Good selection! You have a good eye! I wish I could go shopping at GW with you and pop some tags. We'd have so much fun.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-getaways-and-two-of-angies-formulas#post-1087973 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 14:34:56 +0000 Karie 1087973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well now, I think your coat is gorgeous. If I'd have been there, I'd have been swooning over it - and trying to put it in my suitcase ;)</p> <p>It's a style departure for you, but why not? I love playing with other styles and making them my own.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-getaways-and-two-of-angies-formulas#post-1087954 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 14:09:49 +0000 Word Lily 1087954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, that's a great coat! I do think it's a tad more feminine than most of your outfits, but wow, it's awesome. I especially like it buttoned all the way up. The stripes are fun, as is the hoodie/blazer combo (I think I would boil alive ...). And I love the wedding outfit, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-getaways-and-two-of-angies-formulas#post-1087931 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 13:31:29 +0000 carter 1087931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! Love the shoes in both. The coat is awesome. I love that it's an unexpected look for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-getaways-and-two-of-angies-formulas#post-1087925 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 13:19:29 +0000 kkards 1087925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>re: the white coat---sometimes we need something that's not exactly us and/or is not completely practical. just like sometimes we NEED dessert&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-getaways-and-two-of-angies-formulas#post-1087816 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 05:15:30 +0000 Beth Ann 1087816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous, Amy!&nbsp; I have a pair of Jag bootcuts that I love, and your "new" grey pair looks great!&nbsp; I think you've done a great job with a longer, lower stance jacket and hoodie, too!</p> <p>I love the winter white coat.&nbsp; It has lovely structure and shape.&nbsp; I think you do have a "shadow style" that is feminine, and a bit retro.&nbsp; This coat will be so perfect for the holidays.&nbsp; Think about wearing it on Christmas Eve and New Years (like I really dress up for New Years -- ha!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-getaways-and-two-of-angies-formulas#post-1087789 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 04:34:59 +0000 Neel 1087789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coat is a beauty! &nbsp;And I love it closed with both styles of the collar! &nbsp;You look stunning in white!</p> <p>And the wedding outfit is super too! &nbsp;Love the shoes! &nbsp;Great finds!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-getaways-and-two-of-angies-formulas#post-1087692 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 02:55:06 +0000 E 1087692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coat is so striking, especially closed! My goodwills almost never have awesome coats (probably because no one here owns any, lol).&nbsp;The hoodie and blazer combination is really fun too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-getaways-and-two-of-angies-formulas#post-1087659 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 02:28:27 +0000 Carla 1087659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wowsa, Aimiable! This is an awesome set of looks, and that coat/trench is drool worthy. Modern, with just a whiff of steam punk. I hope you keep it and wear the heck out of it, but if you change your mind....I'll volunteer to give it a home! My kids are 21 and 24! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-getaways-and-two-of-angies-formulas#post-1087656 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 02:24:23 +0000 Jaime 1087656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1,2.

It's a terrific coat and you can play with it all you like at this price, right?&nbsp;</p> <p>Here's something that might interest you. I love colour, period...I mean I really perk up with some colour. Makes me happy.&nbsp;</p> <p>But i have noticed distinct differences between seasons. Not only do I reach for different colours, but my overall colour tolerance is lower in winter and I prefer to wear more neutrals. That is, I prefer to wear more neutrals assuming I also have a dose of light/ bright/ shine in an outfit. <b>AND</b>, I desperately need a bright coat or scarf (either a colour or winter white) or I feel really blah after a while. I think the quality of light makes different colours look good on me, objectively, but different ones also look good <b>TO</b> me, depending on the light.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-getaways-and-two-of-angies-formulas#post-1087619 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 01:39:45 +0000 amiable 1087619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know Suz - you have a good point. &nbsp;As I look at my style over the last year and a bit, I think I'm consistently becoming more feminine and more polished. &nbsp;I'm not sure if it's what's really "me", or if it's just the influence of this forum. &nbsp; But I like it. &nbsp;At least I think I do.</p> <p>And I funny thing about outfit #2 (which I wore most of the day and evening), is that my happiness factor was really really high in it, but it contained no color. &nbsp;It was gray/black/white from head to toe. &nbsp;Yet I loved it. &nbsp;This is not what I expect from myself, ha!</p> <p>A white coat is terribly impractical with kids and dirty winters, but I'm smitten with it, perhaps for it's impracticality which makes it feel very bold and fun - the same that I remember feeling about my red jeans last winter.</p> <p>Thanks for the food for thought!</p> <p>(And you're correct - the coat is cream - "winter white" is how I'm thinking of it)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-getaways-and-two-of-angies-formulas#post-1087614 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 01:31:49 +0000 Suz 1087614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, you look so pretty and happy! Love the footwear! #2 looks super cool and how clever are you to find a hoodie to work with it?&nbsp;</p> <p>The coat makes me wonder if you're experiencing a bit of a style shift. Do you find the words "urban prince" have a different ring to you these days? Seriously -- the coat looks a little bit on the feminine side for your ideal, aspirational style due to the cut (i.e. it looks as if it has a sort of seam and then a "skirted" bottom, albeit not wide) &nbsp;-- <b>BUT,</b> having said that, I love all the collar options on it, love that it is white/cream, and think it is a fantastic piece for you to experiment with. You carry the drama of this coat very well. Hmmm. I wonder if <b>MY</b> Goodwilll has one of those....</p> <p>You look so pretty in your wedding outfit. A bit retro. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-weekend-getaways-and-two-of-angies-formulas#post-1087604 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 01:20:24 +0000 amiable 1087604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Birthday celebrations (from last week) continued this weekend with a mini-retreat with some friends to a nearby town. &nbsp;I had to leave the retreat a bit early to attend a family friend's wedding, and I didn't take my camera. &nbsp;So here's my outfits as I tried them out beforehand. &nbsp;</p> <p>#1 New-to-me jeans (gray jeans #2 - Jag Jeans. &nbsp;I love them. &nbsp;They have black studs around the pockets!) &nbsp;They're straight legged. And new-to-me varying grays and white striped tee. &nbsp;Both Good Will from earlier this week.</p> <p>#2 I thought I might get cold, so I added a jacket (which I've had a long time).</p> <p>#3 And a hoodie, just in case (this hoodie also from Good Will this week - it's SO soft).</p> <p>#4 The jacket over hoodie outfit from Angie a week or two back.</p> <p>#5 And the back view.</p> <p>#6-8 Topped with my new-to-me white coat (Old Navy) from Good Will. &nbsp;I'm in love with this coat. &nbsp;I don't think my friends were fans though. &nbsp;Am I delusional?</p> <p>#9-10 WIW to the wedding - Angies cropped top (I think hers was a sweater instead of a jacket though) over a flared skirt. &nbsp;&nbsp;I added silver sparkly earrings to go with the bracelet, and the white coat. &nbsp;Does the combo work? &nbsp;(The skirt is black eyelet, the jacket is new-to-me DKNY Jeans blue and black jaquard, from Good Will earlier this week).</p> <p>See, I did buy lots at Good Will (I think this isn't quite half way through yet?)</p> <p>What do you think? &nbsp;Suggestions for improvements on the outfits? &nbsp;Purchasing errors?</p> <p>Off to catch up with what's been going on here in my day and a half gone </p>
