I wouldn't change a thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-604582 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:58:36 +0000 lyn67 604582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both. I don't mind wrinkles at all when linen. Everybody knows! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-604448 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 02:25:15 +0000 Beth Ann 604448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shape of the top in #2, and it's easy, tonal feel. I like #1 as is. I see IK's point that the top and the bottom both have "star" quality, and you can certainly try other pairings, however the colors and shapes are quite pleasing to my eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-604405 Thu, 26 Apr 2012 01:23:51 +0000 cinnamon fern 604405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm ... I think you guys are right that #1 is too much going on with the skirt, jacket, and boots. It was 42 when I left the house this morning and got into the 70s, this time of year confuses me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-604189 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 21:52:36 +0000 ironkurtin 604189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love linen!</p> <p>#2 works great.</p> <p>For #1, I might go with a simpler top, because the linen skirt already has a lot of movement in it. With the jacket, I'd go for slim pants so the jacket can be the diva. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-604187 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 21:49:12 +0000 CocoLion 604187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2. I like the top and skirt in #1 but am getting stuck with the boots, I think my brain has moved to open footwear already... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-604178 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 21:42:53 +0000 rachylou 604178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-603998 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 18:08:37 +0000 Kiwichik 603998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Handkerchief hems are a winner in my book. Both looks are lovely &amp; can't wai to see what lse you do with the linen skirt As the weather warms up - I'm assuming you're moving from spring to summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-603944 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:23:58 +0000 catgirl 603944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first one with that sassy skirt and boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-603927 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:09:16 +0000 Anonymous 603927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these. The linen is beautiful (blouse in the second picture?) and the different silhouettes are fun. I like the blouse belted, it gives it a nice shape. I love the handkerchief hem of the skirt in the first outfit. The jacket you've chosen is just the thing to wear with a bright and funky skirt. And what a pretty smile you have. You must treat us to it more often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-603879 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:30:28 +0000 JennyAnne 603879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty! I don't see much wrinkling from here, but if its' linen or cotton, that just goes with the territory. I love the flowy silhouette. On the second one, I'd really like to see a bright belt to reallys tand out. I like the volume up top with the pencil skirt on the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-603876 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:28:33 +0000 celia 603876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfits!That skirt in #1 is seriously fun, the wrinkles totally work with it :)<br /> Have you tried it with a stiffer top as Angie was referring in her blog post? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-603858 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:18:35 +0000 Jjsloane 603858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love look #2 and think the belt is fine as is for a nice tonal neutral outfit and keeps it looking cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-603855 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:17:04 +0000 ManidipaM 603855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE that gorgeous skirt in #1 and how you've styled it with the more casual jacket!</p> <p>I think #2 looks great as-is. This is more casual and girly to my eye than a darker belt would be, which emphasizes the bombshell aspect of the hourglass silhouette in a pencil skirt more, I think, and ends up reading more 'polished' perhaps --- unless you went to town with a very feminine or craftsy belt with more than one colour, eyelet patterns, suede etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-603838 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:08:50 +0000 Angie 603838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice outfits! You have to make peace with the crease - which you do so well. </p> <p>Is there a linen component to outfit #2? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-couple-linen-wiws#post-603814 Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:37:03 +0000 cinnamon fern 603814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the first photo, I've only had the skirt on for an hour! Talk about wrinkles.</p> <p>Suggestions for improvement welcome! The second photo is with a pale yellow belt - not sure if something darker would be better. </p>
