I was thinking the outfit was maybe lacking a little--I don't know what! I guess I don't usually go for minimal looks, so it's a bit out of my comfort zone. I'm inspired to inject more <i>minimal </i>into my style.</p> <p>Anna, I'm glad I didn't find iliac--ha ha! I was thinking that what I found in the closet was actually more wisteria than lilac, anyway!<br />I never did get to take off the scarf, although I agree I like the necklines without it. I tried the scarf without the fronts dangling down, but I didn't like the extra line at the neck that way. Wish I weren't so cold-blooded about the neck area, because I do like the way ballet necklines look on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144950 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 01:51:18 +0000 MuseumGal 1144950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the purples on you and the layers are so good. Works with or without the scarf, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144924 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 01:39:04 +0000 Lyn D. 1144924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your purple top and the way you have layered it here!<br />I prefer sans scarf, but do prefer simple outfits for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144897 Tue, 21 Jan 2014 01:07:27 +0000 Angie 1144897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Arty and flowing in a sporty and pretty way.

I like it with/without the scarf, but would probably leave the scarf off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144724 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:20:41 +0000 Wendy45 1144724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lively colours! I always like it when I can repeat a colour in my outfit. To me it geels like pulling it together. So I like the outfit combined with the scarf best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144712 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:14:41 +0000 Caro in Oz 1144712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous - I love it with &amp; without the scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144710 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:13:18 +0000 carambola 1144710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic combination! The colors and layers are lovely on you. Looks great with and without the scarf, but I think you shine more without. Amazing how the scarf changes the vibe so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144706 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:10:20 +0000 Aquamarine 1144706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I prefer it without the scarf too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144702 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:06:42 +0000 Susie 1144702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful outfit. I love the colors together. It certainly works with the scarf but I prefer it without. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144688 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 20:52:57 +0000 E 1144688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great colours, and I love your sense of proportions and layering. Beautiful but restrained.</p> <p>I like it both with and without the scarf, which really changes the vibe! I wonder if you can tie the scarf so that it's more like a cowl/necklace than the one end hanging down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144678 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 20:41:26 +0000 Sarah A 1144678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this outfit. It is strong minimal and lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144666 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 20:32:38 +0000 annagybe 1144666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh nice. But I have been working far too much this weekend, I read that you found iliac. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144657 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 20:17:45 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1144657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely colors and layering. Wonder if a simple long necklace would work in place of the scarf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144632 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:44:17 +0000 Greyscale 1144632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really, really like the layered minimalism here. The top and the skirt are both simple in a way that works so well together, and this is perfect on your figure.&nbsp;I would copy this in a heartbeat if I had a skirt like that - I should search for one that fits me like that, loose but structured.</p> <p>(I agree with people who prefer it without the scarf. I think the ruffles work against&nbsp;the minimalist effect.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144622 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 19:34:56 +0000 Inge 1144622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Minimalist me prefers it without the scarf. And this dark shade of lilac is just so gorgeous! It looks wonderful with the pale lilac and the dark grey. The zipper detailing in the back is an unexpected and fab - "very Firecracker" - element. Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144548 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 17:54:57 +0000 Parsley 1144548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a nice lilac/ purple/ gray combo!<br /> I prefer it without the scarf because it looks sleeker that way.<br /> I love your boots, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144547 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 17:53:04 +0000 NDMom 1144547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing....that outfit just shines!

I must check mine to see if I have lilac.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144453 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 16:21:29 +0000 Catnip 1144453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit.&nbsp; The colors look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/found-some-lilac-in-the-closet#post-1144450 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 16:20:33 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1144450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying Angie's gray-lilac-black ensemble idea today. (Here:<br /><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2014/01/17/ensemble-grey-lilac-black/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2014/01/.....lac-black/</a> )<br />I realized I had a very, very pale lilac tee shirt and a medium heather purple sweater that I could wear with it.</p> <p>Palest lilac shirt-tail hem tee (Fluxus)<br />Purple heather boxy sweater with back zip and side pockets (Caslon)<br />Medium heather gray short straight skirt (made by me)<br />Black tights<br />Black rough suede spat boots (Donald Pliner)<br />Silver dangle-hoop earrings (Marjorie Baer)<br />Purple specs</p> <p>I'm wearing the outfit with a ruffled knit light gray heather cashmere scarf knit by a friend. I need the scarf for warmth on my neck this morning, although I may not need it later. I'm not sure whether I like the outfit better with or without the scarf.</p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
