It is always very interesting to read, and very helpful too.</p> <p>I realize that burgundy tights are not everyone's cup of tea, but I do like the combination of these particular tights with my brown booties because the tonal value is very similar (and thus this combo creates an unbroken line), so I decided to give it a try today. I also chose the flower blouse with the skirt - outfit #2. I received a few compliments for my outfit, but also a lot of long glances which could mean anything:) I felt good about it, and will be wearing this again. Thank you Angie, for supporting my choice:)</p> <p>This evening I'm going out with some friends, and now I've swapped the skirt for jeans to make the outfit casual. It's very nice, like you suggested, Krishnidoux.</p> <p>In regard of the weight of the fabrics (Caro): The turtle neck is in a thin viscose, so in my opinion there is no conflict between the thin blouse and the turtleneck. Maybe it reads as heavier in the photo? </p> <p>But the best part today was wearing the red coat! I received so many compliments from my colleagues, delivered in an enthusiastic voice, so I think it was a success. I'm so happy that I gave this a second thought and swapped from camel to red. Camel is pretty, but red is much more ME! Next step must be to incorporate more red in my wardrobe, I think. So much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tomorrow-boucle-pencil-skirt-with-alternatives#post-762524 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 02:28:31 +0000 Day Vies 762524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 and the red coat. Burgundy and red are friends. Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tomorrow-boucle-pencil-skirt-with-alternatives#post-762514 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 02:00:54 +0000 Angie 762514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 best. And #3 second. </p> <p>I am usually not a fan of non-neutral tights, but they look like leggings in your outfit and bookend your top so perfectly! I love that outfit :)</p> <p>And your coat looks divine with the deep red tights. Tonal! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tomorrow-boucle-pencil-skirt-with-alternatives#post-762495 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 01:38:34 +0000 Caro in Oz 762495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the coat! (Had to say that again).<br /> The blouses aren't working imo either - something about the weight of them with the turtlenecks. Does your navy cashmere work with the skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tomorrow-boucle-pencil-skirt-with-alternatives#post-762401 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 23:39:02 +0000 krishnidoux 762401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Deb.<br /> Answers to your questions:</p> <p>1- preferably, no. Because the end effect is a column of burgundy with a skirt and a shirt thrown over it, as an after thought, or as if you were too cold. </p> <p>2- For this occasion, I would go for the beige blouse with a beige cami under it, skipping the burgundy turtleneck. You could wear some pearls too? (Or is that too dressy?)</p> <p>3 - From this pic in this light, the tights do not look hideous at all with the coat. It's a gorgeous coat BTW. But you have to see in daylight if it clashes. </p> <p>I like the fashion forwardness of the burgundy turtleneck worn under the flower shirt. But in terms of proportion and texture, given it brings a lot of (good) attention to you top half, I would wear this with pants. My first choice would go for wide brown pants+heels, but do try it with skinnies, it might look awesome.</p> <p> I understand the pattern mixing from flower shirt with the skirt's material, and I think it is quite interesting; however, not with the turtleneck in that case; because there already is a contrast between the turtleneck and the shirt, so another contrast is distracting. </p> <p>Tomorrow, I would wear the skirt with the brown tights and brown booties, it creates a very nice line, without drawing too much attention to your legs, which are fantastic, but just sayin' due to the nature of the event. </p> <p>Please post more creations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tomorrow-boucle-pencil-skirt-with-alternatives#post-762377 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 23:21:47 +0000 Deborah 762377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn none of these are are quite there to me:( I really like the idea but I am not sure about the layering here. How about swapping #1 around a bit. Remove the burgandy top, tuck in the white blouse, change the burgundy hose for the brown and add a patterned scarf to some subtle pattern mixing. Please take my thoughts with a grain of salt, as I think I am not as adventurous as you. I love that skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tomorrow-boucle-pencil-skirt-with-alternatives#post-762356 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 23:01:00 +0000 Thistle 762356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rocking the boat. I really like #1 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tomorrow-boucle-pencil-skirt-with-alternatives#post-762353 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:59:16 +0000 missvee 762353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #3. The boots and tights work so well with the skirt, and the burgundy turtleneck is an unexpected accent. Love it with the coat too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tomorrow-boucle-pencil-skirt-with-alternatives#post-762324 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:25:06 +0000 deb 762324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like #3 the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tomorrow-boucle-pencil-skirt-with-alternatives#post-762315 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 22:20:18 +0000 Susie 762315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would like to see the cream blouse with the brown tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tomorrow-boucle-pencil-skirt-with-alternatives#post-762270 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:35:10 +0000 Carole 762270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>like 3 best, I like that the hose and shoes work nicely together. The tights in 4 don't read too burgundy, just a little different version of red so I think it works! Nice outfit! and great skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tomorrow-boucle-pencil-skirt-with-alternatives#post-762263 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:26:58 +0000 amiable 762263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm.... I think I vote #3. Don't take my word on it though - I'm a total newbie!<br /> I love the coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-tomorrow-boucle-pencil-skirt-with-alternatives#post-762257 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:21:21 +0000 Ingunn 762257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're having a big meeting/conference at our school tomorrow, and I want to dress nicely, but not *dressy*, if you understand. No need for suits since I'm mot giving a presentation myself. I've played around with a skirt today, but I wonder:</p> <p>1. Can I wear burgundy turtleneck and tights in the same outfit?<br /> 2. What is best for the occasion and with this skirt - the transparent hi-low blouse, or pattern mixing with the flowery blouse?<br /> 3. Can I wear my red coat with the burgundy tights, or is it hideous? I could add the red polka dots for even more red nuances and some pattern! No?</p> <p>The photos look a bit funny, I had to be really quick about it today :)<br /> #1: Burgundy turtleneck, cream transparent blouse, burgundy tights<br /> #2: Flowery blouse, the rest is the same<br /> #3: The same as in #2 except for brown tights<br /> #4: Red coat, burgundy tights. Yay or nay?</p> <p>Thanks for looking! Any advice is very much appreciated. </p>
