Happy B-day to your grandpa!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutrals---ill-play#post-534845 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:03:12 +0000 Aida 534845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! (Happy 89th, Grandpa Cobaltblue woo!) I really like the sweater, if the collar is in good shape I'm sure you can reuse it. Sorry I can't comment on the color, but I will keep it in mind when I see future WIWs from you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutrals---ill-play#post-534621 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:24:49 +0000 cobaltblue 534621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! </p> <p>Dear Victoria, you in no way offended me! I can always use encouragement to bring out my bright colors. Monochromatic looks will always have a special space in my heart too, though!</p> <p>Glad to hear the charcoal looks okay, Claire, Nakidra, et al. I have enjoyed this vest, but it's already getting pretty pilly and saggy after one winter, unfortunately. Maybe I'll reuse the collar in a new vest next year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutrals---ill-play#post-534616 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:14:19 +0000 Anonymous 534616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Becky, this is really cute! I love the vest, and I think the charcoal is really good on you. I think it's just your lighting. If you don't feel fab in brown, skip it or just use it in shoes and accessories. Congrats to your dear Gramps! What a happy occasion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutrals---ill-play#post-534538 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:57:06 +0000 Ginny 534538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>great neutral outfit!!! way to go grandpa!!! #89 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutrals---ill-play#post-534358 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:35:19 +0000 Nakidra 534358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are incredibly adorable!! I think the vest really makes the outfit. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutrals---ill-play#post-534264 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:20:43 +0000 Meredith1953 534264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that brown is a lovely color. I DO usually like it teamed with something sort of coppery or orange. That is a VERY interesting vest you are wearing! Looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutrals---ill-play#post-534261 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:17:10 +0000 celia 534261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like grey as a neutral for you.This outfit is very sophisticate.<br /> I find brown as a neutral difficult ti feel sophisticated, for me it seems always very earthy.But I know others have a diferent opinion.<br /> Have you tried navy blue as a neutral? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutrals---ill-play#post-534257 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:13:27 +0000 Victoria 534257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the outfit looks great. Having said that, I don't think that brown is the best for your coloring. Its actually a hard color to wear. I think if you wear grey, you should pair it up with a brighter color. for example, maybe put a brighter color under the vest? I'm sure there will be ladies who will disagree with me but I'm not a huge fan of wearing everything in a neutral tones. I think little color is always needed whether its a clothing item or accesory. I hope I didn't offend:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/neutrals---ill-play#post-534233 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:56:57 +0000 cobaltblue 534233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WIW to my grandpa's 89th birthday party:</p> <p>JCrew striped grey/offwhite tee<br /> AT LOFT dark grey knit vest with faux fur collar<br /> GAP grey bootcuts<br /> Black heeled boots from DSW<br /> Pearl necklace</p> <p>Do you think these neutrals suit me? Brown has never felt/looked right to me, but I am not sure if my beloved dark grey is quite the thing, either. Part of the problem could be the bad lighting here...</p> <p>All comments, tips, and criticisms more than welcome.</p> <p>Becky </p>
