Or low/low, lol.</p> <p>I can imagine you wanting to wear this all time, Adelfa. Can't think of a place you couldn't go in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-998284 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 03:47:26 +0000 Adelfa 998284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, that's a good point about knitwear. I just passed on another black cardi that just seems kind of stretched out and faded.</p> <p>Natalie, I love it! &nbsp;Of course Ms S should accompany H&amp;M, among many other things.</p> <p>Rae, lol, you mix *everything* together.</p> <p>Lyn D and Susie, I was wondering if I would create a misunderstanding! Sorry!</p> <p>Thanks Ceit, ruthe, Isabel, Thistle, harmonica, cobaltblue. I love getting that praise for an outfit I felt like me in!</p> <p>Janet, do it!</p> <p>unfrumped, can't wait to see your shoe contrast purchases!</p> <p>Day Vies, I've noticed how you mix in brands like Old Navy. You do it with great panache!</p> <p>You know everybody, the skirt felt semi-crazy to buy but I knew I truly loved it and was supremely comfortable in it both physically and otherwise. Now if it becomes a workhorse, I'll have learned a really good lesson!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997995 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 21:03:05 +0000 cobaltblue 997995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! Two-tone shoes are the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997953 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 19:49:39 +0000 harmonica 997953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997858 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 17:24:10 +0000 Thistle 997858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous, professional, and polished.&nbsp; Great outfit to be in for the review!</p> <p>The shoes really do tie it all together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997828 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 16:05:23 +0000 Adelfa 997828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, on people with our coloring the dark/light shoe really bookends even more than a dark, because the contrast echoes our personal contrast! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997825 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 15:58:41 +0000 Beth Ann 997825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great choice of outfit!&nbsp; Particularly for the visit by monitors. You look polished and simple and chic.</p> <p>Two tone shoes.&nbsp; Perhaps they should go on my list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997821 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 15:40:40 +0000 Isabel 997821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. You look amazing. &nbsp;You would never know that it is high-low.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997818 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 15:34:46 +0000 Day Vies 997818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classic and stunning. (I am so glad you got over your aversion to spectators!) I love spectators especially in modern color combinations. </p> <p>High low dressing is definitely a staple in my tool box for outfit making because I play with fit and proportions and if an old navy tee looks great with a high end fill in the blank so be it. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997732 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 12:44:06 +0000 Susie 997732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too was looking for a high-low hemline! The outfit looks great and I'm glad you "get" the spectators; two tone shoes do add interest.</p> <p>Most of my layering tees are on the low end which allows me to have a nice variety of colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997730 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 12:43:23 +0000 unfrumped 997730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in that outfit. I have some cap- toe slingbacks, too after making that same discovery. Dark- light 2- tones are a wardrobe goal for me this year, too, as well as other neutral or almost neutral not- black footwear. I still have to base a lot of my workwear on black pants but am trying to add more shoe contrast. Your outfit is a great example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997729 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 12:42:05 +0000 ruthe 997729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely beautiful. You do this so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997722 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 12:25:58 +0000 Janet 997722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks terrific! </p> <p>I do high-low all the time, and I love it. There is something that makes me chuckle a little inwardly to throw that IRO blue moto over a $5 tee. I have actually thought it would be a fun challenge to pick out two highest/lowest pieces from my closet and make a cohesive outfit from them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997687 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 10:44:59 +0000 Anonymous 997687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of my favourite outfits you have posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997683 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 09:56:46 +0000 Lyn D. 997683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here I was failing to see a hi/lo hemline in your outfit!<br />YLF, and I love my multi oxfords- black, beige and burgundy- they do add interest to an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997676 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 06:38:41 +0000 rae 997676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fab skirt! I think I remember seeing that one in person somewhere, and it is just gorgeous. I love high-low, too... I guess I'd better or my new, "high" stuff would be totally orphaned... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997671 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 05:12:50 +0000 goldenpig 997671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the sweater and skirt together! Yay for high-low combos! I like to pair my new Chanel purse with Target &amp; H&amp;M clothes too. I love the two toned shoes. Very polished! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997665 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 04:51:27 +0000 lyn* 997665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore high-low; and especially for knitwear - which wears out so quickly!</p> <p>I love your wrap with the pretty and versatile dot pattern! No wonder you felt confident enough for your grant monitoring! :)</p> <p>I think the slingbacks work, and the two tones add a spot of interest (no pun intended) to your outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/high-low-fashion-and-spectator-thoughts#post-997663 Sat, 03 Aug 2013 04:43:29 +0000 Adelfa 997663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this may be my most extreme high-low outfit ever--my new DVF skirt and my even newer Costco cardi. Happiness factor was very high, and I got to wear it for when the Feds came to monitor our grant!</p> <p>I am wearing some Angie-pick slingback spectators. I didn't use to get spectators. I thought they were ALGO for no good reason, some kind of back-East tribal custom. I didn't grasp how much they do to tie together an outfit! These are great for me because they are black and pale tan, which not only is a nude for me, but also tones with the cream I love to pair with black. I will definitely be on the lookout for more two-toned footwear. </p> <p>Do you love high-low too? How about spectators or any other two-toned footwear?</p> <p>The second pic is bot the most flattering but I wanted to show the side view of the slingbacks, and also the black back panel of the skirt!</p> <p>Silk shell is some brand from Nordy I didn't recognize. Spectators are Ros Hommerson. </p>
