I will link back to this post to remind everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1083058 Wed, 13 Nov 2013 00:46:30 +0000 Aida 1083058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! The white really gives the outfit some wonderful brightness and the matching twinset is a great little nod to matchy-matchy. The blue necklace adds some additional lengthening. Hubby has a good eye I'm sure the other version looks fab, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082916 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:29:35 +0000 Karie 1082916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit on your red skirt is perfect. The white tops are gorgeous and they are the perfect backdrop for your&nbsp;blue necklace. I hope in the future&nbsp;you'll wear the outfit you had in mind and post pics of that too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082891 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:11:27 +0000 Anonymous 1082891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie that this look is fresh and pretty. The skirt is wardrobe gold. But, I lovelovelove red with tan, and hope that sometime you will also show us that outfit. Did I say that I love red with tan? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082890 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 22:10:36 +0000 Anonymous 1082890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack! That blue necklace is so clever. looks amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082876 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:59:10 +0000 Ingunn 1082876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love bright red with light blue and white, so you know I'm sold on this! I think your own idea would have been a bit less "sassy librarian", but I love libraries, so this is definitely a winner in my book;) The skirt is perfect for you - no wonder you love it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082836 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 21:16:27 +0000 Amy 1082836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082743 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:42:58 +0000 Angie 1082743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think DH has a great eye, just like his wife.&nbsp;</p> <p>That red&nbsp;skirt is divine. It's fresh with the white set, and pretty with the turquoise neck candy.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082733 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:38:14 +0000 Aquamarine 1082733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those specs! I recently got a similar style because they reminded me of my fabulously stylish aunt in her photos from the 1960s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082702 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:19:51 +0000 Day Vies 1082702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter -&nbsp; I agree it's a little different. I generally don't wear my twin sets together but I wanted something low contrast so the necklace would pop. I kept saying to myself I look a little "sassy librarian". </p> <p>Kkards - The tan turtleneck was to be &nbsp;paired with this skirt and a skinny black bow belt. I was going to do the same foot wear and hosiery. I think DH was attracted to the contrast of this look. The necklace was specifically for this look --not the tan. </p> <p>Lyn67 -- you know when I get home this evening, I might be inclined to post the look I was leaning towards. </p> <p>Shevia - you're a smart girl! Of <i><b>course </b></i>my alternative would have worked just fine. </p> <p>Aquamarine -- I did feel a little retro. I am not sure if you've seen the<a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-rain-1" rel="nofollow"> pictures of me in my white frames </a>but they certainly enhanced the retro vibe. </p> <p>Windchime -- my only hesitation in wearing/preferring this outfit was the fact that my office runs cold and I thought I wouldn't be warm enough. The tan turtleneck is a silk nylon mohair&nbsp;blend, which would no doubt would have kept me warm. Surprisingly without thermals this twinset did alright. </p> <p>Neel - I think you're learning that I love modern classic but I need a little something unexpected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082696 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:16:44 +0000 Beth Ann 1082696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's beautiful!&nbsp; White lights up your face and showcases a pretty necklace.&nbsp; Red is energetic and feminine.&nbsp; The fit on the skirt is perfect, too.&nbsp; The shoes are simple, but add a bit of texture.</p> <p>Tell DH he did well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082693 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:15:20 +0000 Anonymous 1082693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a lovely combination DV, but I also think yours sound interesting too. You do look very fresh and ladylike.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082687 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 19:11:05 +0000 Thistle 1082687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely!&nbsp; I would be interested to see your version, too. DHs has a lot of strong contrast, yet it is still ladylike and a hint retro. A bit different than your normal choices, but still very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082408 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:45:01 +0000 Neel 1082408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit would have been unexpected. But this one is an expected combo with a twist due to the pop of blue :). You look sleek and elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082380 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:21:49 +0000 Windchime 1082380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darling skirt and fun necklace. DH has a good eye! How did you feel in this compared to the tan and black? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082377 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:19:11 +0000 Aquamarine 1082377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look elegant and lady-like and a little retro. Your combo sounds fab too, but I suspect a completely different feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082358 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:59:24 +0000 Jaime 1082358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think DH gets credit for this, although I suspect your alternative would have worked as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082337 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:37:37 +0000 Anonymous 1082337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a really pretty skirt. I think it looks nice with the white, but I think your combo sounds lovely too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082336 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:35:36 +0000 lyn67 1082336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can we also see the alternative outfit, pls? (Joking-YLF:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082330 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:27:32 +0000 El Cee 1082330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why that skirt is your favorite. It is absolutely beautiful on you. I like your little experiment. DH has a good eye. The pop of blue is unexpected and fun. You look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082312 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 11:44:31 +0000 kkards 1082312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the simplicity of this. the white white makes the red and blue pop in a way that i think the tan would not.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082311 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 11:42:00 +0000 carter 1082311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty. Different vibe than we usually see from you, but you look great as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/red-cream-and-a-touch-of-blue#post-1082308 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 11:20:54 +0000 Day Vies 1082308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this is my favorite red skirt. I chose it the night before and DH happened to really like this combination over the alternative which would have been tan and black. He said he liked the pop of blue and thought the tan turtleneck I had in mind was a little bland. I thought it was interesting that he had such a strong preference opposite my own. I thought it would be an interesting experiment to wear his preference instead of my own. What are your thoughts on the result? (DH can take it, he's a big boy )&nbsp; </p>
