Mainelady, it's a pinky-blush, so definitely adds some colour!</p> <p>Aside, I just showed DH my purchases ... He saw the sweater and (jokingly) said, "Oh, I've never seen you in a striped top before" and rolled his eyes lmao!!! I laughed so hard ... He did approve of my picks though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-spring-neutrals-and-wardrobe-plotting#post-2018256 Sat, 06 Apr 2019 12:49:01 +0000 Mainelady 2018256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful choices with lots of options for neutral wardrobe plotting! I want to adopt the term “wardrobe plotting”. It lends itself to more creativity than outfit planning. I think neutral prints ar great for adding interest and detail and usually mix well with other neutral prints/ patterns. The blush and burgundy accents ......love! Is your blush bag more of a pink blush or a tan blush? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-spring-neutrals-and-wardrobe-plotting#post-2018099 Fri, 05 Apr 2019 15:59:02 +0000 nemosmom 2018099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I DO have Aldo! And these look promising. Thank you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-spring-neutrals-and-wardrobe-plotting#post-2017994 Fri, 05 Apr 2019 05:23:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2017994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Given your comfort with neutrals, I think neutral prints are a terrific way to add interest and dimension to outfits. Your choices look so cohesive and nicely curated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-spring-neutrals-and-wardrobe-plotting#post-2017986 Fri, 05 Apr 2019 04:06:01 +0000 Glory 2017986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of your purchases here. You can mix them into your wardrobe now and bridge the seasons. Love the shoes and am going to try them tomorrow. I had my eye on the naturalized ones in cognac sonwill have to compare. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-spring-neutrals-and-wardrobe-plotting#post-2017966 Fri, 05 Apr 2019 01:11:03 +0000 Jaime 2017966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the idea of experimenting with silhouette while staying in your comfort zone with color makes a lot of sense. I think I tend to do the same without thinking about it. Looking forward to seeing your new finds all styled up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-spring-neutrals-and-wardrobe-plotting#post-2017953 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 22:00:24 +0000 Nomad 2017953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely pieces, and I like the idea of "neutrally-colorful"... your palette may be neutral, but it's anything but boring. It looks sophisticated and chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-spring-neutrals-and-wardrobe-plotting#post-2017949 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 21:43:45 +0000 fifthandfinest 2017949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pieces and very well thought out.&nbsp;<br />I rarely wear navy/ink but just yesterday bought these midnight navy Air Max 1s and cant wait for them to arrive:<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/nike-womens-air-max-1-sneakers?ID=3078699&amp;pla_country=US&amp;cm_mmc=Bing-PLA-_-Women%27s%20Shoes-NA-_-Nike-_-886916035059USA&amp;CAWELAID=120156070008782020&amp;CATARGETID=120156070008830990&amp;CADevice=c&amp;msclkid=49a85cacdcb318bbec22000aa6f5b956">https://www.bloomingdales.com/.....0aa6f5b956</a><br />oops, big link, sorry.

I like how you have a dot, a stripe, and a texture (blue shirt). Combined, that's a lot of interest!<br />I adore wearing blue, so thumbs up from me!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-spring-neutrals-and-wardrobe-plotting#post-2017929 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 17:56:20 +0000 Anonymous 2017929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try the shoes! I totally understand about the short wear window of transitional shoes though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-spring-neutrals-and-wardrobe-plotting#post-2017922 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 17:31:33 +0000 Helena 2017922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>nemosmom, do you have Aldo? I'm considering these - the price is very reasonable and the reviews say they are comfy - I have a short ballet flat window in my climate, so these might do the job for me as I won't be too hard on them:&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.aldoshoes.com/ca/en/women/footwear/flats/ballerinas/Blanchette-Medium%20Brown/p/51108548-26">https://www.aldoshoes.com/ca/e.....1108548-26</a></p> <p>Thanks CG and Bijou! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-spring-neutrals-and-wardrobe-plotting#post-2017921 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 17:28:55 +0000 nemosmom 2017921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely, carefully curated haul!

I am so pleased that you got a blush satchel, as that will be so pretty on you and add a bit of colour to your very stylish neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-spring-neutrals-and-wardrobe-plotting#post-2017841 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 13:38:15 +0000 Cardiff girl 2017841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look great purchases,lm sure that you will get a lot of wear from them so whose counting if you went one over!l particularly like both the shirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wib-spring-neutrals-and-wardrobe-plotting#post-2017836 Thu, 04 Apr 2019 13:14:11 +0000 Helena 2017836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love to ponder and plot wardrobe strategies! Inspired by Angie's <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2019/04/03/weekly-roundup-neutral-spring/">spring neutrals round-up</a>&nbsp;, I've been thinking about neutrals, and these will be my focus this spring.&nbsp;</p> <p>Although I do LOVE an occasional bold colour, I am a neutrals girl. I am far more creative (relatively!) with neutrals - more likely to try a new silhouette, layer, accessorize, or pattern-mix, for example (with colour, I tend to minimize the rest or I am uncomfortable).</p> <p>In the past I've limited my neutrals, but I'm re-thinking this and will play with a wider range of neutrals (Angie <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2015/12/18/ensemble-many-neutrals/">posted</a> about this a few years ago) - black, ink/navy, gray (in small doses), cool beige/taupe if I can find it, white, olive, chambray/denim blue, and cognac. Blush and burgundy are main accents, and I'll add my colour pops when the spirit moves me :)</p> <p>My 2019 purchases (of which I've made 3 more than planned, oops!) support this, I've just purchased three neutrals tops from BR (shown in my collection) - two blouses (one a print) and a linen sweater (also a print - I've got neutral prints on the brain for adding interest and contrast).&nbsp; I'm keeping an eye out for a beige topper (cardi or casual blazer) and cognac comfy flats.&nbsp;</p> <p>That's my musings for today ha - time for another cup of tea! Thanks for reading if you got through it :)</p> <p>Note: per items below - my satchel is blush, and my Zara moto pants are olive. The BR print blouse is ink. So, a bit more 'neutrally-colourful' than it looks below </p>
