Looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2057092 Sun, 01 Sep 2019 01:06:47 +0000 cindysmith 2057092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It totally works for me, and I like the darker shoes with it. It feels effortless and chic to my eyes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2057037 Sat, 31 Aug 2019 16:09:38 +0000 rachylou 2057037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like! Also prefer the darker shoes. They’ve got a little funk, which I think fits with the mix of materials. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2057020 Sat, 31 Aug 2019 15:09:35 +0000 Anonymous 2057020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a Hit. I like both shoes. The darker with the belt and lighter with the delicate skirt and more tonal, if you go that direction. The shirt seems very blue in the photo. Maybe a light grey-blue chambray? Some fun texture mixing here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2057016 Sat, 31 Aug 2019 15:05:16 +0000 Angie 2057016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super duper. And what Bonnie said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2056956 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 23:59:19 +0000 hereforthecake 2056956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look! And the darker shoes suit it so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2056917 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 20:52:06 +0000 Suz 2056917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it works! Fun juxtaposition. I like the darker shoes. I might also try a different top (although I like this colour with the other -- I mean for variety). And...how about belting on top, i.e. closing the jacket and wearing the belt on the outside? Would that work? A sort of safari inspired look... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2056915 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 20:39:29 +0000 Jenni NZ 2056915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the darker shoes and all the rest except the top, needs to tone better- agreeing with Lisap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2056885 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 18:44:26 +0000 Elizabeth P 2056885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the skirt and jacket together.&nbsp; The colour in the top is a bit too saturated though.&nbsp; I like Lisa's idea of a tonal one.&nbsp; Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2056884 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 18:20:29 +0000 Kim M 2056884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!&nbsp; I prefer the darker shoes, too.&nbsp; I'm glad there's no issue with the mismatched fabrics.&nbsp; I'll try some different tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2056874 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 17:48:30 +0000 JAileen 2056874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this a lot. I prefer the darker shoes, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2056849 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 16:01:59 +0000 Bonnie 2056849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, too. Both shoes work but the darker ones pick up the color of your belt and hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2056848 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 16:01:45 +0000 missvee 2056848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the darker shoes with the belt, and I think the lighter shoes would look great too with a lighter coloured top. This is a great silhouette for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2056844 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 15:31:40 +0000 Anonymous 2056844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the darker footwear and I might switch out the chambray top for something a little more fitted , and either in a tonal colour ( to tie in the belt and shoes ) or perhaps a print . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2056842 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 15:29:51 +0000 Jenn 2056842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a hit for me. And ditto what Barbara Diane said on the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2056838 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 15:04:30 +0000 Barbara Diane 2056838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! I prefer the darker shoes but both work. Booties are another possibility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabric-mismatch#post-2056836 Fri, 30 Aug 2019 15:00:01 +0000 Kim M 2056836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While not a blazer cut, I want to get more use out of this linen Eileen Fisher long jacket.&nbsp; I haven't worn the tulle Garnet Hill skirt, yet.&nbsp; I added chambray as an equalizer.&nbsp; Do you think this is a hit or miss?&nbsp; I'm wondering if the fabrics are just too different.&nbsp; If it works, what style shoes?&nbsp; Thanks for your input! </p>
