It’s been a big week.</p> <p>Thanks SF! So true about nature.</p> <p>Thanks Gigi, shevia, Kerlyn and Smittie!</p> <p>Thanks Sterling! You are right, having articulated the look that I am going for does help to keep me on task. Otherwise I get attracted to too many things.</p> <p>Thanks JG! I would have thought that you could wear these colours? I am often attracted to colours that are not my best colours. Pale grey for example. And I often wish that I had dark hair or platinum blonde hair so that black would suit me better. But I have tried both (hair colours that is) and they were fails :(</p> <p>Thanks Lisa, Lisa p and Sara!</p> <p>Thanks Angie! You are so supportive! I adore your graphic print dress and scarf. I actually looked it up on a Dutch website so I could get a closer look at the dress and the brand. (Stalker!) I also love those Mondrian style shift dresses that were big in the 60s. Pucci too. Yum!</p> <p>Thanks Joy, Fashiontern, KG and Lyn!</p> <p>Thanks UF! I agree that brown tones look super luxe in leather. I also love bronze tones. I pinned the photo below for inspiration next autumn/winter. I am ready for a brown comeback!</p> <p>Thanks Bijou! It will be great to see more of those colours at retail next year. I did buy an olive jacket from Witchery recently but I may not get that much wear out of it during summer. It’s a nice change from black and grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh/page/2#post-1862883 Thu, 23 Nov 2017 10:04:12 +0000 Style Fan 1862883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a sweet doggie!&nbsp; Nature gives us the best inspiration.&nbsp; We do have Aussie Cattle dogs in Canada.&nbsp; They are lovely.&nbsp; That caramel jacket is so gorgeous on you.&nbsp; I love it paired with black.&nbsp; So striking.&nbsp; Denim and caramel are also a beautiful combination.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862881 Thu, 23 Nov 2017 09:38:43 +0000 Gigi 1862881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous in that jacket! My faves are 3 and 9, but all are good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862849 Thu, 23 Nov 2017 03:41:50 +0000 Jaime 1862849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a brilliant mix of colors (neutrals?) for you. The tan works beautifully with your hair and coloring and let's the graphic patterns and textures shine. All fantastic! We should all take color schemes from animals! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862817 Thu, 23 Nov 2017 01:23:26 +0000 kerlyn 1862817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your blacks and burgundies, but WOW! &nbsp;You look amazing in those warm brown tones! &nbsp;I'm a huge fan of mixing black and brown, and you're doing it beautifully here. &nbsp;Earthy, edgy, interesting. &nbsp;SO good.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862815 Thu, 23 Nov 2017 01:09:07 +0000 Brooklyn 1862815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, thanks everyone! As Jenn says, I suspected the pup would be a good conversation starter. Such a cutie patootie!</p> <p>Thanks Aida. Those tall boots are a long time favourite, and going to need replacing soon. It's interesting that lots of people are saying that they match the jacket. They are actually a warm taupe colour (not a tan or toffee) that is VERY hard to find. We like taupe, don't we Aida? It is an undervalued neutral I think. And I agree with you that the lighter browns can read "nude" for summer. Your analysis is always so good.</p> <p>Thanks the Cat! You are very kind! I don't think I am going to give up the black and white outfits altogether. Something about bold black and white makes me feel confident. But I agree the earthy tones are far more flattering on me and I am going to work them in when I can.</p> <p>Thanks Jenn! Look at those black/brown markings around the puppy's eyes. Could there be a better recommendation for this colour pairing?&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks Sally. Yes, the colour palette is tight, tight, tight. Otherwise, my wardrobe would explode!&nbsp; I also wore a lot more brown about 15 years ago. I had a beautiful brown velvet (!) coat. I still remember it with fondness (I wore it until it was threadbare).</p> <p>Thanks Srah, delurked and Toban!</p> <p>Thanks SL, I like old school style! And I have never been called mysterious before! I am going to tell DH that (he is always telling me I would make a terrible poker player).&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks Dana! I wasn't sure whether you have cattle dogs in the US. They are great dogs. So loyal and nuggety.</p> <p>I will be back soon :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862787 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 23:05:09 +0000 Aida 1862787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love!! Fabulous all around. Your approach to these browns is very similar to mine -- with a strong nod to "natural" elements (in my case, my browns are pretty much all leathers). I also love pairing mine with black+white, my current preferred way to wear B&amp;W these days. Having a good pair of tall brown boots helps a ton, doesn't it! This "earthy fresh" color capsule translates really nicely to summer, by the way, especially if you go lighter on the black, heavier on the white, and add in a healthy dose of whatever metal you wear (I like gold ^^). These browns end up reading a bit like a "nude" when lots of skin is showing. Looking forward to seeing "rich fresh" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862759 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 21:58:48 +0000 The Cat 1862759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, I am glad to see you wearing more tan and earthy colours, because they harmonize so beautifully with your personal colours. While you seem to love black &amp; white ensembles, they somehow look "unrelated" to yourself UNLESS you add one of your best colours. These pictures are clear evidence. When you're wearing the tan jacket, we see YOU, not just a chic ensemble. Bookending your hair with boots in the same colour is also a great idea.</p> <p>In short, you look GORGEOUS when repeating your personal colours in your outfits. Don't hesitate to do that as often as possible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862751 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 21:44:34 +0000 Jenn 1862751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You knew you were going to grab us all with that sweet pup, didn't you?</p> <p>It's probably no surprise that I adore the black/brown combination. This seems like a great way to transition through autumn, replacing your colorful florals with more muted tones. I lean towards the looks with more black, but I also really like #9/10! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862739 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 20:02:10 +0000 Sal 1862739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A wonderful unique set of looks here Brooklyn.&nbsp; I like them all but have a special fondness for the flares:)</p> <p>The colour palette is lovely and a great way to make earthy tones feel more like you.&nbsp; I used to have a jacket very similar shades (it was about 1992 so it has long gone) that I wore with black and blue and white and loved it.</p> <p>You do have a real knack for wearing your signature style and evolving it - and introducing new pieces that mix brilliantly.&nbsp; I think keeping the colour palette tight is one reason you are successful.&nbsp; Lots of blacks, whites, browns, burgundies, denim and olive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862729 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 19:39:07 +0000 Nomad 1862729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Skylurker's comment about having an indefinable factor that's all your own. I love when you post WIWs; you always look effortlessly polished but there's never ever a dull outfit in the bunch... you choose and combine colors and silhouettes and details and patterns in the most interesting and tasteful ways.</p> <p>Also, that pup is adorable, even to a complete cat person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862716 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 19:05:40 +0000 delurked 1862716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Skylurker, my favorite is also 9/10. Probably because as hot as it is here, it would get more use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862714 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 19:04:21 +0000 skylurker 1862714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, toffee was made for you.<br /> I love, love, #9-10, the colours of the top are so beautiful on you, the jeans are a super flattering fit, and you’re complementing expertly like an Angie love the cuff, boots, and bag combo.<br /> There’s something old school, classic and professional, in your looks (skirts, flares, jackets, jewellery) mixed with that special Brooklyn factor that’s difficult to define : something mysterious and moody (the space dye for instance), without being dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862699 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 18:11:57 +0000 Toban 1862699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning!

You have the best style. I always enjoy seeing your outfits. I am IN LOVE with that pup. I had a red heeler, but I'm drawn to the blue ones too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862673 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 16:42:45 +0000 Anonymous 1862673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black and white sleeveless turtle neck.

It's a done deal when the palette reminds you of a doggie ....(mine would be the resemblance to a Yorkie, and the cattle pup is ADORABLE.....)</p> <p>Good grief. Do you ever rock Toffee and Cinnamon. Soooo gorgeous with your hair. WOW. I can't pick a favourite. I vote KILLER all round, and nice resurrection from the late Spring pile.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862621 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 15:03:08 +0000 Anonymous 1862621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That pup is so adorable and a great inspiration for combining neutrals.

I think cognac- type browns are an excellent “ weight” of earthy neutral for your coloring and also is a very rich classic color for leather goods. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862577 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 11:37:51 +0000 Bijou 1862577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aussie cattle dogs are wonderful and so is your capsule! Earthy colours are beautiful on you. I do like them mixed with the grey and white, as it does add that fresh element that works so beautifully for spring.&nbsp;</p> <p>From seeing the colours coming through for next winter (olive and burgundy in particular), I can see these working beautifully for you. It is fun to see how you are transforming your winter look into spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/earthy-fresh#post-1862571 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 11:19:06 +0000 Brooklyn 1862571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>He he, I think you joke Sisi, but I quite like some shades of pink. But not all of them like me! Then there is the challenge of what colours to wear them with. Neutrals are easier! Thanks for your comments. </p>
