Cute with the boots too. Try your vintage long navy coat over the lot as opposed to the short red high contrast puffer. Or a short dark topper to keep the long vertical line.&nbsp;</p> <p>The burgundy tights and guitar strap look great too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-joy%e2%80%99s-little-challenges-i-stand-corrected#post-2163439 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 13:41:56 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2163439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Close-ups of fabric in the pants &amp; dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-joy%e2%80%99s-little-challenges-i-stand-corrected#post-2163434 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 13:08:02 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2163434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea, RL! I’ve had this dress since my son was in 7th grade, bought it while recovering from surgery because it didn’t graze the stitches, don’t think I ever wore it again in the Sunshine State. It is turning out to be the most versatile thing ever. Thanks for unlocking one more adventure with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-joy%e2%80%99s-little-challenges-i-stand-corrected#post-2163433 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 11:27:53 +0000 rachylou 2163433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress over the pants! Have you tried the dress over a top with a collar? I feel that could be a cute look... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-joy%e2%80%99s-little-challenges-i-stand-corrected#post-2163431 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 10:32:06 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2163431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, so funny how colors show up differently on monitors. The dress has a couple shades of grey and black, while the pants are all black with texture. The bomber jacket and burgundy boots are the only bits of brown in these pix, but those are further in; I think you meant the first photo.<br /> I’ve not heard of skirts with snow pants, will have to ask my mother what she &amp; her friends wore with their skirts, skating on the river through their Wisconsin town. She’s in her 80s, so this would be a few years before what you’re remembering.<br /> Thanks for commenting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-joy%e2%80%99s-little-challenges-i-stand-corrected#post-2163368 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 00:04:27 +0000 Anonymous 2163368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits for your time outside, but I like the first one best. You can wear pants with a skirt or sure. The first outfit looks like dark brown and black on my monitor. Pants with a dress or skirt is a good idea and something I have not tried. It reminds me of being a kid and having to wear snow pants with a dress as no females wore pants nor was there such a thing as tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-joy%e2%80%99s-little-challenges-i-stand-corrected#post-2163352 Fri, 01 Jan 2021 21:41:47 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2163352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On Joy’s challenge post about dressing in black and white (or other neutrals), I responded that I wouldn’t participate, but was looking forward to watching. Well! I took a look at recent outfit pix and lo and behold, what do you think I’m wearing? A black jumper, with a black cardi, and black bell-bottoms. I have a tendency to build little mini-capsules and swap the pieces around until I’m sick of them, so that’s what you’ve got in these pix. </p> <p>I’d love to hear what you think. It is my first-ever attempt at wearing a dress over pants. The pants + leather jacket was for my walk (a couple miles) on New Year’s Eve. I tried it with red (in silhouette) and metallic boots, but the tall black combat boots unfortunately were not fully healed on their recent visit to the shoe clinic and need to go back, as soon as lockdown is over. The plaza shown was packed with revelers last year, but guarded by cops this year. Most of my time I was in Kreuzberg, where police broke up large gatherings, so I just saw small bunches of people. Still, the fireworks went on and on and on. </p>
