It is perfect in my book. Comfortable, attractive, and warm.&nbsp;I have a poison eye for plaid, really poison, so it is hard for me to comment objectively. I always like you in winter white out, so of course&nbsp;I like #3! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae-and-copycats#post-1131656 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 17:48:19 +0000 Anonymous 1131656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love #1 and #3.

It looks kind of bulky or big. Can you roll the cuffs on the jeans (they look frayed or being hemmed?) then it would look more like the inspiration. (Although I know weather isn't conducive to that look at the moment!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-formulae-and-copycats#post-1131544 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:10:03 +0000 amiable 1131544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a few WIWs from the last few days. &nbsp;Nothing very special.</p> <p>#1 - sorry for the dark pic. &nbsp;It's a burgundy brocade sweatshirt with black skinny jeans and tall eyelet boots. &nbsp;I added a nice black cuff that was a Christmas gift. (better pic in #5)&nbsp;&nbsp;It's 3D printed plastic (so the geek factor is high, which makes it very cool to me).</p> <p>#2 is an attempted copycat from Beth at Seersucker and saddles (inspiration pic #4). &nbsp;I wish I'd worn higher contrast shoes.</p> <p>#3 is a semi-white-out formula. &nbsp;A new-to-me white tee with a few sequins that I'm not sure whether it'll earn it's keep, white jeans and a blue jean jacket, because I felt like wearing white with navy today.</p> <p>Suggestions for improvement? </p>
