I saw "pastels" and "earthy offsets," thought *how timely,* and had to come right over to see this if and how it works in IRL. Lol. Did not at all make the connection to our earlier discussion.</p> <p>I'm thrilled to see how well it works!! Your oxfords are the ideal shade of brown, and the pointy-toe so with it. That's pastel with some backbone. I'm very excited to try it myself. (Oh, what in my closet is brown?! :D) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199982 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 15:07:31 +0000 Suz 1199982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely! The animal print and brown shoes really do "toughen" the pastels. It's a great look!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199972 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:55:24 +0000 fuzzylogic 1199972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you have put this outfit together! It's a really cohesive look! Pastels with leopard print- genius combo! </p> <p>But I'm not sure the pastel makes you glow like some of the other colours I have seen you in. Adding pretty, sparkly, blue earrings was a nice way to keep your best colours close to your face! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199960 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:47:31 +0000 Angie 1199960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And thanks for linking from the blog post.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199959 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:47:05 +0000 Angie 1199959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's Neel rocking her fab casual style again. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199944 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:29:55 +0000 LACeleste 1199944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Neel,<br />Definitely works! &nbsp;Bet you are the most chic Mom for miles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199911 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:01:24 +0000 Jaime 1199911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks great. I really love the pointy oxfords and bare ankle&nbsp;with the soft colors of the jeans and blouse.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199842 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:43:30 +0000 ramya 1199842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neel you need olive blazer for this. Then you will love it. Or a military coat or a cargo coat or whatever </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199831 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:20:12 +0000 Neel 1199831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks leopardluxe and windchime. </p> <p>Windchime - The top is 100% viscose. I am too cheap to own a silk blouse LOL! I was rather surprised it was viscose because it looks too good for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199827 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:13:30 +0000 Windchime 1199827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very elegant, Neel! Is your shirt silk? I really like the mix of textures and colors in this outfit, and your bag adds warmth and pizzazz. You are on a fashion roll lately! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199826 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:13:06 +0000 leopardluxe 1199826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the balance of the soft pastel with earthy colors. I'm especially liking the leopard print with the soft pink shirt. It's a combo that I wouldn't think would work well together but then seeing it on you makes me go, "Hmmm, that looks really nice together! I should try combining some leopard and pastel."</p> <p>I think you might have just inspired me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199819 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 12:00:44 +0000 Neel 1199819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Karie, Sharon and Inge. </p> <p>Inge - I love your analysis. It's very helpful! Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199773 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 10:12:09 +0000 Inge 1199773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you found the perfect balance between soft/sweet pastels and a tougher juxtaposition, and I love your outfit. The blush looks beautiful with the - on trend - light wash denim and the more saturated blues of your fun earrings, and both colours look great with the browns in your outfit. The fact that the jeans are skinnies and that your fab oxfords have a pointy toe also adds a bit of extra "structured strictness" to the pastels, to my eye. So mission accomplished </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199769 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 10:05:44 +0000 Sharon 1199769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, but I have have to confess&nbsp;a sugar eye for this colour combination. Very chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199764 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:56:21 +0000 Karie 1199764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great, and perfect for the occasion. Pretty earrings and handbag, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pastels-with-earthy-offsets#post-1199763 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:47:02 +0000 Neel 1199763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday while having a conversation on RachyLou's thread, something she told me really struck a cord. &nbsp;Earthy tones can make a pastel outfit look tougher ... hmm ... why didn't I think of that. &nbsp;I am not really a pastel girl. &nbsp;I think they could suit my complexion, but its never ever love at first sight for us.</p> <p>I wore this outfit to DS's playdate today. &nbsp;I bought this top deliberately to try the pastel trend (I mean I would just look through this top usually! &nbsp;LOL!). Angie's Classics and Pastels&nbsp;ensemble came to my mind. &nbsp;I paired the blush (stone?) top with my light wash skinnies. &nbsp;To toughen the look, I added my brown cut out&nbsp;oxfords and brown wide belt. &nbsp;I chose my animal print bag to add some print and since I was still not satisfied I added some&nbsp;blue earrings too.</p> <p>I didn't quite love or hate&nbsp;the end result. &nbsp;Kind of "whatever" feeling! &nbsp;LOL! &nbsp;It takes me a lot of time to warm up to less bright&nbsp;outfits! &nbsp;All neutral outfits are hard for me too! &nbsp;So what do you all think? &nbsp;Do these colors work on me? &nbsp;Thanks for stopping by and commenting. </p>
