Really like the white socks with shoes as a trendy look that looks like you have been there waiting for the world to catch up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fun-with-layering#post-2342268 Sat, 21 Oct 2023 21:51:16 +0000 Jonesy 2342268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the first look with the subtle pattern mixing going on! Maybe a slightly pointy-toed oxford would be just the ticket for an alternative to a more traditional oxford or a ballet flat? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fun-with-layering#post-2342127 Fri, 20 Oct 2023 14:04:53 +0000 Anonymous 2342127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a wonderful scarf collection. I like #1 best of you outfits but all look well thought out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fun-with-layering#post-2341667 Sun, 15 Oct 2023 14:19:14 +0000 RobinF 2341667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely example of how to wear a vest! I quite like it with the ballet flats but could also see it with heavier footwear, I think SarahD8 is onto something with her thoughts on that. And I agree a tweed jacket would be fab with the last outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fun-with-layering#post-2341665 Sun, 15 Oct 2023 14:15:21 +0000 Angie 2341665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab scarf collection! They relate well to each other.</p> <p>Excellent tonal pattern mixing in #1! Complements the colour of your hair. That's my fave, and I like the ballet flats with the look! Fresh vibe :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fun-with-layering#post-2341662 Sun, 15 Oct 2023 14:10:50 +0000 Roberta 2341662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic pattern mixing, and I love love love the menswear look on you. Your long silver hair is the perfect contrast. Do you ever wear silver boots?</p> <p> I used to have a similar box pleated skirt from Talbots in a heavy linen, and eventually trying to wrangle the pleats wore me out and I gave it away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fun-with-layering#post-2341652 Sun, 15 Oct 2023 13:40:29 +0000 Bijou 2341652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear monochromatic tones so well, I love #1 and 2 on you, a great juxtaposition with your hair. A tweed blazer would be a fabulous wardrobe addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fun-with-layering#post-2341644 Sun, 15 Oct 2023 11:05:40 +0000 Olive Green 2341644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a strong and interesting point of view you have! I like all of it and would be examining you closely, over my book, in the coffee shop.&nbsp;<br />Had a shopping trip this week to a Mens Wearhouse (classy name, eh?) with Mr Green and we ordered him a custom pair of dressy pants that I actually rather fancied for me (and a sports coat) and I gotta say, you have this menswear thing down. Taking notes, really. These outfits actually look comfortable.&nbsp;<br />Your hair and smile are beautiful.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fun-with-layering#post-2341617 Sun, 15 Oct 2023 00:56:14 +0000 SarahD8 2341617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I really like all of this, both your inspiration/thought process behind the outfits, and the execution.</p> <p>That first outfit is especially ringing my bells. Interestingly, I really like it with the ballet flats in #2, but not as much in #1. Maybe the blazer version needs heftier footwear to balance the outfit, but with the shirt sleeves the ballet flats are just the perfect juxtaposition...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fun-with-layering#post-2341608 Sat, 14 Oct 2023 23:05:52 +0000 kkards 2341608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your scarf collection is TDF! &nbsp;<div>#1 is just so fab.. the pinstripes, the vest, the shoes, so current and modern. &nbsp;And I love how you’ve done the socks with the shoes in #3, I find it fresh. I like the skirt in the final look but I’m wondering if you could try &nbsp;a top or shoes/boots with higher contrast, maybe because the other 2 outfits have higher contrast .&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fun-with-layering#post-2341594 Sat, 14 Oct 2023 19:10:37 +0000 Carla 2341594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1+2 are particularly polished and luxe looking. &nbsp;Worth repeating. LOL! &nbsp;I had&nbsp;<i>my </i>sort-of equestrian scarf out today! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fall-fun-with-layering#post-2341589 Sat, 14 Oct 2023 17:58:09 +0000 L'Abeille 2341589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good day all. The weather has finally turned chilly enough for layers. I was inspired by MaryBeth and Carla.</p> <p>1. Slouchy high-waisted pants (Uniqlo last year) with grey &amp; white striped shirt and short sweater vest. Worn with black blazer and Clarks ballet flats. Hair in a half-up to add feminine contrast.</p> <p>I'm not sure about the footwear choice here. I wanted ballet flats to offset the masculine vibe of the outfit, but meh with the trouser length, almost wants an oxford to break onto?</p> <p>2. Grey pinstripe skirt worn backwards so the slit is at the front. (This is apparently a microtrend. I have at least 3 long straight skirts with back slits, that I haven't worn in years because they are so long, so I am milking it.) White shirt, plain black sweater vest, long thin scarf tied in a half Windsor for interest.</p> <p>These oxfords (Bata) have lovely brogue detailing. I wanted to add socks for warmth and comfort, so I turned down these white ankle socks to make cuffs. Someone (Helena?) found that look unimaginative because it was everywhere, but I've only seen it on a few university students in our tiny town; just enough to embolden me.</p> <p>Hair in a single plait to soften the look.</p> <p>Not shown, but short black trench overtop.</p> <p>3. Yesterday was rainy enough to want a skirt and boots. I love this box pleated skirt (Talbots) but warm beige doesn't love me so it requires careful handling. This light v neck sweater was not too warm (first sweater wear of the season). </p> <p>For contrast and cooler colour I wanted this equestrian scarf with navy border (silk, bought in Rome 30 years ago). To find it, I had to rummage through 5 other equestrian scarves. Do I have a problem?</p> <p>My plan was to wear knee high riding style boots, black with brown trim. But I couldn't find them anywhere, and I was running out of time, so I grabbed these desert boots. That moved it from Ralph Lauren territory towards Indiana Jones. Maybe a bit confused with the preppy top half?</p> <p>Hair in a low pony with navy velvet scrunchie for preppy energy.</p> <p>Wouldn't a tweed blazer go great with this? Maybe an item for a HEWI list. Because of the rain, I used my big Columbo style trench coat.</p> <p>So that was my week. What could I improve on? My closet is replete with classic items as you can see. But I wouldn't mind adding a few completer pieces that I could watch for in thrift shops. </p>
