May be a different colour bag? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834445 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 08:35:23 +0000 harmonica 1834445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for helping me break it down. I had a meeting in town after lunch and changed the bag to a black/taupe satchel. In the evening I wore a red mini bag for errands. Both felt much better than the cinnamon bag.<br /><b><br />RobinF</b>, thanks! I'm sure the summer here is more like spring (or even winter in Australia) in many parts of the world. Yesterday was 14C/ 57F and rain showers. Today it's about18C/64F.<br /><b>Ryce</b>, you'd look awsome! lol<br /><b>Muffin</b>, yes, absolutely a good fall/spring outfit<br /><b>Angie</b>, thanks for dropping by. I swapped the bag and I instantly felt more pulled together.<br /><b>gryffin</b>, thanks for breaking it down! I'm sure you would look great in a similar outfit. Tweed jacket can difficult and I think that's why the jacket has been unworn in my closet for so long. But&nbsp;"young, hip, stylish look" is the best encouragement to get it into rotation. Thanks! </p> <p><b>Laura G</b>, you summed it up really well, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834247 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 17:41:05 +0000 Laura G 1834247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great look! I can only repeat the suggestions you've already heard...remove everything (patterned socks, belt, anything not black) that competes with that jacket. I didn't even notice the sleeve length, but rachylou is right...shorter is more summery.</p> <p>But still...great look.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834246 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 17:26:22 +0000 gryffin 1834246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I really like the outfit.&nbsp; The difference with #4 is she's wearing the jacket solo with, pretty much,&nbsp;a column of color.&nbsp; If you match a dark belt to you jeans or top, add a high shaft dark bootie (better for fall, I know, but I'm just addressing the look) and add a dark bag, then the jacket becomes the focus of the entire outfit.&nbsp; I actually think the socks are cute but since they compete&nbsp;with the jacket for attention,&nbsp;I would match bag and belt if you were wearing them together.&nbsp; I think the jacket is very flattering and, even though I can't see detail, it looks like it lights up your face. Very flattering and elegant.&nbsp; But this is a very ladylike look.&nbsp; It would be very "me" with the above changes.&nbsp; Is it the vibe of the jacket itself&nbsp;or the details of the outfit&nbsp;that are making your uncomfortable?&nbsp; Tweed can skew aging, but this is a young, hip, stylish look. I really like it, but you need to like it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834195 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 13:58:05 +0000 Angie 1834195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually, I adore the look, Monica. Perhaps swap out the bag?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834174 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 12:43:20 +0000 Muffin 1834174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute, but I would remove the belt and socks, untuck the top. Maybe the shoes are too heavy? I could see this as a nice fall/spring transition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834172 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 12:39:17 +0000 Anonymous 1834172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha. Now I want to carry a white background around with me everywhere! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834170 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 12:34:26 +0000 rachylou 1834170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you might do, shorten the sleeves. In fall/winter you can wear a close fitting long sleeve to keep the jacket in play - provided the heat is on I suspect </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834166 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 12:16:28 +0000 RobinF 1834166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is quite nice, although not particularly summery, but my jackets are getting zero wear this summer so I have a bit of a hangup about wearing jackets in summer. I like the no-socks idea and different bag but super cute jacket and I like it with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834162 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 12:07:25 +0000 harmonica 1834162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>rachylou</b>, I didn't notice until you mentioned it. I do have short arms! Should I shorten the sleeve length? I like the shorter version.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834160 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 12:04:08 +0000 rachylou 1834160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's not feeling quite summery because the sleeves are a bit long. On the model they're 'bracelet' length. But it's cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834159 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 12:04:07 +0000 harmonica 1834159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>The Cat</b>, I interpreted your reply to mean that the jacket was the statement piece that was better without distractions. I'll try to fade down the distractions (socks and bag) by taking off the socks and changing the bag. Maybe I misinterpreted your reply? </p> <p>ETA: Aha, you mentioned <i>belt</i>, not socks. So sorry for reading your reply too hastily. :-)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834156 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 11:48:36 +0000 The Cat 1834156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you 'really get what I was saying'? I wonder, because I didn't say anything about the socks, and I actually thought they were OK. I commented the bag and the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834155 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 11:42:18 +0000 harmonica 1834155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! Great suggestions.</p> <p><b>Jenny NZ,</b> you crack me up The white wall is a fab accessory, but so hard to access in RL.;-)<br /><b>The Cat</b>,<i> </i>I get what you're saying. I've removed the socks. They may be better with my wide leg trousers and a simple top.&nbsp; <br /><b>Brooklyn</b>, I'll change the bag when I have to drop by at home before going to another appointment today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834136 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 10:30:44 +0000 Brooklyn 1834136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great. I would try it without the socks. Can you go bare? Also, a darker bag or a coloured (non-neutral) bag (eg red) might be better with the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834126 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 08:06:10 +0000 The Cat 1834126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice jacket! However, I would suggest a black (or black &amp; white) bag and ditto belt. (The brown items are stealing some attention from the jacket, which is supposed to be the hero of this outfit.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834124 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 08:00:25 +0000 Jenni NZ 1834124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, you're a non-model and not standing against a freakishly white wall? Nothing wrong with the outfit. You could try it without the socks though and see if you like it better? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-casual-tweed#post-1834123 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 07:43:41 +0000 harmonica 1834123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm testing this outfit for the first time. Off to casual day at work now. Not sure I hit the nail. </p> <p>I'm ok with the darker colours for summer, but will probably wear a crisper or brighter outfit tomorrow. I feel like today's outfit is very neutral. What do you think?</p> <p>Summer tweed jacket<br /> Navy silk tee w peter pan collar<br /> Crop jeans (thrifted)<br /> Socks with circle cut-outs (Wolford)<br /> Midnight blue oxfords<br /> Cognac belt (vintage)<br /> Caramel leather bag (vintage)</p> <p>ETA: I was trying to channel #4, but I feel like something in my outfit is a bit off. Can you help me analyze? </p>
