The Vince Camuto tote is a perfect choice for this outfit. Fab all around! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-218-a-pinterest-inspired-by#post-1170363 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 16:49:57 +0000 MsMaven 1170363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Once again, I like your version much better than the one on the model. I had to look at the large version of the photo to see the belt--perfecto. &nbsp;And that great tote ties everything together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-218-a-pinterest-inspired-by#post-1170343 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 16:40:24 +0000 Catnip 1170343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it!&nbsp; You look great, as always! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-218-a-pinterest-inspired-by#post-1170341 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 16:38:56 +0000 MsMary 1170341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Calling this a copycat would be overstating things, I think, but I was definitely inspired by the windowpane pants and the color combination of this fab Philip LIm look from Fashion week.&nbsp; Note that I am wearing a much-lower-than-usual heel and I actually really like the look with the cropped pants!</p> <p>Windowpane cropped pants:&nbsp; Banana Republic<br />Long sleeved tee:&nbsp; Merona<br />Tan corduroy blazer:&nbsp; Amber Sun<br />Black pumps:&nbsp; Merona<br />Colorblock tote:&nbsp; Vince Camuto<br />Studded belt:&nbsp; Streets Ahead</p> <p>You can't see it very well in the photo, but the tee is black-and-gray striped, so that's my homage to the pattern-on-pattern in the original look.</p> <p>You like?&nbsp; Any suggestions for improvement?&nbsp; (BTW, Angie -- every time I put on these pants, I say to myself, "If you're going to show your ankles, SHOW your ankles!"&nbsp; ) </p>
