Period. 884738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Nicole, I meant to comment yesterday, but got distracted and didn't get back. &nbsp;Your outfit looks lovely. &nbsp;The tights were a bit distracting to me, and I couldn't figure out why I wasn't 100% loving them at&nbsp;first. &nbsp;I wear colored tights all the time, and burgundy or plum are favorite fallbacks for me. &nbsp;So what was it? I realized that when I wear a dark skirt and boot with a colorful tight, I usually layer my tights to keep the color, but knock back the contrast. &nbsp;Since you are in the pantyhose of the month club (too cute! too funny!) and have the colored tights and want to wear them, I thought I would share that with you. &nbsp;I have a bunch of double fishnets, lace, stripes, dots, etc., patterned tights that are very open. &nbsp;More like crochet than a typical tight. &nbsp;I rarely wear them alone, but&nbsp;I wear them all the time&nbsp;over the top of my colored tights. &nbsp;It is a&nbsp;great way to make colored tights more adaptable!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883802 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:33:23 +0000 Karie 883802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like this outfit, and that's too funny about your boots! Black or gray stockings would look great too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883800 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:32:31 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 883800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fab outfit on you! I love the proportions and colors together. But oh, boy, did I get a kick out of your wearing boots on the wrong feet! Thanks for the outfit post and a great giggle!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883796 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:29:50 +0000 Carole 883796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So Fab! I love your top and flared skirt. The color combo is so nice, also. Proportions can get so tricky with skirts, but you did great! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883790 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:28:14 +0000 catgirl 883790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the colors and proportions.&nbsp; I used to do the A-B-A-B color scheme as you have with tights, but got some mixed comments... Just saying, because I personally don't mind it at all! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883787 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:25:48 +0000 Debora 883787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another yay! You look great in a full skirt. So funny about the boots! I like Angie's suggestion for stockings, other than that I wouldn't change a thing. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883622 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 23:42:57 +0000 Aida 883622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for great proportions!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883563 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:50:07 +0000 rachylou 883563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree. Stunning, modern, elegant. Fresh.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883560 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:45:25 +0000 Deborah 883560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, what Angie said.&nbsp; I think the proportions are perfect.&nbsp; This is a very fresh and up to date silhouette.&nbsp; Very attractive on you Nicole. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883553 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:38:24 +0000 Anonymous 883553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The top and skirt are lovely -- too funny about the boots! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883531 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:17:29 +0000 Nicole D 883531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Argh! &nbsp;Static cling! &nbsp;I actually had a friend run a wire hanger over my lower half at work to keep it at bay. &nbsp;(A female friend...It is hard to do that oneself and I didn't have any anti static spray handy). &nbsp;It actually worked.<br /><br />Thanks for the feedback. &nbsp;I will try the cardi and the sheer hose. &nbsp;<br /><br />I belong to a "panty hose of the month club" and they send me coloured tights once in a while so I do try to find an excuse to wear them. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883518 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:09:42 +0000 kellygirl 883518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The only thing I noticed was a bit of static cling, I think. You look great. I can't believe your boots are on the wrong feet--LOL! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883514 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:06:29 +0000 Liz A. 883514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the top is a bit wide at the waist. &nbsp;Could you wear the skirt with a tucked in button down? Not sure if it's too drapey for that look. &nbsp;Or maybe just t-shirt- and cardigan? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883513 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:05:38 +0000 Angie 883513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hah! Your boots were on the wrong feet.<b> Hilarious. </b><br /><br />The proportions of the top and skirt look stunning to my eye! So runway 2013. Fresh, modern and elegant. Well done! :)<br /><br />Is that your skirt doing a little static cling in front in #2? <br /><br />Personally, I'd have finished off your outfit with very sheer black hose to match up with your grey boots - less of a choppy colour blocked effect that way. But the burgundy hose looks nice too. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-else-is-wrong-with-this-picture#post-883475 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:26:46 +0000 Nicole D 883475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ After&nbsp;Angie's blog about what to wear with a flared skirt:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/03/11/ensemble-13-tops-for-a-flared-skirt/">http://youlookfab.com/2013/03/.....red-skirt/</a><br />I tried this combo of a faux suede skirt from Olsen Europe and a hi-low silk crossover blouse. &nbsp;I think it looked OK, but maybe the top is a bit too long. &nbsp;Let me know what you think.<br />Sorry #3 is so out of focus but you get the idea of the shape.<br /><br />The bag is my Rebecca Minkoff ebay steal, and the boots are from Long Tall Sally (and they were on the wrong feet in this photo! That's when you know you sized up a bit too much on your footwear).
