I think you look terrific. Great jacket. This is one of those outfits with which I bet you could find lots of variations that work well but have varying levels of edge or classic style, depending on your mood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-767094 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 12:54:53 +0000 ritu 767094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it, Fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-758658 Sat, 27 Oct 2012 00:01:41 +0000 Laura 758658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That skirt continues to be killer, and the jacket is perfect. </p> <p>It would be fun to try with more rugged boots, but then you might swap the white jacket for something in denim, since it might be too jarring? I don't know, you'd have to try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-758623 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 23:22:04 +0000 moira 758623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is very chic. It is not edgy. It doesn't always have to be.<br /> You look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-758205 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 14:31:17 +0000 shiny 758205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! </p> <p>Day Vies - we think alike that was exactly my thought process about the boots. </p> <p>Claire - it's not a new jacket. It's from AT, the season when they had guest designers, so I've had it for a few years now. It's pleather, but that's actually a plus because it's super easy to keep it clean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-758160 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 13:54:30 +0000 Sara L. 758160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the white jacket looks great with this outfit! It's much less predictable than black (which would probably look great too, just in a different way). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-758152 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 13:49:46 +0000 citygirldc 758152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just gorgeous and love that white leather jacket. I want one now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-758085 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 11:22:25 +0000 Anonymous 758085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Not just OK for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-758083 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 11:19:32 +0000 Anonymous 758083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG--the jacket, the jacket! *swoon* Is this new? I love it, and your whole outfit. Yes the other boots may have been trendier, but this is pure modern classic chic. I didn't get a chance to comment on your haircut yet, but I love that too. You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-758045 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 09:35:03 +0000 lyn67 758045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice outfit,I love all the dramatic contrasts, your boots, the black and white skirt with the white moto(+ burgundy top), all is fab to me!!! Your hair, too:-)) (Inever ever use a straightener on mine!!! It is so thin, that it just don't work on it-as it makes it look more thin and fIat to my eye, so just blow my hair with a babyliss round, ceramic coated and ionizing brush). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-758041 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 09:20:45 +0000 rute 758041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love a black and white look! Simple is better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-758028 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 07:37:18 +0000 Day Vies 758028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, simply lovely! </p> <p>I am a toe in the water kind of girl when it comes to edge, but I know it when I see it. I love the skirt with the jacket (edge factor). I really like the jacket. It works on 2 levels the design is edgy, the color is refined. The print on your skirt looks divine and the burgundy top is so unexpected (adds depth!) </p> <p>I see what you mean about the boots. I can't see the heel in the pictures but, the pointed to reads refined to me. Something a bit chunkier would play off the jacket nicely too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-758012 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 06:21:48 +0000 Kirti 758012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great but it is always awesome to come up with even better versions of our outfits! Cannot wait to see your tweaked outfit too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-757982 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 04:56:51 +0000 Caro in Oz 757982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you are the work of art in the foreground!<br /> imo this really works but it is nice to have options:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-757977 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 04:37:01 +0000 Ingunn 757977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so chic and really good looking, and for another vibe you can swap the boots and jacket like you said. Both works, I'm sure. Your haircut is amazing! I think you did the right thing there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-757962 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 03:57:36 +0000 PinkLemonade 757962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the white jacket with this outfit. I think it is a tad bit unexpected (because everyone is afraid of white) but not way out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-757951 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 03:31:19 +0000 kellygirl 757951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this looks perfect. I love the white jacket and the black boots. I like the contrast. I'd love to see it with the Fryes too. I haven't seen those yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-757940 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 02:53:15 +0000 JulieJohn 757940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, for what you weren't going to wear, it's pretty darn great! I'm looking forward to seeing the skirt with those booties you spoke of, you have piqued my interest. Very chic and artistic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-okay-but-could-have-been-better#post-757938 Fri, 26 Oct 2012 02:49:04 +0000 shiny 757938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I wore: </p> <p>- really old BR burgundy cap sleeve knit cowl neck top<br /> - Trina Turk skirt<br /> - AT white pleather scuba jacket<br /> - microfishnets<br /> - black suede tall boots</p> <p>What I had planned to wear:<br /> Same outfit but with..<br /> - new Halogen cowl neck cashmere sweater, which is a brighter shade (identical to my new pashmina, shown in yesterday's WiW). It was warmer out today so I wound up doing a last-minute top swap.<br /> - black suede Me-Too wedge booties. Which definitely looked a LOT more trendy with this skirt, but those booties are 3 inches tall and the day involved too much walking around. So I swapped last minute into the tall boots, which are only 1-1/2 inches. </p> <p>In retrospect, what would have even been better:<br /> - the new flat Frye booties! It didn't even occur to me to try these with a skirt. Next time!. I think it would have given the outfit more edge.<br /> - May have also worked with denim jacket, or black moto, instead of white. </p> <p>Hair comments:<br /> - Flat ironed the heck out of it. I was going to lay off my flat iron for awhile to give my hair a rest, but within an hour after styling it, it was doing some funky weird curly thing that just was not working. So I attacked it with the flat iron! </p>
