None of these look costume-y to my eye, but I am a horse girl so that might make a difference </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446703 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 19:57:21 +0000 AM 1446703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 but without the necklace. Less is more with this one. And I'm really liking just the black and tan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446680 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 19:32:38 +0000 Anonymous 1446680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with just the vest and without the necklace (which is really cute, by the way).&nbsp;&nbsp; I would probably wear it with a more casual boot, like a low-heeled riding boot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446657 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 18:55:10 +0000 Author Linda 1446657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look. #3 works best for me. You can do without the necklace, I think. That belt buckle functions as jewelry and--I think--it's wonderful, a real focal point. While lovely on its own, the&nbsp;necklace complicates the elegant lines of the outfit and buckle.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm a "horse" gal, though, so might be biased. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446647 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 18:36:33 +0000 Anonymous 1446647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this! I like the shirt because I love the color it adds, it softens the western vibe a little and makes it less one track. It doesn't look costume-y to me even with the vest.Your&nbsp;softer, more natural looking&nbsp;hair and makeup&nbsp;really helps too.&nbsp;<br />Without the shirt, it starts to look not just&nbsp;more straight out western but also a little "tough girl", and the tank top alone would be my last choice.&nbsp;<br />I was terrorized in high school by the tough girl gang so I may be overly reactive too, hahaha.<br />I really like how you've done this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446643 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 18:35:23 +0000 Marilyn 1446643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice look!&nbsp; #3 is my favourite.&nbsp; I like the belt....a bit different and quirky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446634 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 18:28:22 +0000 unfrumped 1446634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun layers and textures!<br />I vote #2 , using the green shirt for good added interest, but without the necklace or using a simpler piece, small silver or small turquoise.&nbsp; &nbsp;Or maybe a ring. The horse riding&nbsp;above the waist and the jewelry hanging down to me are more than you need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446609 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 17:54:06 +0000 trekkiegirl 1446609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't take off the belt, like I said its necessary with these pants... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446600 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 17:46:52 +0000 rachylou 1446600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IMO, the vest is essential, with or without the green shirt. You've got a western vibe going, but it's not too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446598 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 17:45:52 +0000 Minnie 1446598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #3 best and think you should wear&nbsp;the belt. <br />To me it comes across as fun. (I'm in Colorado and a rider, so I may have a higher tolerance for all things horse and western-y)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446566 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 17:13:11 +0000 texstyle 1446566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 the best but would swap the belt for something simple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446552 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 16:41:08 +0000 Anonymous 1446552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2, but without the necklace.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446548 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 16:33:35 +0000 Alassë 1446548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #3 with its brown &amp; black contrast. I'd leave off the buckle (replace with a subdued belt); the horse graphic tee fits in well with the outfit. With that swapped, it would be a great&nbsp;horse inspired outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446547 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 16:31:16 +0000 MTBGirl 1446547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with just the vest best. #3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/horses---ironic-or-costume#post-1446544 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 16:27:33 +0000 trekkiegirl 1446544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Full disclosure: I'm already wearing this and had to go in to work early, so there's no possibility of changing pieces, only adding or subtracting them. Pants are obviously non-negotiable lol</p> <p>How many pieces do you think it takes to make an outfit costume-y, or just too over the top? There's the horse buckle on the belt, a horse on the graphic tee, some dangly jewelry on leather straps, and the brown leather vest. At least I knew better than to wear my brown riding boots haha! I can't lose the belt it's necessary with these pants, and I feel like if I ditch the vest I'll lose the black and brown combo look. Could lose the button down I suppose, the office has been rather warm lately. Or I could take the tee off and have only the black tank top, but then the back brace would feel very visible to me.</p> <p>Any advice/opinions/input?</p> <p>+ a pic of my back brace that I'm getting fed up with </p>
