I like the ease of the sweater and pants, and the beautiful colors of the scarf with the outfit. You could try blousing the sweater over the band at the bottom, if you want to wear it shorter, for a different look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-dark-brown#post-1410188 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 03:22:39 +0000 Anonymous 1410188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, thank you for your observations,especially about the slouchy skinnies tucked into boots. It is hard for my chicken legs to fill out any skinnies. Even leggings hang loose below the knee. I will have to think about this and experiment. As Shiny noted on a different thread, it doesn't help the calf fit when boot tops consistently end higher than the calf. On me that is a narrower spot.<br /> Angie, thank you for the confidence builder. I felt great in this outfit today.. My son's abandoned sweater is so soft and not at all itchy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-dark-brown#post-1410148 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 01:35:11 +0000 Angie 1410148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous. Another who nailed the formula. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-dark-brown#post-1410115 Sat, 13 Dec 2014 00:04:45 +0000 Aida 1410115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it works really well Joy! And quite like the brighter red bag with the burgundy sweater. I don't find the turtleneck too large at all, and don't mind the slouchiness of the pants tucked into the boots either (great cobbler fix on those). I would say though that sleeker skinnies will give you a cleaner, more classic look (if that's what you're after); any baggier skinnies that are tucked into tall boots have an inherently slouchy, RATE vibe to them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-dark-brown#post-1410104 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 23:27:57 +0000 Anonymous 1410104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank your Suz. I am thrilled with the result. Who knew that the little straps could easily be shortened from the sewn end. She charged me just $7 per boot. Now I see possibilities in other boots. The only problem is that the cobbler is over 70 and will be retiring soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-dark-brown#post-1410100 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 23:14:23 +0000 Suz 1410100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - Joy, I think this works beautifully on you, and I am so so taken with the boots! Great job getting them fitted! That must feel wonderful -- now you have TWO fabulous fitting tall boots.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-dark-brown#post-1410061 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 22:13:42 +0000 Anonymous 1410061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didn't get a photo of my brown leather coat.

Will add them now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-dark-brown#post-1410054 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 22:01:31 +0000 Deborah 1410054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are teasing us....no pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-and-dark-brown#post-1410049 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 21:57:49 +0000 Anonymous 1410049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by Angie's ensemble post, I shopped my closet.<br /> Dark brown Ponte pants from Chicos last year<br /> Dark red men's small merino wool turtleneck left behind by DS<br /> Old woven wool RL scarf<br /> Old ECCO boots back from cobbler with buckle strap shortened so that they fit my narrow leg better.<br /> Bag from Tignanello several years old. I wish I had teal bag<br /> Is this working? Is the oversized turtleneck too oversized? I could shrink it. Do the pants look too baggy tucked into boots? Tell me the truth. I could tweak the outfit and wear dark brown oxfords and a more fitted bright red sweater. I also have other scarf possibilities and brown leather pants. </p>
