I will take your 'effortless' compliment very humbly and happily!</p> <p>And to all who have commented about it feeling current, I'm tickled because not so long ago 'current' was not an adjective I would have applied to my style. It was in a real slump.

I don't think I ever would have put these two colors together -- until now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy/page/2#post-2295229 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 18:19:14 +0000 CarolS 2295229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suntiger&nbsp;</b>-- I hope you find 'your pair'!!</p> <p><b>Zaeobi&nbsp;</b>-- I actually started with a brown pair that I will now return. There was a small temptation to keep them, too, but the colour and style are actually so similar to the burgundy ones that it would basically be a duplication.<b></b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b>Lisa</b>, happy to enable in any way I can! :-)</p> <p>Thank you, <b>Robin</b>. I've loved this colour combo since the mid eighties, when I had a fabulous iridescent burgundy puffer with burnt orange lining.... I wore that thing for YEARS!</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Jules</b>!</p> <p>Always happy to humour you, <b>Angie </b>-- your advice is always good!!!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy/page/2#post-2295203 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 17:32:17 +0000 Angie 2295203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOH!

But knowing what I do about putting together this type of outfit, if I saw you at the office my head would turn and I would nod appreciatively at the hidden effort;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy/page/2#post-2295166 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 14:43:24 +0000 RobinF 2295166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love this. I wouldn't expect to like these colors together but it looks fabulous! And those pants!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy/page/2#post-2295157 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 13:55:55 +0000 LJP 2295157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you be &nbsp;my WInner's personal shopper? &nbsp;You go and send me photos and I give you my credit card &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy/page/2#post-2295156 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 13:49:41 +0000 Zaeobi 2295156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a nonchalantly chic combo of textures &amp; colours - I'm really enjoying seeing the 'edge' to your style evolve with a menswear spin! Burgundy usually ends up orphaned in my wardrobe because I can't figure out quite how to wear it (since it isn't technically brown but it isn't purple either), but will try orange! </p> <p>You've got me hankering for those burgundy pleather pants too! Still hunting for the right high-rise pair in chocolate first though... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy/page/2#post-2295147 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 13:08:18 +0000 Anonymous 2295147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know I love this color scheme. I've been looking for burgundy pleather pants for a long time, but no Winners here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy#post-2295146 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 12:59:31 +0000 Janet 2295146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m late to this, but this is SO GOOD! I love the colors, the fit, everything. Perfectly current and easy — this seems like effortless style to me, since we were discussing that term in another thread! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy#post-2295141 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 12:08:46 +0000 kkards 2295141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Came back to read the additional comments, but have to comment again how much I like this. &nbsp; I’d never have thought to pair orange and burgundy but these colors work so well together! &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy#post-2295098 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 02:26:43 +0000 CarolS 2295098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Jaime</b>!</p> <p>And yes, <b>Lisa</b> -- I guess I am predictable that way. It's the variety and the return policy. I have actually had a pair of brown faux leather pants in my closet for several weeks now. I wished they were burgundy when I bought them, but they were at least quite a red brown, and they still worked with the burgundy oxfords. Still, I couldn't quite commit. And then Saturday, I found the burgundy ones and it all came together.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy#post-2295097 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 02:04:47 +0000 CarolS 2295097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Teresa</b> -- Thank you -- it's one of my favourite colour combos!<br /><b>Helena</b> -- you are too kind!<br />Thanks, <b>Joy</b>!<br /><b>Stag</b>, now I'm curious to know what you expected!&nbsp;<br /><b>Kate</b> -- insouciant!! I love that word and thank you for applying it to me!<br /><b>Dee</b> -- the pants almost didn't happen, so it's rather thrilling to see them getting so much love!<br /><b>Slim cat </b>-- A pendant would be a great addition. I tend not to wear necklaces to work because of the work-provided beauty you see dangling around my neck. I guess I could try clipping it in other places, but when it's around my neck I know where it is when I need it.<br /><b>Angie</b> -- Thank you! I'm in love with the pairing too. Funny, isn't it -- I get clothes that match the old glasses just in time for the new ones to arrive! I suspect I will still pull these out from time to time, though. The lining isn't terribly special, but I did try rolling them back and pulling out the sweater sleeve a bit more.<br /><b>Kkards</b> -- lol -- great minds (yours and Angie's) think alike!<br /><b>Jenni, Nikki, Donna,</b>&nbsp;Thank you!!<br /><b>Jonesy</b> -- Thank you! I'm a sucker for menswear patterns, too!<br /><b>Carla</b> -- Thank you! I'm pretty happy with this one, too. The jacket actually fits reasonably well across the back and at the waist, but I'll continue to experiment with different cuts.&nbsp;<br /><b>Indigoprint </b>-- Thank you!<br /><b>Style Fan</b> - one of my fave colour combinations too!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy#post-2295092 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 01:42:08 +0000 Jaime 2295092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome Sauce! Love the combination! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy#post-2295090 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 01:38:10 +0000 LJP 2295090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should have known ;). No time to stop in there anytime soon , sadly . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy#post-2295079 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 00:50:18 +0000 CarolS 2295079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, <b>Carla</b> -- Laundry by Shelli Segal. I got them at Winners (big surprise!). </p> <p><b>Lisa</b>, I am pretty sure I found these at the Pembina Hwy location. On clearance for $28. There were a couple of pairs there when I bought these on Saturday.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy#post-2295066 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 00:25:44 +0000 Carla 2295066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me too! &nbsp;It’s Laundry by Shelli Segal, right? But where from?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy#post-2295062 Thu, 08 Dec 2022 00:18:20 +0000 Suz 2295062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My question exactly, Lisa!! I want to know where the pants come from!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy#post-2295047 Wed, 07 Dec 2022 23:48:57 +0000 LJP 2295047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this ! And the sleeve scrunching looks good - it’s supposed to add structure and interest and it does here. </p> <p>An aside , I was going to post about an orange cashmere sweater I bought and am frozen in indecision over . Not my usual response to things . Burgundy leather pants might now be in my future . Where did you find these? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy#post-2295039 Wed, 07 Dec 2022 23:07:37 +0000 Style Fan 2295039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my favourite outfits of yours.&nbsp; I love orange and burgundy together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-1207-orange-and-burgundy#post-2295036 Wed, 07 Dec 2022 22:32:53 +0000 CarolS 2295036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everybody - sorry to post and run. I was tied up at work all day and just have to run out for a much needed massage. THEN I will come back and respond individually. </p> <p>In the meantime, the sleeve lining isn’t terribly interesting but I tried rolling it back to let more of the sweater sleeve show. It’s all pretty bulky so doesn’t lend itself very well to scrunching. Also added a shot of the jacket fabric. The dark colour in the pattern can read as burgundy, which is what drew me to this combo. </p> <p>Back later!!! </p>
