I love the blue for you, that is one of my favourite colours too. The proportions of the trouser outfits are both just stunning giving you a long and lean shape. I look forward to seeing more of your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-week-in-cobalt#post-864065 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 04:18:26 +0000 Beth Ann 864065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are marvelous! I'm going to thoroughly enjoy your posts! Another vote for 1 and 4 as favorites. Have you tried the top part of #1 with the skirt in #3? Just an idea. And I'm with you with regard to stiff clothing. I think there are shirts out there with a nice balance of structure and softness. Persevere!</p> <p>If I remember correctly, you're an athlete. You personal fashion "challenges" have the feel of a great competitor! I love that!</p> <p>(And I adore cobalt) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-week-in-cobalt#post-863991 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 03:19:51 +0000 Carla 863991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You folks are all so nice! I just love it here.</p> <p>Vicki and Makrame, this is the only button down shirt I own! I bat for team soft, and struggle to find comfort with the crispness of a classic shirt. Regardless, I feel I should al least try to add a plain white button down, and I agree that a coloured shirt would have improved # 2. Maybe yellow?</p> <p>Caro, #1 is my fav too. I just love the purple sweater. It is the nicest 100% cotton, and the sleeves are long enough. I would not have worn the shirt peeking out if I hadn't learned that trick from following this forum.</p> <p>BJ1111' preppy is a compliment in my books.</p> <p>About the hair...if you look at the photos on my Caribean post, that is my hair at it's best. Washed and air dried with just a little leave in conditioner. It gets mashed around and frizzy when I sleep on it. The straighter hair happens on Wednesday through Friday when my training (pool and gym) are so late in the pm, that I must blow it dry. That usually only happens October to May, when the weather is to cold to go outside with wet hair. Wild hair is actually my signature and juxtaposes my conservative fashion style.</p> <p>Angie, I am so grateful for this forum, and honoured by your review of my WIW. </p> <p>Aida, you and Shevia are my hair inspiration! Your endorsement means a lot. I am right with you about #3. Last night after taking the pictures I untucked the top. It was the same length as the sweater and looked much better, and the black in#2 is too high contrast.</p> <p>Suz, I'm the family photographer, so I haven't really had much opportunity to see what I look like! Just getting these pictures taken and studying them has been so informative! For example, I need to go replace the bra I'm wearing in # 4.</p> <p>I plan to post more WIW in the future, and am excited about charting the progression of my personal style. It can only get better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-week-in-cobalt#post-863953 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 02:42:01 +0000 Jaime 863953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also love your hair wild! I think #1 and #4 are my favorites - you have chosen great colors and the proportions look good. I think the sweater in #3 is too long but a shorter one or jacket would look great! Keep posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-week-in-cobalt#post-863950 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 02:38:38 +0000 Suz 863950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE your wild hair. It is perfection on you!! </p> <p>I also love you in cobalt! Isn't it a wonderful colour! </p> <p>My faves here are #1 and #4. I do not *think* it is because these are trouser outfits, but you do happen to wear the trousers really well. You look quite relaxed and easy in these outfits. Which is a miracle, since posting the first WIW can make a woman nervous! </p> <p>Welcome to the wonderful world of WIW -- I found my own style explorations really took a leap when I jumped into the photo taking fray! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-week-in-cobalt#post-863920 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 02:08:41 +0000 Aida 863920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally agree with Angie, the wild hair is super! I love how it looks I'm particularly fond of #1 and #4. I'd like to see a shorter topper with #3, and perhaps a non-black belt/boots combo in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-week-in-cobalt#post-863826 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 00:33:39 +0000 Angie 863826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your wild hair is fabulous! Please don't tame it. </p> <p>I like outfits #1 and #4 best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-week-in-cobalt#post-863809 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 00:06:29 +0000 bj1111 863809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>carla, my fave is #1 as well. i think it's the wildchild hair set against the prepster outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-week-in-cobalt#post-863791 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:45:46 +0000 Caro in Oz 863791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite is #1. Nice to see your WIW:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-week-in-cobalt#post-863770 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:23:14 +0000 Makrame 863770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You certainly look great in cobalt! I especially like the popped collar in #2, and the overall proportions of #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-week-in-cobalt#post-863730 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 23:00:29 +0000 Vicki 863730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to see you here in your first WIW and you look great and choose your colors well! I love the casual look in #1 and #4 (such a nice pairing with the scarf and sweater). What a great February challenge for yourself with cobalt! Excellent. In #2, I can also see a pop of white, with a blouse, under the cardigan or some other color, too, to add visual contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwa-week-in-cobalt#post-863722 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:54:16 +0000 Carla 863722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my first WIW post. I'm just starting my style journey and doing the work to figure out my style descriptor. Sporty/Natural/Classic is what I've come up with so far. </p> <p>I have a modest collection of clothes that I like in general. I love about 1/3. I want to gradually replace/ upgrade what I currently have with better quality and style. More about this later. Here is what I wore:</p> <p> There are 5 cobalt items in my closet. I challenged myself to wear cobalt each day in February, with the exception of the red dress I wore on Valentines. I only took pictures this week.</p> <p>#1 white/cobalt stripped shirt - Lands' End<br /> Purple sweater - ?<br /> Cobalt corduroy crops - Lands' End<br /> Shoes - Liz Claibourne</p> <p># 2 shirt - LE<br /> Grey cardi - Alfred Sung - PURE<br /> Cobalt skirt - Grace Elements<br /> Belt - Ardene's<br /> Shoes - Soft</p> <p>#3 t-shirt - Reitman's<br /> Black lace sweater - Alfred Sung - PURE<br /> Boots - Frye - Paige</p> <p># 4 mustard sweater - Conrad C<br /> Leopard scarf - gift from mom<br /> Cobalt corduroys - LE<br /> Boots - Frye - Paige</p> <p>I think # 1 and #3 were successful, #2 not so much. # 4 I added my one bit of leopard after AJ's challenge! </p>
