I love this color scheme from picture #1 of Ornella's post. I tried my best to copy it but I still like hers better. This coral sweater is the twin of the tan one I wanted to wear and is one of the only things I have left with an actual Marshall Field's tag in it. So not only will the fit keep me in the sweater for a good long time (since 2005) but so will the feel and the quality. The skirt is a high waist stretch wool from BR. Tell me what you think.

It's a really nice outfit with those clean lines again--you (might) know I love that look. The colors are soft but sophisticated, and it's flattering. What more could you want?

Oh, Day Vies -- You look gorgeous! So sleek and sophisticated. Both you and Ornella wear these colors beautifully. You have reminded me that coral can (and should) be worn all year long... not just for Spring and Summer.

Oooh! I love! Once again, ladylike, polished, pretty -- as we expect of you! But I also really like the juxtaposition with curls. You look incredibly fresh in the coral. Nice sweater, too.

You look amazing!!! I love all of your outfits, but this may be one of my favorites. I can't say whether it is the gorgeous simplicity (and classiness) or that color of pink teamed with the grey that makes this outfit sing. Whatever it is, you look fabulous.

I love the way you kept the styling simple letting the colour and lines of the outfit take front and centre. Hot hot hot!

Totally fabulous.

Ornella replied 10 years ago
DV, first and foremost - thank you - I am honoured and flattered. I think this outfit is divine. It ticks *all* my boxes: it's uncomplicated, it's flattering, it's ladylike, it has great colours, the colours look beautiful on you. Then there's a fantastic balance in dark hose with brighter skirt (something I think can go very wrong) and there is the unexpected bit in the grey detail on the shoes which echo the skirt. Simply beautiful.
Now I'm left thinking how I can copy this :-)

I am still crushed, crushed by the death of Marshall Field's. (shakes fist at Macy's.) Love the look, esp the coral. Great color for you.

Nebraskim - we are in the same boat and I'm shaking my fist with you ;-)

You look vibrant, relaxed and confident. The color and proportions are spot on. Love the tailored look with free hair!

Wow that colour is so flattering on you! And the outfit is so streamlined and chic. Wonderful!
-
Adelfa replied 10 years ago
Yes, the hair is incredible with that streamlined silhouette. I recently discovered that I am *craving* warm color accents against my cool toned wardrobe. Haven't done much yet because I hardly own any warm colors. I do have a coral-y pink silk shirt that I put away for Fall--maybe I'll bring it out and put it with a gray bottom.
You look so good!!!

You all have me crying over Marshall Fields again. *sigh* Macy's just can't ever be what Marshall Fields was...
That said, your outfit is wonderful. The colour is beautiful on you and I love your hair, too.

I am fascinated with the process of getting dressed every day -- to me this is more challenging than getting dressed for a big event because what I wear is dictated by my activities, work environment, and the weather. Living in a climate that guarantees four seasons (or at least two extremes) provides both challenges and inspiration.
