Restyling a Mannequin – Lemon Chiffon
Happy Wednesday, ladies. Several readers asked why there wasn’t an example of a winter palette in yesterday’s post, and the reason is I had a total brain fade and forgot to add her so here she is! Please know that this is just one type of winter because Colleen’s palettes are all customized for the individual woman. If you are a winter, these colors aren’t necessarily your best.
And now for a color challenge. You know that I try on plenty of clothes that are not my style or best color. I do it for you. If I only showed my best shapes and colors, most of you would be bored and uninspired. When you see me wearing a terribly unflattering color or shape, please know that I’m not saying it’s for me. I am showing you options.
As always, you can click the red text for more info and to shop the item. Thank you for shopping through my links and supporting my business at no additional cost to you.
In my hunt for color, I stumbled upon this mannequin earlier this week.
She’s colorful but not overly bright so I decided to turn the volume way up:) And here’s Jennifer in a color that makes her look ill, even wearing it 3 feet from her face:)
This is one of my favorite style jeans from Talbots and they’re certainly cheery. They look great with the scarf but overpower the jacket, and me. This yellow would look fabulous on many women…I’m just not one of them.
I needed a palate cleanse after that yellow so I tried on one of their latest dip-dyed sweaters. Dip-dye is a fun alternative to tie-dye.
Can you wear this yellow? How about dip-dye?
I hope to get back for a dressing room diaries later this week.
MORE FUN COLORS AT TALBOTS
Thanks for reading ladies and remember to wear what makes you feel confident.
I would not wear the lemon chiffon jeans. Not my shade?atall but as I said I fond squash yellow more apoealing to me. I love the dip dye sweater and would definitely wear it. Good for you for showing us styles and colours when they are not your preference!
I would certainly wear the twill jacket and the jeans, probably not the gingham scarf. Yellow isn’t one of my flattering colors and I wouldn’t choose the lemon pants even though they’re not close to my face. I’m not a big fan of ombre or ‘dip dye’ but might purchase a less expensive piece like a T-shirt – it does look great on you though
I like the twill jacket. I wear lots of Talbots clothes and have several of their twill jackets from past years. I am with you on the yellow jeans. I have blond hair and yellow makes me look ill. I love the dip dye sweater. May have to buy that for myself!
I enjoy your dressing room diaries. Hope to see one soon.

I am working on one for Friday:)
Love the yellow pants…very cheerful as long as it’s not near my face. The manikin is great and I like the scarf. The dip sweater is nicer and really looks good on you. Nicer…Then tie-dye.
The winter palette is not for me.
Thanks for the post.
Yellow makes me turn yellow. I can pull off a very light yellow, maybe.
Love the green jacket. Have one very much like it. It is one of my favorite. It is very versatile while looking sharp.
Love the dip dyed sweater looks very nice on you. Makes your eyes shine.
I’ve felt confident wearing similar field jacket, khaki with silver snaps on collar [Tribal brand, old]. My favorite scarf with this jacket is long, textural, cottony, muted-plaid, in red-oranges/sage. Wide bangle in leathery copper-colored metallic. Bold hoops to mimic jacket snaps — sometimes jewelry combining wood and silver [from Soft Surroundings, purchased on sale 2020]. Metallic bag, from Lo & Sons purchased through Jennifer’s site [LOVE this bag; great for travel with many pockets]. Field-jacket look is completed with substantial everyday sandal in pewter color, such as Mephisto, which conforms to your foot and is so comfy you’ll crave them and receive many compliments on their modern style.
I love your styling ideas! Just great
Jennifer! I ordered the field jacket in Blossom Pink last night! I was glad to see it came in Plus sizes. Ten years ago or so I had a similar field jacket from Talbots in a khaki or stone color that I just loved. Unfortunately, I “outgrew” it hahaha. Am looking forward to wearing the new jacket this spring, summer and fall.
The pink is gorgeous! I know you’ll love it
Love everything that’s on the mannequin! I have a similar jacket that I wear all the time in spring.I think the winter palette is for me. At least those are the colors I gravitate to.
I fell in love with the scarf at first glance. I love those colors. I even like it with olive jacket. The closest I get to colored pants is probably my burgundy or deep brownish gold. I like tie dye, color block, color dipped but usually indulge in very little. I’m a stripe, windowpane, check and plaid in winter. That’s my walk on the wild side.🙂
