I like the style better with the skirt than with the jeans, though; I would like to see the blouse pulled up a little bit to show the front of the jeans, kind of like how it is on the model pics. It may just be how you're standing for the photo, though. In any case, these colors are so great on you. I like the open toe booties with 1--they don't look too heavy for the outfit, imo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mixing-old-with-new#post-1507857 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 02:55:45 +0000 MTBGirl 1507857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you shedev! Thank you Brooklyn. I'm just starting to branch out into cropped territory. We shall see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mixing-old-with-new#post-1507775 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 23:59:17 +0000 Brooklyn 1507775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all these but my fave is no 3. You look great in those jeans! The top is very pretty but I think the jeans would also work with something a bit shorter or semi tucked. Love your hair too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mixing-old-with-new#post-1507638 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 19:47:57 +0000 shedev 1507638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like everything.

I wasn't sure about those shoes with it, even though I can be very casual at work. At first I tried the same sweater in purple iris which picked up colors in the skirt but the shoes looked baaad with it.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mixing-old-with-new#post-1507247 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 08:52:22 +0000 Maneera 1507247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Rachylou. I love #3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mixing-old-with-new#post-1507244 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 08:39:34 +0000 rachylou 1507244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 &amp; 3. #2, I feel the skirt and sandals conflict with the sweater... Sort of too off duty for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mixing-old-with-new#post-1507120 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 02:15:20 +0000 MTBGirl 1507120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks abc! I was pleasantly surprised that I could use the cardigan to top the new shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mixing-old-with-new#post-1507102 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 01:46:55 +0000 abc 1507102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love 3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mixing-old-with-new#post-1507089 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 01:34:25 +0000 MTBGirl 1507089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you cjh! The blue suede shoes are so amazing! I don't want to take them off! I never wore birkenstocks or any their type and when I slipped these on they were like a suede hug for my foot and they don't fall off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mixing-old-with-new#post-1507061 Wed, 17 Jun 2015 00:39:54 +0000 cjh 1507061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All very nice looks. You look casual yet polished! My favorite is pic #2 because of the colorful skirt and the blue suede shoes. Great outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---mixing-old-with-new#post-1506705 Tue, 16 Jun 2015 11:35:20 +0000 MTBGirl 1506705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've gone through my closet and the things that fit and I like I am styling to evaluate the keepers. I am also trying to get a vibe for what my style actually is. Polished casual is what I've come up with so far, with maybe a skew to boho?</p> <p>#1 - New top J.Jill cardigan and sleeveless button/tie top with very old skirt (Macy's Worthington) that I've always loved but never seemed to be able to style. It has an angled hem that's not really showing well in pic. Worn with Clarks perforated peep toe booties (LOVE) but as taking pic I thought looked a little bottom heavy and when I got home tried with my grey wedges and will wear them next time. The skirt has periwinkle/grey/ink pattern.</p> <p>#2 - New J.Jill sweater over old tank, with old skirt (Chicos outlet) and new shoes. I always fell this skirt too body con but styled like this I thought it looked ok. Please tell me if these shoes are out of place here. They are so comfy and I thought the blue top balanced them?</p> <p>#3 - New J.Jill sleeveless again, in pattern, with old Chicos topper, old bootcut jeans and Clarks wedges for a Friday. These shoes are going strong after two years.</p> <p>These J.Jill pieces are so light and allow me to layer but still have coverage if I have to remove the topper.</p> <p>Thanks for looking! Input appreciated! And yay for being able to start to add finds to WIW posts! &nbsp;: )</p>
