I love the light colored boots with it. The semi-tough jacket is great over it. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mostly-neutral-saturday#post-1388133 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 21:25:46 +0000 marianna 1388133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great outfit!

I like strong contrast of the (fab, of course)&nbsp;outfit and the hat with your eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mostly-neutral-saturday#post-1387961 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 17:17:50 +0000 Angie 1387961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH.

Just a couple of larger, fluffy pills, if you know what I mean. Enough to just pick off in a few seconds, and not so much that I feel like I need to take the sweater stone or the shaver to it. </p> <p>I attached a photo of the shoulder detail. It's a very lightweight sweater, and I wore a nude cami underneath. It's a viscose blend with a bit of angora in it, which usually makes me itch, but it must be such a small amount that it doesn't bother me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mostly-neutral-saturday#post-1387875 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:56:04 +0000 Anonymous 1387875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks so yummy and soft Janet. I love the white sweater, such a shame about the pilling I love the way your hat slouches to one side and looks so lovely and cosy. Fab scarf&nbsp;colours too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mostly-neutral-saturday#post-1387861 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:37:21 +0000 Angie 1387861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GREAT casual outfit, Janet. It's fab to see tall boots again actually. (I wore mine yesterday with you, so high five). FRESH tucked into relaxed skinnies.&nbsp;</p> <p>That white pullover looks killer on you. I can't see the cables but will take your word for it. It's an amazing Essential.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mostly-neutral-saturday#post-1387856 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:29:31 +0000 jackiec 1387856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I don't like having piling either! Bummer! But the sweater looks amazing on you. I like the quieter colour palette. But wow it actually gets punchier with the cobalt beanie - which plays so well with the olive jacket. Janet you're looking SO good these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mostly-neutral-saturday#post-1387845 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:07:32 +0000 Janet 1387845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just worn for an afternoon in the studio with visitors. Debuted this Trouve white sweater, which I got back in the spring at Nordstom in my search for just the right white sweater -- something good for layering but with a little visual interest. You can't see it in the photo, but there is some nice subtle cabling detail at the top, and zippers on the shoulders. Well, even though it's soft and it looks OK, I'm a bit disappointed, because by the end of one day of wear, it's already showing some pilling. I HATE that. </p> <p>I was in the mood for a quiet color palette today, but I liked the touch of pink along with the blue/white/taupe/olive tones in this scarf. I don't wear it often, but I like it when I do -- it's the perfect combination of a little bit of volume and a very soft cottony fabric that doesn't slide around much. </p> <p>Added the hat and jacket for outerwear, but ended up wearing the hat all day since I was not having a particularly good hair day. I kind of liked the play of the olive-y jacket with the taupe boots with the denim and blue. </p> <p>Sweater: Trouve (Nordstrom)<br /> Jeans: Paige 3 years ago and still going strong<br /> Boots: Frye<br /> Scarf: Rachel Roy IIRC, from about 4 years ago (Rack)<br /> Jacket: Belstaff (Last Call)<br /> Beret: Portolano (Nordstrom)<br /> Pearl/silver ring: Silpada about 5 years ago </p>
