Absolutely in love with the whole silhouette...so rich, elegant and classy. You've never looked better, Sharan! </p> <p>Sigh....I wish I owned this outfit...it really is a picture of perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585950 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 05:16:36 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1585950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, thanks for your comment on the checks diamond quilting. I liked that mix, too, and it's partly why I chose this jacket over a black one.</p> <p>Diane, I didn't think of the combination as texture play, but it is, isn't it?</p> <p>abc, I think the warm grays and taupes are easy for me to wear because of my hair color, which is a mix of brown and gray and "reads" taupe. If you can find a belt in a pewter or gray shade that subtly echoes your boots, you may find them easier to wear.</p> <p>Una, these pants feel newly fresh to me, too; I've had them several years. This may be the first time I've worn them with a top that is completely untucked! I've always felt the need to show the waist, at least with a semi-tuck, in the past. </p> <p>Jenn and Dee, thank you! I'll take "sophisticated and grown up"! One of my style goals in recent years was in fact to get a little more sophisticated and "grown up."</p> <p>unfrumped, here's to a wool pant day! Pinstripes sound very cool, too. </p> <p>Suz, thanks! Cool neutrals c'est moi. </p> <p>Thank you, Beth Ann, Peri, Bonnie, and JAileen!<br />&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585938 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 03:58:52 +0000 Beth Ann 1585938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love those trousers --- what a beautiful drape and fit! &nbsp;This silhouette -- with a cropped jacket and flowy trousers -- is so flattering and appealing. &nbsp;The blouse keeps it fresh and interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585919 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 02:27:43 +0000 Peri 1585919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice! The color and fit of that jacket is fantastic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585911 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 02:15:30 +0000 Suz 1585911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. This is sophisticated, elegant, and rich on you. Love it. It does feel beautifully wintery in the best way. I absolutely love you in these soft cool neutrals.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585897 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 01:43:35 +0000 unfrumped 1585897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smashing checked top!<br /> I wore gray pinstripe flannel pants today- yay!<br /> I love the boots with them. That has been my " adaptation" to keep my trousers from looking too staid. . Your more feminine blouse, jacket and streamlined boots do all that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585889 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 01:12:33 +0000 Bonnie 1585889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a really nice outfit and perfectly fitted. You look elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585887 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 01:04:19 +0000 Dee 1585887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the mixing of tonal shades here. And I second Jenn about it looking "sophisticated and adult", something I'm still hoping to achieve someday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585884 Sat, 21 Nov 2015 00:38:52 +0000 Jenn 1585884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something about this kind of look (wool trousers, nice jacket) just screams sophisticated and adult, in my mind. I suspect it's the kind of thing my mom wore when I was young, but I can't remember any specific outfits. Needless to say, I really like it. You look like confident and polished. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585765 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 18:41:21 +0000 catgirl 1585765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so loving the wide leg trouser look - elegant and new looking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585763 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 18:39:10 +0000 JAileen 1585763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice look! Very sophisticated color scheme. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585738 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 17:39:46 +0000 abc 1585738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a textural treat. &nbsp;This color palette looks so good on you. &nbsp;I have one pair of boots in that shade (Paul Greens to be exact, knowing you're a fan) but struggle to style them. &nbsp;I think I need more of this greige taupe in my wardrobe. &nbsp;You've got it down pat, though! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585728 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 17:05:22 +0000 Anonymous 1585728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the texture and pattern is lovely in this outfit Sharan. The fabrics look really luxe to and it's a great silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585724 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 16:42:16 +0000 Sara L. 1585724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I really like the checks and the quilted jacket together.&nbsp; Very subtle pattern mixing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-checks-tweed#post-1585712 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 16:16:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1585712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frost on cars this morning signals winter. And it's a dry day. Time to get out the wool bootcut pants. </p> <p>Here's what I'm wearing to work today:<br />Black, white, and gray wool tweed trousers (Classiques Entier); black and navy check blouse with funnel neck (made by me); gray leather diamond-quilted peplum jacket (Halogen); gray suede booties (Paul Green, Delgado); navy trench (London Fog), gray cross-body bag (Olbrisch).</p> <p>Thanks for looking! I welcome your thoughts and suggestions. </p>
