I might have chosen different footwear. And been cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-14-11-03-layering-with-culottes-jfe#post-1389558 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 12:37:20 +0000 Elizabeth P 1389558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!&nbsp; Sorry, I accidentally did another "post and fall asleep".&nbsp; Which is really not such a bad thing...</p> <p>Suz, I've been trying to figure out the answer to your question :).&nbsp; One of my favourite expressions is "there's no such thing as bad weather, just improper clothing".&nbsp; Which brings us full circle...</p> <p>I think the bookending/balancing of my hair is going to be a life long struggle.&nbsp; I DO have white booties, and someday hope to get some silver ones, so can march those out when appropriate.&nbsp; I have got rid of lighter colours like browns/beiges and grey in my closet, as those colours are not my best, and am not going back.&nbsp; Perhaps with culottes I need to keep to booties to show some leg (on days that are warmer, or colder and I intend to change shoes at work).&nbsp; So the reality of my life is lots of black boots, and I'll have to work on strategies to not always look too dark on bottom.&nbsp; I definitely sometimes feel it's too much.&nbsp; Last year I figured out how to break it up with textured or coloured tights, but that doesn't work here.</p> <p>And funny enough, when I saw the first couple of comments by Suz and Jackie last night, my first thought was "What would Deborah do?" with all her black, and lovely blonde hair. And I told myself I'd go back through some of her winter WIW's to see.&nbsp; So thanks for chiming in Deborah, and I'm glad you like it as is.&nbsp; </p> <p>So I will always take suggestions on this bookending issue!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-14-11-03-layering-with-culottes-jfe#post-1389479 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 10:22:16 +0000 Deborah 1389479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going against the tide:). I like the black, boots here. The way they continue the leg line looks good to me. I like how this works... A lot </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-14-11-03-layering-with-culottes-jfe#post-1389363 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 05:01:12 +0000 Neel 1389363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol@Suz! I ask the same question during our terrible horrible peak summer days!</p> <p>Elizabeth ... You clearly need white boots :D. But this is plenty flattering and works well IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-14-11-03-layering-with-culottes-jfe#post-1389334 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 04:09:27 +0000 kellygirl 1389334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome culottes! JFE, for sure. You look amazing in cobalt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-14-11-03-layering-with-culottes-jfe#post-1389322 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 03:59:33 +0000 Sveta 1389322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Suz said - down to the last rhetorical question! :-0<br />Although no rain for 2 days &nbsp;- AND NO SNOW YET! What I am complaining about?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-14-11-03-layering-with-culottes-jfe#post-1389196 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 02:02:20 +0000 jackiec 1389196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - for sure JFE - but I do agree with Suz - but again I totally get the weather. We are absolutely SWAMPED today...rain rain rain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-14-11-03-layering-with-culottes-jfe#post-1389191 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 02:00:17 +0000 Suz 1389191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what? I think it's flattering enough but would be more flattering if there was some lightness on the bottom -- i.e. booties vs. boots, or skin between culotte and boot. This to balance the white tunic and your gorgeous hair. And face.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I also know the issue. How to stay warm with bare (or almost bare) skin???&nbsp;</p> <p>Why do we live in this country, Elizabeth? I ask you-- why????? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-14-11-03-layering-with-culottes-jfe#post-1389188 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 01:56:59 +0000 Elizabeth P 1389188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if this is JFE or plain ole NF.&nbsp; But it was sooo comfortable! </p> <p>Zara white tunic top<br />Zara culottes<br />Costco sweater<br />Valdini boots.</p> <p>Comments and suggestions for improvements welcome!&nbsp; And wanted... </p>
