They are fun, summery and would go with a lot. I'm not a fan of animal print myself. They last pair aren't bad, but still seem more of a cold weather shoe to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beginner-feedback-please#post-6923 Wed, 14 May 2008 03:03:58 +0000 Ola 6923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie. It is the same jeans in both pictures. They're a flared style from Bluenotes, which is a jeans store here, not sure if they are in the US too.</p> <p>Nicole, I will have a look around in some local stores, probably this weekend, to see what's available. Sounds like a more colourful pair like the second one I posted would go with many different outfits, so I'll see if I can find something similar. The sneakers I already have, but they're good for a lot of walking (gotta love gel insoles!) so I'm sure I'll still wear them on more casual/sporty outings.</p> <p>Oh, I almost forgot. I wanted to ask about necklace suggestions too - what do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beginner-feedback-please#post-6893 Wed, 14 May 2008 01:00:06 +0000 Angie 6893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting pics Ola. I have few questions:<br /> o are you wearing the same jeans in both pictures?<br /> o what brand and cut are you wearing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beginner-feedback-please#post-6877 Tue, 13 May 2008 20:42:27 +0000 Nicole 6877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, I think your clothes fit you well, and you have a good basic outline going on. You just need to take it up a notch with color and accessories. I'm a big fan of necklaces, and think they can make a blah outfit look a thousand times better. You don't need alot of them either. The first outfit with the olive jacket is a great cut and fit--but it would look even better with a colorful top. Citron and olive work really well together (Ana has a great photo of that combo). Red does too.</p> <p>As for the shoes...I think the first pair look wintery because of the quilting. That could just be my perspective though. I love the second pair--and they would go with a lot of different looks. I like the last pair--you can never go wrong with animal print, so long as you keep it to one piece per outfit.</p> <p>Edit: Pass on the sneaker style shoes you posted from Famous Footwear. They will really detract from your overall polished look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beginner-feedback-please#post-6876 Tue, 13 May 2008 20:32:28 +0000 Ola 6876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Should the top be longer than the jacket, or just longer than it currently is? Maybe these are shorter on me because I'm tall, I'm not sure, but I will check some stores this weekend to see if I can find some that are better.</p> <p>With the flats, since I'm only planning to get one pair, I want them to be versatile, you know? I'm not very adventurous in the shoe department but I don't want to be too boring. Would dark coloured flats be too warm for the summer? You don't wear socks with them, right? Do they get sweaty? I know, so many questions!</p> <p>How about a pair like this?<br /> <a href="http://canada.zappos.com/n/p/dp/27983502/c/125336.html" rel="nofollow">http://canada.zappos.com/n/p/d.....25336.html</a><br /> (I have a weak spot for red or maybe the dark brown?)</p> <p>Or something with more colour, but could I wear it with a lot of different things?<br /> <a href="http://canada.zappos.com/n/p/dp/27983502/c/132277.html" rel="nofollow">http://canada.zappos.com/n/p/d.....32277.html</a></p> <p>And I've been reading posts about animal/giraffe prints, which look cute:<br /> <a href="http://canada.zappos.com/n/p/dp/24325793/c/139545.html" rel="nofollow">http://canada.zappos.com/n/p/d.....39545.html</a></p> <p>Have I mentioned I'm indecisive? I definitely think nicer shoes will smarten up the whole look, so I think I'll put those at the top of the list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beginner-feedback-please#post-6854 Tue, 13 May 2008 19:28:10 +0000 Ana 6854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have any foot issues, Ola? I know of a couple of nice flats that would work well for summer. I have my eye on these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/39292262/c/132100/g/women/s/7.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/3.....n/s/7.html</a></p> <p>These are nice too (they ran out of my size):</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/32413339/c/935.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/32413339/c/935.html</a></p> <p>I've heard good things about this one as well:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7369599.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/n/p/p/7369599.html</a></p> <p>I would take a pass on the tennis shoes, and I agree with Shannon's suggestions as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beginner-feedback-please#post-6853 Tue, 13 May 2008 19:25:37 +0000 Ola 6853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shannon!</p> <p>I'm afraid I'd rather un-stylish with my shoe choices, I go for comfort first. I would probably wear these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.famousfootwear.com/productimages/ff_ia51379.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.famousfootwear.com/.....a51379.jpg</a></p> <p>That said, I'm hoping to get a couple new pairs of shoes this summer (I was thinking of a pair of flats and a pair of sandals) so suggestions are welcome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beginner-feedback-please#post-6848 Tue, 13 May 2008 18:56:28 +0000 shannon 6848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second outfit with the white jacket. Both outfits might look better with a longer top under the jackets. The brown jacket would look nice with a more colorful top. I do really like the way both jackets fit you though. They are both cute too! So what shoes would you be wearing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/beginner-feedback-please#post-6839 Tue, 13 May 2008 17:45:09 +0000 Ola 6839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As suggested in another post, I took a couple of photos of my outfits this morning. Please ignore the wet hair, I had just gotten out of the shower. ;)</p> <p>I'm not wearing any shoes in these either, oops! May have to get DH to take the photos, cause I think the angled mirror and my arm in the air is changing things a bit.</p> <p>In case it asks for a password: fab2008</p> <p><a href="http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii271/odrozd/you%20look%20fab/DSCF1745.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i266.photobucket.com/al.....CF1745.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii271/odrozd/you%20look%20fab/DSCF1749-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i266.photobucket.com/al.....1749-1.jpg</a></p> <p>Your feedback is appreciated! </p>
