Kalli, you are starting off WIW with a bang! You're going to be an inspiration, I can tell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants/page/2#post-878763 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 11:11:36 +0000 Kalli 878763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@bethann, clearlyclaire and Tina.b - will check out others, thanks for the recommendations, amazing compliments from such fashionable ladies (I mean a thrifted Celine! - hope to aspire to that), I do love Valentino, it's so me (yes I lust his white stud kitten heel t strap pointy toe pumps) </p> <p>@harmonica - I think my time is passing for wearing such shoes lol, but these are old and I definitely can wear it to my sitting job (complicated but I wear a pedometer and I walk on average 1500 steps at my job), so I said as long as I have alternate shoes, I can still love these but comfy they are not!</p> <p>@cocolion - gah weakness for pretty shoes is my downfall, yay for wide legged pants</p> <p>@ingunn - my modern classic idol! I like my old clothes, means I still love them else they must disappear. My oldest piece is a Dolman sweater that I wore it when I was 11, so wow it's definitely appropriate now because that was the 80s </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants/page/2#post-878135 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 20:30:20 +0000 Ingunn 878135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my - frump has nothing to do with this. at. all. You are elegance in perfection. The AF blouse is just beautiful, and I love the fab shoes. The classic pants make this a timeless outfit. I particularly like that you use garments you've had for several years. So did I this week, and it felt great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants/page/2#post-878122 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 20:17:27 +0000 CocoLion 878122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look fantastic.

Congrats on your first WIW, and thank you for being so active and giving on the forum. You really rock those wide-legged trousers and the pointy toed shoes are so perfect with them. I love the lace on the shoes and how it relates to that gorgeous AF blouse. You look Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877813 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 13:41:59 +0000 Beth Ann 877813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the world of WIW! You close ups of each item were very helpful, since black can be hard to photograph. BTW --- no worries about loving black here! We're all working working on being our best style selves, rather than following trends in color or silhouette. Check out Aussie Deborah, she does black beautifully!</p> <p>Love the Fontaine shirt --- a special item that will make any outfit pop. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877783 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 13:05:03 +0000 Kalli 877783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@rae - i hope that's true because I intend on wearing these investment pieces until they fall apart, I need some big time CPW to makeup for the big dent in my wallet</p> <p>@Deborah - Why thank you! It's good to know more people appreciate black. My mom makes a big frowny face everytime I come back with a black shirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877707 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:54:21 +0000 Deborah 877707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love this outfit! You look stunning. And you know I love black so this is a total winner in my eyes. That blouse is beautiful! Fab first WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877632 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 04:30:51 +0000 rae 877632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is frump even possible in an AF blouse?? It is so gorgeous! I love that you are wearing wide legs. They look very fresh to me after all the crops and tapers that are around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877616 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 04:09:49 +0000 Kalli 877616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@shevia - much thanks.</p> <p>@rachylou - it's part of the pants, ha I took the lazy way out! Pants with detail = one less accessory to worry about!</p> <p>@ Tanya - I love your WIWs, can't wait to see more. I was wondering if I kept everything black and wore two statement type pieces it would work out. Can't wait to see your new shoes on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877519 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:09:58 +0000 Tanya 877519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a stunning first WIW! I think all black is beautiful when there are some interesting textures involved. All the pieces are gorgeous and fit is impeccable. Can't wait to see more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877517 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:08:11 +0000 rachylou 877517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No frump! The belt is very interesting, shakes things up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877509 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 02:01:13 +0000 Jaime 877509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great first WIW - I like the shoes with the beautiful blouse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877489 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 01:50:28 +0000 Kalli 877489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@shannon - hehe my mom tells me my closet is ready for a funeral at anytime, hello black clothing you are my friends, though I have some color! I just love black, makes me feel chic, it's my weakness.</p> <p>@sara L - lovely compliment, can't wait to see your own WIW, I challenge you to wear all black too!</p> <p>@annygybe - not as trendy as you I know, we can only hope to aspire to such greatness! Love your black silk lace boho blouse (all things I love: black, silk, lace) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877482 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 01:46:08 +0000 annagybe 877482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877477 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 01:43:27 +0000 Sara L. 877477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like black too so no complaints from me. I love those pointy lace pumps! Great outfit with some great pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877457 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 01:35:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 877457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Talk about an AMAZING first WIW! This is fantastic - of course, I may be biased as I also reserve the right to love black! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877449 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 01:32:50 +0000 Angie 877449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modern Classic beauty :). Great textural interest on almost all black from head to toe. </p> <p>Thanks, Kalli! I really appreciate the extra pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877434 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 01:15:14 +0000 Kalli 877434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Suz - one day lets plan on being outfit twins, it's karma I say!</p> <p>@missvee - for some reason I like interesting pieces I noticed that, maybe clothing items sort of have to call out to me before I commit. I suppose if I had tons of money shopping would be easier but then I don't so I have to be careful and pick pieces I love and within my budget. I remember the shoes costs me $35 or something ridiculous, could be because they weren't trending as much anymore but I can wear them now...</p> <p>@thistle - you are fabulous inside and out, I always want to give you a hug when I see your photos and or comments</p> <p>@pil - I aspire to have a fabulous closet but like anyone I make mistakes too, so I'm not sure... Time to make more posts and we'll see. I own only one blazer and it's hot pink velvet. I own too many pairs of black shoes. I also own only 3 purses and no clutches. Yeah I need help too! YLF to the rescue!</p> <p>@carolbee - gah, I got dressed in the dark at 4am, wore the outfit until 3:30pm after sitting for 10 hours (notice pant creases ...) then came home, decided to take photos and post to share </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877429 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 01:11:23 +0000 carolbee 877429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit. You mean you didn't take a photo at 4am ......lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877420 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 01:04:35 +0000 pil 877420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are some beautiful pieces, Kalli - those shoes!! Is the rest of your closet this fabulous? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877392 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 00:42:51 +0000 Thistle 877392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful outfit. Element and chic, and NO frump anywhere. Those shoes are freaking amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877387 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 00:39:32 +0000 missvee 877387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beautiful outfit. You have such interesting pieces here and the fit of everything is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877367 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 00:18:04 +0000 Suz 877367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful!! And although I didn't take a photo, we were wide leg trouser twins today. I also wore mine and felt pretty darned okay in them, although I did not have your killer shoes to complete my outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877365 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 00:16:21 +0000 Kalli 877365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Angie - since you graciously left me a request to post a top to toe, I decided to even though for some reason taking photos pains me. Forgive my wrinkly appearance, happens when you sit at a desk for 10 hours.</p> <p>@raisin - I appreciate you took note of how difficult it is to try to be stylish at 4am, I appreciate that you are trying to be stylish for a mom (my sister gave up even though I tried) all the moms deserve much kudos especially the ones that have their plates extra full</p> <p>@kellygirl and karie - thanks for loving my shoes as much as I do </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877361 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 00:14:33 +0000 Karie 877361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those shoes! Love! The entire outfit looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877347 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 00:01:24 +0000 Angie 877347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to see the whole outfit, from top to toe! </p> <p>From what I can imagine with the shoes - KILLER :)</p> <p>High five my fellow Anne Fontaine Shirt Lover! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-no-frump-rocking-out-the-wide-leg-pants#post-877345 Wed, 13 Mar 2013 23:58:56 +0000 Raisin 877345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all black too! It's hard to photographer well, though. From what I see here you look very polished, and as far from frumpy as can be. That top is gorgeous! Good job getting the motivation to get dressed at 4am. </p>
