A third option to ponder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1514725 Fri, 03 Jul 2015 21:32:22 +0000 Anonymous 1514725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking something like a diagonal sleeve, Brooklyn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1514353 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 23:02:41 +0000 Brooklyn 1514353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Shedev and Aida. Hmmm, will have to think some more about those sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1514262 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 20:42:38 +0000 Aida 1514262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quite like it with the gray skinnies; gives a little additional color depth and lightens the look up a nice amount. Also really like the sleeves on the tunic, they look like a purposeful shape and length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1514070 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 13:04:12 +0000 shedev 1514070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the grey skinnies. Hound was just high fiving your outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1514036 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 11:36:06 +0000 Brooklyn 1514036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diane for sharing your expertise! I was wondering what instructions I would give. The tunic does have binding around the neckline so this approach seems like a good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1514001 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 08:28:49 +0000 Anonymous 1514001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the animal print top over black and the addition of the jacket works beautifully. </p> <p>Re- sleeves. I think the tunic would look great sleeveless as I do find them to look a little heavy. It may be possible for a your dressmaker/tailor to trim the sleeve off leaving about an inch of sleeve all around the armhole and it might be possible to then use that bit of fabric as a binding for the armhole by folding it to the inside and stitching it down.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1513994 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 07:22:32 +0000 Brooklyn 1513994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deborah, Caro and Maneera! This is very interesting - I should have done a yay or nay on the "keep the sleeves" issue.</p> <p>Caro, no worries about the wrap top. I did not get one&nbsp;either. Not the colours I want (autumnal). I&nbsp;am still keeping an&nbsp;eye out though!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1513985 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 06:37:15 +0000 Maneera 1513985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rock that look!! I think the black long sleeved top was a better pick over white...smart move. Love the jeans tucked into boots - you look fab! </p> <p>And I think the 2nd pic with the jacket elevates the look further, making it very polished. I would keep the sleeves and repeat this outfit many times. Love the fur baby you have for an added accessory! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1513982 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 06:08:18 +0000 Caro in Oz 1513982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it with the jacket (&amp; the fur baby). I would keep the sleeves &amp; wear it with the jacket :)</p> <p>I had a look at those wrap tops too, thanks for letting me know about them. I didn't buy one as they were too similar in colour to the one I have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1513959 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 03:54:06 +0000 Deborah 1513959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, this looks so good. &nbsp;I have a thing about layering long sleeves under shorter sleeves BUT, the black under the tunic actually work really well and I find the look here very attractive. &nbsp;A good dressmaker, I have one, should have no trouble removing the sleeves but I am conflicted because it a very cool tunic as is. &nbsp;I would definitely repeat this outfit. &nbsp;Maybe give it some time and see how you feel re the layering under before you make a final decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1513955 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 03:40:33 +0000 Brooklyn 1513955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Murpheleven. Made my day! And thanks Shevia and Kiwigal! I do think the pup could make any outfit look good!</p> <p>Thanks Smittie! And thanks for weighing in on the sleeves issue. I was thinking of chopping the sleeves right off at the shoulder seam. What do you reckon? Having very limited sewing skills, I am not sure whether this is hard or easy for a dressmaker. I would rather have the top as is (less than perfect) than botched up completely. If you know what I mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1513946 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 03:23:31 +0000 Anonymous 1513946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great look!</p> <p>I agree that the animal print looks better with a black top rather than white.</p> <p>I'm really not sure whether grey or black skinnies are the best for photo 1 (without jacket). I like grey skinnies with black boots though. I also prefer the grey skinnies with the jacket you have.</p> <p>Yah, get the sleeves cropped on the tunic! Were you thinking chop at the shoulder seam or leave a little?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1513942 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 03:09:10 +0000 Sal 1513942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, and I think your instincts were correct here to wear the black layer. &nbsp;I happen to love black and animal print together so I am not objective I should warn you :)</p> <p>The jacket adds to the look too, I love it with the tunic (and your dog). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1513923 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 02:33:19 +0000 Jaime 1513923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great - I especially like it with the addition of that fantastic jacket and dog! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1513901 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 02:05:52 +0000 Murph11 1513901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This works... You rock that look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-animal-print-again#post-1513896 Thu, 02 Jul 2015 01:37:09 +0000 Brooklyn 1513896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I am partial to animal print. I decided the other day to wear my leopard print tunic out to do some shopping. It is winter here, and although the tunic is wool, I like to layer under it (I don't like wool against my skin).</p> <p>Sooo, I started off trying out Angie's grey- white-animal print formula again. Initially I went with grey jeans and grey boots, white long sleeve top and animal print tunic. However, I found I did not like the high contrast between the sleeves of the white top and the tunic (I am actually thinking about having the sleeves removed from the tunic, because I am not wild about them). So I switched to a black long sleeve top. Then I switched to black boots.</p> <p>So it ended up being grey-black-animal print. Does this work, or should I have ditched the grey and switched to black pants or skinnies? It was a day time outing so I thought the grey muted the animal print in a good way.</p> <p>Pic 1: Grey Pepe jeans (ASOS), Lafayette 148 tunic (75% off from Gilt!), Vila long sleeve black cotton/modal top (ASOS), Frye boots, Kenneth Jay Lane necklace.</p> <p>Pic 2: Same with tan Jigsaw wool jacket and attention seeking hound. Paws off my Fryes, hound! </p>
