WOW!!! </p> <p>*faints* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-dressskinnies-the-formula-verticalhorizontal-stripes#post-836723 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 01:02:05 +0000 Sarah A 836723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day Vies &amp; pil thanks for vote of confidence on the pink stripes :)</p> <p>@ Beth Ann - i think you are onto it for the black and blue outfit. I have a dressier black pant (needs hemming but...) that drapes better. Will try it and report. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-dressskinnies-the-formula-verticalhorizontal-stripes#post-836440 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 20:02:50 +0000 Beth Ann 836440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah: #1 is stunning, #3 is supercute. As for #2, it looks like the waist is lower and the fabric is stiffer than a lot of wide legs. I think a more classic wide leg (or a dressier one) might work here. Love the top half.</p> <p>And your oxfords are elevating every outfit you pair them with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-dressskinnies-the-formula-verticalhorizontal-stripes#post-836396 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:24:39 +0000 pil 836396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The stripe mixing in 4/5 is fun! I'm not an oxford gal but those shoes are pretty awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-dressskinnies-the-formula-verticalhorizontal-stripes#post-836366 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:58:19 +0000 Day Vies 836366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the jacket in #1 and the pink pattern mixing. Very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-dressskinnies-the-formula-verticalhorizontal-stripes#post-836298 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 18:16:02 +0000 Sarah A 836298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! I feel I am having more "hits" and less "misses" lately. I am also very comfortable wearing the leather jackets instead of sweaters inside to stay warm! Would not have considered that an option preYLF.</p> <p>The shoes are Cole Haan Alisa oxfords. And yes, Linda, they are soooo comfortable. I did size up 1/2 size because my feet are to the wide side of normal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-dressskinnies-the-formula-verticalhorizontal-stripes#post-836237 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:33:13 +0000 suzyq 836237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara /Linda, must have that shoe. What's the brand please? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-dressskinnies-the-formula-verticalhorizontal-stripes#post-836198 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:04:30 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 836198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're shoe twins! Aren't they super comfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-dressskinnies-the-formula-verticalhorizontal-stripes#post-836189 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:55:13 +0000 amiable 836189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree - love #1 - what cool oxfords! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-dressskinnies-the-formula-verticalhorizontal-stripes#post-836169 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:41:55 +0000 Suz 836169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #1. So terrific with the echo of light colours. And that jacket is great on you. I also really like the sweater outfit -- very soft and pretty colours on you. And I LOVE the watch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-dressskinnies-the-formula-verticalhorizontal-stripes#post-836141 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:30:44 +0000 Adelfa 836141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you echo the white in the first outfit--scarf, shoes, jacket. The third outfit makes me smile. As for the second, I am finding wider leg pants harder and harder to wear. Especially with flats, my preferred shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-dressskinnies-the-formula-verticalhorizontal-stripes#post-836108 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:14:58 +0000 Anonymous 836108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your first look and the one with the sweater. They both look great on you. I love the idea of your second outfit, but I agree, something just isn't gelling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-wiws-dressskinnies-the-formula-verticalhorizontal-stripes#post-836094 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:01:05 +0000 Sarah A 836094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good Friday! </p> <p>1. Today I jumped on the dress over skinnies bandwagon. I have worn this DKNY dress like this before but not in a while and i really like it this way. This is the longest standing item in my closet! My sister gave it to me in 1998. Paired with my new white leather jacket, a vintage polka dot scarf (inspired by Ingunn) And my new oxfords. Happiness factor is super high. </p> <p>2-3. I wore this Tuesday. i love the top half but after seeing this pics am not happy with how these pants fit or the PPL I really liked taking the white tux shirt and dressing it down with the faded denim.</p> <p>4.-6. I wore this yesterday and it felt really fun and just a bit out of my confortzone. This shirt is sometimes challenging to style but i really felt fresh in the contrasting stripes. I felt like the rest of the outfit had enough going on that the bootcuts were a familiar friend. I made the necklace for myself last summer and finally found my white watch again (has been lost in a box since moving in Aug!)</p> <p>As always your feedback (especially on learning more about proportions) and favorites are appreciated! </p>
