Maybe if the belt were shorter.<br /> Shevia, that belt is pink! Actually pink patent leather and white patent on the reverse.<br /> Thank you both for commenting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1147157 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 04:05:07 +0000 Jaime 1147157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these colors on you and that jacket was a real find. The belt is probably white but looks sort of pink on my screen and now I want a pink trouser belt! Are you listening Zara? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1147111 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 03:31:22 +0000 Suz 1147111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, you look amazing. You are luminous in these soft tones. So lovely. I adore the coat on you. #3 is so soft and pretty. And I also think the outfit with the sweater and belt works. For me #5 is too much with scarf, jacket, and belt -- but you know my minimalist leanings. I do think it would work brilliantly with one or the other (scarf OR belt). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1147071 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 02:27:01 +0000 Anonymous 1147071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carter I found more pieces that may count as pastels than I knew I had. Stay tuned for some lavender and light blue when days get warmer.<br /> What I'm wondering is if it would be better if more darks are used in these outfits rather than light shades head to toe?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146880 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 21:31:30 +0000 carter 1146880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at all your pretty pastels! They look beautiful on you. Aren't you going to have some fun with the pastel line-up this Spring! #1 is my favorite, probably because that coat is just so perfect on you I like to see it take center stage. Love them all though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146875 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 21:27:14 +0000 carambola 1146875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wowed by #1. That coat is beyond gorgeous on you! You wear these colors so well. I also love 5, especially when picturing your decision to remove the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146866 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 21:20:08 +0000 Anonymous 1146866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you each for your helpful comments. I removed the belt for today and am wearing the light cotton Halogen jacket under the wool coat and the scarf loose, at least until it drives me crazy. I will carry a light grey ostrich textured tote that will accommodate a notebook and class stuff.<br /> I tried the casual layered ensemble like 4 above but with a leopard print shirt, but didn't get photos. It is lots going on with the scarf but I kind of liked it and will file the idea away. My grey toned chambray shirt would be a better choice but is not in the working closet right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146805 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 20:18:11 +0000 Sara L. 1146805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #5 would be great without the belt. The scarf is beautiful and really ties all the soft colors together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146804 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 20:17:48 +0000 El Cee 1146804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in these soft pastels! The jacket is absolutely gorgeous. I really like your "belt shortening" technique (in 3 and 5)&nbsp;-- makes for an&nbsp;interesting, arty&nbsp;look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146797 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 20:10:56 +0000 Neel 1146797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am completely in love with 1!! Gorgeous color on you and that jacket is such a perfect fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146773 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 19:44:58 +0000 Debra 1146773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These soft colours look gorgeous on you and those jackets are fabulous.<br /> All of your outfits look fanastic but I am drawn to #5 and that cute little jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146767 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 19:36:16 +0000 Gracie 1146767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving these soft colors combined - my favorite looks are 1 and three for their clean lines. I do think 5 is too much – the scarf and belt are showing about the same shape and competing for attention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146763 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 19:32:21 +0000 MsMary 1146763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nobody does these kinds of colors like you do, Joy!&nbsp; I am over the moon about #4!&nbsp; But they are all just fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146686 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:27:52 +0000 E 1146686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This colour palette on you is&nbsp;breathtaking! And lucky you, to have two blush jackets to play with. :)</p> <p>I'm fairly new to semitucking and belting, so I don't feel like I can weigh in on whether 5 is too much or not. But I do love the sleekness of the first 3 options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146684 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:26:25 +0000 Peri 1146684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My personal favorite is 3 because I am strictly no tuck and love that scarf! I'm not so sure about that belt, but listen to other belt experts...I don't even own one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146670 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:16:37 +0000 Anonymous 1146670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>light colors work so well for you. and really like that j crew coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastel-and-light-neutrals-play#post-1146658 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:04:47 +0000 Anonymous 1146658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm searching my closet for light colors with which to thumb my nose at the cold weather. I'd like your opinions and suggestions on these pieces.<br /> Coat : JCrew via consignment<br /> Trousers: thrifted wool lined BR light camel. These barely made the cut last year but seem to fit well. They need some heel at this length.<br /> Tee: Target<br /> Jacket: Halogen, last year<br /> Belt: Calvin Klein, bought long for jeans<br /> Scarf: Oscar de la Renta via consignment<br /> Booties: DV taupe metallic wedges<br /> 1. Trousers w/ coat over tee<br /> 2. Tee, belt and trousers. ( I see that my belt shortening is at a bad angle)!<br /> 3. Tee worn untucked with scarf<br /> 4. Trying Angie's casual layering formula of long tee and scarf worn loose under a jacket, but with the trousers rather than jeans. (Just realized I need a shirt too for the formula). <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/12/06/ensemble-throwing-together-casual-layers/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2013/12/.....al-layers/</a><br /> 5. Halogen blush jacket, scarf and belt. Is it too much? This was the way I planned to wear the outfit later but am now doubting this choice. Ideas? </p>
