I know what you mean about red pants, though - since I got my red jeans I think the only thing I've worn with them is plain black and plain charcoal grey. Something about stripes feels too gimmicky and navy is too patriotic. What about a chambray shirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-870070 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 12:49:29 +0000 rute 870070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love! So chic! Maybe you just need to get used to it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869944 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 04:19:02 +0000 Day Vies 869944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WAAAAAAAY too hard on yourself Vicki. 1, 2, and 3 are absolutely fabulous any of the shoes you selected would have been a great choice. I think #2 has a slight edge. I love the brogues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869688 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 02:02:43 +0000 Thistle 869688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #2. No mimery at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869684 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 02:01:28 +0000 JAileen 869684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the red pants, but not with the vest. You nailed it - it looks like a mime's uniform. But 1 and 2 look fine. I like 4 also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869669 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 01:56:52 +0000 Jaime 869669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue outfit you wore is stunning but I am very impressed with #2 with those shoes and belt adding an unexpected element to the red trousers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869662 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 01:53:34 +0000 Deborah 869662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red trousers Vicki, but I do get that the stripes can make this combo look a bit costumey. You have to feel good. The jeans outfit is so you though I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869654 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 01:49:09 +0000 Marley 869654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok - in my eye - the last outfit is perfect - absolutely perfect. The others are just too "too!" Hahahahahaha!<br /> Where is the blue shirt from? Love that color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869643 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 01:43:28 +0000 Angie 869643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's why you have to take the outfit happiness-factor seriously. The outfits with the red trousers look fab - but they don't feel fab. Your facial expression and body language says it all in pic #4.</p> <p>KILLER </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869263 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:12:24 +0000 catgirl 869263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see that first outfit as you - it's too classic without the Vicki twist o' fun! There's nothing wrong with it, of course. I'm not a huge fan of this uber-prep look in general, though. I can see Jessica Quirk in it, though. Love your second outfit and you look much happier! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869230 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 19:52:49 +0000 Vicki 869230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your compliment made me smile, merwoman! Thank you. MaryK, that's a fab idea and Rae, please don't let my "mistakes" stop you as you would look so good in red pants. Take a look at AJ's Pinterest links above to get the right idea. I have a navy striped jacket on now and have to go somewhere tonight and will either keep it, adding a scarf or change out to a leather jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869225 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 19:51:41 +0000 rachylou 869225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're all excellent! No *meems" in sight! I do particularly like the red shoes with the red pants and the vest.</p> <p>I will say #1 is a "gin and saltines" outfit, but I'm into that personally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869224 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 19:49:30 +0000 cciele 869224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your last outfit does seem very you :)</p> <p>For the red pants, have you thought of a simple turquoise top? Or if you want to go brights, orange or pink </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869220 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 19:46:51 +0000 Suz 869220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, I think you look fab in all of these, but I also see the issue. I'd feel the same. It's not how it looks. It's how it FEELS. The last outfit feels much more "you" (and you look stunning!) </p> <p>I agree with Rae -- maybe simplify. Maybe no pattern up top if wearing the red trousers - the pattern only from belt and shoes or bag? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869205 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 19:29:15 +0000 rae 869205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I see what you are saying here. The outfit you wore does feel more like you. Maybe the pants make a big enough statement on their own that a more plain blouse is in order. Cream? Chambray? Blush?</p> <p>ETA: this is coming from someone who does not own red pants. I was debating ordering some just this morning, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869181 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 19:02:35 +0000 MsMary 869181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd add some yellow -- either a scarf, a necklace, or maybe shoes. Don't you have a pair of yellow Cons? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869139 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:35:09 +0000 merwoman 869139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki - your clothes fit to perfection! What a beautiful figure you have!<br /> Think I like 2 slightly more than 1 - seems a bit less contrast between pant and footwear. Not a fan of red shoes red pants, pic 4 is awesome.<br /> Hmm...wondering about a black leather moto instead of black or navy blazer...bet you've got one in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869130 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:31:14 +0000 Vicki 869130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, I feel so much better, now that you've given and shared your guidance. I'm off to Roberta Roller Rabbit, at Fashion Island, to look at their tops (why did a friend come by in such a cute one!). Thanks again and hugs of love and peace to each of you! ^_^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869123 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:26:58 +0000 Tina.b 869123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fantastic in the red pants and all the variations with the striped top. But I totally know what you mean, because I have the same exact feeling every time I break out the red pants. I occasionally pair them with a navy blouse with large polka dots and I think it is the same effect as this. I feel unlike myself in it (it's almost too literal), but that is one of my most complimented outfits.</p> <p>I love you in the blue blouse and jeans. I think I really see "you" in that photo where I see the clothes in the others. But you look beautiful and stylish in all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869116 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:17:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 869116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well my hubby happens to think mimes are sexy - lol!</p> <p>I really like #1 and #2 and if you swapped out the footwear in #3 to your python booties, would love that one too! </p> <p>But your shirt and jeans look is equally fabulous and you gotta go with what feels right at the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869112 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:15:21 +0000 AJ 869112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Luv that blue on you, Vicki! You look effortlessly stylish and chic. Have a great day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869104 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:08:39 +0000 Vicki 869104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tips, ladies, and, AJ, your Pinterest links will really help when I go for it again!

I don't think you look like a mime, but I understand where your head was at.

Did you see amiable's posts on red jeans--a darker red, though.</p> <p>What if you tried a darker solid top, more tonal, something like charcoal, ink, a dark-on-dark print, and see if that helps. The pants have a lot of personality so don't need as much in the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869075 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 17:49:48 +0000 Vicki 869075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just tried to delete the post and I couldn't. I'm wearing jeans and a top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confused-in-calif-tmgo#post-869072 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 17:46:22 +0000 sarah 869072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both 1 and 2 a lot. I'm not so taken with the all red on the bottom. Great looks! </p>
