Careful is the word that comes to mind. You have become more careful: same style, but sharper. </p> <p>I was looking at my old pics. I don’t see it normally - I have all these thoughts in my head and so rarely perceive the visual result, no matter how much I look - but yes, Angie is right: my style is Quirky Waif. That is what it looks like and that does not change. I do Sporty Luxe, Jetta Driving Lululemon Yupster, Chucks-Wearing IT girl, etc., in my head, but it totally comes out Quirky Waif. Year after Year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-then-and-now-2#post-2087194 Mon, 23 Dec 2019 08:26:23 +0000 notsaf 2087194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #5 and 7 too!

You are looking wonderful in your most recent photos!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-then-and-now-2#post-2087175 Mon, 23 Dec 2019 03:57:22 +0000 Jenni NZ 2087175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a sort of cool factor for the more recent outfits compared with the first and even second one. It’s mostly the shoes!<br /> 3 probably my fave but also 5,6,7. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-then-and-now-2#post-2087166 Mon, 23 Dec 2019 03:23:16 +0000 Jenn 2087166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I remember Angie telling you to size down, too. You’ve got it now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-then-and-now-2#post-2087161 Mon, 23 Dec 2019 02:56:37 +0000 Jaime 2087161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great flashback and fashion evolution!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-then-and-now-2#post-2087160 Mon, 23 Dec 2019 02:33:31 +0000 JAileen 2087160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, yes, you’re right. &nbsp;I have always had a hard time seeing fit on me. &nbsp;I can see it on others, though. &nbsp;It was fun looking through old pictures. &nbsp;Thank you for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-then-and-now-2#post-2087158 Mon, 23 Dec 2019 02:26:04 +0000 Carla 2087158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Correct me if I’m wrong, JAileen, &nbsp;but I seem to remember Angie regularly suggesting that you ‘size down’ when you posted try ons back in the early days. &nbsp;You certainly learned that lesson - the fit in your more recent pics is bang on. &nbsp;I do love your colour choices in ALL your outfits. &nbsp;The white booties are fabulous! &nbsp;I don’t recall seeing them before?</p> <p>*carries off blue poncho from #6*</p> <p> <div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-then-and-now-2#post-2087154 Mon, 23 Dec 2019 02:14:50 +0000 JAileen 2087154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Copying Carla, StyleFan and Jenn, here are a couple old outfits, and then several newer ones. &nbsp;</p> <p>1. &nbsp;From seven years ago - my very first WIW! &nbsp;The coat didn’t fit very well. &nbsp;I had thrifted it, and so I re-donated it. &nbsp;<br />2. Five years ago. &nbsp;I think I just got the pewter boots. &nbsp;I’m wearing the exact same top in 7! &nbsp;I donated the jacket. &nbsp;It wasn’t very warm and had no pockets. &nbsp;:(<br />3-7. From fairly recently, the last two years or so, to this summer. &nbsp;5 and 7 are probably the most “me”. &nbsp;3 was for playing handbells. &nbsp;5 was for voting early. &nbsp;It’s obvious I still love stripes! </p>
