I do love the silhouette of the heel and pointy toes... I need a few more pointed toe shoes...</p> <p>Thanks to everyone for your input.. will try the nude pumps next time around! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polk-a-dots-and-paisley-in-burgundy#post-1041906 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:05:09 +0000 Lyn D. 1041906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I like the contrasting shoes, although they steal the eye away from your lovely dotty sweater. I might try nude here.<br />The pants are great, and look like they are cosy for cooler weather too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polk-a-dots-and-paisley-in-burgundy#post-1041905 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:02:51 +0000 Karie 1041905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not too sure about the shoe color, but I love the dotty top! The necklace and purse both look fab with the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polk-a-dots-and-paisley-in-burgundy#post-1041870 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 20:37:02 +0000 Anonymous 1041870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute outfit, I think the shoe colour doesn't work but love the silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polk-a-dots-and-paisley-in-burgundy#post-1041814 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:59:05 +0000 Anonymous 1041814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look from top to toe. And FWIW, I always say burgundy and always have done, or maroon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polk-a-dots-and-paisley-in-burgundy#post-1041798 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:24:43 +0000 rachylou 1041798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eeeee! Omg. I LOVE this outfit. Totally modern and fresh. Matching would have been *wrong,* I think; contradict the modern thing you have going here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polk-a-dots-and-paisley-in-burgundy#post-1041788 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 17:15:30 +0000 kkards 1041788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the sweater and the pants are great. i like the shoes, and i'm suprised by that because i'm such a matchy-matchy person. i love the pointy toe, and the low heel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polk-a-dots-and-paisley-in-burgundy#post-1041669 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:04:29 +0000 Deborah 1041669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is cute, and from what I have seen that sweater is very on trend. The burgundy suits you Tracey, it's really flattering. The only think I would question is the shoes. They look grey in the photo and they are just a little too much of a contrast for me, but that is just my personal preference. Great outfit, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/polk-a-dots-and-paisley-in-burgundy#post-1041664 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:58:16 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1041664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Standing my ground and calling this color Burgundy!!! Can't stand that other name currently being used... I know I am being silly but, it is what it is! &nbsp;If you had a child that visibly winced for years when he heard the word "blood" maybe it would make more sense...Trying to justify that I am not crazy and come by it honestly and laughing at myself right now!&nbsp;</p> <p>On to the outfit! &nbsp;I scored these corduroy paisley embossed skinnies online on clearance and couldn't be happier... I bought them in green too! Limiting my mulitiple addiction to just TWO! &nbsp;DH could not stop complimenting these pants! He said it was the color and the fit and I got a kick out of showing him the other color, which is a favorite for my 1st generation Irish-American man!&nbsp;</p> <p>I thought about pairing this with my nude pumps, but resisted the matchy-match tendency. &nbsp;My pumps are round toed and I prefered the pointed to of these.. Then I am not sure it was pure laziness or again resistiing the matching, but I opted to use the brown purse instead of swapping out for the Aigner in matching tan and burgundy...I like the result but wonder if the wisdom of my dear YLF community would agree it &nbsp;was a good move, or not?</p> <p>One more thing, I originally planned on wearing this without a necklace, but really felt something was missing. I think the plain silver tassel created a much needed vertical line that visually aided my petite height! I find myself doing this alot with both necklaces and scarves.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
