I like #6 as well. Love the casual texture of the fabrics but the silhouette makes it look a bit more dressed up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mondays-wiw-2#post-1311715 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 02:33:03 +0000 E 1311715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, that makes a lot more sense (re: how tall boots &amp; skinnies look in your environment). Let's see...vests come to mind as something to try. I really love both the jacket &amp; low slung belt you'd done here. I'll think it over &amp; see if anything else springs to mind as far as how to keep it you and not too trendy/fashionable. I'm drawing a blank at the moment!</p> <p>How about trying a cream skirt? You could always do a brown belt/brown shoes to tie in with your hair. Just a thought. Although I'm not sure how that would work with your column of colour preferences (outer, right?). You do have a cardigan though! So your capsule is already pretty much set! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mondays-wiw-2#post-1310869 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 14:28:02 +0000 Alassë 1310869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, E. Tall boots &amp; skinnies is considered a fashion look around here, and I usually don't like to be thought of as daring... retro, maybe, but not "fashionable."&nbsp;</p> <p>Styling suggestions... I meant if you had any more brilliant ideas of a silhouette/pairing that you thought would be similar to/a bit of a stretch for my style, like your tied blouse + shorts idea.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't have any cream inhibitions - just try to be careful and wash more often. I always have cream tops (summer, fall, &amp; winter weight), and I have the cream knee-length shorts. Plus always a cream cardigan. What else were you thinking of? I was afraid an all-white look might not be cohesive&nbsp;on a dark-haired person (definitely good on light-haired people). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mondays-wiw-2#post-1310248 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 21:18:32 +0000 E 1310248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look excellent, as always! The longer cord length doesn't bother me, but I'm not drawn to leg lengthening looks, so take that for what's it worth. I think it's a cute length.</p> <p>I'm so surprised to hear that tall boots &amp; skinnies&nbsp;is a departure for you! I think if you go equestrian, like you've shown here, you still look like 'you.' I'm not sure about other styling suggestions though, because I don't know what your closet contains. These all look stunning!</p> <p>And I heart your new purchase &amp; the styling too, obviously.</p> <p>(Re: other neutrals as potential capsule additions to your closet, I think a camel-y shade would be lovely, but I also think more cream would be just delicious, especially since you prefer high contrast, so it would play really well w your dark chocolate. Just throwing it out there: you might have reasons to keep cream to minimum, particularly as a mom with little ones!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mondays-wiw-2#post-1310146 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 19:20:22 +0000 Alassë 1310146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the spirit of fall planning, I'm adding my recent how-to-wear-trousers-with-tall-boots brainstorming. (It is a huge departure from my typical style, but I think an equestrian reference&nbsp;is the way to go.) If anyone has other ideas for how to make skinnies in boots work for my style, I'm all ears.</p> <p>Finally, I thought I'd show you my off-the-wagon purchase from July, styled a la E. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mondays-wiw-2#post-1310138 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 19:10:31 +0000 Alassë 1310138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We rejoiced in unseasonal cool temperature this past week, so the maxi skirt came out to play. I even got to wear closed toes shoes on one walk (#4)! In #8&nbsp;I didn't feel like the extra-thick roll to shorten the corduroys, though I know this length isn't the best.&nbsp;Sorry about the poor lighting in many of the shots.&nbsp;</p> <p>As always, comments and suggestions for improvement welcome! </p>
