I've had this picture for sooo long, I SO badly want to put that outfit together </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-something-like-this#post-132924 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:03:55 +0000 Vani 132924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, You are so right. I have all these questions in my head but haven't had the time to experiment and take pictures lately. I just wanted to get the question out here before I forgot :-)</p> <p>shana, I know! I really want a white blazer like that. I've been hunting for ages. It's funny how zoned on certain items I have become since YLF - white blazer, red blazer, brogues etc. It's like I have tunnel vision, LOL.</p> <p>AJ, that's a great idea about subbing the light moto jacket. The distressing doesn't bother me but I won't be seeking out a pair with distressing. Hmm, I actually started off looking for a white/off white pair of brogues when the spectator brogues (which I'm still bidding for on ebay) compeltelyt distracted me.</p> <p>Ele, You're right, I've been studying the picture and those jeans seem more slim bootcut. I'm more wary of the cuffing I think, you know big thighs and stumping and all I guess, like Sarah said, I won't know till I try. UO and ASOS seem to have a good selection of brogues right now. And don't forget Etsy. They have some great, authentic vintage brogues and oxfords there now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-something-like-this#post-132921 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:59:29 +0000 marianne 132921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vani, I can SO see you in this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-something-like-this#post-132919 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:56:23 +0000 Ele 132919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vani, I totally think you can and here's why: to me, those aren't BF jeans at ALL. They look like a pair of ripped but relatively slim-fitting bootcuts that have been rolled up. I don't think subtracting the rips and the cuffs will make that much of a difference to the overall look. You'll look great! </p> <p>I'm after a pair of tan brogues for this look, actually. (And I'm only 1" taller than you.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-something-like-this#post-132912 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:49:29 +0000 AJ 132912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm already picturing your light moto jacket to sub for the inspo jacket. Do you want distressed jeans like those? If you did the straight leg jeans, would you cuff the hem? Maybe if you got some lighter pair of brogues it wouldn't make you look stumpy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-something-like-this#post-132911 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:47:31 +0000 shana 132911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know the answer to your question but I LOVE that white blazer - so chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-something-like-this#post-132905 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:39:45 +0000 Sarah 132905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that look. When Angie blogged about boyfriend jeans I was one of those "love them but they dont' love me back" crowd.<br /> The only way to know is if you try. I'd love to see it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-pull-off-something-like-this#post-132904 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:38:25 +0000 Vani 132904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At 5'1" and 8/10, I know it will be hard to get all the proportions right for an outfit like <a href="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/vmmpics/LookBook/img_9554.jpg">this</a>. I'm all over the BF jeans + brogues look but I know it will be very hard for me to pull it off. Can I retain the whole vibe while subbing the BF jeans with straight leg jeans? </p>
