I think that how you feel in an outfit, however, is the most important. If you feel great, you will look great, because your confidence will shine through. MaryJanes are classic, and there is nothing wrong with them, but maybe another choice would have given more edge to this ensemble. The Mary Janes are possibly a bit safe, and not as creative looking as the other choices that have been mentioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maybe-felt-better-than-it-looked#post-1369055 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 10:17:22 +0000 Anonymous 1369055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Columbine said what I was thinking. I just love all your own made pieces and all I feel is that a more modern shoe could up the quotient in&nbsp; your skirt outfit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maybe-felt-better-than-it-looked#post-1369047 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 09:22:20 +0000 Deb 1369047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the cardigan and jeans together....that cardigan really catches my eye and the blues and browns work well together. Not as sure about the other look....maybe you need to play around with your footwear options? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maybe-felt-better-than-it-looked#post-1369017 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 06:17:28 +0000 Cerinda 1369017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>or maybe play around with the rolled jeans hem? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maybe-felt-better-than-it-looked#post-1368988 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 03:56:41 +0000 columbine(erin) 1368988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Proportionally these outfits do look good to my eye, but I relate to having outfits feel better than they look or photograph. I do wonder if a pointy toe shoe or more trendy oxford would have felt better for with the skirt outfit. I admire all your handmade pieces! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maybe-felt-better-than-it-looked#post-1368981 Sat, 04 Oct 2014 03:32:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1368981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday's and today's outfits were pretty fun outfits to wear. I felt especially good in the jeans outfit--very high happiness factor in that one. Looking at the photos, though, I can say both outfits felt a lot better than I think they looked. Not to say they looked bad, it's just that the looks don't match how they made me feel. <br />Does that ever happen to you?</p> <p>The outfits:<br />1-2 (worn for a day off): blue and ivory floral high-low tee (made by me), semi-tucked into boyfriend jeans (Fidelity); taupe and ivory marled hand-knit relaxed cardigan (Amy Brill); stone and cream leather belt (Annette Goertz); gray shimmer oxfords (Naot Kedma).<br />3-5 (worn to work): gray and mauve mixed-print pleat-back high-low tee (made by me); charcoal crinkle knit four-gored skirt (made by me); gray wedge Mary Janes (Pikolinos); black denim cropped moto (Free People); taupe shoulder bag (Aunts &amp; Uncles).</p> <p>I'm thinking I might have felt better about the look of the second outfit if I had worn my oxfords (in outfit 1) or flat black booties. It might have looked more current. But I went for the more ladylike feel of the wedge Mary Jane pumps. </p> <p>Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks for looking! </p>
