One of the&nbsp;things you've solidified for me are that I'm really most comfortable with a more 'stompy' shoe [thanks Una!], presumably to offset the top-heavyness that often plagues my outfits...wait, I mean my body, lol. That's why the Sorel's have been so useful to me this Winter...not only are they kinda Mad Max-like, but they're brown (bookending) and tall (height inducing). I didn't try the v-neck sweater without the shirt because it's too similar to the Awry sweater in color palette. That sweater is a total dark horse, because as Elizabeth P noted, you totally cannot tell what it is until you try it on. The right sleeve looks as if it's on upside down, which causes the boxyness of the sweater to offset on the torso. &nbsp;<br />Anyway, I did try the shirt and added my platform, navy&nbsp;suede Tods booties to chunk it up a bit and add much needed height to offset the length of the shirt. I like this better, but of course Winter probably will have something to say about whether this gets out of the house. More layers please!&nbsp;I'm working on trying to&nbsp;hone in on a 'me' look with some of the pieces that I've bought/have that are more traditional by&nbsp;mixing in an unexpected piece or two.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh and Anna, I hear you. If I had followed fashion for as long and as closely as you do, I probably would be tired of AllSaints and Helmut Lang too! As a relative nube to both this forum and even remotely adventurous dressing, I'm just a few years behind, which I'm OK with really. Many/most of the people that I'm around at work think I'm on the&nbsp;cutting edge, which as we all know, is pretty humorous...just going to show you that it's all relative! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1446469 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 14:23:52 +0000 Elizabeth P 1446469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great week!&nbsp; You have such amazing pieces, and put them together so well.&nbsp; Is that the Awry sweater in #3, that you posted the find for?&nbsp; The cool sleeve doesn't show up on thier site very well.&nbsp; Way cool.</p> <p>I'm with Deborah and the others that immediately paused at #5 and thought "no, that's not her".&nbsp; It's a great outfit, just doesn't have the vibe I've come to expect from you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1446458 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 14:03:23 +0000 Daria 1446458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fave is #3 as well. Love #4 too, and booties in #2 look awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1446451 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 13:49:46 +0000 approprio 1446451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! Also liking #3.&nbsp;Agree with others that #5 might look better without the shirt. But the colour blocking&nbsp;is lovely. Can you show a bit of tail under the sweater? How does it play on its own with the joggers? What about opening up the collar? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1446444 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 13:35:11 +0000 celia 1446444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG what great collection of outfits.<br />In #5 I would not wear the shirt underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1446338 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 03:39:43 +0000 Anonymous 1446338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of great pieces here. 1 and 3 are my favorite outfits but I want that zipper necklace in 2. In 5 it's not the buttondown but the preppy V-neck that is throwing the outfit off for me. I think that the semituck helps. Love the wool joggers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1446272 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 00:25:18 +0000 frannieb 1446272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crushing hard on the sweater in #3 and those blue pants in #2 are divine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1446198 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 21:21:08 +0000 rachylou 1446198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a cool collection of pointy shoes and *statement* sweaters. #3 is probably most me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1446184 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 20:50:22 +0000 Anonymous 1446184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, so many great looks. All are fab, with 3 and 4 being favourites. I agree with Deb's take on 5 and I'm sure you will tweek it to put your stamp on it &nbsp;more firmly on it. Loving those joggers...you make them look so great I could be tempted myself as I couldn't imagine myself in a pair..till now thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1446054 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 16:58:25 +0000 Suz 1446054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG you look great in those joggers. What a fabulous addition.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1446011 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 15:55:26 +0000 Angie 1446011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #3. K to the power of K. I'm loving you in asymmetrical matchy-&nbsp;matchyness. (Silhouettes complement your 'do).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445959 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 14:31:09 +0000 jackiec 1445959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your WIWs, Ann!!! I agree with your fav, and love 4 as well. I am not sure about 5 but agree with Deborah. I think I'd choose a visually heavier shoe to balance out the tops. But jeez you are looking amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445925 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 12:57:52 +0000 lyn67 1445925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cant't pick a fave as all are TDF,&nbsp;perhaps &nbsp;a sequence will do for now:-)&nbsp;3,&nbsp;1,4, 2, 5. Yor are a gorgeous inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445877 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 08:39:22 +0000 Krissy 1445877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great outfits. #1 is my favourite though - it's both feminine and sporty. I love that jacket too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445844 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 04:41:13 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1445844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fan of #3 here! That look is awesome, and I was surprised to read that those super chic looking pants are Athleta. The pumps are fantastic with the outfit. <br />I'm really liking how you wear the skirted leggings, too. Another great outfit with them. The first skirt outfit is so fun and unusual and classic You. <br />The last outfit, I agree that the buttondown is kind of throwing me off. I do like the semi-tuck. And the shoes look gray and work nicely with the pants to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445822 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 03:27:11 +0000 Sveta 1445822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are killing me with your fabness, Anne!<br />Your favorite is my&nbsp;favorite too - my goodness, I could wear this in a heartbeat if I had the pieces. Outstanding! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445791 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 02:30:06 +0000 Deborah 1445791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your grace:)&nbsp; It's a nice outfit just lacking your touch of edge </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445778 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 02:14:33 +0000 catgirl 1445778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fave is your fave also! And don't you love the Sorels? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445776 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 02:13:01 +0000 Jaime 1445776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is your favorite (#3) but the first skirt outfit (love the vest)&nbsp;and #4 are excellent also. I would like to see #5 without the buttoned up under layer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445774 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 02:09:06 +0000 annagybe 1445774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like #5 the best. It seems to be the most modern. But that's my personal preference. I'm kinda over the All Saints, Helmut Lang look right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445767 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 02:03:04 +0000 AM 1445767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits. I love 3 and 4.<br />5 looks a bit conservative from what I've seen from you. Agree with Deborah on other options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445764 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 01:59:38 +0000 Day Vies 1445764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my favorite. I love the mix of materials (zipper necklace) in #2 not to mention the flocked pants. The wool joggers are interesting. I have been getting used to that look and love how you've styled them in #3. Thanks for sharing all of your outfits from this week -- very inspirational. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445732 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 00:44:31 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1445732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahhhh, thanks Deborah, I can count on you to spot my attempts to wander out of my comfort zone, lol. Will give it another go with some 'edge'. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445723 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 00:15:05 +0000 Deborah 1445723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As always, fab outfits :)</p> <p>I think you did a great job of styling the skirt.</p> <p>Love the zipper necklace and the ink out looks fresh and modern.</p> <p>Love #3, I want!!&nbsp; Very nice shape and drape</p> <p>#4 perfect and I love how versatile those leggings are.</p> <p>#5 Elements work, but overall it looks a little preppy to me.&nbsp; It doesn't quite look like you.&nbsp; I would swap out the button down and try layering something soft and draped under the sweater???</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-of-2-16-15#post-1445719 Sun, 22 Feb 2015 23:52:35 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1445719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few outfits this week I felt were worth sharing, in case they stimulate ideas for anyone. Without further ado... <ol> <li>An attempt to un-orphan a piece that I used to wear quite a bit. It's essentially an A-line, unquilted&nbsp;puffer skirt made from tech fabric with a fleece-lined waste, which is quite high, especially in back. It's Prada circa 2007, and I wore it quite a bit back then when I dressed more for work. I&nbsp;haven't been feeling it, nor skirts in general&nbsp;this Winter, so I pulled out some fleece tights, my moto booties and wool/leather moto jacket. I like that the oatmeal&nbsp;wool of the topper lightens the look.&nbsp;The sweater is just a basic Harlowe &amp; Graham from the Rack, but they drape really well, so I have 3 colors.</li> <li>My attempt at an ink-out look. My favorite 7FAM jacquard jeggings in cobalt/black, with a navy tee and ink EF cardigan. Shooties are taupe suede platform&nbsp;Stuart Weitzmans from ages ago...so comfy for the height. The 'zipper' necklace is an Uno de 50 find that I loved for its irony.</li> <li>Fave o the week. It's an AllSaints, boxy, asymmetric wool sweater in ink over my grey wool stretchy&nbsp;Athleta city joggers, old black patent&nbsp;Prada pumps and my Express grey python clutch.</li> <li>Friday I wore the 8telier skirted leggings with a long sleeve black tee under an AllSaints oversized short-sleeved woven top that they call their 'ladder tee'. It is a brownish wine color that doesn't register well with my camera. Booties are Sorel Joan of Arctic that pick up the brown tone of the top and&nbsp;that make me feel giant!</li> <li>OK, I didn't wear this one yet, but it features the same wool joggers as above, dressed more traditionally, so I&nbsp;wanted some feedback. I normally don't button shirts all the way up, but my thinking was that the deep vee of the sweater elongates to offset the effect. Thoughts? I semi-tucked the mixed media BR sweater, but probably would pull it out since I"m not loving the proportions. I brought out my powder blue suede kitten heels for bookending the shirt collar, but am also not 100% sure on those.</li> </ol> Thanks for your thoughts and for&nbsp;looking! </p>
