Got it! I'm the converse. My feet are always cold, and I need to bundle them up first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734579 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 16:15:01 +0000 bj1111 734579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>angie, my feet run hotter than my torso so i can tolerate cooler temps with barer feet but need to bundle up top. at any rate, i will be rethinking outfit 1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734497 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 14:22:56 +0000 Angie 734497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great doubling up :)</p> <p>I LOVE you in scrunched skinnies. I find them sooooo flattering. </p> <p>Question: Aren't your feet cold in #1? If you have to treble up on top, doesn't that mean it's cold enough for closed shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734441 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 13:09:23 +0000 Scarlet 734441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the deep blue pants in 1. Do you ever pair them with gray or a neutral print? 2 with Cons would set my heart a-flutter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734431 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 12:47:56 +0000 krishnidoux 734431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great advice here. I just want to say I absolutely love your second outfit, everything is so well proportioned, and the print/texture on the pants bring it to a higher level as you wanted. </p> <p>I am not sure about the first one. I don't like the white top, with the sandals anyway, because one is white and one is cream and it is too far apart to create a special white/cream effect. So it makes the sandal look dirty. The jacket, however, is perfect with the sandals. But not with the black topper, because of proportions. </p> <p>If you want to wear a jacket over this topper, try a very cropped one. Then the contrast long/short will look more like it belongs together. </p> <p>I like the idea of that blue with black. Do you have another, shorter black top to wear with the jeans?</p> <p>Do you have black trousers with wider legs to wear with this topper? Either harem inspired or A-line with wide bottom legs and heels. This topper looks like it belongs with a "maxi" outfit. I suggest black because then it creates a vertical column which balances the wideness of both items. I think it would look really good that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734349 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 05:14:47 +0000 bj1111 734349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks, beth ann...good idea.</p> <p>i also have black and white oxford lace ups that i can try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734338 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 04:44:01 +0000 Beth Ann 734338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is stunning! I'd try #1 with a black underlayer and the shoes from #2 -- or boots! Yes, it's matchy, but cool I'm-retro-and-I-know-it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734333 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 04:31:30 +0000 bj1111 734333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks for the tips, ladies. #1 seems a bit seasonally confused with the sandal and the black layers. i'll try this with only the jacket. that may be less confused. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734297 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 03:26:06 +0000 cinnamon fern 734297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the second outfit! I agree with DJ abou the first outfit, the sandals look too light for the rest of it. I have trouble with shoes in this transitional weather, since I have sandals and boots and one pair of clogs which end up getting worn every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734296 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 03:25:00 +0000 Kiwichik 734296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree the first outfit looks better without the jacket. The second outfit looks fine as is but would also look good with cons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734268 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 03:02:46 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 734268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the jacket with the vest in 1. The thing that throws me off is sandals on the bottom, while the rest of you is so layered up. The second outfit is great as is, no tweaks needed to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734255 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 02:44:42 +0000 Suz 734255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know me. All I can see is LEATHER JACKET!! That's just where my brain is at these days! </p> <p>I love the simplicity and quality of each item here. Drape PLUS structure, or in Claire's terms from her post a few days ago, Helen and Cleopatra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734190 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 01:47:44 +0000 JR 734190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have good instincts. The first outfit is wonderful till you add the jacket. And I think the cons would really go well with the second one too. Still, very nice outfits, both of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-doubling-up#post-734160 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 01:12:19 +0000 bj1111 734160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>in an effort to wear more of my closet, i have to double up on outfits.</p> <p>the first was worn to work...casual mtgs, step above working from home activities. i think the black vest is a bit off with the grey leather jacket.</p> <p>the second worn to do errands. i think i would wear cons with this the next time.</p> <p>i'm trying to up my game and dress in 10s, so any comments welcome. </p>
