This is a great outfit overall. And you're right, the colour combination is fantastic.</p> <p>I'm less fond of adding the red myself, but I always have been conservative when it comes to combining colours from different "families". For brightness, I would have preferred a silver here, to keep the moody vibe going. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-and-indigo#post-782220 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 15:40:01 +0000 celia 782220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although blurry I really like the combination of colors and proportions of this outfit.Well done!<br /> I see nothing wrong with the jacket but maybe if you wanna try with different pictures to see how it looks better. Also I find that whatever I wear underneath the jacket sometimes alters my comfort level in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-and-indigo#post-782182 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:36:59 +0000 Sara L. 782182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the outfit looks great and wouldn't have noticed anything off about the jacket if you hadn't mentioned it. The shoulders may be a little wide but I think the jacket is definitely wearable until you're able to find something you like better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-and-indigo#post-782150 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:10:34 +0000 Beth Ann 782150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy: This shape of jean is amazing on you -- get more! The strong shoulder line isn't a problem for me either, although I understand how we're all "balancing" elements in our bodies with clothing choices.</p> <p>This color palette is very pleasing ---- love these deep, saturated tones on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-and-indigo#post-782139 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:58:27 +0000 Anonymous 782139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans turned out great! And I love your colour combination. I do agree the jacket shoulders might be a touch big, but it will be a good placeholder while you find something better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-and-indigo#post-782113 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 12:48:50 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 782113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket looks great with the jeans and the grey top. Very pretty. I am not sold on the red bag. For me, the bag is a warm red and the jacket is a cool red but I have a thing for cool reds and always love them more than warm reds. Very cute outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-and-indigo#post-782092 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 11:05:16 +0000 ManidipaM 782092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That colour combination is indeed delicious. If you don't mind my saying, I rather think the shoulder line of the jacket works beautifully here to balance the flare on the pants --- I don't find them too strong at all! Rather, it seems to emphasize the nip in your waist by highlighting the hourglass shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-and-indigo#post-782079 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 09:54:47 +0000 Rabbit Heart 782079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amiable, the colours are great and the red bag totally works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-and-indigo#post-782038 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 05:55:02 +0000 suzyq 782038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amiable, All I can say is I've been lurking around this site for a few months now, afraid to post much more than the barest positive feedback. You have made a complete transformation in such a short period of time. The indigo and plum are inspired. You are working with what you have and it looks beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-and-indigo#post-781985 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 03:06:34 +0000 Suz 781985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colours together! And I agree, your jeans darkened up nicely. The jacket looks great from the back, but if the shoulders are bothering you then perhaps you can replace with a better fitting one as soon as you are able to. </p> <p>I always worry about whether my bag works with plums, other reds, fuchsia, etc. But I end up wearing it anyway since it is my only one at the moment! And it surprises me by working more often than not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-and-indigo#post-781980 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 03:00:14 +0000 Carole 781980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admire your ability to transform your wardrobe! The shoulders do look a tad big but I really like the jacket and the colors together, even the red bag! You have such a pretty smile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plum-and-indigo#post-781978 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 02:56:26 +0000 amiable 781978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by this post<br /> <a href="http://chevronsandstripes.com/2011/10/color-combination-indigo-plum/" rel="nofollow">http://chevronsandstripes.com/.....digo-plum/</a></p> <p>I decided that I wanted to pair the colors plum and indigo. So I did (adding gray, to match the watercolor pic in the post).</p> <p>The jeans are my freshly-darkened wide leg jeans. I think the color turned out great!<br /> The gray sweater is the one you've seen before. (I found one that I like better in my maternity clothes box, and slimmed the tummy off of it, but was dismayed to find that it smelled musty and definitely needs washed before I go wearing it). The plum jacket was in my 'out' box, because I feel like the shoulder pads are too big. I tried removing them, and then the jacket was too big. So I put in smaller ones, and the jacket looked frumpy. So I re-attached the original ones to wear today. I liked the color combo, but still think I have too-big shoulders in this jacket, so I don't know whether to keep it or not.</p> <p>I wore this to church and Thanksgiving Dinner #2 today. I got lots of compliments, but in general didn't have my bag on me. Does the red bag go with this ensemble? Does the outfit work? (Suggestions more than welcome!)</p> <p>(Sorry for fuzzy pics, I lightened them to close to the actual shades... But the jacket is closer to a purple than a burgundy) </p>
