Given the booties are not a wildcard after all maybe you need another </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1441572 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:54:34 +0000 approprio 1441572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, sorry, been meaning to stop by this thread and say how much I love your new duds, particularly the checked tunic. Nice to see the new booties getting an outing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1441566 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:49:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1441566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Lisa! I did make the cowl top, but not the long sweater. It's from Nordstrom a couple of years ago and I don't know the brand. It was one that I didn't even recognize at the time I bought it, and I cut the tag out. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1441113 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 22:24:58 +0000 Anonymous 1441113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sharan - really love the olive cowl neck top with that fantastic dramatic sweater! &nbsp;No credit for that piece- did you make it? &nbsp;Anyways, this is definitely a great look on you - the long , dramatic jacket/sweater over a soft top. &nbsp;Works so well with your long, slim legs </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1441109 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 22:19:37 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1441109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!<br />Rachylou, the kerchief hem as my signature, hmmm. . . I don't feel I wear it that often, but perhaps asymmetry? I don't know. Thanks for giving me something to ponder.</p> <p>Karie and Summer, I love the shoulder cozy that my friend knit--thank you! Yes, she is very talented!</p> <p>Lyn, it's interesting that you raise the question of layering a coat over longer layers. I do it with the mauve coat, because the coat itself is loose and arty-looking. But I don't feel it works with my more tailored trench coats and the like. I think it would look better if the coat had an asymmetrical hem, and/or perhaps an open front.</p> <p>Eliza, the Mycra-Pac has been with me for close to 10 years, I'd say. And I'm a little embarrassed to say I've considered purging it in the past because I thought the color wasn't quite right for me. I'm soooo glad I didn't! (What was I thinking??!) I recently had my colors done and it's firmly in my palette. I'd like to find more items in that color. Mine reverses to black, too, a kind of odd off-black color, which is also easy to wear with a lot of things in my wardrobe.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1441099 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 21:31:36 +0000 Debbie 1441099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! 4 is my favorite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1441096 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 21:14:11 +0000 texstyle 1441096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the layered and asymmetrical lines you create with so many of your clothes - very much you, and very beautiful to look at! I esp. like #1 and #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1440990 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 17:18:58 +0000 Eliza 1440990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is always great to see how your talents intersect and you wear such interesting looks with pieces you create. &nbsp;These are great looks on you and I like the angled hem lines. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>As an aside, your Mycra-Pac coat is such a gorgeous color on you. &nbsp;I have one that I purchased awhile ago in black- while it comes in very handy, I prefer how the shade you have functions as a neutral, but adds life to the outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Well done!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1440984 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:58:06 +0000 Roxanna 1440984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that moto jacket and the dress!

Your MBM tops and tunics are lovely and so 'you'. Like the others I'm loving the drama of #1 with the long sweater over the beautiful cowl top. But I also love the layered looks with the great moto over the top. Like Shiny I also&nbsp;want to see a bit more of the shoes in the great 3rd outfit....maybe when the weather picks up eh? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1440777 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 06:26:12 +0000 Caro in Oz 1440777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my pick too - imo it's such a defining look of yours. YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1440730 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 04:18:07 +0000 Sara L. 1440730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfits!

Also, cu-ute, the tunic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1440713 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 04:00:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1440713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone!<br />Shiny, yes! It wasn't all that warm, but I just had to wear the shoes, even if they were covered up. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1440699 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 03:30:41 +0000 shiny 1440699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always love all your outfits. #4/5 are my favorites here. #6/7 are great but you have to let those shoes out to play! You're covering up all the fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1440698 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 03:26:59 +0000 frannieb 1440698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite look is number 1 but I do have a thing for the dramatic sweater. The tunic in 4 and 5 is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1440694 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 03:24:55 +0000 Jaime 1440694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first outfit! When MBM opens shop I will order that top. Love the tunic in the second outfit too for that matter. As always, great shoes too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-tops-booties#post-1440587 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 00:38:21 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1440587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These outfits feature new tops I've made in the last week or so. One is a cowl-neck knit top. The others are layered tunics--one is sleeveless, and the other has long sleeves, and they are in coordinating gray, black, and white prints. I can wear them alone or layered one on top of the other. I made them with my skirted leggings in mind, so that's how I wore them for the first time this week.</p> <p>The outfits: <br />1-3 (worn to work): navy corduroy skinnies (Kut from the Kloth, Diana); light olive heather cowl-neck knit top (made by me); narrow brown croc-print belt (Ralph Lauren); olive, blue, and mauve open-weave drape-front sweater; olive distressed suede boots (Donald J. Pliner, Devi 3); mauve packable raincoat (Mycra-Pac); taupe shoulder bag (Aunts &amp; Uncles).</p> <p>4-5 (worn to work):gray, black, and white print knit layered asymmetrical tunics (made by me); black skirted leggings (Eileen Fisher); black denim cropped moto jacket (Free People); gray moto boots (Frye, Lynn).</p> <p>6-8 (worn for a day off): dark straight leg jeans (Lucky, Sweet Jean); light olive heather knit cowl-neck top as above; stone and cream belt (Annette Goertz); blue and sage heather shoulder cozy (knit by a friend); taupe cutout booties (Kork-Ease, Stina); mauve coat and taupe shoulder bag as above. Oh, and these booties are the ones I <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wild-cards-organized-emotional-shopping" rel="nofollow">posted about as a possible wild card</a> for me. But it seems maybe they're not really that unusual for me after all!</p> <p>Thanks for looking! I welcome your thoughts and suggestions.</p>
