In every way you have it styled here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-457297 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 21:13:06 +0000 nancylee 457297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt is AMAZING, Janet. And you've styled it beautifully to let it be the star. Love the jacket and how you've styled it in all the photos. You look stylish and confident. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-457294 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 21:10:29 +0000 Janet 457294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! Suz, I meant to respond to your question -- yep, that's my studio in 1-6. The light is better there for photos than at home. The last two pics are in our bedroom, and the light is definitely lacking. </p> <p>Anna, I know what you mean about Desigual. I think I really like about 10% of their stuff, and the other 90% does absolutely nothing for me. I do like Asian themed prints, so this one called to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456936 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 13:26:55 +0000 teri 456936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is sooooooo super cute!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456927 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 13:10:19 +0000 Danelle 456927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these looks, especially the scarves, leather jacket w/boots and the hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456656 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 00:00:39 +0000 annagybe 456656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok so I know a lot of people that go Ape over Desigual. I just don't get some of there stuff. That being said that's a pretty nice skirt. New leather jacket looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456650 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:53:32 +0000 Carole 456650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful new jacket, love the color. I love the skirt too, so different, but in a good way. But you look amazing in 4-6. The colors together are gorgeous, and that hat, well you should wear more hats! So Fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456645 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:45:27 +0000 Jjsloane 456645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing what others have said. Love the combinations and especially digging 4-6 (I'm a sucker for argyle and you made it not too preppy with the leather and the hat). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456616 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:12:38 +0000 Mellllls 456616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>all 3 looks are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456613 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:09:40 +0000 missvee 456613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are wonderful outfits - great play of colours and textures. I think the jacket in 7/8 would look great also over a slightly heavier weight top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456585 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 22:35:40 +0000 Angie 456585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the new skirt and jacket, Janet! I'm digging the short over the long too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456531 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:53:12 +0000 Jonesy 456531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful skirt and beautiful new jacket!! I love both of these pieces, and you've styled them so well. The hat is awesome on you too. Re. the last look with the blouse: it certainly doesn't hold a candle to the argyle/scarf look, but maybe if you added the same blue scarf (or a different scarf), and left the ends long and hanging down, you would get a nice layered, interesting look and keep the cropped-over-long thing going. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456481 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:52:29 +0000 modgrl 456481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That leather jacket is fantastic!! Forget about altering your old ones. You found the perfect new replacement. I love how you have styled it both ways, and especially with the hat. I'm not a fan of big patterns but I think the skirt is pretty on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456466 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:36:46 +0000 Janet 456466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you hit on exactly the thought I had -- I was thinking the tunic-y top would look better in a darker color with less contrast. But I like the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456462 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:31:51 +0000 kellygirl 456462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not one for too much pattern but I've got to say that I love the way you styled it. Minimal color lets the skirt shine without looking too busy. It's awesome on you : ) Love the leather jacket with the argyle. That's a great proportion on you. I like it better than with the longer top for some reason. Great fedora! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456461 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:31:15 +0000 Suz 456461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WHOOT!!! </p> <p>Janet, you look stunning. The blue of that scarf with your eyes and skin...the new jacket looks buttery soft and is brilliant with your Fryes. Love the contrast of the leather with the pretty, preppy argyle. To my eye, that is k-worthy for sure. And you are right about those jeans. The hat is also stunning on you. </p> <p>Love your first outfit, too. The skirt makes all the statement you need and works so well with the scarf and jacket. The jacket looks fabulous, but yes, I can see that it is large for you. It seems like a great piece, though. I wonder about getting a quote for alterations. </p> <p>Like your simple styling idea in 7/8, too. I feel as if maybe the top needs extra crispness (in this colour) or greater visual weight (not sure which) so perhaps a different tone, ie not as much contrast. But I will be listening to others' thoughts. </p> <p>Is that your studio you are posing in, in 1/2? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456458 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:27:44 +0000 Janet 456458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a lot of look in a skirt for me, too, but I loved the cranes, so I acted impulsively and went for it. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456454 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:26:00 +0000 bj1111 456454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>for a minimalist, i find that skirt oddly appealing. great set of outfits. love the feather detail on the hat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-desigual-skirt-inspired-by-andrea-w-and-new-leather-jacket#post-456440 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:15:26 +0000 Janet 456440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1-3</p> <p>Yesterday I decided to suck up my doubts about the Desigual skirt I bought recently, once I saw Andrea W's WIW with her great red and black outfit. I took a similar approach -- the skirt is busy, so I kept everything else simple, with a black leather moto jacket, dark grey long sleeved tee, black tights, black moto boots, and a fuschia cashmere scarf to pick up a bit of the colorful skirt. </p> <p>Skirt: Desigual<br /> Jacket: Clothes<br /> Tee: H&amp;M<br /> Scarf: Nordstrom<br /> Tights: DKNY<br /> Boots: Cordani</p> <p>This is one of my jackets that is now a little big -- you probably can't tell with my hands in the pockets, but I included a pic with my arms out so you can see -- my torso is much smaller than the spread of the jacket you see here! But it's still handy for layering underneath in colder weather. </p> <p>#4-6 </p> <p>Last night I found an awesome leather jacket, and I think it's an excellent replacement for one I am giving to my niece. I couldn't wait to wear it, so it made its debut today. </p> <p>It's quite cropped in the torso and in the sleeve length, but I like that style and I push up the sleeves anyway. I love the sort of burnished subtle metallic finish and moto styling -- totally up my alley! I paired it with my favorite cornflower blue argyle sweater, a scarf that matches the sweater uncannily well, my magical Paige skinnies that seem to make me look skinnier, and my comfy taupe Frye boots. I included a closeup so you can see some of the feather detail on my new hat! </p> <p>Jacket: Theory via Niemann Marcus Last Call<br /> Sweater: Esprit<br /> Scarf: had it so long I can't remember<br /> Jeans: Paige<br /> Boots: Frye<br /> Hat: 5/48 </p> <p>I realize I'm not showing you the jacket buttoned up, but it looks great buttoned too -- just with a different outfit. I think a higher waisted skirt or pants, or a dress will show that off best. </p> <p>In #7-8 I'm also including a yay or nay styling idea for the jacket. It's my attempt at playing with proportion -- short over long. I like it, but it's out of my usual comfort zone. The jacket with the same skinnies and boots I'm wearing today, but with a cream Trouve blouse/tunic. What do you think? </p>
