Sometimes, I feel I need a particular colour or colour combination. Most often, I buy scarves when I see something interesting, for example in a second hand shop or a museum shop or a designer's scarf for a reduced price etc. I try to get colours that flatter my colouring - but not always. I also LOVE funny, playful patterns in scarves - so cannot resist a scarf when it makes me smile. As to the sizes, I prefer the classical 90 x 90 cm and also long scarves, the longer - the better. The pocket squares and smaller sizes not as much. Although - they are great on bags or in pockets Well, I guess I love all sizes actually. I am quite crazy when it comes to scarves. I could go on and on about them .... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fleece-jacket-with-a-brooch#post-1894400 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 12:11:48 +0000 Kathie 1894400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The scarf and pin are perfect. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an elegant fleece jacket. I’m curious about your scarves. Do you have particular sizes/patterns/colors that you look for? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fleece-jacket-with-a-brooch#post-1894392 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 11:25:34 +0000 Inge 1894392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this, Katerina, it's chic and playful. The red in your beautiful scarf, on the fun brooch, and your lipstick work so well together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fleece-jacket-with-a-brooch#post-1894367 Tue, 27 Feb 2018 08:56:16 +0000 Aurore 1894367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a very elegant fleece jacket!

That is, black blouses is too broad a categorisation. You would have an essential black blouse type and then a variety of others for interest... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fleece-jacket-with-a-brooch#post-1894184 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 19:21:47 +0000 Katerina 1894184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cardiff girl, Torontogirl,&nbsp; Elizabeth P., Sterling and Rachylou </b>- thank you very much for looking and for the lovely compliments!</p> <p><b>Torontogirl,</b> completers are not so easy to understand. I thought I finally got it when I red your question and then Sara's&nbsp;thread on completers (<i>Examples of completers?</i>)&nbsp;and realized it might take a while to fully grasp the concept. Started for example&nbsp;wondering why the blouse is a completer, I would normally consider it to be an essential because it is a workhorse&nbsp;(I really need black blouses and always have several in my wardrobe and wear them constantly). But&nbsp;that is not it. It became clearer after reading&nbsp;<b>Angie's&nbsp;</b>post in Sara's thread and&nbsp;looked at her&nbsp;completers.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fleece-jacket-with-a-brooch#post-1894144 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 18:20:31 +0000 rachylou 1894144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful outfit.

It makes every other piece in the ensemble shine.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have some weird fear of monkeys that I cannot explain so no comment on the brooch other to say you look lovely.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fleece-jacket-with-a-brooch#post-1894130 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 17:31:30 +0000 Elizabeth P 1894130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH.&nbsp; I LOVE this!<br />Also interesting to see Angie's breakdown.&nbsp; I'm still trying to get my head around this stuff, so it's helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fleece-jacket-with-a-brooch#post-1894114 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 15:57:09 +0000 Helena 1894114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To put it far more succinctly - so a completer piece needn't be a "third piece" per se? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fleece-jacket-with-a-brooch#post-1894112 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 15:54:05 +0000 Helena 1894112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous Katerina!</p> <p>Interesting breakdown Angie - now I would have thought the blouse would be a statement piece, and the jacket and scarf would be the completers, because you *could* in theory remove the jacket and scarf and have a functional (if not nearly as interesting or complete) outift, whereas the blouse is necessary (although it needn't be as striking from a purely functional standpoint - which is why I thought of it as a statement vs. essential).<br />Looking forward to seeing more discussion around completers to refine my understanding; perhaps I'm not as bad in this area as I thought ... as I think maybe I have too narrow of view.</p> <p>Sorry to hijack your thread with my confusion Katerina!! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fleece-jacket-with-a-brooch#post-1894110 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 15:52:57 +0000 Cardiff girl 1894110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the scarf and monkey combo,exquisite colour combining. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fleece-jacket-with-a-brooch#post-1894099 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 15:23:34 +0000 Katerina 1894099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jussie, Amy Isabella, Karen13 and JAileen, thank you very, very much for the nice comments.

It’s clever how you are able to combine scarves and brooches together. Really makes the outfit something special :). As mainelady said, those colours are excellent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fleece-jacket-with-a-brooch#post-1894034 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 10:42:59 +0000 Mainelady 1894034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Total win! Your gorgeous scarf and fun monkey dress up the fleece jacket. I am a big fan of black, red, and cream. The red looks so very good on you. I hope you and your monkey side kick have a wonderful day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fleece-jacket-with-a-brooch#post-1894030 Mon, 26 Feb 2018 10:38:44 +0000 Katerina 1894030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just&nbsp;some quick pics of what I am wearing today. Sunny and a&nbsp;very cold day No meetings, office work and a&nbsp;teleconference later today. I wear a soft beige-grey&nbsp;fleece jacket, black stretch&nbsp;trousers and grey boots. I added a silk scarf and an old large Save the Queen pin. It is a monkey and I think it makes the outfit more fun. Patterned silk scarf for some colour. Black bag (not shown in the pictures).</p> <p>What do you guys think? Honest feedback,&nbsp;comments ideas and whatever comes to mind very welcome.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
