The floral turtleneck is a lovely moody floral for fall, it's no wonder it's earned a place in your wardrobe season after season, it's superb on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398547 Sun, 09 Nov 2025 16:35:30 +0000 Carol 2398547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You do seem to have such a bold style, that I&nbsp; admire. I would never think to pair a dark pastoral print top with track pants, but it works well. And reminds me that I should be on the lookout for joggers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398440 Sat, 08 Nov 2025 11:47:26 +0000 ChristelJ 2398440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful shoes that set off the outfit perfectly, along with your gorgeous hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398438 Sat, 08 Nov 2025 11:42:48 +0000 Dee 2398438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool outfit, I bet no else looks this good going to the pool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398433 Sat, 08 Nov 2025 05:18:09 +0000 Star (Lise) 2398433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes make it imo. Very cool. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398429 Sat, 08 Nov 2025 02:53:23 +0000 Carla 2398429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@&nbsp;<b>JAileen&nbsp;</b>- swim suit under clothes that I’ll wear for the day, with underthings in the bag. &nbsp;The pool has great showers and a nice locker room, so I take my time and do all the self care at the Sportsplex. &nbsp;I actually don’t own a fleece anymore - but do like&nbsp;<b>Irina,&nbsp;</b>and wear a sweater. &nbsp;When I was competitive, I kept fitness kit distinct from everyday, however the farther I get from my racing days - the more I’m letting things cross over!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398427 Sat, 08 Nov 2025 00:58:25 +0000 JAileen 2398427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I like outfit tension. &nbsp;Carla, nice outfit. &nbsp;I’ve never heard of wrong shoe. &nbsp;Mainly, I’m surprised at how dressed up you are to go swimming. &nbsp;I wear my suit under sweats and a fleece jacket, and put on regular clothes after I get home.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398425 Sat, 08 Nov 2025 00:36:30 +0000 Irina 2398425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! Love the color choices in the outfit.&nbsp;<div>When I wear athletic clothes, I like to balance it with classic items like you have done here. Sweatpants with cashmere turtlenecks is basically my uniform for walking and going to a pool in the colder months.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398423 Fri, 07 Nov 2025 23:15:26 +0000 LJP 2398423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup - wrong shoe theory in action here ;). I like it! &nbsp;And those pants are absolutely right up my alley and look like a pair I own, only mine have the 3 stripes. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398418 Fri, 07 Nov 2025 22:25:43 +0000 Bonnie 2398418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely the right shoes. Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398417 Fri, 07 Nov 2025 21:56:53 +0000 Angie 2398417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smashing new loafers, <b>Carla</b>! Works well with that floral T-neck and your hair ;)</p> <p>Yes to "<i>the theory"</i> simply referring to <b>juxtapo</b><b>sition</b>. Or <i>outfit tension. </i>All the same thing. And all a positive outfit creation strategy.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the same way, a year ago, apparently a Tik Tok influencer "discovered" hair and shoe colour matching - hence BOOKENDNG. Vogue picked up on it, loved it, and it went viral. It's not news to me or Fabbers. I smiled ;)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398414 Fri, 07 Nov 2025 21:35:57 +0000 Cookie 2398414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit! I don’t think the shoes look “wrong,” but the idea of looking as if you are wearing the wrong shoes is not that appealing to me, so … </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398413 Fri, 07 Nov 2025 21:15:04 +0000 Carla 2398413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@&nbsp;<b>Jenni NZ&nbsp;</b>- LOL! &nbsp;I don’t blame you! &nbsp;I believe it popped up 2 years ago and is attributed to Allison Bernstein. &nbsp;The “wrong-shoe theory” hack involves picking the most unexpected shoe to finish off a look, supposedly giving it ‘more personality.’ &nbsp;Frankly, I think it’s just another name for ‘juxtaposition’ in an outfit. &nbsp;Something&nbsp;<b>Angie,&nbsp;</b>and forum members, have been discussing since before I joined YLF - 12+ years ago! &nbsp;You know - jean jackets worn with dresses, sneakers with skirts, sparkly sweaters with denim jeans, etc.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398411 Fri, 07 Nov 2025 21:00:01 +0000 Jenni NZ 2398411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very good Carla! Lovely new loafers. Maybe they fit that theory but I don’t know enough about it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw%e2%80%a6more-black-than-brown#post-2398409 Fri, 07 Nov 2025 20:55:19 +0000 Carla 2398409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wore the outfit pictured below to the Sportsplex this morning, then returned home after a swim to read the blog. &nbsp;Guess it meets the black &amp; brown outfit brief - though it is more black than brown. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>The floral patterned turtleneck is one of my oldest garments. &nbsp;The Adidas trackies are from my fitness capsule. &nbsp;I wanted to wear my newest purchase - Naturalizer leather loafers in a cognac colour. &nbsp;Is this what’s called ‘the wrong shoe theory’? &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for looking!</div></p>
