Fun to hear how your own complements are forming and working. </p> <p>The bag is a fun ‘90s throwback. Hope you find one in Canada, <b>Irina.</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-in-complements-mine-is-cream#post-2210056 Fri, 16 Jul 2021 01:03:32 +0000 Jaime 2210056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am intrigued by the different bag silhouette. (I have been thinking about bag styles lately.) Cream is such a great platform for you with your warm coloring and light hair. And those boots are my favorite NAS pick so far! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-in-complements-mine-is-cream#post-2210044 Fri, 16 Jul 2021 00:14:03 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2210044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kate, I bet you’ll wear the boots more often when you have the bag &amp; scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-in-complements-mine-is-cream#post-2210042 Fri, 16 Jul 2021 00:04:53 +0000 Anonymous 2210042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! My compliments are cognac and black, but want to do burgundy and dark brown too, and gold or copper for dressy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-in-complements-mine-is-cream#post-2210040 Fri, 16 Jul 2021 00:00:47 +0000 Kate 2210040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought an ivory scarf last winter that I wore all the time. It made me realize I needed an ivory crossbody bag. That’s something I will be shopping for. I have ivory low heeled booties, but I have to admit they got no love last year. I’m wondering—ivory oxfords??</p> <p>I built a copper complement for my summer wardrobe without realizing it. Complements do make outfit creation a whole lot easier! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-in-complements-mine-is-cream#post-2210036 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 23:39:50 +0000 Laura 2210036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect for your hair color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-in-complements-mine-is-cream#post-2210016 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 21:06:53 +0000 Anonymous 2210016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a winter compliment in mixed whites but will try cream.

Versatile for my style.</p> <p><b>Firecracker,</b> I'm sooo with you on your bag and footwear pairings, and how the strategy is a flop-proof styling tool. Handy.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>FashIntern,</b> I like to have an assortment of whites in my wardrobe, despite the fact that I match and mismatch them. White is my favourite neutral. I need to add solids to my wardrobe, and this is how I'm starting that refresh. (My gung-ho pattern gene needs some discipline). I am open to solid sour brights and blush pink too. </p> <p><b>Rachy,</b> it's a nice warm white.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-in-complements-mine-is-cream#post-2209943 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 15:28:24 +0000 rachylou 2209943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love!

But given the “whiteout” formula of mixing various whites, I’m surprised that cream/ivory/white makes such a difference. </p> <p>Nuance, looking forward to those copper pieces when you post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-in-complements-mine-is-cream#post-2209940 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 15:08:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2209940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Excellent tip! Thank you, Angie. <br /></div><div>I always need to have a bag that I know will go with each pair of footwear. I know there are other ways to match footwear or a bag to an outfit, but I feel like a bag and footwear that speak to each other is a no-fail strategy. I like your scarf idea, too, and in winter, gloves and hats come into play as well. <br /></div><div>And I wouldn't have guessed that ivory would not work. But I can understand it! Gorgeous complement.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thinking-in-complements-mine-is-cream#post-2209939 Thu, 15 Jul 2021 15:06:33 +0000 Tanya 2209939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this idea!

But I don't have a solid cream scarf or bag to go with them yet. I have white and off-white bags - but not cream (how is that even remotely possible???)</p> <p>So I'm building a cream complement by adding a light oatmeal scarf, and cream barrel crossbody. I'm sticking to solids because I wear a lot of pattern.</p> <p>By building a pretty cream complement - that matches the colour of my hair - I can add two to three of these items to an outfit and it will magically pull it together. It's a handy styling tool.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is an example of how I focus on Wardrobe Planning instead of Outfit Creation (see <b>Suntiger's </b>t<b></b>hread). I've found that when you build your wardrobe with the right pieces, the outfits fall into place very easily.</p> </p>
