I admit that the top layer (jacket and scarf) we more of an afterthought since I knew I'd be shedding it as soon as I hit the office anyway. but you're right -- if I'm going to bother, might as well aim to get it right. I do have a longer, slimmer dark blazer and perhaps my red bag would provide the needed balance. Or I may have to seek out a great purple scarf (have one in cashmere but a spring-weight chiffon would be all-round useful anyway).materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-23830454544060788492010-04-17T08:38:28.310-07:002010-04-17T08:38:28.310-07:00Well, this is so cool that you ar e having so much...Well, this is so cool that you ar e having so much fun!!! That's what it is all about. I definitely think a lighter, less bulky scarf up top. To my eye you have a lot of heaviness and volume going on up top compared to your slim legs on bottom. How would it look if you took a slimmer jacket, like a black blazer maybe, and added that pop of color up top. The color doesn't have to match the tights, but should be a color as least as strong as the tights. How about a purple? Great outfits take correction, and then you must WRITE THEM DOWN or print your photos for documentation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-65615924333266660032010-04-16T19:20:03.574-07:002010-04-16T19:20:03.574-07:00I love the tights.

Surely our clothes tell a lot about us. You are a very active and enthusiastic person, ready to hop from one thing to another in no time. These are all positive characteristics, which I admire. Please, don´t slow down ; )mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-43262683789141102322010-04-16T08:28:46.893-07:002010-04-16T08:28:46.893-07:00I LOVE this outfit.

And yes, "jolly sense of fun" indeed. Besides my having fun wearing them, I was amused how much cheer they seemed to bring people at work -- I think we're all ready for a great big burst of colour -- yay for spring!<br />Tiffany: I did think about my chiffon scarf which shades from this turquoise to a chartreusey green OR a pale-aqua chalcedony necklace. In the end, I decided to stick with the single block of colour -- I liked that better with the strong graphic of the dress (which you can't see as a whole in the photos here). For today. I might feel differently next week. But today I liked it just like this. . .materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-18108990604789524652010-04-15T20:36:05.066-07:002010-04-15T20:36:05.066-07:00I really love the colour combinations, but for me ...I really love the colour combinations, but for me the turquoise draws the eye too much to the legs - admittedly, they are fabulous, but I think maybe a scarf which picked up the blue, or a turquoise necklace would shift the balance back up?Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536212906241844509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-9481609521851991032010-04-15T14:56:10.769-07:002010-04-15T14:56:10.769-07:00Materfam...I love you in the dress and the turquoi...Materfam...I love you in the dress and the turquoise tights are inspired. I have been wearing my Turq tights all winter and loving the jolly sense of fun they generate.<br />BTW am blogging from a very pretty island myself today, a bit warmer than yours but similar in beachy appeal...long walks along the water's edge every morning, making me dread going back to London.
