I like the white sleeves peeking out. You could even wear it over a collared white shirt so both collar and sleeves peek out for more dramatic effect. I have similar burgundy boots so I love your boots too! Maybe a leather moto or statement jacket over the sweater?</p> <p>And for the cream jacket, it looks great, maybe you could leave it open over a striped T shirt like the one below to give it more interest if you're bored with the way it is. I love formulas, and sandwich dressing is a yay from me, and as unfrumped says, I love matchy matchy so I'd have not only the matching bread, but I'd pile on more ingredients to make a whole matching sub! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2403370 Thu, 15 Jan 2026 23:39:59 +0000 Lisa 2403370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sandwich dressing is a great FFBO outfit formula and you were both the burgundy and cream options so well. I can't even pick a favorite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2403185 Wed, 14 Jan 2026 11:31:23 +0000 Brooklyn 2403185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great. I love no 1. I love a formula for dressing - it makes life so much easier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402863 Sat, 10 Jan 2026 04:47:29 +0000 Jenni NZ 2402863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t like uniform outfit formulas myself particularly, I get bored. But I do tend to wear a mock-neck under my interesting patterned knitwear (much of it from the 80s and 90s) with pants a lot of days in our winter, so it probably is one! And I match my boots to some colour in the knitwear, so it could be called a sandwich. Mine is just never with jeans. I’m a bit surprised your jeans are warm enough. Maybe you have something warmer underneath or good heating. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402857 Sat, 10 Jan 2026 01:55:01 +0000 Carla 2402857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would do #1 for a week in a row, ‘cause the boots are so swish and the silouhette makes my Classic heart beat faster. &nbsp;#2 looks like a modern London or New York street style pic. &nbsp;Carry on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402851 Sat, 10 Jan 2026 00:20:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2402851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both outfits are super fab and do not look tired at all to me. The formula works, especially with your interesting, well-chosen pieces. I especially like that zip cardi, and it's a good complement to the combat style boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402848 Fri, 09 Jan 2026 23:44:42 +0000 Carol 2402848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it--sandwich formula is something I will have to remember, as I am starting the year with trying to remember easy, easy ideas.&nbsp;</p> <p>To make things more interesting, as you said, you could add a statement jacket--like a roomy leather or suede. Without the jacket, you could change the under layers for an interesting color, like a brown in #1, or a red in #2. Also, if you are not quite sure about #2, you could switch jeans for a long skirt. I bet a long skirt would look great with those shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402847 Fri, 09 Jan 2026 23:34:07 +0000 Helena 2402847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both of these! I guess the length of the jeans in 1 is more current but a cropped pant is sooo practical in winter and a style I really love, and you wear it well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402749 Fri, 09 Jan 2026 12:09:41 +0000 kkards 2402749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re the tee peaking out on the sirs…it’s started as a way to protect my sweaters from hand washing, but it as definitely evolved into something else. &nbsp;It’s a subtle way to lighten a dark outfit and show some “skin’ in the winter. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402732 Fri, 09 Jan 2026 01:54:41 +0000 Kate 2402732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both, but the white seems especially fresh this time of year. Your shoe and boot collection is stellar! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402727 Fri, 09 Jan 2026 01:45:37 +0000 Jaime 2402727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I do love #1 slightly more but these are both great and so nice to see you posting kkards! I often dress from the shoes up depending on my schedule for the day but am more of a comfort/mood dresser than a formula dresser.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402712 Fri, 09 Jan 2026 00:17:04 +0000 Dana 2402712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute outfits! I especially like #1. Your boots look dark brown/burgundy in the pic...but they don't show up on the site. Burgundy boots--the right shade are hard to find!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm your boot twin, too! Mine have a big scratch on the toe and are in a pile to go to shoe repair. That outfit would be super cute with ecru jeans too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402697 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 21:17:32 +0000 Dee 2402697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a jeans gal myself, I totally love this formula. What a great way to pull together a fab cohesive look.<br /> Both oufits look terrific IMO. And the those shiny boots are da bomb. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402680 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 19:45:47 +0000 Laurie 2402680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super, both of them! I love that cream sweater with the double zipper pull. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402677 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 19:22:16 +0000 Angie 2402677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great,<b> kkards</b>! Waving at my cream boot twin! BEST weatherproof casual boots of all time. Tried to duplicate - nada!</p> <p>You sandwich with the best of them :)</p> <p>Personally, I prefer #2 to #1 because I prefer cream to Burgundy. 100% biased! And while I don't wear cropped flares these days - (simply prefer other silhouettes) - you wear them soooooo well!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402668 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 18:20:13 +0000 Roberta 2402668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, this is how I dress every day in the winter. Today is an ivory cable sweater with dark brown cords. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, I say.</p> <p>I think both outfits are great, and #1 is the Platonic idea of a sweater, jeans, and interesting shoes. The touch of white at the cuff makes it an outfit.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402663 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:55:51 +0000 Suz 2402663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love them both and would copy them in a heartbeat! You look fab.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402662 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:53:38 +0000 unfrumped 2402662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both. </p> <p>I like to “sandwich” also even though that means not always bookending hair color or keeping a long leg line.</p> <p> I occasionally come across discussions of “ don’t do this or that “ and most are very anti- matchy. I do like to remember to try new combinations, and sometimes very intentionally un- matching, especially if adds a special way to add texture or special interest, is great, and good SYC/outfit creation<br /> But I am pretty determined not to force “ unmatching” to conform to the Debbie Downer fashionistas. </p> <p>I know Angie is a big matcher ( as well as clasher !), and now Goldenpig has re-joined the fray , so I look forward to seeing more matchy- matchy. </p> <p>It also is pretty unavoidable for me since I have some go- to colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402660 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:25:32 +0000 slim cat 2402660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are pretty good - fabulous boots in your collection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402638 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 13:50:13 +0000 LJP 2402638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too like them both. &nbsp; I do find though that I'm not wearing cropped flare jeans right now - and I used to wear them all the time. &nbsp;The look doesn't feel as current as it once did but it's pretty perfect for showing off a boot so who knows.......</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402633 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 13:40:18 +0000 Irina 2402633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both! Your burgundy boots are awesome!<br />I wear my almost a daily “uniform” of sweatpants with cashmere turtleneck in the winter. Why bother? My fashion senses freeze in the winter.&nbsp;<div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402632 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 13:39:52 +0000 kellygirl 2402632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're both fab! I think overall silhouette of 1 is just more sleek. I really like the white sweater with the white boots. Perfect jean choice for wet weather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402631 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 13:17:50 +0000 RobinF 2402631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great! I especially enjoy the white because I love that sweater with the zip. Nice new boots, very sleek.</p> <p>I also have been trying to let a bit of tee peek out from a sweater. I don't generally wear long sleeve tees under sweaters so for me it has been a peek at the hem or neck. It just seems to add a little bit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402625 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 12:36:47 +0000 Janet 2402625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I love both but have special affinity for the first outfit, which I would wear in a heartbeat. I’m not much of a white boot person myself, since I generally prefer to keep the lower half of my dressing low-contrast. But I know Angie will love the second one even more. :-D</p> <p>I really like the small detail of the white tee popping out — I’ve been trying to do that lately with a white tee under my crew neck sweaters. But the neckline is often not close enough to show — I think I need a crew neck tee with a tighter neckline for this kind of layering. The sleeve is a great alternative! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402621 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 11:54:57 +0000 Star (Lise) 2402621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both fab imo. Love those burgundy boots! The white sleeves peeking out is a nice touch for added interest. I gather that is on purpose? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-2-sandwiches#post-2402619 Thu, 08 Jan 2026 11:44:16 +0000 kkards 2402619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sandwich dressing has become my FFB outfit Formula.  For me, it’s an easy way to pull something together that’s giving “I thought about this’ vibes instead of “hey, it’s just my uniform” of jeans and sweater.  </p> <p><div><br /> </div><div>1st outfit was inspired by the team burgundy vs team brown post.  This sweater is one of my oldest, not even sure how long I’ve had it, but it’s a favorite for its color, and the cashmere is just about the best I’ve never felt. The belt is great for the color and personality.  The boots are new and are soooo me, patent leather and burgundy, yes please. </div><div><br /> </div><div>2nd outfit,dressed from the boots up.  It was raining this morning, so started with water resistant boots, then matched this, again really old, cream sweater.  This is one that I like because I think the pockets and double zip give it athleisure vibes, but dressier. And then cropped jeans to allow the boots their moment.  </div><div><br /> </div><div>I’’m super happy with #1, feel #2 is serviceable, but overall look is starting to look tired.  </div><div>What do you think?  Are you also relying on one outfit formulas to just make getting dressed easier ?</p> <p>thanks for looking.  As always, all comments welcomed and appreciated </p> <p></div> </p>
