I am also wearing last year's olive and burgundy...even more than last year as I finally found a few supporting accessories for those colors. Maybe next year I will wear mustard </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwso-2017#post-1975330 Sun, 18 Nov 2018 03:58:30 +0000 Jaime 1975330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit and snow both stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwso-2017#post-1975192 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 16:37:11 +0000 Cardiff girl 1975192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Olive looks good on you .Enjoy your cosy afternoon,can’t believe that you ve had snow already but I guess that’s usual for your part of the world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwso-2017#post-1975168 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 15:21:41 +0000 Jessikams 1975168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful snowfall.

I love pictures of red things in the snow (cardinals, barns, holly), so it's no wonder this is my favorite time of year to wear red and burgundy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwso-2017#post-1975079 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 09:58:14 +0000 Janet 1975079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Elizabeth — for me, colors are independent of trend. Trendy colors are only relevant to me in that they become more popular at retail, and it becomes easier or harder to find my preferred colors as trends wax and wane. Right now is one of those times that is helping me hang onto my shopping dollars, as I’m not loving a lot of the trendy colors or they don’t suit me.</p> <p>I think your olives look amazing on you, and you look perfectly current! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwso-2017#post-1975051 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 04:56:33 +0000 Helena 1975051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here here to Elizabeth's comments. Olive looks AMAZING on you - wow!!! </p> <p>Lots of snow here today too ... The good, snowman-building kind </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwso-2017#post-1975048 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 04:36:50 +0000 Cee 1975048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeeesh... Didn't you lot have a heatwave not that long ago !? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwso-2017#post-1975046 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 04:34:34 +0000 Jenni NZ 1975046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF Carla! I love my olives, but don't have wine in my closet any more ( only in my kitchen!) Olive has been a staple in my wardrobe since 2013 and I am always keeping an eye out for more.<br /> Love your scarf.<br /> Your hair looks different to usual- straighter I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwso-2017#post-1975025 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 02:56:09 +0000 Carla 1975025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the endorsements. I agree (with Elizabeth P and others), that if a colour works it transcends trends. That said, last year was good for acquiring olive and wine coloured items, and those colours were popular with fabbers! </p> <p>Rachylou, with 'leftovers' and summer aquasitions, I seem to have inadvertently created a mini capsule (see pic below). The olive sweater is one of those treasures - fine merino wool, but not sheer. Pill proof after several years. Soft and warm for cold days. I usually wear it with jeans or black pants, but was craving a bit of colour - no matter how subdued.</p> <p>Lisap - 'kitchen bridge' is 'no pressure' bridge. We get together with a couple and play a set of games, changing up partners so everyone plays with everyone. We have a break and snacks, and will even talk about strategy or 'conventions' - so there is a learning opportunity. We are part of an organized group of about a dozen couples that do this over the winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwso-2017#post-1975012 Sat, 17 Nov 2018 01:55:49 +0000 Brooklyn 1975012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Elizabeth P said.

Scarf is perfect with your hair and the sweater too...</p> <p>Funny, I was just thinking that I'd not worn any of my olive pieces at all this fall/winter - and it was all I wore last year. &nbsp;I think I just got olived-out, but will always hang on to &nbsp;the better pieces as I still consider it a classic colour . &nbsp;And whatever kitchen-bridge is, it sounds like the perfect thing to do in retirement !&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwso-2017#post-1974908 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 18:45:46 +0000 cjh 1974908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it.

But wine and olive reminds me of Italy and Greece, which are much nicer to think about than snow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwso-2017#post-1974881 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 17:39:39 +0000 anchie 1974881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this color combination really suit your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwso-2017#post-1974879 Fri, 16 Nov 2018 17:34:15 +0000 Carla 1974879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last year wine and olive seemed to be the popular colours to add for F/W 2017. Well, I’ve never been cutting edge! Besides, I’m joining LaPed’s no shopping challenge. </p> <p>We got our first snowfall of the season and DH and I are off to an afternoon of ‘kitchen bridge’ with another couple so warm and comfortable it is.</p> <p>Sweater - Cynthia Rowley (2 years old)<br /> Velvet jeans - Calvin Klein (1 year old)<br /> Boots - Franco Sarto (4 years old)<br /> Wool scarf - gift (6 years old) </p>
