I was nervous about what you might say... but you like it.. I am rapt and can't wait to wear it out of the house.</p> <p>Midwest Girl, Shannon, Vicki and Parsley thanks for looking and I am so glad to get *almost* 100% YLF approval.</p> <p>Have a great week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-585087 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 21:54:18 +0000 Parsley 585087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-585038 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 20:24:11 +0000 Vicki 585038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I like it a lot and, to me, it has an arty &amp; edgy feel to it and the red pants are just the right color to give it a classy look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584944 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:05:18 +0000 Transcona Shannon 584944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's fab in an edgy way. I wouldn't change any of it - leave the house in it Deborah and rock it!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584941 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:03:00 +0000 Midwest Girl 584941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it--this totally works in my opinion! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584877 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 15:11:00 +0000 Angie 584877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My thumbs are up! You look ravishing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584853 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 14:43:13 +0000 Anonymous 584853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it Deborah! It's a very fashion-forward take on the twin-set! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584782 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 11:38:51 +0000 Deborah 584782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for looking. You comments are much appreciated. I was unsure what to expect so pleasantly surprised so many of you quite liked this.</p> <p>To those who didn't, your thoughts on the combination are valid and certainly make sense.</p> <p>Sarah, you're not a spanner and I get what you mean.</p> <p>Shevia, I was also thinking black bottoms and maybe breaking the two sets of stripes up with some red beads.</p> <p>Dianthus, I am not an ALGO girl and for me this is still relatively streamlined but I get your point:)</p> <p>Krish, yes I love both these pieces.</p> <p>Suz, it's not quite as full on visually in real life (unless of course I am kidding myself) :)</p> <p>Lyn67 I like the combination you put together, I could try that myself.</p> <p>I might play around a bit more and I have had a few more ideas today xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584767 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 09:11:43 +0000 lyn67 584767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a stripes on stripes outfit that was mostly aproved by the YLF here(pictie nr 7):<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/striped-blazer" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ped-blazer</a><br /> but not sure on this one (but I am not really a risky girl at all). I think it has to do with the width, freqvency and colour of the stripes-as here all of these look almost the same, ans so-there is almost no difference between the jacket and the top.<br /> Maybe with a long black shawl hanging in between the too, from neck to hem-to separete...(?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584714 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 05:49:44 +0000 Kirti 584714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it and I'd definitely wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584649 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 03:39:55 +0000 ManidipaM 584649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Decidedly brilliant, and I'd absolutely wear it myself --- and I say that as a migraineur with huge issues when it comes to patterns. </p> <p>OT: Suz is right about patterns doing funny things on-screen, even more than real life. I too had to zoom in on Jeanne's trench in a separate tab at full size to appreciate it, because at first the pop-out from the thumbnail looked like a kaleidoscoping aura! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584632 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 03:12:31 +0000 Suz 584632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's fun! I couldn't wear it myself and it somewhat hurts my eyes (but I had a problem with Jeanne's reptile trench the other night, too, so take my words with a grain of salt!) I also think the optical effect is much stronger on screen than IRL. </p> <p>I agree with Adelfa. I'd wear and see how it felt. </p> <p>And also, you really DO look great whatever you put on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584620 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 02:56:14 +0000 Adelfa 584620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would definitely wear that and then see how I felt. If I felt edgy and fab, I'd do it again. If I felt embarrassed and "too much," then I'd retire the look. But it definitely looks interesting and worth the experiment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584618 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 02:52:32 +0000 krishnidoux 584618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's too much for me... But beautiful separately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584615 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 02:49:45 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 584615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends so much on the viewer. I mentioned this in Citygirls thread but I find too many diagonal strips mixed together very distracting. I really like all of the pieces but for me they are a bit too much together. I am not able to do ALGO though so my opinion is a bit biased. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584584 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 02:22:07 +0000 citygirldc 584584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both seem to go well together but maybe it's a bit too much stripes? I don't know. You always look good no matter what you put on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584582 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 02:19:34 +0000 Deborah 584582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, this is an Aussie version of the B44. Found it in one of our chain stores:)</p> <p>Am out and about and really appreciate your thoughts - will pop back shortly xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584573 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 02:11:49 +0000 missvee 584573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it on you. YOu've kept the bottom half pretty simple so the overall effect is quite interesting. Wear it out and see how you feel in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584571 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 02:10:22 +0000 Jaime 584571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I like it! First of all that striped jacket is perfect, really one of the best I have seen. I wonder if black bottoms would work better because they would be less distracting- although I do really like those red trousers. Every time I look at it again I like it more, if that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584555 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 01:58:51 +0000 Kari 584555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a lot going on but in a way I really like. Keeping the bottom half simple and streamlined is definitely the right idea. Is that the b44 top under the blazer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584528 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 01:16:01 +0000 raclar 584528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! It takes a strong attitude about the stripes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584525 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 01:11:58 +0000 christieanne 584525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So crazy it just might work I mean that in a good way. Bold! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584521 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 01:06:08 +0000 Anonymous 584521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rather enjoy this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584518 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 01:02:01 +0000 MsMary 584518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584514 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 00:59:04 +0000 sarah 584514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's too much for me. Sorry to be a spanner... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584508 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 00:56:05 +0000 Jjsloane 584508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is kind of interesting. It seems to work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584506 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 00:51:24 +0000 taylor 584506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I acutally like it.:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584505 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 00:50:04 +0000 Jem 584505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure? I kindof like it. I'll be interested in what Angie says. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-on-stripes-yay-nay#post-584499 Sun, 01 Apr 2012 00:40:14 +0000 Deborah 584499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It just happens that my striped top and striped jacket "match". </p> <p>Now I haven't left the house in this! This is just for you :)</p> <p>I think this could work with an edgier bottom half? What do you think? Too Matchy Matchy, ridiculous, could work?</p> <p>It was just an idea so please be honest:)</p> <p>xxx Deborah </p>
