As for the necklace, I don't think you need one with the neckline detail, but if you do, keep it long and simple in warm brass tones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-top-ankle-pants#post-1495528 Sat, 23 May 2015 23:08:45 +0000 Brooklyn 1495528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi. Another vote for the booties. This outfit looks good on you. Love the colours. I think a long necklace would amp up the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-top-ankle-pants#post-1495523 Sat, 23 May 2015 23:00:24 +0000 unfrumped 1495523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the booties. They lol fab with everything. The stripey tunic is terrific. Necklace/ hmmm, need shape and color to stand out against stripes-- maybe a disc and not lines or crosses? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-top-ankle-pants#post-1495522 Sat, 23 May 2015 22:58:23 +0000 Elizabeth P 1495522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with the booties, and I don't think you need a necklace.&nbsp; I'd be concerned it would mess with that gorgeous cool neckline.&nbsp; </p> <p>That tunic is really really awesome. Thanks for linking to the pattern.&nbsp; You are seriously making me want to start sewing again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-top-ankle-pants#post-1495487 Sat, 23 May 2015 20:08:26 +0000 Windchime 1495487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I like the pattern mixing built into the shirt. The fit and proportions of both shirt and ankle pants look really good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-top-ankle-pants#post-1495429 Sat, 23 May 2015 17:03:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1495429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane, thanks! Yes, I really like a lot of the styles Vogue patterns has out right now. I'm flattered you thought of me when you saw them. You are right--I needed a longer necklace than the ones I was trying on with the tunic. Wardrobe hole!</p> <p>Donna--that's a great necklace idea. </p> <p>Karie, I used <a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v9057-products-49015.php?page_id=260" rel="nofollow">this Vogue pattern by Marcy Tilton</a>. </p> <p>Thanks, Debbie, I'll check out the Nordstrom sale. </p> <p>Angie and all, I'm glad to hear the slight preference for the booties. I was thinking the flats might be more in keeping with the ankle strap proportions, but the booties were super comfortable for the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-top-ankle-pants#post-1495377 Sat, 23 May 2015 15:12:21 +0000 Angie 1495377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both renditions are fab, Sharan. I slightly prefer the booties too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-top-ankle-pants#post-1495369 Sat, 23 May 2015 14:46:34 +0000 Debbie 1495369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the outfit. If you want a necklace I would go with a long pendant as suggested. Nordstroms has several on sale right now. I will try and add them to finds this afternoon from the lap top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-top-ankle-pants#post-1495329 Sat, 23 May 2015 12:06:59 +0000 Karie 1495329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great outfit! I prefer the booties, and a longer necklace would look good too, although you don't really need one. Did you use a pattern for the top, and if so, do you mind if I ask what pattern it was? I want to make myself some long, drapey tops this summer.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-top-ankle-pants#post-1495321 Sat, 23 May 2015 11:45:09 +0000 MTBGirl 1495321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! I prefer the booties but both are great. Awesome top you made! I was gonna say what Diane did for a necklace. Something long, maybe hitting at the bottom of your ribcage. Maybe something similar to this find in length and size?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-top-ankle-pants#post-1495311 Sat, 23 May 2015 10:56:09 +0000 Anonymous 1495311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great Sharan. The tunic you made is just fabulous. I have a minor preference for the cut out booties with the outfit I think. Re-necklace. I'm guessing maybe a long pendant so that it didn't fight with the lovely detail around the neckline? I love the colours in this look BTW...just my cup of tea, so to speak.</p> <p>Oh, btw, I'm guessing you've already seen the new range of Vogue patterns :</p> <a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/new-sewing-patterns-pages-174.php?list=0" rel="nofollow">http://voguepatterns.mccall.co.....php?list=0</a>&nbsp;When I saw some of the fab tops, tunics and dresses, I immediately though of you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-drapey-top-ankle-pants#post-1495273 Sat, 23 May 2015 03:56:08 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1495273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw Angie's ensemble post today after I got home from work. I realized 2 things: 1) I wore a version of the ensemble, and 2) I should have consulted the post before I left the house. :)</p> <p>I tried the outfit 2 ways--one with the closest thing I have to ankle strap shoes and one with a high-vamped cut-out bootie. I wore it to work with the booties today. After seeing Angie's post and being reminded of <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wi-am-wearing-to-dinner-angies-picks" rel="nofollow">Debbie's fab outfit</a>, I thought my outfit could have really benefited from a great necklace. And actually I thought the same thing this morning as I was dressing--I tried two different ones and neither one left with me. I just couldn't seem to get the look I was after. I did wear my jean jacket over the tunic, which I quite liked, but it was my outerwear today; I did not keep it on indoors.</p> <p>The outfit:<br />1-2, as I wore it to work: olive skinny boyfriend chinos with brass studs down the sides (Lucky); olive and white striped drapey tunic with shark-bite front hem and print neck and sleeve trim (made by me); taupe cutout booties (Kork-Ease, Stina).<br />3-4, the other version I tried: same outfit with taupe cross-strap flats (Naot). </p> <p>I felt this outfit was comfortable and passable. I'd have liked it better with a jacket or vest, and/or with a statement necklace.<br />Thoughts and suggestions welcome! Thanks for looking. </p>
