Love the cropped trench. This look rocks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615668 Wed, 09 May 2012 04:00:50 +0000 Amy 615668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look smashing! I love you in those cropped jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615663 Wed, 09 May 2012 03:52:16 +0000 ManidipaM 615663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Rae! You look super! </p> <p>Thanks for the permission to break out black for summer. I have such a hard time of leaving the darker jewel tones and black and dark denim behind (it's just more practical and those colours seem easier to wear) for summer, even when I'm craving colour. Loved this little show-and-tell on doing it right! (Clearly, less is more in this case.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615652 Wed, 09 May 2012 03:32:21 +0000 Jonesy 615652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That shade of red looks gorgeous on you! I think you should wear whatever colors make you happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615638 Wed, 09 May 2012 03:05:44 +0000 rae 615638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whew, busy day for me! Thanks for the boosts; they helped me pick up steam when I peeped back in to take a break. You all have also inspired me to do a post on cropped toppers - I hope it helps, though the other obvious answer would be to come visit me and hit the swap meets in LA!</p> <p>Julie, both my striped jeans are Hudson signature bootcuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615629 Wed, 09 May 2012 02:48:49 +0000 marianna 615629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks totally seasonally appropriate to me! Very fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615624 Wed, 09 May 2012 02:40:36 +0000 goldenpig 615624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in this red dress! Red is a neutral and works year round! Looks great with the black shrug and grey Frye boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615620 Wed, 09 May 2012 02:30:12 +0000 Julie 615620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, you are a total inspiration to me when it comes to putting colours together. I will definitely be doing red with my grey Julias, the minute they arrive.</p> <p>What brand name are your boot cut pinstriped jeans you wore with your Julias. Never had pinstriped jeans, and maybe I need to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615401 Tue, 08 May 2012 22:46:22 +0000 krishnidoux 615401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! The colour suits you so well, and the proportions are perfect too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615375 Tue, 08 May 2012 22:11:51 +0000 Aida 615375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute, Rae! Moody colors with skin exposed in proper fabrications seems fine for spring/summer to me! :D</p> <p>(Claire, I'm with you... WHERE oh where are we to find super cropped little toppers if one can't make it to the Huntington swap meet!?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615191 Tue, 08 May 2012 18:35:17 +0000 CocoLion 615191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the short sleeves bring the outfit reliably into warm weather territory. The cropped jacket + dress formula looks extremely flattering on you, very lengthening. If you want to de-winterize the outfit further, you could trade out the boots for sandals or shoes. Of course you already know that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615179 Tue, 08 May 2012 18:27:12 +0000 Meredith1953 615179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cropped jacket just propels it into Spring and beyond. I love black and red together and the boots...well you look great in those boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615178 Tue, 08 May 2012 18:25:04 +0000 AJ 615178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are such things as cropped trenches? FAB outfit, Rae! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615084 Tue, 08 May 2012 16:51:12 +0000 christieanne 615084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a knack for the crop jacket - and black and red are year round favorites in my mind.<br /> I could see the dress working all summer long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615064 Tue, 08 May 2012 16:17:42 +0000 morethanbeige 615064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous, Rae! This outfit is so cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615062 Tue, 08 May 2012 16:16:24 +0000 sarah 615062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615033 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:39:12 +0000 Angie 615033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red with anything floats my boat. YOU LOOK FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615030 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:38:12 +0000 kellygirl 615030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is SO you and SO gorgeous! Just enough bare leg to make it look spring-y. You look great in red. The SS cropped jacket also adds to the seasonally appropriateness--who cares that it is black. Black is a neutral, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615024 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:32:12 +0000 Sarah A 615024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this super cropped jacket over dress look... have been on the lookout for these cropped toppers to no avail! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615008 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:06:11 +0000 Transcona Shannon 615008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had to log back in to say I love this outfit! That cropped trench is so cool over this dress and of course, EVERYTHING looks fab with those boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-615006 Tue, 08 May 2012 15:02:02 +0000 Anonymous 615006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stay true to your own colors! Deborah did a fantastic job of wearing black and red all last summer. This looks so awesome with your spring boots. I have not seen these little tiny cropped jackets anywhere and you are finding them at the swap meet???!!! Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-bringing-red-black-into-spring#post-614999 Tue, 08 May 2012 14:57:24 +0000 rae 614999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't not wear wintry colors, even though it's Spring, but I picked up this cropped trench at the swap meet (before May Madness, yay!) as part of my realization that black won't be going anywhere for me this season. This won't be making the cover of any S/S catalogs, but I'm at least hoping the bare arms and legs mean it's not seasonally confused. :)</p> <p>Cropped trench - $1 via swap meet<br /> AT red dress - $0.50 via swap meet<br /> Frye Julias - 1/2 off via Dillard's (just over $200 before GCs, rewards points)<br /> Pearl bracelet set - $1 via swap meet<br /> Calf hair bag - 3 Euro via Italian flea market </p>
