And I also support you in not keeping the other skirt if it isn't a slam dunk yes! Onward, as Angie says.</p> <p>I wore the shirt I bought at this year's NAS with the brown loafers, black pants, and a black topper once this week and again this week! So thanks for inspiring me with this thread! Team Black and Brown for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2339095 Thu, 21 Sep 2023 11:46:55 +0000 lyn67 2339095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love&nbsp; the browns and blues here, and both skirts are a fab print but I love the AllSaints more because of the simple asymmetric&nbsp; cut- now we want to see them styled!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2339091 Thu, 21 Sep 2023 11:22:59 +0000 Jules 2339091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don’t be torn Janet. The All Saints is so much nicer and better suited to your artistic POV. You don’t need two versions and you’re leaving space for something else to come along. In fact maybe stay out of the Rack lol (this part is a joke but honestly I do feel the most peace and satisfaction when I choose a few nice things online then avoid going into Winners etc. My impulse buys are more at curated boutiques and craft/vintage shows. If you love the Rack have at it of course!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2339010 Wed, 20 Sep 2023 17:19:05 +0000 Jonesy 2339010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I am really gravitating towards all sorts of browns, including khaki, tan, rust-brown, cool brown, and I find myself actually wanting a pair of brown booties or boots, which I would not have believed was possible even a year ago :). I especially love browns paired with grays and navy. </p> <p>I LOVE that AllSaints skirt--so beautiful and perfect for your style. It's a treat to see everyone's brown wardrobe items--these sorts of tones just scream fall to me, which is my favorite season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2338950 Wed, 20 Sep 2023 09:28:23 +0000 Jenni NZ 2338950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good on you for increasing standards. I know what you mean about the hangers!<br /> I still think the Tahari one is pretty. Hopefully though if you return it you won’t miss it because you’ll be enjoying the other new skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2338852 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 19:59:12 +0000 Janet 2338852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni, with the flounce I know what you mean, but it has a nice drape and hangs straight from the hip for the most part so the tier doesn’t bother me — the muted color palette and print also save it from being too girlie for me. I’m still a little torn, but I’m trying to only keep things that move my style forward. Upping my standards. Too easy to keep $20 items because they were only $20 — when I still need to alter and then dedicate another hanger in my closet for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2338851 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 19:53:58 +0000 Jenni NZ 2338851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good. The Tahari one looked pretty but I did also wonder if it was slightly frillier than what I think of as your usual style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2338841 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 16:00:47 +0000 Angie 2338841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah. Good call doing the fine work here, <b>Janet.</b> T Tahari is NOT the same brand as Elie Tahari (people can confuse the two). The latter is the impeccable luxe brand at a much higher price. The former is hit or miss.</p> <p>Yay for the AllSaints skirt :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2338839 Mon, 18 Sep 2023 15:44:33 +0000 Janet 2338839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A little update. I finally got a chance to steam out both skirts and try them on at home with various tops, jackets, and footwear. </p> <p>The AllSaints is a keeper. I love the luxe fabric, the print is lovely, and the asymmetric hem right up my alley. It looks good with every pair of boots I tried. It also goes with a lot of my tops and jackets, thanks to the print that incorporates green, teal, and blue. </p> <p>The Tahari is less of a winner. The fabric is not so luxe. It looks good with certain black boots and that’s about it. Tops are limited too — mostly just black. The blue in that skirt is a bit hard to match, and most of my blue items clashed with it a bit. But it does look good with denim jackets and those two pairs of black boots, black sandals as well. The other ding against it is the fit. It fits well across the hip but has quite a bit of extra fabric in the gathered waist (at the back) and the high hip. I could get it taken in, but is it really worth it?? So I have it set aside to return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2338721 Fri, 15 Sep 2023 21:16:59 +0000 Angie 2338721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*happy dance*</p> <p>Want to see those outfits, <b>Janet</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the welcome back.

The weather is finally cooling off so I’ll try soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2338704 Fri, 15 Sep 2023 19:47:42 +0000 Angie 2338704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet</b>, when I collected that AllSaints skirt, I thought of you and <b>Brooklyn :)</b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b></b>Will the new skirts work with your&nbsp;cowboy boots?

Hopefully they do make the midi version of the dress available too later in the season (Angie has it in this pattern). Mostly because that would give me a good excuse to buy a second one, lol!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2338609 Thu, 14 Sep 2023 14:48:56 +0000 Janet 2338609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love seeing all these collections and inspirations! Kyle, I hear you. I was feeling that way too for some years. Maybe I’m feeling a little differently now because I’m backing off of wearing so much black. </p> <p>Jules, that’s a very cute dress! Lovely for someone who can wear minis (not me unfortunately!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2338608 Thu, 14 Sep 2023 14:37:02 +0000 Jules 2338608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a pretty dress with the same brown &amp; blue idea - they also have chocolate brown (find). If I didn't already have this dress in another brown-based pattern I would be very tempted!</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.aritzia.com/en/product/daydreamer-mini-dress/81688.html?dwvar_81688_color=31429">https://www.aritzia.com/en/pro.....olor=31429</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2338588 Thu, 14 Sep 2023 10:43:45 +0000 Anonymous 2338588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the combo of black, brown, and blue too! I bought a bunch of brown in the last couple years, and prefer it over black with teal, purple, and salmon. In general I prefer black though, and I stopped buying those colors that I don't like with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2338542 Wed, 13 Sep 2023 22:46:54 +0000 Jules 2338542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I'm feeling A LOT of brown for fall!  Have picked up a couple of items starting last fall shown in finds, and also have a few older chocolate brown leather items collected during the years it was tough to find: a messenger bag, riding boots, and fleece-lined high top Cons. Have my eye out for a winter coat (puffer or wool). Love Brooklyn's collection of bronze items! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw/page/2#post-2338510 Wed, 13 Sep 2023 15:59:01 +0000 Kyle 2338510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brown is just not for me. I know it’s trending, but I’ll probably pass on it. Am looking forward to seeing how you wear wear and style your new skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw#post-2338422 Tue, 12 Sep 2023 20:30:12 +0000 Style Fan 2338422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The two skirts are gorgeous and perfect for your style.&nbsp; They will look fabulous with black pieces.<br />I always have some chocolate brown pieces in my wardrobe, and I am excited to see many shades of brown (expresso, java, chocolate) at retail.&nbsp; I like the combination of brown and pale blue (denim) together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw#post-2338398 Tue, 12 Sep 2023 15:46:46 +0000 Star (Lise) 2338398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Janet and Umlilla&nbsp;</b>check out the Vivienne Files Blog post today.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.theviviennefiles.com/2023/09/experimenting-with-proportions-by-starting-with-art-partial-eclipse-of-the-moon-by-etienne-leopold-trouvelot.html/">Experimenting with Proportions by Starting with Art: Partial Eclipse of the Moon by Étienne Léopold Trouvelot - The Vivienne Files</a></p> <p>I love black, brown and rust together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw#post-2338397 Tue, 12 Sep 2023 15:40:08 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2338397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That AllSaints skirt is beautiful. I bought a brown skirt and brown plaid jacket recently from Madewell, and was thinking to wear them combined with either dark russet or black tops. </p> <p>I’ve been also been toying with the idea of chocolate brown suede boots and bag for fall but haven’t bought anything yet. I think I want to see what’s available in Lisbon and Marbella for a change, later in the month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw#post-2338381 Tue, 12 Sep 2023 12:06:46 +0000 Janet 2338381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s fun to see the other brown collections! I do enjoy when a color like this comes back around after a long hiatus, looking fresh to my eye.</p> <p>Last winter I eyed a pair of dark chocolate brown jeans. I have plenty of jeans so no need for them, but if a perfect pair of dark brown pants or jeans landed in front of me, I’d consider them. </p> <p>Brooklyn, your collection is amazing! </p> <p>And Sal, I like brown with black too. My mom was really fond of that combination (she had dark brown eyes so it was particularly good on her). No wonder I always liked dark brown with lighter blues/teal/turquoise — it echoed my hair/eye coloring before I let the grey grow in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw#post-2338337 Mon, 11 Sep 2023 21:58:11 +0000 Roxanna 2338337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a stunning color palette! And it works particularly well for Deep Autumns like me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw#post-2338335 Mon, 11 Sep 2023 21:35:03 +0000 judy 2338335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, having a bit of a brown season also!&nbsp; Starting in the Spring with a pair of very baggy dark brown cotton pants.&nbsp; Then this summer a random find of a handmade light brown linen jacket in a thrift store and then some cocoa colored slides at TJ Max. I also have been looking for some corduroy trousers for Fall and yes, the one's I've been liking so far have all been in shades of brown.&nbsp; I also love brown and dark blue combo.&nbsp; Also black and brown together.&nbsp; Lovely skirts too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw#post-2338331 Mon, 11 Sep 2023 19:56:19 +0000 ZoeyGirl 2338331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I love chocolate brown and am building a complement. The suede loafers are from last year's NAS and were orphans last year (the find is blue but I got the chocolate brown). I bought the pants at this year's NAS (the plaid stripe is a chocolate brown through s black pant) and this shirt too: <a href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-leopard-print-sleeveless-top/7377219" rel="nofollow">https://www.nordstrom.com/s/vi.....op/7377219</a></p> <p>Love the colors of your skirt! Go Team Brown! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw#post-2338328 Mon, 11 Sep 2023 19:50:41 +0000 MsMaven 2338328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great buy with that Tahari skirt! Haven't felt much for brown until a couple of years ago, then I started looking for it. Not much out there at the time, so I'm happy to see it this season. Camel and kind of a burnt orange as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw#post-2338301 Mon, 11 Sep 2023 14:53:08 +0000 Janet 2338301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eliza, I’m generally team pants too, but I have several old pairs of tall boots that I like but are unlikely to be worn unless I work some skirts into my fall/winter wardrobe. I just don’t do the skinny jeans tucked into tall boots thing anymore, and have been eyeing those languishing boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw#post-2338300 Mon, 11 Sep 2023 14:45:20 +0000 Eliza 2338300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirts. Like you, certain butterfly prints call me. The All Saints print is sophisticated and has versatility in terms of dressing it up or a making a bit more casual look. It looks like ‘you’. If a print has a cool brown backdrop and features my generally non-earth tone colors, I make it work by pulling out those other colors in the outfit as you suggest. While I am generally on Team Pants, you have sold me on the power of skirts. These 2 look especially good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw#post-2338285 Mon, 11 Sep 2023 12:25:19 +0000 RobinF 2338285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice skirts! I used to always have some brown in my closet but then couldn't get it for so many years that now there is very little (maybe none?). Not sure how it looks on me any more but it is such a nice, rich color.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feeling-a-bit-of-brown-for-fw#post-2338275 Mon, 11 Sep 2023 11:11:56 +0000 Brooklyn 2338275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I love the Allsaints skirt! I will keep an eye out for that.</p> <p>I’ve got a pretty decent size brown capsule now. Darker browns have definitely been easier to find over the last year or so. I especially like metallic browns/bronzes. I tried a metallic brown wool coat last winter but alas the fit wasn’t right for me. </p>
