The best collection of terracotta pieces ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-essentials#post-2097766 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 14:40:25 +0000 SarahD8 2097766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was so interesting to read, Jenn. I think you are spot on about the terra-cotta/rust. Great food for thought. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-essentials#post-2097704 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 04:28:08 +0000 rachylou 2097704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must say your terracotta is a beautiful gorgeous neutral. Also, it occurs to me that a neutral and essential don't have to be the same. Like red can be a neutral but it can't be quiet like an essential...</p> <p>Lol, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-essentials#post-2097693 Fri, 07 Feb 2020 04:13:08 +0000 Jaime 2097693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know just what you mean about the graphic tee that actually serves as outfit glue. I don't have that, but feel like my hoop earrings serve that function - changing the tone of my outfits to make them more me. Terracotta is the perfect backdrop for your outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-essentials#post-2097645 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 22:49:44 +0000 Jenn 2097645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, there you have it, then! Here are my other essentials, for those who like seeing them all together. I included one graphic tee, which might not seem like an essential, but it's my go-to...the one I pair with a print skirt or statement topper. I do have a small collection of other graphic tees, but only one makes the list. </p> <p></p> <p>(And Angie, TOO FUNNY about navy being Greg's "light" neutral.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-essentials#post-2097628 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 21:28:02 +0000 The Cat 2097628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terracotta, rust and the like are so beautiful, in particular on those who have the "right" colouring to wear them well, and I believe you are among those lucky ones. These colours can be quite versatile, so yes, great neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-essentials#post-2097609 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 20:30:46 +0000 Helena 2097609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenn, I would say definitely - and a beautiful colour it is; so fresh.</p> <p>Angie, that is funny about Greg! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-essentials#post-2097602 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 20:19:45 +0000 Angie 2097602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>I had a thought, though. Is it possible that terracotta/rust/clay is functioning as my "light" neutral right now?</i></p> <p>YES. Of course! Why not - and loving it for you. Sooo <b>Jenn</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>Greg's light neutral is navy. (I'm not joking...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-essentials#post-2097596 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 19:55:23 +0000 Synne 2097596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That gorgeous terracotta is probably my favourite colour. And I have ZERO of that in my wardrobe. Huh... Very educational to see yours and others finely curated collections. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-essentials#post-2097593 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 19:37:43 +0000 Jenn 2097593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking about trying white again this year, but for the last couple of years, the clay has stood in nicely as a base for summer outfits. I don't really wear it in the winter, but it's pretty telling how every section of my closet has a bit of clay and a bit of black next to the patterned pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-essentials#post-2097589 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 19:27:24 +0000 Suz 2097589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenn</b>, my guess is yes. Maybe not "light" but "mid-toned" &nbsp;neutral (which for you is about as light as you go except for accents.) At times, grey has filled a similar role in my own closet. I didn't include greys in my current collection because while they are important, they have not been essential to me this past year.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-essentials#post-2097588 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 19:25:08 +0000 Anonymous 2097588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! That's a "light" neutral to me too Anything lighter I consider a statement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/2020-essentials#post-2097586 Thu, 06 Feb 2020 19:22:16 +0000 Jenn 2097586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I put together a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/finds/collections/?collection=8179">collection</a> of my essentials a few weeks ago when we were discussing 5-Piece-French. It's mostly jeans, some cognac leather, black dresses, and black tops.</p> <p>I had a thought, though. &nbsp;Is it possible that terracotta/rust/clay is functioning as my "light" neutral right now? And, if so, would that make these pieces into essentials in my current wardrobe? </p>
