That colour and the patina could work for me. I will keep an eye out for it if it pops up here. Love Allsaints.</p> <p>Thanks Dana!</p> <p>Thanks Sal. Yes, my mum is in good spirits!</p> <p>Thanks ST. I agree, lots of different ways to dress down a dressy outfit (or dress up a casual one). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition/page/2#post-2321009 Wed, 03 May 2023 01:18:13 +0000 Angie 2321009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn,</b> this denim jacket made me think of you:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition/page/2#post-2320831 Mon, 01 May 2023 16:48:20 +0000 Dana 2320831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab outfit! I love your style. I absolutely love juxtaposition...feels a bit rebellious. I wish I could wear more texture, but I typically find it more in tops, and as an IT I go for very lightweight smooth textures up top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition/page/2#post-2320783 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 21:00:16 +0000 Sal 2320783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking great Brooklyn - lovely colours and textures that add so much to the outfit.</p> <p>I agree - being able to walk comfortably and safely in "normal" clothes is important.&nbsp; I am clinging on to some heels - but I am not wearing them much at all.......and my eyes have adjusted.</p> <p>Sounds like your Mum is in good spirits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition/page/2#post-2320731 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 11:55:46 +0000 Anonymous 2320731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots work to my eye since they and the skirt are brown. I don't think I'd like it as much with heavy black boots. Love the bracelet especially!</p> <p>I'm more likely to dress up my more casual outfits with dressier footwear than the reverse. But I do pair my gold Birks with a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition/page/2#post-2320723 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 09:58:42 +0000 Brooklyn 2320723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bijou. I must admit I felt quite pleased with the outfit as I strode home. Walking freely = happiness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition/page/2#post-2320719 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 07:47:20 +0000 Bijou 2320719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this! You look stunning, the textural items are beautiful and so complimentary. It is a massive yes from me for wearing footwear that can comfortably walk 6kms in. I always like the idea that I could walk great distances at any time and don't like being constrained by heels either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition/page/2#post-2320715 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 04:33:00 +0000 Brooklyn 2320715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jaime!</p> <p>Thanks Angie. The longer length is making the frizz more manageable. I’m going copper again this winter, so I’m looking forward to that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition/page/2#post-2320704 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 02:04:52 +0000 Jaime 2320704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit, and yes the boots add a lot! I am happy to be on your team - juxtaposition is probably my most used style tool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320692 Sun, 30 Apr 2023 00:19:00 +0000 Angie 2320692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER STUNNING - with and without the blazer!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm loving the longer hair too!</p> <p>I am praising your happy walking feet in boots, which to my eye look VERY 2023. Please carry on </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320604 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 10:05:24 +0000 Brooklyn 2320604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jenni. Life would be pretty boring if we all liked the same things.</p> <p>Thanks the Cat.</p> <p>Suz, I hope you give it a go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320601 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 05:44:26 +0000 Jenni NZ 2320601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m not on that team for myself really Brooklyn, but I love how you do it here. I’m fairly traditional in what shoes I put with what outfits. It looks great though. Love the tones.<br /> I can tell the skirt is from Thailand! Having just been there in February, wow they really love their elephants there don’t they?! It’s beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320591 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 04:03:23 +0000 Suz 2320591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's so sweet, <b>Brooklyn</b>! Love it!</p> <p>Also, I meant to say what <b>BlueJay </b>said about the belt. Making a note of that!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320590 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 03:34:35 +0000 The Cat 2320590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I certainly am on team juxtaposition. And I love the relaxed elegance that you exude here. A perfect illustration of how harmonious colours can make an outfit of different textures and styles look amazingly cohesive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320581 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 01:54:57 +0000 Brooklyn 2320581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kate and Bonnie!</p> <p>Suz, my mum’s the same. She asks me lots of questions about fashion. She is definitely open to new ideas. When I first explained pattern mixing to her she didn’t like it. But now she does it herself. Which I tease HER about …</p> <p>Nikki, elephants are very cool!</p> <p>Kyle, slim cat, Star, thank you!</p> <p>Jussie, I totally agree. Juxtaposition has really come to the rescue for me since I left office work. I never used to think about it then but it’s my go to now.</p> <p>BlueJay, thanks. I always look for ways to add asymmetry to my outfits. I think that’s another modern/unexpected element. </p> <p>Gryffin, thank you. I did look briefly at the 2 x 2 thing. I think the idea must be that you need more than one dressy element or casual element to make the mix look intentional. It’s a helpful rule of thumb that I’m going to keep in mind.</p> <p>Irina, thanks! I think you’d probably like a less chunky shoe too. Horses for courses, as Angie would say :)</p> <p>RobinF, Janet, LJP, Katerina, Runcarla, CarolS, Lyn67, thanks for the kind words and encouragement :)</p> <p>Tanya, thank you! You are a master in the art of juxtaposition. We are lucky to have you sharing your ideas here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320580 Sat, 29 Apr 2023 01:07:25 +0000 Kate 2320580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit. The colors and textures are just beautiful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320570 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 23:21:46 +0000 Bonnie 2320570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texture and juxtaposition work perfectly together to make a beautiful outfit. The individual pieces are great and together they are fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320563 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 23:04:57 +0000 Suz 2320563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think my mum would have objected to boots, too, in terms of the aesthetic. Her poison eye was formed in the 50s. She used to tease me about my "boooooo<b>ties</b>," as she called them. But she also took an interest in it all and would ask questions about why they were popular.&nbsp;</p> <p>I agree about the light influencing what feels right to wear. That's true for me also.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320562 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 23:00:53 +0000 Anonymous 2320562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit! The texture and contrast are interesting and fun. I like how you positioned the belt buckle closer to the wrap line. Cool elephants </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320561 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 22:59:25 +0000 Brooklyn 2320561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, thanks. It’s a month from winter here and the days are now darker and short. So boots feel absolutely right for me in terms of mood (even on warmer days like yesterday). Plus they allow me to walk miles. Interestingly my mum said she loved the skirt, not the boots, but if wearing the boots allows me to wear the skirt more often, then that’s a good thing. So she’s on board with the practicality angle, but not the aesthetic. Not yet anyway. Never say never! </p> <p>I’ll be back later … </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320496 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 15:52:02 +0000 Suz 2320496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn,</b> this is beautiful! Wow. We've seen that skirt before; how terrific that you are managing to bring it out for less dressy occasions as well. It's just stunning. And the use of texture is inspired and inspiring. That's an element I still tend to neglect and want to improve on.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like it with the boots. Since my move, I have learned that "seasonally confused" has very different meanings in different settings! I am never going to think that sandals in a snowstorm look ok...but I now understand that boots are not just for deep winter in certain climates. I am a slow learner! Years of travel didn't adjust my poison eye but a few years' residence in a different climate did. And I now wear my puffy coats in June just like <b>Rachy</b>, LOL.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320492 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 15:15:55 +0000 Kyle 2320492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the best, most thoughtful outfits. I think this is wonderful, including the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320486 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 14:51:41 +0000 slim cat 2320486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab look - love your combo of dressy with casual touch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320485 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 14:41:02 +0000 jussie 2320485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it. I think the boots work really well.. probably fresher than a more traditional shoe to be honest. Also, because the colours are co-ordinated, it helps it look intentional I think.<br /> Juxtaposition is everything really. Even in the most simple outfit, such as a slim fit jean and a loose fit white linen shirt, well, it’s the difference between those two silhouettes that make it an outfit, rather than just clothes if you ask me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320483 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 14:11:37 +0000 Star (Lise) 2320483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love juxtapostion and for me the boots totally make your outfit fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320482 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 14:03:05 +0000 BlueJay 2320482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, Brooklyn! Gorgeous skirt. I also like that you shifted your belt buckle off to the side, rather than centered. It is such a small thing, but makes a difference!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320481 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 14:02:55 +0000 gryffin 2320481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF - so elegant Brooklyn.&nbsp; Love the texture, play on shade/tone but my favorite it the juxtaposition of pieces.&nbsp; There's that new 2x2 - two formal pieces/2 more casual or rate, I definitely do that.&nbsp; It's the unexpected, dressy but not precious, comfort but elegance, unique but classic.&nbsp; That really does it for me and you are the master at this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320475 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 13:47:07 +0000 Irina 2320475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful skirt! Love the whole outfit but have to admit I’m not sure about the boots. They do look great. It is purely my own preference not to mix different seasons in one outfit. When it comes to juxtaposition, I aim to combine classic and casual pieces in almost all my outfits.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320468 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 13:14:09 +0000 RobinF 2320468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh love it! The skirt is gorgeous and I agree that the boots really add some interest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/texture-juxtaposition#post-2320467 Fri, 28 Apr 2023 13:11:59 +0000 Janet 2320467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I’m totally on board with the juxtaposition — I do this too as it allows me to wear dressier pieces for casual days. This is a fab look! </p>
