You have pulled off the tonal look with aplomb! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004661 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 03:53:42 +0000 kellygirl 1004661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback!. I think the light colors are the way to go--the more muted pastels. Chambray looked off to me and olive/denim looked to contrast-y to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>@lynD: Thank you.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Jjsloane and Angie: Thanks! I really love white out but thought it would be fun to mix it up some too.&nbsp;</p> <p>@Lisa: I think you are right about soft colors--I think my closet lacks those. That’s probably why I’m having such a block with these pants.</p> <p>@pil: Thanks! I’m just kidding about DD’s BF (sort of.) I joked that the Spiegel had a Terminator vibe :)</p> <p>@Suz: Thank you! I love the idea of a grey sweatshirt. I’m going to keep an eye out for one. It would transition well for fall :)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004592 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 01:42:03 +0000 Suz 1004592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them with the white tops, especially the Gap sweater (but I am biased on that subject, since I have the same one, LOL!) And I would LOVE to see these with grey. Even a grey sweatshirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004566 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 00:50:53 +0000 Nicola 1004566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not so fond of the button down shirt with them, but I like the others. White and semi tuck looks current and summery to me. I like the green too. I agree that grey could look good too - looks like there's grey in the print? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004563 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 00:40:22 +0000 pil 1004563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking how much I liked them with the second sweater in the first picture, not realizing it was *the* Gap sweater! The suggestions to try gray and olive sound good - is the *tougher* look what you want the boyfriend to see? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004558 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 00:35:04 +0000 Lisa 1004558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the softer looks here (ie everything except the button down shirt).&nbsp; But I am in a "soft slouchy mode" myself right now.&nbsp; The pattern is so light on these, I think any soft color will work, any pastel or grey, or maybe a denim jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004524 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 23:57:31 +0000 Angie 1004524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jeanne said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004499 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 23:04:43 +0000 Jjsloane 1004499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all the semituck looks here, but I am a whiteout freak. It looks fresh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004472 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 22:28:15 +0000 Lyn D. 1004472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the tucked pics.<br />The others are on to something- a darker solid on top might work well too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004461 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 21:53:03 +0000 kellygirl 1004461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Biscuitmom! Those are good colors to try.&nbsp;<br />@Una and Tex: I know, so sweeeet! It's too hot for the Spiegel. I tried the olive cargo, olive light weight army jacket, denim jacket, black oversized denim vest and they all looked off. I'll snap some pics later and see if it's just me. Thanks for the ideas. Perhaps, this will just be my sweet look--reserved for days that I don't see DD's new BF. LOL! </p> <p>ETA: I think the foot wear is a limiting factor too. Right now, these are the only shoes that I can wear besides my Frye Carsons.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004456 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 21:39:15 +0000 texstyle 1004456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of gray with these too. I like them best in these iterations&nbsp;with the mesh sweater and the tucked button down. I agree with Una that maybe something to toughen them up. Do you have an olive vest? Or maybe your black vest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004453 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 21:34:10 +0000 catgirl 1004453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd have to toughen these up with black or grey... Spiegel jacket? Or seasonally confused? Denim jacket? Olive/military? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004449 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 21:22:53 +0000 biscuitsmom 1004449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are so cute on you! Have you tried a solid grey, blue, navy or tan? Give it a try </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/problematic-pants#post-1004448 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 21:20:30 +0000 kellygirl 1004448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still love these jeans but am having trouble re-mixing them. I'm wearing them with the Gap mesh sweater today (first photo, second from left)&nbsp;but have only worn it with the plain tee (photo 2.) I had planned on wearing them with the Boutique 9 peep toes but those aren't in the cards yet--same goes with the&nbsp;blush moto vest (the color clashes with the cognac sandals.)&nbsp;&nbsp;What do you think of these other iterations? Any other ideas? &nbsp;Chambray was a no go too--I think my shirt is too dark of a blue.&nbsp;TIA. </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: Hope these photos don't give you a toothache. They are on the sweet side, eh?</p>
