That jacket was a major markdown on shopbop, and it has a detachable hood! Here it is sans hood with a dress. It is satisfying my urge to get a bomber jacket right now (with its ribbed cuffs and bottom is a bit of a moto-bomber cross). Oh yeah, and the sleeves zip off as well. Way to go Pencey Standard!</p> <p>The pants - a funny thing is that in my head they were grey and black, and it wasn't til halfway through the day that I realized they are actually navy and grey. But they still look OK with black. I appreciate your suggestions and will try them with different toppers - intrigued to see how the houndstooth will look with them!</p> <p>Sorry, I accidentally posted both these photos, can't seem to remove one, so forgive me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872607 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 16:23:54 +0000 Tina.b 872607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an amazing week of outfits. #1 is brilliant, the houndstooth jacket just feels so modern and fun. Love it paired with the lion necklace! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872561 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 15:22:54 +0000 Angie 872561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is absolutely KILLER. Wow! </p> <p>#4 and #7 are wonderful too! </p> <p>I think #5 has potential, but the hems of those pants look like they need some tapering in order to come across as fashion forward. Try the jacket in #1 with those pants :)</p> <p>Nice style descriptor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872387 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 07:21:33 +0000 CocoLion 872387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drapey pants are brilliant! They work so well on your tall build. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872365 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 05:42:23 +0000 annagybe 872365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1. I think a cropped jacket in #5 would work better. But currently I have a poison eye for waterfall cardigans, so please take with a huge grain of salt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872304 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 04:19:58 +0000 Kalli 872304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving #1 the most, the jacket is to die for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872279 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 03:54:19 +0000 Suz 872279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I am a total sucker for houndstooth. So I am with Beth Ann - #1 is my fave. But I also love your drapey pants, and I think you still have enough "peacock" in all of these (neutral though they may be) to please your soul. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872203 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 02:35:44 +0000 Beth Ann 872203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful looks this week, Nicole. The first is my favorite, in graphic black and white!</p> <p>Love the drapey pants, too!. I think you've styled them well, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872187 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 02:24:54 +0000 JulieJohn 872187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all of these, especially the first dress, and I think the drapey pants work great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872122 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 01:27:49 +0000 Carla 872122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So stylish, but the bright punctuation at the end sings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872076 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 00:38:49 +0000 catherine 872076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how you look in every one, and the orange and animal is especially lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872045 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 00:08:39 +0000 Thistle 872045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All so fab! I LOVE you in that orange. It looks so amazing on you. Fun necklace, too. I think you styled the slouchy trousers well. This slouchy business is tough after so many years of body con, but I think you have it down! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872042 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 00:02:59 +0000 JennyK (NC) 872042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All look great but that dress with the jacket and the clutch in #4 is outstanding! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872039 Sat, 09 Mar 2013 00:01:27 +0000 Caro in Oz 872039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the way you've used texture &amp; pattern with you neutrals. Great looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872027 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 23:52:07 +0000 Anonymous 872027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the lion necklace, and dress in 4 looks awesome on you. I like your drapey trousers too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872017 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 23:44:51 +0000 lyn* 872017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in neutrals! I love the way that even though there is a limited amount of colour, you have such an interesting mix of patterns and textures - and that necklace in #2 is just too cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drab-female-peacockand-a-burst-of-orange#post-872010 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 23:40:33 +0000 Nicole D 872010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With my new label of Urban Romantic Peacock you would think I would be all colourful and stuff, but this week I seemed to reach for neutrals and subdued shades. But I caved in by the end of the week!</p> <p>Isn't that a cute necklace in #2? It is shaped like a lion's head. From shoedazzle! I confess, they have some cute stuff.</p> <p>I also tried slouchy pants for the first time. They are from Long Tall Sally so they are long enough. So comfortable. But not sure if I styled it correctly. I wore a polyester shell and a draped jersey jacket. Maybe a cropped jacket better? </p> <p>Still need a topper with short sleeves these days, but I can smell spring in the air!</p> <p>Open to feedback and thanks for looking! </p>
