They will have a blast together. &nbsp;:-)<br /><br />And I thought of another color that would look great with that orange...deep peacock teal.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides/page/2#post-900475 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 05:59:20 +0000 Hil 900475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ingunn, they're all fantastic but I'm going to add to the orange wedge love over here! If you could find a way to make those work...wow!!! You are such an inspiration!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides/page/2#post-900462 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 05:39:44 +0000 Ingunn 900462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Okay Ginko, I will I like the idea of a green blazer with the orange shoes, in fact. I do have an apple green one (see pic).&nbsp;Some day Ill post an outfit with that combination. It will probably work with the outfit I'm wearing in this photo.Thanks for suggesting it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-900460 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 05:39:15 +0000 Adelfa 900460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ingunn, you are a poster child for looking springlike while still dressing for winter. As Suz says. In my own tiny California way, I try to do this too so I really appreciate it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-900454 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 05:32:52 +0000 Ginkgo 900454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Please keep posting frequently, ingunn, &nbsp;I always learn so much from you. &nbsp;I share your affinity for modern classic, but I think you have more places to go and reasons to dress up than I do!<br /><br />#2 and 3 are my favorites today (they're all fab). You simply must continue breaking in the orange shoes, they'll be beautiful with deep blues and cream colors. &nbsp;Hmmm, and maybe green blazer or is that too much? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-900447 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 05:21:43 +0000 Ingunn 900447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aida, it is interesting that you also state #2 as your favorite this time. I see what you mean, too, and I quite like the outfit, in fact. What bugged me is the length of the pants. I NEED to get them hemmed 1". I also don't think the scarf is presented as it should, since there is a cream section in it that doesn't show in the photo. And the orange shoes are the problem in #3, nothing else. Thanks for the suggestions of variations. I agree in everything you said. Thank you for the detailed response :)<br /><br />Beth Ann, I'll have a look for gel inserts today. I need them for my black pumps which are a little roomy. For the orange wedges, I don't think there is enough room. I wore them yesterday, too, with thin socks, and then they are&nbsp;quite comfy. Hopefully they will break in a little. Thanks a lot for reminding me.<br /><br />Thank you Karie, Pil and Celia :)<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-900286 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 01:39:09 +0000 celia 900286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Interesting to see the difference between what I see in your outfits and your happiness factor with them , I guess it is the same for everyone. <br />For me all the outfits look equally fab with the same great composition.<br /><br />I enjoy immensely your posts so I stand with those who do not consider you a forum hog :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-900278 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 01:30:54 +0000 pil 900278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Count me among those who never tire of your posts. I would love to have a similar wardrobe but can't seem to buckle down enough to make it happen. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-900193 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 00:02:43 +0000 Karie 900193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love to read your posts! Great outfits, love your scarves. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-900172 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 23:38:46 +0000 Beth Ann 900172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVE the orange shoes, and I'm sorry to hear their not very comfy.&nbsp; Maybe nude trouser socks?&nbsp; Gel inserts?&nbsp; I've gotten so I put ball of foot inserts in all my dress shoes -- they keep my feet from sliding forward and moving around as much in the shoes --- this allows me to buy them large enough to give me some "wiggle" room.&nbsp; <br /><br />You and AJ are the mix masters!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-900153 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 23:19:49 +0000 Aida 900153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great accessories experimentation, and double good on you for noting the happiness levels for each outfit. What is it about #2 that made it medium happiness for you? That's my favorite of the bunch. Casual, chic, no-nonsense, appropriately springy for your weather. #3's color combo is a classic spring/summer one for me, blue+white+orange. Happiness factor is lower there just because of shoe discomfort, yes?&nbsp;I think this one would also look good with a shorter statement necklace over the shirt (still buttoned all the way up, love that), perhaps one with some metal or shine to it. Or maybe with your hair pulled back + dangly earrings/unbuttoned neckline. And of course&nbsp;#1 and #4 (all versions) look great, too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899989 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 20:18:03 +0000 Ingunn 899989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ok, Shannon, I won't mention it again *happy dance*. Thanks!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899960 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 20:03:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 899960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Have you no idea how much we enjoy your posts??? No forum hogging at all.<br /><br />Again, I like every single outfit here but I'm especially enamored with #2. There a quiet elegance about it - the pieces in and of themselves are fairly simple, but the fit of each item and how they work together, takes the outfit to another level. And I absolutely adore the way you're wearing the scarf.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899955 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 20:01:15 +0000 Ingunn 899955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you, Astrid! You are so sweet :)<br /><br />Kiwi, thank you - more love for the orange wedges I think I just have to make them work.<br /><br />Una, that's very good to know. I know I can be a little obsessive at times. I'm glad you liked my outfits.<br /><br />DV, now I almost feel embarrassed for bringing this up. Thank you! I really appreciate your detailed analysis and positive feedback. That is very inspiring. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899874 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:38:08 +0000 Day Vies 899874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Never a forum hog &nbsp;-- I will not accept that description! I love your posts and felt distinctly that something was missing from YLF&nbsp;when you didn't post for a while earlier this year but you're back in full swing so no need for frowny faces.&nbsp;<br /><br />I love the chambray shirt with the white jeans and orange wedges. LOVE IT! The scarf in #1 is so attractive against the navy and white stripe. I love that the shoe is a blush tone neutral and the skirt is a khaki neutral a different approach that adds another layer of&nbsp;interest. I feel left out because I don't have a dotty scarf like #2 but I love how you've used just navy and white (a favorite combo of mine) to create so much&nbsp;<i>look</i> without a lot of pieces.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899865 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:26:14 +0000 catgirl 899865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You could never be a forum hog, Ingunn! &nbsp;I love looking at your outfits in thumbnails because we can see the variety within the cohesiveness. &nbsp;Such a well-put-together palette in this series! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899862 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:24:37 +0000 Kiwichik 899862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I enjoy reading your posts and seeing how you put your outfits together - funnily enough my favourite outfits are 2&amp;3 which were medium happiness factors for you. I love the pops of orange in 3 - those shoes are great and I'm a sucker for polka dots in 2. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899847 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:08:59 +0000 Astrid 899847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I also love seeing your posts and outfits, they're always fantastic. And you do it all with a small wardrobe, which is my goal as well! You look fab. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899750 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 16:21:10 +0000 Ingunn 899750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you, fabbers, for being such a wonderful bunch! I will keep on hogging, then. I'm also very inspired by all the love for my orange wedges. They ARE fun, so now I'm wearing tehm around teh house with thin socks. They actually look really good with the navy stripes and sigarette pant (#4). Hopefully they will break in a little, so I can wear them barefooted eventually.<br /><br />T-Rex, I love your suggestions for the wedges. I have dark denim (of course!), and an apple green blazer. I was thinking that even my cobalt blue dress could work well with those. The socks are a good idea, too, I'll keep my eyes peeled. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899744 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 16:13:53 +0000 lyn67 899744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such a colourful week, love all the yellows, and oranges, with the whites, creams and navies here. Very fresh! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899726 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:48:01 +0000 Thistle 899726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look fresh and so springlike! I love the scarves. So pretty! Isn't it funny how accessories can just make an outfit? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899715 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:32:50 +0000 Carole 899715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I absolutely love all your posts, Ingunn! I enjoy the pretty pictures and your lovely wardrobe, please keep it up, I learn so much from you! Loving these accessories and your orange wedges are so fun! Too bad they aren't very comfortable but they sure look great! That's my favorite outfit, well and I love #4, too! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899689 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 15:05:58 +0000 Susie 899689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your posts! You always amaze me with your mix and match ability. <br />I am sorry to hear that the orange wedges aren't comfortable because I LOVE them! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899662 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:42:33 +0000 texstyle 899662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ingunn, I look forward to your posts every day and miss them when I don't seem one so please don't worry about posting too much.&nbsp; I wish I had your fashion energy though! All of these outfits are again just beautiful each in it's own right. Love the color of the bright scarf with the more neutrals and those wedge shoes with the chambray shirt and the bracelet&nbsp;- LOVE this. I'm not a scarf person but you make me want to be. And the necklace is the perfect fun but not too obvious touch to those stripes. It's perfect the way the necklace is round or circular in design on top of those stripes. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899652 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:33:44 +0000 T-Rex 899652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What about a thin sock to make the wedges more comfortable, that is also a fashion accessory in itself? I have no idea if the orange in the socks below is the right shade, but I'm sure there are other patterns out there that incorporate the orange of the shoes. The other colors in the socks could give you a jumping off point for building the rest of your outfit, too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899592 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:37:27 +0000 Suz 899592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ingunn, I am so impressed by the way you are managing to look like spring, even despite the still-bitter temperatures. I am finding this exceptionally difficult myself so I admire you and applaud your efforts!&nbsp;<br /><br />What a shame about the orange wedges. They are so pretty, and I adore that outfit! I also love yesterday's. I think I may need to get a dark nautical sweater, too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899588 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:35:24 +0000 Sarah A 899588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Forum hog some more! Please! I love you looks, so inspiring. I second the idea of wearing the wedges with socks a bit (I choose medium weight wool when needed) to see if a bit of break in can make them hose friendly. I would love to duplicate each of these looks. Fantastic!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899586 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:33:08 +0000 T-Rex 899586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The standout for me is that yellow dotty scarf wth the blue stripe top. Perfection, but in a casual "Oh I just threw this together" kind of way.&nbsp;<br /><br />The orange wedges are sooooo cool. Please find a way to make them more comfortable, so you will wear them more often. I think they would look amazing with dark denim and a belt in a similar color. Or a patterned belt that incorporates that color. I also think they would look good in an outfit that incorporates some shade of green. Anything from medium to dark green. And I think a yellowish green would work just as well as a blue toned green. Or even some of both.&nbsp;<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899575 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:29:32 +0000 Elizabeth P 899575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Please don't stop being a forum hog!&nbsp; Like others, I get a lot of inspiration from your posts.<br /><br />Too bad about the suede shoes, I LOVE them!&nbsp; Maybe wear them around the house a bit with thin socks (when no one will see you of course)&nbsp; to see if you can break them in a bit?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-week-14-when-the-accessories-decides#post-899569 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 13:26:59 +0000 Marigold 899569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like 1 and 3. The polka dots and navy stripes complement each other wonderfully, and the light skirt just adds to the overall springy happy theme.&nbsp;<br />I envy how effortless the white jeans and those yellow wedges look on you! Plus denim shirt, beautiful.
