I know compared to your recent bold B&amp;W outfit these prints are pretty wimpy, ha!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sara --</b> Glad the dress-as-scarf snuck by originally! I love the look of flares with shorter tops on others, but the proportions don't work super-well on me. If you experiment with longer tops, will be interested to hear if you like them on yourself!</p> <p><b>Angie -- </b>Thanks much! I'm a 70s silhoutte gal in many ways here....<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-the-january-blues-greens#post-1769898 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 15:32:10 +0000 Angie 1769898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liking the dress and tunic over the flares.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-the-january-blues-greens#post-1769886 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 14:45:48 +0000 Sara L. 1769886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all these outfits! &nbsp;I love the scarf/dress - so interesting and creative. &nbsp;I would never have realized it was the same piece if you hadn't said anything. &nbsp;I like your flares outfits with the longer tunics and dresses. &nbsp;I tend to wear my flares with shorter sweaters so this is an interesting silhouette to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-the-january-blues-greens#post-1769856 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 11:50:58 +0000 lyn67 1769856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I adore your not only the January:-)-but all kinds of-blues!

I just am over leggings/skinnies/trying to safely navigate our skating-rink streets/sidewalks. Unlike many here, I do wear flares/'cuts in the pouring rain!]</p> <p><b>Rachy, Suz, Shevia, and Runcarla --</b>&nbsp; The ~ 4 y.o. Ms Peacock does have fans and foes, ha! Thanks for being drawn to its convertible self. I&nbsp;had trouble finding the right print for it but semi-patience was rewarded...the silk is heavy and for sure these are my "glow" colors. </p> <p>I've had fun with the volume&nbsp;(it's just a big rectangle of silk with a gathered neck)&nbsp;but at this point I'm ready have it streamlined etc but...while I love my tailor, I need a different sensibility. &nbsp;And <b>Runcarla,</b> I find most of my tunics work well with bootcuts -- please report back!</p> <p><b>Jill -- </b>Thank you! It's a totally party-trick move that makes me laugh and feel better about wearing really boring items with it. [Though anytime I wear tiny scarves a good pal asks me, "is that a dress too?"]</p> <p><b>CynthiaWSmith and EmilyK</b> -- Thanks much, as I'm very rusty these days and trying to get off autopilot into clothes that connect me to beauty.</p> <p><b>Joy -- </b>Thank you! Any other color-color and I'd have a wardrobe hole too. I'm know you have a closet of silvery and bone delights but I'm sure you have some gorgeous shades to share!</p> <p><b>Greyscale --</b> Thanks, I feel extra-honored you like them given your username! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-the-january-blues-greens#post-1769807 Wed, 18 Jan 2017 03:35:20 +0000 Greyscale 1769807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colors!
