Thank you so dearly for sharing her notes with me. I love her writing style and I found a few points in there that were very helpful :D&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2391735 Wed, 23 Jul 2025 01:32:29 +0000 Ket 2391735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>kinnick</b>, thank you! I feel slim jeans have always been my best look. Now, I have found a pair of flares that I'm very excited about. &nbsp;Will post about them soon. But I do think slim and skinnies are very good.</p> <p><b>UmmLisa</b>, oh thank you! I really hope Mac keeps producing the color. It's the only pink I've ever been able to wear and look good in. (It's called a plum shade by Mac, but it's a warm pink on me.)</p> <p><b>Lyn67</b>, thank you!! That's an extremely good point about dyeing process possibly shrinking it. I didn't think of that. I'm definitely not going to dye it. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2391691 Tue, 22 Jul 2025 19:35:29 +0000 Helena 2391691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ket, I did! She used to live relatively close and we ended up booking a lake house close to her one summer so I took advantage. I'll look up my notes from her and share! I was a soft summer but on the deeper side and leaning warm ... So some might be relevant for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2391223 Fri, 18 Jul 2025 21:33:31 +0000 lyn67 2391223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I L.O.V.E&nbsp; everything about this outfit and WOW YLF wearing it! Pop of red sandals is particulary&nbsp; a jam but would keep the jacket this color I wouldn't risk to eventually change sizes when dyeing in hot water!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2391193 Fri, 18 Jul 2025 16:49:35 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2391193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look is really pretty. And I do like the lipstick, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2391095 Thu, 17 Jul 2025 16:48:59 +0000 kinnick 2391095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these jeans on you. I think it is a much better look than the flares you were considering. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390940 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 21:53:39 +0000 Ket 2390940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jaime</b>, thank you as ever, lovely friend &lt;3&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><b>Zaeobi</b>, oh that's lovely of you! I do love how refreshing this felt, especially for DA. I love my color season but sometimes it feels a bit heavy or predictable? Nice to do some lights.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Helena</b>, oh my gosh, thank you!!! I am blushing from all of your lovely feedback and compliments. &nbsp;That is an excellent point about dipping into the neutrals and playing! And whoa! You got to see THE Christine Scaman? I admit, I'm totally jealous in the best possible way. That's so wonderful she draped you. Thanks for sharing that.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Robin</b>, thank you so much! I am worried about streaks and splotches. I have a friend who does a lot of dyeing. She has really consistent results but... she does a lot of agitating/mixing while the dye absorbs. And she has a huge pot. I'm just not sure if I'm brave enough yet to over-dye this jacket. :}&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Kyle</b>, thank you so, so much! I love this outfit a lot and hope I get a few more chances to repeat it.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390892 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 14:29:30 +0000 Kyle 2390892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Soft and pretty on you! The jeans are perfect, the nipped in waist is gorgeous and your makeup is just right. Love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390885 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 13:36:10 +0000 RobinF 2390885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I also like the jacket color as is. I have dyed items with mixed results. Looks cute with the pink sandals.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390880 Wed, 16 Jul 2025 11:39:31 +0000 Helena 2390880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow wow this is so good! From everything I know about your style journey, this outfit seems like it took all you've learned and applied then perfectly!</p> <p>Fwiw I would worry about the jacket colour either ... As I understand it, as a DA you are neutral-warm and thus can tolerate a little dipping into the very neutral end. I had a colour analysis many years ago with Christine Scaman and she also placed me as a neutral season and encouraged me to play on the edge, to add a little dimension and interest. Just my opinion FWIW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390788 Tue, 15 Jul 2025 17:40:53 +0000 Zaeobi 2390788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket and top combo reads warm toned on you as is! Nice way to do a summery outfit for a DA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390510 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 23:45:27 +0000 Jaime 2390510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your makeup is the perfect compliment to your outfit (as usual). So pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390499 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 23:08:36 +0000 Ket 2390499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much, Carol! Those are great ideas. I admit, I've never worn a ball cap. Will have to try one. Definitely love the idea to add a tee under the jacket! I think my grey tee could be good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390486 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 20:37:49 +0000 Carol 2390486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dunno, it seems like you have a knack for footwear. I like these cute, summery shoes, and I feel they just need a casual match. Like the outfit is great, but what if you had no topper, and a fun ball cap? Or kept the topper, but had a fun, simple yellow or blue tee under there? Shoes and jeans together are great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390466 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 17:05:45 +0000 Ket 2390466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Irina</b>, <b>Sharan</b>, <b>kkards</b>,&nbsp;<b>Angie</b>, I think I am going to keep the jacket original. Dyeing is a lot of work, from what I'm told by a dyeing friend. Also, the color is pretty good as is. I don't want to botch it with a splotchy dye job or have the color go too deep. Close enough is good enough!<div><br /></div><div><b>Lisa</b>, thank you! Yes, sandals really need to be bought. Hard thing is we are nearly to the end of summer. I'm almost inclined to buy another pair or two of fall shoes and hit summer sandals later. But then again, end-of-summer sales will happen soon too. SO... dilemma time hehe!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Aquamarine</b>, thank you!! Not sure I will actually dye it after considering all the work. :} Chickening out.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Lise</b>, oh good point about juxtaposition! I love that you shared that. Thank you &lt;3</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, thank you so much!!I am really love in love with this outfit. It's so much softer and lower energy than my usual looks, and I think that's why I love it so much.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Mirjana</b>, thank you dearly!&nbsp;</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390449 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 15:35:27 +0000 Mirjana 2390449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jacket looks great with the romantic blouse. Beautiful outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390448 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 15:17:41 +0000 Suz 2390448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic outfit on you, Ket! Love the new thrifted jacket. Looks amazing with the romantic blouse and jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390440 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 14:58:40 +0000 Angie 2390440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The topper looks great with the blouse, <b>Ket</b>! I vote do not dye it! Super pretty and soft on you :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390417 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 12:49:40 +0000 kkards 2390417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope Brooklyn sees this and comments as she has dyed a lot of pieces and might have some advice/tips and tricks.&nbsp;<div>I personally am not handy so it would not be something I’d try, but I feel like you have skills. &nbsp;&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390399 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 06:48:05 +0000 Star (Lise) 2390399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! The flip flops are modern and a fun juxtaposition. And comfortable :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390386 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 01:23:50 +0000 Aquamarine 2390386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a pretty jacket on you! You’re brave to consider dying it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390383 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 01:20:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2390383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I love this tonal look on you, Ket. Super outfit! Dyeing the jacket to warm up the color sounds very tricky to me. To you, maybe, it's a fun project--haha! I have never worked with dye at all.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390373 Sat, 12 Jul 2025 00:26:40 +0000 Lisa 2390373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty soft colors and romantic draping with the jacket and top. The bright color shoe is a fun addition of color. It looks like some sandals should be on your shopping list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390367 Fri, 11 Jul 2025 23:48:47 +0000 Irina 2390367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! The topper works so well with a blouse and together look very elegant. I would keep the jacket’s color as is! Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-cropped-trench-and-jeans#post-2390363 Fri, 11 Jul 2025 22:46:13 +0000 Ket 2390363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wore this to my monthly mom friends' dinner. </p> <p>New thrifted jacket! This is a cropped trench with waterfall/draped front. I really love it! Super lightweight. Comfortable drapey, fluid cut. 100% brushed cotton, very cool for a summer topper. The color is a bit more greyed taupe than I prefer. I'm considering subtly dyeing it to shift the undertone toward "almond". Will see if that happens in reality ha! For now, it's good as is.</p> <p>Only outfit disappointment are my sandals. I still haven't gotten my Sofft gladiators fixed, and I haven't ordered a new summer sandal yet either. My only choice was my 4-inch caged wedges, or pink knock-off Croc flip-flops. The flip-flops won.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Love the pop of green with the earrings. Also, went softer with my makeup. Lipstick is Mac Brick-o-la, a gorgeous yet fresh autumn pink/plum. I went with cat-eye eyeliner for a change.&nbsp;</p> <p>Jacket: Torrid<br />Blouse: Old Navy<br />Jeans: Eloquii "Leigh"<br /><div><br /></div></div> </p>
