I'm thinking I might wear #4 out later this week with a solid gray scarf I dug out of the donate pile.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121970 Wed, 25 Dec 2013 05:26:45 +0000 krishnidoux 1121970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wacky good! I like 1, 2 and 4&nbsp;&nbsp;best. MUCH cooler, more original&nbsp;than black IMO!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121934 Wed, 25 Dec 2013 04:14:23 +0000 Jaime 1121934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both work for me - I am not algo and too much going on can make me dizzy, but the first one is quirky in a good way not dizzy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121824 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 23:46:56 +0000 Karie 1121824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gigi, my first inclination was to wear a solid scarf, but I don't have any in solid gray, and maybe my cream scarf would have looked OK, but I think all that red was bugging me a bit too. I wanted to look Christmasy, but not like Mrs. Claus!&nbsp;<br />Rachylou, I do enjoy your quirkiness :)<br />In the end, I was very comfy and warm running about getting my shopping done. I didn't have time to come home and change, so I ended up meeting a friend for Christmas Eve church service dressed as I was. Church dress ranges from very casual to dressy, so it was all goodie.<br />Gigi, glad you were able to keep your lunch down - that's always my goal when I post WIW's </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121758 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 21:33:11 +0000 rachylou 1121758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really just LOVE you in this burgundy and grey. Both outfits are good to me, although I admit the first was quirky... and I am Quirky Waif, and I approve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121757 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 21:32:38 +0000 Beth Ann 1121757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your updated pic best --- still lots of interest!&nbsp; I also think it worked in #1, although the Burberry plaid scarf didn't work for me!&nbsp; Hope you found everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121722 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 20:27:42 +0000 Gigi 1121722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to respond to your question about your first edit. I do think that hiding the red helps the busy-ness of the patterns. And my lunch is still in my tummy. :^) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121704 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 19:34:19 +0000 Gigi 1121704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new version feels more cohesive to me.</p> <p>I am trying to figure out why the original didn't work. I wonder if part of the problem was the different scales of pattern used between the pants and the scarf. What would happen if you used a smaller-scale pattern on the scarf? Or maybe use a solid scarf? The checked pants are so fun, it's a shame to do without them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121654 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 18:01:01 +0000 Karie 1121654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your input! Una and Gigi, I was feeling a little OTT, so I ditched the checked pants for today and put on solid black.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121646 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 17:47:02 +0000 calmwave 1121646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>loving #1 ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121636 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 17:25:10 +0000 Jules 1121636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, if it feels good wear it. I wouldn't want to dress like this every day but once in a while, why not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121635 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 17:16:31 +0000 Sara L. 1121635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 the best with the neutral scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121609 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 16:48:27 +0000 Gigi 1121609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute doggie!</p> <p>I think there is too much going on, to be honest. There are so many breaks in color and so many patterns that my eye can't rest anywhere and enjoy the whole outfit. Can you try it with a more neutral, nonpatterned pant? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121607 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 16:46:15 +0000 Anonymous 1121607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like all of these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121603 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 16:37:04 +0000 Karie 1121603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pants are red and black checked - humm...maybe I should play it safe and put on my off-white sweater? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121586 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 16:29:21 +0000 Anonymous 1121586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't yet get passed your sweet pooch dressed for Christmas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121577 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 16:21:27 +0000 catgirl 1121577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the other color of the pants black, grey or blue-ish?&nbsp; I can't tell from the pictures... This is a little OTT for me, but it is fun and playful.&nbsp; Maybe&nbsp;Team ALGO can chime in&nbsp;with&nbsp;more helpful feedback!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wacky-or-tacky#post-1121571 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 16:09:35 +0000 Karie 1121571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And by wacky, I mean <i>wacky</i> good, not wacky <i>bad</i>. &nbsp;The reds don't match exactly - the top is darker, more burgundy-ish, the red in the skinnies is brighter. Suggestions (I will scrunch the gray sleeves), OK as is (which scarf), or don't leave the house in this, even for last minute shopping?</p> <p>Seriously, you won't hurt my feelings -&nbsp;after all, I wouldn't be asking if I didn't have doubts! And it's not like I have nothing else to wear.... </p> <p>I cut off my head because I haven't fixed my hair yet or put on make-up...</p> <p>Edit: I hid the red on the 1st scarf. So are you saying, "Better!" or "Change now before I loose my lunch!"</p> <p><b>Second Edit: </b>Took your suggestions re ALGO,&nbsp;changed to solid black pants. &nbsp;Now off to battle those last minute crowds!</p> </p>
