Pick tops in bright pinks, turquoise, cobalt blue....you're gonna look fabulous in no time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-691437 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 21:33:09 +0000 Anonymous 691437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 and #5 scarves are wonderful! Tie them like #5 and another look to try is long and knotted once without wrapping around your neck - which I always feel looks like I'm being choked! It looks great on you, but just something to think about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-691432 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 21:29:04 +0000 biscuitsmom 691432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, your scarves are fabulous! Can you tell me how, or where, you learned how to do #3? Adore! SO wanna steal it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-691372 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 20:01:32 +0000 Angie 691372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for being a sport, JR. You are fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-691293 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 18:36:33 +0000 JR 691293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie. One of my main purposes here is to learn what flatters me and what doesn't. And for that, I need people to be upfront. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-691108 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 15:00:48 +0000 Angie 691108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JR, I'm going to be a mare and apologize upfront :(</p> <p>Pass on the top. That is not not a good colour on you no matter how you're trying to save it with a scarf.</p> <p>You do have a nice scarf collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-691064 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 14:27:02 +0000 JR 691064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie, desperation is the mother of invention, LOL! I've been wearing and accumulating scarves for years, so I've had lots of chances to learn.</p> <p>Thanks for all the input, ladies. This is how I finally went. (Excuse the tacky arms-length self-portrait.) The sweater proved to be unnecessary, and I really would have been too hot with the white scarf, so it all worked out for the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-690587 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 22:24:16 +0000 KathyL 690587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 5 the best followed by 2. I love all the creative ways you tied your scarf! I also agree with harmonica and krista that pink and turquoise would look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-690580 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 22:10:09 +0000 JulieJohn 690580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is my favorite for color. You certainly know a lot of cute ways to style scarves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-690576 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 22:04:32 +0000 merwoman 690576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 for me - and especially if you wear cognac footwear ( I seem to remember you mentioned something alcoholic). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-690526 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 21:14:16 +0000 JR 690526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colour-wise, I think #5 would be the way to go. It would make the sweater work together with the outfit better.</p> <p>But there's no way I would be wearing it all evening inside; it's not that cool. So I'll probably wear #2, and bring #5 in my purse in case I spill on myself and need coverage. ;o) Hey, one reason I love scarves is because they are more functional than jewelry. Warmth, camouflage, head covering, they are there for you in all kinds of circumstances and can be repurposed on the fly. Not that I dislike jewelry; it's just less versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-690478 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 20:30:25 +0000 Krista 690478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #5 with #2 as plan B.</p> <p>Also, I will echo Harmonica's point about pink or blue - with your gorgeous white hair, I think you will be able to rock the brights up close to your face. All in good time, though - no need to add shopping to today's list of things to do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-690472 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 20:20:22 +0000 jayne 690472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for 2...seems to complement you and the shirt best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-690443 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:53:35 +0000 Anonymous 690443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think like 5 the best, since I think your bottoms are khakis, right? would just wrap it around one more time and leave the ends looking like this. See pic.</p> <p>It's ok if some portion covers the lace detail. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-690428 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:35:20 +0000 JR 690428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, all of these colours look a little richer in real life, including the top.</p> <p>I also found a little silk ombree scarf that echoes the gold and the khaki, along with rust and a muted black (if that makes sense) that could be just wrapped around my neck and tucked into the top. I'm running out of time for taking photos, cropping and posting though. I do have to get things done around here... ;o)</p> <p>Harmonica, I do love those colours, but I don't have scarves in those shades, and particularly not in a pattern that would blend with the gold top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-690406 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 19:13:02 +0000 catgirl 690406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of these, I like 1 and 2 the best in terms of going well with the top color without being startling. 3 is too harsh on you and the top, and 4 just seems off in color (though I love the color!). I'm never a big fan of white, so have no judgment there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-690394 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 18:53:52 +0000 harmonica 690394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I see them </p> <p>I like #5 best because it seems to brighten up your face. Do you have any turquoise or bright pink? I think you would rock those colours too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-690393 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 18:51:27 +0000 harmonica 690393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm - I cannot see the scarves. Can you try to add the pics again? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/styling-the-drab-top---scarves-to-the-rescue#post-690387 Fri, 10 Aug 2012 18:47:01 +0000 JR 690387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The general consensus on my outfit was that it was lacking in colour. </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwillw-to-supper-with-friends" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....th-friends</a></p> <p>So I hit my scarf drawer. Here are five scarves, tied various ways. Which colour do you find works best, and which way of tying? I can obviously retie the winning scarf to match the best shape. Thoughts?</p> <p>ETA: *sigh* And I forgot to add the photos... </p>
