The V-neck sweater would be a little bit masculine for me. The red coat is gorgeous, but you had me with the leather trousers with the white line. Gosh woman, what an absolute statement thing that is, a converstion starter and it looks superb on you. Wear it with confidence as you look so good in it. And no, this is not going to be everybody's taste. So what?<br /> Greetje </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sampling-of-winter-experiments/page/2#post-1777434 Sun, 12 Feb 2017 03:04:02 +0000 Jaime 1777434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b> I did go for your suggestion, see below .<br /><b>Sterling</b> interesting. I am not into crotch highlighting but didn't see these that way, will consider. Appreciate the thought and your kind words.<br /><b>Jenni NZ</b> I think you are on to something. I have reason to believe that my family left Spain for Riga, Latvia around Spanish Inquisition time. And we read that Madeline countless times in this house too. :)<br /><b>Vix</b> I always value your eye and your insight. I will take your color comments to heart. I also think the red jacket is a poor fit around the shoulder and will probably sell it but meanwhile it was a good stand in here. Not sure about the varsity sweater because I actually really love to wear it, but it is surely not my most slimming look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sampling-of-winter-experiments/page/2#post-1777294 Sat, 11 Feb 2017 17:29:01 +0000 Vix 1777294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Shevia --</p> <p>I think the reds and the brown (rose brown? chocolate?) look great on you.</p> <p>As always you look sparkling! </p> <p>But to me the fit on many of these is way off in the shoulder/arm area -- have you dropped in size lately and perhaps buying too large? The prep sweater and red jacket (and maybe the brown sweater, harder to tell from photo) have a lot of bulk there.&nbsp;</p> <p>Having once bought a skirt I loved with a pattern that worked out to create a bit of a "bullseye" at the crotch, I'm afraid I'm on the side of those who would personally pass. You wear them well, though, so if it doesn't bother you go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sampling-of-winter-experiments/page/2#post-1777098 Sat, 11 Feb 2017 03:57:21 +0000 Jenni NZ 1777098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS off topic, but when the kids were little and something was a bit off or they were ill, we had a habit of going around saying " something is not right, something is quite wrong ..." A quote from when Madeline got appendicitis ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sampling-of-winter-experiments/page/2#post-1777095 Sat, 11 Feb 2017 03:50:40 +0000 Jenni NZ 1777095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That Madeline reference is spot on. Adored those books. And the Bad Hat Pepito was the son of the Spanish ambassador! And your coat is actually Spanish! The "Rovira" name makes me think of roving, kind of like gypsy but not boho/ bohemian exactly. I think it's the hair and coat together that seem sort of gypsy. Carmen might appear to join you any minute, Spanish after all. Gypsy chic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sampling-of-winter-experiments#post-1776812 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 17:07:13 +0000 Anonymous 1776812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red coat on you.&nbsp; It is spectacular.&nbsp; </p> <p>I am not certain how I feel about the pants.&nbsp; The lines draw my eye to your crotch area.&nbsp;&nbsp;That would bother me a lot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sampling-of-winter-experiments#post-1776787 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 15:45:58 +0000 Angie 1776787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought I heard you mention something about your outfit last night, Jaime.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sampling-of-winter-experiments#post-1776669 Fri, 10 Feb 2017 04:40:20 +0000 Jaime 1776669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>jenanded</b> Any kind of polished is a great achievement for me - thank you!<br /><b>lyn67</b> red is in the air apparently. And I relate to time zone differences very well!<br /><b>Momo</b> you are too sweet! Thank you.<br /><b>Bijou</b> this might be the year of red for me.<br /><b>Cee</b> it is more that I am curious why some see the sweater as sporty or masculine and some don't - I don't have the association, but there are no sporty men in my family, I wonder if that is connected.<br /><b>Aubergine</b> thank you! I actually love how the border on the tee sort of matches my hair.<br /><b>Sara L.</b> you are right about the leather pants - the width does make them tricky, but I will take on the challenge :)&nbsp;<br /><b>RobinF</b> aha another theory about the sweater!<br /><b>SHANNON!</b> excuse my shout. I have really missed you!<br /><b>texstyle</b> thank you! brown is back on the table!<br /><b>Angie</b> that outfit with the cream was pure Angie channeling of course.

The coat and jacket are both beautiful and look great on you. I also like the leather pants, very funky. Not sure about the v-neck, I had one years ago (maybe in the 80's?) so can't help but think that when I see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sampling-of-winter-experiments#post-1776362 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 14:19:39 +0000 Sara L. 1776362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these. &nbsp;I don't see the sweater as masculine but there may be a cultural thing going on there. &nbsp;It seems some people associate those with cricket which isn't played in the US. &nbsp;I like both red coats and the white tee in #5. &nbsp;I'm not sure about the leather pants. &nbsp;The leg width looks a little wide. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sampling-of-winter-experiments#post-1776350 Thu, 09 Feb 2017 13:40:18 +0000 Anonymous 1776350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the red coat so much on you!

Interesting how polarizing the cricket sweater it and I still can't get over how popular my hair has become.<br /><b>Janet </b>- of course I don't mind the word adorable and it is quite fun for me, because adorable is not how I see myself at all. I actually have 'resting bitch face' in real life.&nbsp;<br /><b>Suz</b> your description sounds so delightful I want to become it! I wonder if I just lack the sporty associations that other people have with that sweater.<br /><b>Joy </b>I was thinking of cropping the pants and have no problem with wide crops, but I think I need to do some more experiments first.<br /><b>Angie</b> the red coat made me think of you the second I found it. And I tried it with your bright coat formula but the picture (added below) taken at night is even worse than the ones above.&nbsp;Elegant Thrown Together Girly Tomboy sound wonderful! It might be my brain that is the tomboy though.<br /><b>Emily K.</b> thanks! So brown works!<br /><b>Mirjana</b> thank you for the hair comment - I am sort of growing it right now so it is a bit confused.<br /><b>Approprio</b> suggestion noted. Always delighted to hear from you!<br /><b>Ledonna</b> hmm, you also have the sporty association. Thanks for the thrift appreciation - takes one to know one!<br /><b>SarahF</b> thanks! I thought the jacket looked to bunchy at the shoulders but maybe not?<br /><b>Brooklyn</b> the coat is literally from the 60s as far as I can tell. Might even be earlier. The sweater is so controversial! Interesting.<br /><b>Bonnie</b> thanks!<br /><b>Laurie</b> I used to be intimidated by boutiques too. And particularly boutiques in Paris or other foreign countries.&nbsp;<br /><b>Jaileen</b> thanks and glad my hair is still working as I let it grow a bit!<br /><b>L'Abeille</b> Madeline!

I walked past it 10 times and I even took a picture of it. It never occurred to me to go into the boutique, too intimidating.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sampling-of-winter-experiments#post-1776138 Wed, 08 Feb 2017 22:39:15 +0000 Bonnie 1776138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your outfits, love your hair, and think the pants are interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sampling-of-winter-experiments#post-1776127 Wed, 08 Feb 2017 22:10:44 +0000 Brooklyn 1776127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the red coat on you. It looks 60s influenced to me, but I don't have a name for it. Love the brown sweater and the leather pants too. Not wild about the cricket jumper but that's a personal thing, like pattern or print. You can definitely pull it off. And your hair looks so good, as usual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sampling-of-winter-experiments#post-1776120 Wed, 08 Feb 2017 21:58:16 +0000 Anonymous 1776120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in all of these outfits.
