My eye is just not used to navy bottoms (except for denim) with colored tops and no white or cream. I think my eye was also preset for a black white and red combo for the other skirt. My metallic sandals are too casual for these outfits but I will keep an eye out for a good option. I should have taken a picture of the blouse unbelted. It is very A shaped but I think it worked well enough to wear. Would it be okay to tuck it into jeans/clams? I've also got some navy pinstriped high waisted pants I could tuck it into. </p> <p>Ana, I saw the blouse at jcrew.com in the sale section but it was sold out so I did a search on ebay and found it. It is definitely your favorite color; I know I'm going to think of you every time I wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20252 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 14:50:14 +0000 Sarah 20252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It gets a 10 from me, for sure. What a lovely color on you. Hm, I'm not sure I've seen a color on you that *hasn't* looked great.<br /> I like that firey color orange with metallics. Do you have some silver sandals or wedges? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20250 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 14:45:22 +0000 Becky 20250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, Patience! I give the first skirt combo a 9.5 and the second an 8.5. This color is fabulous on you and looks absolutely great tucked with pencil skirts. For fall could you pair it with gray or brown and a cardi? As you said, the top isn't long enough to belt as in the last pic, but do give the skinny/clams combo a try before giving it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20243 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 14:35:42 +0000 Dani 20243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Patience, definitely a 9 for both skirt outfits. As others have said, try a skinny belt or voluminous over your clams or skinny jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20224 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:14:09 +0000 Sihaya 20224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A 10 for both skirt outfits - love top and bottoms. Fantastic. And agree with others about unbelted with clams. Way to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20223 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:10:28 +0000 Anonymous 20223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>9+ with the skirts! With the clam diggers would a narrow belt work better?<br /> The color is 10 on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20219 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:29:10 +0000 Nicole 20219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I give both skirt outfits a 9/10. The blouse looks great with those skirts and the color is unbeleivable on your dark skin! </p> <p>As for the shirt belted with the jeans...I agree that it does not look quite right, but I think that may be in part to it being a different look that I'm just not used to. Angie did blog recently about peplum style jackets coming back into style. I realize it's not a true peplum, because it's created with a belt, but the tiny waist and flounce it creates reminds me of an exaggerated peplum shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20212 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 04:37:36 +0000 Alecia 20212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just LOVE that color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20209 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 04:27:49 +0000 Angie 20209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic colour! It looks beautiful. So nice to see you in a hot colour for a change. </p> <p>The first two outfits score 9. Try it voluminous over clamdiggers. I’m curious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20197 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 03:55:45 +0000 amy29 20197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the above--the color, fit, style of the first two are fantastic. 10! For the last, I agree with your instincts. It just doesn't work belted in that photo. Maybe as a layering piece, as Ana suggests, would allow you to wear it with clamdiggers. </p> <p>Love the skirts, too! Great looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20193 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 03:41:18 +0000 Ana 20193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is that the silk Elizabeth halter from J. Crew? I love that blouse on you, and the orangey red is fantastic! Where did you find the color? The first two outfits look great. I also can't belt my blouse without putting a longer cardi or something over it. Have you tried tucking it into pants/clamdiggers and wearing a belt through the belt loops? That might be nice. How does it look when you don't belt it or tuck it in? </p> <p>Shows off your beautiful shoulders and skin tone, plus the color is out of your box. Seeing it on you makes me want to wear mine tomorrow! </p> <p>CRS: 10 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20190 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 03:11:00 +0000 Anonymous 20190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blouse too. It is a beautiful color-better than red. It looks amazing with the skirts. Your shoulder line is something to show off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20189 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 03:08:53 +0000 shell 20189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love it in the first two outfits! so nice to see you smile :)</p> <p>i'm not sure it really works with the belt over jeans - youre right that it might work unbelted. you could also try it with a cardigan over it - it might balance it out a little more over the jeans. love the blouse tho - im contemplating it for myself, actually </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20187 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 03:05:23 +0000 Tanya 20187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Patience, the blouse looks amazing with pencil skirts. I'd give them both 9.5!</p> <p>I think that you are right about belting, it looks kind of strange. As for shoes, metallic comes to my mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-color-combo-work#post-20184 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 02:56:36 +0000 Patience 20184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this blouse for tucking into pencil skirts. I was hoping it would be more red but it is definitely orange. So does it work with the two skirts I wanted to wear it with? Please use CRS.</p> <p>Black and white skirt:<br /> <a href="http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk269/platoscat/fit08/IMG_0676.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i282.photobucket.com/al.....G_0676.jpg</a></p> <p>Navy skirt<br /> <a href="http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk269/platoscat/fit08/IMG_0680.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i282.photobucket.com/al.....G_0680.jpg</a></p> <p>Also, I don't think this blouse can be belted with jeans because it's just too short:<br /> <a href="http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk269/platoscat/fit08/IMG_0673.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i282.photobucket.com/al.....G_0673.jpg</a></p> <p>I could *maybe* get away with wearing it unbelted. Any other ideas for what I could wear it with, tucked in? And what color shoes would work? </p>
