I echo Firecracker. Looks great.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Outfit structure in the right places is our friend.</b> As much as we try to deny that in the spirit of trendy and avant-garde fashion - most of us come full circle and enjoy structure in our look. I've been working with clients long enough to stand behind that general thought process.&nbsp;</p> <p>YES. I had those flats years ago - and wore them into the ground. They were finished after a couple of years.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649487 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 11:14:16 +0000 Jjsloane 1649487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I like it and would wear this in a heartbeat. You may be on to something in your search for structure. I can't recall if I still have these shoes. I think Angie had them too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649457 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 06:00:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1649457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I missed the malaise post, but this is a great outfit. A bit of Parisian chic, with the stripes, the little jacket, and the ballet flats, non? Looks great on you, and you look comfortable in the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649405 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 03:24:22 +0000 Sally 1649405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit.&nbsp; Its something I might copy.&nbsp; I like the whole classic vibe and the pretty but simple shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649397 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 03:03:01 +0000 Jaime 1649397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crisp or structure or whatever, you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649389 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 02:46:21 +0000 Anonymous 1649389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - I really like this "new look" ! &nbsp;I'm much the same in that I feel best and prefer some degree of structure. &nbsp;Not crispness though...which to me is a very different thing. And I'm not getting crisp from this outfit, but I am getting structure. And the trim on the shoes is excellent with the striped tee </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649196 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 18:39:44 +0000 viva 1649196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit on you -- and the hair is really fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649134 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 17:09:07 +0000 Maneera 1649134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! If you know me at all, you'd already know I *love* the striped shirt:P </p> <p>But what REALLY stands out here is your pretty shoes. Really polished! Ok, now I want them too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649106 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 16:48:24 +0000 jill58 1649106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks terrific. The jacket with the striped tee is perfect. I don't think the flats look prissy at all--they just look well suited to the entire look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649091 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 16:35:54 +0000 Anonymous 1649091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your outfit is very well put together. Great job!</p> <p>I'm with Alaskagirl on the faux structure. I feel better in fabrics that have structure but with a bit of stretch. No reason to go stiff in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649040 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 15:58:41 +0000 kkards 1649040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm, I'm not sure I see structured. I see clean and tailored, a simple harmony in which each piece elevates the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649038 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 15:58:10 +0000 catgirl 1649038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me the key is "faux-structure" - like a tailored blazer in a knit fabric, or if woven, in a more draped avante-garde style.&nbsp; It is hard to get that balance just right! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649037 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 15:56:44 +0000 Mochi 1649037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianna, I also have barely worn the SW flats since buying them (after they were featured here, some years back). They look so great on Angie, and I was feeling they were prissy on *me*. Maybe I can work with them! They're also really comfortable.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649032 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 15:55:28 +0000 Mochi 1649032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right, Una? I need, and I love, structure. I also love unstructured or low-structured looks. I'm not sure they love me back...but also too structured doesn't work with me. I think the sweet spot for me is very tricky!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649026 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 15:49:29 +0000 catgirl 1649026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, maybe you need more structure than you thought because that's what I see here - more tailored and structured.&nbsp; Looks very clean classic and cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1649008 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 15:19:00 +0000 Anonymous 1649008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look really great! A little crisping and really excellent new hair and it's a whole new ball game! You look so pretty!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1648990 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 14:57:36 +0000 Tanya 1648990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this on you, Mochi!&nbsp;&nbsp; I especially like the effect of striped top with the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1648984 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 14:51:05 +0000 Janet 1648984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I like the way you combined the graphic stripes in the top with the two-tone shoes -- very clever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1648946 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 13:16:17 +0000 marianna 1648946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice... classic and chic with a bit of edge. I like it a lot.</p> <p>Ps - I have those SW flats too, haven't worn them in years. They look so nice on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1648929 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 12:23:51 +0000 Ledonna N. 1648929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic. This I really like the proportions are great. The new do really suits you. </p> <p>The rhyming was unintentional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/making-crisp-work-for-me#post-1648924 Sat, 23 Apr 2016 12:18:24 +0000 Mochi 1648924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought a lot about what people wrote in my post on outfit malaise, especially Angie's comments. </p> <p>I think this outfit is much more successful, and I feel great in it. (Probably the jacket will come off by noon--it's humid here.) </p> <p>Top: Boden</p> <p>Jeans: NYDJ</p> <p>Jacket: Anthro</p> <p>Shoes: Stuart Weitzman</p> <p>Xoxo </p>
