I do gravitate toward the preppy outfit more. It's the colors I like better. Black and red not my favorite color combo. Both are perfectly acceptable outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-7-michael-jackson-and-preppy-orphan-annie#post-926930 Tue, 07 May 2013 18:30:20 +0000 Anonymous 926930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ No Michael Jackson vibe for me, I like it. 2 has a nice relaxed look too. I love all your accessories with both looks. YLF! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-7-michael-jackson-and-preppy-orphan-annie#post-926928 Tue, 07 May 2013 18:26:41 +0000 Sara L. 926928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't see thriller when I look at #1 - I like the patterned top with the red jeans.&nbsp; I really #2 with the cami peeking through on top.&nbsp; It makes the outfit a little less formal, especially combined with the fun necklace and flats. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-7-michael-jackson-and-preppy-orphan-annie#post-926886 Tue, 07 May 2013 17:22:42 +0000 goldenpig 926886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 1. Was not 100% happy with this outfit--I threw in on as I was rushing out the door to work. I kept thinking I looked like Michael Jackson in Thriller! Suggestions? (Besides putting on a single leather glove)?<br />Tahari black leather jacket<br />Ann Taylor black and white floral top<br />Gap red trousers<br />Black Rieker booties<br />MK black studded satchel<br /><br />2-6. I couldn't wait to get started on Karie's Orphans to Outfits challenge, as I was inspired by <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-psa-the-shirthttp://" rel="nofollow">Sona's button-down shirts post</a> to pull out this ancient orphan. It's from (don't laugh) Casual Corner, so it's got to be at least 15 years old. It's a size 6, but it was boxy and I like fitted silhouettes so last year I bought a similar <a href="http://goldenpig.lookfab.com/post/wiw-622-br-blue-stripe-button-down-orange-skinnies-leopard-flats" rel="nofollow">blue and white striped button down shirt</a> from Banana Republic (size 8 but it's super slim). But now the BR shirt is too tight because of my increased bust size, so I pulled this one off the donate pile and lo and behold it's just right! I thought I don't look good in pastels, but I like the light blue shirt and white pants combo--feels very spring-like to me. And I rescued another orphan--a necklace from BR that I rarely wear, but the light blue matches the shirt perfectly. I threw on some leopard flats because it felt more me with some pattern in the outfit (although I guess you could count the stripes in the shirt and croc texture in the bag), and plus that seems like a very preppy thing to do (I see I wore the blue striped shirt with the leopard flats last year too!). I feel like I should go hang out at J Crew today! Even though this is not my typical style, I'm very happy with this outfit! I think I'm going to have fun with Karie's challenge--I think it will help me with keep or purge with my orphans!<br /> Casual Corner blue striped button down shirt<br />Gap white tank<br />Kut from the Kloth Diana white skinnies<br />Stuart Weitzmann leopard flats<br />Kate Spade grey croc tote<br />Banana Republic light and dark blue necklace
