I really like the floral shirt over the turtleneck, too. Love Angie's idea of flared pants with that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333635 Sun, 06 Aug 2023 02:22:29 +0000 Jaime 2333635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also noticed how beautifully the lilac and gold plays up your coloring in #8. Your mixes are super fun and the dress is great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333631 Sun, 06 Aug 2023 02:11:14 +0000 Carol 2333631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b><b>Olive Green</b>--thanks.

I agree that the layered blouse/turtleneck looks good. I think the fact that they're such different shapes makes it&nbsp; graceful.&nbsp; And the shoes...yes, I love them. My first Nikes! They jazz up any outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333527 Sat, 05 Aug 2023 00:07:10 +0000 Suz 2333527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in the dress in #11! It's really pretty on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>The hat is also adorable on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>And I think lilac is a terrific colour for you! It's fun to experiment like this. I like the turtleneck under the blouse, actually.&nbsp;</p> <p>Oh, and the shoes in #2~~ ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333514 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 22:05:06 +0000 Angie 2333514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Flared corduroy pants are soooooo '70s :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333512 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 21:52:38 +0000 Carol 2333512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b>--thanks for the advice! I love the idea of flared pants, especially if I could get my hands on some cords.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333511 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 21:50:29 +0000 Angie 2333511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, <b>Carol</b>! Your pics are in the right format. Good job.</p> <p>My fave is the dress in #11, like <b>Mirjana</b> and <b>kkards</b>! Good fit and palette on you.</p> <p>The turtleneck under the blouse in #5 has a fun '70s appeal. I see it with flared jeans or pants! Add the adorable charcoal hat in #9 to that outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333509 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 21:39:31 +0000 Carol 2333509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Dee</b>--Thanks!&nbsp; a crochet vest, sure. I could see it with some fun glasses and a jean skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333506 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 21:21:44 +0000 Dee 2333506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lilac is a nice colour on you, fun experiments, the striped top outfit looks fine, but somehow I too, see you as more flowy. Maybe a longer crochet vest might be something to try with it.<br />The dress is lovely on you, I really love the way you’ve styled it too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333504 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 21:16:51 +0000 Carol 2333504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>kkards</b>--Thanks. I do prefer casual. As to flowy or structured, not sure which one I really am. I will say about #5-7 that that is something I totally would have worn if I were still working in an office, or living in New York.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333503 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 21:07:35 +0000 Carol 2333503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Mirjana</b>--thanks, it is a very easygoing dress.</p> <p><b>Sally</b>--I did try it with ankle boots, but decided not for the photo. A jacket would be super fun. I'm thinking like a fur hood one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333502 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 21:07:32 +0000 kkards 2333502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nodding along with Mirjana, my fav is the dress in #11<br /> I don’t know your style that well , but #5-7 feels more tailored and corporate and I think of you as more casual and flowy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333490 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 19:32:32 +0000 Sally 2333490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the loose dress over the turtle neck with the leggings. I can see it worn with some ankle boots.&nbsp; I like the jeans and sneakers too and think it would look perfect with a jacket of some sort.&nbsp; Dress at the end is very pretty.&nbsp; Lilac is such a subtle colour.&nbsp; I don't actually have any lilac myself.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333487 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 19:21:26 +0000 Mirjana 2333487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice turtleneck, but my favorite is the dress #11 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lilac-attempts#post-2333480 Fri, 04 Aug 2023 18:08:48 +0000 Carol 2333480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today Angie's post was all about lilac and the colors it goes well with. It's a beautiful color, but also not one I think of a lot, like many people.&nbsp; My childhood was full of pastel clothes and itchy sweaters, so now I lean towards more sleek or funky stuff.</p> <p>Yet I remembered I had a lilac turtleneck in my wardrobe, and decided to play with it.&nbsp; Lands End...they make such good turtlenecks.</p> <p>First is the turtleneck.&nbsp;<br />Second through fourth is the turtleneck with thrifted striped tee and tropical colored accessories, including Nike Airforce One shoes...trying to pull in the orange.&nbsp;</p> <p>5 to 7 is with a black skirt with sillver buckle, silver jewelry and layered floral tee.</p> <p>8 is with jewelry.</p> <p>9 is my least favorite--a baggy dress over a turtleneck sounds really cool, but didn't work for me. It is the mocha type color discussed in the blog, but maybe not my colors and shapes. I do like the charcoal hat and leggings with it for fall. Uggs looked terrible, so I put it with leopard pumps. Where am I going in leopard heels and a Target jersey dress? Who knows! Adventure awaits.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>10 and 11 are an easy summer dress I forgot about--maxi dress from Cuddl Duds. Paired with silver flip flops, silver hexagon hoops, and a blue baseball cap.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>PS--Angie, the last time I posted photos, you said they weren't working right. Let me know if these do. Thanks.&nbsp;</p> </p>
