WIW: New scarves and remixes - YouLookFab Forum

Hi All
Sorry about the two posts but I didn't want to confuse matters. Here are some recent looks from late autumn.

1) Black dress with navy boots and scarf. Worn to work. Verdict - I prefer camel or brown knee high boots with this dress.

2) Red leather jacket worn with new scarf. I tried tucking the tee to elongate my legs. But I think the tee is too high contrast for me to carry this off. Day of haircut hence good hair!!

3) Caramel sweater with black crops and unloved flats. Shoes got wet on our lawn... Worn to work.

4-5) Blazer and Jeans. Worn to lunch and the out to the movies and dinner (social day). I started with the tee untucked and the jeans cuffed - and ended with it tucked and the the jeans uncuffed. I added a scarf for the evening. Which is the best version?

6-7) Lilac scarf and black beanie worn to rugby. Cold and clear day.

8 ) Showing details of the new scarves. The top two are the scarf worn in 2 and the bottom is the scarf worn in 1.

It’s funny because I prefer the top untucked in 4 but I really like the proportions of the tucked top in 2. Your legs look a mile long in 2 btw. I can see how the dress in 1 would be perfect with tall boots. You have the legs to pull off the shirt booties though so no worries there. Rugby watching looks chilly! Looking fab as ever!

All terrific - I like the tee tucked out with the blazer and agree taller boots with the first one. Lilac is very pretty even if I am having weather confusion looking at you all bundled up!

I prefer the second outfit in 4, untucked top and unrolled jeans. Have you worn the middle scarf in 8 with this outfit?

Sal

Thanks Joy - I think looking at the pics this is the winner too! Funnily enough this is the version I did not wear:)

The black/red/gold scarf (top and middle) is not the right tonings for the soft grey/duck egg jacket. The bottom one is and I might try that.

Shevia - thanks. Yes this dress works with my camel ankle boots and my brown suede knee highs. Yes it was very chilly yesterday so I wrapped up well!! And lovely muddy rain boots.

Thanks Kelly - I am experimenting with tucking after not tucking in a long time....it is a good way to mix up my proportions at times.

Re #4: Love that white blazer. The middle version (untucked tee and uncuffed jeans) is my favourite. This outfit looks so classic, clean and casual elegant.

Thanks The Cat - I agree that is the best version and how I will wear it from now on. It is actually a pale duck egg blue/grey colour.

Fabulous all round, sweet Sal. You ABSOLUTELY pull off the semi tuck in #2.

Loving the tonal blazer and scarf effect of #5. Like both untucked tee versions of that outfit.

Liking the controlled slouch of #3.

Yes to tall boots with #1. Nicer with that length of frock, and gorgeous new ‘do.

Brooklyn

I love 3. That colour combination is magic and really suits you. For the blazer/jeans outfit, I like the second version best (untucked top, unrolled jeans). You could also try a slightly smaller cuff. And I agree about the tall boots in no 1. In the second outfit, I would be tempted to wear the scarf untied for a longer line. Nice scarves, by the way!
YLF! And it looks cold there. It is still pretty mild here. Most days hit maximums of around 20-23.

You absolutely look fantastic with the tucked top in #2! I think your eye just needs to adjust a bit, is all. Try it with a toned-to-pants top next time and you will start to get used to the feeling...then try the higher contrast and it will feel less startling. LOVE the jacket on you .Gorgeous.

#3 is such a slam dunk. That sweater is one of my favourites on you. I had something similar when my hair was blonde and it's the only thing I miss about having gone grey!

My favourite in #4 is the first with untucked top and rolled jeans -- they pick up the pale blue of the jacket in a nice way and it feels fun.

Those scarves are gorgeous, and such a quick and economical way to give a wardrobe a boost!

Nice! I actually really like #1 with the navy booties.
For the blazer outfit, I vastly prefer the cuffed jeans.

For the red jacket outfit, I don’t know what you’re going on about. I think the tshirt is fine tucked.

You look toasty all bundled up!

Thanks Angie - this soft grey is actually good on me, much better than charcoal which I have eliminated bar one lounging sweater!!

Smittie - yes it was a cold start to rugby at 8am - well a cold start in my terms:) I like the navy but maybe needed navy tights (which I don't have)...

Suz - thanks. Tucking is a mental challenge for me being short waisted... I have been doing it but usually with lower contrast than this. But with a jacket and a scarf I can play with proportions a bit.

Brooklyn- it has been more wet than cold, but Saturday was cold and sunny and clear. I love the scarves but can struggle with how to wear them. I will be repeating the light grey scarf and jacket - I liked it too.

They are all great outfits, Sal!
Love the dress with the scarf and bag in no 1, Knee high boots would also look great with this look.
No 2 is very good - love your red leather jacket and the scarf.
No 3 is gorgeous, chic ang elegant casual perfect.
LOVE no 4, have a slight preference for the untucked renditions, like the jeans both cuffed and unruffled. And the blazer is lovely with the matching scarf.
Lilac scarf and beanie hat are very cute.
You look absolutely fabulous and you nailed these outfits, Sal!

I’m with you on the charcoal grey, Sal. My worst unhappy colour. I will enjoy it on others who are happy to wear it. I do a smattering of pearl grey like you. High five.

Sara L.

I think they're all great. I especially like #3. I also really like how you tied the scarf in #1 - it looks very chic. You look warm and comfy in your rugby outfit.

Looking good for the Autumn!I particularly like the red jacket outfit and I agree that you need taller boots for outfit #1.

Thanks Cardiff Girl.... my camel ankle boots work with the dress as they are low contrast but the tall ones are the best.

Sara - thank you:) You know about these early starts for sport!!

Angie - there was so much charcoal around and I did buy into the trend as a change from black and chocolate. But no more.
