I especially like your sneakers with your outfit, and I prefer them to plain white. They add a lot of interest to your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180496 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 12:17:44 +0000 RobinF 2180496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that untucking the shirt would change the vibe.

I like this color combo a lot, and sometimes wear it myself. Very sophisticated.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180433 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 05:52:12 +0000 Sloper 2180433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm agreeing with Shevia's comment - different vibes going on (and both look good).&nbsp; I think you can do white sneakers - and that it wouldn't "shorten" you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180411 Fri, 19 Mar 2021 02:45:51 +0000 Jaime 2180411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your outfit a lot but it has a different vibe than the inspo pic, PP's trousers are much more slouchy and her blouse is untucked compared to tucked and belted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180361 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 22:32:50 +0000 unfrumped 2180361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the inspo and your outfit.<br /> I think untucking ads more lightness and maybe more romantic flowy element.<br /> I like Angie’s idea of bookending with a more medium tone than white shoes. It doesn’t follow the formula exactly but is less choppy. Another idea is a 2- tone shoe or reverse color top/ soles ( not to go buy that, but something you might have.<br /> Such a fun post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180342 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 20:13:19 +0000 Jonesy 2180342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the untucked white shirt provides a break for the eye between the very dark navy and the black--without it, they sort of look like they are both black (at least on my monitor).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180320 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 18:33:41 +0000 Suz 2180320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both versions! To my eye, the white soles draw attention and do the job of providing cohesion. But it might be more laid-back with untucking and all white shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180315 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 18:06:30 +0000 Janet 2180315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both versions too, but can see it working untucked as others have mentioned. I think this is the kind of simple formula that can be nudged more glam or more relaxed, depending on mood and day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180311 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 18:00:47 +0000 Style Fan 2180311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both versions.&nbsp; The inspo is more slouchy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180300 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 17:42:50 +0000 kellygirl 2180300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool and subdued! I like your version and the inspo. Maybe try untucking for some slouchy goodness? I think your sneakers work well here but white would be great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180297 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 17:39:25 +0000 rachylou 2180297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a lovely outfit, but I do think it lacks your Glam Rock Zing... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180279 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:40:46 +0000 Anonymous 2180279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked this post too ( The Flair Index? ) . &nbsp;I think I'd prefer the blouse/sweater less tucked and "buttoned up" &nbsp;as per the inspo pic......or a change of footwear , as you already mentioned.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180278 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:37:00 +0000 slim cat 2180278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look - very nice on you! Your sneakers are great and work really well with outfit. I'm into print mixing and imagining the printed belt as well to add more light/white color ( white/grey snake print to echo your shoes?.. ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180274 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:32:11 +0000 Liesbeth 2180274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not blah at all! You did better than the inspo pic imo, which is a minimalist look I find always looks worse irl than in the pics ;). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180273 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:21:51 +0000 cat2 2180273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am of the view bookending dark pants with white will make you look shorter, so I am a no on the white shoe or the white sole. I would vote for a dark shoe with a bit of romantic style to echo the blouse, like a pair of those great embroidered velvet or suede flats or another romantic touch like the Chloe scalloped edges. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180272 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:18:43 +0000 Angie 2180272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute!&nbsp;</p> <p>The white soles pick up the white of the shirt, so there is that fab bit of repetition that allows the eye to rest and appreciate cohesion. White sneakers are a fab option too.</p> <p>Yes to trying the un-tucked white shirt next time.</p> <p>I've seen you bookend your hair beautifully with animal print footwear, <b>UmmLila</b>. That's another way to go here.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---could-it-have-benefited-from-more-bookending#post-2180268 Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:04:28 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2180268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this screen shot was my inspiration for yesterday's outfit: an ivory silk blouse with ruffled cuffs and standup collar, navy v neck sweater, too-big black pants with some rhinestone stars, and glitter sneakers.</p> <p>I liked the outfit when I had it on all day, did zoom calls and walk in it, but when I took a photo in the afternoon, I thought it seemed a little blah.</p> <p>Even though the soles of the sneakers have some white, I think I should have followed the inspiration more closely, untucked the blouse and worn white sneaks. What do you think? </p>
