Just for fun - old WIW - YouLookFab Forum

Sorry, no new outfits to share. But I was browsing through some old travel pics and had a laugh, did I really wear this out in public? What was I thinking? It's ALMOST as if my outfits ruin the happy memories, but thankfully I have a sense of humor.

I can't pretend I wore this because of lack of effort or budget. I was already spending quite a bit. This is also not THAT long ago (2014-ish), so I can't say I was young and stupid either (hah).

I feel I've already come a long way, and now I'm even more exited about striving for better style. As often is stressed in these parts of the web: Style takes time. So I am patient.

1-2: My DH treated me to a trip to New York. I mean NY! I actually really tried to bring my best clothes, I guess I wanted to look sorta "hip". And I needed comfortable clothes for walking around all day. I cringe of the fact I wore leggings as pants.

2: A really nice trip. Why did I think wearing this old sweater full of pills was acceptable? And I need to never wear sneakers again.

4-5. Amazing scenery! But what on earth is that outfit? The jacket doesn't even fit! And again with the sneakers... ugh.

Oh Synne you are being waaaay to hard on yourself. First, these outfits have some great colors and are obviously practical, note the sneakers, which I love.

I look at these and see a lovely young woman with an active lifestyle and other priorities. Your body language is kind of unsure which makes you look all the sweeter. These are super cute pictures of happy times.

Haha we all have some pics like these and mine would be much worse!!

I think 1 is a good travel look. I also think 3 and 4 are not that bad - the sweater is a bit pilled but when travelling sometimes old is good:)

And I have (and still do) wear leggings for active travelling.

I cringe at the thought I went to the opera in Prague in birkenstocks. And went nightclubbing in Copenhagen in leggings and running sneakers.

My worst one was wearing an unsuitable dress to a business tradeshow in the UK. The dress was very nice but it was sleeveless (everyone else was in suits). And I arrived in the middle of a torrential downpour with dripping wet hair and arms...it was very very embarrassing.

It was a long time ago, but I used to live in NYC, on the Upper West Side. After that, my folks moved nearby and I went into the city frequently whenever I visited them. To me, your outfits just look like you live in the neighborhood - a local and not a tourist.

You look cute in these pictures, Synne, thank you for sharing them and your travel story! You ARE to hard on yourself here.
When looking at these older pictures and comparing them with the outfits you have posted the other day, your style has evolved a lot. I look forward to follow your style journey and hope to see more of your outfits soon!
