I never thought I'd learn so much from posting just simple outfits like this. </p> <p>I really love some of Isabel Marants looks, but I've never figured out how to apply them to me. Or rather, absorbe the look in a way that it reflects me (not just a "copy-paste")</p> <p>Labelling (like boho) is also liberating because when I know what I do, I can bend and play with rules and styles. </p> <p>I was actually wondering whether to keep the blouse or not. After posting the photos, I just remembered all the nice comments I always get when I wear it. So, I'll keep it for sure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-573131 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:53:16 +0000 Angie 573131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought Isabel Marant just like Anna did! Outfit #5 is fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-573098 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 22:11:53 +0000 CocoLion 573098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your first WIW! I love the way this outfit looks with just the jeans, top and boots. I also like the way you have the pants tucked unevenly, as in picture #2 and 3. Since there is a lot going on (=ALGO around here), I think this works great without the distraction of sweaters and jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-573031 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 21:03:29 +0000 Kirti 573031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all these looks especially the boho style blouse and patchwork jeans </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572996 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 20:14:01 +0000 annagybe 572996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually your look reminds me of some Isabel Marant stuff. I should try my boho blouse with my patchwork jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572990 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 20:10:04 +0000 Meredith1953 572990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that blouse on you in the first pic! All of the looks have interesting texture and detail and you definitely have a boho vibe going! Way to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572689 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:23:34 +0000 Sarah A 572689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Swedish top is beautiful! Great first WIW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572671 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:10:41 +0000 texstyle 572671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Swedish top and esp. as in #2 and #5. Not sure if you need to tuck the jeans but I could see this same outfit with sandals in warmer weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572604 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 14:11:10 +0000 harmonica 572604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ginni: Thank you for complimenting the long cardi, but honestly I doubt you would if you could see it up close But I love it as house wear!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572601 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 14:08:59 +0000 harmonica 572601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MNsara: You saw what I forgot to mention with the black ancle boots I tried one with long pant lengt and one with pant tucked inside ankle boot. I think maybe the tucked one makes my legs a bit shorter, which I really don't want! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572593 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:58:37 +0000 rachylou 572593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woo hoo! First pic post! I adore your Swedish top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572585 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:52:07 +0000 MNsara 572585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay - first WIW!! Love the boho vibe in your embroidered blouse and patched jeans :-)</p> <p>If I am picking a fave, I think pic #5 but I'd love to see it also with the boots from #3 (and I might prefer the longer pant length in #3 too).</p> <p>It looks great without the jacket too - to let the shirt be the star. The sweater looks nice and cozy for working from home too ;-)</p> <p>Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572573 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:45:42 +0000 harmonica 572573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bj111: thank you! the necklace is from H&amp;M and I like it as an everyday jewellery </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572564 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:42:01 +0000 Ana 572564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I really love your patched jeans!

I'm so greatful and learning little by little all the time at this forum. </p> <p>@Transcona Shannon: Aha! I created a boho vibe! I have been wondering how to create that style (with Kate Moss in my mind), but not getting how to do it. Thank you for enlightening me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572555 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:34:51 +0000 modgrl 572555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how you have it in 2, just let the springy blouse and cool jeans shine </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572553 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:32:11 +0000 Ginny 572553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your first WIW, cute and springy, like the first blouse, I like the long cardi too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572538 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:19:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 572538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on your first WIW post!

SO beautiful! In fact, I like all the gorgeous textures in your outfit, as Suz points out, and I also like your very sun-washed ice-tinged colour palette.</p> <p>You look great! I wish I looked half as pulled together in my at-home winterwear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572493 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 11:58:56 +0000 Suz 572493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And you look super spring like! Congratulations on posting your first WIW! I have found it super helpful. Lots of textural interest in this outfit! The blouse is so pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572484 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 11:34:23 +0000 harmonica 572484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All autumn and winter I've been wearing skirts and dresses, so this is a change from my "normal" way of dressing. Though, as I recall, I used to live in jeans until a few years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-time-patched-light-jeans-swedish-top#post-572483 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 11:32:01 +0000 harmonica 572483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First time posting WiW...</p> <p>I'm working from home today and need some spring feel, though snow covered ground outside. I also wanted to find some items I havn't worn in a time + finding new combination (thats what's called remixing?). </p> <p>I havn't worn the top or the jeans in a years time and never combined it with these jeans, but I got inspired by Angies post on white jeans. <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/09/casual-white-jeans-on-a-sunny-spring-day/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2012/03/.....pring-day/</a> These are not white (which I don't think I will be able to wear because of getting stains after 15 mins), but light coloured. </p> <p>I tried on a blazer too to make a more "formal" look which I could wear when meeting friends at a cafe or working at the office (no lecture, just me in my office).</p> <p>I also tried to pair the jeans with a vintage silk blouse, though I think that combo was better imagined than in RL because of tummy issues</p> <p>- Patched light jeans from cheap monday (I love cheap monday jeans, but these may not be the best fit because I find the waist rise a bit too low and the stretch not firm enough, hence creating a muffin top after a while. Though I like the roughness and slightly feel of the 1980's the pathes creates)</p> <p>- Top/blouse from second hand store ( I like the swedish feel of the embroidery) </p> <p>- Chunky cardigan (for home wear only! Cosy, chunky and warm, with nibbs I think it's called)</p> <p>- caramel ancle boots from NYC (they make my day because of good memories) </p> <p>- shinyish blue blazer from epilogue (norwegian brand)</p> <p>- mens watch (found in the street under some snow years ago)</p> <p>- white (or cream?) silk blouse (hand me down from my stylish grandmother bought some time in the 1980's) </p> <p>Any comments and tips are welcome!!! Pease feel free to be brutally frank, otherwise I can't learn </p>
