I would just carry it or wear it on my shoulder. I like to have that hands free option. I haven't decided about it yet. The soft silver metallic drew me to it as a hard color to find right now...not really shiny. It is very inexpensive but seems well made. Not an investment bag.<br /> Lantana, thank you. Now to get it done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1227177 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 12:52:52 +0000 Jjsloane 1227177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love # 1 on you for sure. I think the black pants are worth trying to alter - I like Aida's suggestion.&nbsp;<br />The bag is nice, but it does seem big for your frame - is it heavy? Can you wear it over your shoulder (and would you?) I find that I love the look of arm handle bags, but much prefer to be able to wear it on my shoulder.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1227055 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 05:25:23 +0000 Lantana 1227055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the drape of those silk pants and think Aida is on to the right solution.<br />You look brilliant in those navies and neutrals Joy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1226987 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 02:28:56 +0000 Anonymous 1226987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, that's a great idea. I wondered if a tailor could form cuffs from some of the fabric but your idea would be easier.<br /> Thank you all for your encouraging comments. They help so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1226950 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 01:55:51 +0000 Aida 1226950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I adore the first look, Joy! SO FAB. I see what Angie does about the pants in the second; I wonder if maybe you could add&nbsp;a stretchy cuff so you could pull them up higher on your calf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1226793 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 22:37:38 +0000 rachylou 1226793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet!

What a great idea to reverse the colorway. I like #2 a lot, too, and Angie's suggestion sounds very interesting. You are such an inspiration, Joy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1226737 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 21:20:20 +0000 Sharon 1226737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another fan of #1. Reversing the formula works beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1226695 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 20:08:56 +0000 April 1226695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Applause!</p> <p>And no, I don't think the bag is too big for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1226693 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 20:03:11 +0000 kellygirl 1226693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for 1/2.

Wow you nailed in both these outfits but I particularly like the first one - wish I could copy - hmmm must check wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1226551 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 17:02:26 +0000 Anonymous 1226551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black silk pants are EF that are now too big for me. I'm considering having them altered but wonder how much volume to leave. As is, the hems don't stay rolled so need to be tacked up or cut off. Full length, they just hit the ankle, a bit longer if the waistband sits on my hips. This also results in dropped crotch. I need to find a tailor that can communicate in English and knows what current style looks like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1226532 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:47:41 +0000 kkards 1226532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like them both, but #1/2 is my fav. love how you flipped the light/dark! <br />i think the bag looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1226529 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:45:57 +0000 Angie 1226529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1. Wow. You nailed it, Joy.&nbsp;</p> <p>The fit of the black pants&nbsp;seems a little off unless you roll the hems and go for &nbsp;modern slouch. Hope that makes sense. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1226522 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:37:02 +0000 Helena 1226522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome! The power of classics right there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/angies-trendy-casual-classic-ensemble-2-ways#post-1226503 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 16:26:05 +0000 Anonymous 1226503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I couldn't wait to try Angie's ensemble for my casual day. I found that I don't have much light denim so reversed the formula with light denim bottoms and black jacket (1/2). Photos (3/4) are using silk baggy pants and my most faded jacket. I am doubtful that these pants are working but my black skinny jeans are in the wash.<br /> I welcome your comments and help to tweak the formula. Also, the bag in 2 is a K/R, a big lightweight for summer. Is it too big for me? </p>
