You look splendid in your coordinating masks and I do agree they are the new scarves - just as eyeliner is the new lipstick.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/masks-are-the-new-scarves#post-2122830 Sat, 23 May 2020 15:30:25 +0000 JAileen 2122830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You’re matching masks look great. &nbsp;I especially like the polka dots.</p> <p></p> <p><div>I’ve been using leftover scraps of fabric, and my masks look it. &nbsp;However, I ordered some fabric on Etsy, of my college. &nbsp;I had to buy a yard, so I can make several from it, and I plan to give them out to a few relatives and friends who went there. &nbsp;Hopefully I don’t run out of steam before I run out of fabric! &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>ETA: &nbsp;In my neck of the woods, scarves won’t be replaced by masks, because I wear scarves for warmth in winter.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/masks-are-the-new-scarves#post-2122786 Sat, 23 May 2020 12:18:22 +0000 cindysmith 2122786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I HAVE been doing the same. I generally wear a solid color mask at work (essential worker also), but when I'm not working I do try and pick a mask that goes with my outfit, like the light blue polka dot one I wore with my light blue outfit a couple of days ago when I had a day off </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/masks-are-the-new-scarves#post-2122777 Sat, 23 May 2020 10:43:47 +0000 Scarlet 2122777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very chic!

Wondering if I should get more, since they won't let me stay wfh forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/masks-are-the-new-scarves#post-2122586 Fri, 22 May 2020 21:12:27 +0000 Roberta 2122586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Johnny Was masks are REALLY nice; patterned silk front and oxford stripes back. I did wash them because the cotton sizing bothered my skin a bit. I loved them when it was chilly because they kept my face warm.&nbsp; They have a pocket for a filter, but I don't use it.</p> <p>But the truth is that the paper ones are the most comfortable, so that is what I almost always wear at work.&nbsp; I hate taking it off, putting it on, back and forth, and the paper ones let me leave it in place all day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/masks-are-the-new-scarves#post-2122574 Fri, 22 May 2020 20:45:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2122574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Those are great coordinated-mask looks! <br /></div><div>Yes, I've been doing the same--not working, but when I go out, I wear a mask, cowl/neck gaiter, or bandana, and I try to coordinate it to my outfit. I'm gathering a face-covering capsule.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/masks-are-the-new-scarves#post-2122573 Fri, 22 May 2020 20:43:11 +0000 Suz 2122573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, brilliant!! You look amazing. Trust you to amass a fantastic collection of colourful and pretty masks! And you might be right -- they may become the new scarves.&nbsp;</p> <p>So far, I like the ones that Runcarla sent me best of my lot. I got some from a Canadian company, Encircled, and first, they arrived all black (SOB) -- there was no choice on colour -- and second, they don't stay on me. Fail.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another, from an Etsy seller, is cute (cat print!!) but the elastics are uncomfortable and come undone.&nbsp;</p> <p>So I'm still in the market for good options.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/masks-are-the-new-scarves#post-2122549 Fri, 22 May 2020 18:53:45 +0000 Star (Lise) 2122549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here in Bulgaria where thankfully virus numbers have been low we have been allowed to wear scarves instead of masks by the authorities all along.&nbsp; As I have a nice collection I have been co-ordinating my scarf to my outfit obviously :)&nbsp; Either a small scarf tied bandanna style or a long neck scarf wrapped around the whole head covering the nose and the mouth. &nbsp; Since 14 May we only have to wear these when entering shops, etc.&nbsp; I love the dotted Breton top you are wearing - so darn cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/masks-are-the-new-scarves#post-2122548 Fri, 22 May 2020 18:50:22 +0000 Laurie 2122548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leave it to you, Mary, to look so amazing and have so many outfit options as well.&nbsp;<br />I got a leopard mask in the 3 pack from Karen Kane, so I always feel sassy in that one. But I'm wearing mostly plain white, the ones that I ordered from Quality Mask Supply.</p> <p>Nice to see you! I love the Boden top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/masks-are-the-new-scarves#post-2122545 Fri, 22 May 2020 18:29:59 +0000 MsMary 2122545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I ordered some of the Johnny Was "neutral" prints for my husband because he liked the floral ones so much!</p> <p>I wash all of them before I wear them because I don't&nbsp; like the new-fabric smell! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/masks-are-the-new-scarves#post-2122544 Fri, 22 May 2020 18:20:11 +0000 Janet 2122544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the dots are so perfect for you! Love it.</p> <p>I will have quite a little collection of masks. I ordered some early on in the pandemic days, and since they have not yet arrived, I kinda forgot and ordered more. LOL. But that's ok, it will be good to always have a fresh one since they get put in the wash after every wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>I ordered one from a dressmaker friend, four from Threadless.com (two for hubs and two for me), and four from Johnny Was. The Johnny Was just arrived and yes, I was a little disappointed to see they were made in China too. But they are cool looking -- great prints. But I'm washing thoroughly first before wear. The Threadless ones are yet to arrive. And my sister sent me two homemade ones that a friend of hers made. So I'll have options for every outfit! :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/masks-are-the-new-scarves#post-2122540 Fri, 22 May 2020 17:53:32 +0000 MsMary 2122540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, the polka dot and leopard ones are from etsy from this seller:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/PeekaZoo?ref=simple-shop-header-name&amp;listing_id=793361093">https://www.etsy.com/shop/Peek.....=793361093</a></p> <p>The floral ones are from L.A. fashion designer Johnny Was.

So cute. You are killing it, Mary! Did you make your masks or did you purchase them? I'm still trying to figure out which ones I like best.

I am an "essential worker" so I've been going to work and dressing up this whole time. And although I sit in my office with my door closed most of the time, I have to wear a mask when I'm out and about. So since I have to, I've been coordinating to my outfits!</p> <p>Fun with fashion no matter what the circumstances, says I! Anybody else doing the same thing? </p>
