Does the scarf solve the issues?

So, yesterday I was not happy with the light colors of the pink and the burgundy boots and was looking for a way to salvage the pairing. I will try to get pics of when I tried bookending it with a scarf to see if that makes a difference or if the mirror is deceiving me again....And that black purse was a big fail! Gotta love taking photos!

Wanting a second go with the same sihouette dress and boots to see if the problem someone mentioned about needing to show more leg with boots was indeed something i needed to pay attention to. I had to wear a dress for WW meeting anyway.

I think this version works fine at least to my eye. I defintely feel like I lost a few pounds with this blue version.....What do you think?
Posting the pink one with problems from yesterday side by side for comparison . I know that the sweater and belt are also part of the problem but just comparing dress lengths with the boots here.

I just added a new photo with the scarf on the pink look from yesterday, what do you think??

I think your skin tone looks fantastic with pink! I am really into pink this month

i think the blue looks less seasonally confused than the pink

Blue dress is very pretty on you. Length with tall boots looks good to me. My personal preference would be a regular belt.
The pink seems a bit too broken into pieces. The sweater is broken into pieces with the knit pattern, the belt breaks it in half, breaks where sweater meets skirt and the dark hose break it again. I like the idea of loosing the belt and adding a bookending scarf.

Tracina, a regular belt would be better, but alas my beloved navy one is elastic and too loose now. I hope to sew it and fix it for the future! In the meantme my boho side likes sashes so not a total bust for me....

I think blue colour is better as well as blue dress

Frankly, no. The scarf adds yet another level of complexity, when the outfit is calling for simplicity. I think the pattern on the scarf adds to the confusion. I like it better without the belt though. The blue one is much better.

I agree with Zap: too much going in terms of pattern and texture in your latest rendition.

Thank you , time to give it up! Will definitely wear the dress later with my burgundy moto....

Ok, maybe you will all kill me for saying this but I kind of like #5. It's so purposefully pink and pretty that I find it fun. I like it best un-belted, and the scarf adds a little roughness to another wise too sweet outfit. I like the boot pairing, too.

I also like the blue outfit

I'm not loving the brown boots/tights with the pink. I think it needs something lighter. White? Of course this may make this more of an early spring outfit.

ETA - just re-read your post and see that your boots are burgundy. The color is reading muddy to me while the pinks are so clear and bright. Does your skirt have red in it? How about red shoes?
