I have similar black boots to yours, the trousers are acceptable with them, but not perfect. I will probably shorten the trousers a little bit, because I manage the really high heels only indoors or during very short walks, they do not work for longer walks at all. </p> <p>Your boots are very nice and this hight is usually very comfortable and useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876954 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 18:13:33 +0000 karen13 1876954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both, but the green just pops so beautifully and is sensational with your coloring. Like lynn, this would be bold for me as I am also quite fair in skin tone and hair, but I would wear this look in a heartbeat.&nbsp;</p> <p>What is the lowest heel you could wear and keep the pants length? They look so good at that length, it might be worth it &nbsp;to find a confortable heel if it is possible. I just got some high-for-me heeled boots but I am amazed at their comfort and loving feeling tall. They are Born (I have wide, short feet). I think the heel and sole style make them too stompy for this elegant look, but maybe you have could find something. </p> <p>I understand the goal of shopping your closet; it is annoying and expensive to have to buy a whole new supporting act for one piece, but I admit I am shopping for longer length pants now to go with my new boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876924 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 17:09:49 +0000 Katerina 1876924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b><b>SarahD8</b>, thank you very much! This is exactly what I am trying to do - I would like to create an outfit "bank", if you will, which I could just go to and find good outfits to wear next morning or&nbsp;for travel&nbsp;etc.&nbsp;No more&nbsp;struggle to get dresses in the morning I am honoured that you find my use of accessories inspiring. I think I have a lot of different accessories, which I collected almost&nbsp;over my entire adult life. These are things I do not usually get rid off (unless worn&nbsp;out). Many of them sit and wait in periods for their time, but the wide choice makes outfit creating&nbsp;easier for me&nbsp;<u>and fun</u>&nbsp;:-). &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, thank you, you are so kind!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Zaeobi</b>, thanks for the nice compliments! Actually, it is first now when you talked about the second version of the outfit&nbsp;I realized the grey colour is not repeated in anything else in the outfit - hmmm I usually try to&nbsp;use some item which "picks up" the colour of the topper.&nbsp;You are right,&nbsp;the grey bag would work fine ... Don't know what I was thinking.&nbsp;You are very good with colours! </p> <p>The jacket is from Escada, found in a designers' outlet sale a couple of years ago, it was a great find. I think it's a simple,&nbsp;classic and quite&nbsp;timeless piece.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876876 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 16:01:27 +0000 Zaeobi 1876876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, you look amazing both ways! Personally #2 is my favourite though, due to the colours - I feel like the cool purple &amp; deep red work well with the trousers &amp; your colouring (pale skin &amp; rich but dark brown hair). The slightly warm undertones to the mushroom grey in the jacket really bring it together. If the red bag is too small for work, I feel outfit #2 could still work with the grey bag as well. What do you think? </p> <p>Speaking of the jacket, where is it from? Everything about it is sublime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876863 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:28:52 +0000 Anonymous 1876863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are fabulous on you but I like the first one best with that wonderful bag and jacket that go together so well. You are so stylish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876859 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:19:04 +0000 SarahD8 1876859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are fantastic -- I can't pick a favorite.</p> <p>I love how you are using this challenge as an opportunity to make multiple outfits based around a particular piece. I imagine that will come in handy in the future as you can just grab outfits you already know will work!&nbsp;</p> <p>Your use of accessories is really inspiring to me. I've thought lately that I'd like to build an accessory wardrobe that I would have for many years, and you are really showing what that can look like in practice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876844 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 14:31:34 +0000 Katerina 1876844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>All&nbsp;</b>so very much for all&nbsp;the wonderful compliments and the kind words!&nbsp;You have&nbsp;truly made my day, it is so fun to continue with such fantastic encouragement!</p> <p><b>Sterling</b>, thank you for your extraordinary compliments and kindness.&nbsp;No 2 would work at the office as well (of course without the gloves), no problem with the style. However, the red handbag is very little for me, I usually carry a lot of stuff, so I would certainly&nbsp;have to&nbsp;carry an extra bag, which is a bit of a hassle. I will use the scarf with the outfit and probably add another, larger bag. I have a blue bag which would work.</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, thank you for support and&nbsp;interest.&nbsp;That's right,&nbsp;my goal is to work with my wardrobe better, in order&nbsp;to use all the clothes I actually own, try to employ the "non-favourites" as well, try to&nbsp;use more accessories and&nbsp;thus improve my outfits on the whole. I&nbsp;will during&nbsp;January&nbsp;document one outfit a day (at least it is my ambition) and try not to repeat bottoms, tops, indoor toppers and scarves.&nbsp;So far, I have not repeated any such items,&nbsp;apart from a black&nbsp;silk top, which is a workhorse. As it seems, I will probably have to&nbsp;repeat some scarves too. Shoes, bags and jewellery&nbsp;are allowed to be repeated. Outerwear is not included in my challenge at all.&nbsp;I suppose this exercise will lead to some wardrobe editing which is a bonus.</p> <p>Yes <b>Toban</b>, I remember such old rules. A similar "rule" was not to wear black and brown together, which is a great combo. Teal and navy is fantastic!</p> <p>Absolutely, <b>Lyn67</b>, gloves are fabulous accessories!</p> </p> <p><b></b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>&nbsp;</b>&nbsp;</p> <p><b></b>&nbsp;<b></b></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876816 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 12:58:34 +0000 lyn67 1876816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, your "calm" is my&nbsp; extra bold but I'm a no contrast blonde-so don't take it pertsonal.Love your use of colors and gloves DO the difference from great to gorgeous but otherwise, really like them both!

Both looks are fab, slight preference for #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876806 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 12:04:22 +0000 Toban 1876806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look phenomenal on you. I like your pairing of green and royal. I remember growing up being told to not wear green and blue together, but I now do it all the time. It’s a favorite of mine, esp. teal and navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876805 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 12:02:13 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1876805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La Ped used all my adjectives—bold, elegant, confidant, put-together is exactly what these project. I really like how harmonious and soothing the first one is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876775 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 08:07:54 +0000 Aurore 1876775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both outfits (so stylish, so inspiring for me!), but&nbsp;I have a soft spot for the 2nd one. The pop of red on the gloves and back look wonderful with the royal&nbsp;trousers and scarf. Also, I find the cut of the jacket very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876769 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 07:08:40 +0000 Brooklyn 1876769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My oh my you are fabulous! Both great but I prefer no 1, the purple and green are magic.<br /> Can you remind me what your challenge goal is Katerina? I think it was to wear as much as possible (no repeats)? Are you trying to make editing decisions or just to maximise use of your wardrobe? I can’t imagine editing your wardrobe because everything is so fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876768 Tue, 09 Jan 2018 06:57:41 +0000 Style Fan 1876768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am enjoying your elegant and chic style.&nbsp; The colours you wear are very flattering.&nbsp; I love that red vintage bag.&nbsp; Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876675 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 22:36:40 +0000 LaPed 1876675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving your bold, elegant style.

It's so good to see non-neutral bottoms. Royal blue looks gorgeous and is an excellent colour for winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/january-30x30-outfit-7---royal-pants-grey-jacket#post-1876649 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 21:12:01 +0000 Katerina 1876649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day 7 of the challenge. Monday -&nbsp;a new working week. Today, I post an outfit I wore to the office and a&nbsp;version to save for later The pictures are taken now in the evening when me and DH&nbsp;came home - so the lighting is not very good.</p> <p>The outfit I actually wore is <b><u>No 1</u></b>. I am wearing a pair of wool trousers in royal blue combined with a cream blouse a grey wool jacket and black high heeled platform boots. I am wearing a grey large handbag - one of my workhorses.&nbsp;The trousers are new and I have not decided on the length yet - that is why I use the heels. Otherwise, I prefer a lot lower shoes for comfort. I will probably adjust the length to flat boots. To this version I added a green and black patterned wool scarf, which has just a&nbsp;touch of royal blue in the pattern.&nbsp;For the sake of the picture, I added a pair of purple leather gloves - so a little bit cheating :-).&nbsp;Since the outfit is rather "calm" - no bright colours, I am wearing a red lipstick to give a bit of a colour.</p> <p>Then I made another version to show you,&nbsp;<b><u>No 2</u></b>,<b></b><u></u><u></u><u></u><b></b>&nbsp;with a black/royal large long&nbsp;scarf, which has a lovely texture and softness and&nbsp;added a pair of vintage red&nbsp;velvet gloves. The cute little&nbsp;red&nbsp;vintage handbag is a gift from an old friend. This outfit I would wear to a dinner out with a black coat.</p> <p>I feel very comfortable in this outfit (apart from the shoes. ;-),&nbsp;I think this is actually quite typical for what I often&nbsp;wear wintertime to work.&nbsp;</p> <p>So what do you guys&nbsp;think?&nbsp;I am grateful for honest&nbsp;feedback, suggestions and critique.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> </p>
