That sounds like a great idea. I think I will do it with a denim skirt (when I get one) rather than jeans, simply because the cropped length doesn't work for me with jeans....I have a LOOOONG rise, and it leaves a vast swathe of real estate between waist and legs, making my legs look even shorter than they already are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487800 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:35:09 +0000 Lisa 487800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun are those tights? Oh yes and I like the jacket pairing here too. If you don't like the jacket against black I think it would look really sharp with a white shirt and blue jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487798 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:31:31 +0000 Suz 487798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, everybody! You are all so encouraging. What a great community. </p> <p>Sveta, this is my first time EVER in plaid tights. I would never have tried something like this pre YLF. Especially not with BOOTIES and a SKIRT on MY short legs????? HA. </p> <p>But I found these on sale half price at Legs Beautiful when I was in Toronto, and I could see how they would work with that jacket, so figured it was worth a try. </p> <p>I think you'd look amazing in multicoloured patterned tights. (I knew you already wear some, and some with textures). You have the long legs to carry this off to perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487762 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 12:13:14 +0000 Sveta 487762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I told you before and i am telling you again that I LOVE that raspberry cropped denim jacket on you. Period!<br /> I truly love what you did with this outfit. It looks modern, comfy and very Suz. Red and greay is one of my favorite color combinations ever!<br /> I have never braved the plaid tights - maybe I should give them a try?<br /> Love your kitty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487749 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 10:13:21 +0000 Deborah 487749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Suz, this is so fab. And this color combo works brilliantly. I'm taking notes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487716 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 06:07:38 +0000 AJ 487716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So FABULOUS! You may be building your wardrobe slowly, but you are finding absolute 10's!! Nicely styled! Luv it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487704 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 05:32:54 +0000 Angie 487704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487482 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:58:23 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 487482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I think you are almost too cute for description. The charcoal grey skirt is the perfect backdrop for the red jacket and the funky tights add visual interest to the bottom half of the outfit. It really is fabulous and you have come a long way baby. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487438 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 22:08:49 +0000 Suz 487438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today has been one of those days, so it's especially nice to come back here and find all these sweet comments about my outfit! Thank you all. </p> <p>Claire, you can add telepathy to your list of amazing powers. It's so funny you were able to predict that I was wearing that jacket! </p> <p>Kelly, Una, you are very sweet, but I am sure you two could look fantastic in cropped jackets and waist defining skirts/dresses. You're right, Kelly, this one has a high waist, which probably helps, but I think a regular waist would work with this jacket, too. </p> <p>The gathers in the skirt may actually make it pair well with the jacket; that, along with the pockets and zip fly make it a bit "trouser" like, as Una said, and also give it a casual feel even though it has a pencil shape. </p> <p>That thrifted jacket must be beaming with happiness to see all the love it is getting here. Old Navy, 2005, if anyone is looking for a similar make and model! I think they came in a whole rainbow of colours. I wonder if they're available on ebay? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487403 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:01:48 +0000 Anonymous 487403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah! I was working my way up the home page from the bottom when I read your post title a little ahead of where I was. The thumbnail was not visible on my screen yet, but I *knew* you were talking about your red jacket when I read the title! I love being right, lol!</p> <p>I'm of the same opinion as you are regarding red and black. I love how you've softened it with the grey. Now it totally works with your coloring. </p> <p>I love, love LOVE this look on you! The proportions of that jacket with the skirt are perfect and those statement tights are just killing me! I'm so happy the cute booties actually feel good on your feet, too!</p> <p>Regarding booties with skirts, The low contrast you've created with the plaid tights is nearly as good as black tights (IMHO) for leg lengthening. Good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487382 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:27:44 +0000 kellygirl 487382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Una--I think it has something to do with the higher waist of the skirt and the fact that she has a waist! I try this and it looks 'orrible! Doesn't hurt that she's so darn cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487378 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:24:13 +0000 Janet 487378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now you've got me wanting that jacket for myself! </p> <p>I love this outfit. You look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487346 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:40:20 +0000 Debbie 487346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is perfection in my book. Love the jacket and the booties! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487344 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:37:28 +0000 catgirl 487344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kelly, I can never get this right either. I've been studying Suz's photos and I'm thinking maybe it's that the skirt has a trouser-ish feel to it that makes it fit well with the crop? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487286 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:27:09 +0000 Ana 487286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love your red denim jacket. I've loved every outfit you have put together with it, and this one is no exception. I love the plaid tights! Very fun touch for such a grey day. </p> <p>: ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487283 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:22:13 +0000 HelenInCanada 487283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You give Canada a good name, Suz! Representing! So proud. You are becoming a style icon on YLF, no doubt about it!!!</p> <p>This is a GREAT outfit - I LOVE your bright jacket with the calm grey skirt (and the jacket's cropped length is perfect for showing off the cool waistline of the skirt). And the tights - totally add personality and uniqueness! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487281 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:20:16 +0000 Gaye 487281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you look fun,funky and totally fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487278 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:13:04 +0000 MsMary 487278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so fun! Love the kitty!! </p> <p>I second or third the idea of trying the jacket with a dress. And maybe adding a fun scarf? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487259 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:35:32 +0000 kellygirl 487259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection! I love the cropped jacket with the skirt! For some reason, I can never get this one right but on you it looks amazing. Fab tights and adorable kitty : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487258 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:34:44 +0000 Jonesy 487258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Amy just said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487230 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:07:31 +0000 Amy 487230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are so gorgeous, Suz, and that outfit is just perfect. Kitty is pretty darned cute too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487227 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:05:37 +0000 catgirl 487227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How utterly fab can you get? You are turning into Queen Cropped Topper and I want to join your court! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487212 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:52:02 +0000 lyn67 487212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesss! LOVE grey with raspberry! Wouldn't love that much with a black skirt! Love those tights, especially! Tyeing everything tgether! I'm also into patterned tights latelly-of course I cannot do this bold like these one, as my calves are much more wider, but started with subtle prints and textures, and love it!<br /> Great outfit!!! You look so current and confident in this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487204 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:40:56 +0000 Suz 487204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Rae - those are good colour suggestions! </p> <p>And yes, Max is quite a character. He is asleep now UNDER the covers in our bed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487203 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:39:22 +0000 Suz 487203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, and yes, those are the Josef Siebel booties!! (Waves to Krishnidoux!) These are seriously the most comfortable things I have ever put on my feet. Truly. My only complaint is that I have worn them so much that I've already worn the lifts out! </p> <p>The jacket does work with a sheath. But my one and only sheath is black. </p> <p>&lt;Makes note to self to buy another sheath dress in a different colour if she can ever locate one. &gt; </p> <p>Wait, I lied..I have a blue-grey jersey cowl neck sheath, too. I could try it with that. Somehow the texture of the fabrics doesn't want to marry, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487201 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:38:35 +0000 rae 487201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the brights formula in action - I am with you not liking brights next to black so much. I could also see it with cream, camel, or heather gray. Those tights are awesome!!</p> <p>And look at Max, wroking the camera. Gorgeous (though I am a little bit biased). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487197 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:36:44 +0000 Mochi 487197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I signed back on just to tell you that this outfit is amazing, Suz. So texturally interesting and harmonious even with the different colors and patterns coming into play. I love it and am tempted to try and figure out a "me" version that works! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487195 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:33:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 487195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love everything about this - I think you got the proportions dead bang on in this outfit Suz. I love the red and gray paired together and those tights are so darned fun - they take the outfit to another level. Are those the Josef Siebel booties? They look super comfortable and funky. I wonder if the jacket would work over a sheath dress?</p> <p>BTW - Max is very photogenic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-plaid-tights-and-upside-down-bright-jeans-formula#post-487194 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:33:21 +0000 Diana 487194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! I love the fun plaid tights and bright jacket, and that skirt shape is one of my favorites. You look fun and cozy, yet still put together.</p> <p>I would also try the jacket over a sheath dress or maybe a narrow sweater dress. </p> <p>*pats the kitty too* </p>
