Just wanted to say outfit number 3 didn't seem to go; the skirt was too short and not flared enough, and the whole thing looks a little too fitted and tailored. Also, Kibbe's book was written in the 80s and by "jewel neckline" he means a rounded neckline similar to that of a tee-shirt, not a "jeweled" neckline, which in my opinion is a bit gaudy for the true soft classic type. Not to be critical, just trying to interpret soft classic based on what I've read. :) Thanks for the great visuals!Tabithahttp://thewellbredwomaninprogress.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649358281089627900.post-63554273545000208362012-09-23T15:57:21.310-07:002012-09-23T15:57:21.310-07:00I'm so glad that you liked it Thalia - I am al...I'm so glad that you liked it Thalia - I am always looking for Soft Classic inspiration, and I hope to continue doing more posts on this topic!

I agree that the sweater is more soft natural, but the shape is very nice just a little on the busy side for me. Overall, very lovely choices. Thank you Renata.

Great post!
I ADORE scooped necklines...Hi Renata!<br />Great post! <br />I ADORE scooped necklines - plain for casual wear, or with lace or sparkle or jeweled or other detail for night, or even for day if I keep my jewelry more Classic, as opposed to SC. <br />As an SC myself, I am not fond of that orange tunic - too much of a vertical line feel for me and too much texture at the waist - I like smooooothe! I'm not saying it is not SC, it is just not my personal style.<br />I love the gray dress - but I'd remove that huge flower on one-shoulder - anything asymmetric never "feels" right to me (And absolutely NO one-shoulder anythings! Totally wrong for our naturally beautiful "balance")<br />I'd also have to wonder about the white, longer-length cardigan "hiding" our beautiful and much-needed waist definition. This, again, maybe a personal bias as I have short legs and cannot wear longer length anything without looking "stubby". But the last sweater, the gray wrap? I don't think that is SC - it seems too thick, too textured, too long, and I'd put it in SN, possibly SD (but I don't know enough about them except to know I don't think it's SC.)<br />I love love love every one of your accessories - the earrings and necklaces and shoes! The toes on those pumps are PERFECT! Pointy, yet soft (NEVER pointy anything for a Soft!) I think they call that "almond" shaped! <br />I hope you don't find my comments too critical - and everything is always open to interpretation. I mean, I bought myself a string of Tahitian pearls, recently - several shades of gray with a couple of whites and yellows - it's not all one color and they are strung in a "random" pattern - but I LOVED it! They're FUN, not stuffy and fit "me" - without going too far against SC guidelines. And, being ourselves is what counts, doesn't it? I think one of the hard things about being an SC, or any Classic for that matter, is that because we are "balanced" we can "get away" with almost anything - we don't look bad, per se, in R, SN, N, even SG, and possibly, SD. We just need to learn to recognize what is BEST and eliminate all the rest, unless we truly love it.SlaveSuzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14793207049711762437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649358281089627900.post-38357435836326635312012-03-15T11:06:36.587-07:002012-03-15T11:06:36.587-07:00Thank you, Renata!

The delicate cowl/draped neckline is my favourite as well.Margonoreply@blogger.com
