The fit, the fall, the way you've filled in the neckline with the scarf (scarf, right? not turtle-neck?).</p> <p>Anyways, I haven't read all the comments... but you have done an all-statement outfit to perfection. I think the key is the muted contrast between pieces and the muted contrast between the pattern elements within each piece. Oh wait a second, I have to go *heart* this thread, so I can remember this strategy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q/page/2#post-1433836 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 17:00:34 +0000 MsMary 1433836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Be still my heart. This is one of your best outfits ever!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q/page/2#post-1433822 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 16:51:36 +0000 lyn67 1433822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF Michelle very polished, curent AND put together, wow! Love the shoe choice, they are very smart to this outfit-so they may be another statement piece, you have not thought at, LOL! I do have a similar pair of jeans with tonal (or textured?)&nbsp;animal pattern, and I do know they are subtle enough to be successfully paired with any other pattern, but your florals are still very subtle. Love&nbsp;it's &nbsp;blackened effect, and cape is surely not only fab and &nbsp;comfy but practical, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q/page/2#post-1433804 Thu, 29 Jan 2015 16:32:05 +0000 approprio 1433804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing.

I have no idea why. It's not like Nordstrom stopped carrying Steve Madden stuff. And the item was immensely popular the one season it was available., Marianna, who was working at Nordy's at the time, literally called stores across the country to help me find the damn thing in my size because it was selling out so fast. Based on that experience I thought the odds were good that SM would bring it back, but no such luck. One can hope, though. Long live the unstructured topper trend!<br />Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q#post-1381732 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 14:19:45 +0000 Michelle 1381732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies! <br />I was told there are lots of colours in this blouse - reds, some green, either some pink or purple (I forget). Is that showing up here or&nbsp; not really?<br />Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q#post-1381724 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 14:13:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1381724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore tonal outfits with textural interest and this outfit has it in spades!

Wow, I had forgotten.&nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q#post-1381374 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 02:27:11 +0000 Michelle 1381374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies! I guess the true moral of this essentials vs statements thing,, at least for me, is not to overthink it. I'm so pleased that it works visually, because I felt excellent all day. A nice bonus on a day that proved tougher than most for my country in general and newsrooms in particular.<br />So glad everyone still loves the cape, because you'd need to break out some seriously Churchillian oratory to persuade me to part with it. Marianna, I have you to thank for it - remember how you hunted it down like a bloodhound for me? :)<br />Your reply </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q#post-1381362 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 02:20:33 +0000 marianna 1381362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That cape is sooooo ultra glam and fab… wow!

It's one of my favorites of yours ever. Definitely not over the top to me. I can see why that cape is a favorite find--what a stylish and cozy looking topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/q#post-1381214 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 23:49:37 +0000 Diana 1381214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, I think it's just right. The pieces all work together beautifully because the color palette is dark, primarily neutral, and tonal. It has a lovely textural richness. </p>
