I love that the tights and top are deep red, which goes well with a dark denim skirt, and see there is a matching color print in your scarf, too, which ties all together! It's an interresting look, and would love to see more of these on women of all ages, if done like you(properly!)thus I love it the most both with the ballet flats or the high boots, and for a matter(?) just less with the midcalf boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs/page/2#post-777229 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 15:59:19 +0000 JR 777229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, one and all. I do find it interesting that there has been such a varied response to both the footwear and the red tights themselves. To me that says that it is very much a matter of individual taste. Which means I might just as well do whatever I feel like. ;o) Or switch it around, depending on the mood of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-777091 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 06:24:57 +0000 Jenava 777091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these version except without the jacket. I see a bit of fit issue at the waist of the skirt (and empty belt loops? I confess to a poison eye for exposed, unfilled belt loops).</p> <p>But with the jacket I love, love, love it! Personally I like all the footwear choices. Fun and vibrant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-777074 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 04:56:55 +0000 Kiwichik 777074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving the red legs and the scarf. I actually prefer the longer boots, then the booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776991 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 02:43:29 +0000 Anonymous 776991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Out of all of them, I prefer the ballet flats the best. I think I am in favor of a less segmented look. I think there is lots of segmentation going on at the same time with the other shoe choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776983 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 02:23:39 +0000 shiny 776983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the outlier here-- I prefer with the ballet flats! I LOVE this on you and I can't understand the objections. It's really no different, to my eye, than wearing colored jeans. Is it? No. Then again maybe my eye is just accustomed to it since I see colored tights quite a lot in Boston. (Okay not that we are the fashion capital of the world.. heh).</p> <p>That said, I personally prefer topping bright tights with black microfishnets or black patterned tights, as it tones it down and makes it more subtle. That's because I'm just not that daring. But I don't own any colored jeans either (okay I have a pair in the mail... I'm going to try it out). </p> <p>The tall boots are my least favorite as I think it looks too choppy, color wise. Either go full on with ballet flats for long strip of color, or don't. You could try the tall boots with red tights with black microfishnets over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776975 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 02:12:24 +0000 Debora 776975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Aida said. Great scarf and you look fab in skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776967 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 02:05:10 +0000 Aida 776967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both booted versions look fab to me! The two with the flats read a little too twee, but textured dark tights would be super with those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776835 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 00:20:01 +0000 catgirl 776835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not age inappropriate at all! I vote mid-boots. Not liking the ballet flats and tights. But the outfit is one of my faves on you so far! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776828 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 00:15:03 +0000 JR 776828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm most comfortable with the tall boots and just a hint of the red too. Although when the jacket is off, the larger block of the red shirt balances the red below a little better, it seems to me, so it's not so bad with the flats. But the flats were just for at home anyway, so not so serious. I'm allowed to be as unbalanced as I want at home. In both senses of the word. Ahem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776751 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:41:32 +0000 morethanbeige 776751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun look. Beautiful scarf. I think I would prefer it with dark tights, but that's just me. Tall boots, dark tights -- perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776735 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:28:17 +0000 Deborah 776735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your outfit looks great and the coloured tights are not age inappropriate:). I also prefer the taller boots as they create better proportions and I quite like that they offer a "hint" of the red tights which I find more interesting g and attractive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776730 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:23:15 +0000 Raisin 776730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red tights look great on you, I just like the outfit the best with the high boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776720 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 22:14:01 +0000 Ingunn 776720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see that a red skirt might be a challenge. But a brown? Or burgundy? A lot calmer, but more in the same value range as the red, then the colors will blend. THAT would work - promise! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776674 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:40:49 +0000 JR 776674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, you enabler you! A red skirt... I had a fake leather one when I was 13, and I think that was the last time. But such a fun idea! Matching the red would be the challenge then. I will keep my eyes open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776658 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:27:46 +0000 Ingunn 776658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks so not age-inappropriate! I love colored tights, and you wear them so well. I think I prefer the tall boots here to avoid too many similar sizes/lengths of color blocks along your legs. If you want, you could try the red tights with the booties, but wear a red skirt instead. Then the height of the booties will be just fine. Or black tights, of course. I'm happy to hear that you and Freckles had a good time together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776630 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:07:55 +0000 JR 776630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil, you are hilarious.</p> <p>I do hope those booties are not something that I'm going to have difficulty making work. I was so happy to find them. But I am starting to question their height. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776626 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 21:04:54 +0000 JulieJohn 776626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, look at you! I really like these, esp #3!!! Gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776617 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 20:54:49 +0000 pil 776617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You wild thing.</p> <p>My first thought was to go with the knee highs, get comfortable with that look and then ease into the booties. Then I read Shannon and Suz' comments about proportions and think they have a point : ) Of course I never would have come to that conclusion on my own.</p> <p>When you DO get your tweety bird tights......I had a tweety bird back pack in junior high school. Now I'm sorry I no longer have it to share with you : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776510 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:38:34 +0000 Sona 776510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the tall boots too. age is just a number. style is ageless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776502 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:30:57 +0000 amiable 776502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it lots! Way to rock the red legs - makes me want some colored tights! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776498 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:26:45 +0000 Suz 776498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! I prefer it with the tall boots for the reason Shannon gave. I love the colour with denim. And I do not think it is at all age-inappropriate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776494 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:25:02 +0000 JR 776494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tweety Bird tights! Oh Thistle, you had me spluttering with that! No danger of me pushing my comfort zone that far...</p> <p>I did think about wearing a belt, but I spent most of the day with the sweater on and closed at waist level, so I decided it wasn't worth it and I would spare myself the extra bulk. But I do get the point. Especially after seeing the photos.</p> <p>The scarf is an old example of pushing my comfort zone. It was given to me years ago, and I didn't like it to begin with. But it gradually grew on me, and now I love it. Another example of why I am not too quick to purge things, especially accessories. Fashion changes, my tastes change, and the wheel goes around. And it's the only scarf I have that combines red and navy, so it was a natural with this outfit and all the more so since I was going out, and the warmth at the throat was a must. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776472 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:10:55 +0000 Sara L. 776472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love colored tights! They bring a touch of color to winter outfits. I prefer the outfits with the boots and booties better than the one with flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776463 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:06:26 +0000 Thistle 776463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three outfits, and I think you great in all of them! I do not think colored tights as you are wearing them are age inappropriate. (I saw a teenage girl here wear tweety bird tights - those I would not recommend)</p> <p>I like the tall boots best, but honestly, any of them would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776448 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:59:15 +0000 missvee 776448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love coloured or textured tights so this outfit is good in my book. I prefer the taller boot - very sleek. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776435 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:45:38 +0000 Anonymous 776435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have great legs, yes. Although for this outfit, I prefer the taller boots. I also would like to see a belt on the skirt.</p> <p>Good for you to get outside your comfort zone. I am totally not in tight headspace but you have inspired me to try tights and a skirt sometime soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776431 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:39:59 +0000 Anonymous 776431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your expressions are priceless. I also have a poisoned eye for colored tights and would have liked black better, but I think you pull it off. I like the first photo best with the flats followed by the knee high boots. The scarf is lovely. You might try adding a belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776425 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:36:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 776425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you're purshing your comfort zone a bit JR - good for you! Isn't it fun? I love the red tights and prefer it with the higher boots. Not because I don't want more red tights to show but because I think the proportions work better with this outfit. Your scarf is gorgeous BTW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---red-legs#post-776423 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:34:19 +0000 modgrl 776423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your whole outfit except the tights. I have a poison eye for non-neutral color or patterned tights.... it would work better for me with black tights and boots. </p>
