But all those have gone but these stay. The pleats are interesting as the openings go towards each other and create a large inverted V instead of having pleats that lay on top of each other and only 'open' when I sit. At least, that is my impression of why they seem to work and all other pleats look silly. </p> <p>Aida- yes yes, keep saying about the shoe....got the image in my head but find it hard to find the actual bootie I want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-501313 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:46:58 +0000 Amy 501313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Jayne, you look amazing. I'm so jealous that you can wear pleated trousers! I love your quilted jacket too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-501269 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:09:02 +0000 sarah 501269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-501121 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:02:49 +0000 Aida 501121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #1 and #3, though I want to see a dark shoe with those I think #2 may look better with the turtleneck to play up the 70s vibe of the furry vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500913 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:23:47 +0000 jayne 500913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 5 6" but I think I look y'all because of the camera angle...I have it lower </p> <p>Look 2. I have now posted the alternate with a fur vest I am working on...I got a coat from my mother many years ago and have been slowly taking it apart to use in other pieces...just cannot throw it out.</p> <p>Anyway, posted look 3 which was what happened when I went looking for elegant shoes and happened on the sales....<br /> No shoes though..but a leather jacket had been on the list for a long time</p> <p>.I am not sure the look is still elegant but I actually felt more me in this...biker chick at heart? I also like alot the v neck version of the sweater so missvee was right on about that!</p> <p>Rachylou. the boots are booties with grey background and white/cream/grey flowers. I am officially a fashion victim for wearing them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500821 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 17:37:47 +0000 rachylou 500821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, very classic looking! I always like this kind of look. You can go everywhere in it; it'll never fail you. I agree about different shoes. But are these like a snakeskin pattern? Boots? (Hard for me to tell.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500795 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 17:19:30 +0000 catgirl 500795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look so tall (how tall are you?) and elegant. Interesting that the pants are that old - I see pants like that in thrift stores sometimes and always wish I had the figure to fit them (small waist!)... they are really trendy again right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500743 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:41:18 +0000 jayne 500743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey thanks everyone. </p> <p>Isis, the pants are about 15 years old and at least one size too big but I love them so much I just add a belt and wear them anyway...us pears love to find a pant that skims and not squeezes</p> <p>I will try them again with an open shirt as suggested, in a couple of weeks when maybe the right shoe has magically appeared </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500710 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:08:12 +0000 RoseandJoan 500710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a look close to my heart, two thumbs up from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500703 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:03:40 +0000 Isis 500703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The entrie outfit looks great! I love the muted colors! And I especially love the trousers! Pleated tapered trousers are right on trend! (where are yours from, if I may ask?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500700 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:58:19 +0000 kimlee 500700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500687 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:50:01 +0000 Ginny 500687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, colors are good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500673 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:35:08 +0000 Angie 500673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE! </p> <p>You look fabulous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500639 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:31:26 +0000 Lisa 500639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty soft colors. The pleated pant works well with a tucked in top so you can see your belt and the pleats. Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500636 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:26:35 +0000 teri 500636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>doesn't look bad. I'd like to see you in a fuller trouser pant. (Flared more at the bottom)<br /> They almost look too tapered at the bottom </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500633 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:21:04 +0000 missvee 500633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colours and the proportions but I would like to see the trousers with a more open-necked top, maybe a crisp shirt, or v-neck sweater. It seems like you are a bit too covered up with the long sleeved turtleneck and the voluminous trousers. You're absolutely right about the need for new shoes (I love shoes!!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500616 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 13:41:19 +0000 Nakidra 500616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the colors look good on you and you have such a nice figure. I'd love to see some kind of topper with this outfit to add some texture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500615 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 13:41:00 +0000 MNsara 500615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it turned out very elegant and chic! </p> <p>If the season allows, I'd like to see you scrunch up those sleeves to see some forearm. Then you could also add a chunky watch. . .just a thought!</p> <p>I like your logic - you *need* elegant shoes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500593 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 09:47:31 +0000 rute 500593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely look! Love the colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-simple-elegance#post-500583 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 07:51:46 +0000 jayne 500583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my take on a magazine spread called "simple elegance"...the pants are nearly right but I had to tuck in the turtleneck because it was too tight over the pants..and the shoes are the only thing I had in the color tone...so I realized trying to do this that I need elegant shoes.&lt;p/&gt;I tend to buy what I fall in love with and not what I need to finish or make a look which might explain why, for me finding a style is so hard. &lt;p/&gt;Comments...the girl in the photo had a fluffy white sweater and the tones were always grey and some type of white. &lt;p/&gt;I have another idea for a fur vest over that I can try and post when I get home from work. &lt;p/&gt;How did I do with my body shape? </p>
