I like the idea of adding a scarf or some jewelry. A brooch, or two, would be fab on your jackets. How about a small scarf tied to your handbags or adding a tassel or Pom Pom to them? I don’t think you need much, just a little splash of color or texture should do it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classics-need-for-finishing-touches/page/2#post-1890063 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 20:16:53 +0000 Aurore 1890063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your detailed insight, <b>Sara</b>!

It's incredibly instructive&nbsp;to get so many helpful tips. </p> <p><b>rachylou</b>, <b>tulle</b>, I definitely need more brooches. Thank you tulle for all your ideas!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>jussie</b>, <b>L'Abeille</b>, thank you for the scarf tips! I love small silk square and tieing one to the bag handle would look lovely.</p> <p><b></b>Thank you for your ideas&nbsp;<b>The Cat</b>, larger earrings would be great!</p> <p><b>La Belle Demimondaine</b>, thank you so much for your detailed ideas! I love the idea of layered necklaces.</p> <p><b>lisa p</b>, <b>Brooklyn</b>, <b>Isabel</b>, and again <b>La Belle Demimondaine</b>,&nbsp;I think you raise an interesting point&nbsp;with hairstyle and makeup. I'm&nbsp;indeed used to wearing minimal makeup and styling my hair in a tight high ponytail or braid for work, and a more elaborate makeup and hairstyle could help adding pizzazz. I'm currently very bad at styling my (long and unruly) hair, but that's definitely something I should learn to do. Same thing with the makeup. Thank you very much for making me realise that! </p> <p><b>shevia</b>, yes, attitude also greatly impacts the actual rendering of an outfit...I always feel awkward when being photographed, which does not help soften my looks on the photos! ;)</p> <p><b></b><b>Torontogirl</b>, <b>Amy Isabella</b>, <b>Cee</b>, thank you very much for your inspiring words!</p> <p><b>Jane</b>, <b>Sal</b>, thank you!&nbsp;I will have to try to use the white bag and the scarf for similar looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classics-need-for-finishing-touches#post-1889426 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 06:59:20 +0000 Jane 1889426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits, I especially like 2.

The no-nosense look is projecting from your serious face and in real life the whole thing probably comes off differently. If it were me I would add one thing - big earrings, brooch, scarf to mention things we have seen lately but not limited to that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classics-need-for-finishing-touches#post-1889388 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 03:20:22 +0000 Anonymous 1889388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At first glance I thought both of these outfits looked a little severe, especially around your face.</p> <p>But I think that in real life, the absence of obvious makeup and lack of jewelry and "flash" probably imparts a softness to the outfits and is also consistent with the understated classic look.&nbsp;</p> <p>These are truly classic looks rather than classic items worn as fashion statements and you wear them with a naturalness that is lovely.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classics-need-for-finishing-touches#post-1889326 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 00:34:36 +0000 Brooklyn 1889326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful in both outfits.

The pale blue is so pretty on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classics-need-for-finishing-touches#post-1889281 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 21:28:20 +0000 L'Abeille 1889281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I were wearing those outfits I would add a scarf somewhere. A silk square. If the neckline is already too full you can tie it on the bag handle. Both are classic looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classics-need-for-finishing-touches#post-1889277 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 21:23:01 +0000 The Cat 1889277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What beautiful jackets you have! I see no absolute need for adding more items here. But of course, if you like, you can add brooches, printed scarves, slightly larger earrings, classy bracelets ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classics-need-for-finishing-touches#post-1889276 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 21:13:49 +0000 jussie 1889276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like both these outfits. They are very flattering and neat and tidy. You could try a large Woolley scarf or the opposite end of the spectrum and a little silk square scarf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classics-need-for-finishing-touches#post-1889247 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 19:56:27 +0000 tulle 1889247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautifully done.&nbsp; My first reaction was "nothing more needed here"...except maybe some jewelry at the neckline to draw attention to your lovely face.&nbsp; With the equestrienne look, I'd be tempted to pin a vintage cameo brooch or stickpin into that scarf;&nbsp; with the dress and jacket combo, maybe a&nbsp; classic-necklace-with-a-twist?&nbsp; Tangled pearls or one of those J. Crew metal-flowers-&amp;-rhinestone things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classics-need-for-finishing-touches#post-1889241 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 19:39:43 +0000 rachylou 1889241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how neat and trim these too looks are.

Maybe a brooch or pin? Bonus points if it is equestrian inspired, like pic</p> <p>I think the second outfit is classic and, and a simple necklace would be really pretty with it. The blue jacket would look nice with pearls; however, I think a dairy gold necklace would look really nice too</p> <p>Both look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-classics-need-for-finishing-touches#post-1889100 Tue, 13 Feb 2018 14:08:33 +0000 Aurore 1889100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Joy</b>, sorry for the cross-post! And thank you for your detailed idea. I have a scarf that may work&nbsp;: it has a dark brown, pink and light blue pattern on cream background. For some reason, in the photo of the Find it seems to contain much more green than the real one.<br /> I may have to try it with a different bag though, whose color would match something in the scarf. A white bag, maybe...</p>
