I like the color of the top for you (it's a rather low contrast color on you), but hear you on frilliness. Can the flower be removed? I rather like the pleating, but the flower is doing it in for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maroon-and-cobalt-inspired-by-tanyas-post#post-1335166 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 18:04:01 +0000 Vicki 1335166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it, Neel, and with the black-and-white handbag, everything just pops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maroon-and-cobalt-inspired-by-tanyas-post#post-1335158 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 17:59:27 +0000 Angie 1335158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet your frown is adorable too. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maroon-and-cobalt-inspired-by-tanyas-post#post-1335152 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 17:51:56 +0000 catgirl 1335152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course you did it. Girl, you are rocking this outfit. I love it - and you are convincing me that dark red is possible, since we have similar skin tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maroon-and-cobalt-inspired-by-tanyas-post#post-1335090 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 16:46:12 +0000 Neel 1335090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your very kind words!

Could the top be converted to sleeveless, doing away with the frilly cap sleeve? Then it may look more your style. You can wear the colors any season but the outfit seems especially right for late summer and fall. Love the flats! I have a similar old pair that I hang onto although the toe is very round for today's styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maroon-and-cobalt-inspired-by-tanyas-post#post-1334875 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 12:47:45 +0000 Neel 1334875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone for your inputs! Guess this would be a good time then to update this top with something more modern and clean </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maroon-and-cobalt-inspired-by-tanyas-post#post-1334843 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 12:00:21 +0000 Tanya 1334843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the combination, of course.&nbsp; I think that the red is very flattering on you.&nbsp; I would keep the top till you find another one you like better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maroon-and-cobalt-inspired-by-tanyas-post#post-1334841 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 11:53:15 +0000 Dottie 1334841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is the perfect red for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maroon-and-cobalt-inspired-by-tanyas-post#post-1334829 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 11:31:32 +0000 Anonymous 1334829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a great colour combo on you! I don't think this shirt is too too frilly. I would keep it until you find something you like better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maroon-and-cobalt-inspired-by-tanyas-post#post-1334811 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 11:12:24 +0000 Jaime 1334811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color combination looks great on you and, although I do know what you mean about the frills, I would keep this top to play with until another dark red top comes along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maroon-and-cobalt-inspired-by-tanyas-post#post-1334805 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 09:54:05 +0000 Jjsloane 1334805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fresh and lovely. This combination is beautiful and the deep red is very nice on you. I like the flowy style of the top, it serves to debombshell the skirt a bit and keeps it summery.&nbsp;I'd keep the top until you find a replacement that works better for your style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maroon-and-cobalt-inspired-by-tanyas-post#post-1334804 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 09:50:36 +0000 Neel 1334804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When Tanya posted about <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-more-wearable-dark-red-color-combo">this</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yet-another-more-wearable-dark-red-color-combo"> maroon and cobalt combo</a>, I had an aha moment.  I do have a top whose colour I call "maroon" (I apparently even have a maroon skirt!).  Deep red is somehow a bit harder for me to process because this is the first time I have heard it(!).  This is what I wore today to take DSs for their school uniform shopping.  I finally have that sorted and can breathe in peace!</p> <p>I am wearing a cobalt tube skirt (old/no brand) with a flowy maroon blouse (old/no brand).  To lighten the outfit a bit, I added my rescued-from-the-donate-pile cap toed ballet flats (Ecoflex).  When these flats die .... it would be a very sad day  I tried to search for an exact replica but I couldn't find one  They complete many of my outfits whenever I am stumped for shoe choice!  My striped bucket bag (local turkish brand) completed the outfit.  Do you think the short skirt makes this outfit more summery although the colors are fall appropriate?  Or do you think it looks seasonally confused?  I usually wear all colors all seasons but wonder what you all think.</p> <p>Also, do you think this deep red (or maroon in my world) suits my skin tone?  I am on the fence, so any advice would be appreciated.  This is one top that I am not too much in love with (I find it a bit twee for my style now/frills and flowers!) but whenever I wear it someone compliments!  And then I hang on to it!  So what do you think?  Keep or purge?</p> <p>Thank you as always for your advice and comments! x </p>
