I think #2 actually works really well because the scarf seems to coordinate with the neutral base while also bringing a bit of color in. I also love your jewelry!</p> <p>And I definitely understand how hard it is to work something new into your wardrobe. I think it's sometimes especially difficult when it's something that seems like a no-brainer basic, but somehow isn't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-pants-takes-2-3-and-4#post-1103034 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 22:59:51 +0000 JG 1103034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love here for look 3, but I also like outfit 1 for a quick errand and think you'll be happy with it for other purposes after a few tweaks. I like my simple black top and olive jeans with an animal print scarf or tortoiseshell jewelry. Another fave was my zebra print flats (off-white and muted black), recently purged. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-pants-takes-2-3-and-4#post-1103016 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 22:40:28 +0000 E 1103016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 is my favourite too! They all work really well though. The jewelry in 2 looks especially fab! I want to see that locket even bigger. *greedy*</p> <p>Haha to your last comment: I tend to buy variations on a theme rather than truly new things, so usually I can incorporate things pretty seamlessly. I did pick up a red skirt a few weeks ago that's brighter than my usual, and I definitely had to play dress up to figure out which tops paired with it though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-pants-takes-2-3-and-4#post-1102923 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 19:12:26 +0000 peacechick 1102923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! Why did you find it hard to work in the olive pants? Is it the color? I don't think it goes with everything, it's like brown. I think your purples will be lovely with it. Also have you any mustard? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-pants-takes-2-3-and-4#post-1102873 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:59:18 +0000 Anonymous 1102873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another pick for 3 as favorite.&nbsp; I agree, it's crazy (but a times fun) playing around with new pieces.&nbsp; <br />I have olive cargo pants that I wear to death.&nbsp; I actually think they work as a neutral.&nbsp; I like pairing them with bright tops.&nbsp; Blue, purple and red work really well. As does of course black and also brown.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-pants-takes-2-3-and-4#post-1102867 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:53:05 +0000 Anonymous 1102867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fav is #3! This should be an interesting challenge -keep up the good work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-pants-takes-2-3-and-4#post-1102864 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:51:59 +0000 pil 1102864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job! I'd like to replace my own olive pants, but it can wait. What about tying the scarf in #2 so it is more of an infinity scarf? Less to fuss with that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/olive-pants-takes-2-3-and-4#post-1102859 Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:41:27 +0000 MuseumGal 1102859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So today starts my no blue jeans December.&nbsp; I'm still working on styling the olive pants.</p> <p>1 - Worn Wednesday to run errands and grab some last minute turkey day supplies - black T, black buckle boots, and old casual coat (it's actually my field coat).&nbsp; I was fairly happy with this for casual, but wanted more texture and interest for my next try.</p> <p>2) What I put on this morning to drive from our little house on the prairie down to my apartment for a week of work.&nbsp; Grey T, same black buckle boots, and floral silk scarf.&nbsp; Also worn with my "book of spells" locket necklace and some dangly earrings.&nbsp; This felt fussy (I knew that scarf wasn't gonna stay put), and I wasn't happy with the colors in the scarf.</p> <p>3) Once I got to my apartment and the majority of my wardrobe, I swapped out the black boots for more gracile grey suede booties.&nbsp; I have a student meeting this afternoon, so wanted a blazer - grabbed this old grey one, and then the only scarf lightweight scarf&nbsp; I have with grey in it is this light purple silk number that actually matches the lining of the jacket, for secret matchy matchy&nbsp; happiness.&nbsp; Same necklace, but swapped out the earrings for these dangling amethyst and sterling silver ones, which clearly need to be shined.&nbsp; Also lipstick to distract from my eyes which are puffy and weeping (damn sinuses).</p> <p>Well if you read all that, thank you!&nbsp; I'm pretty pleased with the final effort, and now I'm off to the museum to work for the afternoon.&nbsp; </p> <p>Isn't it ridiculous how much effort it takes to incorporate something new into your existing style?! </p>
