But I may try it tucked like Angie said - but not w these jeans bc the waist is too high. </p> <p>I am wearing the shoes again today and got better results. About to post a new wiw. Thanks to all for the feedback !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1562266 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 13:50:31 +0000 Angie 1562266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cuff the jeans a bit, add a feminine shoe, and show a bit of waistline with a semi tuck and belt. You look pretty in that plaid, abc. Nice cognac bag too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1562263 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 13:47:03 +0000 Suz 1562263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look really pretty!! But I understand what you're saying and I think Aida had excellent suggestions. I also like the thought to cuff the jeans and wear with sandals or a sandal bootie (if you have it) -- or even try with booties -- hard to know whether that would work. It's a question of adding more structure, I think.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1562239 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 13:12:05 +0000 Ankita 1562239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looooove plaid...so i had to love this! I think Aida made very good suggestions...<br />YLF abc </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1562227 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 12:34:50 +0000 marianna 1562227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you cuff the jeans a bit? Love the look with a minor tweak! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1562196 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 09:41:15 +0000 Anonymous 1562196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firstly, let me say that you had me at cognac and plaid . I love the rich colours here ABC, but I do agree with the diagnoses of skinny fit jeans or a prettier shoe...or white jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1562167 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 06:27:18 +0000 Brooklyn 1562167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bag and shoes are fab and the shirt works with cognac really well. I vote either white or lighter wash jeans. I like Aidas suggestions too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1562139 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 03:44:28 +0000 Maneera 1562139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you, girl. I think you look pretty great for a MOTG.... This outfit is practical. </p> <p>Right now, the look is pretty unstructured. Straight leg dark wash denim, untucked masculine shirt....and booties. I think Aida is absolutely right. Either you need to wear prettier shoes (with pointed toes or open sandals; metallics are great too) or you need to wear skinny jeans for some structure. Light wash jeans may help....rolling your hem should help too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1562089 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:26:23 +0000 Jenn 1562089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love plaid. And cognac. And plaid and cognac. I can see what you mean about the masculine vibe, though. Aida always has good suggestions, so do what she says. You could also try adding a statement necklace, like Dee did a few days ago, to glam up the shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1562083 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:20:46 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1562083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White jeans instead of black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1562071 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:12:36 +0000 Jaime 1562071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I see your pretty face and long blonde hair as plenty feminine enough to balance the somewhat tomboyishness of the outfit and I love your new bag. But if I try not to project so much, I will go with what Aida said about the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1562068 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:09:42 +0000 Aida 1562068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pant-shoe combo is what does it for me, abc. I have trouble with straight leg pants in general for this very reason. I vote either pair these shoes with skinnies, or pair these pants with a "prettier" shoe (something pointy, metallic, heeled, etc.). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1562062 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:05:41 +0000 Thistle 1562062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super fab! The cognac is such a lovely rich color.</p> <p>Hmm, well, the top is plaid with denim and boots. It might be a bit of a masculine look, even though th plaid is purple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cognacplaid#post-1561998 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 22:16:03 +0000 abc 1561998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WIW today for a normal MOTG / WFH day</p> <p>New purse bought yesterday (woohoo)<br /> cognac boots bought last year<br /> NYDJ black jeans a few years old<br /> purple, white, black plaid shirt very old, realize it is a more fitted silhouette but it's the only plaid I have at the moment!</p> <p>Help me diagnose -- I feel funny.  Don't know.  Not feminine?  I think it is the pants and shoe combo.</p> <p>The jeans are straight leg and cover the top of the shoe.  The boots have a low block heel (for me).  Is that why?</p> <p>Thoughts on how to improve?  (other than throwing out and starting over, haha)</p> <p>My ideas are:<br /> -pair the jeans with open shoes to not be so covered up around the ankle and foot<br /> -pair the shoes with the gap straight/skinny jeans, maybe even rolled?</p> <p>Any help greatly appreciated. </p>
