I finished eating, paid my bill, walked toward the door - and there she was at the bar finishing her own meal!</p> <p>Argh! That is the second time we've tried and failed to dine together at this restaurant. There is always some logistical snafu at this place.</p> <p>Anyways: Pic of what I actually wore. I realize the clutch can't really be seen... another drat. Such a rarity for me to carry a purse, esp. a clutch. Not much occasion for them. But my main point of this is that I really do like the pointy flat idea. </p> <p>Ok! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832818 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:41:44 +0000 rachylou 832818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I admit the food is good. But it's coffee next time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832809 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:36:00 +0000 Anonymous 832809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah man, but heck, at least you look great! I'm Sorry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832805 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:31:05 +0000 amiable 832805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - I'm really loving your top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832804 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:30:36 +0000 rachylou 832804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In anticipation of having to walk far, I did pointy shoes tonite and! actually carried a purse. Had to change sweaters because Lilypup the dog attacked me with her fur. Need to get pics when I get home. </p> <p>But I can't believe this. My friend here has stood me up. I'm eating one expensive meal alone! She's irritating me this week. Sent me 100 text message in a day. It didn't seem like that much until I got an alert! Argh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832793 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:13:48 +0000 Suz 832793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Booties! They will fix ALL. </p> <p>And you are SO pretty. </p> <p>It's the truth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832748 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 02:35:39 +0000 Sarah A 832748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for liking this. I think the tunic is long enough that the points end well below the hip and thus the white stripe doesnt over-emphasize there. On the bandwagon of liking the idea of a bit more trendy shoe here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832740 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 02:30:11 +0000 Anonymous 832740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like everything about this except the shoes -- I don't see Tweedledee at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832717 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 02:14:48 +0000 Janet 832717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're giving me ideas for my striped pants -- thanks!</p> <p>Actually I think the only thing needed to make this great is a change of shoe -- I agree with Zap that booties are the way to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832679 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 01:42:17 +0000 annagybe 832679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want your pants! Though they might be too small for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832678 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 01:40:22 +0000 Angie 832678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Zap about the booties. I don't see any train smashes either! You look quite dramatic - which honey-pie - you are </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832480 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:29:33 +0000 Anonymous 832480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, just pop some booties and you are good to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832479 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:28:11 +0000 Raisin 832479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like it! I love flats though, but if you changed the shoes then you might like the outfit more. It's a great outfit to my eye though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832465 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 22:18:35 +0000 rachylou 832465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are right about the shoes. Pointy flats esp. would have helped a lot. Duh! Have to go to dinner tonight. I'm going to switch out shoes. (Too lazy and cold for a different sweater though.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832429 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:49:37 +0000 Caro in Oz 832429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a great look on you - I'd just change the shoes:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832356 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 20:42:32 +0000 rae 832356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At first, I thought, "What the heck could be wrong with this outfit?"</p> <p>Hearing your concerns, though, I understand why you might feel uncomfortable in it. FWIW, I still like it - I think sometimes the eye has to adjust to a new silhouette. I think you can pull it off because of your slim ankles, wrists, and neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832353 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 20:36:42 +0000 Anonymous 832353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, ok I see some of what you mean but I don't think this is a fail. I do have a somewhat severe poison eye for plain, black flats that are not pointy so I'm totally jaded there. I think the sweater is all sorts of awesome and so are the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---unsuccessful-outfit#post-832335 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 20:18:07 +0000 rachylou 832335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not feeling the fashion pizazz today. I blame headache - actual and metaphorical. I got up and was just, "I'll wear that and that, bah!"</p> <p>Hard to see because of all the black - but I'm wearing black trousers with white stripe, handkerchief sweater tunic (leather in the back), black patent flats, and my trusty trouser socks.</p> <p>I think the problems are these:</p> <p>- the sweater is too fine gauge for the trousers<br /> - the white stripe is like a big arrow to the handkerchief points, which are right around the hips; and the result is a sort of Tweedle Dee.<br /> - the flats are too flat</p> <p>I think:<br /> - the sweater should be reserved for leather pants (if I had any) and skinnies and pencil skirts.<br /> - I should stick to blousy tops with the trousers<br /> - It's time to dust off the trusty court shoes with low block heels (if I refuse to wear heels)</p> <p>Thoughts on this analysis?</p> <p>Also: I need to do something about my hair but need to find a place to get my haircut and am dreading the work of the search... </p>
