What a yummy color combo. You make me want to experiment with color—and that’s saying something! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348942 Sun, 07 Jan 2024 02:00:19 +0000 Jaime 2348942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely smashing! I am inspired - I will wear my lilac coat today for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348904 Sat, 06 Jan 2024 21:07:06 +0000 Ket 2348904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore lilacs, orchids, and purples worn with reds! SO this is killer to me. But you are extra gorgeous in it! I especially love your lilac coat. It's so terrific on you!

I never remember the flashlight till I hear the rustling in the bushes… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348865 Sat, 06 Jan 2024 17:06:01 +0000 Suz 2348865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all -- and <b>Inge, </b>YES! -- such a wonderful coat. I'll bet you get compliments on it every time you wear! It's magical because it is such a feminine colour but an androgynous shape and very durable. </p> <p><b>Olive Green,</b> that is so cool! I bought the hat on the ferry from Victoria to Vancouver. They come in many colours but of course I had to have bright red. It's quite warm so I don't know if it will work for your climate. And, honestly, when you wear it as designed, it's odd looking (I was wearing it backwards in the photo). But I live in a suburban area of dark and very narrow streets without sidewalks in places and I like to walk at night or what you might call night. (It gets dark very early here in winter -- at around 4:30, so "night" is a bit of a joke.) Anyway, I've had too many close calls to risk invisibility so I walk wearing this hat and the lovely vest, below, LOL. Or my bright white coat with reflectors, depending on temps.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bijou,</b> I laughed out loud at the blue comment! I know, right? Well, those <b>are </b>blue stripes in my shirt, I promise! And the scarf has blue blotches on it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348844 Sat, 06 Jan 2024 14:34:13 +0000 Star (Lise) 2348844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This colour combination is so good on you Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348836 Sat, 06 Jan 2024 11:24:35 +0000 Anonymous 2348836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color combo- love it with the coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348833 Sat, 06 Jan 2024 11:15:07 +0000 Olive Green 2348833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty colour combinations. I got hung up on the LED hat and just ordered it. What a great idea.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348828 Sat, 06 Jan 2024 09:57:07 +0000 Inge 2348828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Ooooh!!! Perfect from head to toe!! Like you, I was smitten with the lilac, red, white (and blue) colour combo in the first look on Friday's post, and this is a brilliant version of it, Suz!</div><div><br /></div><div>(And yes, what an amazing coat, right!-)<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348824 Sat, 06 Jan 2024 08:49:56 +0000 Bijou 2348824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm amazed at how little blue you are wearing, this is a fabulous rendition. I always love seeing your lilac winter coat, it seems to work with everything in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348823 Sat, 06 Jan 2024 08:09:18 +0000 slim cat 2348823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So beautiful!

The stripe adds a crisp element and the white boots are the linchpin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348805 Sat, 06 Jan 2024 00:00:53 +0000 MsMaven 2348805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! I love your more neutral combinations and now your are giving us a whole new category to admire.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348797 Fri, 05 Jan 2024 21:58:48 +0000 Suz 2348797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Kkards,</b> that's a great observation about the boots being grounding. I used to think only black (or dark) footwear could be grounding but I now think white works just as well, maybe better for the light-haired amongst us or those who wear a fair bit of white or cream. It's interesting! Also, these boots are surprisingly practical because waterproof and easy on /off.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Helena!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Angie,</b> I know, right? Not much blue (for me). But over the next few days I will try different versions, some with more blue. I'm also going to aim to get a bit more of the feel of that dramatic pattern of the coat in the example. I'm going to try my version of outfit 4, too, of course, and I have a few ideas for that one. It ties in well with <b>SarahDB'</b>s no repeat challenge, so why not? Thanks for the inspiration!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Indigoprint.</b> I love this coat so much -- I will have it forever.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Christel, Dee, Gail, Sarah </b>-- thanks!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348795 Fri, 05 Jan 2024 21:46:00 +0000 kkards 2348795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol I read the name of the post and thought wow is Suz going to the race track? &nbsp;Then I clicked in a got it….and it’s fab. &nbsp;I especially like the way the red accessories in #3 &nbsp;just &nbsp;pull the whole thing together and make the outfit pop. &nbsp;And the white boots, with all the color going on ‘up top’ are very grounding.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348794 Fri, 05 Jan 2024 21:41:21 +0000 Helena 2348794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun and lively ... these colours combine so beautifully to be energetic but not a bit chaotic. A master class! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348793 Fri, 05 Jan 2024 21:41:04 +0000 Angie 2348793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forgot to add:</p> <p>Very UN-Blue for Queen Blue ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348791 Fri, 05 Jan 2024 21:39:17 +0000 Angie 2348791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER Fabulous, <b>Suz</b>! Works beautifully. Well done! </p> <p>(And especially energizing on this gloomy, cold and grey PNW day!)</p> <p>Lilac and red are delicious together!!! LOVE that combination on you. I can see <b>Inge</b> sport a similar look!</p> <p>Love how the scarf brings it all together, adds the chic, and of course - warmth! It's a dead right match with the pants.......(how did you live before white boots and red pants!!! ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348790 Fri, 05 Jan 2024 21:35:47 +0000 Indigoprint 2348790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I love outfit#1 from today's blog too.<br /> I think you nailed it. Your coat is Fab.<br /> So fun that you could shop your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348789 Fri, 05 Jan 2024 21:30:08 +0000 ChristelJ 2348789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely terrific!

Yes that outfit formula does seem very Suz. This is a great color scheme for you. Well done on your first iteration -- and I'm curious to see others.</p> <p>I'm planning a version of the final outfit to wear tomorrow... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/formula-one-my-way#post-2348783 Fri, 05 Jan 2024 20:39:04 +0000 Suz 2348783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved outfit #1 from today's blog post. I would love to own that dramatic coat! Alas, I don't. But I do have a bunch of options for versions of the outfit and I plan to try them out over the next week. Here's my first attempt. My 23 year old kid gave it the thumbs up!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have the slouchy red pants. I don't own a lilac pullover but I do own a sort of lilac-pinkish cardigan. Wearing that over a boldly striped white and blue shirt. I did try with the shirt untucked to come closer to the original but the proportions felt off on me. So I tucked again. I might experiment some more another day. Added a red and blue abstract patterned scarf. White boots, lilac coat, red hat, red bag with a guitar strap that includes pink/ lavender tones.&nbsp;</p> <p>Next version will likely have more blue going on. Stay tuned!&nbsp; </p>
