Every piece is in place, but in the end it looks effortless, even simple (until I begin counting layers &amp; accessories). I can see why a big ole scarf, even one with beautiful colors, would feel fussy. If the draping fixes offered here work, great, but please don’t let it get in the way of your super style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961807 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 19:31:13 +0000 Katerina 1961807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are such a stylish lady, Catherine. Your outfits are incredibly elegant and chic. I really like the scarf outfit. Hope you find a comfortable way of wearing that scarf, it is beautiful on you. I also really admire the third outfit - the silhouette is superb. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961607 Fri, 05 Oct 2018 03:50:53 +0000 Jaime 1961607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elegant + interesting - staid = style goals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961522 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 19:45:33 +0000 Gigi 1961522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way the scarf ties in with the shoes, and I'm sorry that you felt uncomfortable with it on. I would try experimenting with different ways of tying the scarf before completely giving up on it. I too have problems with feeling overwhelmed by scarves, and oftentimes just finding a different way to tie it can solve the issue. There are lots of online tutorials for tying scarves...they've helped me tremendously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961485 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 17:26:16 +0000 Jane 1961485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So stylish!

All of these look fantastic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961404 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 12:22:07 +0000 lyn67 1961404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All looks are great-love the bright loafers! I suggest wearing the scarf's 2 sides down like a shawl lepel and not tied up around the neck-still there, but feel less fussy (at least to me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961370 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 09:50:43 +0000 jussie 1961370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think each of these outfits are stunning! Well played. I really like the look of the scarf but you’ve got to be comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961363 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 09:34:02 +0000 Daisy Avalin 1961363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why not try layering the scarf under the jacket collar to fall down the front?&nbsp; I.E. don't tie it at all, use it as decorative almost lapels?&nbsp; The colours looks gorgeous on you but I'm with the other commenters who suggest that wrapping the scarf around your neck doesn't work for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961281 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 00:27:54 +0000 krishnidoux 1961281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Catherine, first of all, you have such a strikingly beautiful neckline. No wonders you don't want to hide it! And you shouldn't either. (lol I notice I'm not the only fabber with this comment!)</p> <p>Although proportions in 2 are exquisite, I feel the larger scarf might be overwhelming the dainty, delicate features of your face. This might maybe be an explanation for your aversion.&nbsp;</p> <p>Favorite one is #1! But all are beautiful.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961275 Thu, 04 Oct 2018 00:10:07 +0000 Anonymous 1961275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfits but sorry the scarf didn’t work for you. Some folks do better with smaller scarves that are less cumbersome while others prefer to use them on bags. Please don’t give up- there is a scarf and a way to wear it that clicks- you just have to find it<br /> Hugs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961268 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 23:50:09 +0000 catherine 1961268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone.

I love 3. The boots add so much to the black/white/grey look.</p> <p>I wear scarves in winter a lot, for warmth and for color. My favorites are giant squares (not too thick) and very long ones. Then wearing them is easy. Any others I have to fiddle with.</p> <p>ETA: also if they’re slippery it’s harder for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961147 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 16:36:08 +0000 Wise Shopper 1961147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think scarves are a matter of getting used to. I rarely wear them myself, but trying to learn. It feels like it's getting on the way and out of place, but I'm not giving up yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961143 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 16:23:15 +0000 Angie 1961143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE YOUR CRISP POLISH. You look gorgeous.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2 is my KILLER fave. Try tying the scarf in a way that is less fussy. I know you'll get used to it.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961137 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 15:40:11 +0000 karen13 1961137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad the scarf was fussy -it looks great and echoed the shoes beautifully. Do you wear necklaces?</p> <p>Love all of these looks, but I am particularly taken with 1. I want to combine black and blue and this looks great! The black shoes complete the look and love the dressy element they bring to the more casual pant. Plus love live live the sleek leather jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/accessory-fail-other-clothes#post-1961135 Wed, 03 Oct 2018 15:27:18 +0000 catherine 1961135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After receiving and appreciating advice from several Wise Ones here, I wore a scarf. Although I liked the color, the scarf was off by 10 am. Too fussy. Guess I’ll continue to admire these on so many of you who wear them so well. Other clothes are the usual. Advice is welcome, and thanks again for all of the inspiration. I couldn’t get dressed without you. </p>
