You are kidding about throwing this on in a hurry right? .... I would have spent the entire night thinking for this one. Lol! And therein lies the essence of having the right pieces in the wardrobe :). Brilliant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-stripes-with-coral-bookending#post-1272700 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 13:04:32 +0000 leopardluxe 1272700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>TraceyLiz65,</b> thanks! It's funny because I'm guessing you all think I must spend an exorbitant amount of time surfing ebay for bargains. I really don't. I just have cultivated a number of tricks over the years of selling and buying on ebay that maximizes my time. &nbsp;Often in the form of automated searches that ebay does for me. So essentially it lets me know when something I'm interested in becomes available, meets very specific criteria I've set,&nbsp;and then I take a look :-)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Deborah,</b> I'll admit (with a hint of embarrassment) that I stopped counting how many leather jackets I own years ago (also stopped counting shoes). If I had to guess I'd say I own at least 60 (I've been collecting them for more than 25 years and often wear them in place&nbsp;of sweaters or other toppers. So I own far more of these than I do sweaters or blazers or any other layering piece). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-stripes-with-coral-bookending#post-1272169 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 14:44:45 +0000 MsLuna 1272169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! High contrast all the way! That coral is a beautiful pop of colour combined with the high contrast black and white neutrals! Love those boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-stripes-with-coral-bookending#post-1272165 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 14:42:47 +0000 JAileen 1272165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful color on you! I guess there's no question the jacket is coral. I have a similar necklace I bought at an antique store. I should start wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-stripes-with-coral-bookending#post-1272000 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 06:09:55 +0000 Deborah 1272000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit.&nbsp; I love the way your do "matchy matchy" but in a rather unconventional manner.&nbsp; Now LL would it be rude to ask just how many leather jackets you have:)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-stripes-with-coral-bookending#post-1271835 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 01:32:10 +0000 Suz 1271835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this is one of my favourites on you yet! It's so cohesive and sharp. Absolutely stunning jacket with your hair, and you look sensational in the jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-stripes-with-coral-bookending#post-1271735 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 00:05:39 +0000 catgirl 1271735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Shevia said. Once again, I want to see the whole leather jacket collection in rainbow order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-stripes-with-coral-bookending#post-1271628 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 21:59:03 +0000 Aida 1271628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LL, I would also consider this more subtle (and would if I were wearing it as well). For me it's not so much a color thing, but the design details. Very clean and classic. They just happen to be in bright cheerful colors ;)</p> <p>Fabulous outfit utilizing strong colors that work soooo well for you. The leo is quite fun with the coral and white, and the black trim picks up just enough of the black in the&nbsp;shirt. LOVE the jacket, it is brilliant. And as always, I really enjoy seeing you wear your antique jewelry!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-stripes-with-coral-bookending#post-1271280 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 15:48:27 +0000 Ornella 1271280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another great outfit. You really put fun into having fun with fashion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-stripes-with-coral-bookending#post-1271158 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 13:51:57 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1271158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coral jacket is to die for and wouldn't at all allow for the adjective, "subtle".... Isn't it great to scour Ebay for things you love at a much better price point? &nbsp;You are the queen of this! &nbsp;Love the bold black and white stripe with this..And how many different colored booties do you own? &nbsp; I am just so amazed.....It's like Ms. Mary and all her pencil skirts.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-stripes-with-coral-bookending#post-1271142 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 13:35:04 +0000 Jaime 1271142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Talk about matchy matchy with an edge! I love the black and white stripes with the white and orange. And I especially appreciate that your bag is Zara! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-white-stripes-with-coral-bookending#post-1271098 Fri, 06 Jun 2014 12:31:49 +0000 leopardluxe 1271098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This probably qualifies as a rather subtle or subdued outfit for me (which just goes to show you that "subtle" is contextually subjective, imho).</p> <p>A basic black and white casual outfit bookended by a bright dose of color.</p> <p>This was one of those outfits that didn't involve much thinking about when throwing together, which was perfect because I was running late after hitting the gym. The addition of of the leopard bag was much more of a "damn, I'm running late" hurried add-on than it was an intentional choice designed to be thoughtfully coordinated. I found I liked how it paired with the stripes and coral, though. Especially the next day when looking at the photos.</p> <p>Interestingly enough, this outfit is also largely composed of extreme bargains obtained over time. While I haven't analyzed what the full retail cost to put this outfit together would be&nbsp;exactly (based on what regular retail price of each item would be) I think it falls around the $2500 range (the Iro leather&nbsp;jacket actually retails for around $1400 and the AG stilt jeans for around $175 alone. My cost all in was around $300 for the entire outfit head to toe&nbsp;(including bag, sunglasses and jewelry) and most of that cost comes from the leather jacket.</p> <p><b>Red/Orange/Coral leather moto jacket</b>: Iro Asheville (for a&nbsp;steal via ebay)<br /><b>Black and White striped tee:</b> Stylemint (NWT for $1 at the thrift store. Woot!)<br /><b>White jeans</b>: AG Stilt cigarette leg (I still need to have them shortened but they cost a whopping $13 NWT via ebay and met my criteria for white clothing --it must be inexpensive because its life is short -- because I always end up spilling something on it!)<br /><b>Red/orange/Coral suede ankle boots</b>: Dolce Vita (via ebay)<br /><b>Leather and calf hair leopard bag</b>: Zara (via ebay)<br /><b>Branch coral necklace</b>: antique c.1910 edwardian&nbsp;era (part of an estate buyout years ago)<br /><b>Carnelian, gold and silver spinner ring</b>: gift from BF<br /><b>Kinetic silver circles earrings</b>: via a little shop in SF years ago<br /><b>Sunnies</b>: cheapie no name brand (via Wasteland for $3) </p>
