I didn't mean that I get dressed blindly, if that's how it sounded.&nbsp; I need glasses for reading, so I put earrings on without thinking of glasses at all, but then when I get to work they often get added.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418/page/2#post-1959815 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 15:35:28 +0000 Anonymous 1959815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you , Angie. Pattern mixing is so much easier with fall clothes. &nbsp;And you're right about H&amp;M being one of the better fast fashion distributors - which is some small comfort . &nbsp;I'll be missing my annual fall cashmere purchases this fall, but enough is enough. &nbsp;Happy with less-costly alternatives that wear better. &nbsp;</p> <p>Elizabeth - I'm laughing at you and your earrings and glasses. Not sure if any of it &nbsp;makes sense, but I think I know what you mean &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418/page/2#post-1959783 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 14:15:48 +0000 Angie 1959783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOHOOO. Earth tones. </p> <p>LOVE the leopard coat with your hair and complexion, Lisa p. You look KILLER amazing in shades of brown. No more solid grey! ;)</p> <p>Very fun 2018 pattern mix. Earrings with the specs is a smashing change. Maximal fabness. </p> <p>Happy you bought your very missed scarf. That would make a total of FIVE patterns in this outfit. Why the heck not! </p> <p>And SOOOOO with you on not buying pricey-to-me knitwear any more. I’ve had it. High five. Buying cashmere from Boden and COS - and that’s it on the pricier items. </p> <p>Btw, H&amp;M might be fast fashion, but they are one of the more sustainable companies. Slow Fashion like Chanel is one of the LEAST sustainable companies at the moment. The irony of it all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418/page/2#post-1959778 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 14:04:30 +0000 Anonymous 1959778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Leg lengthening be damned.

I always wear earrings with glasses, but I've had them since 4th grade. I looked at your pics bf I read and had to look again--I didn't even see your earrings the first time, so I'd definitely say it's not too much. I.want.your.coat!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418/page/2#post-1959538 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 14:05:45 +0000 catherine 1959538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in every way. I am particularly partial to the muted animal print with your coloring. So good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418/page/2#post-1959527 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 13:52:29 +0000 chouette22 1959527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tonal outfit! So glad you pulled the trigger on that scarf, you have missed it dearly. I have the exact same rule and never ever wear earrings with glasses! Since I am a permanent wearer of glasses (and I like them on the funkier side, thus there is enough going on on my face anyway), I have completely given up on earrings. It wasn't hard, as they were not a big part of my style. I do have and wear a lot of other jewelry though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418/page/2#post-1959516 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 13:34:41 +0000 LoriFLA 1959516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't bought many clothes on Ebay. &nbsp;On the times I did, I received as advertised. &nbsp;I think your sweater outfit looks great and the earrings and glasses together look good to me. &nbsp;Knitwear at affordable price point is hard to find in good quality I think. &nbsp;I bought some washable wool v-neck sweaters from BR last year. &nbsp;They are just okay. &nbsp;I do like them because they are thin and streamlined, and layerable. &nbsp;The good thing about my climate -- I rarely break out the sweaters so they stay in good condition for years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418/page/2#post-1959513 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 13:30:05 +0000 Anonymous 1959513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Chris987</b> - I agree with the thrift store assessment. I can never figure out how and where anyone finds the good stuff. &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b> - my favourite sweater of the past year or so is cotton, and I didn't even realize it until I looked at the label recently to figure out what it was made of so I could replicate it. &nbsp;Ha. It's a very densely woven fine gauge brushed cotton with a bit of a drape, and totally warm enough for winter here. &nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you all, for the outfit approval. You know when something just clicks while you are putting it together ? Best feeling ever &nbsp;I wore that sweater all day for work, and it showed not one hint of stretching out, wasn't at all itchy, and no sign of pilling starting. &nbsp;Best $35 I've spent in ages ! &nbsp;</p> <p>As to the ebay order - the seller has 5 star reviews and bills her/himself as a closet cleaning reseller of designer goods. &nbsp;The scarf I ordered is apparently new with tags. &nbsp;Keeping my fingers crossed. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418#post-1959512 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 13:24:56 +0000 lyn67 1959512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fingers crossed, I'm so happy you've found your beloved scarf new and for a good price!! Love the fall outfit, suits you great! By us was the same, we went&nbsp;&nbsp;from a very hot a summer straight into rainy, chilly fall-in one day-yesterday!:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418#post-1959507 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 13:18:15 +0000 Chris987 1959507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>p.s. some of you must have fabulous thrift/consignment stores in your areas. My choices are not usually that great and sweaters are&nbsp;either &nbsp;very worn and shabby or&nbsp;too plain and boring to be interesting. &nbsp;Jealous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418#post-1959506 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 13:16:36 +0000 Chris987 1959506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit! As others have said the pattern mixing is really wonderful.&nbsp; </p> <p>I'm chiming in with another vote for less expensive knitwear.&nbsp;For example, I will never buy cashmere from Macys again, even at half price it's not&nbsp;inexpensive&nbsp;and it&nbsp;looks shabby and pilled&nbsp;after only about 4 wearings.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have&nbsp;another sweater&nbsp;in&nbsp;the brand Philosophy, a dense synthetic blend, which looks hardly worn after two years. I just bought a striped sweater at H&amp;M (more casual than yours) too but haven't worn it yet.&nbsp; </p> <p><b>Karen13</b>,&nbsp;I'm petite too, and I&nbsp;do sometimes find H&amp;M tops that work for me.&nbsp;Their sizing is&nbsp;all over the place so you have to be willing to spend some time trying on stuff, and weeding out the things that don't fit or&nbsp;feel like obvious junk. It's similar to&nbsp;how you have to approach shopping at TJmaxx/Winners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418#post-1959489 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 12:36:23 +0000 Bijou 1959489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am 100% with you on never buying exorbitantly priced knitwear again. The cashmere pilled and my fast fashion Zara knitwear has been a thorough workhorse that outlasted it and cost a fraction of the price.</p> <p>This is a beautiful outfit that just works so well for your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418#post-1959486 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 12:29:29 +0000 Joyce B 1959486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pattern mix outfit!

Subtle animal print, perfect. Great overall, I can't really wear H&amp;M because it seems to be made for tall people but I do like their style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-animal-prints-hi-lo-and-earthy-neutrals-wiw-92418#post-1959476 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:09:30 +0000 gryffin 1959476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa - this is awesome. Very defy pattern mixing. The kind I really love. Tonal, interesting, elegant, just wow. Earrings are perfection. I am sooooo happy you bought the scarf!!!! Yay!! You need it. It’s a signature.

The glasses and earrings work just fine. You have a great eye for pattern matching and accessories.</p> <p>I am mainly an ebay seller, but whenever I have bought from ebay, I've been very satisfied. Like SW Ann says, just read the seller's reviews, and carefully peruse the photos. I'd add that if you have any questions that aren't answered in the listing, then message the seller. Sellers are normally very responsive. </p>
