WIW this week-trying to be creative

Hello YLF,

This week the weather became much cooler and I decided that this was the time to wear my outdoor blazers(ie, the ones that are too thick to wear indoors during winter ).I also tried not to grab my blue jeans by default every day but still there are a lot of skinnie and straight legs in here.

1.Both the cardigan and the shirt inside are purple. This was at the end of the day and everything seems out of the place(note to self,not to take WIW just after riding the car for a long time)
2. This is a pinterest copycat of sorts (hope you can see it here http://pinterest.com/pin/213850682277065598/ ) , the pants are burgundy but you cannot really tell from the photo.
3. Maiden journey of my tweed moto jacket.I was helping at school and this was extremely comfortable.
4. Remake of a outfit from last winter. This time I wore it with loafers instead of boots and as the loafers were animal print I left off my animal print scarf.
5.I found this beautiful colored teal velvet at RW&Co and couldn't resist it.The scarf has a burberry kind of print in black and red so I was very happy with the matchiness of this outfit.Again you cannot see the colors properly, sorry for that.

And these were the oufits for the week.I have been having fun dressing and picking up things in my wardrobe, but I wonder, does this looks like I dress always the same way?
Any comment or suggestion welcome.
Thank you for looking

Celia, you look absolutely breathtaking in these rich autumn tones, especially the deep blues and teals - WOW!!! I actually caught my breath at #1; it is just so gorgeous on you. And the same with #5.

All these outfits are fab. I love how each jacket is a little bit different from the others in cut, so in answer to your question, no it does not look like you always dress "the same." Of course we all are limited to bottoms and tops and footwear and in our climate we will wear jackets and scarves as well. And of course, also, you have a definable look. But I am not sure what I would call it, except MOTG total brilliance!

#2 is super cut. I am not used to seeing you in button downs.

I agree with Suz. The blues in the first picture are lovely on you. I really like the proportions in #1 and #5 and the jacket in #5 is fabulous on you. I rarely notice the bags in photos but your red bag is gorgeous. I would never have thought red would be so versatile but it looks great in every combination.

Celia, you are doing really great. Every single outfit is a real winner.
My breath was caught on #3 - cobalt blue is incredible on you, truly incredible. You should wear this color more. So are purple and teal - actually I think we share the flattering colors as these are my favorites too.
I am busting out my Trouve blazer tomorrow too - high five!

Deborah

Celia, you have a gorgeous selection of blazers.

The purple is exceptional on you. Love it. And the cobalt blue in #2 is so stunning.

I don't think you look like you dress the same all the time (but I understand the question cos I ask myself that also). I think your outfits demonstrate that you know what works for you and you do have a signature style.

Thank you ladies.
@Suz, funny that you mention the button down, I used to live in them and really love them but they seem too formal for activities with DD.

@dianthus, I have been trying to find outfits that go with the bag :), it hasn't been very dificult because my fall wardrobe has colors that go together for the most part of it.

@Sveta, high five! I didn't think I would like the cobalt blue so much, especially combined with black(guess I should have taken Angie's word on this one).I find that with different colors my hair and eyes take different shades, this cobalt makes my eyes and hair look really dark.

@Deborah I love blazers, best item ever. I like the idea of signature style

Every outfit is beautiful on you. They don't look like you dress the same, far from it.

I love them all too but #1, #2 & #5 are my favourites.

Ornella

I like each outfit, they are all worthy of copying.

Having just returned from the thread with YLF titles, may I suggest you are given one - Queen Beautiful Smile?

pastrygirl

I think you look great in all of them! They are each a bit different -- it definitely doesn't look like the same outfit all the time. I'm thinking of copying your scarf looks!

They all are great, and very much you. I love your blazers, and that Jacob tweed moto is very excellent.

A k-word worthy week! Especially love #3 and #4!

Lisa

I do think you have an outfit formula that works well for you, but you do not look the same here. Textures and color mixing really add some flare to your outfits. And I adore the pink and tan paired in #2.

Kari

Suz said it well. I don't think this looks like too much sameness. To me it looks like you know what works on your figure but are playful; this series is like an exercise in creating different creative combinations with a similar formula!
I live you in blue.

Wow you look spectacular in 1 & I really like your pinterest copy cat.
