I felt very comfortable in this outfit.<br /> Suz and bj1111, I'm thrilled that you can see what I was trying to do to create a maximal outfit here. Suz, "elegant and hip" makes my day!<br /> Kkards, I will try the large cuff for a change. I usually rolled them but a large cuff would make a nice change and seems more current. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angies-maximal-challenge-maximal-taupe-and-cream#post-1742558 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 11:25:39 +0000 bj1111 1742558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The scarf and sweater draping plus the pattern makes it maximal while the tonality unifies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angies-maximal-challenge-maximal-taupe-and-cream#post-1742551 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 11:01:35 +0000 kkards 1742551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow....as&nbsp;Rachylou said, i wouldnt have thought of taupe for maximial, but with the layering of textures and structure, it totally works.&nbsp;<br />i think the lenght of the jeans is working, but wonder if you could turn the jeans up for a large cuff instead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angies-maximal-challenge-maximal-taupe-and-cream#post-1742546 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 10:52:15 +0000 Suz 1742546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is beautiful on you, Joy. You look incredibly elegant and hip! I love the taupe on you with the cream/white and it is softly autumnal. I think it works absolutely perfectly and does qualify as maximal -- the jacket's drape, the pattern mix, the contrast between top and bottom -- all of those contribute.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angies-maximal-challenge-maximal-taupe-and-cream#post-1742530 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 10:00:17 +0000 Sisi 1742530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice!

I wonder if this taupe outfit qualifies as maximal. When I wore orange, red and pink together it felt much more maximal although there were no patterns or accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angies-maximal-challenge-maximal-taupe-and-cream#post-1742462 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 03:37:24 +0000 rachylou 1742462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how educational and insightful. I don't think of taupe when it comes to maximal, but yes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angies-maximal-challenge-maximal-taupe-and-cream#post-1742456 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 03:28:38 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1742456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angies-maximal-challenge-maximal-taupe-and-cream#post-1742454 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 03:24:27 +0000 Anonymous 1742454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by Angie's Challenge and by my challenge this week to wear light toppers that don't fit easily under coats, I came up with this outfit to meet friends for a casual lunch and have a casual dinner. The topper is a Bobeau almost sweatshirt knit worn over an EF silk print shell. Jeans are EF cream denim worn with legs turned under to shorten. I'm not sure that the length is working. Booties are SE taupe suede. Scarf (silk) worn infinity style provides some pattern mixing and was a gift.<br /> Does this work for me? How can I improve this outfit? </p>
