I wanted to not stand out, you know?, and I wanted to come off as unintimidating. </p> <p>My first thought was to reach for something light pink and a cardigan, of all things. (I own nothing pink except shoes.) I must have been trying to psych myself out by trying to go J Crew on the gang, when, really, all these ideas about simple shapes, fabrications and colors - and black! -make way more sense, when trying to blend in. (What I ended up with, below, with grey skinnies.)</p> <p>ETA This outfit was because I didn't think to post the question to the forum until after the event. But *next time* they won't even know I'm there! </p> <p>I love this forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flying-under-the-radar-what-to-wear#post-1460683 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 23:54:16 +0000 Windchime 1460683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a day like that today. I put on my planned outfit for work--a print dress, leggings, and cardigan-- and felt I wanted something "easier" and less noticeable. So I settled on basic black straightleg pants, a black shirt, and a teal waterfall cardigan. I knew I looked good, but not in an attention-getting way. My energy was low today, and this outfit felt just right.</p> <p>If I truly wanted to blend into the woodwork, I'd wear a black cardi instead of the teal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flying-under-the-radar-what-to-wear#post-1460624 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 20:41:41 +0000 MsMary 1460624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally depends on where you will be and what you will be doing. Can you help us out with that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flying-under-the-radar-what-to-wear#post-1460620 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 20:27:55 +0000 Suz 1460620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first thought was, well, that depends on the scenery.</p> <p>In the city where I live, my winter outfit to "blend in" would be a lot like Diana's. Skinnies tucked into boots, puffer, a sweater (probably a dark one). In warmer temps, jeans or shorts, sandals, a tee.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anything dressy, very bright, or trendy immediately makes a person stand out around here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flying-under-the-radar-what-to-wear#post-1460570 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 19:02:27 +0000 DonnaF 1460570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No pops of color.&nbsp; No jewelry.&nbsp; No color; all neutral.&nbsp; No colored nail polish.&nbsp; No pattern.&nbsp; No texture.&nbsp; No shine.&nbsp; I own a lot of neutral clothing but I always try to incorporate pattern, texture, and shine.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have also felt that as a woman in my 60s, I have also become invisible at least in certain stores.&nbsp; Like Sephora. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flying-under-the-radar-what-to-wear#post-1460488 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 17:19:35 +0000 Diana 1460488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are Sorel Sorelia Earharts.&nbsp; Unfortunately discontinued, which is too bad because they are great and not puffy or hairy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flying-under-the-radar-what-to-wear#post-1460470 Fri, 20 Mar 2015 16:57:34 +0000 trekkiegirl 1460470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana that is a super cute outfit! What brand are those boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flying-under-the-radar-what-to-wear#post-1459974 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 23:54:19 +0000 Diana 1459974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans or black jeggings + plaid flannel + riding boots is a boston staple. </p> <p>Or black on top + denim + black shoes is another easy one for me. The black things can be more arty but since they're black they won't be super eye catching.</p> <p>Eta: photo. The boston winter uniform. Would swap snow boots for riding boots if no snow, obviously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flying-under-the-radar-what-to-wear#post-1459922 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 23:08:54 +0000 annabelle 1459922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so funny, because when I posted I thought Heather (tr3kkie9rl) and rachylou would be the last people ever to figure out how to blend into the scenery. &lt;3 all you guys </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flying-under-the-radar-what-to-wear#post-1459911 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 22:43:57 +0000 rachylou 1459911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right. Blues (navy, workshirt blue, light blue, NOT cobalt, electric blue or turquoise) and browns. Knit tees in pale pale pastel mints and peaches, but note these always get worn with a plain cardigan or hoodie. </p> <p>Jewelry: None, but button earrings OK and a small matching ring.</p> <p>Shoes: Sensible</p> <p>A navy or grey fleece also really knocks things back. A quilted jacket isn't too bad either.</p> ....Oh wait, without defying your own style. No, I have to defy style all together to fly under the radar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flying-under-the-radar-what-to-wear#post-1459907 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 22:39:11 +0000 trekkiegirl 1459907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boyfriend blazer with a band tee and skinnies is a good one too (for me) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flying-under-the-radar-what-to-wear#post-1459905 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 22:37:05 +0000 trekkiegirl 1459905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-not-ladylike-not-punk-just-me" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....nk-just-me</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flying-under-the-radar-what-to-wear#post-1459901 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 22:33:05 +0000 trekkiegirl 1459901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skinnies with a comfy top (both in solid neutral colors) and flats or chunky heeled booties.
