My favorite is #2 and those new shoes.., me like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593274 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 13:47:01 +0000 Jem 593274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! My favorite is #2, too bad the skirt is so wrinkly!! I LOVE your new shoes, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593227 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:57:30 +0000 Emily 593227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's too bad about the skirt because outfit 2 looks fantastic. If it helps, everything that I've read suggests that linen will get softer and less wrinkle prone the more you wash it... I also how the shoes are perfectly neutral but still interesting. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593212 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:37:20 +0000 kimlee 593212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in both outfits. But I absolutely love the combination of yellow and black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593200 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:16:59 +0000 missvee 593200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still think you should take the skirt back to BR and complain. Yes it's linen and you expect some wrinkling - that's the nature of the fabric. But this is way beyond wrinkling it's more like creasing that you would have ironed in to the fabric. I really like linen as a summer fabric and I don't mind the wrinkling but this just seems to be a poor quality fabric to me. BR may not want to refund your money, but in the interest of customer good will they might offer you a credit - it's worth a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593194 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 11:54:00 +0000 sarah 593194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE both of these, right down to the shoes, Amy. Have you tried pressing with starch? I have no idea if that would help with the wrinkles, but it might be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593190 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 11:20:51 +0000 citygirldc 593190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #2. It seem more flattering to my eyes rather than 1 because the first jacket looks a bit boxy to me. That yellow color looks divine on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593176 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 08:51:40 +0000 Kiwichik 593176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with MandipaM love #2and think that the skirt looks fine I didn't really notice the wrinkles in the full length photo due to the pattern. The new shoes are fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593170 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 08:36:13 +0000 ManidipaM 593170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love outfit #2 even more than #1, which is pretty darn awesome already. I like the softness and crushed-ness of the printed skirt with that green jacket and yellow top a lot, and something about the skirt's print and wrinkles actually coordinates with your fab new shoes to my eye!</p> <p>But I do realize wrinkles are a deal-breaker for many people. I guess I'm in the minority myself --- crunchy enough to revel in them, because the wrinkles are often on the greener side of the fence! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593094 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 04:33:45 +0000 AJ 593094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I struggle with yellow and black because I associate it with bumble bees. I like your pairing, especially since you added red to the mix as well. Nicely styled!</p> <p>The skirt in #2 is cute...too bad about the wrinkles. I really like the citron top with the dark olive jacket. Great find on those heels! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593070 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:50:23 +0000 Suz 593070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The BR skirt LOOKS really good. </p> <p>I have a linen pencil skirt in white from them. It does wrinkle, yes...but somehow I don't mind that too much. I only wear it in summer, mind you. </p> <p>Both outfits are terrific, Amy, and the shoes look wonderful! And they don't slip off your feet? That is a miracle in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593058 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:36:40 +0000 Ana 593058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are great, but I especially love outfit #1 on you! The jacket is really chic and I love how you've styled it with the yellow skirt to make it feel fresh and springlike. It's too bad about the skirt. I agree with Sveta's take on linen above. Could you relegate it to casual wear since it wrinkles so much? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593030 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:12:19 +0000 Amy 593030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593028 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:11:15 +0000 Anonymous 593028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593026 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 03:08:29 +0000 christy 593026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits Amy! You are inspiring me with the Halogen skirt and Vince Camuto jacket - I might have to give that a shot! </p> <p>Too bad about the skirt though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593021 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:50:13 +0000 Beth Ann 593021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are so professional, but still vibrant and fun. And ooooh, love those new shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593018 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:46:59 +0000 catgirl 593018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab color combo! Linen is a struggle. One upside to living in a cold climate is not having to deal with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-593004 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:34:39 +0000 Angie 593004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in both of these outfits, Amy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-592980 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:09:07 +0000 Anonymous 592980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great color combinations! I thought the yellow skirt was the offending one, and I was straining to see any wrinkles, lol! The print of the flax one just might camouflage the wrinkles enough, if you decide to keep it. If you paid full price for it, it's worth having a round with customer service. I really like the outfit you put together with it, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-592972 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:00:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 592972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That first outfit is so pretty Amy - I love that yellow skirt with the black jacket. The detailing on the jacket is lovely - very Chanel-esque.</p> <p>That's too bad about the BR skirt. Would you consider keeping it just for casual wear then? It would be comfy with a tee in the backyard on a hot summer day...</p> <p>Those shoes are fabulous - yay for comfy non-slipping shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-592970 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:57:49 +0000 Debora 592970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore my version of the yellow skirt/black combo the other day, so it gets a thumbs up from me. Both outfits look fab to me, and the second skirt is so pretty, wrinkles and all. I love your new shoes, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-592967 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:49:56 +0000 Sveta 592967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that linen is better in looser shapes because form fitting garments show wrinkles more and also read more formal and therefore should not be wrinkled.<br /> I wonder if flax with some synthetic fiber in it is less wrinkly... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-592965 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:48:25 +0000 qfbrenda 592965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the skirt. Awesome shoes, though! I really like the yellow and black together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-592962 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:46:34 +0000 Amy 592962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, had I put two and two together, I would have known that it would wrinkle like that. I don't know that I can blame BR for my ignorance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-592961 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:44:17 +0000 Sveta 592961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree on taking it back if you are not satisfied with the quality: after all some things are not apparent until you wear the item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-592958 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:43:08 +0000 Amy 592958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you do that after wearing it? I've never tried that before, but have to admit that I'm very disappointed in the skirt.</p> <p>Sveta, you're right about flax/linen. I am a stupid shopper, lol. I should have known that when I bought it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-592956 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:41:52 +0000 Sveta 592956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like yellow and black, never had a reservation about this color combo.<br /> I always thought that linen is made from flax...and yes, I hate its wrinkle ability too.<br /> Love the jacket - it looks black on my screen. What green is it? Doesn't it work with the yellow skirt - or your grey skirt?<br /> Hooray on the comfortable and pretty shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-592955 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:41:40 +0000 missvee 592955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of outfit #2, but I agree, I think it wrinkles more than linen. Too bad!!! I had my eye on this skirt but now I'm having second thoughts. Would you consider taking it back and complaining? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-wiws---new-color-combos-for-me#post-592950 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:37:23 +0000 Amy 592950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry...I was having trouble with my internet connection. It should be fixed now. </p>
