She was wearing a champagne velvet tunic/dress, brown leather jacket, quilted black otk boots, blue necklace, and tan suede bag. I really liked all of the different textures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet/page/2#post-1736599 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 13:40:26 +0000 Tanya 1736599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pixie market does a lot of items that are runway-inspired.</p> <p>I found this top:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pixiemarket.com/dusty-pink-velvet-mock-neck-top.html">http://www.pixiemarket.com/dus.....k-top.html</a></p> <p>There was a blazer, too, but it looks it sold out:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pixiemarket.com/pink-velvet-robe-blazer.html">http://www.pixiemarket.com/pin.....lazer.html</a></p> <p>Their merchandise turnover is pretty fast, so maybe they will get something that works soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet/page/2#post-1736596 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 13:26:38 +0000 RoseandJoan 1736596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ganni has a nice line in grey velvet Anna, I like their quilted skirt and roll neck top. <a href="http://www.ganni.com/shop/skirts/hayden-velvet-skirt/F1455.html?dwvar_F1455_color=Quarry" rel="nofollow">http://www.ganni.com/shop/skir.....lor=Quarry</a>&nbsp;<br /><a href="http://www.ganni.com/shop/shirts-and-blouses/hayden-velvet-blouse/F1454.html?dwvar_F1454_color=Quarry" rel="nofollow">http://www.ganni.com/shop/shir.....olor=Quarr</a><br />Sorry I'm unable to pics at present. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet/page/2#post-1736316 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 18:45:07 +0000 annagybe 1736316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traci, I actually like that satin romper, but the lace inset is such a *blech* addition.<br /> Neatnic, I saw that Anthro tunic, but to me it seems eh.<br /> Tulle, ha! I think what I want doesn't exist in my size &amp; price range. Although Rebekah's Sundance links are tempting. I have a tendency to get a wild hair that often fizzles out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet/page/2#post-1736283 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 17:10:13 +0000 tulle 1736283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, I must tell tell that you've planted a bug in my brain!&nbsp; Pale velvet was not even on my radar, and now I crave it.&nbsp; Those layered Nehera nomad ensembles are so fluid and beautiful--and so expensive--that I'm now trying to figure out a way to achieve the look at a reasonable price.&nbsp; I may sew a pair of those loose gathered pants from some mushroom-colored rayon/silk velvet, then layer on a champagne silk camisole, the lilac shirtdress from Free People, taupe boots, and who knows what else.&nbsp; This could end up looking ridiculously costume-y, I know, but the romance of it is so tempting, like a bleached version of St. Laurent's fabulous gypsy collections from the '70s.&nbsp; Just wondered whether you're still hunting, and thinking about ways of combining pieces to get this look for yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet/page/2#post-1736014 Wed, 05 Oct 2016 00:29:18 +0000 Traci 1736014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a vest. &nbsp;The romper is satin, not velvet, but I had to share anyway. &nbsp;Kohls of all places. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet/page/2#post-1734855 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 17:41:49 +0000 neatnic 1734855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a tunic from Anthropologie -- available in up to an XL, with a roomy design. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet/page/2#post-1734758 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 05:24:58 +0000 bj1111 1734758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rebekah</p> <p>I like that Amanda top, surprising since I'm generally anti velvet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet/page/2#post-1734693 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 01:46:57 +0000 rebekahphoto 1734693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw these pale velvets at Sundance:<br /><a href="http://www.sundancecatalog.com/product/70967.do" rel="nofollow">http://www.sundancecatalog.com/product/70967.do</a><br /><a href="http://www.sundancecatalog.com/product/velvet+splendor+top.do?sortby=ourPicks&amp;refType" rel="nofollow">http://www.sundancecatalog.com.....38;refType</a>= </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet#post-1734685 Sun, 02 Oct 2016 01:09:29 +0000 Carla 1734685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Top Shop has a 'Shop Velvet' link! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet#post-1734672 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 23:44:03 +0000 rachylou 1734672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pale velvet is brilliant.

I don't know anything about them although I think I've seen them at Nordstrom. Sizes only seem to go up to 12 though and some only go to 10. Here's some options that come in a 12:</p> <p><a href="https://www.missguidedus.com/shop-by-trend/velvet/velvet-kimono-sleeve-wrap-dress-nude" rel="nofollow">https://www.missguidedus.com/s.....dress-nude</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.missguidedus.com/shop-by-trend/velvet/pleated-velvet-cowl-shift-dress-grey" rel="nofollow">https://www.missguidedus.com/s.....dress-grey</a></p> <p>And this velvet cap is fun:<br /> <a href="https://www.missguidedus.com/shop-by-trend/velvet/velvet-cap-nude" rel="nofollow">https://www.missguidedus.com/s.....t-cap-nude</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet#post-1734477 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 14:32:15 +0000 Vildy 1734477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you on the light velvet. After seeing nothing but dark velvets for what seems like more than a year, I was thrilled to find a thrift store Adrienne Vittadini louche velvet blazer in champagne. Can't wait to wear it and I just picked up some similar color suede lower heel Capezio pumps in a very strict tailored style with slightly darker slim leather trimming. Not your style, I know, but it's definitely mine.&nbsp; I do say that you could even wear that velvet shark suit and make it look covetable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet#post-1734466 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 13:13:03 +0000 Traci 1734466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It might be worth scouring etsy and ebay. I believe velvet is pretty dyeable, so you could adjust the color on white pieces. &nbsp;I'd even be tempted to try bleaching out an inexpensive black item as a test piece. &nbsp;If you could bring black velvet all the way down to beige that might open up a ton of possibilities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet#post-1734464 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 13:07:04 +0000 Beth Ann 1734464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, what a beautiful inspiration photo. &nbsp;I'm a sucker for anything velvet. &nbsp;As a kid, I remember a red velvet coat, a chocolate brown blazer, a dark green dress........ &nbsp;Heck, I'll even settle for waleless corduroy in a pinch.</p> <p>I did see one structured jacket at BR. &nbsp;In citron (cool for others, but not for me) and a rich navy. &nbsp;These are very practical ways to bring in a velvet touch, but not nearly as luxe and dramatic as the look I think you're going for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet#post-1734461 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 12:57:05 +0000 Traci 1734461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I have a deep love for velvet.</p> <p>I was surprised by the selection on the Asos site. &nbsp;Some of these items may be worth trying to look at in person. &nbsp;The first top looks rust, but the color is called Dusky Pink. &nbsp;Maybe it's lighter in real life than on screen. &nbsp;I think some of these other items could give the look you want if you layered and paired them with other items in the palette you're looking for. &nbsp;I think a high neck victorian looking lace blouse under some of the very low cut vnecks could be gorgeous.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet#post-1734448 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 12:30:23 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1734448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the idea. I've been looking for velvet, too, and not finding much. Considering how it's one of the hyped trends of the season, you'd think there would be more in stores already.</p> <p>I tried a Zara velvet camisole a few weeks ago because it was a lovely shade of pink. However it covered almost none of my upper body. I tried to pass it off on my 17 year old instead of returning it and she refused. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet#post-1734412 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 10:17:54 +0000 Style Fan 1734412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love velvet.&nbsp; I have seen small amounts of it in retail here in Muskoka (2 hours north of Toronto).&nbsp; Free People I think?&nbsp; It must be coming.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pale-velvet#post-1734397 Sat, 01 Oct 2016 07:07:08 +0000 Kate 1734397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those pale velvets are beautiful Anna.
