It's really, really good to get everyone's take here. </p> <p><b>efbgen</b>, I definitely feel very elegant in #4, and if the weather allows I'll go with it (it needs to be warm enough that the jacket would be enough outdoors). </p> <p><b>jussie</b>, that's interesting! That sweater is still a contender because it's so easy to layer under a coat.</p> <p><b>The Cat</b>, so glad the last one looks good! It's my personal favorite of the bunch, but also the one that makes me wonder if I'm going too far. It is a conference where there will be some artsy types, so it won't be totally out of place... I think!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908630 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 22:44:06 +0000 The Cat 1908630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5/6 is fantastic. (Not to busy/quirky.) Elegant in a unique way. Go for it if you want to impress! #4 is more sporty, but also very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908587 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 21:20:46 +0000 jussie 1908587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Each of them works....just depends what look you would like to create. Probably if it were me I would go with the second sweater from the first set of pics, but that’s just a personal taste thing. All are good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908574 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 21:01:44 +0000 Anonymous 1908574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All 3 looks work. 4 is beyond fabulous.<br /> I like the sweater look in 1 but 2&amp;3 makes me wonder if belt might help better showcase your great figure<br /> I would have never thought to try 5/6 either but it certainly works<br /> Great job on working that beautiful skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908522 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 19:58:30 +0000 K.M. 1908522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, now some other topper options... </p> <p>#1, 2, 3 is an open-front fluffy-yarn oatmeal cardi from H&amp;M. It has that oversized, dropped-shoulder cut. A bit on the frumpy side? Advantage: it's warm and cozy and easy to wear under a winter coat.</p> <p>#4 is a faux-leather cream jacket from Zara from a few years ago. Problem with this: would be hard to layer under a winter coat, but there's a chance the weather will be a bit warmer by then and it could be my outerwear.</p> <p># 5, 6. It's a fine-wale cord jacket with a paisley print in jewel tones. I tried it on not expecting much, but to my surprise I kind of like it. I think the shape/cut is perfect with the skirt, I'm just wondering if it's too busy/quirky? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908517 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 19:44:30 +0000 K.M. 1908517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Katerina</b>, thank you! It definitely fits my tastes and way of dressing!</p> <p><b>krishnidoux</b>, you hit the nail in the head! I hadn't realized this is what was bothering me, i.e. the outfit is missing something to make it pop. I guess that's why I was a bit disappointed when I put it on. I'll have to dust off my earring collection (and hope that A) my holes haven't closed up; B) my ears don't react to an earring after years of not wearing one...) Or would a necklace work? </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908437 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 17:07:20 +0000 krishnidoux 1908437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it's nice!&nbsp;<br />I tried to put myself in your shoes and imagine why the outfit would sound exciting in theory and you would feel a sort of let down once on (if I understand well what you are saying).&nbsp;<br />I think you would like an accessory, a third piece like jewel, hat, purse, belt... something that would pick up the burgundy or the orange, and/or even bring a third color.&nbsp;<br />But I find the outfit brilliant as is also. And the neutral turtleneck topper is very cute too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908413 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 16:12:24 +0000 Katerina 1908413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No 1 looks really fabulous, the combination suits you really well. I like no 2 very much too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908403 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 15:32:49 +0000 K.M. 1908403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! So happy that this outfit works. I have an event this coming week and was planning on wearing this. </p> <p><b>Barbara Diane,</b> thanks!</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, so glad you approve Whenever I get dressed I always wonder, What would Angie think?... (on some less inspired days, my answer is something like, I hope Angie would never see me in this...)</p> <p><b>jussie</b>, I love your offbeat comment--it definitely suits my personality and my tastes! (And even the professional event I'm attending--I always feel like an outsider as my work is also offbeat--so this is perfect :)&nbsp; )</p> <p><b>Cardiff girl</b>, yes, I remember Angie's post--I loved it since this is one of my favorite combos--but in this case I wasn't sure about the shape, drape, fit, proportions of things (not so much the color).</p> <p><b>The Cat</b>, yes--I am not happy about hiding my pumpkin top (which was a HUGE trouble to find in the first place!). I might come back here with other topper options. I'm terrible with toppers (both in terms of having options and styling what I have).</p> <p><b>unfrumped</b>, interesting comment about Fall colors... right now our Spring is feeling just like Winter, so I might as well evoke my favorite season. </p> <p><b>Jane</b>, I also love food-inspired colors!!! Anything that is called vanilla, toffee, chocolate, caramel, berry... (I've also worn outfits that remind me of shortbread or a chocolate sundae )</p> <p>Now on to finding some topper options in my wardrobe... </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908384 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 14:57:12 +0000 Jane 1908384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colours, and 1 and 2 look very good to me. (I like colours that are food related!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908374 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 14:38:35 +0000 unfrumped 1908374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes # 1 looks great, especially good with your coloring- a very rich, warm fall color look.<br /> I also really like the first gray sweater, sort of cropped, as the proportions are very pleasing, perhaps conventionally so but works great and give a different option for the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908371 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 14:33:08 +0000 The Cat 1908371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is gorgeous! I think it would be a pity to hide that beautiful colour combo under another turtleneck, and suggest a cardigan, blazer, bomber jacket or another kind of jacket, worn open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908277 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 09:15:21 +0000 Cardiff girl 1908277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes it works ,lovely outfits.Angie did an ensemble post last year on pumpkin ,burgundy and berry if you are interested to look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908256 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 08:06:27 +0000 jussie 1908256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I also think it works. And either sweater is fine too. It’s offbeat but in the exact right way iykwim! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908233 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 05:00:54 +0000 Angie 1908233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES. #1 works very well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908195 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 03:20:23 +0000 Barbara Diane 1908195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skirt and all the tops with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908194 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 03:07:37 +0000 K.M. 1908194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>efbgen</b>, my pics are very bad in terms of color accuracy. I really should get a better camera and maybe a little tripod because I can never represent my clothes accurately here! (also the iPhone never focuses where I want it to...) I'm happy to hear the skirt looks good! The skirt shape is probably what I'm second-guessing the most. I love it personally but I haven't seen a lot of swishy skirts like this so it made me wonder...</p> <p><b>lisa p</b>., thank you! I love your style so I appreciate your comment. Interesting re: the gray sweater. In theory I thought the second one would be best, and I only put on the first on a whim. Surprisingly the volume works better than the long and lean lines of the second. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908178 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 02:28:16 +0000 Anonymous 1908178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very chic and interesting combo with the pumpkin . Love it . I like the first grey sweater the best here ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908174 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 02:21:53 +0000 Anonymous 1908174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think so. Knowing nothing about photography the pictures have a brightness to them that makes determining if colors in #1- go or clash difficult to tell for sure. But on a glance it seems so- maybe in daylight?<br /> That said- what a great skirt. I think all the tops look fab with it.<br /> It has to warm up soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-it-work-burgundy-velvet-skirt-pumpkin-top#post-1908171 Sat, 14 Apr 2018 02:06:41 +0000 K.M. 1908171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does this outfit work to your eyes? It's a thin jersey turtleneck (pumpkin-colored) with a burgundy velvet skirt, plus burgundy tights and burgundy sock booties.</p> <p>I like it in theory but I once I put it on I second-guessed myself.</p> <p>Also I am trying to figure out a topper since it's still cold where I live. Considering one of these two gray turtlenecks as a topper if it gets chilly inside (with a winter or raincoat on top of it all). </p> <p>Help...! And thanks! </p>
