Let's face facts. It's not <b>just</b> that the scarf is gorgeous.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's that it looks gorgeous on <b>YOU</b>. The colours and your complexion are like magic!</p> <p>I also think you wear #3 brilliantly.&nbsp;</p> <p>So whatever you call it, rock on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1408826 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:38:42 +0000 Caro 1408826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh that scarf is GORGEOUS! I would have snatched it up too! And I think your outfit looks very handsome and smart, not at all hippy-ish. I see what you mean about the scarf, and it could be used with another outfit for a hippie look, but I don't think that is what we get from the black outfit at all. And, there is a difference between your Janis outfit and this outfit. You look great both ways actually! </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1408819 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:23:49 +0000 Janet 1408819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am fond of peacock prints myself, so I'm biased. I love the scarf, and you wear it well, regardless of who you might be channeling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1408807 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 12:30:35 +0000 lyn67 1408807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love nr 3 dearly, and why not trying to customize it for your&nbsp;everyday life??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1408656 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 02:25:14 +0000 MuseumGal 1408656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad to get some scarf and Janis love!&nbsp; Thanks Thistle, Firecracker, shevia, tulle, kkards, Diane G, Ms.Mary, rachylou</p> <p>Today I was trying to show off the pretty scarf, but in the future, I will definitely try tying it like a cravat as alaskagirl, Laura, columbine, E suggests.</p> <p>Ha, Angie, #3 is a costume, but I do wish I could dress like that every day and get away with it!</p> <p>Sterling and dianthus, I have this theory that if you wear a strong lipstick, it fools people into thinking you have taken the time to "do" your face.&nbsp; Apparently it's working, because I'm only wearing a little mascara and "True Red" lipstick (L'Oreal).&nbsp; I hate the way base feels on my face and almost never wear it.&nbsp; And I don't understand how to wear blush.&nbsp; When I try it, I either look like a clown, or like I have 80s racing stripes (remember that look?).</p> <p>And Beth Ann, I'll take Joan and/or Joni any day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1408410 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 18:40:42 +0000 Beth Ann 1408410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, I'm getting more Joan Baez here, or Joni Mitchell.&nbsp; </p> <p>Your look in #1 isn't reading Edwardian Gentleman to me, and his has a bit of the boho, but it's quite elegant.&nbsp; More Joan Baez at a booksigning, or Joni Mitchell at an Art Gallery.&nbsp; Either way, you look beautiful!&nbsp; And Janis Joplin is a natural for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1408397 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 18:28:28 +0000 rachylou 1408397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>Have you ever thought you were rockin' one look and then realized you<br /> were actually totally rockin' something entirely different?<br /> </i></p> <p>To my chagrin, yes All the time.</p> <p>The Janis peace-out is a totally hilarious shot.

Such lovely colours on you and it looks great with the jacket too. #3 is a hoot..you were made for that look, so fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1408217 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 14:48:07 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1408217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree with the others here. &nbsp;The colors and pattern are beautiful and you nailed the proportions. &nbsp;I had to go back and check out the make-up after reading Sterling's comment. &nbsp;The sign of great make-up is that you don't notice it until you look. &nbsp;Great job on that as well. &nbsp;Two thumbs up here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1408150 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 13:00:35 +0000 Anonymous 1408150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I should comment on your outfit, but your makeup takes my breath away. &nbsp;I wish with all my heart you could sit down with me and hold my hand while you taught me how to do my own makeup. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1408141 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 12:44:24 +0000 E 1408141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol!</p> <p>I love your outfit regardless. What delicious colours! I also like the idea of styling the scarf more cravat like to add a gentlemanly touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1408117 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 11:37:33 +0000 kkards 1408117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>totally Janis, but totally fab!&nbsp;<br />IMO, a reminder why descriptors should be guides and not definitive rules. maybe this isn't edwardian gentleman, but you look great, and totally rocking this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1408047 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 06:01:59 +0000 tulle 1408047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look exactly like you--and stunning.

But you look so fantastic, whatever look it is that you're rockin' here. Just gorgeous! That scarf is magical on you, and I love it with the teal blazer and more sombre supporting act. And you are one fabulous Janis, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1407991 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 04:09:25 +0000 MsMary 1407991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You say "Janis Joplin" like it's a <i>bad </i>thing<i>...</i>&nbsp; ;)</p> <p>I think you look fab!&nbsp; That is one seriously gorgeous scarf.&nbsp; I might wear it as you have it in #2, but with the loop a little looser and lower. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1407963 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 03:24:57 +0000 columbine(erin) 1407963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are some fun ideas on Pinterest.

I like the peacock scarf too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1407959 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 03:20:38 +0000 columbine(erin) 1407959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh. I like the colors of the scarf on you against a dark backdrop. I agree with AK. Have fun tying that gorgeous scarf various ways. As for your question; I bought a pair of sandals this year I wore with absolutely everything, and was pleasantly surprised to see they added a retro vibe. I added a few tops with retro prints because of this and have been enjoying&nbsp;somewhat of a&nbsp;style shift.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1407870 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 01:23:25 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1407870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL @ pic 3. Hadn't thought about the crossover b/w hippie lady of a certain age and Victorian fossil hunter...</p> <p>I agree with AK; try tying the scarf if you want more of a gentlemanly vibe. But I like it either way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1407866 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 01:14:00 +0000 Angie 1407866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE #3. This is <b>your</b> look. You pull it off with great, great panache.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1407843 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:47:49 +0000 catgirl 1407843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab scarf. I think you need to tie it more like a cravat for the gentlemanly look. I love the Janis pic and love her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1407842 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:44:59 +0000 Thistle 1407842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the scarf!&nbsp; I love peacock prints in general, and that one is spectacular!&nbsp; Looks especially smashing against the blue velvet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/edwardian-gentleman-or-janis-joplin#post-1407839 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 00:42:58 +0000 MuseumGal 1407839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this gorgeous silk peacock scarf for $20 at TJ Maxx over the weekend, so of course I had to wear it today.&nbsp; I wore plain black trousers, pullover, and oxfords to show off the scarf, added some pretty jewelry, and then threw on my teal velvet blazer.&nbsp; I thought I was doing a fine job of Edwardian Gentleman until I saw the pics and immediately thought, erm, I look like Janis Joplin!&nbsp; My original style descriptor was stealthy bohemian, and I was Janis for Halloween this year (last pic), so I suppose this shouldn't be a surpise.&nbsp; I was actually pretty happy with this outfit, either way you want to read it.&nbsp; Peace baby!</p> <p>Have you ever thought you were rockin' one look and then realized you were actually totally rockin' something entirely different? </p>
