Fortunately, I haven't seen much to really grab me in that green this year." and then Angie posted that excellent sweater dress in forest green, haha. You are trying that dress, right?</p> <p>Photo 3 looks like you're laughing at the skin flashing out between the pants and shoes.1-4 all look seasonally confused, like you must have cold feet. Paired with a cami or short sleeves on top, they might work better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857624 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 07:08:37 +0000 Kate 1857624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those boots, Janet! I'm another who's been shopping and having a bit of a burgundy/plum run. I have bought plum wide legged trousers and blazer; a gorgeous patterned burgundy scarf, and burgundy and black high-heeled oxfords. Oh, and a plum sweater with a small navy collar. Need to stop now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857621 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 05:22:34 +0000 Anonymous 1857621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>best look for me are those laced boots with the black jeans--they come up on the ankle so there's no gap and it looks very appealing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857584 Thu, 02 Nov 2017 02:02:15 +0000 Anonymous 1857584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on those black jeans and I really wanted them to work.&nbsp; &nbsp;tucked into boots, yes they would.&nbsp; But with flats or loafers, my legs and ankles were not high five-ing those jeans.&nbsp; &nbsp;they needed to be tighter at the ankle for a more stream-lined look and they fit everywhere else.&nbsp; &nbsp;So I ended up with a pair of AG black jeans and they look great, outside and inside a boot.</p> <p>love the detail on that merlot top!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857545 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 22:46:25 +0000 Rambling Ann 1857545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see what you think of the vest. It looks so cowgirl-chic, like worthy of dining in a four star restaurant in Jackson WY or Austin TX. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857532 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 21:07:31 +0000 RobinF 1857532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a lot of burgundy out this year! I like all of these, especially that vest! Hope it works out! I like the jeans but I must admit I like them the best with the higher shaft booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857492 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 17:33:30 +0000 Lynette 1857492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, my absolute favorite color is a deep dark burgundy! I think it is a great color for you and I also have to say that beautiful blue jacket you are wearing in the pictures looks amazing, too, with your dark hair. The jeans look great to me and I like the length. I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857472 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 15:51:53 +0000 cindysmith 1857472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have nothing constructive to add, as I've been shopping quite a bit too. I love that tee! Now I'm off to go pick up a book so I dot go shopping for things inspired by your new acquisitions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857446 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 14:11:57 +0000 Lisa 1857446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jeans look great, and if your color in "hot" this season I would stock up, because next year they may have nothing in colors you like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857311 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 01:35:11 +0000 JAileen 1857311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's smart to stock up on a beloved color when it's popular. Next year, who knows? I love the boots and the top. I bet you'll get a lot of wear out of both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857309 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 01:24:34 +0000 Elizabeth P 1857309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great set of finds, Janet. ESP the burgundy boots.... fab! </p> <p>The jeans - have to admit I do think they are a bit short. This is disguised when you wear them with the boots, so just be sure you are fine with this. In my oh so humble opinion, this kinda defeats the purpose of the cool hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857295 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 00:39:51 +0000 gradfashionista 1857295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are such great finds. The boots look so versatile, and the length of the jeans looks just fine. </p> <p>I’m also in the same boat as far as this season goes—not a specific color, but definitely a surplus of leathers and metallics. It’s a lot harder on the wallet in one go, but it’s also been a wonderful season. I didn’t think that would be the case based on fashion week trends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857293 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 00:27:16 +0000 Brooklyn 1857293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the lace up top. I vote grab your colours while you can.&nbsp; The jeans look good to me. I like the interesting hem line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857287 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 00:14:48 +0000 Angie 1857287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jeans looks GREAT with ALL those shoes. Length is fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857265 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 23:26:40 +0000 Style Fan 1857265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Angie said it is a great fall season.&nbsp; I have seen lots of things I like.&nbsp; I plan to do some shopping in Montreal in a few weeks.&nbsp; Love everything you have bought.<br />The Paige jeans look really good.&nbsp; Very flattering.&nbsp; Fantastic fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857263 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 23:15:48 +0000 3style 1857263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the Paul Green reference. I am going to have to see if my new coat I ordered yesterday (entirely inspired by a Angie's post) works out before I switch my attention to shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857227 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 20:29:40 +0000 Elle 1857227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with 3style - they look better with booties/higher shaft.&nbsp; Great pants, by the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857178 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 17:19:52 +0000 jill58 1857178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them with the booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857171 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 16:59:53 +0000 Janet 1857171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3style, those loafers are by Paul Green. I got them 2.5 years ago during NAS and they have been total workhorses! Yes, I do have low volume feet -- many loafers do not work on me because they slip right off my heels. These are a pleasant exception.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback! I feel similarly to what you expressed.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857154 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 16:06:10 +0000 3style 1857154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Side question for Janet... What brand are the loafers in the first two photos? Do you have low volume feet? I'd guess so by the photos. On the lookout for some replacements for my Abeos and I would like something more stylish if it will stay on yet not pinch. </p> <p>As far as the pants, I like them with everything except for the loafers and those ones with the open heel: sort of a slingback style. I think that the loafers are too utilitarian and it is too much stylistic contrast. And I think that the open back heels look fine from the front. However, to me, for the side view it seems to look a bit like you caught your trousers seam on the back of your heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857149 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 15:22:09 +0000 Janet 1857149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too, Sara. I don’t like to shorten/stumpify my legs — emphasizing their length really helps me feel more fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857145 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 15:18:21 +0000 Sara L. 1857145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that sweater with the lace up sleeves.&nbsp; It's unusual and subtle.&nbsp; I think the jeans look good on you.&nbsp; I prefer them with the booties with a bit of heel and/or higher shaft.&nbsp; That's just me though and I'm not very daring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857140 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 15:09:45 +0000 Janet 1857140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trying on the jeans with various footwear. Ignore the jacket and top — I was testing out this top to see if I successfully stretched it (bought it at my smallest and it had gotten snug, but some gentle damp stretching did the trick).</p> <p>Wondering if the length of the jeans looks right. I really like the fit and I think they work (especially with higher shaft booties) but welcome opinions. I think I had them pulled down on my legs when I started try-ons, but they do inch up a little bit, like most skinnies do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857120 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 14:16:44 +0000 Angie 1857120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a REALLY good season, Janet. Stock up while you can. These pieces look very you. Keep us posted.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857105 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 13:43:04 +0000 LaPed 1857105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, those boots look pretty darn perfect for you. Hard to tell you not to keep them if they're comfortable. I've only added two items this fall, and burgundy lace-up boots were one of them, and I am SO happy with them. Right now I'm trying to talk myself out of burgundy sneakers, so I know the feeling. 'Tis the season for burgundy apparently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857099 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 13:36:59 +0000 Janet 1857099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karen, now I feel better! :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>Two of my favorite f/w colors to wear EVER are burgundy and forest green. Fortunately, I haven't seen much to really grab me in that green this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857096 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 13:31:40 +0000 karen13 1857096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought my third burgundy sweater.....</p> <p>And yes you need those boots. They are gorgeous. That t is super -I like the subtler lacing. Looking forward to some WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gotta-stop-shopping--#post-1857088 Tue, 31 Oct 2017 13:12:12 +0000 Janet 1857088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the first year in a long while, I'm finding all the burgundy things, and feel compelled to try them. But Angie wisely advises to take advantage of it when a color you love trends, so stock up, right? I already got the burgundy tall Born boots (replacing some old ones that no longer were comfortable), and they are turning out to be instant workhorses. But I have now succumbed further to the temptation of a color I love finally being available in abundance, and ordered a few things.&nbsp;</p> <p>I figured it was unlikely everything would work for me, so the wallet should not be too heavily hit, but so far I already cut the tags off the lace-up shoulder tee and wore it the very next day after I received it. I love that it functions as a basic tee and layers easily, but has a distinctive edge and looks interesting without a topper.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also really like those boots, which were an Angie pick. At first when I tried them on, I thought they would be too stiff, but a very brief wear around the house quickly disproved that. Yikes, do I need more boots? Probably not. But I love that really rich dark color, and the refined-rugged style. Can I justify these? Hmmm.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not sure about the vest -- that hasn't arrived yet. Maybe it will look awful. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>I also noticed the Hoxton undone hem black jeans turned up back on sale, so I pounced on those too. I like them a lot -- they're much more comfortable than my ancient black straight leg jeans, which are a bit heavy and stiff. They're a little short, perhaps? But with booties maybe that doesn't really matter so much.&nbsp; </p>
