I particularly like the second look due to the drapey/fuller pants and tucked in top - so insouciant! I also think that the white sneakers bookend with your hair very nicely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176606 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 15:56:56 +0000 Angie 2176606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>L'Abeille, </b>I'm humbled! And let's hope Spring sneaks up on us sooner </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176519 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 03:33:13 +0000 L'Abeille 2176519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your encouragement, everyone!</p> <p>Robin, you are safe. I'm in New Brunswick; our weather comes from you in the west and our storms up the Atlantic coast.</p> <p>Rachy and Helena, yes, they are happy colours aren't they? I've been doing Black or Black Plus One all January and February, and I am more than ready for a change.</p> <p>Shevia, I was iffy about the velcro when I bought these sneakers, but they nicely exaggerate the chunkiness, don't they?</p> <p>Viva, I have been more used to crops and ankle pants of late too. Long pants like this are very demanding of the right heel height, and I'm having to relearn how to do it.</p> <p>Thanks Cat2! I almost missed this sweater while thrifting, until I checked the men's department (J.G.Hook).</p> <p>Angie, yes, real spring is very far away yet. You have been a huge inspiration and role model in rocking sneakers with more formal outfits.</p> <p>Kkards and LaPed, I am building a stable of winter-warm sweaters in spring-like colours and this is the latest addition.</p> <p>Suntiger, no worries, the snow will last through April and we've even had snow in June. I'm only hoping to get one short ski trip in before it disappears. Until next Sunday night our province has been closed to travel between zones, and sadly mine has no ski hills.</p> <p>Donna, you're right! I rarely wore white footwear as a brunette, and never outside of summer.</p> <p>Smittie, these trousers are so Katherine Hepburn. I stuck with them through all the low-rise years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176497 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 02:01:51 +0000 smittie 2176497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red pants are super! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176395 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 19:59:00 +0000 LaPed 2176395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a perfect spring (or fake spring) sweater! And I love the drapey pants/chunky sneakers combo -- very modern to my eye.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176360 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 18:28:08 +0000 DonnaF 2176360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so fortunate that white sneakers bookend your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176353 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 18:07:01 +0000 Anonymous 2176353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 most too!

Love them with the white sneakers, looks so fresh.<br />and the striped sweater is just the thing to bridge that time when you want to dress for spring but the weather still says winter&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176345 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 17:46:16 +0000 Angie 2176345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(I'm laughing at the Canadian teaser fake Spring! We know all about that in Seattle. June can be awful here...)</p> <p>#2 works in a very 2021 way. Well done! Cheers to happy feet. Very cute '40s drapey pants. Sneakers = Absolutley.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176327 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 16:11:13 +0000 cat2 2176327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sweater! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176319 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 15:36:04 +0000 viva 2176319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look in #2! I really want to do that. Sadly, I got rid of all my long trousers years ago, but I am on the hunt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176317 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 15:29:44 +0000 Helena 2176317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for a lighten up palette and the promise of spring! I love the colour block effect in outfit 2. Yay for shoes that are on trend AND make our feet happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176314 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 15:22:55 +0000 rachylou 2176314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy clothes!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176303 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 13:55:15 +0000 Jaime 2176303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chunky white sneakers are perfect on you with both outfits. Both work for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176296 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 13:33:12 +0000 RobinF 2176296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh, where are you that you are getting snow? Hope it's not on its way here to Michigan :)</p> <p>Cute sweater with navy pants and sneakers - I like it. Loving the drapey red pants too. I think it works great with sneakers, very modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fake-spring-and-fake-cool-girl-look#post-2176290 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 12:08:24 +0000 L'Abeille 2176290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. Inspired by Runcarla and Torontogirl, I forsook my winter blacks and donned a striped sweater (although warm and chunky) and bright navy skinnies. Although I wore boots to the office and changed into these shoes later, I forgot to change back and wore the sneakers out in the world to run some errands. Fortunately the pavement and gravel were not too icy or muddy or wet... although fresh snow is falling again now. </p> <p>2. I've always admired the look of a pantsuit or drapey trousers worn with big white sneakers but couldn't imagine myself wearing it in real life. Cue yesterday, with my (warm lined) red pants and paisley bowtie blouse. For some reason my fussy feet objected to all the loafers and flats that I keep all the office, but I came across these sneakers and they made my feet happy. Does the look work? </p>
