It's good to be picky about the brights! Especially if you only wear them when the mood strikes -- if the color is wrong you'll probably never be in the mood to wear it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1862659 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 16:23:04 +0000 Lisa 1862659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lighter jeans for darker days, a great idea!&nbsp; I also really like you in colorful stripes, simply lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1862638 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 15:27:25 +0000 Sara L. 1862638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the necktie in #1 - probably because I just can't pull one off.&nbsp; I have a couple small silk scarves that I've tried to wear and they make me feel uncomfortable, like I'm wearing a costume.&nbsp; I love the skirt in #4 and the striped sweater in #5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1862623 Wed, 22 Nov 2017 15:09:17 +0000 LaPed 1862623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, your comment about bright vs muted really got me thinking, especially after Angie's post this morning. I love brights and saturated colours, but I'm really picky about them, and I almost always prefer smaller doses. They have to be just right for me to want to wear them. I love wearing red, for instance, but it has to be a true crimson red, not an orange-y tomato/poppy red. </p> <p>I probably would not have been nearly as attracted to the sweater in #5 if it didn't have those charcoal stripes -- they tie it all together and "ground" the softer, brighter colours. </p> <p>Also, personality and complexion aside, dark colours are sooo much easier with my lifestyle (see the giant toddler paintings on the floor in 5?). I wore a blush hoodie yesterday, and it's got mystery stains up and down the sleeves, and all I did was re-install some baseboard trim and heat up leftovers, lol. Now I have to take it out of rotation and see if I can oxy the stains out. My white denim jacket I tend to save for kid-free outings, for the same reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1862209 Tue, 21 Nov 2017 00:42:13 +0000 Aida 1862209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#5 was such a change after the muted palette of the other looks More love for #2 and #3, both look authentic and comfortably you.

Also glad the neckerchief works to others' eyes. I tried not to fuss with it too much.

Can’t resist a tweed jacket and this one suits you so well, looks great with denim and green.

I like the handmade and the cashmere striped sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1861734 Sun, 19 Nov 2017 04:20:26 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1861734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such different looks! Gamine in the first two pix, 70s style in the last one, and in between a sweet skirt and a straight-up tomboy. I can’t pick a favorite—they’re all very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1861719 Sun, 19 Nov 2017 03:27:06 +0000 Jaime 1861719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You looked fab all week! I especially liked #1 and #4 and love the striped cashmere - I can see why it's popular! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1861675 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 23:11:54 +0000 Anonymous 1861675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock this look so well. &nbsp;My favorite is number 1. &nbsp;It is perfection. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1861672 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 23:05:09 +0000 LaPed 1861672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Allbirds is a NZ company -- they're merino, so it makes sense. They came on my radar about a year ago, and I bought a pair this spring when they came out with the slip-on style. I'd tried the original lace-up sneakers but did not love how they looked on my feet (they fit a little differently, and the toebox is quite low volume compared to these, and I didn't like the look of my toes poking up under the fabric). Anyway, they're heinously comfortable, lightweight, and feel buttery soft inside (much softer than any of the synthetic knit sneakers I've looked at). They are supposedly machine washable, but I haven't tried yet. I've heard some people complain about them being too hot for summer wear, but I brought them along on a couple city trips this summer, and found them fine in temps up to 90, but my feet don't really sweat. They are not much fun in the rain -- squishy wet wool! That they're pulling double-duty as slippers is an unexpected bonus. I think Jenn has the lace-up ones, and possibly a few others here as well.</p> <p>Wow, JAileen, Audrey vibe is the ultimate compliment. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1861669 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 22:58:47 +0000 amiable 1861669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them all!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1861654 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 21:37:28 +0000 JAileen 1861654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well of course I like the handknit best, in both iterations. You have an Audrey Hepburn vibe going on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1861649 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 21:08:22 +0000 Jenni NZ 1861649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course I like the colourful one best! But I really like pic 1 as well, simple and sassy. I think Allbirds have a NZ connection. One of my receptionists at work has a pair which she raves about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1861648 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 20:58:45 +0000 approprio 1861648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great knitwear. Can't choose between the hand knit and the cashmere. Please tell me more about the Allbirds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1861642 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 20:31:29 +0000 Toban 1861642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your layering in #3 and the puffy skirt is really interesting. Would love to see it up close! Your style shines through in all outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/some-sporadic-november-wiws#post-1861636 Sat, 18 Nov 2017 19:45:47 +0000 LaPed 1861636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are these even in chronological order? Heck if I know!</p> <p>You can see some patterns here. Boring, sturdy shoes, for one! Our November means wet snow. My light-wash Levi's -- I'm liking lighter jeans for darker days.&nbsp;</p> <p>Most of these ended up with an ink blue puffer on top, either short or long, except for the one with the puffer vest and the one with the blazer.</p> <p>Today (#1) is the black henley, olive pants, and neckerchief (for a hint of cream). I wore this colour formula a lot late summer/early fall, using these chinos, a black tank top, and my white denim jacket. With my black-and-white sandals, it felt perfect. It feels all right with my cold-weather shoes, but not as perfect. Oh -- and I'm wearing the Allbirds in the pic as slippers; when I went out, I put on my Blundstones. Again. No bare ankles this time of year!</p> <p>#2 shows the silk scarf + sweatshirt mentioned in a thread on silk scarves last week. This colour palette makes me happy. I find sage + grey + navy very soothing.</p> <p>#3 -- handknit sweater from my mom, handprinted scarf off of Etsy. This feels very New England native wear to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4 -- same sweater, plus a puffy skirt!</p> <p>#5 -- colorful cashmere. This sweater is a lifesaver on grey days. My students love this one.&nbsp; </p>
