I will have to post an update when I try this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1431175 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 04:31:42 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1431175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice outfit and colors! I like the way you modernized the cardi with this outfit. I also like your idea of trying burgundy tights or brown ones. Medium brown boots would be good with either one, I think; they would bookend your hair, woudn't they? Brown is a softer contrast with reds, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1431169 Sun, 25 Jan 2015 04:08:24 +0000 K.M. 1431169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dixie, I'm intrigued by your suggestion and I love the examples in the photos. Next time I rotate back to this outfit I will experiment with my colored tights. I have quite a few shades of brown and I think I also might have a burgundy one (if not, I should get one!). But then, what color shoes? I'm thinking my medium brown boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1430543 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 03:39:51 +0000 Dixie 1430543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have thinking here! You have no idea, haha!<br />Maybe it really was just the photos. I like how the red skirt looks with black.&nbsp;<br />But well, my conclusion is that maybe if you had something black on top to echo the black on bottom, it could unify the whole look, like earrings, a belt, the scarf, even something in your hair (photo 1 and&nbsp;the blue coat with black belt in photo&nbsp;2). My other suggestion is wearing really dark coloured tights, dark plum, dark wine, dark brown,&nbsp;something dark enough that they sort of become a "neutral" in your outfit but with enough colouring that they don't look black (photos 3, 4 &amp; 5). Although a dark version of&nbsp;the color of your sweater would be my favourite.&nbsp;<br />I would like to know what you and everyone think </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1430524 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 03:03:38 +0000 K.M. 1430524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dixie, I had the same thought when I saw the photos--that the black legs/feet almost didn't belong. Funny enough, when I was standing up in front of the mirror I didn't have the same thought, meaning the effect may be more pronounced on the photo. Or maybe not! I wonder if there could be different tights and shoes to go with this. Brown tall boots perhaps? But then what color for the tights? (Given that I don't have red pants...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1430504 Sat, 24 Jan 2015 02:22:14 +0000 Dixie 1430504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think is a interesting rich color combination but IMO,&nbsp;the black tights and shoes kind of "kill" the color blocking, I would've preferred red pants instead of the black tights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1430281 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 20:19:16 +0000 Anonymous 1430281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a delicious colour combination! And I like Angie's suggestion for the scarf tying, as it will let us see the cardi better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1430127 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:29:22 +0000 karymk 1430127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are great with color. &nbsp;Love this combo</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1429838 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 04:17:03 +0000 Jaime 1429838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color combination is terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1429789 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 02:36:17 +0000 Helena 1429789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a vibrant color combination, and you wear it well!<br />Glad to hear that scarf tip from Angie, too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1429778 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 02:20:28 +0000 Suz 1429778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab colour scheme! So warm, bright, and fun. And I love gored skirts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1429771 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 02:12:52 +0000 K.M. 1429771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I see! That just shows how out of it I am regarding scarves. And to think they're one of my favorite accessories. Yes, that makes a lot of sense, and thank you so much both for the suggestion and for the further explanation. I love the look of infinities and would thus love to try it this way. <br />Thanks, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1429721 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 00:54:05 +0000 Angie 1429721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah. I mean wearing the scarf more like an infinity style, if that makes sense.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1429718 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 00:46:41 +0000 K.M. 1429718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, you mean tucking under the neckline? Will do! I was kind of bothered by the knot and ends sort of poking out of me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1429714 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 00:39:23 +0000 Angie 1429714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like magenta matched with red. Warm and vibrant. </p> <p>Try tying the scarf so that the ends are tucked under and not draping in the front of the outfit. That looks more current at the moment.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1429711 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 00:32:00 +0000 Roxanna 1429711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love the analogous colour pairing here - the scarf tops it off perfectly. And the black tights and shoes ground it so well - great choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-shades-of-magenta#post-1429681 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 23:47:14 +0000 K.M. 1429681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this today to work. It's cold and slushy so I changed shoes in the office. </p> <p>I tried to solve the problem of my terrible pics by photographing the outfit on its own--this allows me to get better lighting, framing and focus so you can see the colors and textures better. Then I have my mirror selfies (blurry, small and dark) to show you the shape of things when worn (which is a bit different).</p> <p>I came upon this color combo by accident; I don't think I would have thought of it in my head, but when I put things together I liked it. The skirt is wool by Boden, I think it was a "Skater" model. The cardi is also Boden. I love it but find it hard to pair because it's so dainty. </p> <p>I wore warm knit tights and booties, or shooties, not sure how they should be called. I'm posing with my feet in different positions because I think that when I wear these booties with skirts or dresses, if I look at myself sideways, my feet look very big, like clown feet. (Same effect if worn with skinnies or ankle pants). I think this because I have short, thin calves and long feet for my height. Not sure if it's all in my head but I wonder... </p>
