Big yay for Team Dark Romance in all versions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340255 Mon, 02 Oct 2023 23:10:41 +0000 SarahD8 2340255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, always!</p> <p>Helena, thanks! The socks are pretty great...I am wearing a different colorway today in fact. (The downside is they are not super durable...these are my second pairs of each, although the first iterations are hanging out in my mending basket to see if I can reinforce the bottoms of the feet at some point.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340245 Mon, 02 Oct 2023 21:15:24 +0000 Helena 2340245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this ... I think you've nailed casual dark romance. The socks are perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340236 Mon, 02 Oct 2023 20:05:54 +0000 Angie 2340236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dutch florals FTW :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340230 Mon, 02 Oct 2023 19:45:28 +0000 SarahD8 2340230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Jules</b> and <b>RobinF</b>!</p> <p><b>Star</b> hmm, another vote for 90s grunge. You know, despite coming of age in that time I feel next to no affinity for that fashion era. Maybe I should rethink! (In my head, that looser top layered over a tight black tee formula is "70s art teacher," which is virtually the only 70s look I'm interested in for myself, but one that I really like a lot!)</p> <p><b>Angie</b> why thank you! If the crown fits, as they say...I shall wear it proudly. YES, agree on the length of the top issue. I am always amazed by the people who can mix proportions so creatively. In my own closet I find that with few exceptions there are Tops for Skirts and Tops for Pants and they don't really cross over. And I do have a sugar eye for those painting-effect prints! I call them (another peek into my weird brain here) Dutch florals, for reasons you can probably imagine!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340161 Mon, 02 Oct 2023 12:22:22 +0000 RobinF 2340161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit! The socks are so fun with loafers! Too bad the top didn't layer well but it looks good with the long sleeves underneath too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340116 Sun, 01 Oct 2023 18:38:59 +0000 Angie 2340116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hereby crown you Queen Fair Isle :)</p> <p>Those socks made me smile, and look fab with the loafers, <b>SarahD8</b>!</p> <p>The top looks like a painting! It works well with the skirt because it's short.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340103 Sun, 01 Oct 2023 16:02:53 +0000 Jules 2340103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340090 Sun, 01 Oct 2023 08:56:24 +0000 Star (Lise) 2340090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It works great with the piece under.&nbsp; This is something I do fairly regularly with tops that are a bit on the short side.&nbsp; I kind of like the 90s 'grungy' layered look IYKWIM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340076 Sun, 01 Oct 2023 02:06:29 +0000 SarahD8 2340076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks kellygirl and kkards and Jaime! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340071 Sun, 01 Oct 2023 00:24:21 +0000 Jaime 2340071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit (and closet shopping)! I agree that a longer shirt underneath might make this more wearable for you. The look is excellent! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340045 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 18:28:04 +0000 kkards 2340045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for being able to layer under and giving new life to a piece </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340043 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 18:15:32 +0000 kellygirl 2340043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dark floral in both iterations. What a fun top--pairs so well with the cuffed jeans and cute loafers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340041 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 17:41:36 +0000 SarahD8 2340041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie and Catherine, thanks!<br /> Kkards, wow! I'm blown away! Thanks so much -- I'm so pleased this outfit hits the mark.</p> <p>Did a quick try-on of layering a heattech top under the sweater, see below. I think it works! I'm really excited about this -- I originally bought this top for my warm weather work capsule so it doesn't get a ton of wear. I really like the print though, so I would be thrilled to be able to wear it more. Thanks so much for the great suggestions, all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340035 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 15:37:13 +0000 Bonnie 2340035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have done a great job making the trends work for you and your outfits look fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340033 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 15:07:13 +0000 kkards 2340033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF! &nbsp; This maybe my favorite of anything i remember you posting. &nbsp;Love the relaxed vibe of the jeans, the sweater is dark but fab, and the socks —-wow, it’s a master class in socks&nbsp;</p> <p>re the sweater -another vote for trying to layer under instead of over. Would it work with a white button down? Or just a long sleeve tee that picks up on the colors in the floral, or even just a black tee ? Both of these would also lean heavily into the 70s trend&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340029 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 14:37:33 +0000 catherine 2340029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your outfit a lot. It is loose but still fitted. The shoes and socks together are amazing. Thanks for posting this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340024 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 13:32:16 +0000 SarahD8 2340024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for the supportive comments! Good idea about layering underneath the top. I have an extra-warm heattech that I wear under another short-sleeve sweater (it’s roomier — white with a pointelle yoke). Worth seeing If that will work with this piece too! </p> <p>Suz oh yeah, you are right, browns — the trend I just said I was going to skip. That has got to be some speed record for the “no thanks” to “never say never” journey, huh? Also very much agree that your tulle skirt qualifies as dark romance!</p> <p>JenniNZ agree that darker bottoms would place the overall look more firmly in dark romance. I could try this with skirt leggings, but otherwise all my dark pants are skinnies, and I don’t think I would pair this top with skinnies, even with a long topper over.</p> <p>LaPed I don’t normally think of myself as a 90s gal but when in Seattle, eh? ;-)</p> <p>And thanks again Roberta, Zaeobi, slim cat, Indigoprint, Irina, Janet, Brooklyn, and ChristelJ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340022 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 13:16:59 +0000 LaPed 2340022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This feels like a perfect modern tribute to 90s/grunge — love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340021 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 12:34:54 +0000 ChristelJ 2340021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your casual dark academia look is fab!

And I echo the above remarks about trying the top layered over another top.</p> <p>Love the socks too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340013 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 11:22:24 +0000 Janet 2340013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this a lot! Maybe I’m a fan of dark romance because I do love a moody floral. I’d try layering the top over a thin black long-sleeved tee — I do that a lot to extend the wear of some tops into cooler weather. Uniqlo layering tops are great for this. I’m also loving the roomy jeans, fun socks, and loafers. I’ve given up on loafers because every pair I’ve tried falls off my heels, so I enjoy them on others. I also like the pattern mixing here because the two patterns are separated by the jeans (I’m not a high tolerance pattern mixer). Great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340008 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 07:07:12 +0000 Jenni NZ 2340008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the top, jacket, socks and shoes. You probably know I’m not much of a jeans fan so to me it calls for darker pants- black or charcoal/pewter- then it would definitely be dark romance to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340007 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 07:02:44 +0000 Irina 2340007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the top - very much dark romance! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340004 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 03:32:16 +0000 Indigoprint 2340004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like it a lot.<br /> Worth repeating </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340003 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 03:25:19 +0000 slim cat 2340003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty! I love the printed socks/shoes/jeans with slouch look - fun top as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2340001 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 03:21:29 +0000 Zaeobi 2340001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your casual take - you don't have to go full-on Goth to get Dark Romance! </p> <p>I know what you mean about the top length - I have a cropped cream sweatshirt that I like to wear with a slimmer, tanned brown top underneath, so perhaps you could do something similar? </p> <p>If you still want to wear this top in colder weather, would a tight, red, long sleeved top layered *underneath* work? That way the sleeves become a feature, not a bug </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jumping-on-the-trends-from-my-closet-trend#post-2339999 Sat, 30 Sep 2023 03:07:17 +0000 Roberta 2339999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love this look - my Platonic ideal of a cool weather outfit. I understand the annoyance factor of dolman or batwing sleeves as a layering piece, but it all works for me. I'm sad that I do not own Fair Isle socks. </p>
