I didn’t like black on me for a long time and still mostly wear it in pants, so away from my face. I do like black and white patterns: stripes, snakeskin, houndstooth etc, so they go welll with some black. 10-15 years ago all my graphic patterns were blue and white and navy was the backdrop. I feel more myself now for sure! The long term shifts in colour trends are so interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pine-and-rust-new-bday-purse-another-sweater-project#post-2397510 Mon, 20 Oct 2025 20:32:12 +0000 Ket 2397510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jules</b>, do you think you'll switch to borrow for a neutral? Or are you happy with black? My skin goes ruddy with black. I've spent the last 2 years or so slowly switching over to brown, with some camel, charcoal, and navy for variety. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pine-and-rust-new-bday-purse-another-sweater-project#post-2397491 Mon, 20 Oct 2025 14:50:46 +0000 Jules 2397491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting for sure, given our similar colouring! I have at times in my life worn quite a lot of blue, but it was somewhat dictated by what was available at retail. Now that there are tons of earth tones and greens, and I’ve had a size change, I have virtually no blue, red, pink, or purple left in my wardrobe.. And my dark neutral of choice went back to black after buying navy for quite a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pine-and-rust-new-bday-purse-another-sweater-project#post-2397455 Sun, 19 Oct 2025 22:29:23 +0000 Ket 2397455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan, thank you! I will let you know how the sweater turns out.&nbsp;</p> <p>Carol, thank you! I do love the blouse so, so much! I really like the color and polka dots. Just the right size pooka dot for me.&nbsp;</p> <p><div>Lisa, thank you so much! I will put it on repeat ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>Jules, thank you! Your scarf sounds stunning!! You know it's interesting red is difficult of you to wear. Concerning my struggle to wear blue... I was once told by a seasonal color analyst that the reason I might struggle with blue is it was likely I didn't a lot of blue represented in my natural coloring. (Not just verbatim blue, but blue in the pigments comprising hair color, etc.) It was a super interesting point and I really found it helpful as a possible explanation.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pine-and-rust-new-bday-purse-another-sweater-project#post-2397435 Sun, 19 Oct 2025 16:36:41 +0000 Jules 2397435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit and great choice of bag!<br /> I have a beautiful silk/cashmere scarf in a similar palette as that dress, Echo from Nordstrom several years ago. It’s a little too much red for me as it turns out (red is the one colour generally out of my comfort zone), but so pretty, I need to make an effort to wear it this winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pine-and-rust-new-bday-purse-another-sweater-project#post-2397418 Sat, 18 Oct 2025 21:43:09 +0000 Lisa 2397418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely new crossbody bag in brown. It indeed looks like it will last a long time! I also really like your outfit, it's got a casual fall vibe, and the bright top paired with the darker cardigan is really pretty together. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pine-and-rust-new-bday-purse-another-sweater-project#post-2397324 Fri, 17 Oct 2025 02:08:56 +0000 Carol 2397324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sweater and orange shirt are both fabulous, but it is the shirt that takes it home for me. It reminds me that yes! there is much more than tees out there. The purse is great--see only functional, but a real statement piece. And I love very specific color combinations. That should be a fun one to do.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pine-and-rust-new-bday-purse-another-sweater-project#post-2397322 Fri, 17 Oct 2025 01:59:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2397322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dynamite outfit, Ket!

I hope you find a similar bag. Happy to share buying info. Though not sure if you want to purchase from USA, due to CA shipping and tariffs.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LJP</b>, thank you!! I really love pairing blue-greens with oranges or red-oranges. Your Anthro blouse sounds amazing! :D</p> <p><b>Angie</b>, squeals of delight! thank you!! I admit, I tend to purchase bags with more juice and detail. But this is bag is nearly indestructible, and that appealed to me. As did the color!</p> <p><b>Jaime</b>, thank you!

Spot on :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pine-and-rust-new-bday-purse-another-sweater-project#post-2397185 Tue, 14 Oct 2025 22:10:41 +0000 LJP 2397185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice bag ! &nbsp;It will indeed be a lifer in your wardrobe. I also love the colour combo for your new sweater. I actually had a linen/cotton blouse in these same colours from Anthro that was my favourite for a few years - weird colours but I loved it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pine-and-rust-new-bday-purse-another-sweater-project#post-2397182 Tue, 14 Oct 2025 20:51:00 +0000 Irina 2397182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, love this outfit so much, this is a beautiful color combination!<br />wise decision on the bag. Looks well made and in a great shade of brown. I’m looking for a similar color bag, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-pine-and-rust-new-bday-purse-another-sweater-project#post-2397181 Tue, 14 Oct 2025 20:18:18 +0000 Ket 2397181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I decided to have fun! New thrifted chunky cardigan in pine green paired with older blouse. I love mixing blue-greens with oranges. While not planned, I realized now that the cardigan is textured with ribbing (stripes) and the blouse has polka dots. So a bit of texture and pattern play. </p> <p>We were road-tripping last weekend. The town we were in has a handmade leather purse/bag business there.. After an hour of deliberation I chose their crossbody messenger purse style in Nut Brown leather. I’ve been missing crossbody straps on purses. The leather is substantial, similar to saddle leather. It should last a lifetime and then some. It isn’t a wow purse for me like my burgundy fringe purse. I am worried the fringe purse’s soft leather will take a beating. This is a happy compromise for daily use! </p> <p>Whisky brown flats complete the look. Simple makeup. My day involved homeschool co-op and being Band-aid Queen for a couple of precious kiddos who scraped their knees. It was nice to be casual and comfie. </p> <p>Considering knitting a very 70s sweater in a daring (to me) color palette. We shall see how it goes! Blue is my hardest color to love and wear but I’ve been smitten with the idea of crimson, Smurf blue, wine, and blush ever since I ran across this dress photo. </p>
