I wonder why I stopped ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1172198 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 04:20:31 +0000 Thistle 1172198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! Love the green on you, and the waistcoat is a perfect fit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1172180 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 04:01:19 +0000 Suz 1172180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It IS quite interesting how well these gentlemanly or dandyish looks work on you, isn't it. It would be fun to try to tease out the reasons. Not that I can, you understand. But I will think on it. I do think your colouring is part of it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1172179 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 03:59:54 +0000 Suz 1172179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!! I just love #1 on you. The green is so gorgeous for your colouring but it's also quite an inspired pairing with the vest and booties -- you look sensational!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1172057 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 01:31:47 +0000 JAileen 1172057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great. I like how the vest works with the necklace and the top. The colors really work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1171979 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 23:11:55 +0000 Sarah A 1171979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really love you #1 too. I can see why you are liking the menswear inspirations Interesting to see your reflection that the blue top outfit previously would have thrilled you but you are a bit less excited about it now... (I think MANY of us have experienced the same subtle style shifts as we have tried to hone our personal styles and "eyes") </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1171955 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 22:55:34 +0000 Anonymous 1171955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look in 1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1171949 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 22:52:24 +0000 Sona 1171949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you are too cool for school!</p> <p>love it.</p> <p>:)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1171927 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 22:35:38 +0000 Angie 1171927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is am&nbsp;11 out of 10. Beautifully done. Those BF jeans are an excellent fit and the waistcoat is a flatting fit. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1171919 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 22:26:27 +0000 Ornella 1171919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these gentlemanly looks on you too :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1171852 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 21:24:01 +0000 annagybe 1171852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicely done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1171832 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 20:57:02 +0000 rabbit 1171832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>like the first outfit with the gray book-ending and natty vest, and&nbsp;the blue on you in the second is really smashing. &nbsp;To my eye personally I prefer the pairing of&nbsp;necklace with the second outfit. &nbsp;Something about the long multi-colored&nbsp;necklace between the vee of the vest in the first&nbsp;distracts me a little bit - but that might be just my lack of&nbsp;experience with jewelry/accessories.</p> <p>Definitely keep wearing deep blues and greens! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1171824 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 20:51:57 +0000 E 1171824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock a vest/waistcoat. No wonder they please you! They add a bit of extra structure to your boho leanings too.&nbsp;(Have you tried one with a skirt yet? Just curious!)&nbsp;Love the whole outfit, right down to the chunky heels on the boots.</p> <p>I love the colours &amp; accessories (and the casual vs dressy juxtaposition they provide)&nbsp;of your other outfit too, but you're right that it's somehow lacking a bit of the magic of the green one. Didn't Angie do a post on ways to add structure to an outfit? Found <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/04/30/how-to-add-structure-to-an-unstructured-outfit/">it</a>! You're scrunching your sleeves already, maybe a semituck &amp; belt?</p> <p>Or, could it be that you prefer dressing with a contrasting top &amp; bottom vs column of colour? This is a big one for me: when I'm dressed in the exact same colour (usually a neutral) from head to toe I never feel as good as when I'm broken up, even just a bit (despite conventional advice to petites to use columns of colours to look taller) by say a darker grey and medium grey vs 2 dark greys.</p> <p>Just throwing out suggestions in case they help, not because you really need them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1171815 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 20:43:48 +0000 adorkable 1171815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! The green and blue are both great colors on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1171780 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:54:07 +0000 PamelaK 1171780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too. The outfit has a nice touch of gentlemanly pizazz! I can see why you are attracted to these kind of outfits - they suit you (sorry- can't leave a good pun alone).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1171771 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:44:33 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1171771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the green with the vest and the bookending with the boots... great earrings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gentlemanly-in-green#post-1171762 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:37:59 +0000 MuseumGal 1171762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taking a dissertation break to post this because I'm so pleased with today's outfit.&nbsp; I actually pulled this green T out of the Goodwill pile after the green discussion a week or two ago.&nbsp; Worn with boyfriend jeans, the wool vest, and grey wool suede booties, plus my Granny's jade beads and a pair of green beaded earrings.&nbsp; I'm rather shocked at how much I like these gentlemanly looks on me.&nbsp; In comparison, the last pic is what I wore on Monday - blue knit pullover, blue floral pants, and black brogues with a pearl choker and some silver "tribal" hoop earrings.&nbsp; Previously this outfit would have sent me over the moon, but now I find it ... fine.&nbsp; Fine but kinda of average and boring. </p>
