I have a warm tan skirt that I use as a winter light; it will come out shortly. I once tried a sweater + white (twill)&nbsp;skirt combo, but it just looked seasonally confused to me. I do have a cream sweater for winter, though.</p> <p>Thanks, Aquamarine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356714 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 18:06:51 +0000 Aquamarine 1356714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 really stood out for me too! You really know your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356711 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 18:05:12 +0000 Anonymous 1356711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new mustard top is lovely as are all your outfits. I'm going to vote #3 as my favourite too and coming up a close second is #1 as I love the light colour palette. You look great in light tones and could try adding a few more to your winter looks as well to mix things up a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356695 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 17:48:34 +0000 Alassë 1356695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you,&nbsp;Eva &amp; Una, for explaining steampunk. I have some steampunk-y brass jewelry, but unfortunately that dark a metal is too "heavy" on me visually. Not to mention the size of the pieces. Dainty and gold look much better on me, scale-wise.</p> <p>Thank you for commenting, Suz! I appreciate it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356689 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 17:40:46 +0000 Suz 1356689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 is fabulous on you!</p> <p>And I love the mustard top as well.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356688 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 17:40:41 +0000 catgirl 1356688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's sort of an edgy Victorian vibe... The nipped in waist and tweeds and browns.&nbsp; E described it very well.&nbsp; Brass accessories would go well too, like compasses or other old fashioned techie stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356674 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 17:27:24 +0000 E 1356674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alasse, I associate steampunk w fitted waist silhouettes, bold brass or pewter jewelry, layers, shades of brown, vests/waistcoats, and boots. Such a fun look &amp; one I'd like to incorporate more into my style too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356651 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 17:01:50 +0000 Alassë 1356651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for commenting, Una! What gives it the steampunk vibe to you? (I like some of&nbsp;that style as well, but don't know how to incorporate it.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356626 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 16:27:02 +0000 catgirl 1356626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3&nbsp;is my absolute fave here - a little steampunk and so flattering on you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356547 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 15:10:04 +0000 Alassë 1356547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Angie! That seems to be the favourite this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356529 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 14:55:49 +0000 Angie 1356529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #3. That pop of coral under the brown is pretty and striking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356424 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 13:19:26 +0000 E 1356424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course, in hot weather tapering/close fits is not so helpful! I had to type my whole comment twice too: I can't wait to have my internet hooked up. I'm not really a phone person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356415 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 13:05:07 +0000 Alassë 1356415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Eva, for taking the time to comment &amp; giving your expanded thoughts; I always look forward to reading your insights. That's an interesting thought regarding taper; I agree that below-the-knee shorts/capris need to be tapered for best effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1356411 Tue, 16 Sep 2014 12:59:48 +0000 E 1356411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness I love you in that pink! And like MG I loved the layered autumnal feel of 3. Imo the hint of pink provides just the right touch. </p> <p>Mustard is one of my favourite colours (on other people) and that's a great blouse! And so versatile: it works with all of those bottoms. I really love the proportions of 5: when I compare it to 1, I think the taper in the brown capris makes them extra flattering. Just something to think about on your next mending/altering kick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1355843 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 16:30:16 +0000 Alassë 1355843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, MuseumGal! I was afraid that one was too spring-y with pink. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1355811 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 15:11:27 +0000 MuseumGal 1355811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, 3 is <i>deliciously</i> fall!&nbsp; So pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-this-week-36#post-1355793 Mon, 15 Sep 2014 14:47:53 +0000 Alassë 1355793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello all! We got a touch of fall weather last week; it was wonderful. It's back to summer this week, but pleasant temperatures as opposed to sweltering ones. I'm enjoying getting to wear this mustard top; I bought it last year when pregnant as I knew it would be my style.&nbsp;</p> <p>Comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome, and thanks for stopping by! </p>
