I'm jealous of the fab blue jacket! I think the scarf outfits would work better with a less shiny, more winter weight scarf in darker colours. But I think the scarf might look really great with the white background blouse with pink and orange that you wore a few weeks ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fuschia-friday-and-yestderday-too#post-786102 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 17:17:56 +0000 Suz 786102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like you in that ink blue colour. And won't that look great with taupe? </p> <p>Your pink scarf was more of a salmon pink, I think. </p> <p>I love you in the stripes and loved how you tucked your pants into the boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fuschia-friday-and-yestderday-too#post-786034 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 15:56:00 +0000 Angie 786034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the ink blue jacket pics! It fits well buttoned up </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fuschia-friday-and-yestderday-too#post-786030 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 15:43:52 +0000 amiable 786030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! </p> <p>Angie, here's some pics of the ink jacket when it's on correctly. I'm not sure that it fits, but I'm not sure that it doesn't either. It's definitely not snug, but I'm not sure whether it's actually a bit big or not.</p> <p>And yeah on the taupe jacket - I almost didn't keep it because of the color. But it fits pretty well, and seems on trend, so I decided to see if I wear it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fuschia-friday-and-yestderday-too#post-786005 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 15:04:59 +0000 Angie 786005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #2 are really nice! I love the way you tucked the skinnies into the lace-up boots. Fun! Well done. </p> <p>The trousers in #5 are fab. Would look great with a wider belt. It's super with the batwing top :)</p> <p>I like the colour palette with the ink blue jacket too. But am concerned about its fit. Although that might be because the jacket has not been straightened into position. Hope that makes sense. </p> <p>The colour of the taupe jacket is not your best, but would improve greatly with a flattering shade of scarf.</p> <p>I can see that you are having fun on your style journey. LOVE that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fuschia-friday-and-yestderday-too#post-786001 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 14:56:46 +0000 Anonymous 786001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you were trying to wear something fuchsia by using that scarf, but I agree that something heavier might work better in the first outfits (rectangular with fringe?) I love that striped top, the black skinnies and the taupe pants! The batwing top is great too. I vote to keep the tan/taupe quilted jacket. It fits you nicely and flatters your shape. Quilted jackets and coats seem to be trending right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fuschia-friday-and-yestderday-too#post-785948 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 11:34:42 +0000 Raisin 785948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfits 1-3 are great too! I really like a striped top on you, and you were right, the skinny jeans work well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fuschia-friday-and-yestderday-too#post-785945 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 11:21:32 +0000 Anonymous 785945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a different scarf would salvage your first outfit. Your 4-7 pants look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fuschia-friday-and-yestderday-too#post-785887 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 04:25:32 +0000 Karie 785887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those pants on you (#4-7). The fit is fantastic! I think either a longer scarf, or one that's a heavier material or knitted, would work better with the sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fuschia-friday-and-yestderday-too#post-785879 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 03:44:19 +0000 Caro in Oz 785879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #4 onwards on you those pants are fantastic. I don't think the pink scarf works with the knits &amp; boots - too light &amp; shiny maybe? Do you have a knitted scarf to try with #1 to #3? Love the cherry boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fuschia-friday-and-yestderday-too#post-785875 Sat, 01 Dec 2012 03:37:58 +0000 amiable 785875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fuschia isn't realy fuschia. For some reason I had thought that Fuschia was more of a yellowed pink, than a blued pink. And I don't think I have any thing that's the blued pink you're all wearing. What I'm trying out is some yellowed pink. (What color is that called?)</p> <p>And the resulting outfit has felt "off" all day long. I'm not sure why - ideas?</p> <p>#1-3 My first idea was to redo my outfit from the blogger challenge with the taupe slacks, striped top, black blazer and adding this bright scarf. To me, it made the slacks look dull and sick, so I switched to black skinnies. Then the scarf seemed too bright against the black jacket, so I tried a couple of attempts at toning it down. I went with the red, but I'm not sure I made a good choice....</p> <p>#4-8 Yesteday I wore those taupe slacks though, and they fit so much better after I expanded the waist a couple of inches. See? I paired it with my batwing top, and for warmth, added the ink jacket (#7) on top of it (I tried out a new-to-me tan jacket too - should I keep it? #6) Eventually I was cold even with those layers, and added a black silk scarf and my hat (#8). Every time I looked in the mirror, I felt really good. So I think it worked. But again, I'm not sure why.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your feedback and suggestions for improvement. </p>
