I really like it with the burgundy sweater.<br /> I often feel like removing my scarf and going “plain” too.<br /> At first I was skeptical of Hunter Wellies because who needs rainboots that large and tall?! But they look so CUTE a waxed canvas coat. And they’re actually practical in winter, go figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882548 Thu, 25 Jan 2018 07:09:03 +0000 Katerina 1882548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of the outfits are superb! You look great. No 4 is especially fabulous. I love your Casual Kate, it seems to be very you and suits you wonderfully.<br /> Your jeans, BTW, are perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882376 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 21:27:32 +0000 karen13 1882376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Casual Kate is perfect! I really like the navy/white scarf with the burgundy and it would be great with the grey. My wardrobe is full of darker tones like burgundy and navy, and I am finding just a touch of a light color somewhere is appealing to my eye. And the navy picks up the jeans so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882261 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 16:48:13 +0000 Sara L. 1882261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!&nbsp; I like both the scarves in your first outfit but the blue one a bit better.&nbsp; The scarf and vest combo is a good one for you and sounds perfect for the weather as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882257 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 16:39:24 +0000 Suz 1882257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Casual Kate is perfect for you.

Jussie, thanks for the suggestions; actually I could have tried that plaid scarf with the burgundy; I seem to like it with everything. Sarah, good eye to catch the brush-stroke pattern; it's called "the painterly scarf" which I never understood until your comment lol! Thanks again all for the positivity and insights; much appreciated </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882181 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 13:03:16 +0000 RobinF 1882181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these outfits!

I think Classic Casual Kate might be perfect for me too - please can I borrow it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882147 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 09:54:11 +0000 jussie 1882147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfits really suit you. Yes they are uncluttered but that look is quite classy and refined. Also everything fits you so well! I like the lace up grey boots. I also like the contrast between the burgundy sweater with the blue scarf, but I understand that your eye may prefer a really sleek streamlined look, and that’s working for you. Maybe you could try various colored combinations of sweaters with different plaid scarves? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882136 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 06:45:45 +0000 Cee 1882136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful !!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882132 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 05:59:29 +0000 SarahD8 1882132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They say simple isn’t easy...but you make it look effortless.<br /> These are all great outfits. I think what really makes them is the perfect proportions. I’m in awe.<br /> I also have to give a shout out to that blue scarf in pic 3. The brushstroke print somehow echoes the texture of your hair in a very pleasing way, and I love the complementary pairing of the blue and rusty orange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882126 Wed, 24 Jan 2018 05:42:21 +0000 Sal 1882126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also see Casual Kate and I agree with Shevia</p> <p><i>"Sophisticated and deceptively simple looking, you look terrific!

The weather is always the challenge, isn't it? <br />LaPed, the scarf is a very pale pink, a little cooler than blush I would say, but close to a blush.<br />Thanks you JAileen!<br />Angie, well, I guess that's the best compliment; thank you I've been faithful on styling my hair down; it's so much quicker now, so I have no excuses ;)<br />Pat, thank you!</p> <p>On reflection, I think the scarf would have been a better addition to the ultra-plain gray, as the burgundy at least lends color-flattery (imo!) to the outfit. Note to self - experiment with incorporating either pattern or color, rather than uber-plain AND neutral in the same outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882026 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 23:40:39 +0000 Pat_P 1882026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your simple outfits. (#4 and #5.) They are "plain" in the very best way. And you look very happy and comfortable in them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882015 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 23:08:14 +0000 Angie 1882015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fabulous Classic Casual Kate. Good job not tying the hair back.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882007 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 22:54:56 +0000 JAileen 1882007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 2/3. I love the scarf. You look effortless in all of these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882005 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 22:52:29 +0000 LaPed 1882005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the scarf in #1 blush or cream? Either way, yes, nice contrast with the burgundy. LOVE the vest + plaid combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1882001 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 22:39:10 +0000 Mainelady 1882001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of your outfits. Of the two scarves, I like the blue in #2. My favorite outfit is #4. You look casual, elegant and ready to take on the day, despite the weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---simple-and-casual#post-1881976 Tue, 23 Jan 2018 21:40:15 +0000 Helena 1881976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are a few recent WIWs ... I am trying to just wear what makes me happy develop the guidelines later (although I am working with casual Kate as my style moniker as of today!) I really liked 4 (vest and plaid scarf), the gray crew neck and jeans (5) looks plain in the photo, but it also felt pretty good on (I wore black Hunter wellies with it due to weather). The burgundy sweater I really love, but I was craving a bit of contrast and could quite get it happening in a way I was happy with with the scarves, so I dumped them and and happier without it, again despite the plain-ness! Wellies again due to weather; my striped socks are more interesting! Feedback always welcome; thanks for looking </p>
