Such kind words! We're in the middle of a snowstorm now, astonishing that it is 80 degrees in other not-so-far-away places. Jaime on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309804 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 02:31:14 +0000 Jaime 2309804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I especially like #4 - I can see why the skirt is a favorite! Sloper on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309802 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 02:28:35 +0000 Sloper 2309802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the gingham and houndstooth mix, and #4 is super! Tanya on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309781 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 00:39:04 +0000 Tanya 2309781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love #4 - the soft blues and layers are magical together.  The first outfit is great, too, a fun interpretation of the formula. kkards on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309776 Thu, 23 Feb 2023 00:17:38 +0000 kkards 2309776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You have clearly mastered layering!  Well done,   #4 is just soooo good…I’m bookmarking it to try and copy, Suz on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309772 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 23:58:52 +0000 Suz 2309772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, you had a great time playing with this formula. I think the second outfit works brilliantly! I can understand why that skirt is a workhorse; it would be for me, as well, and I wish I bought it while available! :)  The first outfit also works -- you're right that the coat does a lot of grounding.  Brooklyn on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309769 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 23:25:22 +0000 Brooklyn 2309769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great work! I think the first outfit works very well (the pattern mix makes it look modern and interesting). The skirt outfit is fantastic. Yay for daytime metallics! ChristelJ on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309756 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 22:27:13 +0000 ChristelJ 2309756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don’t think #2 is too busy. I like the pattern mixing very much. #4 is gorgeous and I am trying to learn a little about layering from you. It’s surreal looking at winter outfits when it is 80 degrees here today. Janet on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309743 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 21:49:48 +0000 Janet 2309743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow, great layering! I love these. You nailed it. A little jealous of the ice down here. We’ve had very little weather cold enough for any snow or ice, which I love to photograph! It’s going to be near 80 tomorrow — too soon! BlueJay on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309730 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 20:51:18 +0000 BlueJay 2309730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you SO much Inge, Cardiff girl, and Runcarla! WOW! Such enormous and lovely compliments! Inge, I will always have a soft spot for pattern mixing too! (And to think I was debating about posting at all...!) Carla on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309725 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 20:41:13 +0000 Carla 2309725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ #4 is one of the best outfits posted by anyone since the start of the year.  Amazing styling!  You look fabulous❤️!

And I personally don't feel the gingham + houndstooth combo in outfit 1 is too busy without the black coat (but I do love pattern mixing in general;-)</div><div>The skirt look is all kinds of awesome, and you wear this pale blue so well.</div><div>Thank you for sharing the snow pictures too; so beautiful! </div> Irina on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309712 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 20:02:50 +0000 Irina 2309712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ More love for baby blue outfit.

Fun exercise! Angie on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309707 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 19:43:08 +0000 Angie 2309707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Look at you nailing the formulas! Impressive :)  Pic #4 is especially KILLER, and an excellent Spring outfit! Try buttoning your shirt all the way to the top too.  Pic #2 works really well! The double check is awesome!  And the crystal ice is awfully pretty. BlueJay on "Layered" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layered#post-2309702 Wed, 22 Feb 2023 19:31:50 +0000 BlueJay 2309702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie's <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2023/02/10/outfit-formula-lots-of-layers/">outfit formula</a> of layering made me really think about my clothing items in a different way than I usually do: "Note the types of items that are being layered, their lengths, their proportional mix, and the levels of contrast between them. Note which of the colours are repeated in the outfit, and which are not. Choose any colour palette." Analysing the colours in the outfits resonated with me. Pictures 1 & 2: I don't think I would have ever paired this gingham shirt with this vest as I think the patterning is too busy, but with the black coat, I think it grounds the "busy-ness." Also, I usually wear different tops or sweaters with these pants. The clothing proportions are different, with the vest not as roomy as the model's sweater. I wore this to the mall. Pictures 3 & 4: Running errands outfit. It was a warmer day last week, so the shirt and sweater kept me warm, while the lighter coat worked to keep out the wind. I do wear this white shirt with the sweater on top, but I would never had thought to match the coat to the sweater. In spite of this skirt being shiny and silver, it's proving to be a workhorse. (I think I like this outfit better.) Pictures 5-7: Lots of heavy rain overnight last Thursday, then a slooooow freeeeze. The ice looked like melted wax, which was neat. With the sun, it made the trees look like they were crystal encrusted and gorgeous! Thanks for looking! Comments and suggestions always welcome.
