You are helping me to distill things down and everything is starting to make sense. </p> <p>Elizabeth, I really appreciate the encouragement to keep posting and sharing. That alone was incredibly helpful! I also like how you noticed my dislike of extremes... I do so love balance!</p> <p>Isabel, you are the second person to use the word gentle, which I appreciate, as it shines light on it being a theme worth investigating. Thank you for taking the time to tell me what you see. It helps SO much.</p> <p>Tricia... thank you! I can't wait to play with your wardrobe. Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-in-review#post-1791990 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 21:57:50 +0000 tricia w. 1791990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous and I love your style.

Just as stylish but warmer, sweeter, and very attractive.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-in-review#post-1791895 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 17:11:49 +0000 Elizabeth P 1791895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not quite sure what to say Sarah, except please please please keep posting outfits!&nbsp; I can't wait to see what you have to say about your style thoughts, and I hope you can find the time and energy to articulate them.&nbsp; I love what I see there... and I love how kkards summed it up...<br /> "a core style, but are not a uniform dresser".&nbsp; </p> <p>I feel like you've nailed the type of style that I would like to have.&nbsp; I can put together an outfit with this look every once and a while, yet it's not "my style".&nbsp; I think I have too much variety going on.&nbsp; Definitely some food for thought here.&nbsp; I love how you have some avant garde without being too extreme, some flowy drape without being too extreme...&nbsp; You also have an exceptional eye for details.</p> <p>You have definitely given me some food for thought.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-in-review#post-1791832 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 14:17:15 +0000 RobinF 1791832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love all of these! Love the white wrap top, so cute and unusual. And Thursday's outfit is great with the patterned shoes. Hard to pick a favorite. Your look to me is funky, casual, classy. Love the avant-garde idea too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-in-review#post-1791821 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 13:09:04 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1791821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awwww thank you guys so much! </p> <p>And Jaime, I love that... gentle drama!

I hadn't hit upon the word natural, but that's exactly what I love! And I've am very inspired by avante garde looks in general. I love that you picked up on that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-in-review#post-1791297 Sat, 25 Mar 2017 11:49:49 +0000 Anonymous 1791297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love your white shirts outfits: so relaxed but pulled together.<br /> I singled out your white shirts outfits, but All your outfits are great and your husband makes a great assessment. Nice to have an in-house style assistant!<br /> Based on these pictures, I think your style is a little avant-Garde, a little natural, and a little trendy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-in-review#post-1791275 Sat, 25 Mar 2017 07:01:08 +0000 Greyscale 1791275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I'm inspired to go pull out my white shirts! These are all great, and I love the wrap shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-in-review#post-1791268 Sat, 25 Mar 2017 05:45:27 +0000 Jane 1791268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your style is as Angie says, the 3 p's. I really enjoy how you have styled the outfits together. DH <i>is</i>&nbsp;astute! I really like the white shirt with the wrap detail, I haven't seen that detailing before.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-in-review#post-1791199 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 23:00:12 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1791199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Sara! I hadn't even thought about mannequin hands! Kind of makes sense... But I still like the low contrast- I think it makes the fingers look longer....</p> <p>Thank you so much Emily! Yes, he's a keeper. :-)</p> <p>That's so sweet Pat, thank you. I love when people post what they wear - it always inspires me too. I love that we can learn from each other here... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-in-review#post-1791182 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 20:36:35 +0000 Pat_P 1791182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these!

My pleasure.&nbsp;</p> <p>SarahtheWhite needs to wear white. And NOW YOU DO. <b>Wooohoooo.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-in-review#post-1791063 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 14:21:30 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1791063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awww, thank you Angie! That means SO much. I also really appreciate the style descriptors - it's very helpful to hear it from someone more objective than my own mind. And YOU are the reason I have fallen in love with white! I never realized that I could make it work... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-in-review#post-1791050 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 13:53:38 +0000 Angie 1791050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hip, gorgeous, interesting, fashion forward, relaxed, fun and <b>always</b> "polished, pretty and pulled together" - the three new P's, no matter what, Sarah. (I strive to achieve the same P's in my own style).</p> <p>I love that you're wearing shades of white that repeat the colours in your hair. Hubs gets it, and all the proportions here work to my eye.&nbsp;</p> <p>You are a stylish inspiration. Full stop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-in-review#post-1791049 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 13:36:28 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1791049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided to take photos every day before work this week. I've been giving a lot of thought lately to Angie's post on signature style. I have a lot of ideas, and some of them are getting a little clearer after looking at just one week of outfits. But that's a post for another day. I am very interested in your observations on it as well! I felt really good every single day this week with what I wore, but I have to say that my outfit today is what I would like to wear if I was meeting someone for the first time. I feel completely "me". </p> <p>I don't have time to go into great detail about everything, but have just a few notes...</p> <p>The photos are in order Mon-Fri.</p> <p>You have already seen Tuesday, but I included it to be seen as part of the whole week.</p> <p>I discovered that the heel on one of the shoes for Weds outfit was broken so had to change them out for Monday's flats. It was not as flattering, but worked. </p> <p>When I brought that cocoon top home from Anthropologie, my husband looked perplexed, had me walk back and forth, looked at the back and said "the fact that it goes in at the bottom makes it work. It's the same weirdness as your harem pants. I like it!" That cracked me up... Also, I thought it was very astute of him! </p> <p>I'm not sure the proportions of the top on Thursday is the most flattering, but I'm hoping it is JFE. It was hard to photograph, but there is a subtle ruffle on the back/bottom. Because when you carry your extra weight in that area, why not emphasise it with a butt ruffle (not to be confused with the butt vest...) :-)</p> <p>I gave you a "before" photo of today's CAbi top. It is way too wide for me to like as-is, but it was designed to also wrap. I always wear it wrapped. I thought that was an ingenious little detail! On a side note, I have added regular manicures to my routine, and this neutral color is my favorite! (OPI Tiramisu for Two). Neutral and subtle... Big surprise... :-)</p> <p>As always, I so appreciate feedback on what could be tweaked! </p>
