Otherwise I don't feel good in them. Handbags? &nbsp; I usually end &nbsp;up with should strap bags out of pure efficiency - not because I think they look fantastic. &nbsp;With this particular outfit, i was purse-less that day and was using a black leather backpack as I was carrying around a ton of stuff for work. &nbsp;I love a fold over clutch too &nbsp;</p> <p>Low contrast "rule" has to do with wearing colours that are more harmonious with the colour of your skin and thus not in such contrast against it (e.g. the soft pinks and nudes vs black). I don't always understand how exactly it works and on who, but I have found pretty quickly that pale and soft colours are flattering on my freckled, medium coloured skin.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58/page/2#post-1490600 Tue, 12 May 2015 14:25:34 +0000 Sara L. 1490600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look with the pink tank and vest.&nbsp;&nbsp;Have you tried the vest with white or grey underneath?&nbsp; That could keep the look low-contrast and prevent the vest from being a one-trick pony. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58/page/2#post-1490592 Tue, 12 May 2015 14:19:58 +0000 Melissa 1490592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Lisa, I'm late on chiming in, so many great posts out there lately, but I am always interested in what the petite ladies are up to....I love your outfit!&nbsp; Yes, to your spring outfit!&nbsp; Love the pink moto vest!&nbsp; So cute!&nbsp; You look perfectly pulled together.... and adorable points for the pink feminity! I probably would not have loved the moto in black(at least for a springish day). I have similar sandals, but I don't think they are as comfortable as yours.&nbsp; I love, love your pants!&nbsp; I didn't think I could wear the looser pants as a petite...you look great!&nbsp; Hmmmm...will have to try, no matter how frightened I may be of the result........you look great.. If i saw you walking down the street, I would definitely think..."Wow, what a well put-together lady, and she's rockin' a moto vest!"&nbsp; OK, I am out of the loop on all the references to low-contrast and skin tone....must have been a YLF class that I missed....I know that there are colors that I just can't wear...no matter how cool I think they are...but I don't know the low-contrast rules....Another thing....how is your handbag collection?&nbsp; No pressure.....I could imagine your last post or two with a beautiful medium/larger sized, soft, leather fold-over clutch?&nbsp; I can't do clutch bags....I would need a third or fourth arm.&nbsp; Was wondering what smart style or shapes you prefer with your outfits.....no pressure....... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58/page/2#post-1489785 Sun, 10 May 2015 13:41:38 +0000 kerry 1489785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, your WIW posts are very inspirational and I hope you'll keep posting pics. That vest is gorgeous. The low contrast and colour make it soft and pretty but the sleeveless layers and moto styling make it edgy at the same time. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58/page/2#post-1489779 Sun, 10 May 2015 13:33:35 +0000 jackiec 1489779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally hear ya on the low contrast thing.

Big keeper. </p> <p>Prob of no use to you...

It is perfect with the two different textures and asymmetrical vs symmetrical paired together in almost the same color. It makes it very interesting looking- a second look in a great kind of way. I like the light color on you as well. Perfect with your skintone ! </p> <p>Earring add more asymmetrical interest as well... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58#post-1489499 Sat, 09 May 2015 17:59:02 +0000 Janet 1489499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have very limited forum time right now so I can't comment as much as I normally would, but mark me down as another vote for a) you look fantastic, and b) don't stop posting pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58#post-1489468 Sat, 09 May 2015 16:10:17 +0000 Anonymous 1489468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not trying to be coy ladies - I meant no-one needs to see WIW's 3 days in a row &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58#post-1489429 Sat, 09 May 2015 14:19:32 +0000 Anonymous 1489429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now why on earth would you want to stop posting pics? Just show us some re-mixed pieces pretty pleeease!</p> <p>The pale pink vest and tank are lovely and so great with the draped pants and awesome sandals. It was interesting to read your thoughts about the other black vest and why it didn't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58#post-1489422 Sat, 09 May 2015 13:51:30 +0000 texstyle 1489422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't dare stop posting pics!&nbsp; This is a great vest on you. I had this in my shopping bag too but haven't pulled the trigger because I worry that it's something that I love but may not get the opportunity to wear often enough in my hot climate. I prefer vests worn with sleeveless tops so it means I have to consider it for summer wear. But it looks stunning on you as does the entire outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58#post-1489385 Sat, 09 May 2015 12:13:03 +0000 AM 1489385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look!

And during BayDay so 30 off I think. I'm still not convinced it's not going to be a one look wonder though. But at least it didn't cost a fortune. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58#post-1489300 Sat, 09 May 2015 04:34:44 +0000 Suz 1489300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't you dare stop posting pics. Not if your pics are as fun (and educational) as this.&nbsp;</p> <p>I <b>LOVE</b> this on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am still on the hunt for a vest. Was 1 state from the Bay?&nbsp;</p> <p>I bought a Zara vest and returned it. I actually loved it, but decided it wasn't the "one" (for now) mainly due to climate. It would have worked perfectly in Vancouver but was too heavy for my summers and not really workable in the other seasons, plus I needed to shorten it for proportions. Although I'm still wondering whether I'll get it if there are any left when the sale comes round.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58#post-1489254 Sat, 09 May 2015 02:28:41 +0000 Windchime 1489254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest is a terrific color and style on you! Lower contrast is clearly the way to go. I love your earrings and sandals, too.

The low contrast pink works perfectly. The VC sandals look great with your outfit too!</p> <p>I wore my black sleeveless vest today, and I do have trouble styling it sometimes. I usually end up wearing a solid black tee underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58#post-1489218 Sat, 09 May 2015 01:09:13 +0000 Angie 1489218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES.

I had &nbsp;NEVER given one thought about low contrast vs high contrast &nbsp;(I'm not an analyzer, I'm intuitive instead) until I joined YLF. And it has helped me figure out why things I think SHOULD look good don't, and how I can remedy that. &nbsp;It's like a lightbulb went off. &nbsp;1st world issues I know, but still! &nbsp;And I'm done with pics for awhile because I've now photo'd anything interesting and new:)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-promise-this-is-it-for-awhile-the-vest-58#post-1489208 Sat, 09 May 2015 00:50:50 +0000 Angie 1489208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't stop posting pics.

Perfection. </p>
