A good scarf makes everything more fab! I love it with the bright lipstick! I used to "fake" being healthy with bright lipstick! I can't anymore, it just makes me look old! ;)&nbsp;<br />Good luck with all your transitions! And I just wanted to note that I "lurk" quite a bit on the forums, I've been following several of your posts and I want you to know I really like your style!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-box-at-the-top-of-the-closet#post-1171939 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 22:44:34 +0000 Ornella 1171939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is not so gentlemanly, but but I also like it on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>What i'd suggest though is moving the scarf know a bit more down, so it creates that nice V shape like the vest did in the other thread. Also, maybe the knot could be a bit bigger and softer. Finally, you might&nbsp;search for "Angie knot" here on the blog or forum, it's a nice way to tie&nbsp;this type of scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-box-at-the-top-of-the-closet#post-1171409 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:31:33 +0000 Mander 1171409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah yes, those last few weeks before I had to hand in my dissertation saw me selling stuff on eBay, scrubbing the kitchen floor on my hands and knees, and doing all kinds of stuff that didn't involve actually sitting down and finishing the darn thing.&nbsp; But I finished it in the end.</p> <p>Too bad I didn't find any cool scarves in the process! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-box-at-the-top-of-the-closet#post-1171402 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:27:13 +0000 E 1171402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a gorgeous scarf!</p> <p>Good luck with all of the dissertating &amp; packing: what a terrible time for the flu to strike. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-box-at-the-top-of-the-closet#post-1171392 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:21:14 +0000 Helena 1171392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the scarf, it is very flattering on you.

The scarf is beautiful, and the top and jeans look slouchy in a good way, not sloppy. Feel better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-box-at-the-top-of-the-closet#post-1171158 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 04:56:50 +0000 Anonymous 1171158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the scarf!!
