I agree with Shevia, that you wore knit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-101-layers-of-eggplant#post-2229059 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 16:36:29 +0000 Eliza 2229059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look! Can tell it is a favorite color and you built a wonderful capsule around it. Love the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-101-layers-of-eggplant#post-2229056 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 16:21:34 +0000 nuancedream 2229056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That VB blazer is TDF! Such sophisticated and gorgeous looks in elegant eggplant, Tanya. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-101-layers-of-eggplant#post-2229016 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 14:40:28 +0000 Tanya 2229016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Shevia and Nikki.</p> <p>The reveal:&nbsp; I wore the matching leather shell, for a 2-piece jumpsuit effect, but enjoyed the other combo, too, so will file it away for the future.&nbsp; &nbsp; I have tried post-processed the photos, and attaching the two with the blazer here again, there is a bit of improvement.&nbsp; &nbsp;Also adding the photo with the flat loafers as actually worn, purely for the shapes (it is unfortunately super dark), as I thought the higher vamp worked better with the cropped pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-101-layers-of-eggplant#post-2228926 Sun, 03 Oct 2021 03:06:09 +0000 Anonymous 2228926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely eggplant layers!

Both look brilliant though. Love all your purple items! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-101-layers-of-eggplant#post-2228859 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 18:41:03 +0000 Tanya 2228859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the kind words!&nbsp; I have really enjoyed wearing this particular outfit.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I will see if I can post-process the photos and lighten them up a little.&nbsp; &nbsp;Runcarla, I will look into the phone settings as well.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-101-layers-of-eggplant#post-2228829 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 14:36:49 +0000 Angie 2228829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely KILLER.</p> <p>LOVE!

Perfection! Love everything about this outfit. Both versions are superb. I like the matching top and pants especially because it is such a fab interpretation of a trend, but in fact both are equally wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-101-layers-of-eggplant#post-2228784 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 07:57:30 +0000 Star (Lise) 2228784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What superb items.&nbsp; I love the pleather pieces and the color.&nbsp; This is such a put together look, with a touch of drama.&nbsp; Your shoes (both pairs) are divine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-101-layers-of-eggplant#post-2228780 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 06:01:14 +0000 slim cat 2228780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great pieces! I'm guessing that knit top with some sparkle was the final choice - fun texture and perfect for fall weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-101-layers-of-eggplant#post-2228776 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 03:16:45 +0000 ClaraT 2228776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color (and that jacket is amazing)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-101-layers-of-eggplant#post-2228773 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 02:57:05 +0000 Carla 2228773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very handsome colour combination - ❤️<div><br /></div><div>(Sometimes fiddling with the filters on your camera/phone can lighten the image and give you better colour.)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-101-layers-of-eggplant#post-2228772 Sat, 02 Oct 2021 02:28:48 +0000 Tanya 2228772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is the outfit I wore earlier this evening for a nice long walk, to go and get bubble tea as a reward after wrapping up a long WFH week.&nbsp; It was an interpretation of the 2nd formula from today's blog post.</p> <p>The outfit was built around pleather piece(s) I scored from AT on deep sale at the end of the winter season: a matching set of slim wide crops and shell in a color AT called "fig".&nbsp; &nbsp;It took me some comparing with other recognizable colors (purple, burgundy, brown) in bright sunlight to figure out that this color "fig" is basically a pretty dark eggplant (see photo #5).&nbsp; I added an eggplant plaid VB Miller blazer as a top layer.&nbsp; I was debating if I should wear the outfit with the pleather shell (#1/2) or switch it for sparkly ribbed knit, also in eggplant (#3/4).&nbsp; &nbsp;I tried both versions.&nbsp; I am curious which one you prefer and which one you think I ended up wearing.</p> <p>Shoes were a bit of an issue, since I wanted a tonal outfit.&nbsp; My dark purple booties did not go well with the rest of outfit as their undertone was much blue-er.&nbsp; Dark brown ones went much better but the shaft was not high enough to close the gap with the cropped pants.&nbsp; Thus I settled on the purple suede block heel loafer pumps, with which I took the photos.&nbsp; &nbsp;However, I confess that right before I left I switched the shoes for dark burgundy flat loafers, as the pumps felt a bit off shape-wise.&nbsp; &nbsp;I snapped a photo with loafers when I got back home, but it was super dark so the photo is as well, the only thing you can see well is shapes.&nbsp; I will add it later, as not to spoil the guessing of the underlayer.&nbsp; &nbsp;The burgundy was dark enough that the difference from eggplant was pretty small and I liked the higher vamp better with the cropped pants.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>My apologies for darkness of the photos, I need to remember to take them earlier in the day.&nbsp; The colors are represented pretty accurately in the Finds. </p>
