LOVE!!&nbsp;</p> <p>I also love the outfit on you. It's fun and subtly romantic with the ruching. I love the way it plays with your hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1412232 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 02:31:18 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1412232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this outfit! The echoed ruching works really nicely. I love, love the brogues with this outfit, too! <br />How about trying the top open, as a jacket with other outfits, to extend its functions in your wardrobe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1412219 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 02:14:19 +0000 frannieb 1412219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the outfit - &nbsp;the top and skirt are both killer and together I guess they are killer squared. love &nbsp;having to have shoes with your name makes all the sense in the world to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1412113 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 22:42:20 +0000 Anonymous 1412113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy moly I love those shoes! Not sure it's my look at all, but man I love them. Anyways, same with your two pieces here: from a purely objective stance, I really like the colour mix, the ruching on each piece, and the entire effect is one of considered artiness. Made up word. I think you look quite fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1412006 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 19:26:52 +0000 rachylou 1412006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'd love to see a pic! I'd probably go with the black - black is always safe in the city. </p> <p>I could sure use a raincoat. We are having a 30-year record winter of storms. Right. And so I went and threw out my rain poncho earlier this year, because not only are we having a record drought at the same time (it's bewildering), it didn't work at all. Left my arms to get all wet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1412004 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 19:24:20 +0000 gardenchick 1412004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely, great color combo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1412001 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 19:16:35 +0000 approprio 1412001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>Angie, CC, TG - thanks for the colour advice! I wear a lot of&nbsp;red but the orange end of the spectrum can sometimes look a bit harsh on me. And I don't think I'll ever overcome my fear of brown (what is it about school uniform?!) But it was fun to wear today, and I LOVE the combination!</p> <p>Astrid, Shevia, great hair!&nbsp;Shevia, does the new profile pic mean we'll see some outfits soon?&nbsp;</p> <p>Astrid, jackiec,&nbsp;if you're thinking of buying Docs, look out for the Made in England classics. More expensive but much better quality!</p> <p>Rachylou, if you ride a bike&nbsp;you do indeed need the Raindress. I took delivery of mine today (in Army Green)&nbsp;and I can't wait to get dressed up for the lousy Amsterdam weather. It looks darn cool and there's so many little details that&nbsp;make it work as practical rain gear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1411927 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 17:45:22 +0000 Helena 1411927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beautiful color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1411925 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 17:41:11 +0000 rachylou 1411925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Luxurious! </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: I need the rain dress!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1411863 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 15:23:25 +0000 Angie 1411863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS.</p> <p>I love those tones of red with your orange hair. Nice that you wore flats with a skirt&nbsp;too. The ruched detailing in both the top and bottom complement each other.&nbsp;</p> <p>(I don't wear chocolate brown either - school uniform killed the colour. But I LOVE cognac, toffee&nbsp;and a warm tan).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1411854 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 15:15:53 +0000 Astrid 1411854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great! I like the jacket in this outfit, paired with the ruched skirt. I almost bought Docs in the same color a while ago, but they ended up being too small for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1411847 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 15:11:29 +0000 Classically Casual 1411847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this a lot...all the ruching and your hairstyle contribute to a coherent whole that's simple, but distinctive. This color combo works amazingly well, doesn't it? Like you, brown rarely gets a chance in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1411839 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 14:57:58 +0000 jackiec 1411839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Shevia. I LoVe the brogues! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1411802 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 13:49:52 +0000 Jaime 1411802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is excellent. I see what you mean about the top - in itself I don't know if I would love it, but here with the similarly ruched skirt it works really nicely. I love the shoes too - I recently picked up a pair of wedged oxfords with fringe and Doc Marten style stitching that look a bit like&nbsp;these.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-brown#post-1411768 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 11:35:03 +0000 approprio 1411768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It took a few days to figure it out, but I finally came up with a red/brown combo.&nbsp;I don't wear much brown, having been traumatised at an early age by a chocolate/cream coloured school uniform, so it tends to be reserved for accents.</p> <p>I&nbsp;found this little top, another gift from my awesome sister, when I&nbsp;was&nbsp;purging the holding pen over the weekend.&nbsp;I'll be honest, I'm not sure about it. I quite like it, it fits nicely but it doesn't thrill me and&nbsp;I wonder if it's adding pounds to my somewhat top-heavy figure. Also perhaps a bit dated, but that's rarely a deal breaker for me if I like something.</p> <p>I paired it with navy tights and&nbsp;this skirt, a genius number from local hero&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://bybrown.nl">BYBROWN</a>, one of my favourite Amsterdam&nbsp;brands. You can't see from the picture but the ruches can be undone and adjusted on tiny hooks in the blue band. </p> <p>The other things you can't quite see are&nbsp;my lovely Dr Martens Elizabeth brogues, which I had to have since that's my name, and who can resist a gorgeous pair of shoes with her name on?</p> <p>I never would have thought of putting these two items together but the colours and the ruches are playing so nicely that I think I might give the top a reprieve and see if I can&nbsp;find some other ways to style it. What do you ladies think?</p> <p>Thanks for the inspiration Angie! </p>
