I very much&nbsp;like your more tonal interpretation. It has a soft, feminine vibe. You look great. It is no wonder that you received compliments from strangers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pinterest-plaid-and-pearls---my-version#post-1161640 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 12:49:46 +0000 Karie 1161640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily, Gigi,&nbsp;and MaryK, I figured I'd break out the more subdued, tonal version before busting out the more "wild child" one. That'll be next! I actually have several other ideas on how to wear this - I just need places to go!&nbsp;<br />Suz, Ly, JAileen, and Shannon, as much as I've loved this pin ever since I first saw it, I wasn't sure if the outfit would ever make it out of my house. I thought people would think I was wonkers - a mental patient perhaps - pearls, stripes, plaid, military, wha what?? I thought a coffee cafe is somewhat of an artsy place, so I'd be safe there.&nbsp;<br />My happiness factor was high when I left the house, because<i><b> I </b></i>like it (and I already know I'm a bit wonkers), but after the first compliment, shazam! Happiness through the roof! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pinterest-plaid-and-pearls---my-version#post-1161510 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 04:18:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1161510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

Those always make my day. I was hardly ever complimented on my clothing until I came here...</p> <p>I think that you hit the nail on the head with your more subdued version!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pinterest-plaid-and-pearls---my-version#post-1161384 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 01:14:20 +0000 Emily 1161384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty! &nbsp;I like your version, with the more subdued palette, much more than the original. &nbsp;You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-pinterest-plaid-and-pearls---my-version#post-1161381 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 01:08:23 +0000 Karie 1161381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know others have copied this look with fantastical (is that a word?)&nbsp;success, and here is my version. I tried to be a bit subdued since it's all just so...<i>much.&nbsp;</i>The striped shirt is gray and beige, and the plaid shirt is black, red, and beige. The pearls are white and pink. Happiness factor was quite high as I was complimented by a complete stranger within 5 minutes of walking into the coffee cafe!</p> <p>My jeans are sticking out of the bottom of my booties - they weren't before (at least I hope not!), I took them off to take Cosmo out, and put them back on to take the outfit photo.</p> <p>Army jacket and striped shirt&nbsp;- Old Navy, plaid shirt- JCP, booties - ?, jeans - Gap, pearls - old (one strand is from the 1980's!)</p>
