Love the shoes and can't really comment on your last photo it's a little too dark to see properly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-830416 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 19:32:29 +0000 Mander 830416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those shoes! They might even go well with the bird blouse.... ;-)</p> <p>I'm a big fan of wearing multiple shades of the same or a similar color together, without trying to find an exact match. And I rather like the combination of teal and lime-y green in the same outfit, so I am a bit of an enabler in that sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-830401 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:37:53 +0000 Hil 830401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a fan of blouses in general, so I vote to return, but those shoes - WOW! They are just amazing! They would unfrump any outfit! Luverly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-830010 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 03:03:34 +0000 Sarah A 830010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you might consider complimenting the shoe with another fun color as opposed to try to match. Perhaps a bright cobalt or yellow handbag or other non-clothes item? </p> <p>Aida for a bit posted a lot of close color pairings so you might search her posts to see two shades of green playing together nicely. Perfect match not required! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829986 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 02:05:56 +0000 dizzys 829986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, in regards to dots and stripes.... I love dots and have a black and white blouse.....stripes I love, but I have not found one that works for me at all with my bust......small/ large it all seems to be bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829975 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 01:47:20 +0000 Jaime 829975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like outfit #4 a lot! Agree that the elastic waist doesn't look right with the first blouse. Fun shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829973 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 01:44:33 +0000 dizzys 829973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, so I went from bad to worse ehh...? But it matches the fantastic shoes! :-)....the shoes are the thing....I did not realize they would be so GREEN...most of my greens are in the teal family.....so now I need more green.....but I love the shoes they are staying!!!</p> <p>OK so the blouse will go back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829952 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 01:12:34 +0000 lyn* 829952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote return too, I also like the birds more.</p> <p>Those shoes are awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829949 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 01:11:08 +0000 CocoLion 829949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked the birds better yesterday. Sorry, I vote return. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829921 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:47:05 +0000 dizzys 829921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chelsea Crew....you can find them at DSW or Mod cloth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829908 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:27:23 +0000 amiable 829908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Distracted by those fabulous green shoes! Those are sooo cool! What are they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829907 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:26:22 +0000 annagybe 829907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should return the blouse. Sorry not a fan. I like what unfrumped said. If you are trying to make a small wardrobe then you are going to be repeating wearing certain items a lot. A noticable pattern like that is pretty memorable and it will be more obvious that you're wearing it again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829903 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:23:23 +0000 dizzys 829903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First two are the blouse in question. Second two are existing wardrobe pieces..... sorry for the confusion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829894 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:18:54 +0000 unfrumped 829894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Photo #4 is dark b u t from what I can tell I think I like that outfit. Blouse in #1 could.be more iffy.<br /> For color scheme in wardrobe a basic idea is to have enough solids that play well together and fewer , but some people.love pattern and do very well with lots of it. I may tend toward too many patterned tops.<br /> Have you considered some classic patterns like stripes or polka dots? They are timeless and usually don't have to worry as much about " granny" factor as with florals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829886 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:12:24 +0000 annagybe 829886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm bit confused as to what existing and what's new? I'm not really a fan of the elastic waist in #1-2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829882 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:06:47 +0000 dizzys 829882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and how is the granny quota on this one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-blouse-trying-cohesive-wardrobe-or-too-similar#post-829881 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 00:05:24 +0000 dizzys 829881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In attempt to streamline my small wardrobe and make everything a little more cohesive, I may be trying and buying things that are too similar to each other. Last two photos are of a new blouse and cords that I have and is a love for sure....( I posted this last week) the first two are a blouse I purchased that may be going back.....they have the same purple and in that flowy material. They also have a green and rust.....is this cohesive or too much the same? How do you differentiate and vary wardrobe when you are working with a small set of colors? </p>
