You look great in them. As to other possibilities, I wonder about a high-waisted drapey trouser, with heels? Black would work. You could try it over a skirt, a la Angie's <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2015/02/20/ensemble-denim-jacket-burberry-style/" rel="nofollow">Burberry outfit idea </a>(just with the addition of a velvet blazer!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1461157 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 03:41:52 +0000 christy 1461157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, love.

The heels in the second look are amazing!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1461155 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 03:39:39 +0000 annagybe 1461155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the second look</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1461154 Sun, 22 Mar 2015 03:36:03 +0000 tulle 1461154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rabbit, I LOVE your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1461027 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 21:13:03 +0000 approprio 1461027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fantastic. I want to know more about that velvet jacket.&nbsp;</p> <p>I don't think I'd want another colour with this. The strength of this outfit for me&nbsp;is all about the&nbsp;combination of textures in the&nbsp;tonal blue. Anything else would distract. I might try man-tailored pants but I'm not sure they'd work.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1461011 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 20:09:45 +0000 merwoman 1461011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - beautiful rendition - and it comes together so magically on you!!

I love both versions. The velvet jacket with denim under it is so unexpected. Taking a cue from your inspiration photo, how about trying this with olive pants as in the man's hat? Of course , there's always black pants or grey, and how about leather? I like the slim look on the bottom that you have done here.silky track pants? That might be too much going on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1460830 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 13:46:54 +0000 Beth Ann 1460830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful idea!&nbsp; Love both takes, but I'm partial to the plaid bottoms.&nbsp; I could see this working with olive bottoms or soft grey, as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1460772 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 05:59:16 +0000 CocoLion 1460772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very fashionable, someone needs to capture you on a street style blog.</p> <p>Also I am inspired to try to layer some of my denim jackets now, great idea. &nbsp;(If I can button them up like that!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1459893 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 22:22:49 +0000 trekkiegirl 1459893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both really cool.

(Obviously!) I really love the luxurious feel of the velvet jacket against the more rugged denim and plaid. The inspiration pic is TDF too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1459348 Thu, 19 Mar 2015 03:29:55 +0000 Jaime 1459348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rabbit I adore every outfit you post. You are so creative and interesting. Love the velvet over denim and I also have an old favorite velvet jacket, hmm. I also love your cross body bag. Perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1459121 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 20:50:51 +0000 Summer 1459121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous outfits, rabbit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1459118 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 20:41:44 +0000 rachylou 1459118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty darn fabulous.

Just love the rich textural play and the moody tones on you. The dressy version is especially spectacular. It would work with a dressy track pant, too, I think.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1459034 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 18:56:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1459034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG!!!

Gorgeous, wearable and interesting.&nbsp;</p> <p>Velvet is very '70s actually. And a sliver of mid-riff skin is fab - if you don't mind the draught.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-inspired-by-menswear-also-picasso-challenge#post-1459006 Wed, 18 Mar 2015 18:25:47 +0000 rabbit 1459006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had this street style&nbsp;image from the Satorialist pinned for awhile because I really liked the denim jacket under the velvet blazer. &nbsp; I have an old favorite velvet blazer and I thought I'd try it out. It was quite comfy, the denim jacket is pretty&nbsp;soft and close fitting.</p> <p>First version I wore was with boots and a higher rise plaid&nbsp;jean on a cooler day.</p> <p>Second version with the heels&nbsp;reminds me of the 'young girl reading a book on the beach' &nbsp;painting with the soft gray blue denim forms. &nbsp; The jeans are a slightly lower rise so I was leery about skin flashing at the waist&nbsp;(belts were distracting to my eye&nbsp;and camisoles looked odd), but it was actually fine, just a tiny slice showed from time to time above the navel. More skin probably flashed in the back but the blazer had me covered.</p> <p>Feedback welcome. &nbsp;I also thought about trying different bottoms, what colors and cuts might work?&nbsp;</p>
