WIB: Spaghetti Western!! - YouLookFab Forum

Hi Ladies,

Something I have been wanting to add to my Autumn/Winter wardrobe is one of those 'blanket wraps' And there is a chance I may actually add more than one (don't tell anyone lol).

Please note this is not styled. Just popped it on when I got home:)

I was particularly inspired by the pic in #5. I know I don't have her height, model looks or colouring... BUT...sometimes it's fun to take a little step away from your 'usual'.

You may need to sit down as this is the first thing in a long time that is not all black! It does has some black in it tho:) I am not sure how well the colours are coming up but it has black, navy, redish brown, taupe and a green. I think it is very Clint Eastwood from his Spaghetti Western period and I am not big on brown tones but I actually really love it. I also prefer the blanket stitch as opposed to the fringes that are on a lot of ponchos and wraps this season.

What do you think? Have I lost my mind?? Of course I will wear it with black:)

Thanks for looking.

Well done, must be the day for stepping outside signature looks...although there are elements of your style with the draping.

I think it is a fabulous piece and look forward to seeing you style it. It looks warm and cosy which is very appealing.

Astrid

Not what I had expected you to wear, but I think it works for you! I prefer blanket stitch over fringe too. It als looks warm and comfortable...

Nice to change things up, and this looks v cuddly and warm. Funny to see you gals adding to your autumn and winter wardrobes as I'm adding to my spring and summer (although we do have a little layer of snow on the grass this morning).

Vildy

well, I love it.

Aquamarine

Different for you but very dramatic, which you do well! It's nice to step out of the box and I look forward to seeing how you style this, Deborah.

Joyce B

It looks great on you.

kkards

love this! those colors are fab, warm, deep are rich, they show off your column of black to great advantage.

frannieb

Love it - At the end of the season i bought a leopard print wrap and oh my gosh it is hard crushing on it. Wraps have a certain amount of drama and flow which I think go great with your style.
The coloring is different for you but the drape and structure are right up there in your wheelhouse and i think you will style this amazingly.

Sheila

I think this is my MOST favorite item I have seen on you ! It has the drama that suits you and it looks spectacular ! Looks so cozy as well. 5 stars !

Yay, double yay, Deborah -- I so agree with Sheila. This is just AMAZING on you and you look great in those colours. So Autumnal! I very much like the drama of it styled with black (no worries for you given your wardrobe!). As I learned yesterday from my post, it is such a good thing to add these wildcards to the mix for an uplifting sense of fresh. PERFECT!

Yes, it is a surprise to see you in it, but also a big yes and thumbs up! I think it has your drama and it has a healthy dose of black in it too, so will work for you.

Wow, love it. Drape and tonal color and the ability to style it many ways.
I travel with one or two of these, and have for ages. They do give an ethnic vibe, being the basic template for clothes through the ages
Short people look great in these, I think. Our poncho wearing Mexican and South American neighbours are not tall.
Kind of excited to have a wardrobe item in common with one of the more stylish ladies!

Kimberley

Oh my. I love this on you, Deborah! It is dramatic, drapey and delicious.

I like it, because it's your signature look, beautiful and drapey, in a new kind of way! Love the "Spaghetti Western" title!

Elizabeth P

LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It may be a bit different for you, but it's still very you. have fun with it!

Carole

Yes, catchy title, love it! And love the blanket wrap...I think the colors are beautiful and compliment you and your mostly black wardrobe nicely!

shedev

I like it best in picture 3, fun piece.

lyn67

It's the kind of item that makes the outfit on it's own self, and totally matches your all blacks! I looks soft and drapey, so not a chuncky feel, at all. Love it on you(all ways) but curious how will look alike the inspiration pictie. Oh, and can we see the other new blacket, too?

Missey

I love it! I'll admit I was shocked to see autumnal colors when I opened up the photos ;)! Fantastic colorway on you, love the style. Perfect for fall and winter!

kellygirl

It's fabulous! You wear it so well!

Laurie

This is outstanding - it's nice to see some color for you! Beautiful tones with your hair.

amiable

Looks terrific! i think the high drama makes it work for you

columbine(erin)

I like the drama and flair for you of course, but also the coloring looks good with your own. It will look great over your column of color outfits.

Transcona Shannon

Well colour me surprised! This isn't an item I would normally picture for you Deb but wow oh wow...it looks fantastic on you! I especially like how you're wearing it in pic #3. Yeehaw!!!

Firecracker (Sharan)

I agree, the poncho really suits you, Deborah. It is very much your style--imagine it in all black and a silkier fabric, and it is very much you. So it's the color, the blanket-like fabric, and the blanket stitch that are different elements here. I love the different ways you are wearing it--all fab!
And as long as you wear it with black, I don't think you are losing your mind.

jackiec

Oh gosh I love the style for you, but to be completely honest the colour way gives me pause. It's just such a warm toned departure from what I'm used to seeing you in. Not a bad thing, if you love it you should keep it.

texstyle

I like it - it's a fun piece. My only pause is the color combination.

Sara L.

I actually think it goes well with your style - arty and drapey. The colors will look great against black.

Peri

I love it on you, and agree with the idea that it is very much your style. Drapey, soft, dramatic, artsy...how is that not Deborah? I love the colors on you too, and have no issues with it not being black.
