Inspired.<br /> Something about the colors as well as patterns- and maybe the shared mustard- gold. </p> <p>I have not been as bold but have been doing some subtle patter mixing this year and find it helps me feel more creative and “ the boss” of my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151359 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 15:27:12 +0000 Anonymous 2151359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While I agree color is energizing, I've gone the opposite route. &nbsp;My working wardrobe consists of black, grey, and navy. &nbsp;No brilliant reds. &nbsp;No fabulous fuchsias. &nbsp;As much as I adore those color families, I am not feeling them this year.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151330 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 13:40:44 +0000 lyn67 2151330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would say it's&nbsp; a feast to my eyes, the print mix&nbsp; and bold colors are&nbsp; very exotic so refilling just to look at, wow, and glad you are staying safety there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151318 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 13:04:33 +0000 Lynne 2151318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

Whilst we don't have a 0% rate of local infections, it's still fairly low, so I've also been getting out &amp; about more too. Love the colour mixing - just the burst of energy we need right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151302 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 09:26:00 +0000 Jessikams 2151302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, how your responses all make me smile and feel so connected to ALL of you.&nbsp; Having fun with style is certainly one way to get through all this difficulty that is impacting each of us in different ways.&nbsp; Colors, neutrals, you do you!&nbsp; I think we may see a new permissiveness about colors and styles, as Angie has long been predicting.&nbsp; I know that I have little patience with "rules" anymore and feel free to combine whatever I have lying around, in whatever way suits my fancy.&nbsp; I look forward to seeing what all of you continue to come up with!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151290 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 05:36:37 +0000 Anonymous 2151290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This coat might look great worn over your boiler suits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151285 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 05:21:34 +0000 Anonymous 2151285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning outfit. I thought I would feel best in somber neutrals but need to add pattern, color, texture and bling for the energy. Today I started with a denim dress over black straight leg Ponte pants and a black tank. I have ended up adding mulicolor glass beads, a striped scarf in blues, black, and white and over everything, another big square scarf of paisley in blue, red, mustard . Lack and tan. Bags are denim and black, tan and orange with a glass fish ornament and red orange.<br /> After watching mass on utube today, another came on with how to look chic. It said that wearing colors next to each other on the color wheel ( like pink and orange or blue and green look more chic and unexpected than wearing colors across from each other on the color wheel like blue and orange or green and red. I don’t know that this is true but interesting.<br /> You are so lucky to be able to be out and about. Many of us have forgotten what that is like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151277 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 04:27:50 +0000 Jaime 2151277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spectacular!

Thank you for the brave inspiration!&nbsp;</p> <p>And <b>SO</b> glad you are able to be out and about! I didn't realize you are in Taiwan -- thought you were still in Beijing. But wow, what a relief to be in a place that is handling things better than not. Canada is better than the US but we are on a new round of infections so things are slowing down rather than picking up.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151257 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 02:16:56 +0000 Carla 2151257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are doing post doc work at the U of YLF! &nbsp;This is such a joyful outfit!<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; <br />I’ve been acquiring subtler colours, but consuming everything I can find on colour clashing and bold colour combinations. &nbsp;I’m interested in wearing all colour combinations instead of colour-with-a-neutral, IYKWIM. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151252 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 01:51:23 +0000 Gigi 2151252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look fantastic! Great pattern mixing and color combos.</p> <p>I too turn to color to cheer myself up. I don't gravitate a lot toward bright prints, but I do like myself some bright solids.

Like you I bought the same shirt because I was worried that JCrew may go under and really love the feel of the silk and you cant go wrong with tigers. I like how your coat balances the shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151136 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 09:41:13 +0000 Minaminu 2151136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit, the coat is stunning!

Marvellous!</p> <p>I absolutely have to have colour and pattern to keep myself awake, period. At the very least, texture. Probably the worst combo for me is a plain, flat knit navy combined with a light grey. I’ll absolutely be convinced I’m sick and go have a lie down... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151123 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 06:04:38 +0000 Jessikams 2151123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale your tight palette is so “you”!

The coat was worth the splurge.</p> <p>There's not much color in my wardrobe in general, but I've been turning to more interesting combinations the past few weeks to try to get back to my old level of excitement about clothes. I've been wearing more printed silk shirts now that the weather is a bit chilly.</p> <p>I hear you on the J Crew situation - gosh it would be sad if they shut down for good. I remember the days when a J Crew discount code was a once-a-year thing, and now they've gone the way of the Gap, with everything marked down by random, fluctuating amounts all the time. Ah well. I hope my favorites pull through all this. J Crew is a little more refined than my usual style, and doesn't always fit me wonderfully, but they've been a fixture since high school (back in uber-preppy Connecticut). And I think my high fashion 'awakening' started when J Crew did these amazing mixes of punk/grunge and classic (maybe 2009?) and became a fashion world darling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151120 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 05:52:19 +0000 slim cat 2151120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fabulous on you - really fashion forward print mixing!<br />Sorry about allergy attack and other health problems - but nobody would guess that you feel any less than gorgeous in this outfit !</p> <p>I do both - safer feel in my simpler clothes ( cloudy day/blue mood/off work day ) and wear my dressier things to help feel better ( if not now- then when? ).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wearing-color-to-combat-low-energy#post-2151119 Sun, 01 Nov 2020 05:49:16 +0000 Jenni NZ 2151119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s gorgeous.
