 +0000 Kristin SF 784845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this coat! I have to take a cue from you and try to stray away from dark colors. Why go dark in the winter? Love the plum, it looks happy and great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784735 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:53:26 +0000 Isabel 784735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Mocchi ! I just love that color combo of purple and blue. I would have never thought of it . The coat really is fab. I love the necklace. It is very "earthy" and interesting. </p> <p>You are lookin good my friend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784732 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:44:54 +0000 kellygirl 784732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the grey and plum. You are right, great texture going on. i"m loving all the casual outfit posts these days. This one is no exception. I'd wear this in a heart beat </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784726 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:31:26 +0000 bj1111 784726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love your smile esp in the last pix. very cheeky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784715 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:23:38 +0000 RoseandJoan 784715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The soft colour palette is wonderful Mochi. Your hair (which looks gorgeous styled this way) also adds texture to your look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784708 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:10:05 +0000 Mochi 784708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, we crossposted--unless the pattern is hard to see. Yep, on checking, it is all muted colors and hard to make out in that pic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784705 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:06:28 +0000 Asingh 784705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about adding a patterned scarf to the outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784701 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:01:03 +0000 Suz 784701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in that eggplant/ plum/ mulberry - whatever it is colour, Mochi! And what a pretty necklace! </p> <p>And yeah...I hear you about having to make the effort. I am forcing myself to do the same, otherwise it is sweat pants for the whole day, and that's no way to live. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784699 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:00:54 +0000 Sona 784699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>grey+plum= lovely fall colors. your smile=preciously precious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784696 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:57:29 +0000 Day Vies 784696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the jacket. I have done this combo before -- funny how that not so great feeling will seep into your clothes. These colors are friends and play a little too nicely together no pop. I however appreciate the effort! Soldier on </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-the-outfits-not-that-interesting#post-784693 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 18:53:44 +0000 Mochi 784693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>but I need to wake myself up by making an attempt and officializing it with a WIW. The smile is labored because I didn't get a good night's sleep (not to worry--just having sleep issues these days). Also a slight attempt at a texture/shine/color thing. I'm missing pattern. ETA: the necklaces are now obscured by a scarf so no shine but pattern and more texture. It's a slight improvement, and for today, I'll take it. </p> <p>Jacket: Boden<br /> T-shirt: J.
