Why? You look so fab! I think black and white looks crisp and striking on you and I even prefer the boots with this outfit, even though you are probably longing for spring. I wear my flats bare footed (unless I'm going to volunteer-bah!) and read recently how it's a crime to were knee-highs with ballet flats, but I think Angie recently mentioned that hose and even socks with sandals are trending! That scares me. And you know Ines wears her loafers with socks. The pictures in the book show ballet flats sockless, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-challenge-wiw-tuesday-neutrals#post-535334 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:50:54 +0000 Vicki 535334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your styling here, Nancy, and it's one of my favorites. I love the boots for the romantic punk vibe (good one, Amy!), and, yet the flats work, too. As for committing a crime, I don't usually wear socks or nude nylons with my ballet flats (I didn't get the memo from my French sisters), but I do have them, when needed. Just in case, I'm super cold or I feel I need to wear something on my feet, the look is a nude that wouldn't be noticeable. I don't think I could get away with black socks and flats. You look really good in your neutrals challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-challenge-wiw-tuesday-neutrals#post-534063 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:31:28 +0000 rae 534063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah! Popped collar and boots look SO FAB together! Better than the flats, IMO. I agree with Amy: very romantic punk. And leaving the shirt open down to the waist was genius - great deep V shape in the front. This strong b/w combo is awesome on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-challenge-wiw-tuesday-neutrals#post-534057 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:25:14 +0000 Sunita 534057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both looks are great! I'd have worn the boots for warmth anyway, but I often wear hose with my ballet flats (usually a darkish brown for my red or leopard ones and black or off black for my grey, snakeskin, or black flats). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-challenge-wiw-tuesday-neutrals#post-534045 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:19:02 +0000 Kirti 534045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the look with the boots! And to answer your question, all women in France wear black hose with their flats in autumn and winter and it looks pretty good. I wear socks sometimes, but it isn't as stylish or sleek, it is on the frumpy side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-challenge-wiw-tuesday-neutrals#post-533995 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:48:48 +0000 Mochi 533995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!!!</p> <p>Question: I wanted to wear black trouser socks with the flats (I don't yet own any clear, nude or whateveryoucallit trouser socks) but I thought I would be committing some heinous Fashion Sin. Do women ever (stylishly) wear hose or thin socks with flats? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-challenge-wiw-tuesday-neutrals#post-533989 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:45:45 +0000 goldenpig 533989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, love the boots--perfect for your romantic punk look. Cool necklace! The Giveable flats look great for warm weather (I have some too in different colors). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-challenge-wiw-tuesday-neutrals#post-533985 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:44:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 533985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great look on you Mochi - I'm still looking for my perfect white button down shirt. This one looks fabulous on you! I love the flats but I also understand/like the boots. Gorgeous necklace. You are rockin' this neutral challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-challenge-wiw-tuesday-neutrals#post-533984 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:43:59 +0000 kellygirl 533984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab flats and uber fab boots. You look great in both, Mochi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-challenge-wiw-tuesday-neutrals#post-533982 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:41:32 +0000 Amy 533982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Mochi, you look totally hip. I love those flats, but the boots really work with the romantic punk look you were talking about. They're great! Pretty necklace too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-challenge-wiw-tuesday-neutrals#post-533975 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:38:40 +0000 Mochi 533975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First pic is what I would have liked to wear...if it were warmer. </p> <p>Foxcroft blouse<br /> Gap 1969 skinny jeans<br /> J. Crew knit top<br /> Giveable flats (switched to Bandolino boots I will actually be wearing out)<br /> an old necklace of mine that's silvery mother-of-pearl</p> <p>When does this challenge end? </p>
