Oh how educational and insightful. I don't think of taupe when it comes to maximal, but yes! :)

Joy replied 8 years ago
Thank you, chewy and Rachylou. I wonder if this taupe outfit qualifies as maximal. When I wore orange, red and pink together it felt much more maximal although there were no patterns or accessories.

This is beautiful on you, Joy. You look incredibly elegant and hip! I love the taupe on you with the cream/white and it is softly autumnal. I think it works absolutely perfectly and does qualify as maximal -- the jacket's drape, the pattern mix, the contrast between top and bottom -- all of those contribute.

wow....as Rachylou said, i wouldnt have thought of taupe for maximial, but with the layering of textures and structure, it totally works.
i think the lenght of the jeans is working, but wonder if you could turn the jeans up for a large cuff instead.

The scarf and sweater draping plus the pattern makes it maximal while the tonality unifies.

Mirjana, and Assisi, thank you. I felt very comfortable in this outfit.
Suz and bj1111, I'm thrilled that you can see what I was trying to do to create a maximal outfit here. Suz, "elegant and hip" makes my day!
Kkards, I will try the large cuff for a change. I usually rolled them but a large cuff would make a nice change and seems more current.

Love the color combination and the scarf really brings it all together.

Love. Great tonal look, Joy.
Roll your pants instead of tucking the hems under, maybe.

Joy, this is totally totally wonderful! Maximal, sophisticated, and somehow still subtle. Wow!

Ooh, Joy, my kind of maximal -- layers and textures without going crazy on the color spectrum. Love it!
-
Joy replied 8 years ago
Thank you, April. I have lots of these light neutrals.
Bonnie, the scarf choice was last minute. I see what you mean about pulling things together.
Angie, thank you for helping. Rolling it will be, or should I shorten the legs?
Cerinda, I love your adjectives.

Joy, the tonal look is really nice on you and all the pieces work well. You could try to roll the hems if they aren't too long.

I am enjoying these colors on your very lovely

Angie replied 8 years ago
I vote shorten, Joy. Even better.

Gorgeous, Joy! Maximal and elegant.
-
Joy replied 8 years ago
Thank you, JAileen, Gail and Ledonna, for your encouraging comments. Angie, shortening would be a good solution. These jeans are an odd length...too long to be crops but too short to wear full length, even with flats.
ETA: Love your comment, Aquamarine.

Absolutely hem those pants, Joy. I was majorly impressed by your PPL before I saw they were tucked under. This outfit is perfect. I love the subtle, tonal color pairing.

Isabel replied 8 years ago
what an elegant look. I think that I will copy it...but with black boots since I have very dark brown hair. LOVE it !

Jaime replied 8 years ago
Great outfit! I vote to hack to pants to this length - it looks just right.
