The cardi is wrong with this outfit but mght work with jeans or belted with a pencil skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784956 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 02:47:53 +0000 RunnerChick 784956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily, this is a great outfit. I love the print of the skirt, and the cobalt just pops against it. </p> <p>You had Vibram outsoles put on the flats? Dang! I didn't know one could do that. I need to research that more, as I think I'm one of those people that's hard on my shoes too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784947 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 02:40:43 +0000 Jaime 784947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue is stunning on you and I love the pointy toes and skirt. Agree about the cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784938 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 02:23:13 +0000 Jewell 784938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore that rose print skirt. I also like the color of the knit top you paired it with. It feels fresh and unexpected. Btw your thread title just inspired one of my style resolutions for the coming year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784855 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 23:32:38 +0000 Emily 784855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! I like the idea of a white topper with this outfit, and went with that cardi because it was the only one I had in white. It is at least a size too big, though. definitely something shorter/more streamlined would be better... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784741 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:56:55 +0000 Lisa 784741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with others, I really like this outfit with the white topper. Maybe a cropped cardigan or jacket, something more streamlined to echo the line of the outfit. This cardigan may work in a casual look with BF jeans perhaps? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784731 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:38:44 +0000 amyreh 784731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love, love, love this color, and you look great in a pencil skirt. Would love to see this with a cropped jacket instead of the cardigan : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784714 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:20:34 +0000 Asingh 784714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Emily, cobalt, white and black look great together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784658 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:52:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 784658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Ceit, I adore everything about this outfit except for the cardigan. Keep the cardigan for cozying up on a cold evening with jeans though. The flats are great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784655 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:47:01 +0000 kkards 784655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like the cardigan, just not with this outfit.<br /> love the blue shirt, and would love to see the skirt with a cardiagan in that color family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784648 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:35:08 +0000 Sona 784648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the skirt!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784639 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 17:23:18 +0000 Charmian 784639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe not <em>this</em> cardigan, but if you decide to purge it please consider bringing in another white item into your wardrobe; you look lovely and fresh with white close to your face.</p> <p>Are you sure it's the cardigan and not the proportions? I typically prefer a cropped silhouette with pencil skirts, though I'll be the first to admit I don't have a very good eye for proportion!</p> <p>Love the texture on the skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784197 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 01:40:30 +0000 JR 784197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! Have you tried it with the top untucked? I love the colour of the top, and the print of the skirt.</p> <p>I have to agree the cardigan is less than wonderful (mine never gets any love either) although I love the brightening effect of the white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784192 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 01:37:12 +0000 Carole 784192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute shoes, love the pointy toe! Beautiful skirt, too! Good tip about protecting leather shoes, I have only done that with suede in the past. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784177 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 01:19:06 +0000 Caro in Oz 784177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all except for the cardigan. I'd love to see these again with a fitted jacket of some sort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784156 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 01:04:52 +0000 Suz 784156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job interpreting the rubric! I love that skirt on you, and you look lovely in the blue. I do agree the cardi is ready to pass on. But I hope you'll wear a slightly different version of this outfit again, with a different cardi or a jacket. I think a tonal look would be great here - not as high contrast as the white, but maybe a different grey or ink blue or something? Or go the opposite way, with another pop of colour? </p> <p>Smart of you to take all those precautions with the shoes. I hope they last a bit better for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784053 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:34:23 +0000 Anonymous 784053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything about this except the cardigan. Great find on the shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---color-pattern-texture-shine#post-784035 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:04:35 +0000 Emily 784035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my outfit for work today...</p> <p>Color: Scarf Neck Knit Top (Jacob)<br /> Pattern: Rose Print Pencil Skirt (Rickis)<br /> Texture/Shine: Vintage Cuff Bracelet</p> <p>I am also wearing a pair of new pointy toed flats from Aldo. As per the great answers I got about increasing the lifespan of my flats, they are leather, sprayed with protectant spray, and I had vibram outsoles put on them. They were also on sale, because I suspect that I am one of those people who is hard on my shoes.</p> <p>Lastly, that Cardigan. Oh dear. I was on the fence about it when I put it on this morning, but now that I see the pictures it is headed straight for the "pass" pile... </p>
