I have to stop myself from filling up my cart with things with leather trim!</p> <p>Below, skirt with faux leather panel, and top with leather trim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1104966 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 04:20:06 +0000 unfrumped 1104966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think there is only the generic potential problem of going so deep into a trend that you can't re- style when you are ready for a change. That's if the pieces themselves would not fit the definition of basics, classics or whatever you call things with some inherent longevity and in which you might " invest". But otherwise I think it is great to find and wear pieces you really like and wear that type of thing frequently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1104948 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 03:53:15 +0000 Suz 1104948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are in need of help, I could come and offer to take a few of those off your hands. :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I totally get your love for this. I only have one piece so far (a coat) and it is not enough.&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: I lied. I also have a top. But I think the manufacturer was the first liar. They say is it mixed media but I see no mix. Unless you count buttons as a different medium.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1104938 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 03:43:19 +0000 anne 1104938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going against the flow here - I think you should consider slowing down. Don't you already have storage issues in your very small apartment? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1104512 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 17:41:10 +0000 rae 1104512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waaaait a minute. I think there is something wrong here - <i>where are the pics of this zippered suit??&nbsp;</i>;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1104508 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 17:37:24 +0000 Beth Ann 1104508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go big, or go home!&nbsp; Really, though, the only problem I can foresee is having to replace these items if/when you tire of mixed media.&nbsp; Of course, perhaps you won't tire of it at all!&nbsp; Mixed media would be very appealing to an artist's eye, and can always be reinterpreted in new ways.&nbsp; Perhaps it's a part of your signature style?</p> <p>Just skip the nylon track suits with the embroidered inserts, OK? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1104413 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 15:33:32 +0000 Angie 1104413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hereby crown you Queen Mixed Media.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1104240 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 08:00:32 +0000 Neel 1104240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you love it .... rock it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1104215 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 06:52:26 +0000 Adelfa 1104215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I'm with Vix. It's sort of like how I posted that I was buying too much gray and everyone said it wasn't a problem. It sounds like this trend is striking a pretty deep chord in you. It's a trademark! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1104196 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 06:13:27 +0000 AJ 1104196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm drawn to it too, but only have one at the moment. Wear what you love and stand tall! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1104164 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 04:33:15 +0000 Vix 1104164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Rachylou --</p> <p>Can't we slap the "signature style" label on your choices <i>cough addiction cough </i>and call it good?</p> <p>You strike me as a wear what you love woman, so if MM cycles out of fashion and you have a closet full of it, well...no problem, right? </p> <p>I say enjoy that you're currently spoiled for choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1104034 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:11:31 +0000 shedev 1104034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be joining you at mixed media anonymous.

It doesn't seem like something that will become dated in and of itself, if the cuts remain in style and the fit is good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1103780 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 20:28:15 +0000 Mo 1103780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving the trend, too. &nbsp;Although I don't own many pieces, I do covet them. &nbsp;If it floats your boat, why not? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1103775 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 20:20:24 +0000 Anonymous 1103775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see that there is any problem with having lots of mixed media pieces. I love the effect. I don't think you need to be going to 'Mixed Media Fans Anonymous' just yet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/going-overboard-on-mixed-media#post-1103768 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 20:16:46 +0000 rachylou 1103768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa, I am still nuts for mixed media. I should probably really really stop. I found another suit (I've been looking for punkish, yet corporate suits) and I was just sitting here when I realised it was another mixed media deal. (I had more fixated on the good fit and the zippers all over it.)</p> <p>So that makes: </p> <ul> <li>1 skirt suit</li> <li>1 pants suit</li> <li>1 pants (ok, this is really a suit, but the jacket needs major reconstructing so I'm not counting it right now)</li> <li>3 coats</li> <li>1 blazer</li> <li>Several sweaters</li> <li>Several tops</li> </ul> <p>And I'll throw in some tuxedo styled stuff, which is kinda in the same vein. I just really love this style. I'm waiting for someone in the office to mention it. </p> <p>Do I need help, or do I need help? </p>
