I especially like the khaki and grey pairings. Black isn't bad but it's a little stronger against khaki. Some nice outfits here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445833 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 18:23:37 +0000 Anonymous 445833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially love 3, 5, and 9! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445751 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 15:35:14 +0000 Anonymous 445751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm one of those who dislikes the look of khaki pants in general (seem so masculine on most) and feel for any woman who must wear these as part of a work uniform. However I like the crisp white shirt and belted look of #1 and would like it paired better with the blazer of #5 or cardi of #8. #5 and #8 also look great to my eye. Classic and crisp, you may yet make a believer out of me. Thank you for posting your inspiring outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445721 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 14:10:26 +0000 Queen Mum 445721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These all look great to me. My favorites are 1,3 and 8. Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445679 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 12:30:16 +0000 sarah 445679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5, 8, and 9 are my faves. Good for you for working on this. I've been afraid to wear khakis every since joining YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445540 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 02:56:04 +0000 lynne 445540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done! You've inspired me to get mine out. I love khakis but have been lazy about getting them out of the closet lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445451 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 22:59:16 +0000 Carole 445451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Alecia, I'm glad you responded to whether or not to keep the jacket, too late I already ripped off the tags. Good point about the scarf or other fun touch. I wore it with a colorful scarf today with autumn colors including olive green. </p> <p>I'm not sure I will be sporting the khakis much In the future, this was a good exercise for me, either way. I like 5, 8 and 9 and might try those IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445441 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 22:53:15 +0000 Alecia 445441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 3 and 5 here. Very sweet! This also is a vote for the jacket but I think you'll want to wear it with a touch flair (a la animal print) scarf. I could see loving it with something sparkly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445439 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 22:47:40 +0000 Carole 445439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies.</p> <p>Annagybe, MTB and Kyle- thanks for your votes on whats working here.</p> <p>Astrid- you make a good point about olive and khaki being safari-ish, kind of manly, huh!?</p> <p>Midwest girl. Thanks- I really like this sweater and in theory thought it might pair nicely with the khaki, but the pics didn't quite reflect how thought it would look, funny how that works.</p> <p>Katie - you are so sweet, thanks.</p> <p>Gingko- good tip on the necklace with the orange sweater. Thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445437 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 22:39:50 +0000 Ginkgo 445437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are 5, 6, and 9. What about adding a necklace to 4? The orange is a great color on you and looks good with the khaki, just needs a little oomph. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445429 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 22:10:04 +0000 Kate 445429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Carole. You always carry off clothes so well. My particular favorites are #5, #6 and #8. You did a great job styling your khakis. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445420 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 21:48:22 +0000 Suz 445420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so much fun playing like this (even vicariously!) Carole, I really like #1; it's so crisp and classic. Ditto 3, 5 and 8 and 9! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445386 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 21:07:02 +0000 Midwest Girl 445386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfits! I like nos. 5, 8, &amp; 9. Also, you look very good in the orange sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445329 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:55:39 +0000 Kyle 445329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Number 5 is awesome. Fresh and modern in all the right ways. Love that top and the khakis are so versatile. Very polished but still casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445322 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:42:18 +0000 Astrid 445322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #5, #8 and #9 best. I'm not a big fan of khaki and olive together, it looks too 'safari' too me. But I really like it with the black, white and blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445315 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:30:09 +0000 morethanbeige 445315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#8 and #9 are so Wow! Love them, so elegant. Also really like 4 and 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445310 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:20:39 +0000 annagybe 445310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 and #5 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445302 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:10:51 +0000 Carole 445302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gee, thanks, Lyn. Hoping to get some use from them (my khakis) this fall. They have been languishing in my closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445299 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 19:08:17 +0000 lyn67 445299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1,3,5,and 9 are lovely but 8 is so so polished!!! Love this colours combo, and never thought khakis can do that!! thax for sharing!<br /> (taking notes) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/khaki-practice#post-445288 Sat, 15 Oct 2011 18:56:26 +0000 Carole 445288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Annagybe and Already Pretty's recent post about how to wear Khakis with style inspired me to drag mine out and play around using her tips. </p> <p> 1-2 With black, white and olive. I just got this jacket. I have been looking for quite awhile for one that fit properly. Is it a keeper? Also white blouse, black belt and my leopard print and silver studded Sam Edelmann flats.</p> <p>3-4 With leopard accents and orange.</p> <p>5 With stripes and dark accents.</p> <p>6-7 She suggests weighty fabrics for your top half and mid to heavy-weight sweaters and cardigans. Also using chocolate brown, gray and white accents in the scarf. This looks a little dowdy to me but, hay, I'm practicing, right?</p> <p>8 With denim. She suggests amping the chic factor by adding an interesting belt, scarf, bangles, necklace etc. I added bangles, mixed metal necklace and my leopard flats.</p> <p>9 With black. I have this drape neck top from BR that is super comforable and I rather like this simple look with my chain link necklace and leopard flats.</p> <p>How'd I do? Comments and suggestions always welcome. </p>
