I'm so glad you like these outfits and glad for your suggestions.<br /><b>Angie</b>, I'm flattered by your K rating on the olive and eggplant outfit. I hesitated to wear it, because I'm often stumped on how to wear that style of top. (And I have four that I've made.) <br /><b>AJ</b>, I see what you mean about the flattery of a collarbone showing. So much of the year I'm cold here if I do that!<br /><b>Unfrumped</b>, thanks for your thoughts on making skirts and tops look current. You know that's something I struggle with! This blue top has a shirt-tail shaped hem, which doesn't show well in the photos, but I agree a shorter jacket or a little tougher looking one would improve the look. <br /><b>lisap</b>, thanks for the shirt (and pants) love. The fabric was actually identified as Burberry by the seller, and it's a beautiful quality shirting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-the-cool-colors#post-1360578 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 15:27:44 +0000 texstyle 1360578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the blues on you too - with the jacket, it adds a perfect casual touch to the outfit. #5 is really fun and cute too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-the-cool-colors#post-1360560 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 14:47:16 +0000 Anonymous 1360560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm over the moon for your top in #5 - the whole look in fact. That is SUCH a great top- very unique, great colour, perfect fabric choice - love , love , love it with the olive pants (my favourite pants of yours) ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-the-cool-colors#post-1360537 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 14:23:27 +0000 Angie 1360537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your twirly photo in #1 is adorable.

I like the combo of the cool blues with the warm tones in the topper, bag, and shoes! </p> <p>FWIW, when looking at both outfits, I think I prefer necklines that show your collarbone. </p> <p>Your sewing creations never cease to wow me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-the-cool-colors#post-1360330 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 04:01:42 +0000 Jaime 1360330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blues are beautiful on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-the-cool-colors#post-1360306 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 03:21:05 +0000 jackiec 1360306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good!! That is such a great shot in #1 with the motion of the skirt. Love the look - love the sandals, and love the jacket on top of all the blue. And the colours of eggplant &amp; olive...what can I say? Yum </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-the-cool-colors#post-1360293 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 03:08:03 +0000 Neel 1360293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you have captured the swishy skirt in pic 1 ^_^ super fun! I also love it with the topper and sandals. And that top in the second outfit .... Is a beautiful and unique color and style. Suits you so well. And the color combo is lovely for fall </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-the-cool-colors#post-1360288 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 02:58:12 +0000 unfrumped 1360288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the twirly skirt. It's a perfect length and those shoes continue to amaze- they make your outfits fab. I think the shirt goes well but is a little plain, maybe due to the straight hem, in a way that I struggle with as to how to add some edge and feel more modern when I am wearing a top out over a skirt. The sandals do that, I think, and the jacket. A kind of moto or<br /> bomber might also, or a shorter vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-the-cool-colors#post-1360260 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 02:09:13 +0000 Style Fan 1360260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colour combinations.&nbsp; Your orphaned shirt looks perfect with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-the-cool-colors#post-1360205 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 23:55:39 +0000 Dee 1360205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the purple and green!

The color is amazing on you and I like It with the contrasting utility jacket as well. It adds a modern touch. Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-all-the-cool-colors#post-1360069 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 18:33:44 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1360069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I'm wearing a closet orphan--a blue sheer-yoke knit top that I bought on sale near the beginning of the year and have never worn until now. I thought it would go with a couple of specific things in my closet, and when it didn't, I thought I might wear it anyway. And then I didn't wear it. But I had waited so long, I thought I shouldn't return it. So it languished. I took a look at it again with this skirt and felt like the colors were close enough to work. I'm leaving the house in the outfit and wearing it to work. </p> <p>Yesterday's outfit also has a lot of color, eggplant and olive--yum! Sounds like an Italian dish, doesn't it?</p> <p>The outfits:<br />1-4 (worn to work): blue and wine batik crinkled rayon 6-gored skirt (made by me); blue knit top with sheer yoke (Halogen); beige cotton utility jacket (Caslon); metallic cutout peep-toe booties (Paul Green); twisted silver dangle hoop earrings; taupe shoulder bag (Aunts &amp; Uncles).</p> <p>5-7 (worn to work, to teach classes): purple and beige micro houndstooth check cotton cowl-neck blouse (made by me); olive skinny boyfriend chinos with brass studs down the sides (Lucky); stone and cream belt (Annette Goertz); brass-wrapped silver front-facing hoops (Marjorie Baer); olive jacket (Laundry by Shelli Segal); taupe shoulder bag (Aunts &amp; Uncles).</p> <p>Comments and suggestions are welcome! Thanks for looking! </p>
