The boots work really well here. Not too big/heavy for the sweater and jeans (which is something I always worry about). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-814271 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:33:12 +0000 Thistle 814271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit on you. I like the light colored pants with the dark boots. I like the blue ofthe cardi, so pretty on you.</p> <p>I think the boots are UWP, but as they are styled, I don't think it takes away from the rest of the look. I think the rest of the look softens the boots, so to speak. Granted, sleek riding boots would also go, but then it would give off a different vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-814266 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 18:29:22 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 814266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit on you. One of the things I like about it is the tough-looking many-buckled boots with the classic Missoni patterned cardigan. To me it's fresh, and it looks like you. The layering tee ties things together very well, in my view. It looks like a diffuse print, so, like the boots, it's less refined looking, and yet it goes beautifully with the sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813981 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:08:20 +0000 Sara L. 813981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfit and don't see a problem with juxtaposing the boots and the sweater. The long length of the sweater doesn't read particularly classic to me though. I think the black boots look good and the black belt helps make them look purposeful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813955 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:46:47 +0000 Diana 813955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm honored to have inspired you! I actually LOVE the juxtaposition of the cardi with the boots. But I wonder if it comes off as more AE and less UWP. So the juxtaposition thing is a huge part of AE style, at least in my interpretation, and is one of the things I love most about it. And as Angie said, although I have UWP elements in my style I am not a UWP. </p> <p>My feeling about juxtaposition is that it has to look intentional. Thrown together, but not getting dressed in the dark. =P This looks intentional to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813942 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:38:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 813942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Manidipa, the first thing I noticed was that the cardigan has stripes of a sort. Love that colour of blue on you and I do like the pairing with the lighter jeans.</p> <p>I'm also interested in Denise's point because I am one who really likes juxtaposition in an outfit but wonder where it stops being well done and starts to not work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813871 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 13:16:48 +0000 Anonymous 813871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the juxtaposition between the classic cut of the cardi and the tough belt and boots. The cardigan just looks like many styles of over-robes, so I think it still works in the UWP aesthetic.</p> <p>The light jeans are a nice twist also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813847 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 12:10:29 +0000 Jaime 813847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first thing I noticed was the light jeans with boots - I have been doing that a lot lately and I love validation! I like the colors of the cardigan and Missoni chevron does not read classic to me, although I see Denise's point. I have to think about whether there is a disconnect but it is definitely not something I noticed right off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813841 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 11:48:04 +0000 Karie 813841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I hope you do an "ask Angie" on this as I'm so curious about what her answer will be. On the one hand, I really like your look here, on the other hand, Denise has a good point...when it comes to mixing styles, is it about degrees? </p> <p>Thinking about color, texture, and now style mixing - 2/3 of this, 1/3 of that, a hint of this &amp; a pinch of that - all while trying to get dressed and out the door in the wee hours of the a.m. - oh my! I might just end up going to work in my pj's!</p> <p>It all sounds like a recipe, but isn't that what an "ensemble" or "outfit" is - a recipe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813839 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 11:35:29 +0000 catherine 813839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll definitely leave the analysis to those more stylish and wiser, but I will say that this outfit is VERY flattering on you and has a lot of interest to me. The blue-black combination looks perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813801 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 08:35:11 +0000 ManidipaM 813801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, look, Una's wearing stripes! And liking it! (yes, I see this sort of continuous chevron as an unbroken stripe, and I was just suggesting Missoni on your other thread)</p> <p>Love these colours and the pattern mix. I'd readily pair blue and black too. And Rae's reminding me I really need to get over my aversion to black footwear (for myself, I keep wondering if the contrast with my leg is stumpifying) so I can bookend better... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813783 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 07:31:01 +0000 catgirl 813783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have got to go to bed, but I came back to say - please always be honest! I trust your judgment and think you have raised an interesting point. I may do an "Ask Angie"... Thanks for your comments, seriously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813781 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 07:29:18 +0000 CocoLion 813781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una maybe this is a question for Angie.</p> <p>To me it's degrees. You can mix different elements to put a hint of this or that. And some juxtaposition actually makes outfits more interesting. I guess it was the refined nature of the cardi as well as the classic Missoni weave that was fighting with the tough boots. Just to me. I hope it is OK to be so frank, because I really like the colors and proportions here -- white blue and black and the tucked pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813777 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 07:21:55 +0000 catgirl 813777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, I actually spend most of my time trying to be UWP despite my work constraints. Interesting about the boots - is there a disconnect in mixing styles, I wonder? I always assumed you could inject an element of another style to remain true to yourself, just as Natalie adds a bit of UWP with studded bracelets but still retains her bombshell looks. </p> <p>Must ponder outfit integrity - is it like seasonal confusion or something else? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813772 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 07:13:10 +0000 CocoLion 813772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all of the colors and proportions work here but the cardi is more modern classic than UWP, so the boots, which are super UWP, are a disconnect for me. I'd go with a sleek bootie or even pump with this one.</p> <p>Una do you ever feel like cheating on the UWP and stepping into another style persona? Oh yeah I suppose in your work life you have to have do that. And I guess the UWP is ok with that otherwise she would have already kicked your butt.</p> <p>Enlightened UWP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813759 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 06:42:36 +0000 deb 813759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The black looks very good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813732 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 05:23:09 +0000 christieanne 813732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Works from my point of view! I like the light color jeans as a change from darker blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813691 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 04:23:00 +0000 rae 813691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loooove black with blue. And I think this is where hair-bookending shoes come in so handy, since they don't necessarily have to match your clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-ceit-and-diana#post-813679 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 04:11:32 +0000 catgirl 813679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was inspired by Diana's gorgeous knit tunic to pull out this Missoni for Target cardi. What footwear does one wear with blue? Does black work here? Anyway, the silhouette, although a familiar one for me, is re-inspired by Ceit's recent looks with stompy boots and skinnies and cardis. </p> <p>Feedback welcome! </p>
