Your challenge has been fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1778229 Tue, 14 Feb 2017 01:50:06 +0000 DonnaF 1778229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your beautiful red jacket with the heart pin made me smile and no doubt made newcomers to your church feel welcomed.&nbsp; Love the pattern mixing and trying to avert my eyes from tempting footwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777964 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 16:03:21 +0000 JAileen 1777964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quietgirl, thanks! You're already mixing patterns! I'd love to see your version. I was having trouble with the scarf due to the annoying tags. It turns out, the edges won't unravel if you cut the stitches on the tags. It's so much easier now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777960 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 15:45:01 +0000 Quietgirl 1777960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this. Bought that scarf myself so it is fun to see your edit!<br />Snazzy! I wear mine with a Saint John multi-stripe top from J Crew. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777957 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 15:30:28 +0000 JAileen 1777957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, thanks! This jacket is definitely not a holiday piece. I could see it with an outfit of neutrals. Since it's boiled wool, I won't be wearing it when it warms up, obviously.</p> <p>Robin, thank you!</p> <p>Bonnie, thanks! I started looking for plaid pants, but haven't find anything so far. I have such a hard time finding pants at all, that adding the additional requirement, plaid, might make it impossible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777952 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 15:14:31 +0000 Bonnie 1777952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look perfectly put together. When you find your plaid pants, post another photo. It sounds like a great option to black.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777945 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:52:57 +0000 RobinF 1777945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! The patterns work perfectly and the boots are a great final touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777938 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 14:22:04 +0000 Lisa 1777938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely outfit with some maximal kitchen sink styling. &nbsp;And I recently did a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://shoppingbrake.com/2017/01/30/valentines-day-outfit-a-gentle-touch/">gentle touch post </a>on my blog where I presented an outfit with a red blazer for Valentine's day or afterwards (it's half way down the post). &nbsp;If you have the pieces, it could be a fun outfit for you to try on a warmer spring day! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777872 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 05:26:18 +0000 JAileen 1777872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachy, thanks! </p> <p>Lisa, thanks! My husband laughed because I liked a red jacket when I was limiting my wardrobe to grey and blue. I also love its clean lines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777865 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 05:17:37 +0000 Anonymous 1777865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this ! I remember your initial post for this jacket - it's such a perfect piece for so many occasions . Love how the scarf works with your pin </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777864 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 05:05:15 +0000 rachylou 1777864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kapow! I love maximal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777830 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 03:09:53 +0000 JAileen 1777830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, thanks! The jacket is not scratchy. I wouldn't say it's soft, but not scratchy. It's not thick like other boiled wool I've had. It was in the low 30s when I went to church, though, and it felt fine. I saw lots of red today, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777806 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 02:24:13 +0000 Anonymous 1777806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Valentine Kitchen Sink style! There was lots of red at my church today. I love that boiled wool jacket. Is it scratchy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777795 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 01:49:55 +0000 JAileen 1777795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, thanks! I have Smittie and Suz to thank for the boots. </p> <p>Cynthia, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777789 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 01:29:22 +0000 cindysmith 1777789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777788 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 01:18:14 +0000 Brooklyn 1777788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lurve your boots JAileen. You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777779 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 01:06:53 +0000 JAileen 1777779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ledonna, thank you so much!</p> <p>Ryce, thank you! I took a jewelry making class several times. I'd like to take it again, but it isn't offered anymore. :(</p> <p>Angie, thank you. I know this is a minimal version of the maximal look, but I was trying to stay true to DonnaF's challenge, too, of no black or grey. I'm really interested in the kitchen sink look, but the Valentine's challenge is kind of limiting. I might be able to pile on more pattern tomorrow - I have a red and grey plaid jacket that I could combine with stripes and maybe another pattern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777656 Sun, 12 Feb 2017 20:08:46 +0000 Angie 1777656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice pattern mixing, JAileen. Festive red too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777653 Sun, 12 Feb 2017 20:05:44 +0000 Anonymous 1777653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely interpretation.<br />I ❤️ your heart pin!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777648 Sun, 12 Feb 2017 20:02:24 +0000 Ledonna N. 1777648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely. Truly you do. I like that you carried the repetitive pattern in the belt and the boots. Lovely patterns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-mashup-kitchen-sink-donnaf-valentine-challenge#post-1777646 Sun, 12 Feb 2017 20:00:04 +0000 JAileen 1777646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this outfit to church today. I loved Angie's kitchen sink outfit, but sadly, I don't have plaid pants. (I'm going look for some, though!) Also, I was a greeter, so I wanted to look festive for Valentine's Day. So here are three patterns: stripes, polka dots, and snake, plus red for Valentine's Day. DonnaF's challenge also included a no grey clause. This is soooo hard!</p> <p>I wore my new red boiled wool jacket, navy and white striped top, red and blue silk scarf, a handmade sterling heart pin (made by me), and new snake pattern boots. I've loved the boots that Smittie and Suz had, but could not justify getting them until I found them 50 percent off at Dillards. Yeah!</p> <p>So, what do you think? If you have any suggestions, I'd like to hear them. Thanks! </p>
