My favorite is with the belt and the white slides.<br />"Basic" around here refers to an ensemble that is safe because it's so ubiquitous. No fashion risks taken; a uniform; often a bit sloppy. Your leopard belt takes this outfit several steps above basic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately/page/2#post-1903734 Tue, 03 Apr 2018 07:26:57 +0000 rachylou 1903734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For some reason, I was expecting black leggings and a hoodie... lavender loves you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately/page/2#post-1903669 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 22:36:00 +0000 Ledonna N. 1903669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something was off for me in the 1st set of pictures.&nbsp; I love the suggestions that suz made.&nbsp; that popped it just right for me.&nbsp; I agree about the color fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately/page/2#post-1903643 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 21:10:44 +0000 Sal 1903643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am liking the modern lilac look - my shoe pic is the white mules.</p> <p>This colour suits you well and I can see variations of this look being great over your spring summer!</p> <p>I have avoided all shades of purple for a long time - I overdosed on periwinkle for a couple of years but this is probably the best shade on me.&nbsp; I will see if it is in retail here and give lilac/lavender/purple another try and see how I feel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately/page/2#post-1903636 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 20:31:58 +0000 Angie 1903636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lisa</b>, thanks for the explanation. #1<i> is</i> simple, but super cute nonetheless. All renditions are a hit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately/page/2#post-1903624 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 19:58:42 +0000 Helena 1903624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, call me BB then, because I would wear this 100% and think it looks great :D</p> <p>I've never really understood the basic b**** reference ... I think people use it differently but from what I can tell, it often seems to mean being kinda mainstream and/or classic? Again, I could make it my style moniker if that's the case #ownit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately/page/2#post-1903578 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 16:29:55 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1903578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, it's not really meant in the usual sense. I just think it's funny that "basic bitch" is what my daughter says about a not-much-effort look, when she's recognizing that she could step up her game. And that was what I thought about the first way I showed this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately/page/2#post-1903573 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 16:20:38 +0000 Angie 1903573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All renditions of the outfit are KILLER. Pastel purple is one of your best colours. </p> <p>I don’t understand the reference to “bitch”, but would appreciate an explanation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately/page/2#post-1903559 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 14:42:57 +0000 Suz 1903559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh!!

Your story about slipping on the tile floor...yikes! No wonder I always end up in lug soles.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903510 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 12:19:18 +0000 RobinF 1903510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love this!

I really like the addition of the animal print belt and white shoes, especially the boots. Basic outfits can be the hardest, because every element needs to work to really shine. I love the length of your sweater, it is not too long and sits perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903422 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 04:07:11 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1903422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in this color. And I liked the matchy version of the outfit. . . but then when I saw the next iterations, I like them even better. The leopard belt is a great addition. The white booties add a fierce touch, and the loafer mules give an of-the-moment casual vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903409 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 02:41:23 +0000 Jaime 1903409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! And you have great white shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903388 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 01:33:46 +0000 Aquamarine 1903388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it as is! Such a pretty color on you. Slight preference for the white mules over the boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903375 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 00:38:03 +0000 Anonymous 1903375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Umm- love this color on you. I don’t have a problem with matchy match when it’s deliberate like in top looks. If you think it’s too matchy I would add another coordinating but bold accent color in statement necklace or scarf to break it up- but I think what you have is fine. Like how you changed it up with boots- totally different vibe. Great job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903371 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 00:31:22 +0000 Windchime 1903371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your lavender sweater is gorgeous on you! As others said, it really brings out your blue eyes. The leopard belt is an inspired choice, and I like both white footwear renditions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903361 Sun, 01 Apr 2018 23:51:54 +0000 Carla 1903361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fresh and perfect for Easter/April. I love the combination with the leopard belt and the white slides best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903352 Sun, 01 Apr 2018 23:28:49 +0000 cindysmith 1903352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't change a thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903343 Sun, 01 Apr 2018 22:09:23 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1903343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krish, my daughter claims that her own look is basic bitch, meaning I guess to her not much effort as she’s a bit of a preppy minimalist, but she goes to university in Manhattan so simultaneously feels she ought to step up her game. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903335 Sun, 01 Apr 2018 21:45:14 +0000 krishnidoux 1903335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A dark blue burgundy would look lovely with this sweater, and so would racing green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903332 Sun, 01 Apr 2018 21:40:50 +0000 krishnidoux 1903332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha!Ha!Ha! I love the name AND the concept. But how on earth did your daughter come up with associating a basic sweater with jeans being the apparel of choice for a B***?&nbsp;<br />But first thing first: this very trendy shade of lavender does suit you admirably. On both pics. You can tell from the first one, how it flatters your striking eye color. The fit is quite perfect too: not too fitted, hanging straight down just enough. I like that you have not tucked it in the first outfit, but I must say is also looks great tucked, although gives off a different vibe. To my eye, the absolute best footwear are the mules in the last pic. White booties come in close second but the outfit becomes just one notch more formal. I think two lavender accessories in the first outfit is a bit too much IMO. I would keep the purse, like you did in the subsequent ones. But that said, I admit having a poison eye for shoes matching your top, as it visually shortens legs in between... I have shorter legs, but you have a great figure, and still look tall and elegant in the first outfit.&nbsp;<br />Leopard belt is genius. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903327 Sun, 01 Apr 2018 21:19:24 +0000 jussie 1903327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful sweater! I also like those earrings with it. Each rendition is good but if I had to choose I’d say the third one with the flat white shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903315 Sun, 01 Apr 2018 20:22:06 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1903315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The boots are new. I’ve only worn them one time. Out to lunch with a friend. And the heels were so new and slippery that I wiped out on the tile floor in the hall on the way to the ladies’ room and fell into the arms of the restaurant proprietor (fortunately I’ve been a patron of the restaurant for years so he owes me). Was embarrassing though and I got taps for the heels and have just been awaiting a nice dry day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903310 Sun, 01 Apr 2018 19:41:56 +0000 Anonymous 1903310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - again. &nbsp;I much prefer the pants with a belt, and I love both pair of white shoes.....which I can't believe I'm saying. Those boots are beyond amazing. &nbsp;Have you worn them out and about yet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---basic-bch-lavender---since-we-are-on-the-topic-lately#post-1903300 Sun, 01 Apr 2018 18:21:29 +0000 unfrumped 1903300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect color and look versatile! I like adding the warm rich neutrals- leopard, luggage tan leather-with the whites and lilacs. </p>
