Chris987 on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239932 Mon, 22 Nov 2021 00:03:24 +0000 Chris987 2239932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Angie, Jonesey, nuancedream Column, good suggestions! I was thinking that the brown booties and burgundy cords would work together. Thanks The Cat. I DO like browns in general, I just find it  tricky to put different browns together. Approprio thanks! I watched a little of that video and will come back to it later. Thanks Suz! To extend it's wearing season, I need to also think of this piece as an indoor topper, just in settings NOT around cats or at least not MY cats. Over a very lightweight sweater and not zipped shut it could work in places that are not overheated ...  nuancedream on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239891 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 17:48:54 +0000 nuancedream 2239891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So happy you were able to create such fab looks, Chris. I was hoping that you would not give up on the leopard vest. I concur with Bijou. Leopard is a neutral. Suz on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239889 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 17:40:44 +0000 Suz 2239889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like it! I'm especially fond of 1 and 7. But I agree with Tanya that some comes down to your own colour mixing preferences. A statement piece like this adds so much fun to an outerwear capsule!  Jonesy on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239886 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 17:36:14 +0000 Jonesy 2239886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fun and very versatile for your wardrobe! approprio on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239868 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 15:56:07 +0000 approprio 2239868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I had to hunt around to find it, but I immediately thought of this: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/542vMeyma4g?t=321">the ‘ole ensemblah!</a> Of course it works, Why would it not? The Cat on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239861 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 15:23:16 +0000 The Cat 2239861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My favourite is #1. Perhaps you don't like brown in general, but I can assure you that THIS brown colour (in pullover and booties) looks BEAUTIFUL and harmonious with your colouring as well as with the vest. Column on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239852 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 15:08:57 +0000 Column 2239852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Chris, Would you try your Becka booties with the burgundy cords and variously the brown, rust, and burgundy sweaters? My reds, burgundys, and browns play nicely together; I'll bet some of yours will, too, extending your monochromatic looks and bookending your vest with those stylish pointy toes. Angie on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239845 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 15:01:39 +0000 Angie 2239845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YAY!

Bijou, I'm not sure leopard works as a REAL neutral for me, but I can now see how it does for others.  Inge on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239827 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 13:49:46 +0000 Inge 2239827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <div>Oooh this made my day, Chris!! Yay!! I'm so glad your beautiful vest is working out after all! And well done trying on all these combinations.</div><div>I think they all work, and personally do also love it with the blue sweater. But that's personal preference, and you've now got plenty of other options besides the blue.</div><div> </div><div>I love a happy ending!-) Enjoy sporting your vest! </div> Jaime on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239796 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 04:22:32 +0000 Jaime 2239796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ On first impression #1 and #7 stood out, but these all look good!

I do have a couple of winter dresses I'll have to see if this works with them. Thanks Tanya, Catheirne, slim cat, cat2, bonnie, lozz_oz, lyn67 Great point CarolS - I think I agree with you. cjh - yeah burgundy pants with a lighter sweater is definitely a possibility. Good point about the print and how it works with darker browns. too bad Jenni NZ - maybe you'll just have to order your own! Ummlila - "leopard is everything" -  love it!  UmmLila (Lisa) on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239761 Sun, 21 Nov 2021 01:05:35 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2239761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Leopard is everything!

You’ve proven that it’s a versatile piece for your wardrobe. I particularly like #1.

Fav #1, 3 and 4 but all look good. catherine on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239707 Sat, 20 Nov 2021 16:10:49 +0000 catherine 2239707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Chris, it looks beautiful on you. I like all of your outfits. Possibly a slight preference for #1 and #7. Thanks for posting these. cjh on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239702 Sat, 20 Nov 2021 16:02:31 +0000 cjh 2239702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay for successful results. I like all these but agree the navy tneck is lower on the list. Maybe try the burgundy pants with one of the lighter, cream sweaters instead? <div> </div><div>One thing I always liked about that color leopard print is it goes so well with both blacks, grays and also many warmer chestnut brown variations. So I think I like 1 the best.</div> CarolS on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239700 Sat, 20 Nov 2021 16:00:26 +0000 CarolS 2239700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yay! I'm happy for you that you have made it work. I especially like 4, 5 and 7. I also like 1 because the boots and sweater work together and the black in the vest works with the black bottoms - so the difference in the brown in the vest isn't as much as an issue. YLF! Tanya on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239696 Sat, 20 Nov 2021 15:56:49 +0000 Tanya 2239696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Honestly, they all look good, and it comes down to personal color mixing preferences.   My favorites are #1 and #7. Mary Beth (formerly LBD) on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239694 Sat, 20 Nov 2021 15:52:55 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2239694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YES to all of these!   My favorites are #1, 4, 5 and 7, but they all look beautiful!   I'm so glad you didn't give up on this vest, because it really suits your lovely coloring! ETA:  I'd love to see this vest with a skirt or dress outfit, if you wear skirts or dresses, just to see how it works, dressed up.   Chris987 on "The Leopard Vest Does Work After All!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-leopard-vest-does-work-after-all#post-2239693 Sat, 20 Nov 2021 15:50:17 +0000 Chris987 2239693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I got SO many fabulous suggestions in my earlier posting, and decided to pick a bunch to try, all in a silhouette of sweater and pants.  I am not showing a column of black because that seems the most obvious styling to me.  I did lighten up some of the photos because the colors are not always easy to see.   1. Brown (what Inge called “Dark Cinnamon”) mockneck pullover, black straight leg jeans, brown booties 2.  Grey BR hoodie, black straight leg jeans, black sneakers. I thought the puffy collar on the vest might be too bulky with the sweater hood, but the vest collar folds down nicely so works fine. 3. White sweater with a small silver fleck, black/white plaid pants, black loafers 4. Cream/Oatmeal sweater same pants/shoes .. I didn’t think of this as a winter sweater because it’s cotton but with a merino long sleeve tee underneath it works. 5. Rust/Cinnamon sweater same pants/shoes  6. Burgundy sweater (darker than the photo), dark wash skinny jeans., black lug sole bootie 7. Navy tneck, same pants/shoes 8.  Black tneck, burgundy corduroy pants … I could keep going! I  prefer this vest with grey, burgundy, light tan or black top, and prefer the light tan to white. Bottoms in black and denim are fine and I also like it with the burgundy corduroys. Not so much love for the brown/cinnamon colors, nor the dark blue sweater.  Would love to hear what you think!
