Those shoes are old Daniella Lehavi. Her brand has been an Israeli high end staple for decades and I have thrifted lots of her bags and shoes. The off white bag in #3 is also DL.&nbsp;<br />Thank you <b>Celia</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289467 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 21:28:35 +0000 celia 2289467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe plaid is your print. All the outfits look great and although the first outfit atracts me more in terms of color they are all fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289455 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 20:22:24 +0000 Jonesy 2289455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaime, I love that particular Dries collection and have a silver plaid jacket (from TRR) from it, so I totally recognize the plaid :). Some of his collections really stick in my mind. Anyway, you look fab. If you are still reading this, what is the brand for your silver shoes in #1? They are so beautiful and cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289397 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 13:35:44 +0000 Angie 2289397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jaime</b>, I must have had that outfit in my subconscious! The green earrings and sneakers are delicious together. LOVE IT on you! KILLER :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289375 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 03:06:08 +0000 Jaime 2289375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for looking and your kind comments.<br /><b>Zaeobi</b> - Interesting! I agree the first is dusty but I don't think of it as warm, although the second one is closer.&nbsp;<br /><b>Jonesy</b> - Wow, what a memory! Yes it is Dries and it is tricky because it is sort of a cardigan jacket hybrid in terms of structure and I have a hard time with cardigans as they tend to slide out of place.<br /><b>Rachylou</b> - :)<br /><b>Suz</b> - Excellent point! Perhaps that is the through line?&nbsp;<br /><b>slim cat</b> - Thank you - I do like a high contrast look!<br /><b>Mirjana</b> - Thank you! And yes our summers are long!<br /><b>ChristelJ</b> - Yes, I guess you are right - I tend to go with what I like and analyze later.<br /><b>kkards</b> - Interesting! Although I do not think of myself as having boho style, I have been noticing lately that I am drawn to a lot of "boho" type pieces, especially tops.<br /><b>Olive Green</b> - Thanks!&nbsp;<br /><b>Helena</b> - Don't you mean you like the drama of the high contrast !<br /><b>suntiger</b> - Works beautifully for you!<br /><b>RobinF</b> - Yes, agree about Suz's point!<br /><b>Dee</b> - Plaid is totally optional of course!<br /><b>UmmLila</b> - Glad to hear I am in good company!<br /><b>LJP</b> - Thank you - that top is exactly what I mean by going with something I like over what something in my colors.<br /><b>Star</b> - Thank you!<br /><b>Carla</b> - Shoe game is my favorite game .<br /><b>Irina</b> - Thank you! What a fantastic compliment!<br /><b>Jaileen</b> - Thanks!<br /><b>Sharan</b> - Yes, perhaps my palette is just wide? Thank you!<br /><b>kellygirl</b> - Aww, thank you!<br /><b>BlueJay</b> - Thank you!<br /><b>Angie</b> - Hope to see the plaid red skirt! Attaching the first way I wore both pieces ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289372 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 02:38:38 +0000 BlueJay 2289372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of them are lovely!

You make plaid look elegant! Love all of these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289360 Wed, 02 Nov 2022 00:44:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2289360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fantastic. I can't pick a favorite. I agree with what Suz said about the plaids and color. Each outfit is cool toned and medium contrast. The last one is the highest contrast, the second one the last cool. But all are in a range that really suits you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289283 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 15:38:20 +0000 JAileen 2289283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outgits really suit you. &nbsp;I love them, but especially #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289277 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 14:52:52 +0000 Irina 2289277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfits! I often find that plaid tops or shirts look too casual but yours look elegant to me. Love your jeans, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289273 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 13:57:26 +0000 Angie 2289273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute plaid top outfits! What strikes me most is how well you wear shades of purple and bright green earrings - (maybe wear them together?)</p> <p>I'm with you on liking plaid at all volumes. Currently, I need some loud plaid in my wardrobe. Somehow, over the years, those pieces bit the dust. I don't like things too quiet. I feel calmer with some noise. Have my eye on a loud red plaid skirt!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289265 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 13:34:47 +0000 Carla 2289265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE THEM ALL! &nbsp;#1 and #2 especially. &nbsp;Your shoe game here is A+. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289262 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 13:13:14 +0000 Star (Lise) 2289262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colours in 1 are fab on you but I love the contrast of 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289261 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 13:10:34 +0000 LJP 2289261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Lisa in loving #2. Such an elegantly casual look . &nbsp;Lots of great pieces here - the plaid jacket-ish thing is interesting too . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289259 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 13:04:37 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2289259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All lovely. I like #2 because the neckline of that blouse is so lovely on you. I am a color magpie as well. I don't aim for a cohesive color palette at all and I will wear anything that looks pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289256 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 12:49:20 +0000 Dee 2289256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, you wear all kinds of plaid really well, that berry coloured one is really lovely.<br />For some reason I never feel that great wearing plaid tops. My plaid collection consists of only 2 plaid winter scarves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289252 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 12:31:29 +0000 RobinF 2289252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really do wear all of these colors well! I think my favorite is #1 because I love that pink on you but these are all really fun looks. Suz's comment was a bit of a lightbulb moment for me. I'm going to have to check that out for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289247 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 11:56:09 +0000 Anonymous 2289247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one most too! Nope from me re: color palette, I stick to mine like glue </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289243 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 11:20:52 +0000 Helena 2289243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fabulous in these; I have a little extra love for the black and white but that's because I'm boring with colour :D</p> <p>Love your cuffed jeans too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289242 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 11:19:03 +0000 Olive Green 2289242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number one also a fave, and number three, so I guess am voting for a warmer palette, but each is very, sorry for the word, CUTE, on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289236 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 11:09:22 +0000 kkards 2289236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I associate plaid with preppy or grunge, but you’ve managed 4 fab outfits that don’t give either vibe, and somehow the middle 2 actually give boho vibes, which i would never have associated plaid with.<br />Re #1, you might think you have trouble styling that jacket, but for what its worth, that one is my fav, love the way you picked up the burgundy in the jacket with the bag, and the silver/pewter shoes are the perfect complement&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289229 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 10:13:54 +0000 ChristelJ 2289229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such handsome plaids, and the colors all look terrific on you. It makes sense that you would gravitate towards colors that work for you, without having to think about it too much. Your stylish footwear and bags are always eye-catching, too. I think #1 is my fave, for the colors and the entire look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289217 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 08:15:34 +0000 Mirjana 2289217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabolous! Very interesting plaid pieces, all work beautiful on you and perfect styled. I especially like #2 and 3 , great loafers in #3. You are lucky still summer weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289210 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 04:54:52 +0000 slim cat 2289210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab! Love the #1 as a perfect berry/blue combo and #4 as great complement for your gorgeous hair ( all pieces work on you! ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289201 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 02:55:17 +0000 Suz 2289201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jonesy said. You look fantastic in every one of these! What makes the jacket tough to style? It is the collarless round neck of it? It looks fantastic here, I must say. Like the footwear, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>What I will say is that every one of these plaids has a bit of grey or white or off white that picks up the tones in your hair. Therefore, all are cohesive. It's a slam dunk! I have vowed for the rest of my life to <b>try </b>not to buy any pattern without a hit of a white, silver, pale grey because I have noted that those are the patterns I wear the most and find the easiest to style (with the silver hair.) Of course I semi-regularly break my own rule but it's definitely a useful guideline for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289199 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 02:34:24 +0000 rachylou 2289199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite of course is #3 - all the colour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289190 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 02:06:28 +0000 Jonesy 2289190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it allllll! Special love for #1 (Dries plaid jacket thing if I am not mistaken? there is no indication whatsoever that it wasn't super easy to style!) and those silver shoes are amazing!</p> <p>I am the exact same when it comes to advice about color palettes--if I like it and it feels good, I will wear it :). I am much more interested in saturation, muddiness, and complexity than what is considered cool or warm in terms of colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289189 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 02:03:37 +0000 Zaeobi 2289189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Different colours or not, they all look fab on you! I particularly like the slightly dusky/ warmer tones of the first two (though I may be biased lol) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-selfies#post-2289186 Tue, 01 Nov 2022 01:56:53 +0000 Jaime 2289186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2022/10/21/outfit-formula-loud-plaid/">Angie posted about plaid</a>&nbsp;I was inspired to take a look at the plaid in my closet. No surprise, more than I had realized .<br />Here is a sample of plaid tops I have worn since then:<br />1. Love the colors in this jacket thing but it is not super easy for me to style.<br />2. Quieter plaid with some shine.<br />3. Plaid top that Angie once featured but I bought second hand.<br />4. Recent fun find - Equipment black and white plaid shirt.</p> <p>So my conclusion is that my color palette is all over the place and that I like plaid at any volume. When it gets a bit cooler I will be able to wear my plaid pants and jackets . I am also realizing that advice about color palettes seem to have no effect on me. If I find it and like it I wear it. Any thoughts about which plaids work better or anything at all welcome! Am also curious if I am alone in my eclectic color choices. Thanks for looking! </p>
