You even could add a heavier sock and scrunch it a bit more. The blues of the coat and the sweater "go" and don't match, which is&nbsp;lovely together, and they enhance the grey of the weather, whilst challenging it a bit.&nbsp;And then I read the post, that those boots were your only choice. Sometimes the serendipity of a limited wardrobe&nbsp;is your friend ;)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast#post-1377128 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 18:32:44 +0000 E 1377128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thnx Rabbit! I actually only began wearing socks a couple of years ago, but now I’m addicted to wearing them visibly. :)<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Suz, we did go on a walk after the pics! So you’re clearly good at dog body reading, hehe.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Alasse!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thnx Firecracker: I’m all about practical footwear.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Tanya!</div><div><br /></div><div>Aww: you’re so kind Sarah. Full skirts are pretty easy to walk in, unlike pencils. I ruined a pair of suede boots once, so now I’m more cautious in them, especially when my walks take me to wet woods. I think the suede is the inside of the cow skin? Although I could be wrong!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Angie. :D</div><div><br /></div><div>Caro, oh those are such near pics! I’d wear #3 in a heartbeat; I’ll have to go look at the collection. Thank you for the inspiration.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thnx Karie!</div><div><br /></div><div>Kiwigal, it is tricky to find the softer blue-greens, but they’re my favourites. My (new-to-me) snowboots are lighter coloured actually and theoretically waterproof! I was just afraid my feet would overheat in them.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Good luck Columbine in your colour hunt! I always get excited when I see a shade like this while thrifting, because they’re definitely not common. Thistle is a cute pie, hehe.</div><div><br /></div><div>Neel, she is so cute &amp; sweet for sure! Love dogs. :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Thnx Shevia!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you Joy.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thnx Windchime: they’re chronic issues unfortunately. And yes, my dog is too sweet &amp; we love each other a ton. I spend more hours w her than anyone else! hehe</div><div><br /></div><div>Thnx Sara! Knits are so much easier to fit than wovens, aren’t they?</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh thank you Carole. So many compliments: I’m bowled over!</div><div><br /></div><div>Fern, I hope you find your light coloured rain coat. It definitely perks up a cloudy day! And yes, I love this climate so far, although it seems it’s a warmer autumn than usual. I must’ve brought some heat with me.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thnx Diane! I think these are close to soft autumn colours, no? And I love the pictures Caro shared too!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast#post-1377112 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 18:14:37 +0000 Anonymous 1377112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such gorgeous colours!

I love the soft, romantic look of this. The colors of your shirt and coat would be cheering on an overcast day. </p> <p>Your sweet, patient dog obviously loves you very much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast#post-1376923 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:00:29 +0000 Anonymous 1376923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soft and lovely, and that includes adorable Thistle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast#post-1376914 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 12:50:23 +0000 Jaime 1376914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Always pretty as a picture (in a storybook). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast#post-1376839 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 07:00:04 +0000 Neel 1376839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how your little pup is admiring you from the couch ^_^ Aren't they the cutest admirers ever! I know our pug back home does it too. Keeps looking at us with those huge eyes!</p> <p>Pretty outfit and I love the skirt. Gentle and soft colors as always. You wear them so well! The socks adds some fun pattern interest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast#post-1376705 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 01:39:19 +0000 columbine(erin) 1376705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this color palette on you! A few of your WIW's have started HEWI hunts for me because I just adore certain muted blues and greens you've worn but they aren't always easy to find. Love the picture of Thistle looking at you, so cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast#post-1376700 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 01:27:53 +0000 Sal 1376700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love the colours very much....that is a very pretty shade of teal/turquoise/sea blue. &nbsp;I would love to find a top in that colour, so many teals are bit brighter and harsher.</p> <p>I also like the boots with it, but I can see that light coloured practical boots would be a great addition to your wardrobe.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast#post-1376695 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 01:17:26 +0000 Karie 1376695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soft and beautiful colors on you.

I like all these soft colors together, and your matching socks, of course, too! I think the hiking boots work just fine. Gotta be practical, too. Hope you're feeling better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast#post-1376572 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 21:39:13 +0000 Alassë 1376572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the bow-bodice effect, and your matching tans! And your hair looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast#post-1376556 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 21:22:37 +0000 Suz 1376556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. That last picture of you and Thistle staring at the camera is just so adorable!! It's as if he is saying, Okay, now we've done the pics, are you satisfied?? Time for my walk!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the tonal layering here, and the softness was perfect for this weirdly warm autumn day in mists. Beautiful.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast#post-1376548 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 21:10:39 +0000 rabbit 1376548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the colors in this, that blue!&nbsp;and really like how the bow/glimpse of the underlying top echos the color of the skirt and cut striped&nbsp;socks. It almost gives a petticoat/bodice effect.&nbsp;&nbsp;I need to try the intentional visible socks look&nbsp;more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-overcast#post-1376532 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:51:02 +0000 E 1376532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I finally managed to remember to take outfit pictures before I'd changed into my pjs! I'm sorry I've been so scarce around the forum lately; health issues are the culprit&nbsp;as usual.</p> <p>Today was cloudy and rainy and in the 60s (weather I love), and I felt like dressing in soft colours to match the greyed world. Of course, I always wear muted colours, but this combination felt especially soft for some reason! I meant to add a necklace, but I've been rearranging and sorting in my new place and have managed to misplace the little jewelry case with my necklaces. I'm sure it will turn up soon, but in the mean time the bow will have to be sufficient decoration. I didn't bother belting: I liked how the outfit looked softer without a belt and showed of the little button on this vintage skirt. I promise the waistband isn't cutting into me: I should have adjusted the tee &amp; cami to lay smoothly before taking photos. I also fixed the sleeve cuffs so that they were even after I saw the pics!</p> <p>For my walks, the sky was still very overcast and threatening rain, so I needed a raincoat. Since my robin's egg trench went with the outfit, I couldn't resist adding it! Unfortunately, none of my waterproof shoes are light coloured (that would be a HEWI for me: colours that bookend my hair seem to only come in suede), so I had to wear my brown hiking boots,&nbsp;which spoiled the effect a bit, but oh well.</p> <p>All feedback, positive or negative, is welcome as usual! </p>
