There are quite a few details, but not so many that they overwhelm the saddle shoes, which get to take center stage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-experimental-layering#post-1609356 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 03:30:07 +0000 Kaelyn 1609356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suppose not noticing a strong lipstick color is the goal.

Apologies for the late response. It's been a busy couple of days.</p> <p>Joy, that made me smile. :-)</p> <p>Aida, I'll try it with my cropped moto jacket next! Great suggestion. </p> <p>Everyone, thanks for all the sweet compliments!

Your new purchases are awesome! The shoes really make this outfit. They're the piece that gives it personality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-experimental-layering#post-1608836 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 03:42:22 +0000 Aida 1608836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun seeing you adding little retro elements. I like the long top over the skirt, and both the cardigan and the black tights add additional length even with the saddle shoes' super high contrast (which tie in nicely to the top). Vertical lines galore! This tunic would also be fun with a cropped jacket, for a very different look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-experimental-layering#post-1608835 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 03:39:01 +0000 Jaime 1608835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look and agree the saddle shoes are the perfect touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-experimental-layering#post-1608833 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 03:36:39 +0000 Windchime 1608833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with the others--you look great in this outfit, and the saddle shoes are a wonderful addition to your closet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-experimental-layering#post-1608829 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 03:19:09 +0000 JAileen 1608829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfit, especially the saddle shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-experimental-layering#post-1608826 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 03:09:30 +0000 Janet 1608826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with torontogirl -- the black and white is really great on you. Those saddle shoes are cool, and I love how you tied them into the outfit with the white striped top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-experimental-layering#post-1608823 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 02:59:52 +0000 Helena 1608823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love you in black and white, it suits you.

YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-experimental-layering#post-1608815 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 02:41:14 +0000 Anonymous 1608815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit on you and the striped shirt and oxfords can be the basis of other outfits too. The Goblin King may come looking for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-experimental-layering#post-1608812 Fri, 29 Jan 2016 02:29:51 +0000 Kaelyn 1608812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I didn't get a better shot from the front--I was with my mom and we were in a hurry after this one was taken. I posed like that so I could send this to a friend who's as obsessed with Labyrinth as I am and say there was no sign of the Goblin King. ;-)</p> <p>The striped tunic and saddle shoes are two more of my new purchases, and I LOVE them. Especially the shoes. I wore them around my apartment the day they arrived to break them in and they're really comfortable.</p> <p>The experiment was layering the long tunic over a short skirt, and I'm happy with how it worked. I have long legs and a short torso, so I usually don't like to tuck my shirts. It felt like an extreme take on elongating my torso. Plus the long hooded plush cardigan, which I've had for a good 8 years now. It's from Target and it's held up surprisingly well after all this time. It was somewhat on hold for the last couple of years because I was enjoying newer toppers, but I'm happy to be wearing it again.</p> <p>My mom, who wore saddle shoes as a kid, LOVED them. My dad said they reminded him of some mean girls he knew, but didn't HATE them. They both said they were blinded by how white they are. They aren't used to seeing me in white shoes; I've always had a STRONG presence for black, or other dark colors. But I'm liking this change. They feel different from my usual in the best way possible!</p> <p>I think I'm liking the retro thing. I want to introduce MORE retro items to play with this year. </p>
