This does rock!! Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-764197 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:24:51 +0000 rachylou 764197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with the tucked jeans and unzipped jacket. Have to say, I also agree that the grey bag goes really well EXCEPT in this instance I think the red crossbody is really punchy and conveys excitement. I'd go with the red bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-763721 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:48:08 +0000 bj1111 763721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>honestly, i love the red. it's sassy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-763699 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:23:06 +0000 Michelle 763699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! Tucked jeans and unzipped jacket it will be! As to the bag, would a black cross-body bag result in too much black or would that just solve everything? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-763680 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 13:58:14 +0000 Angie 763680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Jenava said. Tucked jeans, unzipped jacket and you are good to go.</p> <p>KILLER</p> <p>Have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-763672 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 13:49:43 +0000 Jenava 763672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my take (haven't look at other responses):<br /> tucked booties<br /> unzipped moto (it's zipped in #1)<br /> cross-body bag. I think the snake is a better mix, but probably not worth the hassle.</p> <p>Have fun! You look adorable in this, and that jacket love you back - it's amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-763633 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 12:21:15 +0000 Laura 763633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love you in red and black! Would not wear the red bag because the red of the bag and red of the pants are close but not quite right. And I like the jacket unzipped. Have fun! A night out with a bunch of journalists - am I wrong to say there will be a lot of drinking and carousing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-763577 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 10:42:15 +0000 Karie 763577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic! Love the outfit. Boots tucked/untucked either way looks good, but I prefer tucked, looks edgier. Same thing with the jacket, unzipped looks edgier &amp; more current. I also love cross-body bags because they keep your hands free, but for this look I prefer the non-matchy bag.<br /> I love the moto jacket, I must put one of those on my shopping list! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-763541 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 07:05:46 +0000 Caro in Oz 763541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the last photo Michelle imo it is just perfect for the event you describe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-763523 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 06:04:20 +0000 Suz 763523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, you look AMAZING!!!! Comparing last year's (also fab) outfit to this year's shows the incredible hard work you've done! I love your new outfit both ways (tucked, untucked) but prefer the non-matching bag. However, if it turns out to be TOO high maintenance, never fear. The other bag looks good, too. Have fun!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-763509 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 05:29:31 +0000 CocoLion 763509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your event sounds like heaps of fun!</p> <p>The booties tucked is a more modern edgy look. The booties untucked is more conventionally flattering/leg lengthening. I like both looks, with a slight preference for the tucked look because I like going the modern route.</p> <p>I prefer the coated jacket unzipped for a casual bar atmosphere. Although I understand that zipping up may be necessary en route. Wearing it unzipped just says you are relaxed and staying, the zipped jacket looks like you're cold or ready to bolt any minute.</p> <p>I prefer the non-matchy bag to the red one. Also the red one obstructs the line of the outfit which the neutral bag doesn't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-763498 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 04:50:14 +0000 Michelle 763498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GAAAA!! Woops, thanks for pointing that out, Joy. Hopefully this one will work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-763494 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 04:43:34 +0000 Anonymous 763494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, picture 2 is not the untucked red jeans, but the same picture as #3, the outfit that you wore last year.<br /> Wow, you have really slimmed down since last year! Congratulations </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-when-journalists-rock#post-763488 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 04:37:10 +0000 Michelle 763488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all...hope everyone's been keeping well. </p> <p>Every year Toronto's major media outlets hold a fun event to raise money for local charity and further the sense of friendly rivalry that characterizes our field. The different outlets assemble a rock or ska-esque group from among the staff, and a battle of the bands ensues. Like last year, I'll be on hand to cheer on the boys from our newsroom, and I'm now trying to figure out what to wear. </p> <p>Actually, I think I have it mostly figured out. Since this event takes place in a casual bar setting, I figured this was a good time to break out my red jeans and handkerchief hem tunic that won such approval awhile back. I recently acquired a waxed denim moto jacket at insane discount with which I'm more than a little in love, and I do believe it'll be perfect with this outfit. What I'm struggling with is bags and footwear. Can I wear black booties with this outfit? I was hoping I could as a form of continuity with the jacket and pattern in the top, but I know it may be too jarring with the jeans. If I can wear my booties, is it better to tuck the jeans into them or leave them untucked? And secondly, should I carry the red bag that is similar in shade to my jeans and that can be worn across my body for the whole night, or should I take the snakeskin bag that's less matchy but slightly higher maintenance? </p> <p>Pic 1 shows the jeans tucked in with the red bag, pic 2 shows them untucked, jacket open with snakeskin bag in tow. Please let me know what works. And if the black booties just aren't working for you on any level, say the word and I'll wear my pewter Cole Haan wedges. They're not as good in colder temps, but they'll do in a pinch. :)</p> <p>Also, just for fun, pic 3 shows the outfit I wore to last year's battle of the bands. Similar idea, but I'm feeling better about my figure this time around. </p>
