I think black will work better with my wardrobe and I do wear patterned black tights a lot in winter.</p> <p>Thanks Suz. I have been following your taupe-ification and realized that although I don't much like beige, I do like taupe and use it often in decorating. I bought this suit (pants come with it) a few months ago and so far have only worn the jacket but will work on bringing it into rotation. I like black with taupe too.</p> <p>The dress is a piece of a skirt suit. I got the skirt, jacket, and dress. It doesn't show but the dress has a bit of a fishtail in the center panel as does the purple jacket so would either have looked good with the repeat or silly and overdone. I will definitely wear the purple jacket again as I do love it and it fits really well.</p> <p>It is 11:00 and my feet are a slight bit achy but I haven't worn heels in months so that is to be expected. Much better than without the inserts. A co-worker calls it granifying the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fair-but-too-late-to-change#post-729527 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:47:29 +0000 rae 729527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I like the bookending! Hope to see the purple again soon, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fair-but-too-late-to-change#post-729524 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:44:31 +0000 Sara L. 729524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the purple jacket but like the outfit better with the taupe one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fair-but-too-late-to-change#post-729517 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:40:22 +0000 Anonymous 729517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that black booties would look best here... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fair-but-too-late-to-change#post-729515 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 15:37:30 +0000 deb 729515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the purple. I think the neckless help the booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fair-but-too-late-to-change#post-729451 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:50:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 729451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think both work, but yes, the taupe jacket version is the best. You look gorgeous in taupe and those booties are fab. Hope the gel insert helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fair-but-too-late-to-change#post-729442 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:38:54 +0000 celia 729442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you did well in changing the jacket, because it goes really well with your shoes.<br /> But that purple jacket is gorgeous so I hope to see it again soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fair-but-too-late-to-change#post-729421 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:11:53 +0000 Anonymous 729421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually liked the purple, I think you achieved bookending with the necklace! But the taupe matching looks nice too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fair-but-too-late-to-change#post-729413 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:03:21 +0000 Suz 729413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy moly, do you ever look TALL when you pop on a pair of heels! There go those forever legs! I hope the shoes don't bother you today. And I love your look!! (Hey, it involves TAUPE!!) But seriously, it works really well. With your long (proportionately) legs, the booties and dark tights work just fine and bookending is also great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fair-but-too-late-to-change#post-729412 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:02:48 +0000 Queen Mum 729412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm, the lighter jacket does seem better, but honestly, I'd switch out to black booties if you have them and work on perfecting the look with the light booties later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---fair-but-too-late-to-change#post-729409 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 12:59:06 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 729409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am running too late so not much time. I tried this with the purple jacket and the visual weight of the color looked off. The booties are too light for the dark tights and dress but I have to get moving so can`t do a full change. I changed out the jacket to a taupe one and hope bookending helps with the color. These booties (Born) make the ball of my left foot ache but I bought gel inserts to test out. Hopefully it will help.</p> <p>Deciding what to wear but must run now. I am way late but it will be a long day so that is okay. </p>
