There's a hint of the stylin' sufragette about this, more than stiff schoolmarm, to my eye --- I think the boots suggest more 'stride': <a href="http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/cph.3c05340/" rel="nofollow">http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/cph.3c05340/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-811421 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 03:13:18 +0000 Tricia 811421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those BOOTS!

I agree that the coat's buttons (and the coolness of the boots) help to make it feel intentional and proportioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-811416 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 03:09:26 +0000 Sveta 811416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are some serious boots!<br /> Love the whole outfit, proportions and all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-811410 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 03:05:46 +0000 Beth Ann 811410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these proportions and the military/period look! Of course, you look like you're bundled for Chicago! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-811253 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 00:58:14 +0000 Diana 811253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab! I love how deliberate the long layering looks here. I'm usually kind of meh on longer skirts+tall boots looks (I like to see a little leg), but that is not the case at all here! I think your skirt is long enough and slim enough that there's some hint of leg there anyway, KWIM? And of course the boots are just awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-811245 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 00:52:24 +0000 catgirl 811245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear hats all the time with my short hair - they have to be a certain style (slouchy or newsboy) but so much fun and so easy in winter! Need to see more of them on you. I just bought another one today on the way back from court... Accessories don't count in my 12x12! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-811144 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 22:17:18 +0000 rae 811144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! I'm glad it works to your eyes. I suspect the placement of the buttons on the coat helps. Una, I have not worn hats much in the past because I thought they looked really dumb with my long hair flattened out the back... lik instant mullet. I like my hats way better now! Niefern, i agree! I want to wear them with tights and shorts on a warmer day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-811140 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 22:14:11 +0000 Angie 811140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! The proportions are fun, different and work. Love that coat :)</p> <p>You look SO ADORABLE IN THAT HAT I could eat you up. </p> <p>*chomp, chomp, chomp* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-811129 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 22:01:03 +0000 Nicole D 811129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It works.

Have I seen you in a hat before? I used to wear this look quite often, not so much deliberately but more by default back in the late 90s when long skirts were everywhere. My only issue is that the long skirt/long boots can't constrain my legs or I get crazy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-811055 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:32:20 +0000 annagybe 811055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-811051 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 20:30:27 +0000 Day Vies 811051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the boots and the coat. It seems like a nod to military styling. The red scarf is just the right detail. Are those boots patent? Either way I love the color. Fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-811027 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:36:28 +0000 rae 811027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Claudia, that is so fun! Hers are actually the original AD boots, but I am glad to know she has them - off to troll her blog for some outfit inspiration now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-811007 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 19:19:58 +0000 Claudia 811007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you seen these same boots on Sea of Shoes blogger?</p> <p><a href="http://seaofshoes.typepad.com/sea_of_shoes/2009/09/plushy-love.html" rel="nofollow">http://seaofshoes.typepad.com/.....-love.html</a></p> <p>They are super cool.

And soooooooo much love for those boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-810979 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:43:46 +0000 Anonymous 810979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I WISH I could find those boots in my size! I like this look a lot, Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-over-long-over-long#post-810978 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:42:28 +0000 rae 810978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Edit: I went down to do some laundry and realized I still had my camera in my pocket! I snapped a couple more shots before my neighbors could see me - still not the best ever, but I've replaced the original photo with some that show the details more clearly.<br /> ********</p> <p>I've worn this exact same outfit three times now, trying to get a decent WIW photo. As you can see, my efforts continue to be thwarted! Wind, static, light, camera troubles, unwilling photographers... this is as good as it gets for now. :T</p> <p>Anyway, this outfit uses different proportions for me: a long coat over a long skirt over long boots. I was worried that it looked stupid, but DH actually assured me that it was cool in an old-timey school marm kind of way - and more interestingly, that description did not put me off! The outfit is cozy and feels unexpected, which I like. </p> <p>You can barely see them, but those are my new, triple-lace boots under there. People compliment them wherever I go. :D</p> <p>Marc New York coat - ebay<br /> Red scaft - gift from sister<br /> Donna Karan Signature cashmere skirt - flea market<br /> Chocolat Blu "Miah" boots - modelshoerenew.com<br /> Ted Baker bag - flea market<br /> Fleece lined tights - ebay<br /> (hidden) navy pullover - Nordstrom Rack </p>
