I find that outfit photos show my "formulas" that I favor often. And it's a lot of jeans and boots! Oh and that green is lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-overwhelmed-15-for-30-update#post-793857 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:43:49 +0000 cobaltblue 793857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pink/sparkle outfit and the stripes, too. The green is lovely on you, and you've gotten great suggestions for dealing with the shirt length issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-overwhelmed-15-for-30-update#post-793752 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 19:17:15 +0000 Suz 793752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's important to realise that part of the reason these challenges are tough is that real world conditions often pushed us to make some of our "over 30" purchases in the first place! It's partly love of variety, but it's also weather conditions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-overwhelmed-15-for-30-update#post-793726 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:45:23 +0000 bj1111 793726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great lessons learned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-overwhelmed-15-for-30-update#post-793193 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 02:13:23 +0000 Sara L. 793193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like the last two outfits with the stripes and pink scarf and the pink sweater and sequins. I think the hem of the shirt underneath the green sweater needs to hang out a bit more to provide more contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-overwhelmed-15-for-30-update#post-793115 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 00:13:39 +0000 Anonymous 793115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Laura! I love stripes right now, so you can't go wrong with me in a striped top. I understand about the blazers being constricting. And I probably couldn't make it through one of those clothing challenges either. I hate being cold, that's for sure! I like the ballet pink on you, it reads as a soft blush and looks nice with your skin tone. The bright pink scarf is really pretty too. </p> <p>Regarding the length of tops, that is a tricky one for me. I think a hip-length top is more leg-lengthening with pants than a crotch-length one, but that depends on how far my jeans cover my waist. I think the prevalence of low-rise jeans have most of us wearing our tops longer, to keep covered. Tucking in is a great solution if you think your top looks too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-overwhelmed-15-for-30-update#post-793097 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 23:39:56 +0000 celia 793097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That seems to be also my problem with this kind of challenge, it doesn't allow for great variations in temperature .<br /> I really like the first outfit and think that that green color looks marvellous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-while-overwhelmed-15-for-30-update#post-793080 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 23:06:32 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 793080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One might guess from my radio silence that my 15-for-30 challenge is on hiatus for right now. Part of it was that I was struggling with the rules, but part of it was that it got cold here and I really wanted to have the option of more layers around. It's more of a spring or fall weight plan - two layers including jacket. (Also, I'm reminded that I really don't like wearing blazers all day, unless they're knit - they just aren't comfy enough for me.) I plan to revisit this capsule plan in the spring - I think there are still interesting things I can learn about capsule wardrobes - but for right now it's just too much of a struggle.</p> <p>Looking back on the few outfit pics I've snapped recently you'd think that the only thing I wear is jeans and sweaters. Hmm...<br /> 1 - last 15-for-30 outfit I managed to wear; I like this in general actually<br /> 2/3 - shirt too short? I do this v-neck sweater over button-up thing a lot in the winter but I'm not sure it's working great here.<br /> 4/5 - still obsessed with ballet pink for some reason<br /> 6/7 - worn on a freakishly warm day, newly thrifted top. Again, too short a top? </p> <p>I miss being around more; hope everyone is kicking along well and surviving the holiday prep. </p>
