Definitely not too much colour, and the colours you have selected work really well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438776 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 18:30:10 +0000 lyn67 1438776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this is such a lovely and subtle&nbsp;color scheme, I would wear it if having the pieces, perhaps less the dangling &nbsp;earings, but that's only me-as am a studs person. I think you could perceive the teenager boys opinion&nbsp;&nbsp;like a shy compliment -it's so rare they think something (good or bad)&nbsp;worths be mentioned at all:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438701 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 16:03:22 +0000 SandyG 1438701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfit and LOVE the earring story.

As I'm sure you know, teenage boys have no filter! And probably not much taste either. Pay no attention. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438667 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 14:56:21 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1438667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful color pallette...I bet teen girls would agree... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438633 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 13:42:35 +0000 Karie 1438633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to teach inner-city HS and the boys wore their pants belted down around their knees, so I don't think I would ever trust their fashion sense.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's probably just more color than their used to seeing you wear. I think you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438627 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 13:28:43 +0000 Anonymous 1438627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, so don't pay attention to your teenagers. That's a lot less color than I wear on a regular basis, so I'm chucking about your need to ask about this. Maybe it has to do with what your children see others wearing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438620 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 12:55:06 +0000 Mona 1438620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My 16 year old loves bright colours and wears them with confidence (just like his mama). You look wonderful in this colour combo. blue and white are a match made in heaven. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438607 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 11:32:42 +0000 Staysfit 1438607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I wanted to comment on the earrings as I happen to really love this outfit and plan to repeat it, probably with the earrings. </p> <p>The boys comments were more amusing to me than an annoyance, but it is unusual for them to comment so directly on what I am wearing so I did wonder if they could see something I was missing. I think Suz has it correct in that boys this age are prone to wearing black and grey, and then they throw in the occasional football or baseball logo sweatshirt or tee from their favorite team.</p> <p>Oh, the earrings! You can't see in the picture but they are made of glass and they are translucent so they have both deep red and almost clear sections intermixed. I purchased them at a local art fair from a woman who went to my DD &amp; DS High School. She had just graduated from art school at Alfred University and was home visiting her mother at the time of the fair. This was her very first art fair and she was just starting her business. I always like a story to go with something I purchase and when I wear them I think about her. I especially like the idea of supporting artists since my DD will graduate next year from art school and also plans to try supporting herself with her art. (A frightening prospect when you are the parent, and even more so when you are the artist starting out!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438575 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 06:03:07 +0000 Marley 1438575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a gorgeous outfit Staysfit - and definitely not too much color! &nbsp;The earrings would be too much for me - I would feel like they interfered with the flow of the scarf - but that's totally a personal thing!<br />BTW - you look great in your new glasses! &nbsp;Love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438547 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 05:09:14 +0000 Deb 1438547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are wearing three colours....white, burgundy and blues. Personally I find three colours the perfect quantity. You look very nice to my eye, although I'd minimise the earrings to a stud with the scarf. In this instance, the dudes are not correct and the doctor knows best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438356 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 23:40:07 +0000 Angie 1438356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH. Kids don't mind their own business, do they. Not too much colour at all. A lovely palette and nice look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438354 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 23:35:15 +0000 Windchime 1438354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I disagree with the teenage boys' assessment. But at least they noticed what you were wearing. Great winter outfit and beautiful boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438349 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 23:30:41 +0000 K.M. 1438349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit, it's all a matter of perspective! I am a big fan of color and I love your outfit. Actually, for my standards, it's pretty subdued (in a good way!). The white and light blue have such a coolness, they look more like neutrals to me, and the boots and earrings work as accents. This reminds me of Angie's gray/white/blue accent look of today, except instead of gray you have burgundy. (But I guess if you wanted to try her formula you'd have a good start here.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438344 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 23:23:12 +0000 frannieb 1438344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like and ignore the teenage boys. I worked middle school for 5 years and my absolute favorite comments from a group of girls. You know Ms. B you could wear your pants a lot tighter. &nbsp;I would say take the word of teenagers with a grain of salt.<br />I would agree maybe not the&nbsp; earring with the scarf but like suz I am a earring minimalist.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438340 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 23:12:02 +0000 crutcher 1438340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you usually wear?...Perhaps these guys are used to seeing you wear a certain style and having you in the more stylish boots and white jeans make you not look like you...who they expect....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438306 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 22:09:05 +0000 shipskitty 1438306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really&nbsp;like it. I think they're just reacting to you challenging the norm - looks good to me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438232 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 20:48:54 +0000 Suz 1438232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To heck with teenage boys. They are afraid of anything other than black and grey. I love this combination on you. I, too, would leave off the dangling earrings with specs and scarf, but I am quite minimalist in my leanings. Otherwise, I'd wear the whole outfit in a heartbeat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438220 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 20:36:10 +0000 Ruth M 1438220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not too much colour to my eye. And I think that particular light blue is a&nbsp;very flattering shade for you. A lovely fresh outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438197 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 20:08:41 +0000 CocoLion 1438197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if you wore these colors in Spring / Summer the comment wouldn't have come forth. &nbsp;You are simply defying the environmental norm by wearing light and bright colors, that's why I think they commented. &nbsp;You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438196 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 20:06:18 +0000 Anonymous 1438196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahahaha! Not at all! You <i>could</i> leave off the earrings, not because they're too much color, but maybe just to have less distraction from your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438188 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 19:33:09 +0000 Helena 1438188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cheeky boys!! I love it ... light blue with burgundy is a favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438185 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 19:29:45 +0000 Joyce B 1438185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kids give their honest opinion but that is only an opinion. I like your outfit.<br /> Just wear it and enjoy it as long as it makes you happy.<br /> Winter can use color to make it more tolerable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438166 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 19:02:09 +0000 Sal 1438166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I I've the boots with the white jeans and scarf.</p> <p>I think it is a great look. The only thing I may change is wearing studs rather than drop earrings with the scarf...but I think it works as is.</p> <p>You look wonderful in that blue...</p> <p>What do boys know!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438148 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 18:28:39 +0000 columbine(erin) 1438148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I disagree with the boys! I also can't help but love light blue, burgundy, and a big dose of white, so I admit bias. I really don't think the color is overpowering on you though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-too-much-color#post-1438143 Fri, 06 Feb 2015 18:25:29 +0000 Staysfit 1438143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Children keep me honest, and they give honest feedback. &nbsp;If they like something they say so, and if they don't they also say so. &nbsp;This leads me to the recent feedback I received from some teenage boys when I wore one of my outfits. &nbsp;"Too much color Dr. Staysfit!" &nbsp;They surprised me because I was happy with the look, but maybe the earrings or boots&nbsp;were a bit much? &nbsp;What do you think? </p>
