And bravo team orange. Love the orange and mint together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0604-fishing-for-brights#post-1272952 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 20:47:50 +0000 Aida 1272952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow thank you&nbsp;ladies, I really appreciate all the wonderful comments. While I may not wear this type of outfit often any more, I still love it. It's one of the first silhouettes that got me into the current soft-dressing leg of my style journey so I think it will always hold a special place in my heart.</p> <p>Janet, if my summers got as hot as yours I would ditch mine too! But with the milder (and often windy) weather we have they make a lot of sense. I do rather like the look with sleeveless tops, maybe that'll be the way I start wearing mine more.</p> <p>Shevia, you know, part of why I'd stopped wearing my scarves was that I was unhappy with how non-dramatic they looked. I realized that I needed bigger scarves to get the drama I wanted, and everything I've bought in recent years is LARGE though I've had a hard time convincing myself to purge the smaller ones because I still love a lot of their colors/patterns. I don't&nbsp;know too many ties, but architectural ones are definitely my favorites! This muffler tie is done using the technique in <a href="http://www.scarves.net/how-to-tie-a-scarf/muffler-ii.htm" rel="nofollow">this tutorial</a> (she's better at explaining than I am); I just made the folds less even so that they layered in tiers instead of in a stack, if that makes any sense. I hope to see your cobalt shoes soon :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0604-fishing-for-brights#post-1272523 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 02:05:45 +0000 Jaime 1272523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Spooky! I pulled out a pair of shoes from the back of my closet in this exact color (as far as I can tell on my screen) for purge consideration but decided to put them back. I may have to wear them today! I am fascinated with how you made the scarf look non-scarfy and more architectural if that makes any sense.&nbsp;You look gorgeous as ever Aida! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0604-fishing-for-brights#post-1272485 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 00:37:19 +0000 Day Vies 1272485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the scarf in aqua against the orange and how the cobalt is a beautiful counterpoint to both the scarf and the sweater. The trousers are a perfect neutral backdrop. Marking as a favorite -- this is perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0604-fishing-for-brights#post-1272262 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 18:03:41 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1272262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soooooo beautiful, bright and cheery with great visual interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0604-fishing-for-brights#post-1272205 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 15:50:15 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1272205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This takes my breath away - you look gorgeous! &nbsp; Your outfit is far better than the original pin that inspired it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0604-fishing-for-brights#post-1272188 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 15:00:07 +0000 Janet 1272188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that scarf! Sadly, I pretty much abandon my scarf collection in the summer. What a fun outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0604-fishing-for-brights#post-1272183 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 14:53:09 +0000 Angie 1272183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my word.

I love the slouch in those pants, and the fishy scarf ties it all together so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0604-fishing-for-brights#post-1271864 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 02:05:25 +0000 celia 1271864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still remember when those pants were the first ones of the slouchy vibe, and they still look amazing on you.<br />Love the color combination of this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0604-fishing-for-brights#post-1271862 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 02:01:13 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1271862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looove goldfish (now I miss my Sequin, who was the inspiration for my website and business cards.) And, coincidentally I just finished imitating my daughter's mint and coral pedicure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0604-fishing-for-brights#post-1271826 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 01:26:22 +0000 Suz 1271826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning. Breathtaking, really.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hear you on scarves, but this one is so pretty I just had to add it to my own "finds."&nbsp;</p> <p>I really prefer not to wear them -- but sometimes they just add something so wonderful. Like warmth, on a chilly day. I brought a few to my retreat and it turned out that I needed one every day I wasn't wearing a turtleneck.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0604-fishing-for-brights#post-1271805 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 01:14:12 +0000 Aida 1271805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I felt like it had been a while since I pulled out my brights, although with all the white I wear one could argue that I never stopped. Either way, this outfit popped into mind perusing my Pinterest inspiration board and coming across <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/428123508297292453" rel="nofollow">this pin</a> while looking for something else entirely. When I pinned it last year I'd noted that I was inspired by the color palette (mint + coral/orange + mid-blue + white), and I'm finding it just as delightful this year. Swapped the white for a blushy-tan, which makes the look a bit less graphic, but I rather like the softness it adds to the brights.</p> <p>This outfit is full of things I haven't worn in a while. First the shoes: I'm definitely happier in light and almost-nude footwear these days, but these cobalt pumps are soooo comfy that they will remain in my wardrobe until they fall apart. Second the pants: probably haven't been worn since last summer, and I'm happy we've finally got the weather to start pulling them out again. And third the scarf: while this particular scarf is new, I have been off my scarves for a couple of years but do still enjoying wearing them from time to time; as a result, I've been making sure I don't purchase more than one or two a season (if at all). This particular scarf completely catches my heart as I have a soft spot for fishies, the print is beautifully soft, it's full of colors I love (mint, aqua, orange), and it's both super gauzy and huge in size. Pretty perfect for me.</p> <p>Accented those three things with my brightest sweater in one of my favorite colors (go Team Orange), mixed metals (copper studs, rose-gold watch, gold sequin clutch), and soft pink lipstick. This is slouchy/soft/oversized to the max, with only the pumps and little bits of exposed skin providing the little bit of structure in the look. A little more old-school-Aida perhaps, but still a beloved silhouette.</p> <p>Available items collected below. Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome.</p>
