You look casually elegant, so perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216/page/2#post-1869619 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 22:46:50 +0000 Deborah 1869619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the way you have styled your plaid shirt here.&nbsp; The first time I every saw plaid and pearls worn together was on blogger Atlantic Pacific circa 2011 I think.&nbsp; Clearly this look has longevity :)&nbsp; I don't have any plaid but I have embraced black and white gingham but it's&nbsp;not really the same thing. I would love a pair of red and black plaid (tartan) skinny pants!! But like you I struggle with the plaid shirt and the fit.&nbsp; &nbsp;The pearls add a classic touch to the plaid, which I like, but I would be more inclined to pair with more modern, minimalist jewellery (but that's me).&nbsp; I could see a plaid with some of my 3D printed large earrings??</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216/page/2#post-1869529 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 18:17:21 +0000 Anonymous 1869529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to try the hair conditioner trick. &nbsp;Lisa, fab as usual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216/page/2#post-1869514 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 17:40:13 +0000 Elizabeth P 1869514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More outfit love from me!&nbsp; I also struggle with plaid shirts, yet I seem to be drawn to them - at least I have been for the last 2-3 years.&nbsp; I think it goes to the point that has been mentioned in various posts over the past week or so - how to keep them from feeling too preppy/classic.&nbsp; The pearls do the trick here, and you've convinced me I need to look for a set of chunky pearls.&nbsp; I love the colour of your shirt on you.</p> <p>Also agree totally with this: <i><br /> You know what's great about YLF? It often '</i><i>forces' or reminds me to pull</i><i> i</i><i>t together for weekend/everyday running around</i><i>.<br /></i><b></b>So true!!&nbsp; Well, unless I'm just going to Walmart :)<b></b> </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216/page/2#post-1869444 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 15:04:35 +0000 Janet 1869444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also don't wear plaid terribly easy, but I'm always attracted to it somehow. It's always a balancing act to figure out how to style it so it's not too masculine or too casual, and you totally nailed it. Olive is so pretty on you too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216/page/2#post-1869439 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 14:54:23 +0000 Anonymous 1869439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for such fun and kind comments! &nbsp;I never expected this ordinary old annoying plaid shirt would have so many friends &nbsp;I've kind of run out of gas for responding and commenting on the forum &nbsp;- it was a challenging weekend and I'm pretty depleted today. But you can bet I am keeping the plaid shirt !&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216/page/2#post-1869433 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 14:46:28 +0000 Isabel 1869433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, Lisa !&nbsp; What a fantastic outfit. My new fashion "word" is kicky. And your entire look is kicky because the more that I look at , it the more I get a kick out of : The plaid shirt, the pearls !, the lip color, the coat...it goes on. I may have to copy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216/page/2#post-1869414 Mon, 18 Dec 2017 13:07:05 +0000 lyn67 1869414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer! A wellused sillhouette I think of yours, but still a different one! The plaid shirt is matching so well the&nbsp; booties and coat,&nbsp; &nbsp;the statement pearl chocker is matching the furr on the coat and your hair-so it is all&nbsp; very refined, festive and casual, artsy and has the edge I always love in your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216/page/2#post-1869256 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 23:29:45 +0000 MsMary 1869256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good grief, how did I miss this before now!

Many years ago I used to love olive green but have been on the fence about it this time around. This combo of olive plaid, pearls and green jacket and shoes makes me ready to re-kindle my love for olive! Well done Lisa! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216/page/2#post-1869098 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 15:19:54 +0000 karen13 1869098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried knitter’s trick of putting a little hair conditioner in the rinse water for itchy wool? I have done this for Merino wool t shirts that are a bit scratchy and it worked. Not sure if it works the same way on women’s but that shirt looks so great on you it is worth a try, Cheap conditioner works great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1869058 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 11:39:59 +0000 Chris987 1869058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit! Love seeing an olive plaid this time of year...a little green to balance all the red plaids that are more common. That is one gorgeous olive shirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1869047 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 08:03:14 +0000 Carla 1869047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The way the pearls pick up the colour of your hair and the fur 'round your parka is great. Olive suits you very well. Casual at its very best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1869035 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 06:03:57 +0000 Dianna 1869035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Olive plaid and pearls!&nbsp; I would have never thought of it, but they go together beautifully Lisa.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1869034 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 05:15:17 +0000 Anonymous 1869034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want that plaid top! It is just right to wear with olive and black. Love the outfit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1869031 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 05:01:19 +0000 Beth Ann 1869031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've already put to use my biggest tip for plaid --- low contrast plaids are the most versatile and low-key.&nbsp; You get extra points for pearls and fur in a casual outfit!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1869012 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 03:45:47 +0000 Jaime 1869012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your thoughts and your outfit are neck and neck for what is best about this post. I also have a plaid top resistance - on me not others - but you are owning this. The dark color plaid is a completely different thing than a bright red based plaid. I hate when blouses ride up to choke me too. My kingdom for tops that stay put. The parka is perfect for you - love it.</p> <p>Enjoyed the No5 because of the pearls and the lipstick! I will add the "Dress as if you are going to meet your worst enemy today." Chanel quote that amuses me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1869008 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 03:14:25 +0000 annagybe 1869008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this so much.&nbsp;<br />The green plaid, the fur collared parka, the pearls, and booties....it works so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1868995 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 02:27:09 +0000 Suz 1868995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is one of my favourites of yours, ever, which is saying something since I love your outfits, full stop! Just love the colours here (or neutrals, here, I guess) with your own colouring, esp. the hair. Fab olive plaid shirt. I used to have a viyella shirt that did exactly what you describe (and I have a small bust) and it itched a bit, yet it was so warm and also the plaid was a subtle interesting one, like this...I guess the trick is to wear it on a truly cold day and maybe put a silky cami underneath? &nbsp;The pearls are just amazing on you. And, you know what? What is wrong with a good skinny? <b>NOTHING.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1868991 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 02:17:59 +0000 Bonnie 1868991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the pearls look terrific with the plaid. A few years ago DH gave me a beautiful but itchy wool plaid shirt that I couldn't stand to wear. Somehow it disappeared during a move.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1868982 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 01:42:32 +0000 karen13 1868982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well you took it to the next level and then some! I love the pearls with the plaid and Angie’s comment about them echoing your hair now explains why. Olive looks so good on you and this outfit is how I want to look when I’m running errand (or honestly going anywhere!)</p> <p>I want the boots and necklace now and I don’t even own anything olive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1868981 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 01:35:04 +0000 Anonymous 1868981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ANOTHER person who does not naturally wear plaid. I think you’ve chosen the perfect plaid shirt and I love how you’ve styled it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1868957 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 00:21:27 +0000 Sal 1868957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha I am not a natural plaid wearer either so I sympathise.&nbsp; I have seen some great renditions on YLF though and I like it on others .</p> <p>These colours suit you and while I like the shirt I adore the parka!! And you look fab:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1868955 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 00:17:29 +0000 Angie 1868955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER. The melangé of pearls looks fab with the tones in your hair. You look very streamlined in that shirt with the jeans, btw.&nbsp;</p> <p>(I wore our anorak today too - it's been a work horse, and Greg loves it).&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the kind words about the YLF community.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1868934 Sat, 16 Dec 2017 23:28:18 +0000 The Cat 1868934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look GREAT in that shirt. The olive colour as well as the shape seems to fit you perfectly. And the chunky white pearl necklace is a fun and unexpected addition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/saturday-plaid-and-pearls-wiw-1216#post-1868930 Sat, 16 Dec 2017 23:05:14 +0000 Bijou 1868930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can never go wrong with a bit of Chanel style. The pearls look beautiful with the faux fur on your parka. Definitely a pulled together weekend look. I hope you felt as great as you look. </p>
