I am wearing black tights under the pants and a black tank under the shirts for warmth. I did try to black jacket and thought it looked ok.

This one repeats the Paige Hoxton black jeans, features and old EF thrifted cotton light tan sweater and an old silk scarf. Shoes are EF black flats with fancy black socks, small consignment bag is a subtle pattern mix with the scarf, a tweedy Black and Tan. I am wearing natural wood and fiber (grass?) and pearl bracelets. I’m not sure the light tan color qualifies as brown but it is darker than white and I hoped that it blended with my hair here.<br /> It is a color that is hard to impossible to find these days. The sweater has a hoodie. I may be too old to be wearing a hoodie. I welcome your thoughts and ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-mini-challenge-a-new-week-with-pattern-mixing#post-2166941 Thu, 21 Jan 2021 15:05:59 +0000 Anonymous 2166941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Ledonna. Yes, the dress is very warm, warmer than regular wool or cashmere but just as soft. It is great for deep winter and snowy days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-mini-challenge-a-new-week-with-pattern-mixing#post-2166938 Thu, 21 Jan 2021 14:58:16 +0000 Ledonna N. 2166938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Joy&nbsp; Your pattern mixing skill are so advance yet they blend together so well.&nbsp; I love the grey dress but agree with Angie.&nbsp; Is it very warm?&nbsp; It looks like it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Your pattern scarf is so beautiful&nbsp; You do wear them so well.&nbsp; Love your Ingratiation outfit.&nbsp; Comfy yet complementary <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-mini-challenge-a-new-week-with-pattern-mixing#post-2166937 Thu, 21 Jan 2021 14:53:11 +0000 Anonymous 2166937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Mirjana, Bijou, and Minaminu, for your lovely comments.

It is certainly a favorite and seems to go with everything.<br /> Thank you for all the compliments, Angie. Once I saw a box of DIY pearl hair coloring but it was gone in minutes. Maybe when salons open again I will see if I can have my hair pearlized.

Both outfits feature my experiments with brown and black. Today’s is black EF black asymmetric cardigan with dark brown Vince skinnies and Met Museum Morris scarf.<br /> Yesterday’s taupe brown pants with an old black sweater and open taupe jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-mini-challenge-a-new-week-with-pattern-mixing#post-2166515 Wed, 20 Jan 2021 04:47:36 +0000 Anonymous 2166515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your comments! You are so kind. The layers under the dress did cause lumps that I saw in the photos. Angie I can’t wear high rise anything right now. It interferes with the glucose monitor.. I may have to try a new system soon with the sensors placed on the upper arm. It is an insurance issue and a step backwards in technology, but I hope my arms will not get the brushes and bruises that my stomach has. If so, I will be forced to wear longish sleeves all year and loose ones. A. new wardrobe challenge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-mini-challenge-a-new-week-with-pattern-mixing#post-2166472 Tue, 19 Jan 2021 23:02:46 +0000 Anonymous 2166472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pattern mix works for me, since it's just the 2 colors. I like the dress too, and don't think it's too short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-mini-challenge-a-new-week-with-pattern-mixing#post-2166421 Tue, 19 Jan 2021 19:27:27 +0000 AJ 2166421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your pattern mixing skills are more advanced than mine!&nbsp; :)<br />I really like the dress.&nbsp; Maybe the turtleneck and tank underneath was causing the cling that Angie mentioned?&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />I really like the brown bag and loafers.

I'm impressed! KILLER :)</p> <p>I don't find the dress too short <b>Joy,</b> but it's a little clingy on the midsection.

I do think the pattern mix works, but I agree that maybe a plain shoe would look great and keep the focus higher up to your lovely top and scarf!</p> <p>The dress is not too short and echoing the comments about your fab legs! I think I might try it with a thicker pair of tights as you mention you often wear it, but that is a personal preference on my part.</p> <p>YLF and thanks for sharing these awesome outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-mini-challenge-a-new-week-with-pattern-mixing#post-2166360 Tue, 19 Jan 2021 12:13:59 +0000 Star (Lise) 2166360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is totally fun the way it is although I do agree with you regarding your suggested tweaks.&nbsp; The dress is definitely not too short.&nbsp; PS:&nbsp; I am now growing in my natural hair (2 months in) and if it turns out nearly as gorgeous as yours I will be thrilled, so thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-mini-challenge-a-new-week-with-pattern-mixing#post-2166359 Tue, 19 Jan 2021 11:33:38 +0000 kkards 2166359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh i love #1, well done<br />the dress in #2 is fab, and looks great.

It's a slam dunk. The PC dress looks super cozy--not too short at all. I think I'm getting so used to midi lengths that I feel like a lot of my dresses are too short now--but DD's have assured me that they aren't! YLF! </p>
