Athough, I also&nbsp;tend to be &nbsp;that faint hearted, so I can relate! If doesn't feel good wearing something on me, I will hardly wear it again, no matter the compliments:-((. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-self-conscious#post-1220422 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 08:45:18 +0000 Lantana 1220422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to this thread KC but I wanted to add my support for your expanding your repertoire. I think this is a dramatic look and very attractive on you. Do not be faint hearted! Go read some Shakespeare and load your inner dialogue with some rousing words. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-self-conscious#post-1220301 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 02:39:46 +0000 kellygirl 1220301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit.

Seriously, this is a great combo. Stripes are easy to pair with other prints and in this case, together with the grounding black, the colours work beautifully together and with your hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-self-conscious#post-1220276 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 02:13:55 +0000 Aida 1220276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The whole thing looks fab, no need to worry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-self-conscious#post-1220220 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 01:28:04 +0000 columbine(erin) 1220220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pattern mixing looks great to me!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-self-conscious#post-1220134 Fri, 11 Apr 2014 00:15:44 +0000 Day Vies 1220134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes are FABULOUS!&nbsp; I think if you only focus on the stripes with the leopard it seems awkward and out of context. When you zoom out in pic #2 it all comes together and looks very chic and pulled together. I think you're focusing too much up top (that's where bathroom mirrors stop generally) -- it's definitely a bold combination that needs to be observed and looks best when balanced by the solid black in your pants. No need to be self-conscious this is a pattern mix that works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-self-conscious#post-1220038 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 23:03:47 +0000 Isabel 1220038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG , you look fantastic.

I tend to think that tonal pattern mixing looks more intentional however your outfit isn't "jarring" in any way. It's interesting and fashion forward. Your colleagues may not "get it" but don't worry you look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-feeling-self-conscious#post-1219888 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 21:01:14 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1219888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is super cute!

I was going to wear this with black boot cut jeans - but since I lost weight they're too big - replaced them with slim cut straights. I'm wearing my new pointy toe wedges from Trenery.<br /> Feeling self conscious about the patterns and usually when I wear these pants I wear a longer top - hope these pants are flattering enough cos I can easily remove the jacket but I'll get odd looks if I take my pants off LOL.<br /> I'm currently sitting at work jacket less.<br /> Noticed the lining if my bag matches my shirt. </p>
