My first thought was a peacoat, then a leather jacket as toppers. A magenta peacoat or maybe a grey leather jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351702 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 01:35:21 +0000 Anonymous 1351702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Shiny</b>- I can't show pics of my scarf collection, because the authorities would soon be knocking on my door .</p> <p>It just is something I really like - with short hair it serves myriad functions &nbsp;(warmth, coziness, filing in where long hair doesn't )&nbsp;. &nbsp;And &nbsp;I am a lover of fabric, textile design, pattern etc - and some of the best designers produce simply outstanding scarves. I love that stuff, plain and simple - they are pieces of art to me. &nbsp;Now, most of mine come from Club Monaco though - big huge silk squares or wool blend&nbsp;&nbsp;oblongs and a few from BCBG &nbsp;and are hardly precious, so.....</p> <p>Lastly, my mother always said a coat needs to be worn with a scarf inside the neck - protecting the coat from makeup, lint, hair etc, and adding that finishing touch. To this day, a &nbsp;coat against my neck with no scarf in-between feels totally odd. &nbsp;My special ones are from Etro , Burberry&nbsp;and Alexander McQueen - and I will never part with them. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351680 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 01:10:49 +0000 shiny 1351680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please tell us more about your scarf collection, and how it came to be, what brands, what is your shopping strategy, and can you share a pic?&nbsp;</p> <p>I only started appreciating the power of a scarf in recent years... to date I have not been able to bite the bullet and invest in investment type scarves, because I was still figuring out my preferences (color, pattern, size, shape&nbsp;etc). But I can totally see the value in it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351674 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 01:00:48 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1351674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit. It's so simple in a way, yet the details give it a lot of interest: the beautiful, intricate paisley in the scarf, the cool studs on the purse, the texture of the sweater, and those metallic sneakers with their trim! <br />I like the idea of a light neutral leather jacket for you, too. If it's too hard to keep clean, you might look for a faux one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351671 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 00:55:23 +0000 Anonymous 1351671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suz -&nbsp;</b>same here.

I am in the market for the same. J. Crew did one in a bright pink (maybe raspberry) last year and it can be had on ebay. But I'm not 100% sure of my size and fear ordering from there for that reason.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351652 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 00:37:56 +0000 Anonymous 1351652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>retailgirl -&nbsp;</b>you bet, but you know, if you only have a few special pieces, it makes them all the more special - I wouldn't want to be so used to it that I no longer appreciated owning a designer or higher-end piece! &nbsp; I get a thrill of pleasure wearing them - and just know I can rely on them to add a special something to the outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351649 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 00:35:34 +0000 Anonymous 1351649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida - my question was kind of rhetorical &nbsp;Of course there is a huge difference between real gear and fashion leather ! &nbsp;I think this stone leather will be my answer to trying to look a little more feminine while staying true to my aesthetic sensibilities. You have biker gear? &nbsp;Cool! &nbsp;I bow down to you :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351620 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 00:13:19 +0000 retailgirl 1351620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that etro scarf.

If they made actual riding gear in pretty colors like stone or light gray, I'd toss my actual black biker gear in a heartbeat for it. But alas, it all only comes in black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351555 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 23:09:16 +0000 Anonymous 1351555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Vivian</b> - I want a pea coat from JCrew - waiting until there is something in that kind of colour, which I'm not seeing yet. &nbsp;But again, a wool coat would be for winter months for me.</p> <p>Danier sizing is a tad generous I find, but not ridiculously so. I wear an XS or S, depending on the cut. &nbsp;To be able to wear one fully zipped and over a sweater, I would wear an S. &nbsp;Mediums are always too big across the shoulders on me. &nbsp;And if I could find a navy leather jacket, I would be in heaven. &nbsp;I don't think I have ever seen one. Ever.</p> <p><b>Aida</b> - you're right, whatever I get needs to be roomy enough to fit over a sweater. It won't be this one - it's getting retired to the cedar closet for the winter after today- but it would have to fit over a cashmere tshirt &nbsp;or a plaid shirt. &nbsp; &nbsp;Getting pumped to go try on this Danier jacket. &nbsp;I am trying to stop dressing like a biker on my days off though...and here I would be doing it again. I drift too easily into that look and at some point in life, it needs to stop. &nbsp;</p> <p>Is the stone colour the feminine alternative to black here?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351524 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 22:42:46 +0000 Aida 1351524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice look! That's a lovely scarf, and plays surprisingly well with the olive. I was also going to suggest a moto. You'll want a boxier shaped one to wear over this sweater though, something fitted won't work right. A very boxy and cropped blazer or a utility jacket/anorak would work, too. Basically any topper over a looser sweater like this is going to need to be roomy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351520 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 22:38:11 +0000 viva 1351520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am seriously considering that stone biker, although I need to see if the JCrew car coat works. How long will that sale last? And what is Danier sizing like?</p> <p>BTW, my pea coat is a gorgeous deep blue-pink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351517 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 22:36:58 +0000 Anonymous 1351517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second a leather or pea coat.

I guess I wasn't going right for the leathers because I have so many of them (I know that sounds obnoxious but they have been a mainstay in my wardrobe for 30years) ...but I have never owned one in that colour. And maybe that's exactly what I need. Come to think of it, how cool would that look over my new slouchy pants and sweater? &nbsp;Hmm, thanks again ladies. &nbsp;You're bang on! &nbsp;And they are on sale to boot!!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>lisa/ummlila -&nbsp;</b>I just bought a mixed media coat in army green (of course) with black leather sleeves, or I'd look at one in another colour - lol; perfect idea though...&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm eyeing a pea coat for winter (the milder parts of it anyways) and hope to find a raspberry colour. &nbsp;Or crazy magenta pink.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351505 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 22:24:10 +0000 viva 1351505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been waiting for you to trot out your scarves!

It looks great with this fab outfit, and I imagine it working with many other pieces in your wardrobe too.&nbsp;And you are preaching to the choir here, girl, I just cannot resist a good scarf;-)</p> <p>I like Ummlila and Suz's suggestions for a topper. A great peacoat might be fun too. I like ink blue with army green, but you could also go for a bright colour like red, raspberry&nbsp;or royal purple (if that's your cup of tea, of course). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351357 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 19:01:37 +0000 Suz 1351357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit! That scarf is beautiful -- so rich. I love the interesting mix of colours and the textural play with the lacy sweater and tougher cargoes. That is also one amazing bag!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love Ummlila's mixed media suggestion. Otherwise, how about a leather jacket? Do you have one (or several)? Not sure about the colour for this particular outfit -- the ones I picked might be wrong. Navy would be great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351352 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 18:52:08 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1351352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This combination would be very typical for me during the cold months. I love scarves and that Etro one is gorgeous.</p> <p>I am not sure what your work look needs to be. If it is not super formal, I would suggest a mixed media type of coat ... something with interesting fabrics and maybe leather sleeves or pockets or trims. I think black and grey mix would work well with army green. So would cream. Tons of interesting stuff comes up if you search "mixed media coat" on Polyvore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-99-scarf-season#post-1351341 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 18:40:33 +0000 Anonymous 1351341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read somewhere that a woman should always own at least one true designer bag in her life. &nbsp;So when I turned 40, I decided that would be the case and bought myself one.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then the flood gates were flung open, and I thought the same should hold true about scarves.
