My favorites are those with cream jeans and all olive ones :)<br />And your hair is awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new/page/2#post-2218633 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 00:43:52 +0000 CarolS 2218633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Thanks SO MUCH to all of you for the overwhelmingly kind comments. I know this was a lot, and I appreciate you taking the time to look and share your thoughts.</b></p> <p><b>CocoLion</b> - I hope you'll share photos of your version of the twinset. I hope the yellow Docs get some wear this year!</p> <p><b>Suntiger </b>- thank you. I do feel good in both cream and olive!</p> <p><b>Suz </b>- yep, Winners for the win. I have to admit I'm pretty excited about the skirt.&nbsp;I like nothing better than finding something that costs little but reads like more. :-)</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Angie</b>! I especially appreciate the nods to the camo outfits which are the most "out there" of this bunch for me.</p> <p><b>SF</b> -- I couldn't compete with your fabulous "jump" pose, but I did want to try to make things interesting to look at (and find the most flattering angles!) Glad they made you smile!</p> <p><b>Echo</b> - I think 9 and 10 are my faves, too. And the olive is making me pretty happy. :-)</p> <p><b>Slim cat</b>&nbsp; and <b>Star</b> - Long live the long cardigan. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Rachy </b>-- blush. Thanks.</p> <p><b>Synne</b> -- Diagnose away! I don't really know much about Kibbe, other than seeing the term here on the forum a few times. I know I've enjoyed seeing your outfits, but now I'll keep a different eye out trying to think about that style descriptor.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Bijou</b> -- thank you, and done. Cream sweater was final sale and I can't imagine why I would return the skirt. I didn't know I needed it until I had it in my hand.</p> <p><b>PP</b> -- yes, I do have a lighter cardi that might also work, and I will definitely explore softer options. The black tee/black cardi "twinset" is a comfort zone for me -- and sometimes I just like the "toughness" of all black. Wanted to play that out with the camo pants and new combat boots. But I do love the justaposition of the softer sweaters with the "tough" pants and boots.</p> <p><b>Shevia</b> -- thanks for the hair love! I would not have imagined myself buying camo anything, quite frankly. Was not on my radar. And then the green jacket happened...</p> <p><b>Vildy, Firecracker&nbsp;</b>-- thank you for the affirmation on the stripes!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b> -- Thank you! Earth tones 4-evah!</p> <p><b>Janet </b>- thanks for the love to the camo with the yellow boots. It's so interesting to see how different looks resonate with different people!</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Helena</b> -- I think I said it already, but I was pretty excited about the cream/toffee mix. (and now I am also hungry, for some reason LOL!)</p> <p><b>RobinF</b> - thank you. I thought the yellow boots might be a way to be a bit playful with the camo, and it sounds like it succeeded!</p> <p><b>Bonnie, Jonesy</b> -- thanks for the kind words!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new/page/2#post-2218566 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 18:53:45 +0000 CocoLion 2218566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #4 -- the yellow Docs are so fun and stylish.</p> <p>Also love your twinset idea with the utility jacket.&nbsp; I'm going to copy that idea.</p> <p>These are ALL great outfit concepts, you've got SKILLZ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new/page/2#post-2218555 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 18:23:43 +0000 Anonymous 2218555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great!

Your poses made me smile </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218513 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 16:59:06 +0000 CarolS 2218513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still need to come back this evening when I can respond to all the comments, but I need to give a shoutout to Carla for the "Maude" reference! <b>I loved it, </b>and the spate of comments for (and against) long cardigans that ensued!&nbsp;</p> <p>A few years ago, I bought a couple of long vests to hide my increasing girth, and those for sure made me feel like my high school French teacher. Mrs. Little was a large woman who had an endless supply of pantsuits with long vests covering her ample bosom! That truly was my "Maude" period. :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218504 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 16:42:10 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2218504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in all of these, Carol. All keepers in my view. And, yes, definitely, you can wear stripes. In fact, 3, 8, 13, and 14 are among my favorites. 9 and 10 are another couple of standouts. The one I'm least excited about is your fall-back outfit in 6, but I think it's just that the colors other than black you've shown here are more appealing to me near your face. The twinset is super fab, and I can see why you love the black ponte pants, which also look really great. It's exciting that you are able to pull out some old favorites from pre-pandemic and mix them with new pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218499 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 16:33:48 +0000 Jonesy 2218499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well...I have no suggestions because everything looks fab! I love your white denim--yay for shopping your closet! Love, love, love all of the olive! Love the yellow boots (and other lace-up boots!)! The pattern mixing! And your hair and glasses combo is excellent! You have a strong personal style and everything looks very cohesive and fab. </p> <p>Thanks for putting in all of this work and sharing everything!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218494 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 16:25:25 +0000 CarolS 2218494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Lisa -- the skirt is from Winners Polo Park. I think long cardigans are great too. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>Heading over to peek at your WIW now! Hoping to see those sneakers in action....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218488 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 15:56:18 +0000 Anonymous 2218488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Which store did you find the skirt at? &nbsp;And, for the record, I think long cardigans are great &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218487 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 15:40:20 +0000 Bonnie 2218487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice set of outfits. Keep and wear!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218451 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 12:57:46 +0000 RobinF 2218451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all of these! I'm a fan of long cardigans in spite of Maude. I admit the first one I had did give me some of those vibes but after I got used to it I loved it and now have 3 or 4. My favorite looks are the ones with the white jeans - so cute on you. And I love the yellow boots. I never would think to combine with olive but works so well.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218447 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 12:52:18 +0000 Helena 2218447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, one better than the next. You've got awesome style!! Extra love for the tonal looks, which you absolutely knocked out of the park .. the cream and toffee one is so luxe ... And of course I can't resist a good stripe ... I take it back, I can't pick a fave! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218445 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 12:44:37 +0000 CarolS 2218445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everyone, for the supportive comments and feedback!

You look great and have a wonderful smile. I love #4 the best but also really like the skirt on you too. Like Carla, I’m not a big long cardigan (or any cardigan) fan, but that’s my personal bias — you wear it as well as anyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218429 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:51:14 +0000 Brooklyn 2218429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all. Especially the olive outfits. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218427 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:42:43 +0000 Vildy 2218427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with everyone on your strong personal style throughline!&nbsp;<br />Favorite outfit is #8.&nbsp; Wow.&nbsp; Not to worry about the beloved horizontal stripes, either.&nbsp; The beauty of those is that they can bend around&nbsp;<br />curves and so you look sexy/voluptuous and not chunky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218425 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 11:38:27 +0000 Jaime 2218425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are fantastic! Well first off your hair looks fabulous. I see why you love the wide ponte knit pants - but all of these look amazing. Even the camo, and I am not usually a big fan of camo. Sorry, but you must keep it all ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218410 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 09:41:07 +0000 Preppy Pear 2218410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair is fabulous! So pretty!</p> <p>I don’t know that I’d return anything- you look so good in all of it, yes, the cream sweater too. Wow! Very, very stylish. Olive and cream both suit you well. Boots and cognac sneakers are great! </p> <p>I like long cardis a lot. I wonder if you might want to try a different color tee or cardi to break up the black here a bit?But I don’t wear black so take that with a grain of salt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218407 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 08:02:15 +0000 Bijou 2218407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Kelly I am wowed by your style and think you look fabulous in everything. Only return items you don't love BUT you must keep the black skirt and entire cream outfit as they are standout pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218402 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 06:37:43 +0000 Synne 2218402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Yes, you look great! (And interesting, creative, fun, cool!) My favourite outfits are 1-4. Fun addition with the bright yellow/mustard shoes! I like the column of colors best, of course. The utility look really suits you. You must be a Kibbe Natural like Style Fan and Jenn (and me!), if I may throw diagnoses around </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218398 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 06:06:08 +0000 Star (Lise) 2218398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You looking fabulous!&nbsp; 6 through to 12 as well as 14 are my favorites.&nbsp; Love the long lean cardi look the most. (PS:&nbsp; I only read other comments after I wrote mine.&nbsp; I seriously do not think the cardi is covering you up, rather it elongates your already fab taller look even more.&nbsp; No Maude vibes whatsoever, if I remember correctly her cardis were very chunky.)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218393 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 05:30:17 +0000 rachylou 2218393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy, you got good hair(!) Anyways, I’m not sure what we’re discussing here - all these outfits are adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218385 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 04:10:02 +0000 slim cat 2218385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks - I like all of them! Cool and fun mixing - great hair and smile &nbsp;.<br />P.S. I like long black cardigan - used to have something similar and may get one again ( wasn't watching that TV show - so no association whatsoever ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-outfit-lab-blending-old-and-new#post-2218382 Mon, 23 Aug 2021 03:21:58 +0000 Echo 2218382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing! I adore #9 &amp; 10, and the first "twinset" looks great. That's a great camo/army green capsule that blends beautifully with your lighter neutrals. And the trumpet skirt is fab.&nbsp; </p>
