I don't like wearing scarves but love the color and design they bring to an outfit. Maybe I could find a few beautiful printed tops like you are wearing. Both the boots and bag work well with the colors in the top, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-with-a-brooch#post-1888588 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 21:03:14 +0000 Angie 1888588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>I love how your hair mimics the feathers of the brooch.

Love the brooch, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I passed the blouse along to my stepdaughter. It used to be the single most flattering item I had in my closet but it worked better with gold hair than silver. I did keep the matching scarf, though...</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-with-a-brooch#post-1888473 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 16:21:44 +0000 delurked 1888473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the proportions I see. I also like the boot choice. And the brooch looks intentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-wiw-with-a-brooch#post-1888455 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 15:50:52 +0000 Janet 1888455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this on Friday to give a presentation about Cuba to a group of middle schoolers. I managed to snap a quick photo before I left the house that morning, but my hair is still a little damp here. And boy, I cannot wait to get to the salon this week — my greys are taking over! </p> <p>I wanted to wear something that straddled the casual/professional line and hinted at my creative career. I don’t want to overshadow or compete with the vibrant photos I’m showing, but I do want to display some personality. </p> <p>I went with black skinnies, long black vest, patterned blouse, and tall burgundy boots. I pulled out this magnetized brooch I got years ago to punch up the vest a bit and pull out more of the burgundy from the boots. I was standing behind a podium for the talk, so I think this strategy worked.</p> <p>In retrospect, I think the proportions of this vest look better with bootcuts, but I didn’t want to go as casual as blue denim, and I thought long black vest + long black bootcuts would be too much black. </p> <p>It is not necessarily my favorite outfit lately but it worked well enough. I did like wearing the brooch — I think I’ll have to try it on a hat or coat too. </p>
