The only thing I would change are the nude shoes in 2-3. With a dark outfit, I'd need a dark shoe for balance, but maybe that's just me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1658103 Tue, 10 May 2016 15:41:52 +0000 krishnidoux 1658103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Anglie</b>, <b>El Cee</b>, <b>bonnie</b>, <b>Elle</b>: I am encouraged!

Your input facilitates the process greatly.<br />So outfit 1 is a winner all the way. I will start wearing it to work.<br />Your reaction to outfit 2 is most helpful too.<br /><b>bj111</b> I take note about a different top. I imagine you would like to see something slimmer. Also, your comment about the pant's length is eye-opening to me.<br /><b>shevia </b>I will try this one with a tucked top.<br /><b>Amy K.</b>, these Okalas are surprisingly comfortable! Although I admit, for hard core action movie activities it might be stretching it. <br /><b>Amy and Firecracker</b>, You made me realize that maybe it's the combination of both pull string hem AND ankle straps that is <i>too much.</i><br /><b>Rachylou</b>, thank you for your input. You have a point. It is something I hadn't thought of.<br /><b>Ledonna N</b>., would you go for a longer or shorter tee?<br /><b>Joy</b>, so useful to put a word on something and your comment is the proof. "quirky" was precisely what attracted me when I originally got those cargos from Roots in 2011, although I couldn't quite formulate it then. I had been living abroad in a House-Of-Cardish context, now starved for anything offbeat, artsy, yet sporty... but a voice inside was telling me (yelling) "these are WRONG for your shape".Nonetheless I got them, tried to wear them with flats for a while, and now it's being taken out of its storage blue bin every summer, put in a drawer and never worn. You are so correct in your assessment: they are quirky, that's their appeal. Except... now I don't know if I want to be quirky in that way anymore... lol!<br />Ok <b>Kellygirl</b>, <b>Diane</b>, you help me see better into that second outfit: bottom being too casual. And BTW I want to see you in a Dicte inspired outfit! :)<br /><b>Shannon</b>, I think we are sisters at heart, because we both love a certain disconnected aesthetic and we both like to apply it to sporty pieces contrasted with more conservative ones. You do it so well!Thank you for your input.&nbsp;<br /><b>BC</b> I want to see you in that formula!&nbsp;<br /><b>Mochi</b>, <b>RobinF</b>, <b>JAileen </b>thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1658081 Tue, 10 May 2016 15:25:54 +0000 Elle 1658081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all three! &nbsp;Great style. &nbsp;You can really carry off this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1658079 Tue, 10 May 2016 15:25:36 +0000 Bonnie 1658079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!

Both renditions are fabulous. You look very lovely with the loose, slightly tousled updo.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1658076 Tue, 10 May 2016 15:18:23 +0000 Angie 1658076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute all round. I like the way you tied up your hair too. Alluring.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1658059 Tue, 10 May 2016 14:53:50 +0000 Anonymous 1658059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it so much that you've inspired me to try that formula. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1658048 Tue, 10 May 2016 14:41:08 +0000 JAileen 1658048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1. I think the longer rolled pants and the shoes together is a great combo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657984 Tue, 10 May 2016 13:13:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1657984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is a no brainer - great combination. But I'll be the outlier here and say I really REALLY like the second outfit. I adore juxtaposition in an outfit and so really like the combination of the polished blazer and dressy/dainty shoe with the cargo pants. </p> <p>I'm liking this style direction you're looking at Krish and am looking forward to seeing more </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657970 Tue, 10 May 2016 12:41:35 +0000 RobinF 1657970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with #1! Great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657919 Tue, 10 May 2016 10:10:59 +0000 Anonymous 1657919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your new style direction! It's really suiting you Krish. I agree with Kellygirl about the pants in #2 I think the ties do make them skew a touch too casual for the jacket, so maybe tweak that look a little. I love how the Okalas bookend your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657915 Tue, 10 May 2016 09:43:57 +0000 Mochi 1657915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think 1 has great potential. Since I strive for balance between comfort and individual expression, I'm really looking forward to seeing your new direction evolve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657866 Tue, 10 May 2016 04:59:53 +0000 kellygirl 1657866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 a lot. It is casual but polished. I think the top half of 2 would work with a slightly more streamlined pant. I think the ties and pockets kind of skew too casual for that topper. Btw, I wore a Dichte inspired out fit today too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657860 Tue, 10 May 2016 04:50:49 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1657860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer 1 over 2-3; to me it looks more cohesive and effortless. I think Rachylou's point is a good one--I might prefer one polished piece rather than two, with the super casual looking pants. (The ties on the legs of the pants in 2 seem significant to me; they look a lot more casual--or soemthing? maybe quirky?--than the pants in 1.) I'm liking your new style direction, in any event. It is fun to see you experimenting on the Dicte-inspired look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657853 Tue, 10 May 2016 04:26:35 +0000 Anonymous 1657853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 best. When looking at 2/3, "quirky " came to mind. If that is what you are after, then 2/3 is your outfit. Either way, you look cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657850 Tue, 10 May 2016 04:17:06 +0000 Ledonna N. 1657850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 agree about 2 I think it's the top not the jacket. I want a different color and length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657808 Tue, 10 May 2016 02:29:20 +0000 rachylou 1657808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1. Ultra cool. 2-3 is also good, but I'm thinking either the jacket or the Okalas...just one polished piece... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657790 Tue, 10 May 2016 02:05:43 +0000 minimalist 1657790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 looks done. </p> <p>2-3 needs tweaking. Something about the contrast between the pants and Okalas is bothering me, although I generally enjoy mixed levels of formality. (Perhaps it's just that Dicte does so much running around in that show, that I can't fully imagine that character in these shoes?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657789 Tue, 10 May 2016 02:05:23 +0000 Jaime 1657789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up on these looks and your new direction. I agree the second top could be shorter, but I really like the contrast of the dainty okalas (or similar) with the cargo crops and they bookend your hair beautifully.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657785 Tue, 10 May 2016 02:00:10 +0000 bj1111 1657785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1. #2 could be good with a different top, it needs to hit you at a higher point on the leg. Try with the jacket open.</p> <p>Great necklaces </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-style-direction-1#post-1657780 Tue, 10 May 2016 01:55:43 +0000 krishnidoux 1657780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am changing. I tried on a new silhouette inspired by a Danish TV show (as posted yesterday) and it may be giving rise to a new style direction. I want comfort to come higher on the list of priorities.</p> <p>One formula could be this: </p> <p>cropped bottoms<br />+ cutesy shoes <br />+ "cool" tee, that is to say a kind of droopy slightly oversize tee in a soft material with subtle print <br />+ superposed dainty chains <br />+ fitted topper and hair loosely up.&nbsp;</p> <p>Acceptable or frumpy?<br />Do you like more 1 or 2-3?</p> <p>Thank you in advance for your input! </p>
