30x30: Week 2 - YouLookFab Forum

Ok, so I'm a week behind posting... that's what happens when you go to a cottage with no internet for a long weekend!

Feeling much better about doing this now that I've removed my shoes and accessories. As you can see, I rely heavily on them.

1. Hanging around on Sat
2. Going out for dinner with family. Cool damp evening. Had no intention of these items making it to my 30, but I wanted to wear them this evening. See how bad I am at this?
3. To a year end volleyball party at a lake
4-5 Work
6-7. My youngest "graduated" from G6! They had a dance, and a few of the parents met at a local watering hole while it was going on, so took advantage of an opportunity to wear my pleather shorts/clamdiggers/whatever you want to call them. This is where I realize the challenge is so limiting... I can't wear these very often as they are hot (unbreathable), yet obviously are for warm weather. Very specific. They were perfect for this evening, but I may never wear them again during the challenge. We shall see.
8 Work. Also had no intention of adding htis dress to the capsule, as I thought it was too warm for it now, but I love it and the temps were perfect for it.
9 Casual Friday at work.

Up to 28 items now, so things are NOT looking good... esp as I anticipate a change in weather (summer may come) and attitude - my workplace gets a bit more casual, plus I typically want to wear more breezy clothes once July hits.

But so far I'm on track! Plus it's fun to at least try to participate.

Any thoughts, comments or suggestions, on anything, welcome!

I love all of it. That dress is killer!!!

Nicely done!! I also love the dress, plus think the proportions of 2 and 9 are lovely on you. Your defined colour palette is really working.

I am up to 30 pieces now so you are not alone:)

Aquamarine

Wow, 4 looks fantastic. Loving the white flared crops plus those sandals (Freebirds?).

Wow--the edginess came out a little bit this week! The layering in outfit #4 is my favorite.

Carla

Modern and clean - and some of the best footwear on YLF!

(PS: I will respond to your request for a 30x30 capsule pic AND for garden pics. I haven't forgotten!)

Dianna

You look fabulous in every outfit. The dress is gorgeous, I think that and number 9 are my favorites, but love all of them.

Barbara Diane

Well done. Those clothes and that palette real work on you.

You have become my style inspiration for wearing wide legged cropped pants.

I remember the first post you wrote about them. That post drew my interest and I resolved to certainly try them. But seeing you wear them during this challenge in all your magnificent glory has deeply inspired me to make them a signature item this summer. Why you stand out more than anyone else on the Forum might have to do with the high contrast and colors you favor. I mean c'mon. White and black!!! To die for, in my book.

I don't know if I would have embraced these pants to such a degree if you had not posted so many WIWs during this challenge. I still need to practice proportions and things, but your WIWs are like a tiny guidebook. Since these pants are so well suited for my life style and my climate (especially my climate), I can't thank you enough.

Best wishes.

Can't get better than perfect!

Everything you are wearing looks great.

Killer Fab all the way, Elizabeth. #4 is my fave. Are you growing your hair? Looks super cute.

Elizabeth P

Oh my goodness, you ladies are so sweet! I hoped you'd like my week, but was not expecting this response.

Sterling... wow, I am humbled. Thank you so much for the kind words. I too find flared crops perfect for my weather and lifestyle, so I hope you give them an honest try and find they work for you. Funny about the proportion thing... I don't find I need to try too hard with them, they just seem to work. My advice is not to overthink wearing them. She says... you'll see in my Week 3 post (which I hope to do soon) that I think I missed on one of my crop outfits.

Sal, I'm so glad somebody else is running out of wiggle room!

Aquamarine, thank you. Yes, those are Freebirds.

Emily, the edginess DID come out a bit, didn't it. Thanks for noticing that, I hadn't, but seeing the pictures all together is different than wearing things each day. I am happy with this amount of edginess in my outfits, and need to remember that. What a fine line, I wish I could put my finger on what makes the difference. Is it chunkier/heavier accessories?

Carla, thank you and no rush! I figured you'd post the 30x30 set once we're done. Thanks for the footwear comment, that's high praise indeed... some ladies here have amazing footwear. I do love shoes

Thank you Diana, Barbara Dianne and Bridgie

Thank you Angie... wow, a killer week, can't get much better than that! I am not growing my hair, I've just been too busy to get it cut. Although this cut was a bit softer than previous. I actually got it cut a few days ago, so it's shorter again now.

Suz

You look amazing in every one of these and totally "you." Your style quotient is through the roof, lady!!

Deborah

Just wanted to see you look amazing in everything!

skylurker

My faves are #5 and #8...great legs!

The Cat

You are looking so lovely. It is hard to pick a favourite. However, it is amazing how well your necklace, your trousers and your sandals all match your hair (#4).

Thank you so much Suz, Deborah, skylurker and The Cat.
