I wear it way too often, and should look into buying some different watches, because I always wear this one. Weird that it shows brown on your monitor! I don't think I actually own anything brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---buttoned-up-with-pops-of-color#post-790492 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 06:56:27 +0000 Asingh 790492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I like the outfit on you. Also like the pop of red shoes peeking from under the trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---buttoned-up-with-pops-of-color#post-790419 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 04:12:47 +0000 JR 790419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unusual top! I like it.</p> <p>I really like your cuff bracelet (or is that a watch?) with this outfit. It does communicate that image of power you were looking for.</p> <p>Funny, the whole outfit is reading brown on my monitor. I am glad to read that it was actually black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---buttoned-up-with-pops-of-color#post-790314 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 02:19:24 +0000 Raisin 790314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the feminine/masculine mix too. It's a great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---buttoned-up-with-pops-of-color#post-790253 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:10:48 +0000 Atlantia 790253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz and Emily, ordinarily I wouldn't consider myself team Dressy OR team Feminine. So odd that the look we all like better had those qualities! I think today I felt very buttoned up and formal, while in the dress I felt a bit edgy. Hmmm.</p> <p>Sarah and Angie, you're right, the juxtaposition is fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---buttoned-up-with-pops-of-color#post-790234 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:01:54 +0000 Emily 790234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That top is fantastic! I really like this outfit but, like you, prefer your dress/booties ensemble. Perhaps it is that this outfit is more androgynous, and the other was more feminine? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---buttoned-up-with-pops-of-color#post-790212 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:45:44 +0000 Angie 790212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Sarah said. Nice juxtaposition! YLF </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---buttoned-up-with-pops-of-color#post-790190 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:34:38 +0000 sarah 790190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this! I like the juxtaposition of the feminine and masculine elements. And I also like the simple clean lines. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---buttoned-up-with-pops-of-color#post-790162 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:06:17 +0000 Suz 790162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit, too, and it looks good on you. </p> <p>Both are fairly minimal, clean lined, modern classic (to my eye). </p> <p>This one is a bit masculine (which I happen to like, so that is not a criticism). </p> <p>The other one was more feminine, dressy, and figure flattering in the extreme. (This one is not Unflattering, but the other one was brilliant.) </p> <p>Also, the other one was simpler in terms of colours...this one has more going on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---buttoned-up-with-pops-of-color#post-790132 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 23:28:11 +0000 Atlantia 790132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a business lunch today, so I wanted to look a bit older, powerful, but still approachable. I really wish the hem of this blue shirt were longer, so that it would stick out of the stripe top more. As it was, it sticks out less than an inch, which looks funny, so I tucked it in.<br /> I like this outfit, I really do. But not as much as my previous dress/cardi/bootie outfit. <a href="http://bit.ly/TI8tG3" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/TI8tG3</a> I can't really put my finger on why, and I'm hoping you ladies can chime in with your thoughts. I don't necessarily think it is anything in the components, just less in tune with how I picture my personal style. Hmmmm.</p> <p>1&amp;2. New black wide leg trousers, blue 3/4 sleeve button up, black/grey knit top with lace trim, and red patent pumps.<br /> 3. Closeup of lace trim on top. </p>
