You'd probably like the coat from the back, too--it has a full-length inverted pleat. <br />Thanks, Suz! I liked the wine sweater over the blouse, perhaps even better than the fuchsia that I wore with it recently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1415016 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 01:28:09 +0000 Suz 1415016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am agreeing with those who like the Fryes with the dress. You never know, do you? Something about them &nbsp;seems to balance the outfit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fantastic textures and great combinations. I love the stone pants in #1. Also love the after work version. Great rich colour on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1415010 Wed, 24 Dec 2014 00:43:16 +0000 unfrumped 1415010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I can't get past the fact that you actually made that plonkin' wool coat, which I want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1414954 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 21:23:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1414954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura and Elizabeth, I kind of liked the Fryes with the dress, too. I'll have to remember to wear them together sometime. I didn't like the flat black boots so well--something elf-like about the look. </p> <p>Windchime, yes I was thinking about how a lot of what I wear ends up being used as an example of some stitch or technique. I'm often turning up hems to point out something. </p> <p>Thanks, Angie. I like dresses! I appreciate your vote of confidence. </p> <p>Peri, thanks for your comment on the trench as well as the mesh cardigan. I went through a lot of try-outs for the coat here on the forum; I'm glad I found this one. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1414949 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 21:18:34 +0000 approprio 1414949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks! All three pairs of boots look great with the dress, although the Paul Greens look best&nbsp;with the cardigan in my opinion. How does the grey striped knit in 10-11 play with lighter colours? Would love to see that with a column of white or cream underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1414873 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 17:33:44 +0000 jackiec 1414873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree - that dress is SO you and totally arty-glam! Your boot collection is so amazing, I love them all. Fab outfits as usual </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1414829 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 15:42:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1414829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omigosh - that bubble dress is FAB on you Sharan. Gorgeous, arty, structural, visually appealing, flattering - all of it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1414802 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 15:11:52 +0000 Angie 1414802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are gorgeously FABULOUS all round, Sharan. But the bubble dress with the new booties takes the cake for me. Absolutely Killer. You seldom wear a dress - but when you <b>do </b>- you whack it out of the ball park. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1414799 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 14:58:24 +0000 Peri 1414799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Favorite...the black and grey mesh cardigan. Well, of course. But I don't think I've told you before how much I like that taupe trench on you. The color is just so rich and perfect for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1414766 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 13:15:04 +0000 Windchime 1414766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny about the blouse cuff; that must be an occupational hazard of being a sewing instructor!</p> <p>I love your ankle pants and plummy colors in the first outfit, and how you converted the shirt into a casual, at-home outfit. Beautiful cardigan and coat in 10 and 12, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1414758 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 12:25:09 +0000 Elizabeth P 1414758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my favourite things about your style is your use of texture, which comes through beautifully here. Love the cardigan in 10 on you. And I think my fav shoe option for the dress is the fryes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1414750 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:03:37 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1414750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, the subtle tonal variations are lovely. And I love your dramatic dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1414738 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 06:00:52 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1414738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the color schemes you've got going on here. There's a lot of black but not too much, and the cream and purples make it feel interesting. It works perfectly with your coloring. I think I like the gray Fryes best with the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-remixing-some-favorites#post-1414704 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 04:25:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1414704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are my outfits for the last few days. I realized in gathering the photos that all of them feature items I have worn a fair amount, but paired differently than before, which makes them feel fresh. </p> <p>The outfits:<br />1-3 (worn to work): stone skinny pants (Classiques Entier, city weave ankle pants); purple and cream micro-houndstooth check cowl pullover blouse (made by me); purple lacy knit vest (made by me); gray moto boots (Frye, Lynn); taupe trench (Calvin Klein); black satchel (Elliott Lucca, Olvera). Not sure I've worn this blouse and vest with these pants before; I've worn them with sage pants in the past. Oh, and I noticed after I took the photos (after work) that I had one cuff up and one down! I unrolled a cuff to show someone in sewing class how I constructed the hem, and I forgot to roll it back up! </p> <p>4 (changed into after work): purple and cream micro check top again, with wine cable-knit high-low hem wool sweater (Eileen Fisher) and dark wash skinnies (Lucky, Charlotte Rail). </p> <p>5-7 (worn to work): black bubble dress with wired collar (Sun Kim); black and gray mesh knit cardigan (made by me); silver leather belt; black cable knit sweater tights (B.Ella); black suede booties with gray turn-down cuff (Paul Green, Barbie); mauve packable coat (Mycrapac); black satchel as above. First time wearing the black dress with this cardi and belt.</p> <p>8-9: I tried different boots with the outfit: gray moto boots (Frye) and flat black booties (Munro, Lexie). What do you think?</p> <p>10-12: steel gray burnout scroll print tee (made by me); wine corduroy skinnies (Eddie Bauer); cream and gray stripey weave cardigan (Eddie Bauer); gray/silver belt; gray moto boots as above; brown and gray wool coat (made by me); taupe hobo bag (Aunts &amp; Uncles). First time wearing this tee and cardi with the wine cords; I've worn them before with jeans or my pewter coated skinnies.</p> <p>Thanks for looking! I welcome your thoughts and suggestions. </p>
