I also appreciate everyone's help in getting me over the black top/white bottom prejudice. Looks like I have to start working on the pockets... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9693 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 01:22:22 +0000 Angie 9693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous Marianne! You look absolutely fabulous in clams. White makes it all right! Good rule of thumb for Summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9680 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:19:13 +0000 Dani 9680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute, Marianne! I say go for it even if the weather isn't fully cooperating. It is June after all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9677 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:17:39 +0000 marianne 9677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you guys are quick! Yes, I'd probably remove the pockets myself if I keep the pants. OK, I'll be the first one to pick up the new acronym - I really don't know what's up with WPPST. Nobody uses those pockets anyway, I don't know why they wouldn't make them purely decorative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9673 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:12:57 +0000 Nicole 9673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I third Ana and Tanya's comments. This is great combination and very versatile. You look slim, polished and very confident! </p> <p>I hate white pants pocket show thru...I don't know why designers do not address this problem. I don't know too many women who would complain if their pants had dummy pockets.</p> <p>Edit: Oooh another acronym WPPST </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9672 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:10:18 +0000 Tanya 9672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely agree with Ana, the outfit is very cute indeed and it would be even cuter with the pockets removed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9671 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:08:53 +0000 Ana 9671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit a lot Marianne! Very cute. How would you feel about getting the front pockets removed and sewn shut so they don't show through? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9669 Tue, 03 Jun 2008 00:07:38 +0000 marianne 9669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I took a picture of a tentative outfit:<br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/Picture025.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....ure025.jpg</a><br /> What do you think? The tags are still on.</p> <p>Nicole, I know what you mean. Usually it's freezing when I go to work in the morning, even during the hottest part of the summer, so layers are ideal. I do need to get more cardis, right now I only have a couple in winterish colors </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9545 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 11:13:28 +0000 Nicole 9545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear my walking and bermuda shorts in cool weather--after all MA is known for it's crazy temperature fluctuations. I am a on HUGE cardigan kick, so that's usually what I pair them with...but even a long sleeve embellished top, with a contrasting cami peeking out underneath would look great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9537 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 04:49:08 +0000 Angie 9537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely. And you make perfect sense! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9524 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 02:36:41 +0000 marianne 9524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies, that helps tremendously! One more think - do you think they could also work with black or brown blazer-like jacket over bright-colored top?</p> <p>Angie, I was somewhat joking about that one. I tend to buy more bottoms than tops, and each time I get a new set of bottoms I think, "oh I just get something to wear with it" and then never do. As for these pants, I really like how versatile they are, but I feel like I might not be keeping things in perspective by getting another pair! Hope it makes sense, at least a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9506 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 01:23:35 +0000 Angie 9506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely advice! </p> <p>Marianne, it wasn't really a rule. It was merely an interesting wardrobe observation that this particular shopping strategy does not work for me, but I know plenty of people who this does work for and it sounds like you should hang on to your white clamdiggers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9504 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 01:00:13 +0000 Tanya 9504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I generally agree with Ana.</p> <p>1. White and denim clamdiggers are indeed different enough IMO.</p> <p>2. Ana's suggestions are spot on. You could also try a woven trapeze jacket over a long sleave fitted tee.</p> <p>3. I also love both black&#38;white and brown&#38;white in the summer. Few more suggestions for "pop" colors for the second option: orange, fuschia, teal/turquoise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9503 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:55:46 +0000 Ana 9503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. I think the two clamdiggers are different enough that you would probably get equal wear out of them, because you would probably wear them with different things.</p> <p>2. I think it's fine to wear capris when it's cold outside if you're warm enough. Layering your top would look cute--maybe pair them with ballet flats and a swingy sweater jacket in a bright color:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod92958173&#038;catId=cat90224" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....d=cat90224</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod95351161&#038;catId=cat303174" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....=cat303174</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/product.jhtml?id=prod94251161&#038;catId=cat303174" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/p.....=cat303174</a></p> <p>3. Black and white and brown and white are great combos. Add bright colors to make them more "summery." Black and white has many options--lime, yellow, bright pink, red, cobalt blue, etc. Brown and white looks great with yellow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-denim-questions#post-9475 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:00:52 +0000 marianne 9475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After clamdiggers excitement I went back to J Crew and got a pair in white. I am still deciding whether to keep them. I have a few issues with them that I hope you can help me resolve.</p> <p>1. Does this fall under Angie's "no same item in different colors" rule - or are they different enough (I think they are)?</p> <p>2. Right now it's in the 60s and overcast. Is it appropriate to wear them in this weather? If yes, what to wear for extra layer on top? I used to have a pair of white denim capris, but i only wore them with a bright tee when it was sunny. This might be a crazy preconception, so please let me know if it is.</p> <p>3. I think wearing white denim with black or brown got YLF approval before. Is it actually OK to wear them with solid black or brown tops? </p> <p>Thank you! </p>
