A column of color is also my go-to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2398196 Mon, 03 Nov 2025 00:57:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2398196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a winning formula, Sal, and it looks great on you in both versions. Glad to see the green jacket is useful for spring as well as fall; I think besides the weight of it, the color makes it very versatile: It's a good color for spring or fall. The bomber is just so cool. I like how it's the star of its outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397984 Thu, 30 Oct 2025 21:37:09 +0000 JAileen 2397984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a column of color and both outfits look great on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397983 Thu, 30 Oct 2025 21:10:07 +0000 Sal 2397983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Dee!&nbsp; We are in a cold spring time right now and light jackets are definitely required. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397954 Thu, 30 Oct 2025 11:30:28 +0000 Dee 2397954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A classic outfit formula for a reason, it just works. Love both your outfits. That bomber jacket is terrific. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397933 Thu, 30 Oct 2025 04:00:58 +0000 Sal 2397933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Star - I will try a swap at some stage.&nbsp; It is fun to play like that!!</p> <p>Jenni - these pants have been so useful for work.&nbsp; A really good light wool that just works for 9 months of the year (I wouldn't wear from December to February).&nbsp; A real workhorse item that I picked up about this time last year.</p> <p>Thanks Lyn!&nbsp; I agree a striped tee would be fun to add in the mix as well.&nbsp; I am enjoying mixing and matching more at the moment.</p> <p>Sisi - I liked this one too and it was great for an outside meal on a slightly chilly night!</p> <p>Thanks Brooklyn - the bomber would work well in your closet as well.....but I am not even quite sure who made it - I thought it might have been Scotch and Soda as they do wonderful satin reversible bombers but I am not sure.</p> <p>Robin - the Mary Janes do add a modern touch, they have been a wonderful addition this year.</p> <p>Angie - I have worn the bomber also with a black dress and with my brown pants.&nbsp; I suspect it will get good wear in our climate and it was just the refresher I needed for a topper.&nbsp; It was definitely a hole...</p> <p>Suz - I think of cord as a more wintery fabric - but it does not feel like a warm spring here and I am still wearing knits and even a puffer on occasion so temperature wise the cord is perfect.&nbsp; It's nice to have some texture to play with.</p> <p>Slimcat - I could experiment with a belt as well!!&nbsp; That's a good idea.</p> <p>Ket - that is very kind!!&nbsp; I spent a bit more time on the bomber one with hair and makeup - I am a bit lazy at work with these things....</p> <p>pirouette - I have always liked a column of colour - it is elongating.&nbsp; I used to do it a lot but not quite as much recently.&nbsp; But it's a really good easy way to dress..</p> <p>Cookie - thank you!&nbsp; Thrifting sometimes brings the perfect piece to me.....some of my most favourite statement items have been second hand.</p> <p>Jaime - I agree - the Mary Janes look good here.&nbsp; I contemplated white sneakers but decided against them.&nbsp; I still wear white sneakers but it feels classic now rather than modern.&nbsp; I have been having some foot problems and am trialling all my shoes at work to see what works and what does not.&nbsp; I have edited out three pairs of summer shoes in the last couple of months sadly because of these issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397925 Thu, 30 Oct 2025 01:25:26 +0000 Jaime 2397925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look fab to me. The bomber is the bomb ! I really like how the mary janes work with the second outfit - freshens the whole thing up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397918 Thu, 30 Oct 2025 00:42:32 +0000 Cookie 2397918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, especially the white one! That bomber jacket is just so great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397898 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 17:16:00 +0000 pirouette 2397898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are great. I like wearing a column of colour with a statement jacket. I feel it elongates my short height. You look tall and elegant in these outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397895 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 16:45:53 +0000 Ket 2397895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, just wow! My favorite is the white with bomber, but only by a single hair. You look so fabulous it almost hurts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397893 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 14:56:20 +0000 slim cat 2397893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great - fab outfits! I like to use the same formula when dressing for work - sometimes adding contrasting belt for fun . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397892 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 14:15:59 +0000 Suz 2397892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That bomber is so great, Sal! I like both outfits. So interesting that the cord jacket has been useful out of the season you anticipated.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397891 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 13:58:39 +0000 Angie 2397891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Brooklyn </b>said.</p> <p>Excellent outfit formula, like the versatile jacket switcheroo, and YES to Autumn items working well in Spring!&nbsp;</p> <p>KILLER bomber and cord jacket, <b>Sal</b>! LOVE that on you!!! I suspect that the bomber is fab over some dresses and with some skirts too :)</p> <p>Hair looking divine!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397889 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 12:30:01 +0000 RobinF 2397889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! I love that corduroy jacket and the black pants look very chic with the mary janes.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397888 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 11:15:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2397888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a good formula. I use it sometimes too. You look lovely. That bomber is delicious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397886 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 11:09:11 +0000 Sisi 2397886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! Both jackets are beautiful. I particularly like outfit #1.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397885 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 08:51:00 +0000 lyn67 2397885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 great outfiits, YLF Sal in them,and Ilike the concept of the column of colour with a statement topper-and use it often myself, too!&nbsp;&nbsp;you And yes could swap the toppers and get another 2 fab outfits! Then you can always add some thin&nbsp; stripes (black on white for the first and white on black for the second) for another swap! Statement toppers but I also love your current looking bottoms do a lot of the job in your chic and clean outfits, great work!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397884 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 06:37:07 +0000 Jenni NZ 2397884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I do especially like those cigarette pants of yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397880 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 05:21:16 +0000 Star (Lise) 2397880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfits Sal!  You could definitely swap the toppers around very successfully making 4 quite different outfits with the same pieces.  Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-column-of-colour-with-a-statement-topper#post-2397879 Wed, 29 Oct 2025 05:17:43 +0000 Sal 2397879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is an outfit formula I used a lot for years but not as much recently. But over the last week I wore it twice.</p> <p>The light column was worn to a dinner at the beach with friends and family. It is spring so the jacket was needed. The dark one was to work where I was interviewing. A very practical work outfit for me.</p> <p>The cord jacket I thought would be better in autumn and winter - but in a cool spring it has been useful.</p> <p>I could swap them around and wear the cord blazer over the light and the bomber over the dark. </p> <p>The bag is older as is the black top but everything else was added in the last 12 months ( I am yet to create a find for the bomber).</p> <p>Thanks for looking. </p>
