Fantastic! Good luck on the white booties hunt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-for-deb#post-1964734 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 16:12:20 +0000 shiny 1964734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, you are correct - houndstooth!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you all - and if you are interested, I just noticed this blouse is on sale, marked down to $29.99:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.macys.com/shop/product/alfani-petite-printed-bell-sleeve-top-created-for-macys?ID=4859614&amp;CategoryID=19306#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D219%26ruleId%3D87%7CBOOST%20ATTRIBUTE%7CBOOST%20SAVED%20SET%26searchPass%3DmatchNone%26slotId%3D13">https://www.macys.com/shop/pro.....?ID=485961</a></p> <p>They also have the same style in the same red as my coat. I am tempted.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am waiting for the Anthro suede leggings in burgundy to arrive. (I ordered in regular XS and petite S to compare. The regular XS are just a tad bit too tight in the waist so I think the petite S is going to be just the ticket, but they are on backorder.) I have tried this blouse with the burgundy leggings and love it even more than with black pants.&nbsp;</p> <p>Meanwhile I've been on a massive hunt for white booties. I have ordered 5 different pairs to compare. These are so nearly perfect... but did not pass the comfort test yesterday, unfortunately! I'll do a separate review once I receive the final pair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-for-deb#post-1964729 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 15:58:17 +0000 Janet 1964729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that blouse! I'm a big fan of houndstooth and I like these exaggerated ones for their graphic appeal.

Why should you have to wear tiny patterns? </p> <p>I think it isn’t herringbone, though. I think it’s houndstooth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-for-deb#post-1964714 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 15:11:05 +0000 Angie 1964714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER to the POWER of KILLER.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your best outfit to date </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-for-deb#post-1964709 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 14:51:53 +0000 Kyle 1964709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of your best outfits ever.

Your outfit with red is gorgeous on you. Love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-for-deb#post-1964705 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 14:33:44 +0000 SarahD8 1964705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this blouse on you— your outfit looks great and the pattern doesn’t overwhelm you at all.</p> <p>I think that sometimes, a large scale pattern (orchunky jewelry etc.) on a petite person can create an interesting contrast, similar to fancy/casual and vintage/modern type mixes. Doesn’t work 100% of the time but you’ve nailed it here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-for-deb#post-1964691 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 13:26:12 +0000 karen13 1964691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wow. This is where YLF can be so helpful. Because you need to quiet you inner voice and accept the resounding thumbs up. Wear this one with joy. You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-for-deb#post-1964680 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 12:40:40 +0000 Jessikams 1964680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab!

I love this look on you and it is perfect with your white boots.The proportions are super flattering, I could not tell if you are 5'0 of 5'10 in this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-for-deb#post-1964618 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 06:58:38 +0000 Katerina 1964618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look GORGEOUS in this blouse, the whole outfit is very very beautiful on you. Perfect proportions, super interesting and one can see you in the clothes (the blouse is not wearing you). Can’t tell you just how much I like this look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-for-deb#post-1964616 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 06:38:45 +0000 Jane 1964616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! What a lovely blouse. When I replied I had forgotten about this style of check and I love it. The blouse looks super on you and really great with the red coat and the white bootees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-patterns-for-deb#post-1964598 Sat, 13 Oct 2018 04:27:44 +0000 shiny 1964598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, on your "what is your pattern" thread a week ago, I mentioned I'd recently bought a herringbone patterned, fluted sleeve shirt and wasn't sure if I was going to keep it. Well, I've worn it twice already so I guess I'm keeping it. I am still on the fence about it a bit. I think it's because I am very much a mood dresser. Some days (most days?) I want to dress simply in solids and quiet patterns and neutral colors. Then there are other days I want to break out of that and want to dress more loudly.</p> <p>This is a "more loudly" outfit for me! The pattern is big. The sleeves are huge. The contrast is high. I do love b&amp;w outfits, but usually quieter ones with less pattern. And then there's the red -- not my usual muted red. I love this coat but only wear it when I'm in a particular mood.&nbsp;</p> <p>- Alfani blouse<br />- LOFT legging jeans (last year)<br />- AT coat (a few seasons ago)<br />- Clutch from Italy, gifted from my daughter when she was studying abroad<br />- Sam Edelman booties&nbsp;</p> <p>The other time I wore this blouse, I didn't take any pics but it was with dark wash jeans, a black leather moto, and black leather Chelsea booties With a furry black dot print clutch.&nbsp;</p> <p>This blouse is really comfortable and I love the shape of it, but I do fret that the pattern is too large scale for 5'0 me. I am so used to scaling patterns down to my size. But something tickles my fancy with this one. Especially with the oversized dramatic sleeves.&nbsp; Am I crazy?&nbsp; </p>
