I love your slides. lyn67 on "WIW : 17/4 - An OTT mismatch (yay or nay?)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-120#post-2358295 Thu, 18 Apr 2024 08:53:43 +0000 lyn67 2358295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looks great and enough of intentional to me! Enjoy! BTW you also have a great hair color to match/blend in the scheme here!:-) Star (Lise) on "WIW : 17/4 - An OTT mismatch (yay or nay?)" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-120#post-2358292 Thu, 18 Apr 2024 06:08:19 +0000 Star (Lise) 2358292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Everyone!  I am a little surprised by how quite a few of you like this combination.  It is something I would of worn in my 20's without a thought.  I was very into crazy patterns and colours.  Interestingly when my hair went silver I was more drawn to neutral and plain items and as soon as I 'coppered' my hair I am leaning back in to the old me (who was brunette, not copper).  Even pulled out a large pair of wooden earring hoops when I was wearing my contact lenses for a night out recently.  I still find large earrings a bit too much with my specs though.  Hair colour seems to affect my clothing choices, and not just colour of clothing.  Hhhm, maybe a new thread. :) Angie Thanks!  This style of pants is my friend and hence I am not really into wide leg jeans on myself. Jaime and Bijou I only noticed that the tiger matches my hair after I took the photo.  Interesting how photos spot light details that your mirror does not!  Very interesting as a new selfie taker.  Jaime I did actually wear camel/blush knit sneakers on my walk.  The sandals pictured are for home use only. ChristelJ :).  My former brave dressing self is returning. KellyGirl Cool is always favourable :) If I were to really make this into an outfit, for say a night out, I would add a jacket, probably a moto jacket and some boots, jewelry and lipstick! Thanks for indulging me.  You guys are the best!

The brown in the pants (great on you) go with the brown in the t. It is chaotic in a good way. Maybe I would wear brown shoes instead - or maybe I wouldn't .

Pictures have been hard after DH retired and is home.  (This belongs on another thread.). Your pants look especially good on you.

The black base of the top grounds the outfit and the colours of the tiger work well with the print and colour of the pants. Haha love those empowering logos tees.

PS:  Fun fact - My T says 'Be Brave'.  On my walk I encountered another woman wearing a T that said 'Be Fearless'.  :)
