It is so helpful. It looks like the christening outfit was a success. A "Killer"! I can't wait for an occasion to wear it again.<br /> Today I am wearing some of my oldest EF pieces, but so far so chance of getting a photo. The top and pants are both a soft merino wool in charcoal. I paired the outfit with EF taupe loafers and a taupe bag and a scarf that evokes leopard, also dark pearls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1877769 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 19:37:27 +0000 anchie 1877769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your WIW never disappoints.

I love that tonal ensemble. I do see what you mean about the burgundy boots -- they look like jeans-boots, not skirt-boots, to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1877687 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 16:02:32 +0000 Anonymous 1877687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sterling, you are so kind. Yes, this fall I added some olive and burgundy colors and playing with them keeps this 30X30 interesting for me, at least so far. The olive, burgundy and orange that I had seem to work well together and with my winter neutrals, and both olive and burgundy can function as neutrals too.<br /> Sal, you are right that the last green sweater is new. At NAS I added an olive coat and olive jeans but then wanted an olive winter top. The sweater showed up at The Rack and I hoped it might work and be a new-to-me color to play with. I am not sure what it's EF name is, but it is not "olive".<br /> Brooklyn, thank you. I have made bone my light neutral and collect it when I can. I am glad that you think the boots work with the skirt. They are ECCO and a dark brown. I thought I had a find, but need to look for one or make one. They are several years old now.<br /> Thank you, Katerina and tanstaafl, my scarves are my secret weapon to pull things together. In this case I didn't think the bag was my best choice, but I needed something big enough to carry books and a play script to meetings. This one's size worked best but is more taupe than brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1877639 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 12:54:12 +0000 tanstaafl 1877639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That scarf is beautiful and looks lovely layered with the necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1877621 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 11:41:54 +0000 Katerina 1877621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, the answers are YES and YES! I LOVE this outfit, it suits you perfectly. You look gorgeous!

You look sublime.</p> <p>And I love the olive outfit! I want to copy it. I have similar boots. They are perfect with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1877608 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 10:36:41 +0000 Sal 1877608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a quick note to congratulate you on the christening - and you look so elegant and wonderful in bone.</p> <p>I also love the last outfit - I don't recall seeing you in this green before but it definitely works!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1877604 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 10:31:42 +0000 Anonymous 1877604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AGAIN. &nbsp;I love it. &nbsp;You don't have&nbsp;<i>just</i> a few outfits that are fabulous (like I do). &nbsp;You manage to make <u>every single outfit perfect</u>. &nbsp;You make it look deceptively easy. &nbsp;And yet .... some element is missing when I try to copy your exact looks. &nbsp;</p> <p>Your color palette is interesting too. &nbsp;It seems you are adding a variety of colors. &nbsp;Yet they all seem to coordinate. &nbsp;Do I have that right? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1877585 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 06:54:39 +0000 Anonymous 1877585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day 10: I am adding an olive pullover merino sweater. This outfit got lots of compliments and happiness was high.<br /> What do you think? Does the scarf work to pull the colors together? Are the boots ok with this skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1877105 Wed, 10 Jan 2018 00:37:37 +0000 Anonymous 1877105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Windchime, Karen and Elizabeth. Windchime and Karen, finding a new way to wear a scarf can make it feel new again. Today I am wearing a rather large scarf muffler style and it has gotten lots of compliments. I am using the colors in the print to bring some unity to burgundy leather skirt with an olive sweater and tall brown boots. (Photo 2)<br /> I love that my outfit evoked the word " scrumptious "! You are right that I have other footwear options. Today I am repeating the leather skirt, but this time with tall dark brown riding boots. ( photo 1) Much better, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1876984 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 19:10:46 +0000 Elizabeth P 1876984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Joy, you look absolutely scrumptious in these outfits.&nbsp; I'm not sure I've ever used that word to describe clothes before, but it jumped into my head, esp at that Christening outfit.&nbsp; I love your tonal reds as well.</p> <p>Agree that the boots aren't quite right with the skirt - but you have lots of options :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1876964 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 18:30:23 +0000 karen13 1876964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for 1/2! You are perfection in that. And I agree that the burgundy boots need more "leg volume" - your slim ankles don't have enough visual weight to offset.</p> <p>I'm going to study your WIWs for scarf ideas - I have not been a frequent wearer - they often feel "too much" on me, but I love the way you wear them so effortlessly. I may just need to find a JFE ( or at least more flattering) way to wear them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1876879 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:04:48 +0000 Windchime 1876879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit for the christening, Joy! I love all of it--the cream, the layers and textures, the silver shoes, and your gorgeous scarf.</p> <p>I have a fair-trade scarf very similar to yours from 10,000 Villages. I usually wrap mine as you did in 3 and 4, but I also like how yours looks in 5 and 6. I'm going to try that with mine.</p> <p>Rock on with your 30 x 30! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1876864 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:36:04 +0000 Anonymous 1876864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Sarah. Yes, the Munro flats work well with the skirt. I should have worn them but use a shoe horn to put them on and did not have it handy. (Reminder to chain it to my closet bench). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1876860 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:22:24 +0000 SarahD8 1876860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coming late to this, but wanted to add my applause for the christening outfit especially. I can't wait to see what else you do with these pieces.</p> <p>I agree re: the boots, they are more made for pants to my eye (or maybe a short skirt?). Would the skirt work with the Munro flats? They both look asymmetrical in a similar way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1876835 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 13:56:49 +0000 Anonymous 1876835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you each for your comments and suggestions.<br /> The bone/cream outfit had a high happiness factor. I am glad you liked it.<br /> Finding this shade of white was a happy accident, and it mixes well with other whites and light neutrals. For this challenge, I will be experimenting with pairing it with darker neutrals and colors.<br /> Jenni, those burgundy boots are definitely better with pants. Mainelady, burgundy tights are a good idea. I will have to look for some.<br /> Sterling and Katerina, you made my day! Thank you.<br /> Sterling, I think that you would enjoy using scarves. There are many sizes, shapes, and fabrics. If one seems too fussy, try a different fabric.<br /> I often copy photos of outfits for future use but need to learn to put them in an album as they get lost in general photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1876832 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 13:53:20 +0000 lyn67 1876832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, winter white is so special(nr 1-2)c I actually loved the edge added by the boots in nr 3-4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1876803 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 11:57:56 +0000 Toban 1876803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Comfy elegance!

Absolute perfection! Your other outfits a beautiful, too. I really like the burgundy skirt with the booties. I don’t think your feet look big.

So pretty and soft, perfect for the christening.<br /> I agree with you about the boots looking too big with that black skirt. Those boots need pants I reckon?<br /> Going great guns on your 30 by 30! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/30x30-days-789#post-1876779 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 08:34:27 +0000 Katerina 1876779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!!!

What I wore to DGD Miriam's christening. These are layered EF bone pieces worn with a creme and grey scarf, pearls, and silver pointy flats. These pieces were warm enough for a chilly day and soft enough to cuddle a baby. I am not sure what to do about making them part of my 30X30 but think I will keep the skirt, pullover and jacket and work to mix them with other pieces. Later I changed to olive jeans and red-or and burgundy sweater already in the 30X30 but did not get a photo.<br /> 3/4: Sunday for church and brunch. Leather in very deep burgundy, EF merino asymmetrical sweater, I don't think the burgundy booties looked right with the skirt. My feet look huge.<br /> 5/6: same EF sweater and 10,000 Villages scarf with the olive jeans.<br /> 7/8: casual outfit today for cleaning. Burgundy jeans with the floral top used befor over the black turtleneck, burgundy and browns Munro flats. Later I added a thin leopard scarf for some pattern mixing.<br /> I will add what finds I have later plus a complete list of items now in the 30X30.<br /> I will also add more of my outfits to this thread.<br /> I welcome your thoughts and suggestions. </p>
