I like to think my movie would be better written, though. (No offense to anyone who likes that franchise; my beef is really with the writing, not the subject matter.)</p> <p>Anyway, I think blue is my signature color, so I'm surprised it took me this long to get blue booties. I've had blue ballet flats, but I don't wear flats as much these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888803 Mon, 12 Feb 2018 16:06:30 +0000 JAileen 1888803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good use of your blue booties. I really like 4. I like your shades of blue. (That sounds like a movie title!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888635 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 23:18:29 +0000 Christina F. 1888635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane, The Cat, Aurore - I love the elephants. The wrinkled collar didn’t feel crisp enough under the crisp blazer. I wonder if the tee would do better hung up, if I want to wear it that way. I may also be able to add some under bed storage that will help with the overfull drawers. I may need a solution like that for graphic tees that I intend to dress up a bit for work.</p> <p>La Ped - sometimes I love things better on others too. You are clearly craving something edgier. I guess it’s a HEWI for you. I just tried these on a whim as I needed more booties with a slight heel as I add bootcut to my wardrobe. </p> <p>Jussie - yep those are pretty much the colors. I need something to go with all those patterned tops! </p> <p>Angie - yay! Progress! Thank you.</p> <p>Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. It’s hard to feel well dressed in winter, and posting here has helped me achieve that more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888625 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 22:30:30 +0000 Momo 1888625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 1 and 4! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888573 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 20:48:25 +0000 Angie 1888573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The best set of outfits I've seen you post,<b> Christina</b>.

I really like outfits #1 and #4. Even if it didn’t work out well, the T with your jacket is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888386 Sun, 11 Feb 2018 10:16:17 +0000 jussie 1888386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits.

My next fave is #2.<br /> Love the moto sweater and the booties, especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888169 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 19:32:34 +0000 Katerina 1888169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits! I especially like no 1. Lovely jacket and fun top. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888158 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 19:08:47 +0000 LaPed 1888158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #4 -- I'm coveting that striped moto sweater. If only I could find "my" blue booties. This style looks so good on others, which is why I keep trying similar models, it just doesn't feel right on me. sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888156 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 19:01:02 +0000 Aurore 1888156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how all your outfits have an interesting detail, such as the elephants on #1 or the check pattern of #3. It make them all vibrant and distinctive! </p> <p>Outfit #1 looks great on the photo, but I agree with Jane - if you don't fit well wearing it, then it's not OK. I'm sure you could find many other ways of wearing that gorgeous elephant tee! </p> <p>I LOVE outfit #4, with the structured striped moto sweater! It looks really great on you.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888149 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 18:44:44 +0000 The Cat 1888149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chic blue suede boots! (I have a similar pair and will wear them more in spring than now in deep winter.) And what a great variety of interesting tops to wear with your dark bottoms! Fab combos! The elephants are charming, and I don't think you need a necklace with that tee. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888145 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 18:34:50 +0000 Helena 1888145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888129 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 18:19:52 +0000 Jane 1888129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like 1, I like the t shirt with the elephants under. But if it isn't comfy and you felt uneasy about it, it doesn't work! </p> <p>My sister learnt to fold when she worked at The Gap, and I envy her! I did try a folding frame thing, which was good, but then I gave up and now I hang everything I can. </p> <p>The blue cardigan has great stripes, and those blue boots are super.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888127 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 18:12:42 +0000 Christina F. 1888127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks deluded and smittie! I like the outfit a lot. The problems with the tee we’re probably only noticeable to me in person. I can switch the tee out, so the whole outfit is far from a bust. </p> <p>I had another picture that shows the neckline of the tee. I guess it just didn’t lay flat enough at the collar, which is a laundering/sorting problem. My drawers are stuffed and I am terrible at folding. They won’t be less stuffed until I get a bigger place and a bigger bureau, so maybe I should learn to fold. (It’s not likely I’d stick to it though.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888124 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 18:02:14 +0000 Anonymous 1888124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh christina! Outfit #1! The jacket is perfect on you! I love the structure it gives you. The booties are PERFECT with the dark pants. I didn’t notice any issues with the tshirt or lack of necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888123 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 17:58:16 +0000 delurked 1888123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how you’re working your blue booties in 1 and 4. Those are probably my favorite two outfits here, even if the tee in 1 didn’t quite work for you under the blazer. I think the sweater in 4 nicely shows your curves and narrow waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---blue-suede-boots-and-tweed#post-1888105 Sat, 10 Feb 2018 17:17:22 +0000 Christina F. 1888105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has been a weather challenged week, since the end of my no jeans challenge (I went through Monday.)</p> <p>1. This was yesterday. I needed to wear layers as I had allergy shots. I remembered that I needed layers last minute and had to scrap my original plans. I had wanted to wear a blazer and tee outfit in the coming week or so, but I just grabbed a tee. I love this one, but I realized that the collar was a bit floppy and it was a bit clingy. I didn’t love this tee under this blazer. I’d pair it with something else. This outfit also reaky needed a necklace, which I realized too late. Ah well, I did have to get up early. I did wear my new blue booties - LOVE. </p> <p>2. This is today. It’s going to rain a lot, but will be warmer than usual. I’m seeing a Broadway play and going to a fancy dinner - gift from the in laws. I wanted to wear a dress anyway, so I paired this new shift with waterproof booties. I am pleased with the results. I’d like this even better with the blue booties but they are suede. The shift replaces a shift I’d had for years that needed to be purged. </p> <p>3. Very warm sweater on one of the colder days this week. The sweater is fun and did the heavy lifting for the outfit. </p> <p>4. Blue moto sweater, bootcuts and blue booties. Not quite a column of color, but I was in Shades of Blue. </p> <p>5. Fun popover and sweater. I mostly wanted to be comfy that day. This fit the bill. </p> <p>I took a stab at collecting my essentials but I’m still struggling with the concept. They’re also all navy or black, except for a few grey pieces. That’s because I like bright/deep color and pattern but not all over. I’m also more comfortable in dark bottoms and have an earlier time finding them. These outfits demonstrate this. I may think about essentials more and post next week. I believe they have changed over the past year, which is why I’m struggling. </p> <p>That said, I’ve been seeking out red and pinks and have had some success,<br /> including the shift in this post. I’ll probably wear some of that for the Valentine’s Day festivities next week. </p>
