I think that makes the pieces modern.</p> <p>I do think pearls are lovely on most skin tones. I must get mine fixed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-obg-1#post-2151626 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 06:50:56 +0000 Bijou 2151626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pearls and plaid are a match made in heaven and something I would never have thought to put together. This is wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-obg-1#post-2151623 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 06:36:56 +0000 Liesbeth 2151623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, Suz! I was curious how you'd style plaid - had a feeling the woodcutter would be nowhere in sight ;).<br /> I am curious: are these older items workhorses that have held up extremely well, or the kind of items that serve a very specific function in your wardrobe? The latter is true for most of my items older than 6 years I've found. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-obg-1#post-2151599 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 04:05:34 +0000 Suz 2151599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the compliments! Much appreciated. My writing group (on Zoom) also commented on how dressed up I was today. Pearls will do that!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Shevia</b>, when my hair was blonde, pearls were super easy for me to wear and I loved them. Then I went grey and my overall colouring suddenly felt a bit cool for pearls (as well as for gold). But you commented that you had returned to some gold hardware etc. after initially signing off it -- and I feel much the same about pearls. Gold is still iffy (though I will wear it) but pearls -- with the right support act, seem to feel a bit less fraught these days. I need a real strong juxtaposition for them to work at all, though -- denim, flannel, maybe leather? -- something a bit on the boyish or even tough side. No pink dresses with pears.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-obg-1#post-2151587 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 03:47:19 +0000 Brooklyn 2151587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plaid and pearls! I love it! That’s a great shirt. Nice warm colours. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-obg-1#post-2151578 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 03:31:01 +0000 Jaime 2151578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pearls look just perfect here. Wow! I have a hard time wearing pearls because I feel they need to strike just the right note on me (doesn't work effortlessly like Angie!) but I am inspired. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-obg-1#post-2151575 Tue, 03 Nov 2020 03:24:13 +0000 Anonymous 2151575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have shown us a fabulous way to wear a flannel shirt.

Love your styling of the shirt - YLF!<br />Looks great all together - wish I can see flats and pants as well ( later, when the big mirror is available ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-obg-1#post-2151489 Mon, 02 Nov 2020 21:45:32 +0000 Suz 2151489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to give this challenge a go, mirror or not. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I went through my closet and my Finds (which date to 2014). In Finds I've posted anything from 2015 back. And, well -- it turns out to be a huge proportion of my wardrobe! I am feeling pretty darned good about the use I get from my clothes at the moment!&nbsp;</p> <p>Of course some of these are seasonal summer or deep winter items that I won't be wearing in the next week.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the meantime, I decided to start (Like <b>Liesbeth</b>) with a plaid shirt! I almost donated this one last year because it had become a bit snug with weight gain. But I lost the weight and it fits again so I ended up keeping it. It's so cozy. The perfect shirt for a cool day when you don't feel like wearing a sweater over top indoors. Fun for holiday wear, also.&nbsp;</p> <p>Wearing with pearls to juxtapose with the boyish hair. The earrings are my late mother-in-law's -- they must be 80 years old at least! Also wearing Kit and Ace stretch wool trousers, that dress it up a bit from jeans. And my fuchsia flats. </p>
