Can you tuck or tie the cobalt top in 1? I think it's a bit long and the winking of the stripes muddies the graphic clean looks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1004426 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:38:58 +0000 In My Joi 1004426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the stripe pattern skirt; I vote for option 3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1004377 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 19:29:50 +0000 Marley 1004377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p># 2 - ahhhhh, I die!&nbsp; Just perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1004044 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 11:17:10 +0000 krishnidoux 1004044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them all! My personal fave is pic 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1004039 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 10:50:01 +0000 Mona 1004039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the bold stripes of skirt work great with bright coloured tops. This skirt will be a true workhorse for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003955 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 03:15:06 +0000 Anonymous 1003955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked your neutral tops but think these work too. My favorites are 2-3. The different shades of off-white in the pattern mix look sophisticated to my eye and more interesting than matchy.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003936 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 02:46:11 +0000 Suz 1003936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all.&nbsp;</p> <p>Shannon, I tend to agree with you about that pattern mix. The off-white of the jacket is a cool greyed white. The off-white of the skirt is a warmer ivory. That might be part of the trouble. But it was fun to try it out. I wanted to see if the picture looked the same as the mirror view.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pastrygirl, thank you. Good idea to check out rugby striped tee pins for inspiration. I don't own yellow because it looks horrible on me. So that won't be happening. But that would look great on someone else!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003925 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 02:36:10 +0000 ManidipaM 1003925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like the pattern mix too. The shades are softer and unexpected but I am really enjoying the juxtaposition.</p> <p>Of the rest I like #1 best in the proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003924 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 02:35:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1003924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since I'm a lover of all things black and white, I adored those combinations. But I also adore 1, 2 and 3. These are great outfits. Although I like the idea of the pattern mixing, something seems a little off to my eye in terms of the softness of the jacket's pattern and palette paired with the crispness of the skirt's graphic pattern, if that makes any sense.</p> <p>These tube skirts were made for you Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003919 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 02:30:58 +0000 pastrygirl 1003919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm blazer-crazy, so I love #2! All the color combos are great. I would even check Pinterest for pins with striped tees and see what combos you find. Since you're keeping the skirt as a summer look...do you have any shades of yellow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003912 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 02:24:04 +0000 donnat 1003912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 the best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003894 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 01:52:35 +0000 amiable 1003894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - love them all - but my favorites are #1 and #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003892 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 01:48:44 +0000 Lisa 1003892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and #2.&nbsp; #2 is my favorite here, I really like the proportions with the shorter jacket and the tucked in top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003879 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 01:33:59 +0000 annagybe 1003879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003878 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 01:31:44 +0000 Sveta 1003878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brights definitely work! Thank you for humoring me! :-)<br />I also quite like the subtle pattern mix. I think it all works depending on which mood you want to create.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003877 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 01:30:50 +0000 Peri 1003877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them all...but not quite as much as the other post pictures. They are still 9s though, it's just that the other pictures were 10s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003868 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 01:05:15 +0000 Karie 1003868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i></i>I think they all look great, but my favs are #1 and #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003856 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 00:35:39 +0000 peekaboo 1003856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1! &nbsp;I have the same skirt and wore it with a cobalt blue top, but it wasn't as drapey as yours so I don't think it worked as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stripes-with-brights-for-sveta-with-bonus-pattern-mix#post-1003846 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 00:15:00 +0000 Suz 1003846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta challenged me to try out the striped skirt with some coloured tops or toppers (I was playing it too safe with neutrals).&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't have many options. But here they are.&nbsp;</p> <p>#1: with cobalt silk tunic. i don't think the "grin" was as noticeable IRL as with the flash.&nbsp;</p> <p>#2: with fuchsia knit jacket and silk shell.&nbsp;</p> <p>#3: with fuchsia silk blouse and bright accents.&nbsp;</p> <p>#4: bonus neutral pattern mix attempt.&nbsp;</p> <p>Are any of these wearable, do you think?&nbsp;</p> <p>P.S. Wore the skirt with the peplum today and black pointy toed flats, plus white jean jacket. Happiness factor through the roof!&nbsp; </p>
