I agree the look is 'soft' and very feminine. The lilac top is pretty but a little different to what I imagine for you. The straight leg jeans and pointy boots create a beautiful long and slender leg line. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-lilac-and-black#post-1142812 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 07:28:26 +0000 CocoLion 1142812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love you in black, it doesn't wash you out, it enhances your beauty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-lilac-and-black#post-1142470 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 00:35:06 +0000 Anonymous 1142470@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this outfit on you.

Lovely muted palette. Loving the pointy toes with the straight legs. So yum.&nbsp;And wooooohoooo. No skinnies for 5 days. Well done. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-lilac-and-black#post-1142312 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 22:34:01 +0000 MuseumGal 1142312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you look sloppy at all!&nbsp; Great colors on you.&nbsp; I wonder if the combination of necklace, embelleshed top, and somewhat busy jacket are combining to somehow make you feel less than your usual sharp self. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-lilac-and-black#post-1142184 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 21:01:06 +0000 Thistle 1142184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely, and I really like those jeans with the boots. Lilac is a great color for you. Perhaps a bit more will find its way into your closet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-lilac-and-black#post-1142178 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 20:59:01 +0000 E 1142178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour combination far too much to pay attention to anything else! But I didn't get a sloppy impression. It's interesting to read your own analysis though, because if you felt less than great, at least you have ideas to tweak in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-lilac-and-black#post-1142026 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 19:21:55 +0000 AviaMariah 1142026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and I am inspired by you and and Angie to wear my few purple pieces and maybe even add a few more. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-lilac-and-black#post-1142014 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 19:10:59 +0000 Debra 1142014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, I love the jeans and boots and I think you look soft rather than sloppy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-lilac-and-black#post-1142002 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 19:06:19 +0000 Suz 1142002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the booties with the pants, and you look great in this colour combination. To my eye you don't look sloppy in the least. I wonder if it's more a textural (feel) thing than a visual thing. Sometimes if I have two "soft" toppers I get that feeling (i.e. sweater and knit top) whereas if one were more structured (even a heavier knit than a tee) I might not feel the same.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-lilac-and-black#post-1141952 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:42:23 +0000 Anonymous 1141952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I certainly don't think you look at all sloppy even if that's how you felt. I really like this combo! Your jeans fit great and I think the colour of your&nbsp; top suits you so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-grey-lilac-and-black#post-1141948 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:40:08 +0000 Anonymous 1141948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great, Diana.
