Thanks.<br />kkards - flats will work with the dress too, thank you!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508960 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 14:41:05 +0000 kkards 1508960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>another vote for #1 as my fav. i like the denim jacket with dress, you might try to roll the sleeves up a little more, it would lighten the outfit up a bit. also wondering if the shoes from #3 would work with the dress.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508952 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 14:22:42 +0000 Meredith 1508952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say something similar to what JamC suggested-i like the dress idea. I like my short jackets paired with skirts, so that's worth a try too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508948 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 14:14:38 +0000 JamC 1508948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great! I like short jackets with dresses; try the dress and green jacket together! I would also pair the bright sweater with the dress and see how that looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508938 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 12:44:37 +0000 Daria 1508938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tania, Brooklyn, caro in oz - thank you! I'm guessing #2 (with tights) would indeed be a nice wintry outfit, had I lived somewhere in California! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508869 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 02:52:50 +0000 Caro in Oz 1508869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first one too - imo the proportions are great </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508837 Sat, 20 Jun 2015 00:30:40 +0000 Brooklyn 1508837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love no 1. Has a funky 70s vibe. Proportions are good. It would also work with wedge or platform sandals imo. No 2 is great. You definitely can carry it off, but it does look a little more wintry in terms of colour. I am not sure about no 3 because I have a thing about mixing black with light bright colours like coral and bright blue. But that is just a personal preference, I don't think that there are too many colours:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508822 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 23:49:12 +0000 Tania 1508822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all work.&nbsp; Proportions of 1 are fine.&nbsp; I really like the shoes in 2, and the color combo in 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508796 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 23:02:37 +0000 Daria 1508796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! Glad #1 works, because I was really unsure about the blazer from the start. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508795 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 22:50:49 +0000 Dee 1508795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The proportions of #1 are great! It's my favorite of the three. And the pop of blue with the coral in #3 is so fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508724 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 19:21:15 +0000 Astrid 1508724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like them all. Not too much going on in #3 and I think you can definitely pull off #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508721 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 19:18:48 +0000 Anonymous 1508721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm another fan of the fab proportions in #1 I really like the shorter jacket length. #2 looks fine to me. I think it works and I don't think there's too much going on in #3 as it's basically black and white with two colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508720 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 19:15:21 +0000 Daria 1508720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maneera - thanks for the insight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508683 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 17:43:48 +0000 Maneera 1508683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress with the denim jacket. It's cool. And I like the way you've mixed coral and blue with black and b&amp;w print. No - it's not too much. It's just right---interesting without being over the top. I agree with amiable, the proportions of #1 look balanced to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508671 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 17:27:14 +0000 Daria 1508671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks amiable! You are probably right reg. the dress outfit. Would be better with a white or bright-colored denim jacket - alas it's not in the budget right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508657 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 16:52:37 +0000 amiable 1508657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I like them all - the proportions of #1 look great to my eye - I like the longer, contrasting top. &nbsp;#2 is darker than you normally wear, and because of that looks a bit wintry to me. &nbsp;I love the shoes though! &nbsp;And I really like the pops of bright color with the patterns in #3. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-pieces-and-some-new-combinations#post-1508649 Fri, 19 Jun 2015 16:39:13 +0000 Daria 1508649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A brief WIW with a couple (3 to be exact :)) &nbsp;outfits from this week.<br />Life has been pretty hectic both at and outside of work. Actually my only half-decent outfit this week was worn to my daughter's preschool graduation, but I never got to take a photo. I don't shop, so it's all combinations of my existing pieces.<br />#1 - I'm never sure how to style this jacket proportion wise - something always seems off to me. Here I'm trying it with a longer top of contrasting color. What do you think?<br />#2 - looks pretty bland? The kind of outfit Astrid can pull off but not me. :)<br />#3 - is there too much going on, with a mix of pattern and colors? </p>
