It would look so different with different fasteners and would open more styling opportunities. </p> <p>Otherwise, I would say, how about trying a pair of coloured jeans with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ideas-for-wearing-a-fancy-capelet#post-778190 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 23:31:36 +0000 moira 778190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a very cute black one that I never wore for the same reasons you mention. I showed it to a friend and she immediately threw it on OVER her red coat and it looked just great.<br /> I never would have thought to do that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ideas-for-wearing-a-fancy-capelet#post-776913 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 01:30:35 +0000 lamireille 776913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking of how that would look over a scoop-neck white tee, worn with a rhinestone necklace, somewhat faded skinny jeans, and black heels.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ideas-for-wearing-a-fancy-capelet#post-776812 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 23:51:17 +0000 Debby 776812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Cheryl and DonnaF for your ideas. Cheryl, I'll have to see if I have something white that will work; I don't have a white blouse at the moment, but I love the idea. Donna, to answer your question, the fastener w/rose is sewn on, so I'm limited to working with those colors. The dotty top sounds cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ideas-for-wearing-a-fancy-capelet#post-776442 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:54:38 +0000 DonnaF 776442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about with colored jeans as bright as the pink flower fastener? Or with dotty pants or top? I'm thinking fairly saturated colors. Unfaded denim would work if it read fairly blue vs. black/graysish/brownish.</p> <p>Is there any way to swap out the fastener? If you could change up the fastener in various ways, that might give you tons of flexibility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ideas-for-wearing-a-fancy-capelet#post-776259 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 15:17:33 +0000 cheryl 776259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute. I'm super casual so I would wear it with black jeans or pants and a simple long sleeve top. I think it would look great with grey slacks too. I think it might even look good over a crisp white blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ideas-for-wearing-a-fancy-capelet#post-776225 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:42:33 +0000 Debby 776225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggle with my taste (dress-up) vs. my lifestyle (casual). </p> <p>A couple of years ago, I fell in love with this capelet that I found in a boutique on Cape Cod. Since we don't tend to have elegant holiday parties to go to, I've worn it on Christmas with a black ribbed turtleneck and wide-legged trouser pants. Do you have any other suggestions for ways I might dress this down so it can come out of my closet a little more? It has a heavy weight to it so is nice and warm, but I'd still have to wear my winter coat over it when outside. </p>
