The pants look even more luscious and they do look better with structured jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1030-1110-black-burgundy-one-hit-one-miss#post-1082264 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 08:15:54 +0000 goldenpig 1082264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Neel, RunsWithDolphins, Rita, Aubergine, Shedev, Una, &amp; Debra!</p> <p>Neel, I know what you mean about the waterfall cardigans. They are tricky.&nbsp;I have a red one that I like, but for some reason the grey one just seems frumpier to me. I also have a grey non-waterfall one that I feel less frumpy in.</p> <p>RunsWithDolphins, I agree a moto jacket would be better. I have a black wool&nbsp;moto that I've worn before with this outfit that I really liked. I&nbsp;also have worn it with the black Spiegel leather jacket.&nbsp;Both of these versions are more me than the one with the cardi. I think I should stick with the version with the wool moto and boots--that's my hands down favorite! Speaking of hands, the outstretched hands are DS1--I was getting ready to put him in the bath, so I had to crop him out of the picture, LOL!</p> <p>Rita, I know what you mean. I was a little late coming to the waterfall cardi trend. Before YLF I was mainly wearing&nbsp;cardi twinsets. Actually come to think of it, my current style&nbsp;could actually swing back to the retro-ness and matchy matchy of the twinsets!</p> <p>Aubergine, I think you've hit on the problem. I think it's the combination of waterfall cardi plus turtleneck plus dangling bead necklace that is screaming Coldwater Creek to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Shedev, I agree I much prefer the first outfit because it seems more luxe and polished.</p> <p>Una, the waterfall cardi might have worked better with your grey beanie, but I returned it...it just felt so much more Una than me!</p> <p>Thanks Debra--I do like burgundy and black a lot--these pants seem to be my favorite jeans lately! I just wish they were a bit higher rise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1030-1110-black-burgundy-one-hit-one-miss#post-1081432 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 18:49:25 +0000 Debra 1081432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in both outfits, love this colour combination </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1030-1110-black-burgundy-one-hit-one-miss#post-1081425 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 18:47:30 +0000 catgirl 1081425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, but I actually like waterfall cardis.&nbsp; I think it's the lack of a structured item that is bothering you.&nbsp; I've realized that makes me feel frumpy too these days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1030-1110-black-burgundy-one-hit-one-miss#post-1081408 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 18:40:56 +0000 shedev 1081408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both outfits. The second one doesn't have the same level of polish and maybe that's why you feel frumpy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1030-1110-black-burgundy-one-hit-one-miss#post-1081222 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:39:47 +0000 Anonymous 1081222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in both outfits! I love burgundy and black together, and the mix of of textures in the first one is gorgeous. </p> <p>I have a weakness for big, cozy sweaters, so&nbsp;I wonder if there's a&nbsp;way to tweak the second outfit while keeping the cardigan. Maybe switching out the turtleneck for&nbsp;a black scoop-neck or v-neck or something so there's a little more skin visible to balance out the covered-up-ness of the cardigan might work?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1030-1110-black-burgundy-one-hit-one-miss#post-1081197 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 14:49:53 +0000 modgrl 1081197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know there are plenty of waterfall cardigans out there these days but they are just not screaming trendy and fashion forward to me right now... I love the first outfit, and think the second would be great with a little more structure on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1030-1110-black-burgundy-one-hit-one-miss#post-1081084 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 10:02:37 +0000 RunswithDolphins 1081084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your choice of greys with the red tones is inspirational. :)</p> <p>You look so sophisticated in outfit #1!&nbsp; The colour combo is amazing and that BJ heart bag is super hot along with the burgundy leather jacket and pencil skirt.&nbsp; HOT!&nbsp; </p> <p>I think outfit #2 is so close but I maybe a more structured top layer would make you feel less frumpy.&nbsp; I agree those waterfall cardis can tend to get away from me too.&nbsp; The grey colour is great with the red snakeskin jeans and black booties.&nbsp; Maybe a grey or black moto jacket? </p> <p>I love the little outstretched hands!&nbsp; LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1030-1110-black-burgundy-one-hit-one-miss#post-1081069 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:37:26 +0000 Neel 1081069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both the outfits though I too feel frumpy in waterfall cardis, so I think I know where you are coming from. &nbsp;The burgundy leather jacket is TDF! &nbsp;I think the structure of the outer layer&nbsp;is what makes the outfits&nbsp;frumpy and unfrumpy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1030-1110-black-burgundy-one-hit-one-miss#post-1081063 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 09:25:40 +0000 goldenpig 1081063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interestingly, both of these outfits had some similar elements, namely the black turtleneck, long chain necklace and burgundy satchel. But I felt much more fab in the work outfit compared to today's MOTG outfit, which felt kind of frumpy to me. What was it--the waterfall cardigan? The grey color? The top feels a little too short and the pants too low-rise and a tad loose, which makes me feel like I am at risk for plumber's crack when I bend over/squat. And the long cardigan plus long necklace over turtleneck made me feel a little Coldwater Creek-ish. Hm. Suggestions for improvement welcome!</p> <p>1-3.
