How fun that you also love gloves! I have bought many pairs of gloves&nbsp;during the years, both vintage and new.&nbsp;When I find an interesting pair in a bright colour or a fun&nbsp;pattern, I try to get them. I agree with you, they are&nbsp;playful and romantic, as well as practical.&nbsp;Gloves and&nbsp;brooches have a nostalgic, sentimental feel, which I love.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1882380 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 21:32:57 +0000 karen13 1882380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this suit in all iterations. Like Sterling, I love 2 and see why it is such a hit, but 1 is my fave. The seam down the leg on the pants is the kind of detail I adore. You are giving us a doctoral thesis in neutral tonal dressing with all of these. And you have the best shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1882371 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 21:22:21 +0000 tulle 1882371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love black and taupe--a rich combination.&nbsp; And I really like all these outfits very much.&nbsp; Those goldfinch-yellow gloves are such a happy touch!&nbsp; I'm a fool for beautiful gloves; I have arthritic fingers, so they are practical, but also a stylish, playful and romantic detail.&nbsp; Do you find yourself collecting new and vintage ones, as I do?&nbsp; (They seem to go along with the brooches, somehow!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1882194 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 14:08:41 +0000 Katerina 1882194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Celia, what a nice thing to say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1882192 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 14:03:46 +0000 celia 1882192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are really amazing outfits. I don't see many taupe suits around but I think that they are very stylish and wanted to try one for spring.<br /> You just convinced me that it is a great idea </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881822 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 14:11:24 +0000 Katerina 1881822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>all</b> so very much for looking and&nbsp;commenting and thank you for all the kind&nbsp;words and support!&nbsp;It boosts my confidence and encourages me to try new combinations and step out of my comfort zone. It´s greatly appreciated!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><b></b></p> <p><b>Sterling</b>, you always care and take your time to look, analyse carefully&nbsp;and share your thoughts. I appreciate it so much and thank you for your kindness. No 4 feels ok and works for my casual needs.&nbsp;The outfit&nbsp;is too warm to wear at home, but at home, I usually wear lounge wear. This is to be worn out on casual days.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881771 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 09:23:53 +0000 Anonymous 1881771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shot. &nbsp;I failed to even notice the casual style in Number 4. &nbsp;I needed <b>Lynn </b>and <b>Sarah</b> to point it out to me. &nbsp;Number 4 works GREAT. &nbsp;I like it a lot. &nbsp;It has a refreshing "feel" about it that I find soothing and inviting. &nbsp;I am curious how you felt wearing it? &nbsp; Did it feel comfortable and sufficiently casual to meet your needs of the day?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881767 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 08:45:34 +0000 Aurore 1881767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This suit is very classy and is perfect on you! The cut of the jacket is very flattering and I love its (golden?) zipper details.<br />My favourites are #1 and #2 because of the jacket (I REALLY love it) but I think both the jacket and the trousers work as a whole suit as well as separates. <br />IMO the whole suit looks classically polished and professional, while as separates look more stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881747 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 05:38:57 +0000 jussie 1881747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the separates.

I honestly love them all. The plaid wool scarf is fantastic with the trousers. Your bag collection is amazing. Delightful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881721 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 03:58:00 +0000 SarahD8 1881721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 is my fave too. You are zeroing in on your casual style!</p> <p>I like all the other looks as well. I think you should wear your suit together OR apart. What versatile pieces you have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881704 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 02:20:42 +0000 Lynn 1881704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You just rock in all your clothes. Love 2 with the scarf but my fave in #4. I love taupe and black with the pop of red in the scarf. And the bag is fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881677 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 00:29:06 +0000 Mainelady 1881677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that is a gorgeous suit! All outfits are winners and I love that you brought out the hunting bag to play. My favorite of the fabs is #2.

I also like #4. I love taupe and love black with it. These outfits are all stunners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881661 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 23:38:59 +0000 Anonymous 1881661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand <b>Toban</b>'s and <b>Brooklyn</b>'s comment about the pattern. &nbsp;Number 2 <u>does</u> outshine Number 1 for this reason. &nbsp;But I gotta say, Number 1 is my favorite. &nbsp;It is <u>rare</u> that I see a suited woman these days. &nbsp;The&nbsp;look appeals to me greatly. &nbsp;I favor it for its uniqueness. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881649 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 22:43:32 +0000 Katerina 1881649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, <b>Angie</b>, for the killer and the lovely compliment!

The suit worn as a suit in no 1 looks fab but I would like to see a little pattern and/or colour added. No 2 is my fave. Love taupe! Such a fabulous warm neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881638 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 22:17:37 +0000 Angie 1881638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER to the POWER of KILLER all round. Can't pick a fave.&nbsp;</p> <p>You are chic, <b>Katerina.</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881632 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 22:09:13 +0000 Katerina 1881632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Toban</b>! Yes, I can imagine wearing the suit outfit with a patterned scarf, but I will have to&nbsp;find a bold scarf I guess - I feel that the taupe from top to toe would&nbsp;need some "punch". </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881609 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 20:39:16 +0000 Toban 1881609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Katerina</b>, I like them all -- my fav is #2. I like it as a suit and with the black scarf, but you rock pattern so well, would you consider trying the same base outfit (suit, top) with a patterned scarf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-17-taupe-suit-and-black#post-1881607 Mon, 22 Jan 2018 20:33:57 +0000 Katerina 1881607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit 17 of the January 30x30 challenge - Monday outfit.</p> <p>Today I wore a taupe wool&nbsp;trouser suit. I usually wear the pieces as separates and when I&nbsp;wear the whole suit, I try to offset the colour with black.&nbsp;<b><u>No 1</u></b><u></u><u></u>&nbsp;is the suit, which I wear with a black thin&nbsp;turtle neck top, a large&nbsp;black scarf, black high heeled booties, a large vintage black handbag and large golden hoops.</p> <p><b><u>No 2</u></b> - the suit&nbsp;jacket with straight&nbsp;black trousers (the same boots), a patterned&nbsp;cashmere scarf and a smaller vintage black handbag. This is a more comfortable and easier&nbsp;outfit for me than wearing the whole suit and this is how I normally wear it with different scarves and black bags. </p> <p><b><u>No 3</u></b> - the suit trousers (the same boots) with a black jacket, a plaid woollen scarf and yellow gloves. </p> <p><b><u>No 4</u></b> - experimenting with the suit trousers, worn with a black wool sweater, plaid scarf and my hunting bag - not sure it works though, but making an&nbsp;attempt to find a casual combo&nbsp;with the trousers :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>So what do you guys think about my taupe suit? Should I wear the pieces together?&nbsp;Thank you&nbsp;for looking and honest feedback, ideas and comments are very appreciated.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
