I actually might like it even better without the jacket, since it really puts the focus on the shape of the top and skirt, but it's great either way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1192007 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 01:03:56 +0000 Suz 1192007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - #1 is stunning, Diana!!

Would be great to link to that post - but I think it's too late. Next time. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191908 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 22:46:09 +0000 Marmee 1191908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits. &nbsp;The floral is fab&nbsp;on you, and your ffbo is amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191848 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 20:25:13 +0000 unfrumped 1191848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too, and think the tulip skirt has some structure itself, it appears, in the fabrication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191821 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 19:17:02 +0000 Dee 1191821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The pink in the first outfit is lovely on you, and I agree that the jacket makes the look. And outfit two is very flattering too. I love the way you work your handknits into your everyday looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191816 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 19:06:56 +0000 annagybe 1191816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore #1 on you. I love the mix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191796 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 18:30:55 +0000 pil 1191796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that the tulip skirt works better here with the jacket. Nice! You really have an eye for silhouettes. And there you are in another one of your gorgeous creations. May I put in a request that you wear one for the meetup so we can see your handiwork in person? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191784 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 18:17:34 +0000 Anonymous 1191784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of these look super, Diana! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191771 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 17:54:02 +0000 Sarah A 1191771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 with the floral moto... Just enough structure. Completely agree and really nice with the light boots. You FFBO is as good as it gets! The stitch detail on the handknit is really sensational. Two amazing outfits and your smile shows how happy you are wearing them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191762 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 17:32:39 +0000 Sara L. 1191762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #1 and agree that the jacket is necessary to make the boots seem intentional. &nbsp;#2 is great as well, and I must have missed your previous post because I don't remember it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191721 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:48:29 +0000 lyn67 1191721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are very 2014, and PERFECT! I'm &nbsp;always amazed of your knitting skills, Diana, and nr 1 is really just enough structure I would have never guesss will work, if not seen on your lovely person, here. Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191696 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:28:55 +0000 Catnip 1191696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these outfits and agree that #2&nbsp;needs a jacket.&nbsp; Good job balancing the proportions.&nbsp; You look great!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191695 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:28:36 +0000 kellygirl 1191695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of these are divine. I especially love the nod to spring of the floral jacket. Super duper fab on you, Diana! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191693 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:28:05 +0000 celia 1191693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no expert but I really like the fluid layers of #1.<br />The FFBO is a very good one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-juxtaposition-and-just-enough-structure-plus-bonus-ffbo#post-1191688 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:24:14 +0000 Diana 1191688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's finally warm enough to wear a skirt with tights.&nbsp; I've had this tulip skirt for ages but haven't worn it since last spring.&nbsp; In the past I have usually worn this skirt with either a fitted tucked-in top or a tailored shorter sweater.&nbsp; To change it up a bit, I decided to add some 2014 touches to it today.&nbsp; I'm doing "just enough structure" with a big drapey top.&nbsp; The semi-tucked waist and slightly sheer tights provide a bit of structure to ground the look.&nbsp; I'm also juxtaposing the casual knit moto and slouchy boots with the dressier sheen of the satin skirt and silk top.&nbsp; What do you think?&nbsp; I am not sure I like the version sans moto, but it's too cold to be wearing it that way anyway. I think it needs the lighter topper to finish the look and bookend the light boots.&nbsp; I'd probably wear dark boots if I did not have the moto.</p> <p>Last photo is an FFBO that I wore yesterday.&nbsp; I think you've probably seen this exact combo before but I really like it so I took another picture.&nbsp; </p> <p>1-2: Anthro moto, Michael Stars top, Gap skirt, Remonte Dorndorf boots.<br />3: Nanette Lepore jacket, handknit tunic, Vince skinnies, Naot boots </p>
