I also like very much how the pendant picks up the golden in the skirt. Great peacoat, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perking-up-a-gloomy-day-with#post-1429923 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:10:56 +0000 Anonymous 1429923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab outfit Lyn! I love that the scarf has similar colours to your fantastic skirt, but has a different pattern. Lovely peacoat too. You've accessorised beautifully too...boots, bag, jewellery all very complimentary. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perking-up-a-gloomy-day-with#post-1429921 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:05:26 +0000 lyn67 1429921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, thanks ladies, you are really perking up my (next) day, today...pun intended:-)</p> <p>Appologies for not comming back to you later, but life (un)expectidly happens:-). I know my outfits are not that interesting regarding sillouttes, but Oh&nbsp;so loved the pattern of this skirtand &nbsp;it's also kind of a suede feel/texture to it, which is much different to my others, hence the posting. To be true to myself all outfit started with a taupe sweater, but decided to save that for a sunnier day, and went with the black instead, but yes <b>Laurie</b>, I too have all sorts of outfits in my head, with it as a base(including transition ones).</p> <p><b>Inge</b>, longer pendants and Ynecklaces&nbsp;were my go to jewelery some years ago, but they&nbsp;got&nbsp;forgotten&nbsp;since, somehow. It was like a fresh&nbsp;feeling to wear it again.</p> <p><b>Debs</b>, my hair is a mess right now, I've got a wrong cut some weeks ago, and still&nbsp;strugling with styling, esp.on the second day.&nbsp;Happy it's not that obvious in the picties:-).</p> <p><b>Angie </b>thank you for the compliment on my specs. They have grown on me since having them but&nbsp;always feel like adding black somewhere in my outfit for bookending. And, got to wear&nbsp;&nbsp;bolder eye makeup (esp liner and mascara), and&nbsp;&nbsp;lipstick again,&nbsp;for some&nbsp;more visible features:-).</p> <p><b>Shannon</b>-mine were homemade footless tights for this very first&nbsp;time (to see what happens:-))....but will search for some in the shops, thanks for reinforcing my&nbsp;enthusiasm.</p> <p><b>Suz</b>- never had a&nbsp; peacoat before(brainstornming about how your DM is calling them, but unfortunatelly did not come up in my mind yet:-(pls. help). I have only longer&nbsp;coats(including trenches)&nbsp;and some shorter jackets. It's a bit challenging to style it with colored and patterned skirts, as&nbsp;quite a bit of &nbsp;hem is showing under it-and for my untrained eyes that was&nbsp;schocking(!) at the beginning. Still, loved the&nbsp;curent details on this one (asimetric zippered front, zippered pockets) and&nbsp;I was eyeing it from beginning of the season but&nbsp; only got it in the new year,&nbsp;when all went&nbsp;50% off (+had a&nbsp;coupon) so I gave in and had to buy it-which comes up now it was a good decision.</p> <p>Hah, but <b>nobody</b> commented on the plug&nbsp;peaking out from my bag all day(in the last pictie), I guess it's a common look&nbsp;over the sea:-)))</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perking-up-a-gloomy-day-with#post-1429825 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 03:59:59 +0000 shipskitty 1429825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the skirt and the textures in this outfit but the&nbsp;scarf choice is inspired!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perking-up-a-gloomy-day-with#post-1429820 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 03:56:54 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1429820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is fantastic, Lyn!

I love this outfit on you Lyn. That skirt is magnificent on you - beautiful fit and gorgeous colors and pattern. And the pendant against the black top is beautiful....hmmmmm...you've got me thinking about adding back some of my jewelry into my outfits...</p> <p>Since I discovered footless tights, I am NEVER going back to the other kind. I love being able to wear my own comfy, cozy socks in my boots.

I can understand why it makes you happy. I really like the pendant with your black top too, it adds a bit of arty bling. I don't think the scarf is too match-matchy at all: it picks up the colours of your skirt beautifully.
