Yes, Annie Hall is quite the style icon, and worth remembering when you have some of those pieces.<br />Lisa--thanks!<br />Janet--good point about the scarf--it probably does work better that way. I also like the plaid shirt--I don't know that I have had a flannel...ever, and it is new.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394373 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 11:35:54 +0000 Janet 2394373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice that you already had the pieces to play with this combo. I like the plaid shirt in particular! </p> <p>I like the scarf tied — I think it works well because the rest of the outfit is very simple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394371 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 11:14:54 +0000 Lisa 2394371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carol - That is such an adorable crochet pattern! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394370 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 10:15:32 +0000 Ket 2394370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Carol!! You look terrific in lilac and burgundy! I love you in all of these. </p> <p>My faves are<br /> 1, the ruana is very pretty. I’m also a sucker for tissue turtlenecks. :)<br /> 4, great top on you and scarf adds drama<br /> 5, yes to Annie Hall!!! Might be fun to experiment more with?<br /> 9/10, wow this is fabulous on you! The layers, the lengths, and the unexpected hip scarf!! </p> <p>Your headband is lovely!! I love the delicateness of it. It’s a lovely find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394356 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 01:36:28 +0000 Carol 2394356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaime--thank you!<br />Sisi--thank you! I hear you on layering--I only play with outfit combinations when I need to make something work. I love trying new things.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394131 Mon, 25 Aug 2025 09:57:51 +0000 Sisi 2394131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in all the outfits but my favourite are&nbsp; # 5-8 and # 9-10. Lovely colors and interesting combinations. I (almost) never layer, because I am fussy and impatient, but I do understand that a layered outfit looks interesting and artistic. I love your shoes!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394059 Sun, 24 Aug 2025 00:06:07 +0000 Jaime 2394059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful combinations - I especially like #9/10! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394029 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 20:06:27 +0000 Carol 2394029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debbie--thanks!<br />Mirjana--thank you. I don't know a lot about layering, but I like it when it works. With your more classic style, I bet you could do thin turtlenecks under sweaters, vests, etc.<br />Lise--thank you! Yes, probably my artistic side squints at that challenge and tries to figure it out. Opposing planes and lines work---add in a low chain belt, and it would work even more!<br />Dee--thanks. I like when a skirt works, and this one does. The shoes are a lucky thrifted find from years ago, that still have a lot of life.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394028 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 19:59:40 +0000 Carol 2394028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa--thanks for checking out all of them! I scored with that ruana...I am not a big layering person, so this was a good exercise...I love that scarf! thanks. ...yes, this was a&nbsp; good match--the red and red. And I am enjoying turtlenecks more and more for their "neck" impact.&nbsp;<br />I never noticed that about my accessories--I probably do do a lot of patterned accessories. I love patterns in ge<br />neral! Here is a fun crochet pattern hat I have.<br />With the 3 layered shirt and skirt look--I am rather proud of that one, even though it's unconventional. And I agree! I think I pullled off the scarf trend, although I did not wear it out. I think it really needs to be played with to make it look natural.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394023 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 14:03:05 +0000 Dee 2394023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lots of flair and creativity in your outfits. Love those skirt combos on you especially, those lace shoes are fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394019 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 13:13:49 +0000 Star (Lise) 2394019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carol I love the last outfit.&nbsp; I was not that interested in the scarf around the torso trend but wow you have nailed it.&nbsp; Tied a bit looser and with the other shapes in your outfit it just works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394015 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 07:51:43 +0000 Mirjana 2394015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, these are great combos and you wear them the best way. This is a masterclass in layering . I like layering and for me doesn't work so I am always excited to see that on others. I especially like #6 , beautiful combination, and #11, scarf gives a special effect to the outfit, stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394010 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 03:36:44 +0000 Debbie 2394010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are very pretty combos and you look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2394007 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 01:12:25 +0000 Lisa 2394007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wear soft colors so well!</p> <p>1 - Pretty colors and print with the ruana which adds so much texture and fun to this outfit.</p> <p>2 and 3 - I adore this color sweater on you and it's lovely paired with the darker burgundy shirt for layering.</p> <p>4 - Another beautiful pattern and print with the scarf here. That teal and pink is divine!</p> <p>5 and 6- The peek of burgundy shirt under the sweater is such a fun detail for this layered look. And of course my matchy matchy self adores that your flat match your shirt and bag!</p> <p>7 - Another pretty print here with the bag. You have an excellent eye for prints with your accessories.</p> <p>8 - A fun layered look, the shoes are everything with this outfit, they had so much visual interest. The open style keeps the darker shoe from weighing down the outfit.</p> <p>9 and 10 - Fun layered look here as well. I like the peek of colors with the tripe layering on top. The pearl necklace and bracelet are a subtle and refined accent.</p> <p>11 and 12 - I need to try this scarf trend. It works very well with the skirt here. The white in the scarf also picks up the pearl necklace really well too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2393999 Sat, 23 Aug 2025 00:37:23 +0000 Carol 2393999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i>Angie--wow, nice catch! I always thought of that look as more Annie Hall, but you are right--that is quite similar!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/layers-of-lavender-and-burgundy#post-2393996 Fri, 22 Aug 2025 22:48:06 +0000 Angie 2393996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Creative, playful, having fun with fashion, and I spy a pretty pearl bracelet, <b>Carol</b>!&nbsp;</p> <p>I echo<b> merwoman</b> - pretty ruana in #1!</p> <p>&nbsp;I like the way things came together in #5!

I do find it a delightful combination, and so I decided to try it out.&nbsp;</p> <p>1. Tissue paper turtleneck, gifted, with reversible patterned ruana, Chicos. I don't wear too often because&nbsp; it falls off! But very pretty.</p> <p>2. Bubblegum/lilac cable knit sweater, Shein/thrifted, with burgundy plaid flannel, Jockey.</p> <p>3. and reversed</p> <p>4. Mock turtleneck/ruffle-sleeve lavender sweater with patterned square scarf, both QVC.com.</p> <p>5. Same sweater as 4, same flannel as 3, with felt wool hat, heart purse, and well-loved Mary Janes</p> <p>6. showing thrifted, well-loved plaid purse--goes with plaid shirt</p> <p>7. showing thrifted floral shoulder bag</p> <p>8. tissue paper turtleneck under lavender sweater--looks better in person</p> <p>9. fun one--turtleneck with muscle tee with Madewell short-sleeve sweater (thrifted)....if you see a spot on my face--it's the mirror...</p> <p>10. same</p> <p>11. trying the scarf challenge!!!</p> <p>P.S. Ket--I know you asked what head band I bought recently--here it is in gold. I will try to make it a find.&nbsp;</p>
