I would pick the black shoes but for YOU I would pick the first pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks/page/2#post-1244295 Wed, 07 May 2014 05:57:49 +0000 Adelfa 1244295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both looks, though to me the black shoe outfit is more cohesive and restful somehow, not necessarily what you are going for! I have versions of all of these pieces--I'll have to try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks/page/2#post-1244284 Wed, 07 May 2014 05:27:31 +0000 Golden 1244284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, i prefer the black! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks/page/2#post-1244145 Wed, 07 May 2014 01:58:24 +0000 Jaime 1244145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your legs look super long to me and I love the long cobalt jacket. Don't make me pick a shoe though - you can't lose either way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks/page/2#post-1244090 Wed, 07 May 2014 01:19:37 +0000 Aida 1244090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gah! Tormented by the pants that got away. Love those ^^ I like both shoes. Perhaps the issue with the lighter pair is that your legs are shortened further than with the black pair. You just gotta roll with it :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks/page/2#post-1243969 Tue, 06 May 2014 23:29:59 +0000 Mona 1243969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the lighter coloured shoe. These window panes make every outfit look awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks/page/2#post-1243966 Tue, 06 May 2014 23:27:19 +0000 Karie 1243966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit - both versions! I can't decide which shoe I like better, I think they both look fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243940 Tue, 06 May 2014 23:05:55 +0000 Carla 1243940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun outfit that can be changed up so easily just by switching up shoes! Don't you have a pair of black cage sandals? They might up the edginess factor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243916 Tue, 06 May 2014 22:41:37 +0000 Gigi 1243916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neat outfit!</p> <p>I prefer the black shoes myself. In the first outfit, my eyes keep jumping from the shoes to the pants and back to the shoes and... So I get stuck, since there appear to be two focal points. In the second outfit, the pants are the main focal point, and that's easier for my brain to process. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243868 Tue, 06 May 2014 21:48:13 +0000 Ornella 1243868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I so love these pants on you (I cannot believe I'm saying that about&nbsp;cropped length!) that today, when I spotted something similar in H&amp;M I actually tried them on. Cropped of all things.&nbsp;I had visions of thread titles "Inspired by MaryK and Vicki", alas I'm too big girl for the sizes available... *sob*... but I can always love them on you, right, right?</p> <p>FWIW, I prefer the pointy black shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243864 Tue, 06 May 2014 21:41:03 +0000 MsMary 1243864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, Angie!&nbsp; It goes to show I need to check out those Top Picks more closely!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243863 Tue, 06 May 2014 21:40:58 +0000 deb 1243863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of your best outfits, ever!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243861 Tue, 06 May 2014 21:39:24 +0000 Angie 1243861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And they were one of my top picks. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243857 Tue, 06 May 2014 21:30:51 +0000 MsMary 1243857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting to see the divergence of opinion on the shoes!&nbsp; Just goes to show how subjective this whole thing is!</p> <p>And it's funny but I don't think I would ever have picked out these pants for myself -- but Rae had them at last year's Shoptoberfest and was going to return them if nobody wanted to take them off her hands.&nbsp; I tried them on and it was love at first sight!&nbsp; They've been wardrobe workhorses ever since, and I think of my buddy Rae every time I wear them, which makes 'em even more special!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243823 Tue, 06 May 2014 20:56:56 +0000 Anonymous 1243823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at all the wonderful outfits Fabbers are making with those BR window paned ankle pants, I feel deprived (my own fault for not jumping to get them). &nbsp;I like both choices of shoes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243772 Tue, 06 May 2014 20:01:43 +0000 Debra 1243772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great outfit I would probably go black shoes but I like the lighter ones on you. Either look fab to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243761 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:49:49 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1243761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You &nbsp;have a good eye and solved the issue perfectly!!!! &nbsp; Love this with the black pumps!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243749 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:32:57 +0000 Jules 1243749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit with the black shoes - but I love the combo of the light shoes and pants (pattern echo as harmonica says) - I just think I would like it better with a different top half (not black and cobalt but maybe taupe or cream or???). Consider it a challenge of a reverse sort to incorporate less colour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243731 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:14:32 +0000 harmonica 1243731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the light shoes first and loved how they almost echo the checks. Gorgeous and fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243730 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:13:25 +0000 Zibbets 1243730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it with the black shoes!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243725 Tue, 06 May 2014 19:04:00 +0000 carter 1243725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great with both shoes. So wish I had bought those pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243707 Tue, 06 May 2014 18:48:27 +0000 Kiwichik 1243707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually Iiked the fancy shoes better the - I thought the criss cross of the shoes echoed the check of the pants. The black shoes look more business like. What Great outfit it's a real knockout - love that cobalt jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243652 Tue, 06 May 2014 17:53:50 +0000 kkards 1243652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>imo, the black shoes read business casual, the light shoes read, having fun with fashion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243622 Tue, 06 May 2014 17:24:20 +0000 Niki Lea 1243622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, that second outfit is to die for. LOVE that blue jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243618 Tue, 06 May 2014 17:22:05 +0000 Thistle 1243618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the black better. I agree that the checks were fighting the shoes. I really like it as it is with the black shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243615 Tue, 06 May 2014 17:19:42 +0000 Beth Ann 1243615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The proportions are different -- with shorter pants and longer jacket.&nbsp; I don't think that's bad, and I expect we'll be seeing more silhouettes like this in future.&nbsp; It's just new to my eyes.&nbsp; I like it with heels, but with flats, I think a shorter jacket would work better -- although with your legs, anything works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243540 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:49:26 +0000 Parsley 1243540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous outfit!<br />I do prefer the black shoes, but then, I'm on Team Plain rather than ALGO.<br />With the black shoes you look so sleek and sophisticated! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243528 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:36:12 +0000 MsMaven 1243528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I like the lighter shoes too. &nbsp;I think the outfit with the lighter shoes would look fantastic without the jacket. &nbsp;Overall I think it is a great outfit. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-56-cobalt-and-checks#post-1243526 Tue, 06 May 2014 15:29:39 +0000 Neel 1243526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the lighter shoes too.
