The Bobbi Brown liner, and Stila Stay All Day liner in Pink Moscato are my two that get used every day. &nbsp;I have multiples of each and stash them everywhere. &nbsp;It gives the lipstick something to "stick to" too. &nbsp;</p> <p>nemosmom - thank you ! &nbsp;I'm having fun with this cut which allows me to wear it up in a faux hawk, or down in a classic pixie. &nbsp;</p> <p>carla - we found the perfect condo to rent, and couldn't pass it up. &nbsp;Too perfect to believe. &nbsp;So we get in there April 1, and our house will hit the &nbsp;market this coming weekend, if all goes well. &nbsp;It's been a real whirlwind. I have thinned out my summer wardrobe by half, donated almost half off my outerwear (maybe more) and my footwear is down to the pairs that truly matter. Nothing second-best. &nbsp;I love this!!</p> <p>Angie - yes to my version of "all black". &nbsp;You should see what my coworkers wear : faded horrible cotton cardigans, pilled &nbsp;black sweaters, black t-shirts, etc. &nbsp;No one says a word to me &nbsp;These chelsea boots were on my radar last year, but I couldn't justify the purchase at that time. When Brown's reissued the style this year, I had to jump. Gorgeously sleek , dressy and comfortable . Brown's makes the best footwear. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-a-two-colour-print-with-another-two-colour-print-wiw-219#post-2004291 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 18:14:11 +0000 gryffin 2004291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theme and variation.&nbsp; So uber elegant.&nbsp; Just stunning.&nbsp; You know I'm so on board tunic, skirted leggings and booties!&nbsp; Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-a-two-colour-print-with-another-two-colour-print-wiw-219#post-2004287 Wed, 20 Feb 2019 18:11:19 +0000 Jane 2004287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

Those prints play so nicely together. For some reason, I find pattern mixing when one patterned element is a scarf pretty to be effortless.

Wearing TWO two-colour patterns makes perfect sense - even when they aren't the same palette.&nbsp;Is this an example of an "all-black' outfit for work? I like how you bend the rules. Those boots have a lovely sleek and crisp line.&nbsp;</p> <p>And yes. GO AWAY WINTER.

It owes me nothing, and I will miss it when it's gone. &nbsp;But it absolutely <b>needs another print to "bring it out"</b> and to add interest to the outfit. Despite being an interesting piece with &nbsp;it's asymmetric cut and unique &nbsp;print, it <b>doesn't have enough power to make a look</b>, which is indicative of a lot of two-colour prints. &nbsp;I always, always <b>add in a third colour</b> (an olive satin bomber instead of the black blazer is my other go-to here) <b>or</b> <b>second print</b>, and it makes the top come alive. &nbsp;These skirted leggings are a little big now, and haven't retained their shape very well over the years, but like the top, they owe me nothing and have been a solid workhorse. &nbsp;When going through my closets and packing for our upcoming move (5 weeks and counting!!) , I "found" this great ponte blazer with silver side zip vents that hasn't been worn in years (oops) &nbsp;and loved wearing it to work yesterday. &nbsp;*all black dress code*&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Nothing new or trendy here</b> , but I love it just the same. &nbsp;</p> <p>Skirted leggings - motto (old)<br />Top - random boutique find &nbsp;(old)<br />ponte blazer - Anne Klein (old)<br />scarf - McQ<br />earrings - Hilary Druxman<br />boots - Browns Couture - new<br />lipstick - Bobbi Brown Brown liner, Smashbox Pretty Social Lipstick ( I own three of these and keep one in every bag and work backpack. )&nbsp;<br /><b>coat - Gap</b> - new Fall 19. <b>Another top buy for me</b>. I wear it dressed up , and dressed down, and with every piece in my closet. &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Will winter ever end?</b> I'm ready to start wearing some different clothes soon, thankyouverymuch. &nbsp; </p>
