She had some good tips about layering using Heattech too (but we kind of knew that one already.) Again, the sweater would work in a pinch... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285254 Mon, 10 Oct 2022 00:08:11 +0000 CarolS 2285254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Kelly! I’m intrigued by some of her hacks (gathering pant bottoms) but not so sure about wearing a sweater as a skirt! You do have to give her full points for finding ways to amp up wears by finding creative uses for clothing. Sweater as scarf is another one I’m still mulling over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285253 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 23:58:10 +0000 kellygirl 2285253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, late to this but LOVE them both. I'm enjoying some of Amy's reels and love where this inspiration is taking you. I saw one today where she layered sweaters - kind of weird but very creative. I could see wearing a pullover as a skirt in a pinch but not if I had an actual skirt to wear. But I digress - you wear BF jeans and wide legs so well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285172 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 15:29:49 +0000 CarolS 2285172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, thank you, <b>Angie</b>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285168 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 15:06:13 +0000 Angie 2285168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An on trend mix of proportions that you wear well, <b>Carol</b>!

It is Tahari, and (this should not surprise you!), I got it at Winners or Marshalls late last winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285160 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 14:47:15 +0000 notsaf 2285160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely and I'm with you and Jamie in enjoying the Tibi content this week. Those black trousers are really "WOFs" for you. I wonder: did you consider half-tucking the sweater with the black pants? It might create an interesting shape: Angie's definitely addressed this before!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285157 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 14:45:18 +0000 CarolS 2285157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Approprio&nbsp;</b>-- Thanks! Long over just about anything feels relaxed and 'arty' and a wee bit elegant to me.&nbsp;<b></p> <p>Stag&nbsp;</b>-- Thanks for the love for the 'bonus' jeans outfit! And it is interesting how the same colour can flatter one person and leave another looking less than their best. As Approprio was musing in her post about colours, the line between flattering and unflattering can be very fine -- a slight shift of shade, tint, and/or hue can make a world of difference.&nbsp;<b></p> <p>Suntiger, Bijou, and Star&nbsp;</b>-- Thank you for the kind and encouraging words!</p> <p>I had to change out of the jeans outfit fairly quickly as the day got much warmer than I expected and the combination of merino sweater, topper, and scarf was WAY too much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285138 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 10:37:48 +0000 Anonymous 2285138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit with the black pants and scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285135 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 10:27:20 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2285135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m intrigued again (still?) by how different colors can look on different people. I like to eat split pea soup, but couldn’t wear that color any more than I can wear olive. You look radiant in it. Part of it is that smile, but the color also really looks good on you. I like the jeans outfit best, because it looks so easily perfect, but both are great. And taking the topper &amp; scarf for your own enjoyment ftw! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285133 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 10:20:39 +0000 Bijou 2285133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for posting the photos. I knew when reading this, the outfit would be stellar, but honestly, I was blown away by the end result. I also love your jeans outfit too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285128 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 08:51:39 +0000 approprio 2285128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two great outfits! How can I choose? </p> <p>I love those wide leg pants. The long over wide look is very trendy around here just now. I can see why the jeans are inching ahead though. Colors and proportion are spot on for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285122 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 07:38:16 +0000 Star (Lise) 2285122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, so glad you posted.&nbsp; Even better than I imagined :)&nbsp; Both outfits are really cool, the jeans one though is just a bit more edgy for me - which I love.&nbsp; Probably my favourite outfit of yours ever.&nbsp; This styling suits you.&nbsp; Well done on taking in the info and making it work for you, and with what you have in your closet!&nbsp; Gold Star from me :)&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285120 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 06:42:28 +0000 CarolS 2285120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Sharan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285118 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 05:03:35 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2285118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a super cool outfit, Carol! I like the sweater and jeans outfit, too. So fun to read how inspired you are by the Tibi resource. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285115 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 04:30:44 +0000 CarolS 2285115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww-- thanks, <b>Jaime</b>! You just made MY day!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I hope you'll share pics when you get your hands on those pants!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285105 Sun, 09 Oct 2022 01:45:54 +0000 Jaime 2285105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my Carol you have absolutely made my morning! Yes, I am also mostly focused on her pants silhouette, and exactly the ones you mentioned (will have a small sample in a few weeks thanks to the second hand market and my sister). Yes, her color ideas also intrigued me (I just couldn't fit it all in one post)! Exactly the idea to mix complex neutral colors with brights and black. The only problem was the lack of picture but then you solved that down thread !<br />Anyway, on to the outfits - I love them! Specifically, the green sweater with lower rise jeans and belt is exactly what I am in the mood for now. All of my boyfriend jeans have been brought to the front again.<br />Love the wide legs! And how you mixed the camel coat over it - yes that is the vibe! Please keep posting your outfits - I am very inspired! (Unfortunately it is not yet coat weather, but still.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285081 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 22:45:50 +0000 CarolS 2285081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Lisa</b> -- I knew you'd know exactly where we were!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Carla </b>-- I've had that scarf for years and as much as I have always loved it, I've never felt I had the right pieces to put with it. I'm thrilled the tide is changing. I've looked for years for a sweater in the right green, and now I finally have it!!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sally</b> -- I have to really sift through what she says and take the parts that I figure I can use in my own way.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285078 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 22:05:46 +0000 Sally 2285078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those combinations. The green really makes it special but I love how the other colours blend. I can really see the chill aspect. Maybe I need to revisit TIBI </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285068 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 20:20:02 +0000 Carla 2285068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a&nbsp;<i>great&nbsp;</i>outfit. &nbsp;Those wide leg trousers are super, and I want your scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285062 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 19:15:28 +0000 LJP 2285062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh hi , Rae &amp; Jerry’s . Love that lounge too ! Great outfit , and I LOVE that green sweater !! Where’s it from ( she asks like she needs more green stuff ) . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285053 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 18:05:47 +0000 CarolS 2285053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here we go for those who asked! As worn this morning with jeans and black Blundstones. Then last night’s version. It was very warm in the restaurant so the scarf and coat were really for my own enjoyment to and from. Nevertheless, I did enjoy. </p> <p>Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea but that is ok. Thoughts and suggestions for improvement always welcome. </p> <p>Approprio - I have a black harem-ish pant I might try tucking another time. </p> <p>Unfrumped - good term - to neutralize the black. </p> <p>Star - thanks for asking! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285049 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 17:41:52 +0000 unfrumped 2285049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit! Outfit!<br /> Seriously, I like your approach to “ neutralizing” black pants by overlapping other colors. I don’t wear much classic warm Autumn color, but do love to add my version of brown, taupe- camel and other colors and by default, a lot of time my warmer or dressier pants will be black.<br /> I kind patterned scarves, and handbags too actually, and these are definitely good ways to repeat or “ marry” colors throughout the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285038 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 16:34:11 +0000 approprio 2285038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang! I want to see this outfit!&nbsp;</p> <p>Did you tuck the pants? I am enjoying the effect of tucking my oversized joggers into ankle boots, but I have no mid-calf length boots to try. And I have sworn off more boots this season…</p> <p>I’m also thinking about brights with neutrals at the moment. Love that shade of olive on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285033 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 16:05:44 +0000 Star (Lise) 2285033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds so interesting, would love to see a pic if you have time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tibi-or-not-tibi----putting-big-city-concepts-into-action-in-the-small-city#post-2285031 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 15:47:35 +0000 Angie 2285031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore your positive attitude and polite manner, <b>CarolS! </b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b></b>NICE olive pullover, and fun BF jeans :)<b></b> </p>
