It will look super with those black (or is it blue) and white Fluevogs of yours, too. Plus anything light up top. I like look #1 the best!</p> <p>Oh, and by the way, your legs look super long here!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-attempt-at-styling-light-tote-bag-una-look-away#post-758049 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 09:58:51 +0000 lyn67 758049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this tote, and I'm in fact looking for a similar one...(in the EU:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-attempt-at-styling-light-tote-bag-una-look-away#post-757801 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 00:02:43 +0000 Aida 757801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the gloom (I'm up by Seattle, so I feel your pain sister!). Re imagining with the nude booties! #2 works especially nicely in this case, and your idea of a printed cardigan with a light color could also work. So I think the nude booties alone are enough to balance the bag, and any extra lightness is a bonus! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-attempt-at-styling-light-tote-bag-una-look-away#post-757798 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 23:57:21 +0000 K. Period. 757798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, you have a great memory! I was looking at taupe booties, but I wound up keeping the nude booties (below). Even closer to my skin and hair color. Believe it or not, they are the booties I'm wearing here! That's the joy of taking a picture inside on a gloomy Portland day. Even when you are right next to a window, all lights on, you are still in the dark. So I love your suggestion. Plus I'm wearing a light gold and rutilated quartz look pyramid bracelet that isn't showing up in the picture. (<a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/p/stone-pyramid-toggle-bracelet.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.anntaylor.com/p/sto.....elet.shtml</a>) So done and done! Yeah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-attempt-at-styling-light-tote-bag-una-look-away#post-757778 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 23:23:44 +0000 Aida 757778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't get to comment on yesterday's thread but I MUCH prefer the lighter tote! Now, didn't you just get some taupe booties? Wear those instead! Instant extra light element + blonde/purse bookending Or a scarf that has some white/stone/taupe in it. Or some light colored jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-attempt-at-styling-light-tote-bag-una-look-away#post-757680 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:45:59 +0000 missvee 757680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think 1,2, and 3 are all really nice looks. 4 is fine too, just more functional than creative. The bag is great - good for you deciding to keep both. The blue one wouldn't have worked nearly as well with this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-attempt-at-styling-light-tote-bag-una-look-away#post-757632 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:14:22 +0000 Caro in Oz 757632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-attempt-at-styling-light-tote-bag-una-look-away#post-757626 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:10:33 +0000 K. Period. 757626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, JulieJohn! It is a Foley + Corrina jet set tote. I got it on a special discounts on top of discounts promo from Last Call. They're back to the normal price now, sadly. : / It is nice leather with nice, quality finishing. It arrived a little smunched from being packed badly, but the leather is relaxing back into its intended shape now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-attempt-at-styling-light-tote-bag-una-look-away#post-757614 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 20:55:33 +0000 JulieJohn 757614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a neat tote, and it looks cute in all the looks. What kinda tote is it? Digging it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-attempt-at-styling-light-tote-bag-una-look-away#post-757607 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 20:46:31 +0000 Kirti 757607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great tote!

Period. 757543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Modgrl and Una! Una, I especially appreciate your willingness to be open-minded. </p> <p>My first attempts here are pretty predictable. Hopefully I'll figure out something more inspired for the future! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-attempt-at-styling-light-tote-bag-una-look-away#post-757536 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:25:05 +0000 catgirl 757536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHA! It looks great. Your comment about not being blonde was an eye-opener. I need to remind myself that not everyone is ME. :&gt;) For YOU, this is fantabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-attempt-at-styling-light-tote-bag-una-look-away#post-757534 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:23:42 +0000 modgrl 757534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!! great tote bag!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-attempt-at-styling-light-tote-bag-una-look-away#post-757522 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:12:42 +0000 K. Period. 757522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In yesterday's K/R, or a Tale of Two Totes as I call it, Angie said she preferred the lighter tote. Several expressed a poison eye for light or white totes, so look away now if that describes you! </p> <p>I am firmly in the "wear now" camp whenever possible. With white and winter white showing up more and more, I thought I would take a crack at styling my tote. So, this is my first attempt. I think it is okay, but I think that's the best that can be said. Definitely room for improvement. Of the looks, the first looked best to me. I think the second, with a light silk scarf, is okay, but needs more substance and I think the scarf is too tight around my neck. I think the third, with the tone on tone, needs a lighter color to tie in. Fourth looks just plain unfinished. </p> <p>What are your impressions? Do you think that that pretty accurately summarizes it? </p> <p>I'll try this with lighter jeans next, then with a lighter top. Inspired by Kirti's post, maybe my snow leopard cardi.... Any other ideas? </p>
