Love the black booties, elegant and quirky in a good way. Congrats on veteran status, you are a great addition here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriends-and-vintage-beatles#post-1039394 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 18:16:17 +0000 Anonymous 1039394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new shoes look good but more oxford than Beatles.&nbsp; I really like the burgundy on you and the top in #5 is FAB.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriends-and-vintage-beatles#post-1039360 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 17:26:22 +0000 rachylou 1039360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg, you are rockin' it this Fall.

Fun outfit! And the drape on the Tee in the first two pics is terrific.

Love these looks.</p> <p>The burgundy top in pics 3 and 4 is fab on you - gorgeous color for you and great fit. And that belt is very reminiscent of a Burberry pattern, don't you think? It's fab</p> <p>Love the "faux" Beatle boots - I don't mind the contrast with your skin but I have a high tolerance for major contrast.</p> <p>Great road trip outfit - have a great time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriends-and-vintage-beatles#post-1039280 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 15:44:34 +0000 Anonymous 1039280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, I saw no hair. I've just not yet fully embraced the black footwear trend.<br /> Another thought, just for fun, have you tried the hidden laces trick that Angie does?<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/08/06/how-to-snug-and-tidy-untied-laces/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2013/08/.....ied-laces/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriends-and-vintage-beatles#post-1039268 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 15:31:22 +0000 amiable 1039268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point - they're not Beatle booties, because of the laces - and I knew that, just forgot when writing it up. &nbsp;I'm mentally thinking of them as Beatle standins while I look for the perfect pair. &nbsp;</p> <p>Good point, Joy, about the contrast between my black shoe and white leg. &nbsp;It is pretty stark (and I haven't waxed my legs in forever - sorry for the hairy shot!)&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriends-and-vintage-beatles#post-1039262 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 15:21:50 +0000 Anonymous 1039262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, I love how fearless you are having fun with fashion. My eye hasn't adjusted to some looks, so take anything I say with that in mind.<br /> I love the tee and styling in 1-2 as my favorite here.<br /> 3-4 looks great. The belt is fun.<br /> Love the top in 5.<br /> I'm not sure about the Beatle shoes as they look like oxfords rather than booties. When I posted vintage flats with a snipped off pointed toe they got mixed reviews as far as looking modern, but the consensus seemed to be to try them under full length pants. I would suggest this for yours too unless worn with tights. My eye has not adjusted to the harshness of black with bare leg.<br /> Cute travel outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriends-and-vintage-beatles#post-1039259 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 15:20:20 +0000 Anonymous 1039259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your look in 6! I don't think those are Beetle booties (they didn't have laces) but they look fun!</p> <p>Love your belt in 3, and that delicious purple.</p> <p>Hope your road trip is great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-boyfriends-and-vintage-beatles#post-1039245 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 15:07:49 +0000 amiable 1039245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My boyfriend jeans are getting worn to death in this lovely fall weather!</p> <p>#1-2 cream fluid sweater with the boyfriends. &nbsp;It has a chevron back, which I think makes it more interesting.</p> <p>#3-4 Burgundy sweater with longer jeans that I think still have the boyfriend vibe. &nbsp;New plaid belt that I picked up at GoodWill. &nbsp;It's super cheap quality, but I like the pattern.</p> <p>#5, 8 Black/white criss cross top (with zippers on the shoulders). &nbsp;Also a recent GoodWill find. &nbsp;</p> <p>#6-7 Vintage black suede lace-up booties. &nbsp;Are they beatle-esque or witchy? &nbsp;They're really comfy, and I think I'll consider them a beatle placeholder unless you tell me they're awful (are they?) &nbsp;</p> <p>#8-9 WIWing today: A tire-print tee with boyfriends (again) and brown accents. &nbsp;I've been playing with warm and cool tones lately, and think that I generally like to wear cool tones but include warm and/or bright accents. &nbsp;So this is playing with that concept. &nbsp;Also, we're leaving on a little road trip in a couple of hours, and I couldn't resist wearing a "road trip" tee. &nbsp;Does the mix of warm and cool tones work here?</p> <p>Have a good weekend you all! &nbsp;I'll be offline until next week.</p> <p>Oh, and if you don't mind letting me know what works and doesn't, I'd be so grateful </p>
