You have a lot of what might have been horizontal lines (ie, neckline, jacket, tunic, shoes), and had they all been high-contrast lines I think I might have felt like you chopped up your lovely figure needlessly. Low-contrast works better here -- to my eye, at least.</p> <p>I love ombre too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-layers-2#post-847407 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 03:42:47 +0000 amiable 847407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you also Kate! I feel like something clicked - perhaps it was having RATE clarified for me, perhaps something else, I'm not entirely sure...</p> <p>But it makes this whole process even more fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-layers-2#post-847404 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 03:31:32 +0000 amiable 847404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks All!</p> <p>Tanya, it does have a tiny bit of white in it - but it's barely visible, even from close. I have one with a bit more white in my "alter" bin - I'll get to that soon, and try this combo again.</p> <p>Thank you Angie - that's exactly the look I was going for :)</p> <p>And thank you also Rae - Plaid and ombre are two of my very favorite things. Until now, I've never had an ombre article of clothing (they seem to still be too new to be in thrift stores much), and this sweater is definitely my current favorite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-layers-2#post-847403 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 03:29:52 +0000 Anonymous 847403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both of these look great! You are really coming up with good combos lately! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-layers-2#post-847399 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 03:27:10 +0000 rae 847399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both! Yay, plaid and ombre! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-layers-2#post-847387 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 03:17:18 +0000 Angie 847387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look RATE GREAT in both of these outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-layers-2#post-847250 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:37:14 +0000 Tanya 847250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool outfits, they look great as they are! You have an adorable smile. If you want to tweak, I think #1 would work even better if the plaid shirt had a bit more white in it (does it have any?) I think your instinct is right about #2, a jacket in different color (white, black) would help break up all the blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-layers-2#post-847243 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 00:28:34 +0000 amiable 847243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still trying to keep up with the FABruary challenges at InsideOutStyle:<br /> <a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2013/02/layering-fabruary-style-challenge.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......lenge.html</a></p> <p>Today is layers. </p> <p>Since I pretty much live in layers during the winter, I decided to try layering a little more extreme. So I layered stripes over plaid. (#1) I liked it, but then I remembered that I'd be seeing my mother this afternoon, and she would be horrified by such a combination. </p> <p>So I changed into something calmer, and wore my new-to-me ombre sweater with skinny jeans (and a layered jean jacket, #2) for the afternoon. I tried to up the sass a little with my oxfords (with socks - I was too much of a wimp to go out without them).</p> <p>Then it turned out that I didn't see my mother after all. Oh well.</p> <p>Suggestions for improvement? Do these work? I think #2 would work better without the jacket, probably. But then it wouldn't be layers.... </p>
