I like the color repetition in the flats, which really pulls everything together. I do think the pointy, low-vamped flats do a nice job of lengthening the leg line--along with your slender ankles. Super outfit. The black jeans and embellished sweater look great, too. I wouldn't have thought to wear peach and black, but they look good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1333887 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 03:46:31 +0000 Laurel 1333887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love culottes, vests and flats! &nbsp;Good choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1333459 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 18:19:26 +0000 E 1333459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look casual but glamorous in this outfit: I hope you repeat it in the future if you feel good in it now. No stumpiness in sight!</p> <p>I like you more in the bright pink of the top than the peach of the sweater you tried on, but it could just be lighting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1333326 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 15:19:43 +0000 Vi 1333326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm more inspired to try culottes - they hit your leg at just the right spot and don't look stumpy at all! I also like the colour repetition in the top and shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1333284 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 14:41:01 +0000 Neel 1333284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Marley and Kerry!

And I think you are absolutely right! A structured topper would have been perfect for me. The olive vest is nice but just not what I want with this outfit. Great eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1333148 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 05:09:31 +0000 Beth Ann 1333148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No stumpiness visible at all, Neel!&nbsp; I like it as is --- it's easy and casual, but a bit festive.&nbsp; Pointy toes give nice polish to the look.&nbsp;&nbsp; I'd wear it a lot, because Mom on the Go looks deserve some comfort and flow!</p> <p>Perhaps you are craving more structure in the look?&nbsp; If it still doesn't please you, despite our liking it, perhaps swapping out a woven tank for the drapey knit one?&nbsp;&nbsp; You could also substitute a&nbsp; more structured vest,&nbsp; saving this one for pairing with the bootcut trousers in your last pic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1333116 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 03:49:40 +0000 Neel 1333116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone for your very kind comments .... Reading them over my morning coffee makes my day!</p> <p>Shevia - *chuckling* I love Barbie because I loved her as a child but never had a barbie toy ever because my parents couldn't afford it!

I am wowed because a) I didn't expect a K from Angie b) I didn't think you all would like it ^_^ </p> <p>I will pull out another version of this with heels some day. I really want to wear my BF vest with this. Yesterday was just not the day (I had a lot of walking to do).</p> <p>Suz - Yes! The culottes were super comfy! The comfort of pants with the chic look of a skirt </p> <p>Nicole and lisap - F&amp;F is a brand name. And yes I do have the magpie gene! All things shiny attract me :D</p> <p>Jenava - I kind of like the length for now. Which is why I haven't shortened it. But I will when I am bored of this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1332373 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 05:00:54 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1332373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good heavens, I think you could have linked to probably three different posts of Angie's... at least! This is so great. In general I'm having trouble adjusting to flats with this type of look, but you have done it so well that I'm tempted to rethink. This is such a good visual for me to see it done right... I also think you nailed the sleevless top/sleeveless vest combo. And it all looks effortless. Wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1332363 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 04:39:04 +0000 fuzzylogic 1332363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen! Great proportions and colour palette! Totally loving you in those culottes, Neel! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1332312 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 03:11:29 +0000 Anonymous 1332312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You need to wear this lovely outfit often. Love the sequined vest. What fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1332275 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 02:18:42 +0000 Suz 1332275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neel, you couldn't look "stumpy" if you tried. But as it is, the pointy toed shoes do a great job of finishing the look. I like it! Were the culottes comfortable to wear?&nbsp;</p> <p>The peach sweater is also very pretty.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1332263 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 02:03:35 +0000 Anonymous 1332263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stumpy- no way! You give us all hope that flats can absolutely work with culottes. I enjoy looking at your posts for ideas and for inspiration :). I am curious what f &amp; f is too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1332259 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 01:58:53 +0000 jackiec 1332259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Neel I love your outfit!!! And yes the pointy toe flats are brilliant with this! I do like the outfit you tried on - preference for the pants. The sweater is really nice but somehow I prefer you in the brighter shades - but heck that's just me. You always look amazing. Good job to DS on photography!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1332048 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 21:42:39 +0000 Jenava 1332048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the culottes!&nbsp; I like this outfit a lot.&nbsp; My one question is perhaps you could hem them up so they hit just below your knee?&nbsp;&nbsp; They look great with the flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1332020 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 21:17:20 +0000 Angie 1332020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>REPEAT this killer outfit, you gorgeous creature. Yes, the pointy toes do a great job of elongating the leg line.&nbsp;</p> <p>Bootcuts and peach jumper look splendid. On your shopping list. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1331951 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 19:53:10 +0000 Nicole D 1331951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a nice refined casual take on culottes. &nbsp;This version is not stumpy at all. &nbsp;You have a magpie gene don't you? &nbsp;I like the jeans and sweater - a bit hard to see though. &nbsp;I am not familiar with F &amp; F, what does it stand for? &nbsp;I would repeat the culottes combo for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-culottes-and-vest#post-1331927 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 18:51:09 +0000 Neel 1331927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think this outfit is a 10! But here it is anyway!</p> <p>I wore this to take the kids for some gaming fun and dinner later. My challenge was to wear flats with culottes and vest. The mid calf length of my culottes are hard to wear with flats without looking stumpy. And then my boyfriend vest was again a bit too long and the whole combo looked even more stumpy.</p> <p>So finally I decided to go with this version. A shorter sequined vest (Mango) over a red tank top. I finished the outfit with the new Zara pointy toed flats. Do you think the pointy toes work well here to increase the leg line?</p> <p>Should I repeat this oufit again? I didn't feel bad in this but I wasn't super happy either. Probably because the tank here needs a serious upgrade. Its a few years old. Oh well!</p> <p>And bonus shot of what I tried on in F&amp;F while strolling around after dinner :). Black boot cut jeans and Peach embellished sweater. What do you think? I can wait until September to buy of course :)</p> <p>Outfit Photo courtesy- DS1. The lighting was horrendous in my regular spot this evening. All suggestions for improvement are welcome! Thanks for looking as always x </p>
