I do agree that w/o the scarf you look a bit washed out.

The blue and cognac look terrific together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-dw---lemony-citrusy#post-1449794 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 23:14:51 +0000 jackiec 1449794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both versions with the cognac, but I've been wearing my cognac booties with absolutely everything this season. Good points about the makeup changes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-dw---lemony-citrusy#post-1449791 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 23:10:41 +0000 Anonymous 1449791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing how different you look with the citron swapped in for the lemon colour. &nbsp;The brighter , stronger version is great on you! &nbsp;I have had trouble loving my cognac boots and bag this winter too - never found quite the right combination of colours to wear them with and feel great in . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-dw---lemony-citrusy#post-1449773 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 22:19:11 +0000 Summer 1449773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 2. &nbsp;The blue scarf near your face makes the lemon work perfectly for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-dw---lemony-citrusy#post-1449734 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 21:05:08 +0000 Ruth M 1449734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is lovely (beautiful scarf), and #3 is brilliant - you look fab.</p> <p>You are so clever at analysing what does and does not work for you, and why.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-dw---lemony-citrusy#post-1449684 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 19:44:11 +0000 Joyce B 1449684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's really nice on you although I prefer the brighter yellow in 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-dw---lemony-citrusy#post-1449658 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 19:07:17 +0000 Anonymous 1449658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love numbers 2 and 3. &nbsp;You wear yellow well. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-dw---lemony-citrusy#post-1449648 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 18:51:28 +0000 Daria 1449648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my opinion it's not the belt and boots, but the combination of colors in t shirt and jeans make it look a bit&nbsp;overly casual. Perhaps try with a navy t-shirt? Scarf in #2 works. #3 is great!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-dw---lemony-citrusy#post-1449631 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 18:15:23 +0000 kellygirl 1449631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love pics 2 and 3. I think the light yellow might wash you out a little so the addition of the scarf works! Love the citron on you. That color balances the cognac! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-dw---lemony-citrusy#post-1449621 Sun, 01 Mar 2015 18:03:56 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1449621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an older cashmere cardigan (J Crew) that is a color that I think of as lemon yellow. I was not completely satisfied as to&nbsp;how this color played with cognac.</p> <p>First picture I have it paired with an "orchid blue" t shirt from J Crew. The v-neck on this t-shirt is too low for me, and so I added my blue turkish tile scarf. Still not loving the J Crew cognac belt and Madewell cognac boots with these lighter colors.</p> <p>I did two switches on this outfit. One I did not photograph because I was trying to retain the cognac idea and it involved swapping out for blue belt and boots. That worked perfectly well, though.</p> <p>However, I was thinking about why the cognac and the lemon did not work, and I decided it was because the sweater color was too light next to the bold cognac. So I changed over to a citron sweater (the t-shirt is still underneath it fwiw)&nbsp;and added the neon yellow handbag for good measure.</p> <p>Also, I was thinking about who looks good in yellow. Yellow and citron can be iffy for me (I can look too pink-faced in them)&nbsp;&nbsp;but they are working today. Even though I generally try to wear flattering colors,&nbsp;I find that using Laura Mercier Radiance Primer under tinted moisturizer is very helpful in making any iffy color look a little better. </p>
