Summer in Winter

Mine is nothing like the examples, and much less unexpected, but I still think it's a cute colour combo. :) 

Out for pub lunch with girlfriends and it is sunny and chilly so wore my red velvet pants, a mauve shirt, blue and white tee layered over, a colourful scarf including red and purple and lilac, and my lilac coat and red bag. Waving at Sal, because hey -- I got to make a bag part of my outfit for all of 10 minutes, walking through the parking lot and into the restaurant before sitting down (and hitching it to my chair.)

    I would not have thought to do a shirt under the striped t shirt. Creative and it’s a color combo that harmonizes so well together and on you. The bag strap adds a fun mix too.

    The colors look fantastic together, and I especially like the red pants with the lilac coat. Nice touch that the scarf picks up the colors in your outfit.

    A super cute and creative colour combo :)

    You wear red with lilac with the best of them, Suz

    The scarf brings the palette together beautifully! Pic 3 is KILLER. Fab colours and outfit proportions! 

    Patterned scarves are definitely signature to your style. And I haven't seen your hair look as great as it does right now, at this length! LOVE.

    I’m guessing you received admiring looks from the other pub patrons!

    Love, love, love this combination. Striking. And I envy your red velvet pants.

    Gorgeous color combination and the whole outfit! Nodding along with Angie and others.

    Such a fun outfit for winter.  YLF!

  • Sal replied 2 months ago

    Stunning Suz - it looks great with the bag and coat - and without.

    Lilac and red is a colour combo I have become very fond of - I really works well.

  • Lana replied 2 months ago

    What a creative color combo! Yummy. I would never have thought to put these together but they look stunning.

  • Mirjana replied 2 months ago

    Wow, beautiful color combination. You inspired me to try red and lilac. BRAVO!
    You look gorgeous Queen of stripes. I adore stripes too.

    Gorgeous outfit, and those boots are such workhorses for you!

  • rachylou replied 2 months ago

    I love love lavender and red!! :)

  • Suz replied 2 months ago

    Thank you all! The Ecco boots are definitely workhorses, and so are the velvet pants, at least for this season. I won't be wearing them much in another month or so, I imagine. And yes, a printed scarf is definitely a winter signature item for me, much as I sometimes tire of wearing them -- they add the detail/ pops of colour/ pattern and the neck warmth I crave!

    Well Suz I think for most people that color combination is plenty unexpected and certainly delightful. You look stylish, vibrant and present. Not sure what I mean by present but that is what came to me. Alert and aware, as opposed to sleepy me perhaps. Agree with Angie about your hair btw.

    Really cute, and I love how all the pieces are up to date. Yay for layering, and yay for the half-tuck...I am finally learning to do that.

    Wow, YalwaysLF Suz but this color combo of dark red with mauve and lilac+ silver hair and  white boots-blows me to the orbit!

    Love red with lavendar! Great coat!

  • Laurie replied 2 months ago

    Fab - all of it. And my first thought was also that your hair looks just fantastic right now!

  • Suz replied 2 months ago

    Thank you all for the compliments on the outfit and hair. The hair was (for once, ha ha) blow dried, something I almost never do...and it's getting way long in the back and a real mess because I haven't been able to get to my hairdresser, but I think I'll keep the long asymmetrical bang for a while.

    I absolutely love the colour combo and the fun mix of textures. Very inspiring. Is the lilac coat new? It’s adorable and fab in every way.

  • Joy replied 2 months ago

    I agree with Rachylou, Love the red and lavender and your scarf!
