Maybe some colourful earrings though, if you're not sure? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store/page/2#post-2117847 Fri, 01 May 2020 14:52:47 +0000 Nitsirk 2117847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit, TG and the colours including the patterned scarf really seem to work well for you.&nbsp; I too have a teenage boy at home (aged 14) and a daughter (11) - the teen eats like mad and consumes milk like it's going out of style.&nbsp; We cannot keep up.&nbsp; So, I hear you on the stress of striving for a full week's worth of groceries in one fell swoop.&nbsp; Impossible!&nbsp; Somehow need to teach him to pace himself....but not a likely outcome for us.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; Happy Friday!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store/page/2#post-2117823 Fri, 01 May 2020 13:04:30 +0000 Helena 2117823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou, or worse - he'll stay picky AND turn into PacMan, like mine, bless him It's pounds and pounds of crackers and plain pasta for him lol! How old is DS? Mine's just turned 14. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store/page/2#post-2117818 Fri, 01 May 2020 12:56:01 +0000 Bijou 2117818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TG you look so pretty! This is perfect just as it is, lipstick and all.</p> <p>DH has warned me that our picky eating DS will turn into PacMan once the teen hormones kick in.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store/page/2#post-2117817 Fri, 01 May 2020 12:45:44 +0000 Lucy 2117817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely gorgeous! Perfect as it is. The scarf is totally fab.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm with you on teenage boys. Due to the COVID-19 shortages, we were recently only allowed to buy 2 x 2 litres of a milk in a trip. My 14 year old goes through 2L a day, so it is hardly conducive to cutting down on shopping trips! I must say I don't often take him shopping with me, but he always unpacks the car at this end, which is good enough for me. Bonus that you got lunch! Sounds yum.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store/page/2#post-2117810 Fri, 01 May 2020 11:50:45 +0000 Helena 2117810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy I love your neighbour! I would totally do that. Why not have faith in your child that they are capable of helping??? </p> <p>I have to do a mom-brag though (sorry, annoying I know) ... Teen boy cooked me lunch so I could have a break after the big shop! Toasted spinach and egg English muffin. He's a good kid and will never starve ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117655 Thu, 30 Apr 2020 18:19:29 +0000 rachylou 2117655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! Maybe a little more blush if you feel washed out.</p> <p>Also: Teen boy needs to come to carry all his food. Lol, I had this great neighbour who put a backpack on her two year old and had him carry a couple of diapers. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117601 Thu, 30 Apr 2020 15:07:23 +0000 Marilyn 2117601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Helena....Yes, I find that mid tones are best on me.&nbsp; Nothing too light or too bright.&nbsp; The light colours wash me out and brights are harsh.&nbsp; In terms of gray, charcoal is the best on me.&nbsp; I'll have to check out the Jen Thoden system.<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117599 Thu, 30 Apr 2020 14:46:31 +0000 Helena 2117599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think that makes a lot of sense Marilyn! My only issue with soft summer for me is that gray is not my best, and some of the really light and muted colours are quite blah - but I'm realizing this may be matter of contrast more than colour. Sal recently mentioned Jen Thoden's system which doesn't have seasons, but it just breaks down the characteristics ... in hers I am a cool/soft/deep, which seems to make a lot of sense too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117595 Thu, 30 Apr 2020 14:12:45 +0000 Marilyn 2117595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks, Helena.&nbsp; Yes, I am 100% considering a pair of the Ecco 7's in white.&nbsp; I trust Angie's rave reviews. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>I did have my colours done way back in the early 80's.&nbsp; I was told I was a summer.....they didn't have all the sub-categories back then.&nbsp; I still have the colour swatch packet they gave me and the colours in it still include my best ones.&nbsp; It includes a true blue based red which we know you rock.&nbsp; The Sephora girls say I have a bit of warmth in my skin tone and I think they're right.&nbsp; That probably explains why I sometimes veer off into colours that aren't in my palette.&nbsp; From reading online I've discovered that soft summer can sometimes flow into soft autumn.&nbsp; You might be finding the same thing.&nbsp; <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117592 Thu, 30 Apr 2020 14:00:43 +0000 Roxanna 2117592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dynamite?! Huh. Would never even have thought to look there. What a great find! And nice that you can wear it in the rain :)</p> <p>I have a similar faux suede one from BR - I'll pull it out when I eventually prise myself out of my leggings uniform </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117499 Thu, 30 Apr 2020 03:33:07 +0000 anne 2117499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a lovely outfit - maybe just a little stronger lippie would be better. I do find blush a bit hard to wear myself near the face.</p> <p>Sympathies of the shopping. I have three high school age kids ( though girls) and one thing I've been struggling with is how much milk they drink! Specially when all at home. I think I bought 17-18 litres last week </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117493 Thu, 30 Apr 2020 03:06:13 +0000 Jaime 2117493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! Scarf will mess up lipstick so no need. I like the jeans and sneaker combination on you a lot too. As for hungry teens: yes, and not just the boys. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117452 Thu, 30 Apr 2020 00:05:55 +0000 Helena 2117452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marilyn, that's true ... I struggle to accept it though hahaha ... I'll find one exception and be like, well there you go, that can't be right .... I'm worse than my kids actally. So stubborn *rolls eyes at self*</p> <p>Remind me did you have a colour analysis done? Or did you work it out for yourself ...?</p> <p>They are Nike sneaks actually; I think I put Frye ones on finds because they were the closest match I could find. They are not super comfy tbh ... They're fine for running errands etc but not more comfy than ballet flats would be. What about something like as Angie's eccos? Those seem amazingly comfy ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117446 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 23:32:53 +0000 Marilyn 2117446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just read your reply to Suntiger.&nbsp; I keep telling you you are a soft summer!&nbsp; Your hair and skin tone are pretty much identical to mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117445 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 23:28:38 +0000 Marilyn 2117445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Love this as is, Helena!&nbsp; That said, whenever I feel like I need a little something I bump up my lip colour. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Ya, I miss seeing my son....he's 28 and we're distancing....but he eats us out of house and home when he's here.</div><div><br /></div><div>Are those your Frye runners?&nbsp; I'm looking for white runners and saw them at The Bay today.&nbsp; Wondering if they're comfortable and good for long walks.&nbsp; Are they worth the price?&nbsp; Trying to buy shoes without trying them on kind of sucks.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117443 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 23:26:40 +0000 Helena 2117443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Roxanna </b>- good old Dynamite, and I'd say it's four years old now, but I do think they have something similar each fall. I think it was $40 and I've definitely gotten lots of wear out of it. It doesn't look 'pleather-ish' irl. That store has some gems.</p> <p><b>Suntiger</b>, yes, I always thought I was a winter too, but a few colour analysts have said I am some sort of summer, probably a soft summer. My hair has always had a touch of a reddish cast in the sun, but as I've aged and had to colour it more, that's been exacerbated by dye ... I feel much better though when the red is out; I've tried adding warmth before and it does not look good on me. It's super-faded right now due to the lack of hair styling services *sob*</p> <p>Chocolate for everyone!! xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117440 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 23:16:58 +0000 Roxanna 2117440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where is that jacket from?! Perfect shade of blush for you! I love it with the scarf, but I think your suggestion of a stronger lippie is a good one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117435 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 22:49:20 +0000 Anonymous 2117435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors look great on you, so starting to doubt you're a Winter!

You are always so kind and constructive, and I really, really appreciate it!</p> <p>It's interesting because the relative higher contrast (mind you, it's lessening with every year!) of my hair and skin, and the soft tones of my hair colour and eye colour, seem a little at odds. It seems I do have good success either with medium colours (like the red that I've gotten favourable reviews with), or with slightly softened high contrast. So I'll have to keep this in mind when I choose items to wear! I find it hard to add contrast sometimes since I don't layer a lot in extreme temperatures ... but in spring and fall, it's far easier.</p> <p>Phoebe, that's a great point; I think that ties into above to - it's a bold print but a soft palette - net medium effect. Maybe I'm Even Steven! (who remembers the Seinfeld episode?!?)</p> <p>Nemosmom, we've got rain here too but this jacket is fake leather, so it works in the rain! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117389 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 19:26:15 +0000 CocoLion 2117389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so pretty in that soft shade of blush and you are the chic-est scarf wearer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117387 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 19:19:33 +0000 Anonymous 2117387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty!</p> <p>If you think the outfit is incomplete, maybe you're not completely seeing the contribution your own physicality adds? Your hair, which appears to have some red and your creamy complexion? </p> <p>I would have thought such a strong print so close to your face would distract from your features but just the reverse is true, maybe because of the very few colors? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117376 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 18:41:42 +0000 nemosmom 2117376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing dull about this at all!!&nbsp; And a strong lippie would get all over that lovely scarf!

Am I overdoing it? No. You could try a stronger lip color just for fun, and that might work well too, but for a different take on it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-the-grocery-store#post-2117364 Wed, 29 Apr 2020 18:22:35 +0000 notsaf 2117364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I absolutely love this on you!
