Especially loving those light sweaters on you; the scale of the chunky knits is perfectly balanced. LOVE that jacket, my&nbsp;goodness please wear that lovely more often. I also love seeing glimpses of your beautiful home when you post, it reminds me of happy times ^^ https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-896410 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 19:16:05 +0000 rachylou 896410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As always you look so polished! I do like your idea of bringing in color. Time does seem right, with spring and all in the air.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-896396 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 19:07:08 +0000 Anonymous 896396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ what fab looks! your cream sweaters are gorgeous and your leather jacket in 4,5, 6 and 7 is amazing. you do neutrals really well.

Fab! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-896046 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:33:13 +0000 pil 896046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These are all so nice, Vicki! I like the studs on the pleather jacket and can see it with creams and your Petty python booties.<br /><br />You're craving color. I find myself really appreciating your neutral looks and those of other forum members but still find myself buying color and pattern. Hmmm.<br /><br />Your house is gorgeous! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-896034 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:21:51 +0000 Marigold 896034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look amazing! Especially liking the looks with the moto jacket and the bf jeans. I have the same booties and your outfits&nbsp;give me a couple extra ideas re: styling them!&nbsp;<br />I love your house, too https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-896028 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:18:27 +0000 Jjsloane 896028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You do it all so well. I am totally copying #1 and 5 (once I find the right jacket) and I already have done 11-12 (also a sweater twin although the pilling is making me nuts on this one so it might be a one season item for me)<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-896021 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:09:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 896021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Vicki - you wear casual neutrals so, so well. Every one of these outfits is a winner, although my favourite is probably the outfit in pics #11 and #12.&nbsp;<br /><br />But I hear you on the desire for colour - I'm feeling the same way now that spring is arriving (albeit it slowly!).&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-896010 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:04:19 +0000 annaj 896010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love every single combination! Truly gorgeous!!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-895956 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:16:26 +0000 Anonymous 895956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look great in all of these! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-895921 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 07:25:05 +0000 Lantana 895921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm wondering too why you don't wear the pleather jacket much. What puts you off, because it looks lovely. I love white with cream or ecru and you have found just the right tone here for your colouring. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-895903 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 06:01:24 +0000 rae 895903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look so good in cream/white! Like a sweet vanilla milkshake (in one of those slender milkshake glasses, of course). And why on earth don't you wear that taupe jacket?? So fun with the camo pants! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-895828 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 04:08:42 +0000 celia 895828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You have such a great style. Everything looks perfect here.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-895818 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:56:54 +0000 Suz 895818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Vicki, you look stunning and so sophisticated in these soft neutrals. I love every outfit and cannot pick a favourite. But I do hope you will be wearing that fab pleather jacket more soon! It's gorgeous and fun!&nbsp;<br /><br />But I do admit your blue stripes are equally fab on you, and spring <b>is</b> the time to add colour, so add away!&nbsp;<br /><br />Really looking forward to seeing your travel capsule. The trench sounds like a great idea. Although let's hope the sun shines on you every day.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-895812 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:52:34 +0000 Anonymous 895812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Vicki, I just love these outfits and would love to wear any of them, especially the neutrals.&nbsp; I also enjoy how you wear the Gap chunky knit sweater with a surprise like the beads or a scarf hidden under the high neck to be discovered if you move just so.&nbsp; Such fun!&nbsp; I'm also looking forward to seeing what you pack. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-895808 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:48:59 +0000 Isabel 895808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look utterly amazing !!! &nbsp;I love the peek a boo scarf under the turtleneck. I really love the the blue color on you, btw. It just sings on you !&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-895806 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:46:29 +0000 carolbee 895806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great neutral outfits Vicki. &nbsp;Looking forward to seeing your packing post. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-895802 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:39:00 +0000 Parsley 895802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, I love your neutral outfits, Vicki!<br />I'm having a hard time even picking a favorite.&nbsp;<br />The first one really strikes my fancy, because I love the mixing of different shades of white and cream, but I never would have thought to put those together without the inspiration here. I'm really hoping to copy you.<br />But really every single outfit is great!<br /><br />Your upcoming trip sounds exciting. I can't wait to see you in the light trench- it should be great for a spring trip. (That is, if you're better than I am at staying clean!) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-895800 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:32:48 +0000 Jaime 895800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fabulous and inspirational casual style! Love the fit of the jeans with the Gap sweater, blue looks splendid on you and the leather jacket outfit is outstanding! Trip sounds wonderful too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-few-very-casual-neutrals#post-895798 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 03:28:19 +0000 Vicki 895798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As I ran a few errands today, I decided to wear a cream cotton sweater with a pair of white jeans, which I think are courtesy of MaryK, from our swap, last year. &nbsp;I kept it simple, since I was also running around looking for some muted floral denim pants, so I put on a pair of animal-print ballet flats.<br /><br />The second outfit was a taupe pleather &amp; metallic jacket that I seldom wear. &nbsp;I wore it with my Gap navy silk-cotton crew sweater, Zara navy camo pants and Sam Edelman Petty boots.<br /><br />The other outfit was from February, when it was a bit colder and I wore my cream Gap sweater (happily Angie's sweater twin), Gap 1969&nbsp;jeans, Nordstrom leather cuff, print scarf&nbsp;and SE boots. &nbsp;The other variation is with the Gap BF jeans in a lighter wash.<br /><br />The last two photos were from early February with an aqua-navy striped top, teal scarf, Gap jeans and Aerosole blue suede boots (happily Inge's boot twin).<br /><br />I think I'm ready for more color these days and will be posting a few photos to get your opinion on some travel wear for a four-day trip to London and a seven-day cruise to Spain and France, once there. &nbsp;I'm really looking forward to it and have a few ideas, however, packing with the help and&nbsp;wisdom from YLF will make it much&nbsp;easier! &nbsp;I'm excited to say that I have the Banana Republic winter storm trench coat coming in a week, in two sizes, and I hope one works out. &nbsp;I thought, after Angie posted this gem&nbsp;under the Finds section, that this would be a perfect coat for traveling. &nbsp;I do have a black trench coat, but the lighter-colored one just may be the ticket for late May in Europe.<br /><br />Thanks for looking at these very casual neutrals. &nbsp;After seeing what I've been wearing, I think it's time to bring on the color and get a bit more creative. &nbsp;One way is to read the Forum, because I always get my best ideas from you! &nbsp;That is the absolute truth.
