What a nice story! Love it. And thank you for the great compliments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-12-black-suit-with-a-brooch#post-1879356 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 14:08:45 +0000 lyn67 1879356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH, and OMG!!!!!:-)) I always look at picties before reading, so first blink I actually wondered&nbsp; how on earth did you achieve that beautiful drape of the blouse underneath the jacket! Turns out it is a scarf???</p> <p>LOL-and Whooo-hooo! Creative people of the last century unite!:-))<br />I wasn't&nbsp; daring to do this&nbsp; for myself, as worrying too much&nbsp; of a malfunction, BUT I remember an artist lady (neighbor and friend of my SIL) who did this exact trick once when didn't have the right top in her wardrobe for a suit she wanted to wear at&nbsp; a versnisage. <br />Back in 1989 (I was in college and accidentally visiting my brother's that evening) when she came over in a hurry and asked my SIL to pin at the back with safety pins the scarf in the most artsy way over her torso so she could leave without being late-taxi was waiting down the street! <br />No time for wondering but we have had some terrible fun till succeeding&nbsp; the job as she required, LOL! She was almost late&nbsp; to the event but said she felt gorgeous as&nbsp; the&nbsp; scarf has had some beautiful colors and drape--and all was&nbsp; fortunatelly malfunction free, too.<br />Now, those were the (great!) times -thanx for providing a moment of nostalgia to me!<br />BTW ,Your outfit is of course more than fab-and love the horse brooche, too!:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-12-black-suit-with-a-brooch#post-1879350 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 13:56:38 +0000 Katerina 1879350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, <b>Shevia</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-12-black-suit-with-a-brooch#post-1879341 Tue, 16 Jan 2018 13:37:47 +0000 Jaime 1879341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another gorgeous outfit!

Your kindness warms my heart.</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, thank you! The scarf is rectangular and it is very big, length&nbsp;about 2 m and the width about 90 cm - it is a lot of fabric. That is why it works. I tied the ends&nbsp;behind my back&nbsp;and&nbsp;then I&nbsp;tucked the front part&nbsp;into the skirt. It needed some adjusting from time to time, but not anything critical.&nbsp;I think you should absolutely bring out your brooches - brooches are fun!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-12-black-suit-with-a-brooch#post-1879091 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 21:23:22 +0000 Anonymous 1879091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for this outfit. Did the scarf/halter stay put for you during the day? Is it a square scarf? It looks great and the large brooch looks fresh. Maybe it is time to bring out brooches again. I have been pinning some over chains to use as pendants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-12-black-suit-with-a-brooch#post-1879072 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 21:00:44 +0000 rachylou 1879072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantabulous!

Stunning. I can’t quite believe you used a scarf over a tank to get this look. One cannot tell. Nice drape with the scarf. The brooch is gorgeous. Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-12-black-suit-with-a-brooch#post-1879039 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 19:53:40 +0000 Katerina 1879039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day 15 of the challenge. Today, I wanted to try a black/brown combination. I&nbsp;am wearing a black suit (peplum jacket and pencil skirt) together with tall flat black boots, a very&nbsp;big brown scarf worn as a faux halter blouse&nbsp;(on top&nbsp;of a tank top)&nbsp;and one of my favourite brooches - a little&nbsp;horse made of crystal glass. I added a large&nbsp;brown clutch bag (not practical at all :-).</p> <p>What do you guys think? &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
