A little wide, maybe a little too cowboy. #2 is simply lovely, the way everything fits. I think the shoes from #1 could have been ok - I really like them. The animal print of the belt doesn't read PRINT, at least not in pictures... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---capitulating-to-winter#post-826947 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 23:01:48 +0000 Aida 826947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Angie on #1, my immediate thought was that it'd look fab once the necklace came off! The leo slippers are so fun. I think that could even be fun with the top tucked, the belt through the pant loops, and the cardigan open for a bit of impish man-ness :} </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---capitulating-to-winter#post-826762 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:59:17 +0000 Day Vies 826762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved the whimsy touch of the leopard slippers (more eye candy!) from #1. I agree with Lyn67 that belting at the waist under the cardi would work better. Stay warm! (It's very cold in my neck of the woods too, and I have been completely uninspired. I am so happy that you're inspired and putting together so really nice outfits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---capitulating-to-winter#post-826555 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 16:19:38 +0000 Angie 826555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a complete spanner because I LOVE #1! Remove the necklace and you are set. WOW!! You are so getting it, Thistle. I love beholding your style journey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---capitulating-to-winter#post-826552 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 16:16:21 +0000 Amy 826552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've received some great advice. I just wanted to say I love your fun shoes in #1 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---capitulating-to-winter#post-826539 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 16:08:06 +0000 memel 826539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear same color pants and shirt and put the belt under the cardi! I like the idea with a scarf and earrings:)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---capitulating-to-winter#post-826524 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:43:36 +0000 Sarah A 826524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the skinnier belt over the cardi as in #2, but I would vote to reduce the contrast between the shirt and pants. Maybe earrings instead of the necklace? Go for a column of color underneath... trying to find the link.</p> <p>ETA: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2010/09/13/fashion-week-day-4-casual-neutrals-and-a-bright-bag/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2010/09/.....right-bag/</a></p> <p>different colors and shapes but you get the idea... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---capitulating-to-winter#post-826512 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:32:53 +0000 Astrid 826512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second one better too. I agree with Lyn and Ceit, I would try to belt under the cardi. I also think your white sweater/tee might be a bit too short to wear it with pants. I always did this wrong myself in the past, but now I pay more attention to lengths (see also Angie's blog post here <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/23/different-tops-for-skirts-and-pants/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/04/.....and-pants/</a>). This definitely has potential though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---capitulating-to-winter#post-826506 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:21:15 +0000 Anonymous 826506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For 1 I think the belt and necklace are fighting. I think the belt under the cardi would look better, and I think a scarf instead of a necklace </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---capitulating-to-winter#post-826494 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:09:56 +0000 lyn67 826494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, nr 2 is the good one! But why not belt under the cardi? It makes a smoother line on the outer side, but still make a focal point to your lovely waist:-). I do this all the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---capitulating-to-winter#post-826470 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 14:40:47 +0000 Thistle 826470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another cold day here. So unrelenting cold that it burns. </p> <p>Outfit #1 is what I started with. It did not look in the picture like I had thought it would, so I changed. I didn’t like the belt, and once I changed that, I was not comfortable with two different animal prints, so I changed the shoes. Then I ran out of time and needed to go to work! I think #2 is better but still needs help. Not really sure what I could do with it, but at least I am warm! </p> <p>Any help on what I could I have done to make it better is most appreciated. I tried leaving the sweater open to create a line and then added a long necklace. Really wish I could have found those python boots in my size, I think they could have helped save this. </p>
