Thank you . I highly value your opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519593 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 12:54:03 +0000 Anonymous 1519593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kerlyn (spell check wants to name you Merlyn), Nebraskim, Unfrumped, Jenn, Wordlily, Rachylou, Brooklyn, ecteacher0000, and Shevia, knowing your preferences and least liked is very helpful.<br /> Unfrumped, I had not noticed warmer tones vs cool ones and will pay attention now. I usually try to wear warm or warmer versions of cool tones on top.<br /> Jenn, you may be onto something in your comment about the chambray shirt. I've not reached for it as often as I thought I would. The buttondowns that I wear most are silky and soft. I need a silky feminine chambray shirt! Thank you for pointing this out.<br /> Ecteacher0000, RATE means Rough Around The Edges, sort of an opposite of polished.<br /> Brooklyn, dark brown is not popular right now. A light bulb went off when you mentioned that to you it looks dated. I'd not thought of that. I wondered if the cold shoulder style is also dated, although it never became common in this area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519591 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 12:51:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1519591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Shevia - I think these all look good and just show how versatile those brown capri pants are going to be in your summer wardrobe. I have a particular fondness for the citron and blue pairings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519581 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 12:22:58 +0000 Jaime 1519581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly these all look terrific - I especially like the blue ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519507 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 05:44:09 +0000 VioletMyra 1519507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In order for me 6, 10, 11. I know, I know . . . I understand all the comments against 11 but I really like it . . .<br /> Best wishes.</p> <p>PS: Sorry, I need educating again: can someone please tell me what the acronym RATE is? Thanks so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519506 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 05:40:24 +0000 Brooklyn 1519506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not as keen on no 6 - maybe because there is a little too much brown for my liking. I love brown (and miss it greatly) but to my eye when an outfit has too much brown it starts to look dated. I would prefer that top with a lighter bottom or denim. I really like no 1 and 2 but I think no 2 would be better with different shoes. Something brighter to tie in better with the top. The top makes the shoes look dirty. I also like no 8 (the asymmetric top makes the brown look current) and no 10 (just because it makes you look fab). By the way I did not get a chance to respond to your post yesterday but I really like your missoni-esque brown bag. That's a keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519503 Tue, 14 Jul 2015 05:33:52 +0000 rachylou 1519503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3 and 6 are fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519384 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 23:39:21 +0000 Word Lily 1519384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like 1, 2, 4, 6. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519328 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 21:28:39 +0000 Jenn 1519328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 looks amazing. I also like the citron, the pink tee, the cobalt, and asymmetric black. I want to like the chambray, but I think the look may be too RATE for your more polished persona. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519322 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 21:17:55 +0000 unfrumped 1519322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are 1, 3 and 6. I'm really liking the&nbsp;warmer top&nbsp;tones with the brown even though technically it can run more neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519304 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 20:38:34 +0000 Nebraskim 1519304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 6 and 1-5. My least faves are the white shirt, 7, 8, 9 and 12, although it could be the cut of the chambray I'm not liking. Six is a winner for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519263 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 19:21:07 +0000 kerlyn 1519263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Maneera and Diane, #6 is perfect! Love the orange with brown. And #4 works really well too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519258 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 19:12:04 +0000 Anonymous 1519258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane, I meant to mention that 1 uses your rubber band trick. It needed something to reign in the volume. The pink top in 5 is more fitted and harder to style without a topper. I agree that 4 works better. Thank you for your comments and trick.<br /> Maneera, thank you for your detailed post...so helpful. I need a new chambray shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519235 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 18:36:44 +0000 Anonymous 1519235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#6 is my favourite, followed by #1 and #3. I like the colour of the chambray shirts with the pants, but not the shirts style&nbsp;as&nbsp;much. I also really like both shape and colour of the pink top in #4 as I think the length and shape works better than the one in&nbsp; #5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519217 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 17:43:13 +0000 Maneera 1519217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of these are good options for Summer. None of them are bad....they all work. The ones I like best are:</p> <p>1. The 1-2 citron options. Both really look great. </p> <p>6. I believe brown and orange are a match made in heaven. I love this outfit the most. </p> <p>10. You look absolutely stunning in that cobalt blue top. With a neutral base, the top shines and so do you. </p> <p>I'm not particularly fond of the chambray shirt combination. It's a good pairing in itself, it just looks less 'You'. The look is too casual and doesn't fit with your overall style that's a little more polished, feminine and classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/chocolate-capri-pant-styling-take-2#post-1519202 Mon, 13 Jul 2015 17:15:46 +0000 Anonymous 1519202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I played in the closet and tried on mostly sleeveless tops with the new brown capri pants, trying to use suggestions from the first post.<br /> 1-3: citron or gold<br /> 4-6: bright pink or orange. 6. is an old VC cold shoulder top that has some brown stripes.<br /> 7 is white<br /> 8-9: black EF tops in linen and silk<br /> 10-12: blue. 10 is EF linen. 11 is Martin+Osa linen. 12 was plucked from the ironing pile. It is my chambray shirt (BR) that now seems too fitted.<br /> I'm sorry that I've yet to make custom finds for most of these.<br /> I would love to know what you like and what you don't. </p>
