There’s something too loungy about it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959809 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 14:57:48 +0000 Angie 1959809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Blush socks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959632 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 22:53:43 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1959632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a boot closer to pant color will work since bookending isn’t something in your wardrobe. I know this style challenge and always had to twerk looks myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959534 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 14:02:25 +0000 catherine 1959534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that pinkish jacket. I’d wear it with a navy top, dark jeans, and navy boots OR a black top, black pants, and black boots.<br /> Your final outfit is very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959501 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 13:02:09 +0000 Janet 1959501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've gotten good feedback already -- I would add that this is a perfect silhouette, but the thing that would make it all work as a cohesive outfit is a scarf that has a pattern that pulls all the colors together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959484 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 12:22:00 +0000 RobinF 1959484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with above, great pieces but nothing to tie them together. Blush shoes would be gorgeous or maybe a tan jacket with the boots. Second outfit is great, love the scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959480 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 10:53:52 +0000 Helena 1959480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! KM, this group is next-level expert. Shevia, I would make a terrible poker player lol!! I'll try everyone's suggestions ... Such subtle things can make such a difference; thanks all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959414 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 02:31:27 +0000 Jaime 1959414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well your dissatisfied look does not bookend well with your happy boots ! Mostly what everyone said. I would actually try a navy (Jeans color) top and leave the rest alone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959409 Tue, 25 Sep 2018 02:19:23 +0000 cjh 1959409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first instinct would be to let the top recede under the blush jacket by wearing cream, light taupe or pale mushroom which would bring the brown tone from the boots, or a boho-lite print or embroidered top with pale pink or blush, beige, medium blue and white, sticking to an effect of light or medium value.</p> <p>One thing about this outfit which has otherwise excellent ingredients that would bother me to wear: very dark top under light topper. I seem to have a poison eye for that. (Once I wore a dark orange shell sweater under a cream cardigan to work, and then went to have my driver’s license renewed, so I had a picture of that uncomfortable combo on my license for the next four years! Ugh!)</p> <p>I do like your black sweater and scarf outfit and you look happier with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959377 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 23:25:36 +0000 K.M. 1959377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I have to say I liked your first outfit very much as it is (maybe I should study everybody's suggestions :)&nbsp; ). I have a similar moto jacket (same shape and color) and I wear it with mostly everything. Your second outfit was great too--that scarf! <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959354 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 21:13:29 +0000 LaPed 1959354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bookending shoes? Burgundy or chocolate shoes would tie in with your hair (or navy or black...). A patterned top that picks up on one of the other colours in the outfit? The teal and the denim look a little clash-y to me, but I have a weird thing about not mixing blues if they have different degrees of warmth. I have very limited selection of blue tops because I tend to dislike the way they look with denim. I love the blush moto!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959344 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 20:52:30 +0000 Greenjeans 1959344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this! &nbsp;Nice job nailing the fit and silhouette. &nbsp;It sounds like you're not sure about color? &nbsp;Here are some that work with blush. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959329 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 20:22:14 +0000 bj1111 1959329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>funny...i could tell from your smile how much you did not like your first outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959327 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 20:19:25 +0000 Anonymous 1959327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in dark colours. I like the first outfit but I love the second.<br />I like that scarf against the dark top as well.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959319 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 19:52:22 +0000 CocoLion 1959319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS the teal color is very flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959318 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 19:51:49 +0000 CocoLion 1959318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have four colors in this outfit. &nbsp;The silhouettes are outstanding. &nbsp;It's just the colors, there are too many. &nbsp;Try three colors and have two items in the outfit that match. &nbsp;</p> <p>For example, a navy top that matches the jeans.<br />Or navy / dark booties that matches the jeans.<br />Or -- buy some blush booties to work with the jacket.</p> <p>I like the outfit you went out in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959315 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 19:44:20 +0000 Katerina 1959315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this thread. The second outfit put a huge smile on my face, it is SO LOVELY. You look stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959313 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 19:37:34 +0000 Helena 1959313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks wise and kind ones! I ended up changing before heading out again ... Just too much brain-work for a Monday lol!! But I learned from that, thanks to you guys! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959304 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 19:05:37 +0000 Sal 1959304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes it is almost right...,and the pieces are terrific. Some ideas-</p> <p>- different top - a Breton with blue in it or blush or even a white tee<br /> - different shoes - navy, blush or metallic?</p> <p>in saying that you still look great!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959299 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:54:32 +0000 Laurie 1959299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore a blush-ish leather jacket with light brown booties last evening and it kept bothering me, so I think it is that combination that might not be working.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />I agree with others who suggest a more neutral sweater, but I really think it is blush + brown that's getting us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959295 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:48:28 +0000 Synne 1959295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not really helpful, but I can't stop thinking that this would be a 10/10 outfit if your jacket was the color of your shirt, and vice versa. You have rich, beautiful coloring, so maybe a more colorful topper would be an even better choice? With that said, you absolutely look very elegant, cool, chic and stylish in this outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959294 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:46:39 +0000 Mirjana 1959294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Torontogirl, try to change top and keep boots and jacket. Boots are great and jacket is beautiful. Maybe, white top, burgundy or stripes , just try and add jewellery or scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959291 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:45:59 +0000 Anonymous 1959291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The individual pieces are great, but you have a mix of clear tones , earth tones, and a dusty pastel......which makes it hard for the eye to find a focus or see it as a whole. &nbsp;A jacket that matched your boots would be great , or a lighter coloured sweater under the jacket....something in an oatmeal colour that would tie in the boots and be at the same level of intensity as the jacket. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959283 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:01:27 +0000 Kim M 1959283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe add jewelry or a scarf that combines the colors better.&nbsp; Accessories are lacking, which may help you get a more cohesive look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959282 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 18:00:35 +0000 Helena 1959282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, there's definitely a mismatch somewhere ... it feels disorganized, which is also why it would *feel* off to me. I think it's the boot, but not sure I have anything in the closet to solve ... might have to play with different combos instead. Thanks ladies!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959280 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 17:54:58 +0000 karen13 1959280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. But was also thinking that if you bookend the jacket (boots or even socks?), or echo the boot color with a bag or necklace or earrings, it might be more cohesive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959279 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 17:54:19 +0000 Carol 1959279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't find any fault with the outfit, but perhaps you could meditate on why it feels bad on, and see if there's something you could switch out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959276 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 17:42:39 +0000 texstyle 1959276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree the color of the boots is what struck me as being maybe just not quite right. I struggle with shoe color too but I think if you had a pair of blush booties or sneaks they would look fab with that jacket. But if it doesn't "feel" right then I wonder, is it the jacket that doesn't feel right or the booties or something else?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959274 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 17:38:17 +0000 Helena 1959274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I almost feel like a need a blush shoe to match the jacket lol ... I have a matching problem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---whats-not-working-1#post-1959273 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 17:34:44 +0000 Barbara Diane 1959273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it’s a really good outfit, and I think another color boot would make the outfit even better. </p>
