Slight preference for the black sweater. Punchier with the green socks, which are a fun and practical addition!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-pinterest-inspiration-challenge#post-2344310 Wed, 15 Nov 2023 04:09:09 +0000 SarahD8 2344310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaime I seem to admire these minimal outfits but when push comes to shove I take them in a less minimal direction. You prefer less minimal still. #onbrand It’s all good! :-)</p> <p>suntiger, thanks!</p> <p>Suz I approve of fair isle socks both visible and hidden! I don’t think the challenge has to be Pinterest based, just any style related image will do if you wanted to join in. And yes Runcarla is another queen of this sort of thing — I am learning from the masters! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-pinterest-inspiration-challenge#post-2344301 Wed, 15 Nov 2023 03:23:08 +0000 Suz 2344301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool! This is a fun self-challenge! Runcarla has done similar ones. I never use Pinterest any more but if I did, I'd be joining in!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I prefer the version with the black sweater if your goal is to respond to the original in a way that echoes the original. But I like the grey sweater, too! Love the socks and beads combo!&nbsp;</p> <p>You will be delighted to know that for part of the day I wore Fair Isle socks with loafers. Mind you, they weren't truly visible because I was wearing full length wide legs. But still.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-pinterest-inspiration-challenge#post-2344296 Wed, 15 Nov 2023 01:55:55 +0000 Anonymous 2344296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It works! I like that inspo outfit too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-pinterest-inspiration-challenge#post-2344287 Wed, 15 Nov 2023 01:31:40 +0000 Jaime 2344287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the green socks and how the jewelry mimics them. I prefer the neckline in #5 - safety pin detail included. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-day-2-pinterest-inspiration-challenge#post-2344274 Wed, 15 Nov 2023 01:00:44 +0000 SarahD8 2344274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another day, another loafers-and-bare-ankles inspiration image. I will do something different, and more colorful tomorrow -- I promise!</p> <p>Here's what I noticed about this inspiration image:<br /> -Simple, streamlined silhouette<br /> -Menswear inspired details<br /> -Neutral outfit with statement shoes (even though the shoes are also neutral, the pattern and lighter value compared to the rest of the outfit make them really pop, to my eye)</p> <p>My version:<br /> -charcoal velvet trouser-style pants. These were sort of an impulse purchase but I am really enjoying the tomboy vibe of the trouser style in contrast to my usual 5-pocket jeans cut.<br /> -two versions with two different sweaters: solid black, and tweedy gray. I thought the tweed might be analogous to the pinstripe of the pants in the original outfit. <br /> -I prefer the version with the black sweater: greater contrast between the pants and the top, and I think the cut of the black sweater better mirrors the vibe of the original outfit better. Your thoughts?<br /> -I don't really have "statement" loafers. The shine of the black patent loafers is arguably statement, but in this context with other dark neutrals I don't think they provide enough of a punch.<br /> -So I turn again to statement socks -- a bright color and some sparkle.<br /> -I'm not really making this up though either -- see last photo, I've pinned a ton of loafers-with-visible-socks looks too.<br /> -Turned up the cuff of the pants for more ankle oomph. This was a good idea although with the velvet rubbing against itself the cuffs tended to "grow" -- so it was a bit fussy.<br /> -Added green beads and gold necklace to echo the socks in the top half of the outfit.</p> <p>Thanks once again for looking, open to any thoughts or suggestions you care to share! </p>
