I guess I need to wear more red. I have always loved it but have been through kind of a dry spell the last few years. On the hunt for a tomato red bag....:-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1790712 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 15:16:47 +0000 Mirjana 1790712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red sweater is a great on you, I like #1 and #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1790698 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 14:50:34 +0000 Angie 1790698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good idea.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1790689 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 14:44:36 +0000 Chris987 1790689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! No not too bothersome, I too like sleeves a little long for outerwear, but there is a fine line between long-ish and too long. Maybe I'll just live with it and see if it bothers me after I've worn it a few more times.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1790686 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 14:42:10 +0000 Angie 1790686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trench looks GREAT. It's the right size. I like the length of the sleeves for outerwear - are they bothersome?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1790673 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 14:05:24 +0000 Anonymous 1790673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red is a great colour for you - and I really like what you did with the scarf and necklaces ! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1790669 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 13:51:43 +0000 Chris987 1790669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a better photo of the trenchcoat. The shoulders may be a tiny bit big but I want to be able to wear it over a topper, and I need the room in the hip area that this size provides. I do think the sleeves are a little long and as you say Ryce that's an easy alteration. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1790021 Tue, 21 Mar 2017 16:44:19 +0000 Angie 1790021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay.

SL jeans seem to be getting harder to find especially in premium brands.</p> <p>Thanks Shevia. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1789861 Tue, 21 Mar 2017 02:45:17 +0000 Jaime 1789861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red looks super on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1789839 Tue, 21 Mar 2017 01:05:52 +0000 Style Fan 1789839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks Chris.&nbsp; I love the layering of the necklaces and scarf.&nbsp; I will have to check out RL jeans.&nbsp; I am looking for straight legged jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1789810 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 22:45:55 +0000 Jenn 1789810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in red, Chris, and it matches your phone case! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1789802 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 22:17:14 +0000 JAileen 1789802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still like the boots. They don't feel clunky to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1789801 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 22:17:08 +0000 Anonymous 1789801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two very nice looks! &nbsp;You have an enviable scarf collection - and wear them well! And that shade of red IS lovely on you.<br />I always have to hem coat and jacket sleeves, too. It's a pain but at least an easy alteration.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1789794 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 22:07:05 +0000 Angie 1789794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perhaps you can take a pic of the trench coat from the front, and I can see the fit more clearly, Chris.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1789789 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 21:51:51 +0000 Carla 1789789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You grey/ blue trench is indeed fab! Love the tomatoe red. The neckerchief is inspired - I like the way you tied it.</p> <p>Happy first day of spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1789788 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 21:46:15 +0000 Chris987 1789788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Bonnie, yeah RL straight leg jeans are one the best fits on me. The ones I have are several years old, they last a long time too.</p> <p>Angie thanks, and yes I think the coat is the right size but the sleeves are a little long. It comes in SP, MP, and LP and if I size down it's too tight overall. Should see about shortening the sleeves. </p> <p>Thanks Jaileen, what do you think of the boots? Are you still liking them? The just seem a little clunky, not so sleek to me.....but that's a new feeling, when I bought them over a year ago I did not feel that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1789725 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 17:00:43 +0000 JAileen 1789725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your grey/blue trench looks really great on you. I have the same Lucky boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1789723 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 16:58:50 +0000 Angie 1789723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look GREAT in #1, #2 and #5, Chris. You are ready for early Spring. Fab light boots, tomato red, and neck bling.&nbsp;</p> <p>Are you sure that the trench in #3 is the right size?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1789679 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 15:46:31 +0000 Bonnie 1789679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red sweater really looks good with your complexion. I like your finds and was pleased to see the Ralph Lauren jeans. That used to be my favorite brand for straight leg jeans. I'm glad to see that Macy's still carries them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-early-march-taste-of-spring#post-1789638 Mon, 20 Mar 2017 14:55:41 +0000 Chris987 1789638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are two outfits I wore in early March when we had a little taste of early spring. I’m really liking tomato red this spring. After that week the cold&nbsp;temps returned and storm Stella dumped over a foot of snow , so back to winter&nbsp;garb for a bit longer.&nbsp;Would love to hear your thoughts! . &nbsp;</p> <p>Outfit 1 - Halogen tomato red sweater with very old Liz&nbsp;Claiborne silk scarf, RL jeans, Lucky cognac booties, grey bag, and DKNY steel&nbsp;blue short trench. I added a thrifted bracelet, a Lucky brand necklace, and<br /> small lapis “globe” stud earrings. This was a bit too maximal for me and I<br /> later removed the necklace. For an event later in the day in a chilly meeting room, I added my camel faux leather jacket. My cognac booties seem a bit “clunky” to&nbsp;me this spring.&nbsp; Photos 1 &amp; 2.</p> <p>Outfit 2 - &nbsp;Loft Red&nbsp;Blouse, Loft navy moto sweater (a lovely blue/black woven fabric), Loft Jeans, Loft Tan Trenchcoat (which looked&nbsp;better in person than this sloppy photo), scarf bought at a botanical garden<br /> gift shop, Grey bag, Via Spiga monk strap loafers. I tried the blouse untucked but&nbsp;liked it better loosely tucked in with this particular moto sweater. Photos 3,4,5</p> </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
