I've already begun searching for boots, I agree that the red would look great with tan.</p> <p>Thanks Kim! You have all the possibilities with white, I can understand why you can't decide. Will you post some pics when you have decided? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-702139 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:53:47 +0000 Queen Mum 702139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ooh, these look great! I have a pair of white skinnies that I want to dye, but can't decide on a color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-702138 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 18:51:28 +0000 Scarlet 702138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this yesterday but didn't get to comment till now--LOVE. The combination of the skinnies, jacket, scarf, and boots (and your hair!) is just so right. These would look great with your future brown boots too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701815 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 13:04:23 +0000 Astrid 701815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks to you all! :)</p> <p>@Geargirl<br /> Thanks, I will be careful.</p> <p>@JR<br /> That's certainly true. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701524 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 23:55:09 +0000 JR 701524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The high contrast is wonderful. We don't wear red in any shade to be muted now, do we? But red and black are such a classic combination, it in no way looks over the top.</p> <p>Love the scarf... ;o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701491 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 23:20:46 +0000 Transcona Shannon 701491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FANTASTIC! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701372 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:11:17 +0000 Suz 701372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic idea, Astrid!! Now you get to enjoy them for another season. They turned out really well! And they'll work into your wardrobe brilliantly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701359 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:52:04 +0000 texstyle 701359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks SO GOOD! Love the color with your hair and coloring - and tan or caramel boots would be very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701356 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:48:35 +0000 geargirl 701356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look amazing!<br /> Do beware though, dye will often bleed for several washes,<br /> so wash in cold separately! Washing with vinegar is supposed to help, but be careful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701353 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:44:28 +0000 Mona 701353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, the skinnies look so cute.

I think I'm going to wear them more often now.</p> <p>@Ornella<br /> I still have them. I wanted to keep them at least until it got colder and I could see if I'd get use out of them then. </p> <p>@Claire<br /> They definitely feel more me now! They were a bit too bright before, too overwhelming.</p> <p>@Mo<br /> I used Simplicol Dark Red (2635). Not sure if that's available near you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701342 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:24:13 +0000 Heather 701342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant, Astrid!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701316 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:49:52 +0000 Mo 701316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I ask what dye you used for these? I have closer to tomato red skinnies that I would like to bring down to a deeper red after seeing the success you had with yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701307 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:39:39 +0000 qfbrenda 701307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look great!

These turned out fabulously! I love the brick-y red color of them. They look spectacular with your coloring and with this outfit. Does this shade seem more in line with your personality than the hot pink? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701301 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:35:11 +0000 Ornella 701301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great result - it looks like deep, beautiful, rich red color. </p> <p>I love the outfit with these boots - very autumn/winter.</p> <p>You mentioned the skinnies a friend gave you a while back after her wardrobe clearout - I know you had some concerns so maybe you got rid of them in the meantime, but this proves just how great skinnies look tucked in the tall boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701296 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:31:15 +0000 harmonica 701296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are rockin' skinnies!

My oxfords really go with everything because they bookend my hair and I think this would be true for boots too. I'll definitely try them with my other shoes too, but I like to have something a bit more substantial on my feet when I'm wearing skinnies without a tunic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701213 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:00:18 +0000 celia 701213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I was thinking that tan might booked with your hair nicely.<br /> I think you could also wear the skinnies with flats or your oxfords. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701212 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 17:58:26 +0000 Astrid 701212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Celia. No, that's my only pair. I plan to buy another pair soon, I'm thinking about grey or maybe tan? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701209 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 17:56:51 +0000 celia 701209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks pretty good to me.I don't mind the contrast.<br /> Do you have other boot options we can see? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-new-skinnies#post-701202 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 17:51:07 +0000 Astrid 701202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday I dyed my pink skinnies dark red. It was the first time I dyed anything, but it went well. And I love how it turned out! It's a very rich dark red, not as dark as some of the wines or burgundies in the stores at the moment, but very pretty all the same. The color was hard to capture, I'll try it again tomorrow in daylight. </p> <p>I prefer to wear skinnies with boots, so I photographed them with my black ones. Is the contrast too high or does this work? </p>
