I've always thought that myself, and my friends thought I was crazy, so it's nice to know I have company in my bellybutton loving shirt paranoia! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791765 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:44:56 +0000 CocoLion 791765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this Diana. I love brown actually, it's good to see someone embrace this color. Everything works, and these proportions show off your long legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791763 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:40:36 +0000 Ornella 791763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the untied cardigan (ALGO ) and I have no idea why you don't wear brown more. Brown + denim = winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791710 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 20:37:37 +0000 Inge 791710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look more than just "OK" in brown, Diana, this shade is very flattering on you, and I too love the combination with the teal. A super outfit (I was nodding at the suggestion to perhaps leave the cardi untied). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791593 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 16:23:28 +0000 Suz 791593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Diana. And you know...brown and teal are such good friends....</p> <p>Seriously, this is a warm and gorgeous weekend look to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791589 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 16:21:21 +0000 Sara L. 791589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the brown on you and the boots are great. I find I have a difficult time styling brown too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791574 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 15:47:39 +0000 Diana 791574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies. I'm not actually sure why I have issues with styling brown, as objectively I know it's an OK color for me. Cognac, I have no problem with. Interestingly, I have no trouble styling my taupe boots, even though it is a much worse color for me and I don't own anything else in taupe. But I really love these boots so I will keep trying! </p> <p>Rae, good idea to use the belt to tie the brown in with the rest of the outfit.</p> <p>Sarah, I like the scarf idea! Keeps the brown away from my face too. </p> <p>Angie, the cardi is fine untied. In fact, I added the ties myself because I wanted the option to close it for warmth. It's a very snuggly cardi (thick cashmere, yum). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791557 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 15:18:59 +0000 Tina.b 791557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can totally relate, I completely struggle with brown. You you great here, loving the boots especially! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791543 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 14:35:36 +0000 RunnerChick 791543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brown boots and jeans are one of my favorite combos - and it looks lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791532 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 14:13:51 +0000 Angie 791532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in brown! Loving you in mid-calf boots :)</p> <p>Will that cardigan hang funny if you leave it untied? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791507 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 13:30:46 +0000 sarah 791507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you can definitely wear brown - I love it with that color blue/teal. You could also wer it with that color but add a scarf with some lighter colors in it to break up the brown a bit. I think that you just need a bit less brown is all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791278 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 03:23:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 791278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can definitely wear brown Diana - and I love brown with denim. I agree that maybe the cardigan would be better untied but I don't mind it tied either. Love those boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791259 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 02:42:32 +0000 rae 791259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the earthy colors AND the spat boots! I hope you find a way to wear them more... Although I don't like brown that much near my face unless it's really warm, I found that having a belt to bookend my brown boots goes a long way. </p> <p>The PB tie is fighting a little with the cardi tie IMO, but reading that the latter came untied, it sounds like it worked itself out. And I don't think I've ever seen you bulge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791247 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 01:52:29 +0000 Diana 791247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, Anna, I think you're right about untied being better. I initially tied it because I was feeling self conscious about the top showing bulges, but I think it was probably in my head. In any case, it came untied halfway through the day and I didn't bother to retie it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791244 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 01:47:59 +0000 annagybe 791244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it might look better if you left the cardigan untied. There are lots of bows in your mid section. You can totally wear brown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-brown#post-791238 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 01:41:13 +0000 Diana 791238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I really wanted to wear my brown spat boots. I really love the style and comfort, but I don't wear them as often as I should because I find brown a difficult color to style. Anyway, I decided to just go with the brown theme instead of fighting with it, and pulled out a couple of other less-worn brown items in my wardrobe. The top is teal knit with a brown woven top portion with a pussy bow. I tried it both tucked (1) and untucked (2) and ultimately went with untucked because I felt like the material was weirdly showing my belly button when tucked (may have just been in my head though, it was not tight at all so I don't know why it was doing that). I also wore a very comfy big cashmere cardigan, which again does not get worn as much as it should because of the color. It felt refreshing to wear a cardigan after wearing 9 jackets in a row!</p> <p>Anyway, what do you think? Can brown and I get along? </p> <p>Mariel Waithe cardigan, Tulle top, Vince jeans, Matisse boots, Sydney Love boots. </p>
