Angie's MOTG formulas - your updates for 2014?

Helena

Hi everyone,

The reason I got hooked onto this blog is because I stumbled on Angie's MOTG formulas (link) and they were so great and actually worked for my real life (many, many kudos to Angie for not trying to convince me I can totally wear heels to the park! I'm looking at you Stacy and Clinton!!!)

I'm sure many moms and others with casual lifestyles have used these formulas over the years, but as they are now about five years old, wondering how you are tweaking them to keep them fresh? Or any you would change? I'm so trend-challenged, I have no idea what might need to be updated.

Thanks for weighing in!

Ohh, I will be following this discussion. I too found the blog from the MOTG formulas. I haven't fully utilized them because I am wearing winter boots and my parka every single day! But now that I am out of the baby stage with my last I am looking to be a bit more put together than jeans and a plain knit shirt.

Sarah, yes, it's tough in winter ... when it all gets hidden in boots and puffers and snow-pants it can be hard (for me) to get it together!

I'm sort of thinking the overall formulas themselves are still sold but some of the pieces might need a refresh perhaps ...

Glad it's of interest!!

Torontogirl, the formulas are updated weekly, and found in the Ensembles Category. Not in the MOTG category. It's better that way because it covers ALL people who dress casually. I include a casual rendition in most ensemble formulas. Have another look at the weekly ensembles. There are so many of them.

My first thoughts were mixed media, booties, and fluid fit tops.

I got hooked through the MOTG formulas too. Spent a lot of time studying them, lol. They were so great for me because they really boiled the process down and clarified it for me. I see them as classic templates and you can colour them in how you want, according to the times, etc.

In any case, my updates are purging all the little girl sweetness from my look (so over that) and slip on sneakers (not that I'll ever abandon the chucks). I'm also over the grey boyfriend sweater for my tunic sweater. Pine green is my colour now.

Besides which, my dog ate my grey one... maybe third time will be the charm and I'll remember to check my pockets for dog treats. Should I mention that the first topper doggie took care of was my little girl Marc Jacobs hoodie?

Everybody's a fashion critic!!
