Better late than never, I hope.</p> <p>Another who likes the brogues with the jeans - texture rich and interesting. Super layering in #2 too. Well done.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you wear a soft scarf that collapses back onto the body&nbsp;with the loop hung low around the neck&nbsp;- you'll elongate the neckline and prevent boob-interference if that makes sense. I have a client who is your body double and that's how we solved her scarf challenge. She also wears chunky scarves without tying them at all - like you are here.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-casual-layers#post-1116466 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 17:59:13 +0000 Lisa 1116466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun shoes!&nbsp; And I really like how you tied the scarf, very clever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-casual-layers#post-1116371 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 16:34:20 +0000 E 1116371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MG, lol on so many things in your reply! Crotchular...that must be the anthropology term, right? I too have a short neck &amp; genetic double chin (no jowls yet but I'm sure they're in my future), and I find as long as I don't loop it tightly, it works. Sort of 2 loose wraps a bit lower on the chest, around the collarbone area. That being said, I don't have enormous boobs, so I don't know how that affects things. For what it's worth, I don't think that letting it hang vertically draws much attention to your bits. Just that the scarf plus open shirt plus open jacket was a lot of vertical lines &amp; it might be interesting to see a rounder line as contrast. But I love it just the way you wore it too!</p> <p>P.S.: I just looked at the pics again &amp; I see no double chin/jowl in evidence! Which is impressive as mine loves to ambush me in photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-casual-layers#post-1116249 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 14:04:26 +0000 MuseumGal 1116249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all!</p> <p>Bethanne, I have been on the lookout for a dark chambray shirt FOREVER.&nbsp; I'm being picky, because I want one without breast pockets, and they are scarcer than hens teeth!</p> <p>Shevia and E, I have been reluctant to loop scarves around my neck, because I have a short neck, a double chin and jowls, and enormous boobs.&nbsp; But somebody else suggested in a previous post with a long scarf that the ends of the scarf were drawing attention to the crotchular area, so next time I wear a scarf I will try some looping.&nbsp; Now that I have several silk scarves instead of the bulkier cotton ones I've had for so long, I'll do some experimenting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-casual-layers#post-1116181 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 07:37:52 +0000 E 1116181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! Those trousers are so fun. I agree with Shevia that it'd be neat to see the scarf up around your neck, infinity/cowl style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-casual-layers#post-1116116 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 05:16:28 +0000 Beth Ann 1116116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your take on Angie's formula!&nbsp; The color in the tee is one of your best, I think.&nbsp; With your love of boho, I hope you have both light and dark denim/chambray shirts!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-casual-layers#post-1116042 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 04:03:21 +0000 Parsley 1116042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a fun take on Angie's formula with the floral pants and brogues! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-casual-layers#post-1116038 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 04:00:32 +0000 Anonymous 1116038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the pants and shoes! And it's fun to see such a great boho variation on this outfit formula! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-casual-layers#post-1115967 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 02:50:07 +0000 Anonymous 1115967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend of mine has the same brogues and I love them! I like your interpretation of the outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-casual-layers#post-1115961 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 02:46:08 +0000 Jaime 1115961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had me with the brogues! You look&nbsp;very good and the only thing I would play with is the scarf - I sort of want to see it wrapped around your neck. But keep in mind&nbsp;I am terrible with scarves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-casual-layers#post-1115885 Tue, 17 Dec 2013 01:44:24 +0000 MuseumGal 1115885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It got up in the 60's today, so I wanted to wear my neglected navy floral pants (which frustratingly photograph as black) and equally neglected black brogues.&nbsp; I paired them with a navy LS v neck T shirt, and over that a faded chambray shirt.&nbsp; Simple hoop earring and a long lapiz heart necklace completed the look.&nbsp; I looked in the mirror and thought, "Didn't Angie have an outfit based around layering a chambray shirt over a T??"&nbsp; I looked up the post, and then threw on my ancient black leather jacket and a silk scarf as suggested.&nbsp; This isn't exactly what Angie prescribed since my jeans are not black and my leather jacket isn't cropped, but it gets all the layers in.&nbsp; I quite liked this and felt both comfortable and reasonably stylish all day.</p> <p>Thanks for looking and suggestions always welcome. </p>
