If I ever did that 40-piece only wardrobe, which I am incapable of, the plaid blazer would certainly be in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2307067 Wed, 08 Feb 2023 00:54:36 +0000 Bijou 2307067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning all round - the purple shirt is such a beautiful colour and with the velvet teal suit, it sings. As for the plaid blazer, so glad you have it - I cannot imagine anyone wearing it better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306935 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 12:19:17 +0000 kkards 2306935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That purple shirt is beautiful.<br /> And you have the best outerwear! </p> <p>Re WFH outfit- it’s so funny to me that you changed into a blazer for a zoom call. Most people that I work with are dressed up when they’re not wearing a hoodie… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306932 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 11:58:03 +0000 Inge 2306932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Well, you already know I love a good purple and green combo, and you wear this colour palette splendidly!!</div><div><br /></div><div>The teal suit with the purple blouse is just WOW, Tanya! I love how the trousers fit and the crisp lines of the jacket.</div><div><br /></div><div>That tartan blazer is another stunner and the combo with the beautiful lace blouse is unexpected and so spot on. Great mixture of textures too.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Yay for unearthing older goodies in outfit 3! For me it's more the combination of the 3 light colours (looks beautiful though) that reminds me of Spring than the length of the cropped pants. Not sure about the length of the blazer, it <b>is</b> the on-trend longer length indeed. Does it also feel too long to you when you pair it with longer trousers (e.g. full-length jeans that are cuffed, or a longer cropped pant)?</div><div><br /></div><div>P.S. Your coat and footwear collection continues to be fabulous too!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306926 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 09:46:50 +0000 Brooklyn 2306926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You had me at teal velvet… So lovely. I can see your theme coming through.</p> <p>Have you had a jacket shortened before? Is it difficult? I’m thinking of doing the same. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306911 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 04:38:40 +0000 Anonymous 2306911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I bought a pull on print skirt that has quite a bit of green and purple in the print. &nbsp;But it also includes navy, black, grey,&nbsp;cream and bronze. &nbsp;I plan to use green or navy the most with it,also a white tee and a .black blouse. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306888 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 01:32:21 +0000 Jaime 2306888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like the teal suit and the plaid jacket looks. I like the oversize look of the white blazer too but I lean toward oversized looks to a fault. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306884 Tue, 07 Feb 2023 01:28:28 +0000 Jonesy 2306884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the teal velvet blazer and matching pants--fabulous! That textured, double-breasted midi coat is beautiful. I really like the fit of the cream blazer, but it's definitely a looser/longer cut and it may not be to your liking?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306879 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 23:15:53 +0000 Tanya 2306879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the nice words!</p> <p>Helena, you are right, purple and teal are every much my signature colors.</p> <p>Angie, thank you!&nbsp; While I do have a lot of blazers, this one is one of my favorites.&nbsp; Good to know that those cropped pants are on trend.&nbsp; That pink lace blouse would look awesome on you.</p> <p>Nikki, glad to hear that you are enjoying combo of purple and teal, too.</p> <p>Anchie, not sure about that blazer.&nbsp; &nbsp;The shoulder fit is right.&nbsp; It feels too long, don't know if it is too big as well.</p> <p>April, that was a fun gathering!&nbsp; How time flies. I am surprised there are no photos from it, too.&nbsp; Yes, those were the days I wore wedges most of the time.&nbsp; I still like them, but wear them only occasionally these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306860 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 19:54:36 +0000 April 2306860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya - that Helmut Lang jacket!&nbsp; Swoon.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I probably have not shopped in downtown Philadelphia since <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tomorrow-is-the-philadelphia-ylf-meetup">our YLF meetup there&nbsp;</a>in October 2010.&nbsp; I distinctly remember taking photos that day, but none on the thread?&nbsp; Hmm. </p> <p>ETA: and I remember your red patent leather shoes!&nbsp; Unlike the rest of us in our practical walking flats, you wore a wedge heel.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306841 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 19:10:41 +0000 anchie 2306841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have great wardrobe and I especially like your velvet suit and plaid blazer. Blazer in last photo looks too big overall, or maybe it is this new oversized shape that I am still getting used to? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306832 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 18:47:02 +0000 Anonymous 2306832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m really loving your teal and purple combos!

And as always, your coats and Winter accessories amp up the glam and chic! #4 and #6 KILLER AWESOME :)</p> <p>Your WFH look screams Summer, and that makes me smile! That extra cropped length is on trend, actually. You're ahead of the game. #8 is particularly cute!</p> <p>I LOVE the way you keep your stuff for ages, and re-purpose items. YES!&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306786 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 14:33:17 +0000 Angie 2306786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be back, sweet <b>Tanya</b> - but first I have to faint at how KILLER PERFECT that blazer in #5 is for your style and sartorial preferences......</p> <p>*faints*</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306780 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 14:21:55 +0000 Helena 2306780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! This looks like a signature palette for you! Love the lush teal velvet ... so rich and sumptuous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwx3-purple-green-part3#post-2306778 Mon, 06 Feb 2023 14:12:58 +0000 Tanya 2306778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is the third and final part of my mini challenge last week to wear the Green &amp; Purple outfit formula for a week.. These are three work outfits worn Tue-Thu, two to go to the office and one for WFH.&nbsp; The office ones continue my Dark Romance theme.</p> <p>Outfit #1 (photos 1-3):&nbsp; Combination of teal velvet suits and bright purple blouse, with lots of black additions: patent booties, faux leather beret, studded tote, midi puffer.&nbsp; I wore the puffer instead of a coat for two reasons - warmth an to dress the outfit down.</p> <p>Outfit #2 (photos 4-6) was built around a plaid blazer that already involved both color.&nbsp; Again, everything else is black: lace top, straight wool pants, edgy booties, midi textured coat, same bag and hat as above.</p> <p>Outfit #3 (photos 7-9) was for WFH, and looking at photos I realize that I am not very happy with it, likely because the cropped length of the pants makes me think spring/summer. I went for pastel green &amp; purple again to cheer myself up on a gloomy day.&nbsp; This is also my way of joining Kkards OBG challenge, I am trying to wear out some old knit tops and toppers.&nbsp; The lilac top is an old going-out top from 15 or so years ago I am trying to repurpose as layering top.&nbsp; The cream zip up knit jacket/sweatshirt i also pretty old.&nbsp; It is unfortunately from one size smaller time, so now I can only wear it open.&nbsp; There was a brief switch to a cream cord blazer&nbsp; for a work Zoom call.&nbsp; While I am on Team Long Blazer, this one looks a bit too long even to me and I may need to shorten it 2" or so. </p>
