Isn't it the greatest, most all-around flattering sweater? It pairs so well with your sleek skirt and booties. The berry colors sing on you. Nice job.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047885 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 03:29:32 +0000 Adelfa 1047885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely terrific and I wouldn't change a thing.

Sheer black? Charcoal gray? I see nothing wrong with the color blocking or the proportions -- especially if the boots are comfy! I love seeing your waist and the fit is great on the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047840 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 02:20:49 +0000 Deborah 1047840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, this is a lovely outfit!&nbsp; You look beautifully put together and those colours are fabulous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047837 Wed, 09 Oct 2013 02:14:17 +0000 Beth Ann 1047837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to debut my Munros today, but decided it was too warm at 75 degrees.&nbsp; Sigh.&nbsp; Seeing you look makes me anxious to take them out of the closet!&nbsp; You look great in this.</p> <p>Love the sweater on you -- so vibrant, but rich.&nbsp; I like the black opaques and think the booties are sufficiently low contrast to keep the line long.</p> <p>I'd suggest trying it again, and see if you like it better upon another wearing.&nbsp; Sometimes I feel unsure of something just because it's different.&nbsp; We like it!</p> <p>You might try it with nude fishnets, too.&nbsp; It would lighten the look, but it would be more contrast.&nbsp; Worth a shot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047690 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 22:09:05 +0000 Caro in Oz 1047690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this as is too &amp; agree with everything K said </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047673 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 21:31:01 +0000 unfrumped 1047673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very good look!&nbsp;Those booties are a great way to add some zing while still being a very rich, warm look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047670 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 21:27:00 +0000 Eliza 1047670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you look great! Those booties are super with a skirt. </p> <p>Full disclosure: today I wore the same sweater and booties, with Kut black ponte knit pants. I love these colors!

In fact, when I opened the photo,&nbsp;I was going to remark that you are looking extremely svelte and fit. I think the weightlifting and walking are doing great things. I also find that the vertical lines in this sweater along with a straight skirt and toned hose have a very lengthening effect -- at least that is what I felt when I wore the same combination myself. I hope I wasn't deluded. ;-)&nbsp;And also, I happen to know that you had the YLF undergarment makeover of the century!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047633 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 19:55:42 +0000 Debra 1047633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Thistle, I really like this look too. Those little boots are cute as and I love how you have 'book ended' them with the jumper.<br /> Look at all of new things I am learning from you lovely ladies:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047514 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 16:34:16 +0000 kkards 1047514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love, this is really fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047507 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 16:27:25 +0000 Anonymous 1047507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look good, the bootie works fine with the skirt.&nbsp; This would look really great with a light tight, maybe a fishnet, or a lighter patterned tight.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047442 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 15:21:06 +0000 Wendi1984 1047442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a successful outfit on you! The booties are so pretty, and I am jealous as I've got my eye on a pair of burgundy booties, too. (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.zappos.com/dv-by-dolce-vita-sylo-bordeaux">http://www.zappos.com/dv-by-do.....o-bordeaux</a>) I think the color works with so many things, and I'm trying to break myself of the "all shoes should be neutral colors" habit. :-)</p> <p>I also love your colorblock sweater, another style I've been hoping to try this winter. Great look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047437 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 15:17:13 +0000 K. Period. 1047437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, I think you look phenomenal! You&nbsp;have come so far from where you started (which was cute, but not near as fab as this). Maybe you are just feeling a little blah because you know things are in transition right now? It makes a person feel restless. &nbsp;You look absolutely fantastic in this, and very fashion forward and bold, as Angie commented. &nbsp;If you want another tights option or two, I love patterned tights, something with a pattern that subtly replicates the stripes in your sweater, for example, as an option or medium grey with something like this. &nbsp;You look gorgeous!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047433 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 15:12:08 +0000 annaj 1047433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a great outfit!

I cannot even imagine having a waist like yours...I know the grass is always greener. </p> <p>Sona I have to disagree with the shapewear - this is awesome as is!</p> <p>I love booties with skirts so I am probably biased, but I really think this outfit is wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047417 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 15:02:10 +0000 Neha 1047417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, the shoes are so cute! However, I do think lighter hose would have looked better... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047408 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 14:58:44 +0000 Sona 1047408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle: please do not take this the wrong way but do you have great shape wear ? if not I would highly suggest you try some, possibly with a lingerie specialist.</p> <p>The colors play very well together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047407 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 14:58:13 +0000 Suz 1047407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What are you smoking, lady?&nbsp;</p> <p>Okay, admittedly, I have a soft spot for this look since I am your bootie and sweater twin. And I have even tried out a version of my own.&nbsp;</p> <p>I say you look fabulous. With opaque or with sheer hose. Perfect outfit!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047364 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 14:21:38 +0000 Angie 1047364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific, Thistle. Great job.&nbsp;And your cute little smile is just divine.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the ensemble with the opaques. Intentional.&nbsp;It looks like you're wearing a skirt over pants which was fringe trending on the runaways for Fall and Spring.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like Ceit's suggestion of sheer black hose too. That will make the outfit more ladylike - which you will pull off just as well. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-107---wine-suede#post-1047357 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 14:12:22 +0000 Anonymous 1047357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like everything except I would like to see lighter hose or tights with this!

Of course, not posting means not getting any guidance on making things better, so&nbsp;I am going to try to be ebtter about posting.</p> <p>I debuted my wine suede Munro booties from the NAS sale today. The heel is 0.5 of an inch more than I normally like, but these are soooo comfy it doesn't matter. I paired them with my color blocked Halogen sweater to bookend the booties, my AT pencil skirt and a bracelet I bought ages ago to add a little sparkle.</p> <p>Not sure about the whole skirt and booties thing and if they work for me or in this outfit. </p>
