Track pants wouldn't have come to mind at all if I hadn't seen your other post. These look like tuxedo pants with the dressy jacket and shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-782193 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:50:17 +0000 celia 782193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was reticent about the stripe being white but after seeing this beautiful outfit I became a believer.You look fab!<br /> Funny how this pants allow you to have different personae </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-782125 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 13:33:42 +0000 Janet 782125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I meant to add back when I first posted this, that pairing these pants with my green leather moto made me feel a little like a race car driver. Not necessarily a bad thing! I might have to break out that look this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-782062 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:09:57 +0000 Ingunn 782062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look on you, and have no suggestions. I agree that blue and green are better than red with these pants! Great style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-782058 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 07:54:56 +0000 CocoLion 782058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! But as someone who has three ... no four pairs of tuxedo striped/track pants style bottoms, I may be a little biased. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-781394 Sat, 24 Nov 2012 23:32:16 +0000 Sveta 781394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed this post but just have to comment - WOW! I was not sure about those pants when you posted K/R but you styled them perfectly here - and this blue color is amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779953 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:17:58 +0000 Anonymous 779953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very modern and very fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779912 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:22:48 +0000 Jamie 779912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad they could fix it for you. I don't think they could have done much with the defect on mine. On to hunt down a replacement! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779648 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 00:48:55 +0000 Suz 779648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look like tuxedo pants! This is fun - it reminds me of a look I wore to the WritersFest for an event, with the black placket shirt that Shevia sent me and my Doc Saras. It was a lot of look (as this is) but definitely fun!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779572 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:06:56 +0000 Raisin 779572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you did a great job of dressing up the pants. I don't get the track pant vibe at all. I love the graphic element of the shirt, and the velvet jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779563 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:00:05 +0000 Tina.b 779563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blue velvet jacket in contrast to the graphic feel of the pants. I have some JBrands skinnies with suede stripes down the side that I've never worn. This outfit gives me some great ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779531 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:32:35 +0000 Thistle 779531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admit I was not a fan of the pants when did the Keep Return post.</p> <p>Boy was I wrong! These look fab the way you styled them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779529 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:28:36 +0000 citygirldc 779529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this whole look. It's so rockin' chic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779455 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:56:14 +0000 Caro in Oz 779455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it - going to go &amp; play with mine now - thanks for all the ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779418 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:06:41 +0000 Janet 779418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jamie, my shirt had a defect too! I took it to Nordstrom and their alterations department repaired it so well I can't even tell there was ever a problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779410 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 20:00:15 +0000 Jamie 779410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this, especially with that lovely blue jacket! And I like the repeated vertical lines in black and white. I had this blouse and found it worked better buttoned all the way up, too. I ended up returning it because it was defective - the shirt fabric separated from the button placket. Too bad. I liked it. I just didn't feel like trying another one. It looks terrific on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779394 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:27:08 +0000 JR 779394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing like velvet to counteract the track pants vibe. :o) I think that is a good way to make these look like tuxedo pants instead of jogging pants. Good job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779390 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:24:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 779390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this the VC houndstooth blouse? If so, I have it and also find it works best buttoned up when wearing a jacket.</p> <p>I think this works - you have kept the colour scheme to a minimum which I think is a good idea since you already have visual interest in the shirt and pants; love blue with black; your footwear and handbag work with the outfit rather than compete with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779373 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:08:01 +0000 teri 779373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---the-track-pants-stripe-jeans-and-houndstooth#post-779371 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:06:51 +0000 Janet 779371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I tried this with my red moto jacket and felt like I was about to enter the bullfighting ring... so I wore this blue Esprit velvet blazer instead. It also worked with my green leather jacket. </p> <p>Since this houndstooth blouse is so drapey, the neckline sat better when I buttoned it all the way up, and I added a necklace for a bit of a collar effect. Simple black booties, black belt and black purse. I think I'm going to try these pants with oxfords next time I wear them.</p> <p>What do you think of the black placket on the shirt? At first I wasn't sure whether it was too much vertical line-age, but I kind of like it for the graphic quality. </p> <p>Comments and suggestions welcome! </p>
