Summer may be a good time to try for more simple outfits as it is not comfortable to have lots of layers.<br /> Katerina, you are always looking so polished and elegant.<br /> Slim cat I bought that scarf to tie red and brown together. I need to experiment with it more.<br /> Irina, I also like 1-4 best. You are not plain! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joining-the-plain-on-the-train#post-2191115 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:19:03 +0000 notsaf 2191115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The chocolate brown is downright GLAMOROUS. So sharp with the contrast with your hair and the glam shades and bag. Possibly my favorite ever look on you, Joy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joining-the-plain-on-the-train#post-2191099 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 22:28:01 +0000 Katerina 2191099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, you are elegance personified… I love your versions of plain. The beige taupe outfit is gorgeous with the textures and the metallic shoes. The brown outfit blows me away - soo elegant. Although I love big scarves too, my favorite is the “plain” version of the brown outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joining-the-plain-on-the-train#post-2191078 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 20:49:59 +0000 slim cat 2191078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With my preference for prints I do enjoy the addition of red&amp;brown scarf - but all look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joining-the-plain-on-the-train#post-2191041 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 19:15:11 +0000 Irina 2191041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful combination of browns! My favorites are 1-4. Plain me likes plain outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joining-the-plain-on-the-train#post-2191034 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 18:39:55 +0000 Anonymous 2191034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I added a dark brown outfit that I tried to keep plain. Usually I would use a leopard print bag and/or scarf and maybe leopard flats too. I have very little dark brown in my wardrobe. The long cardi I am wearing barely made our move but was such a winter workhorse that I brought it. The last two photos show a brown and red thrifted scarf that reminded me of Fashintern’s red jacket with brown. This is not what I would consider plain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joining-the-plain-on-the-train#post-2190970 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 14:02:20 +0000 Anonymous 2190970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your comments and encouragement.

Really good look. And you also added shine (shoes) like a pro. This is a very arty, but earnest, playful and sincere look. (I am lacking the right adjectives). I don't know why, but what comes to mind is that this is the perfect outfit you would wear to the Nobel Price in Literature drinks &amp; mingling party after you have received an award (...!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joining-the-plain-on-the-train#post-2190884 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 04:34:17 +0000 Suz 2190884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texturally so rich! It's the farthest thing from plain to my eye, but the pieces are minimal and so I think it works with the theme! Joy, I think you are a natural maximalist, so Jil Sander minimalism is a stretch!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joining-the-plain-on-the-train#post-2190882 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 04:31:36 +0000 Anonymous 2190882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Shevia, Rachylou and Runcarla, for your great comments. I had not realized that I had so much texture and some shine in what I thought was a simple outfit. Tomorrow I will try again. Is black and white too much contrast for a plain outfit? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joining-the-plain-on-the-train#post-2190874 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 03:40:19 +0000 Carla 2190874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a very handsome look, Joy. &nbsp;Individually simple garments, but a very interesting texturally rich composition when all together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joining-the-plain-on-the-train#post-2190871 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 03:32:50 +0000 rachylou 2190871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazingly unplain for plain!

Scarf was thrifted years ago, silver sneakers and earrings made from beer can pop tops are silvery colored and from an art fair. Small bag is consignment. I feel plain until I take off the shoes indoors and see the tan wool socks with big white pokadots that look wild beside the rest of the outfit. Can I ride the train?<br /> ETA: this outfit is a dark chocolate brown EF long sleeved tee and wide pants. In the first photos (3-5) I am wearing a long cashmere brown cardigan, taken off in the last photo(#6) The scarf is the plainest brown one that I have, an old brown silk square with some white polkadots. The dark brown shoes are old Me Too patent flats with square toes. </p>
